Chapter 632: The best in the world, this state is the best

“Yes!”

Lu Miaoge gently pursed her red lips, her clear, water-like eyes gleaming with a bright and firm light.

She didn’t directly circulate her cultivation technique; instead, she calmed her mind, and her life over the past hundred years flashed through her mind.

In her childhood, influenced by her family and under her father’s guidance, she aspired to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

After starting her cultivation, she came into contact with talisman-making and was praised by the Fourth Elder for her excellent talent in talisman-making, with the potential to surpass her predecessors in the future. Her father was overjoyed upon hearing this and placed great expectations on her.

For the first twenty years or so, she grew up step by step under the cultivation and guidance of her family.

It wasn’t until Lu Changsheng, this brother-in-law, appeared that the trajectory of her life gradually changed.

How could she not know about Lu Changsheng’s early admiration for her? It was just that her heart was focused on cultivation, and she had no feelings for men and women.

As the two spent a long time together, discussing the Dao of Talismans, they gradually developed some affection, but in her heart, it was more of a sisterly affection, treating this brother-in-law like a younger brother.

It wasn’t until she encountered rogue cultivators, her life was in danger, and she entered the Abyss of Death that Lu Changsheng used the dual cultivation secret technique to save her, completely breaking through the relationship between the two.

Thinking of the bits and pieces of the past eighty years with Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge still had a dreamlike feeling.

Her goal from back then had already been achieved.

And now, she was about to step into the Golden Core realm, which was once out of reach!

Her father, her vaguely remembered mother, and the figures of the elders in her family appeared in her mind, as if they were looking at her with anticipation.

“Sister Miaoge, this is just the beginning. In the future, we will continue to walk together, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Transformation God!”

Over the decades, Lu Changsheng’s help, care, and even favoritism towards her surged into her heart.

Even if she had been left behind and was gradually unable to help Lu Changsheng, she would at least do her best to support the family from behind and help him increase his chances of forming a Nascent Soul when he attempted to do so!

“The highest good is like water, which benefits all things and does not contend. Nothing in the world can contend with it.”

Lu Miaoge began to circulate the “Supreme Goodness Like Water Technique.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng circulated the “Supreme Oneness Dao Technique,” forming a mysterious resonance with her.

When Lu Miaoge’s essence, energy, spirit, and magical power climbed to their peak, the two opened their eyes and looked at each other with tenderness.

After more than eighty years as husband and wife, there was no need for words; a single glance was enough.

The two embraced tightly, and the Sun and Moon Cycle Technique began to circulate.

This technique was helpful for cultivators breaking through Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Transformation God.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had already cultivated this technique to a profound level, and it was incomparably compatible. Now that Lu Changsheng was in the late stage of Golden Core and possessed a Nascent Soul-level spiritual sense, his help to Lu Miaoge’s Golden Core formation completely surpassed any Golden Core spiritual object!

For a time, within the cave, the sun and moon revolved, and a chapter of life’s melody was played, beautiful and moving.

After a long time, Lu Miaoge’s immortal skin and jade bones flowed with a crystal-clear luster, and her surging essence and magical power circulated. Within her Qi Sea Dantian, the [Supreme Oneness Dao Seed] and the [Supreme Goodness Like Water Dao Foundation] merged, bursting forth with ten thousand zhang of radiant light.

This kind of movement was even better than when Meng Xiaochun and Xiao Xiyue broke through to Golden Core.

It wasn’t that Lu Miaoge’s foundation surpassed Meng Xiaochun and Xiao Xiyue, but that Lu Changsheng’s foundation was too strong.

The help that the Supreme Oneness Dao Seed gave to Lu Miaoge was too great, exceeding Lu Changsheng’s own expectations.

Or rather, Lu Changsheng’s estimates were too conservative!

“Boom boom boom—”

Within the Sumeru Cave Heaven, the misty spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept towards Lu Miaoge like rain.

