CHAPTER 376: CHAPTER 371: GOLDEN CORE PERFECTION

Across a layer of Five-Colored Array, Li Quanqing looked up, and immediately saw a vast star descending, its presence dominating the heavens and earth.

Clearly, this is the extradimensional star captured jointly by the Star Sect and Four Seas Sect, now refined into a Heavenly Ship with formidable power akin to a Nascent Soul.

The size of this planet is so large that even from thousands of miles away, he could still see it clearly.

The mountains and ravines on it are visible, full of vitality, with waterfalls cascading down, and numerous arrays engraved upon it.

Many buildings stand tall on the surface of the star, ancient and majestic, with halls forming a grand Immortal City, soaring into the clouds.

The arrival of this star signifies the development of the undersea tunnel, reaching a new stage, and soon embarking on cross-sea trade for immense profit.

"The actions of the Star Sect are quicker than I thought..."

Li Quanqing recalled his own Heavenly Ship, which took more than a decade to refine successfully.

In terms of size, it is even smaller than this Qingchen Immortal City, and its array formation spiritual light is not as brilliant.

Clearly, both Nascent Soul Sects are eagerly anticipating the emergence of this Immortal City into the world.

"Looks like... I’ll have to start getting busy..."

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder and lightning swirling, Li Kunlun descended from the sky, wearing a purple robe, with strong spirit pressure surging around him.

He equally caught sight of this star and the many palaces.

According to prior agreements, the three families will jointly oversee Qingchen Immortal City, each dispatching a Golden Core Cultivator to station there throughout the year.

The Li Family has only a few Golden Core Cultivators, and the only suitable choice is none other than Li Kunlun himself.

Now that he has broken through to Late-stage Golden Core, with Thunder Spirit Root’s strong combat power, he is the optimal candidate.

"For the development of the family, it is a burden..."

Li Quanqing withdrew his gaze, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

Now, the Li Family is on a path of rapid development, appearing to thrive, but the top family elders are all under considerable pressure.

Even if one person suffers an injury or loss, it will cause great damage, and there is no one to spare.

"Being able to see the family grow day by day, becoming stronger, is indeed the most reassuring thing for me..."

"Some exhaustion doesn’t really matter."

Li Kunlun laughed heartily; ever since he tested for Earth Spirit Root and embarked on the cultivation path, he has borne the hopes and expectations of strengthening the family.

Fortunately, a more remarkable Li Quanqing emerged later, now leading the entire family towards becoming a Nascent Soul Clan.

Li Kunlun’s burden is not as heavy as before, now accompanied by many companions, feeling much lighter.

As they anticipated, with Qingchen Immortal City established, and the star’s array activated, suppressing the undersea tunnel.

The two Nascent Soul Sects couldn’t wait to start attempts at cross-sea trade.

They had already warmed up in advance, leaking much information, so even though the Immortal City is just starting, with many things awaiting repair.

It still attracted numerous loose cultivators and sects, eager to try the ancient inherited spatial tunnel, instantly spanning millions of miles straight to the outer sea.

At this time, Li Kunli took a trip, sending Li Jihan and others into the Four Seas Sect, thus beginning a new journey.

Qingchen Immortal City gradually flourishes, and as its hosts, the Li Family naturally gained fame, starting to cultivate the foundation of a Nascent Soul Clan.

Unfortunately, a cultivator’s breakthrough is not achieved overnight; it requires time to build up.

Forcing growth often results in the opposite of what is intended.

Thus, the Li Family decided to adopt another strategy, gradually assimilating those experts among the loose cultivators to strengthen their own power.

The entire Qingchen Immortal City is large, and those wishing to stay there, revering the name of the Nascent Soul Clan, are naturally numerous.

Green Jade Li Family carefully selects and indeed recruits many Guest Elders with Foundation Establishment Cultivation, mostly cultivators who mastered the Cultivation Hundred Arts.

Such as Alchemists, Talisman Masters, Spirit Plants, Artifact Refiners, and so on.

