Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 762: Chapter 653: Golden Core Middle Stage

Her gaze was ethereal and elusive, subtly sensing the familiar icy Dao Rhyme.

"It seems that in just a few more years, Fellow Daoist Shen will be able to return to the Danxia Sect in Yan Country with me."

Now, she missed her flesh body immensely.

The Nether Pill was good, but not as good as the True Pill.

In a Tier Three Cave Mansion.

The clone of True Master Xuan Yuan stood by the window, gazing toward the direction of the Cold Ice Cave, his brow slightly furrowed.

At this moment, he showed no signs of joy, instead a hint of solemnity and worry.

He thought silently, "Senior Brother Profound Ice’s advancement is so fast, he is definitely no ordinary being."

"The conflict between Master and Spirit Sword True Master is deepening, and I don’t know where his stance lies."

Outside the Practice Room.

Qin Yuehan sat restlessly, her eyes full of tension and concern, frequently glancing toward the Practice Room.

Despite having confidence in her husband.

She was still somewhat uneasy.

Beside her, Shangguan Yan’Er gently advised, "Sister, do not worry. Your husband possesses great Divine Power, and his Dao Foundation is stable. This breakthrough is sure to be successful."

"I have heard, after a Cultivator forms their Core, minor breakthroughs in realms, accompanied by heavenly phenomena, are a sign of significant increase in Cultivation. Your husband will certainly be unharmed and smoothly breakthrough."

Hearing this, Qin Yuehan felt a bit reassured and gently nodded.

Outside the Cave Mansion, the hundred-zhang-high Zi Ning, the Purple Veined Divine Tree, at this moment was bathed in purple light that flowed around its body, with countless branches and leaves moving without a breeze, emitting a clear sound.

It fully expanded its Spiritual Perception, carefully comprehending the residual phenomena of Dao Rhyme in the heavens and the earth.

The ice mountain condensed, and the ice dragon appeared, containing a hint of the true meaning of water’s transformation according to the Heavenly Dao.

For it, this was a precious demonstration of the great Dao.

...

In the Practice Room, Shen Xuan inspected the changes on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

The first thing he noticed was Lifespan.

[Lifespan: 210/1220]

Hmm, an increase of one hundred sixty years of Lifespan.

That is more than double that of a normal Golden Core Cultivator.

This allowed Shen Xuan to exhale a sigh of relief.

"Very good. I can continue to cultivate [Other Shore Devil Flower], without worrying about Lifespan depletion."

After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Spiritual Power doubled, and the Divine Soul and Divine Sense increased by seventy to eighty percent.

Most importantly, his flesh body was once again strengthened.

This also laid the foundation for him to impact the Body Refining Divine Realm.

For Shen Xuan, the Middle Stage of Golden Core was not a concern.

The true test was the breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm.

"The Demon Core, Essence Blood, and inverse scales of the Black Water Flood Dragon Snake are enough to break through the bottleneck."

"With such a long Lifespan, even if I need to endure, I can persist until the Divine Power Realm."

"Although there are recovery skills such as [Self-Healing], [Endless Life], and [Ice Soul Regeneration]."

"And the protection of the Nine-colored Treasure Lotus."

"However, as a Tier Four Cultivator, it’s very likely to face Celestial Tribulation Divine Thunder."

"In the Profound Origin Continent, tales of Body Refining Masters at the Divine Power Realm are rarely heard."

"Does the Heavenly Dao Rules of this Profound Origin Continent perhaps not permit the existence of Body Refining Masters at the Divine Power Realm?"

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan felt a bit uneasy.

The Body Refining Technique is his most relied-on trump card.

It is also his most likely pathway to becoming a Tier Four Cultivator.

"No matter what, I must strive to achieve the Divine Power Realm."

"If I can possess and refine the Primordial True Water, even if the attempt to reach the Divine Power Realm fails, I can still preserve my life."

He had a bold hypothesis.

In the Profound Origin Continent, the higher the Cultivator’s Realm Cultivation, the stronger their Magical Power, and the more likely they are to suffer punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

This is also why Tier Four Cultivators in the Profound Origin Continent rarely take action.

Most Tier Four Cultivators live in seclusion in their Dao Fields, reducing their number of actions to avoid Divine Punishment as much as possible.

Currently, Shen Xuan’s strength can rival the Late Stage of Golden Core.

Compared to veteran Major Sect Golden Core Cultivators like Spirit Sword True Master and lost path True, he is slightly inferior.

Against Celestial Thunder True Master, he is certain of victory.

With Celestial Wind True Master, it would be evenly matched.

The strength of Hidden Image True Master is unknown.

Perhaps their battle prowess exceeds his somewhat.

However, in terms of endurance, they certainly don’t surpass him.

Below the Nascent Soul Realm, without special Spiritual Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, it is very difficult to endanger his life.

"With the Profound Ice Treasure Talisman and [Other Shore Devil Flower], even if I encounter a Nascent Soul, I have the power to contend!"

"At the very least, I have the ability to escape from Nascent Soul stage Great Cultivators!"

[Other Shore Devil Flower] is Shen Xuan’s ultimate Dao-protecting measure, capable of fighting across Great Realms with immense lethality.

These years, Shen Xuan, mindful of his Lifespan, has been proceeding cautiously without rushing forward aggressively.

On the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Other Shore Devil Flower: Mastery (288/400)]

[Spirit Root: Fire 80/100]

[Dao Rhyme: 1192816]

For seven years, apart from diligently cultivating Ice Techniques, he has continually refined True Master Primordial Fire’s Golden Core.

Upon reaching eighty points, his Fire Spirit Root ceased to increase.

However, the accumulation of Dao Rhyme has reached nearly twelve hundred thousand.

Should an emergency situation arise.

Shen Xuan could invest all the Dao Rhyme into the [Other Shore Devil Flower].

Directly advancing it to the Realm of Minor Achievement.

His Lifespan remains at a thousand years.

Ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs undoubtedly have shorter Lifespans than he does.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Monarch is about a thousand years.

Having three to five hundred years remaining is considered young.

As long as Shen Xuan is ruthless enough and willing to expend his Lifespan.

He can completely pull an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch down with him.

"Therefore, as I am now, below the Nascent Soul Realm, I am unrivaled; above it, I can ensure one-for-one."
