Free Web NovelChapter 578: Chapter 292: Golden Core Zhenren? Fame Spreads Far and Wide_2
This Divine Demon Illusion roared up at the sky, holding a blood-colored giant axe in one hand, supporting the heavens, and standing on the earth with both feet, as if opening the sky and earth, unveiling another layer of void.
"Five Great Flood Dragon Illusion Body Protection!"
"A Divine-Demon Body Refining Technique about to reach Great Success."
Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, looking at Zheng Yi with an increasingly solemn gaze, and his old face became even more kind and amiable, squeezing out a smile.
In the Cultivation Realm of the Sea Realm, the rumors are not false.
This Isle Master Azure waves is unfathomable, although he is a new Core Formation Cultivator, he has definitely condensed a Top-Grade Golden Core, and possibly even the rumored Eighth Grade Golden Core, with an extremely powerful Magical Power Divine Technique, and also practices a formidable Divine-Demon Body Refining Technique.
How is this a human Core Formation Cultivator? Clearly, it’s a prehistoric gigantic beast dozing off, which once angered, can cause mountains to collapse, seas to overturn, and devour everything with its immense maw.
He judged that Zheng Yi most likely condensed an Eighth Grade Golden Core; otherwise, a mere newly advanced Core Formation Cultivator couldn’t possibly give him such a threatening feeling as if needles were pricking his back.
As for whether Zheng Yi condensed a Ninth Grade Golden Core, Haicang Zhenren didn’t consider it.
After all, in the Sea Realm for tens of thousands of years, even in the historical records, there’s no precedent for condensing a Ninth Grade Golden Core.
Perhaps among the Ancient Cultivators, there once appeared such a figure.
But with reality shifting, that Ancient Period had a unique cultivation environment, abundant resources, and even if by fortune someone condensed a Ninth Grade Golden Core, it was through consuming massive amounts of resources, gathering countless spiritual essences over a lifetime, and a combination of luck and coincidence to be conceived.
In the current cultivation environment, Haicang Zhenren basically didn’t make any other notions, nor did he consider Zheng Yi’s core to be above Ninth Grade.
However, his mention of Fellow Daoist Golden Core already inadvertently highlighted the theme, placing Zheng Yi on an equal level.
Zheng Yi looked at the person in higher regard, knowing that the other had seen a bit of his true strength.
This was the first time in the Sea Realm that someone called him Golden Core Zhenren.
This Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You not only had decent strength, but his insight was also not weak; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to see that the Golden Core inside Zheng Yi was of the Upper Third Grade.
As for whether it might be a Ninth Grade Golden Core, Zheng Yi had this confidence but feared it wasn’t something Haicang Zhenren could discern.
"Golden Core Zhenren Fellow Daoist Zheng, magnanimous by nature, need not bother with the trivialities of children."
Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You came up, clasping his fists in greeting, his attitude quite peaceful.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, please come this way!"
As he spoke, personally greeting Zheng Yi, walking towards the backyard.
Right after the two left the hall, a low murmur of excitement arose in the crowd.
Clearly, Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You, with his status and position, was usually a man of peace with a naturally grand demeanor, good-natured, yet his cultivation and Dao practice were well recognized, not generally accessible for a Core Formation Cultivator to discuss peer-to-peer with him.
But now, from his attitude towards Zheng Yi, everyone could perceive some insight.
"Golden Core Zhenren Fellow Daoist Zheng?!"
Firstly, the title he used clearly placed Zheng Yi on the same level as himself, the tone was very formal, directly addressing him as a fellow Daoist, and even added the words Golden Core before his name.
What does this represent?
I’m afraid no one present would not understand.
This was practically a settled conclusion.
Validated by Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You of the Immortal Floating Island, the rumored news turned out to be true.
That mysterious Isle Master Azure waves, who has stirred wave after wave as a newly advanced Core Formation Cultivator in the past ten years, really did condense an Upper Third Grade Golden Core and is a great cultivator, a Great True Master.
If not, it would be impossible for Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You to personally greet and endure the humility of placing him on an equal status.
If not, he would not be treated with such seriousness.
