Ordinary Gang Sha, breaking through to the Golden Core is incredibly difficult. Nine Layers of Gang Sha, even more arduous. Possessing the characteristic "Dominance over all methods," although it does not lead to conflict between the nine layers of power, to refine a flawless Golden Core, one must constantly try and maintain balance.

    Four hundred full years.

    Finally, after harmonizing the Nine Layers of Gang Sha, mana as unified as Primordial Chaos, the Golden Core began to form through refining with Wind and Fire. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Achieving the very last state of the Core Formation Stage—

    The Golden Core Realm!

    From then on, the Golden Core is indestructible and imperishable. Like Luo Gu, one could even protect the Divine Soul with the Golden Core; even if the physical body shatters, one could briefly survive. Whether by seizing another body or calmly handling one''s affairs before Reincarnation, either is possible.

    Boundlessly mysterious.

    This is also Lu Qingfeng.

    The masters of all thirty-six layers of the Abyss are disciples of Zhenyuan Mountain. As the Master of Zhenyuan Mountain, the Ancestor of Guangyuan Immortal Sect, blessed by the Abyss Fortune, a thousand years of cultivation are equivalent to the typical Core Formation True Man''s two or three thousand years.

    Only then could such a speed in cultivation be achieved.

    Otherwise, with the Nine Layers of Gang Sha, one might not achieve this even after depleting the three thousand years Life Span.

    However, with this experience, whether it''s in reality or reincarnating and recultivating in the game, Condensing Evil and Refining Gang, balancing mana, and forging a Golden Core will all become much more intuitive. Even without such fortune aiding me, the speed of cultivation can greatly increase.

    In the past.

    Before reaching the Third Level of the Yellow Court Scripture, lacking the Great Method of Enlightenment, Lu Qingfeng had to practice repeatedly, becoming familiar with the details of each realm, both major and minor. Only by repetitive cultivation could one progress rapidly and flawlessly in reality.

    Now that the Great Method of Enlightenment is in hand, the effort of repeated training is saved.

    Just a couple of cycles of practice could quickly lead to proficiency.

    As the realms progress, the importance of the Great Method of Enlightenment is self-evident. With the path that Lu Qingfeng explores in the game for the real cultivation, a significant amount of time can be saved.

    The Great Method of Enlightenment is mysterious.

    Fortune is equally mysterious.

    Mortal cultivators can hardly glimpse it.

    Not just Lu Qingfeng.

    Within Zhenyuan Mountain, disciples like Xuan Ningzi, Xuan Chengzi, and protectors like Ferdinand, Branter who rank among the masters of the thirty-six layers of the Abyss, each and every one of them cultivates at Divine Speed.

    Five hundred years ago.

    The "Skull King" Ferdinand finally became "Xuan Jade Unmelting Bone", converting all his power into mana of the Immortal Dao, condensing a Golden Core, and reaching the Golden Core Peak in one fell swoop.

    Leaving the Material Realm, stepping into the Heavenly Realm.

    A hundred years more.

    The "Hell Three-headed Dog" Branter cultivated the Fire Technique, achieving the "Five Elements Yin Sha Earth Extreme True Fire," Condensing Evil and Refining Gang, and forging a Golden Core.

    Ascending to the Heavenly Realm.

    After that.

    Disciples like Xuan Ningzi, Xuan Chengzi, the nine Great Direct Disciples, each with extraordinary talent and understanding from within the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, eventually surpassed and achieved their Golden Core.

    They entered the Heavenly Realm in succession.

    A thousand years later.

    When Lu Qingfeng achieved the Golden Core,

    Out of the twenty-four Registered Disciples, there were already those who had achieved their Golden Core, shattering the Void and ascending one after another.

    Within the Material Realm.

    The Heavenly Punishment Abyss.

    The Zhenyuan Mountain.

    Only Master Guangyuan, Lu Qingfeng, stands immutable like The Control Pillar, no matter how the years change or disciples ascend, firmly presiding over the Material Realm.

    The line of Guangyuan prospers in the Immortal Dao.

    Centering the thirty-six layers of the Heavenly Punishment Abyss—

    It spreads northward to the Funeral Bell Plain.

    After the Taoyuan Immortal Sect in Biya Mountain saw the Three Immortals slain and fled into the Heavenly Realm, the backlash from Funeral Bell Plain ultimately led to their dissolution. The disciples of Biya Mountain became targets for all in the Funeral Bell Plain.

    Those who could escape did, and those who could not perished.

    Yet the lineage of Immortal Dao of Taoyuan spread across the Funeral Bell Plain.

    As the influence of Zhenyuan Mountain reached the Funeral Bell Plain, the Immortal Dao inheritance of Guangyuan swept in, taking the mainstream.