The Li Family already holds the Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe, possesses the revenue of the Immortal City, and lacks no resources, for nearly every two years, a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills can be produced.

The family’s power grows increasingly robust, now striving to ensure all ten thousand Li Family cultivator members have at least Qi Refinement Late Stage cultivation, trying to break through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.

Sadly, the Li Family now lacks Qi Refinement and Foundation Building but truly lacks Golden Core foundation.

This is something no one can help; having risen for just a century, the development time is too short.

Li Quanqing currently does not plan to recruit Golden Core cultivators as family Guest Elders; when necessary, the family’s Third-stage Demon Beasts are sufficient to fill the gap.

Besides, Golden Core cultivators from the East Sea mostly have various legacies, easily becoming dominant.

...

Time flies swiftly, and the prime of life passes easily.

In a blink of an eye, thirty years have passed since Qingchen Immortal City was established in its region.

For those secular mortals, this is half a lifetime gone by.

But in the vast and limitless Cultivation World, half a Jiazi is exceedingly brief, merely a fleeting moment.

Qingyu Cave Heaven, Jade Dragon Pond.

Amidst the roar of a dragon, dark clouds gathered in the sky, the wind howled, and eventually transformed into a torrential downpour, hitting the water with a sharp cracking sound.

The clouds thick like ink, a Green Horned Fish Dragon swimming amidst them, raging towards the sky with a series of dragon roars.

Rumble!

The next moment, with a blinding flash, a massive Heavenly Thunder struck down, bright silver, dazzling, illuminating all around like a Thunder Divine Sword!

Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation!

Li Quanqing stood on the bank of the fish pond, watching this Great Demon undergo tribulation, surrounded by mist.

Beside him, Ao Qing twined his body, bathing in the downpour, appearing exceptionally full of life.

At the fish pond, a hundred thousand Green Jade Carp floated up and down, and more than twenty Second-stage Fish Dragons, exuding demon energy, with their blue-green scale armor like islands covering the entire water surface.

This Green Horned Fish Dragon undergoing tribulation is the Li Family’s previous clan guardian spirit beast, also Ao Qing’s father-in-law, having lived for over five to six hundred years.

After years of the Li Family’s resource feeding, washing its body in the Dragon Transformation Pool, it finally evolved its bloodline, launching an attack towards becoming a Golden Core Demon.

Rumble!

Lightning flashed brightly, glowing intensely, and the last Heavenly Thunder struck, unexpectedly wrapped in gold rays, emitting a dazzling grand celestial pressure.

The Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable fearlessly raised his body, opened his mouth, and spat out a water-blue pearl, like a vast sea gathering, sounding an oceanic roar.

This is the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure, Water Spirit Pearl!

After the blinding light faded, a completely new demon beast emerged from tribulation, with twin horns on its head, a delicate body, like carved from azure jade, emanating a strong dragon aura.

[Acquired one Green Moon Qiu Dragon at Golden Core Early Stage, rewarded with one super large Spiritual Energy Group!]

Li Quanqing looked at that Light Group, unexpectedly receiving a long-missed Spiritual Energy Group reward.

And it’s super-sized!

As the Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable descended, he did not hesitate and directly crushed the Light Group, immediately a surge of Spiritual Energy erupted, forcefully infused into his body.

Like a white jade sun rising, this abundance of Spiritual Energy can be said to have surpassed high-grade Spirit Stones, reaching an unbelievable level.

Endless Spiritual Energy circulated, as if forcefully compressed together, transforming into a solid state, then fully erupting at this moment!

Spiritual Energy flowed, roaring through the meridians, completely refined into Pure Magic Power, drilling into the Golden Core, becoming its foundation!

At this moment, Li Quanqing even felt a sense of fullness, with strands of Spiritual Energy bursting from every pore, then sealed back into his body.

Originally, he needed nearly a decade of accumulation, but now it is fully replenished.

Golden Core Perfection!