Furthermore, every cultivator knows that different Core Formation levels have vastly different strengths, even a Seventh Grade Golden Core cultivator is still newly Core Formed, with Dao practice standing there, yet not enough to compel such treatment from an established True Core Great Perfection Cultivator like Haicang Zhenren.
So, the subsequent developments led many to let their imaginations run wild.
Does this mysterious Isle Master Zheng Yi still have some trump card that outsiders cannot define?
The ones gathered here were of remarkable insight, with quite broad horizons, and with just a few words in their mind, they elevated the Isle Master Zheng Yi to quite a high position, arguably only second to a True Core Perfection Great Cultivator like Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You.
...
Turning past a screen, behind it lay a serene bamboo forest, and in the center of the bamboo forest on a small island, the surrounding lake waters were clear, flowers were in full bloom, presenting an idyllic out-of-this-world beauty.
At this moment, quite a few people were gathered on the small island in groups of three or five.
Most people were chatting and laughing in small groups, each person here carried a sense of high status, merely standing there gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
It’s easy to see this is the main venue for the Floating Island Immortal Assembly, with not many people present, just about thirty to forty, yet all were Cloud-like powerful Core Formation Cultivators.
Each one here represented a powerful force, and these gathered Core Formation powerhouses undoubtedly represented a portion of the Human Race’s underlying power in the Sea Realm.
However, Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You could convene so many Core Formation powers, leaders from various forces here, demonstrating considerable influence.
"Everyone, let me introduce a new fellow Daoist, a new Golden Core powerhouse among our Human Race!"
A moment later, Haicang Zhenren walked to the center, and instantly, the surrounding bustling conversations ceased, and everyone’s gaze turned to him, offering respectful attention.
All eyes immediately fell on Zheng Yi, expressing questioning expressions, appearing somewhat confused.
Of course, there were those who had seen Zheng Yi’s true appearance, showing expressions of realization, but more in their hearts were moments of epiphany.
In the past decade, this Isle Master Azure waves could be said to have seized the limelight.
Rising strongly, Crossing the Tribulation and Core Formation Pill, creating a vast momentum, yet also consolidating the pirate gangs, establishing the Azure Wave Island force, completely clearing the slate, suppressing all opposition, and beginning the collection of sea protection fees.
Even six years ago, when the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Demon Court sent an emissary to inquire, this Isle Master Azure waves without a word killed a Unicorne Flood Dragon, fiercely slapping the face of the Flood Dragon Imperial Court, even receiving a patrol and hunting decree.
Such a character, now catching the eye of Haicang Zhenren, being introduced singly at the Floating Island Immortal Assembly, on a basis of peer-to-peer, is absolutely extraordinary.
Those present were all Core Formation Cultivators, but truly able to make Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You, such a top-grade Great Cultivator, look favorably was few.
Moreover, treated with such serious consideration.
No one would doubt the vision and wisdom of Haicang Zhenren.
Together with observing Zheng Yi, most people also showed considerable respect.
"Everyone, the Isle Master Azure waves, a new guest invited to our Immortal Floating Island, is also the Golden Core Zhenren Fellow Daoist Zheng who six years ago killed the Deep Sea Demon Court’s Unicorne Flood Dragon and brought prestige to our Human Race Immortal Island cultivators. Everyone should get acquainted!"
Even before Haicang Zhenren finished speaking, the crowd’s gaze towards Zheng Yi, one after another, burst into a series of bright lights.
Occasionally sounds of whispering echoed.
Of course, more people were secretly transmitting divine messages to each other.
Only with an Upper Third Grade Golden Core as the foundation does a Core Formation cultivator qualify to be called Golden Core Zhenren.
These mere four words carried significant weight, not just representing a title but also a representation of strength.
The name of the Isle Master Azure waves has spread across many sea regions over these years.
But since Zheng Yi mostly secludes himself and leads a very reclusive life, few truly recognize him.
Moreover, due to killing the Unicorne Flood Dragon six years ago, he led people to abandon the island and go on the run, with many secretly mocking the Azure Wave Island.
Now seeing Zheng Yi suddenly appear at this Floating Island Immortal Assembly, receiving such serious attention from Haicang Zhenren, it was indeed akin to peer-to-peer interaction.