    The Funeral Bell Plain flourished in the Immortal Dao.

    To the east, towards the Moonlight Islands.

    Nine disciples of Zhenyuan Mountain personally went to preach, supporting lineage after lineage, all revering Zhenyuan Mountain. On the Moonlight Islands, manifold temples, manifold tribes, some defected, some destroyed.

    Within the Moonlight Islands, the Immortal Dao became the mainstream.

    To the west lies the Stormy Sea Domain.

    This is where the Purple Wave Water Mansion in the Earth Realm is located.

    Hidden within the depths of the sea, perhaps fearing Lu Qingfeng''s ferocity, the Purple Wave Water Mansion remained withdrawn, daring not to conflict with the Guangyuan Immortal Sect. They avoided when they could and evaded when necessary.

    Reducing their presence to the lowest.

    Under such circumstances, Lu Qingfeng did not pursue to the bitter end. He left a corner of the Stormy Sea Domain as a habitat for the Purple Wave Water Mansion.

    But two hundred years ago.

    Eight Reincarnated True Immortals from Purple Wave Water Mansion quietly left the Material Realm.

    Decades later.

    Lu Qingfeng passed on the leadership of Zhenyuan Mountain and the Material Realm Sect Leader of Guangyuan Immortal Sect to his foremost third-generation disciple, the First Layer Abyss Master Jing Yun, giving him the Sun Sword of the Three Suns One Qi Sword, before entering the Heavenly Realm himself.

    Another few decades.

    Purple Wave Water Mansion sounded the horn of the counter-attack.

    Eight Reincarnated True Immortals like Yu Xiangzi and Long Ming Daoist, whose whereabouts were unknown, suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, launching a surprise attack on the masters of the thirty-six layers of the abyss.

    Unexpectedly.

    Lu Qingfeng, having hidden in the Void interlayer for decades, suddenly emerged and caught Purple Wave Water Mansion''s eight Reincarnated True Immortals off guard, swiftly killing two—

    Namely, Yu Xiangzi and Long Ming Daoist.

    Seizing two long-coveted Immortal Artifacts, the "Golden Centipede Bamboo Stick" and "Dragon Whale Mountain."

    The remaining six Reincarnated True Immortals, on high alert, broke through space and fled to the Heavenly Realm.

    Lu Qingfeng couldn''t catch up and had to let them go.

    Thus.

    In the Material Realm, Purple Wave Water Mansion was eradicated, with the entire Stormy Sea Domain falling under Guangyuan.

    In the Material Realm, the Immortal Dao was widely practiced.

    Among the Immortal Dao paths, Guangyuan was revered.

    Firmly established among the overlords of the Material Realm, the Master of Zhenyuan Mountain and Ancestor Master Guangyuan dominated it, leaving no hope for the staunch conservatives of the Barbarian God Realm, the devout followers of deities from the Upper Realm.

    Revered as the ''Eternal Strongest of the Material Realm.''

    Time swiftly passed by.

    Three hundred years after Lu Qingfeng arrived in the Barbarian God Realm, he lectured on the Dao three times and took control of thirty-six layers of the Abyss.

    Another thousand years passed.

    He pacified all directions; in the Material Realm, only Guang Yuan was revered.

    Two more millennia.

    Through trials and tribulations, step by step, Lu Qingfeng finally reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

    That year.

    Lu Qingfeng was three thousand four hundred and twenty years old.

    ...

    On the thirty-sixth layer of the Abyss, where mountain ranges stretched and water systems crisscrossed, Lu Qingfeng stood amidst the landscape, practicing the ''Celestial Cycle Stars Fist.''

    His feet planted on the mountains and rivers of the earth, his head crowned with the river of stars, drawing starlight into himself, channeling the endless vitality of the earth''s veins, refining the essence of sun and moon above, harnessed the power of the celestial stars to nourish his body and Divine Soul.

    The Divine Soul ascended.

    The body reached Perfection.

    And with a thunderous crash, as if stepping into another realm, the world suddenly changed.

    "Hu!"

    Lu Qingfeng slowly ended his practice, exhaling a breath of white air, returning to simplicity, like an ordinary young man, showing no trace of cultivation.

    Wandering through the mountains and rivers, he was in perfect harmony with heaven and earth.

    [Name: Lu Qingfeng (Guang Yuan)]

    [Cultivation: Core Formation - Golden Core Realm]

    [Life Span: 3420/24200]

    "''Red Dust Longevity Technique'' Third Level ''Celestial Cycle Stars Fist'' has reached Perfection."

    Lu Qingfeng glanced at the ''Life Span'' data, a smile breaking across his face.

    After cultivating this technique for over three thousand years, he had finally reached the peak of its Third Level. His Life Span surged by twenty-one thousand two hundred years, even surpassing half of the Primordial Spirit True Ones throughout the countless worlds.