Because the starting point was too high, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too violent and turbulent. Lu Changsheng immediately signaled Sumeru to slow down the spiritual energy.

Lu Miaoge didn’t practice body refinement. Although her body had been tempered for many years and was comparable to a second-order body cultivator, she still couldn’t withstand the impact of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like he could.

And so, Lu Changsheng quietly watched Lu Miaoge’s breakthrough from the side, protecting her.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he crushed a talisman, signaling Ling Zixiao Immortal City to begin the Golden Core celestial phenomena prepared in Great Dream Immortal City.

At the same time.

Yue Country, Golden Sun Sect.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

On Sky Kite Peak, the sky and earth suddenly changed color.

Countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth surged like a tide, gathering towards Sky Kite Peak, forming a huge vortex tide of spiritual energy, turbulent and surging.

“What’s going on?”

“Sky Kite Peak, could it be Senior Brother Qingshan!”

“Senior Brother Qingshan is breaking through to Golden Core!? I remember it hasn’t been long since he broke through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, right?”

“Before, Junior Brother Qingshan made great contributions on the front line, and the sect bestowed the Crystal Condensation Pill and top-grade Golden Core spiritual objects, so he’s directly breaking through to Golden Core!”

“Golden Core, I didn’t expect Senior Brother Qingshan to start forming his Golden Core. I wonder what grade his Golden Core will be, and whether he has a chance for a high-grade Golden Core!”

“With Senior Brother Qingshan’s talent, he will definitely be able to form a high-grade Golden Core, but this is too fast. I feel like it will easily lead to an unstable foundation.”

“No, you don’t understand. Lu Qingshan’s Sword Dao emphasizes invincibility, moving forward without hesitation, unstoppable. If he hesitates and makes many preparations because of forming his Golden Core, it would be inelegant and affect his state of mind!”

Sky Kite Peak belongs to a maverick lineage in the Golden Sun Sect. Besides Sky Kite True Person, there are only Lu Qingshan and his sister Lu Qingzhu.

Therefore, when the Golden Core celestial phenomenon appeared on Sky Kite Peak, the sect disciples and cultivators immediately guessed that it was Lu Qingshan who was breaking through to Golden Core.

With Lu Qingshan’s reputation, it can be said that everyone in the Golden Sun Sect knew him. Many disciples walked out of their caves and looked towards Sky Kite Peak, discussing animatedly.

It could be seen that the tide vortex formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was very fierce, constantly expanding, like a funnel-shaped tornado vortex, swirling and whistling, and also filled with a faint glow, radiant and colorful.

“What an amazing phenomenon!”

Not only the disciples, but also the several elders and the sect master of the Golden Sun Sect who were stationed in the sect also looked towards Sky Kite Peak, marveling in their hearts.

Especially the Golden Sun Sect Master, seeing this scene, his face was full of joy.

During these years of the Liang-Yue War, the Golden Sun Sect also suffered heavy casualties.

Although they quickly cultivated two Golden Core cultivators to make up for the sect’s top combat power, the effect was limited.

But Lu Qingshan was different!

During Foundation Establishment, he was invincible at the same level, and even killed Pseudo-Core True Persons by leapfrogging. This kind of combat power was simply amazing!

As long as he breaks through to Golden Core, he will definitely be an invincible existence at the same level, able to win glory for the Golden Sun Sect on the front-line battlefield.

Moreover, Mixed Origin True Lord and Violet Light True Lord have drawn up a list of seeds, deciding to focus on cultivating them!

Lu Qingshan is on this list.

As long as he performs well, not to mention Nascent Soul in the future, the late stage of Golden Core is definitely not a problem!

With Lu Qingshan’s Sword Dao talent, as long as he breaks through to the late stage of Golden Core, he will be a top existence below Nascent Soul, enough to support a world for the Golden Sun Sect and compete for fourth-order spiritual lands and Nascent Soul resources!

As time passed, the spiritual energy vortex tide on Sky Kite Peak impacted towards a radius of ten miles.

This phenomenon represents a high-grade Golden Core!

“High-grade Golden Core, Senior Brother Qingshan is really going to break through to a high-grade Golden Core!”

“With Senior Brother Qingshan’s strength, it’s very normal to break through to a high-grade Golden Core.”

With Lu Qingshan’s early performance, the Golden Sun Sect cultivators who were watching, although amazed, were not too surprised.

However, when they saw that the Golden Core celestial phenomenon was still rising steadily, without the slightest slowing down, everyone was shocked.

“Could it be that Senior Brother Qingshan wants to break through to an Immortal Golden Core!?”

For three-grade Golden Cores, or even two-grade Golden Cores, most people can still accept it.

But the meaning of one-grade Golden Core is really different. It is known as the [Immortal Golden Core] and is the highest achievement of Golden Core!

If Lu Qingshan accumulates for a few more decades, he may still have hope, but this is too fast!

“This—”

Even the Golden Sun Sect Master was shocked.

Not only had Sky Kite True Person told him about Lu Qingshan’s situation, but he himself had also chatted with Lu Qingshan.

Knowing that the probability of the latter forming an Immortal Golden Core was at most one or two percent.

But now, he was actually going to directly break through to an Immortal Golden Core!

“If he fails to stabilize it and lacks stamina, wouldn’t it be…”

What cultivators fear most when breaking through to Golden Core is using too much force in the early stage, leading to insufficient stamina and failing to stabilize it.

Thinking of Lu Qingshan’s usual temperament, he was extremely worried.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately summoned the sect’s stationed formation master and, through the sect’s restrictions, activated the mountain protection formation of Sky Kite Peak to stabilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and conceal the celestial phenomenon.

On the one hand, to prevent anyone from going to Sky Kite Peak and interfering with Lu Qingshan.

On the other hand, whether it was failure or success, it would cause a certain impact. It would be better to directly conceal it so that only the high-level officials would know.

And when he had nothing to do, he, the master of a sect, would directly come to Sky Kite Peak to guard it.

Ten days later.

“Boom!”

The spiritual energy tide vortex on Sky Kite Peak steadily dissipated, and a burst of Daoist music resounded, accompanied by a radiant auspicious cloud lingering.

Even with the great formation concealing it, the Golden Core cultivators of the Golden Sun Sect could still sense some of the situation.

Knowing that it was a high-grade Golden Core, their hearts were full of envy and bitterness.

“Good, good, good!”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader, sitting in charge of Sky Kite Peak, was beaming with joy and cheering.

Although he couldn’t be sure if it was an Immortal Golden Core, this celestial phenomenon indicated it was at least a Second Grade Golden Core!

Such quality of Golden Core was enough to earn the resource cultivation of Primordial Unity True Lord and Violet Light True Lord!

He didn’t leave, waiting here for Lu Qingshan to come out of seclusion.

As the Sect Leader, he not only had to handle the sect’s affairs, deal with other sects and forces, but also enhance the sect’s culture, sense of belonging, and cohesion.

For a genius disciple like Lu Qingshan, or rather, an Elder, he naturally had to put in more effort to enhance his sense of identity and belonging to the sect.

Lu Qingshan, who was in seclusion, noticed the Golden Sun Sect Leader waiting outside.

After completing the consolidation of his cultivation realm, he walked out of the cave dwelling with some excitement.

An Immortal Golden Core has a 30% chance of forming a nascent soul even without external opportunities.

It can be said that condensing an Immortal Golden Core is equivalent to stepping half a foot into the Nascent Soul realm!

“It’s a pity I can’t go home and show off.”

Lu Qingshan thought of his old man’s feat of killing Tu Yuan with a single sword, and immediately felt it was uninteresting. His Immortal Golden Core was not worth showing off at all.