    "Ordinary Primordial Spirit True Ones, Life Span ten thousand and eight hundred, a convergent number of unity and void."

    Though merely at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, Lu Qingfeng''s lifespan limit had already reached twenty-four thousand two hundred years.

    Just waiting for the ascension to Primordial Spirit.

    His Life Span would further increase by seven thousand eight hundred, surpassing the great limit of thirty thousand.

    And in the future cultivation of the ''Red Dust Longevity Technique'' Fourth Level ''Green Wood Longevity Fist,'' as long as Spirit Wood is inexhaustible, he could even achieve immortality and become an immortal amid the mortal world!

    The biggest hidden danger on the path to immortality was removed.

    Lu Qingfeng felt as if he had shed a heavy shackle, his mind and body incredibly relaxed. As if breaking free from a layer of predestined fate, he felt a moment of great freedom and boundless ease.

    Traversing mountains and rivers.

    Wave after wave of epiphanies struck him.

    His cultivation, already at the peak of the Golden Core, was rising rapidly—

    The Divine Soul was leaping!

    Mana was climbing!

    Unconsciously, his body was being tempered by heaven and earth, by the river of stars, by layers of Mana.

    As such.

    The Divine Soul, Mana, and body all improved simultaneously.

    "Roar!"

    Twelve Venerable Dutian Demon Gods burst forth from within Lu Qingfeng, roaring into the void. Infinite Spiritual Energy converged, the intent of All Heavens Demon Gods coalesced, strengthening the twelve demon gods.

    The twelve Dutian Demon Gods, yet to reach the peak of the Golden Core, suddenly surged with Mana like a river, their presence equal to Lu Qingfeng''s, as powerful as the peak of the Golden Core.

    Lu Qingfeng walked through mountains and valleys, surveying the Abyss.

    The Nine Revolutions True Body, with profound foundations, masked an unimaginable divine power.

    Walking upon the earth, Lu Qingfeng transformed into the Houtu Demon God. With a human body and snake tail, seven arms behind and two in front, holding the Flying Snake, he felt the earth''s solidity and the mysteriousness of its movements.

    Upon encountering rivers, he became the Gonggong Demon God. With a serpent head and human body, clad in black scales, feet astride a Black Dragon, hands coiled with a green serpent, controlling all waters, merging with them, becoming one with the rivers, understanding the surging secrets of lakes, seas, and rivers—the mystery of the Water Element.

    Sometimes he would leap into the high sky, becoming the Tian Wu Demon God, comprehending the arcane nature of wind.

    At times submerged in clouds with rampant thunder, transforming into the Qiang Liang Demon God, understanding the might of thunder. The Nine Revolutions True Body, integrated with the ''Five Thunders True Body'' already possessed the ability to control the Five Thunders. Becoming the Qiang Liang Demon God was like achieving the power of the Thunder God himself, with all the thunder in the mortal world under his command.

    Constantly moving.

    Constantly comprehending.

    Magma underground, Abyss Fire Sea, the earth''s vast landscape, the Nine Heavens Gang Wind...

    Not only on the thirty-sixth layer of the Abyss.

    Not just the thirty-six layers of the Abyss.

    Moonlight Islands, Funeral Bell Plain, Stormy Sea Domain, Dead Silent Sea, everywhere bore the footprints of Lu Qingfeng.

    Whether it was a Flame Demon God, or the Emerald Demon God whose presence made grass and trees grow wildly, or the Tao Water Demon God stirring up thousands of waves in the sea...

    He roamed the Material Realm, completely naturally.

    Suddenly, he would become a terrifying Demon God like a yellow sac, red as Dan Fire, six-legged and four-winged, with no discernable face. With a single flap of the wings, hundreds of miles of space would be shattered, six legs stepped into the void and in an instant, as if half his body entered the layer of void, riding the chaos of space and harnessing the storm, and with a thunderous sound, when he reappeared, he was tens of thousands of miles away.

    A single wing beat spanning tens of thousands of miles!

    Even for those in the Golden Core Realm this seemed unthinkable, only a True Primordial Spirit versed in speed and space could have such ability.

    Lu Qingfeng became the Emperor Jiang Demon God, mastering space.

    Continuously flapping his wings.

    A hundred thousand miles.

    A million miles.

    With space rapidly shifting, eventually shattering the void, his whole body entered it and appeared in the layer of void. Continuing to flap his wings, he sped through the void.

    The aura of the Heavenly Realm was clear.

    The next instant.

    Space shattered, suddenly opening up.

    Lu Qingfeng, from within the thirty-sixth layer of the Abyss of the Material Realm, appeared instantaneously within the Heavenly Realm.

    ...