“Qingshan, congratulations on forming your Golden Core!”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward to congratulate Lu Qingshan and presented a personally prepared gift box.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Even though the Golden Sun Sect Leader had always treated him well, at this moment, Lu Qingshan could still feel a clear difference.

From this moment on, the two were on equal footing.

“Qingshan, have you condensed an Immortal Golden Core?”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader asked expectantly.

“My Lu Qingshan’s Golden Core is naturally the best in the world, the highest grade in this realm.”

Lu Qingshan said with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his expression calm.

In his words, a sharp and fierce sword intent soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, filling the entire Sky Kite Peak with an invisible sword energy, causing the leaves to fall and rustle.

“Good, good, good!”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader didn’t mind his bragging tone.

After all, he was qualified to say this.

The Immortal Golden Core is the highest grade in this realm!

If he had broken through to the Golden Core stage and condensed an Immortal Golden Core when he was seventy or eighty years old, he might have been even crazier than Lu Qingshan in front of him!

“Sect Leader, now that I have broken through, my previous flying swords are no longer sufficient. I wonder if the sect has any Third-Order Flying Swords?”

Lu Qingshan didn’t continue to brag, but said seriously.

He was different from ordinary people, possessing a total of eight flying swords.

Apart from the Stellar Sword Embryo, he couldn’t nurture the other seven flying swords at all. When he reached the realm, he could only buy them or obtain them through other means.

Now that he had broken through to the Golden Core stage, these seven flying swords naturally could no longer be used and needed to be reacquired.

“The sect does have Third-Order Flying Swords, but you can only use three of them. If you need them, I can approve them for you, or ask a weapon refiner to refine Third-Order Flying Swords for you, but according to the sect’s rules, breaking through to the Golden Core…”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader knew that Lu Qingshan had obtained a top-level sword Dao inheritance. Usually, in addition to a magic treasure embryo, he also had seven flying swords forming a sword formation.

However, the Golden Sun Sect was not a pure sword cultivator sect, and there were not many Third-Order Flying Swords.

Moreover, the sect had rules that a newly advanced Golden Core cultivator could only choose one or two magic treasures at most.

It was impossible to give Lu Qingshan all three flying swords at once, and it was necessary to go through the formal process.

However, in extraordinary times, he was willing to open a back door for Lu Qingshan, approve them for him in advance, and ask someone to help him refine them, and then deduct them from his contributions later.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Lu Qingshan cupped his hands in response.

His cultivation technique was based on the Great Geng Metal Sword Manual, absorbing many sword manuals, and creating a sword manual unique to himself.

Among them, many methods of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture were integrated into his own sword manual.

For example, his method of using seven flying swords to kill enemies and set up a sword formation was simplified from the Seven Luminaries Star Sword Formation.

Now that he had broken through to the Golden Core stage, as long as he refined the Seven Luminaries Star Swords, he could display the true power of this sword formation, continue to be invincible in the same realm, and even kill enemies across realms!

“Qingshan, when are you planning to hold the Golden Core celebration ceremony?”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader said with a smile.

“Now that the battle situation on the front line is fierce, what is the point of such a ceremony? When my realm is stable and my supernatural powers are slightly successful, and I have killed three or five Golden Core cultivators, the world will know that I, Lu Qingshan, have broken through to the Golden Core stage, and it will not be too late to hold this ceremony.”

Lu Qingshan said, his words filled with extreme confidence, an aura of invincibility!

This was not him pretending.

But he believed from the bottom of his heart that after his supernatural powers and magic treasures were slightly successful, even if he couldn’t fight a Golden Core cultivator with a single sword like his father, he could also kill a Golden Core cultivator with a sword formation!

The Golden Sun Sect Leader was infected by Lu Qingshan’s words and momentum.

This was a true heart of invincibility!

I am invincible, I alone prove the Dao, all things in the world cannot be stopped, even immortals and Buddhas in front of me must be killed by my sword!

“Perhaps it is this kind of state of mind and sword intent that can break through the Immortal Golden Core like a hot knife through butter.”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader sighed secretly in his heart.

He was also a top genius back then, with sharp edges, but compared with Lu Qingshan’s ambition, he was still much worse.

“Okay, you will cultivate supernatural powers and techniques in the sect these days to stabilize your realm. I will ask Junior Brother Ou to forge flying swords for you later!”

The Golden Sun Sect Leader didn’t say anything more, and nodded.

“Thank you, Sect Leader, this disciple will definitely not forget the sect’s kindness in cultivating me!”

Although Lu Qingshan’s sense of belonging to the sect was average.

But for decades, the sect had not treated him badly, and he would remember these in his heart and repay them one by one.

“Now that you have broken through to the Golden Core stage, you will also be a sect elder. This elder ceremony is still necessary. You can notify me when you finish your seclusion.”

An average sense of belonging to the sect would not require disciples to live and die with the sect, as long as they did not forget the sect’s kindness.

Therefore, most sects and forces cultivate disciples, in addition to talent, but also look at character.

Lu Qingshan’s treatment of his younger sister Lu Qingzhu was enough to show that he valued love and righteousness.

“Okay.”

Lu Qingshan nodded and then went back to cultivate in seclusion.

As for going to Jiang Country to pick up his younger sister Lu Qingzhu, there was no hurry.

It had only been two and a half years since his younger sister returned home, and it would be purely courting scolding if he rushed over to pick her up as soon as he broke through to the Golden Core stage, right?

His aunt and mother might not say anything, but with his old man’s temperament, he was afraid that he would drive him away.

“Hey, that’s not right, my father and I have always been incompatible, maybe when I go home, he will go out.”

Lu Qingshan thought of the several times he had returned home in his early years, and his father was not at home.

At this moment, Primordial Unity Sect, Limitless Peak.

“Junior Sister, congratulations on breaking through to the Golden Core stage!”

Lu Muping saw his junior sister walking out of the cave dwelling and immediately stepped forward to congratulate her.

Seeing his junior sister successfully break through to the Golden Core stage, he felt an unspeakable joy in his heart, feeling that what he had done was completely worthwhile, and he had not failed his master’s kindness in cultivating him.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Shen Yu was in a very good mood at this time, and thanked her senior brother with a smile.

Although she could most likely break through to the Golden Core stage by relying on her father’s inheritance, the Core Condensation Pill.

But without the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit given by her senior brother, how could she have condensed a Fourth Grade Golden Core!

A Fourth Grade Golden Core had already surpassed countless people, and was also a leader among Golden Core cultivators!

The senior brother Lu Muping in front of her was only a Fifth Grade Golden Core cultivator.

As for Top Grade Golden Cores, it was easier said than done, but how many people in the entire Yue Country cultivation world were Top Grade Golden Cores?

Even in the Primordial Unity Sect, the number of people with Top Grade Golden Cores was only a handful.

But when she thought that her father was a top cultivator who had condensed a Top Grade Golden Core, Shen Yu felt a heavy sadness in her heart.

“Father, don’t worry, when your daughter has the ability, I will definitely avenge you, you must bless your daughter…”

Afterwards, Shen Yu and her senior brother Lu Muping came to her father’s tombstone to pay their respects, muttering in their mouths.

Lu Muping, who was next to her, looked at the tombstone of his master, and then looked at the junior sister next to him who had a bit more immortal energy, his expression was gratified and somewhat complicated, reluctant.

Several months later, when Shen Yu came out of seclusion, she learned a piece of news that her senior brother Lu Muping had made a big mistake and was sent to the front line by the sect to atone for his sins.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry, Junior Sister will definitely not forget you.”

Shen Yu only murmured softly when she heard this news.

Although her senior brother was a Golden Core cultivator, he was only in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, how could it be easy to obtain a Five Elements Spiritual Fruit.

So she guessed in her heart where her senior brother’s Five Elements Spiritual Fruit came from.
