Chapter 640 Fear Arises, Golden Core Technique Perfected
Endless sword energy enveloped the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

With the release of its power, the snow-covered forest within a radius of several miles was shattered into pieces.

It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that the sword energy dissipated, revealing the figures of three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

At this moment, the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators looked rather disheveled.

His entire body was ripped apart by the sword energy, his robes torn and covered in blood.

Even their auras had weakened considerably; clearly, resisting Lu Qing's sword energy had left them all seriously injured.

The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, their faces grim, disregarded their injuries and quickly gave chase.

However, when they arrived outside Ice Soul Valley, the little thief was nowhere to be seen.

The sky was empty, with only endless snow-covered gales blowing. Within a hundred miles, there was not a single person.

The thief had vanished without a trace; his presence could no longer be sensed.

The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators immediately used secret techniques to make calculations.

However, it turned out that everything was blurry, and it was impossible to deduce the direction in which the thief had escaped.

Clearly, the other party was carrying a secret treasure that could shield cause and effect, and had long since disappeared.

Upon realizing this, the three men's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that sword energy blocking my way, how could he have escaped so easily?"

One of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators said resentfully.

The other two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators remained silent.

The sword energy that Lu Qing had unleashed earlier had truly surprised them.

That has reached the true limit of the Golden Core Realm, the maximum power allowed by the rules of Ice Soul Valley.

Even for them, at their maximum power, this is the most they can achieve.

Otherwise, how could they have been injured by a Golden Core cultivator so suddenly?

A Golden Core cultivator with such strength must be a top-tier Golden Core cultivator who has reached the ninth stage of Golden Core perfection.

Furthermore, one must cultivate a swordsmanship lineage that is extremely profound.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hurt them.

"Have you noticed that the little thief's sword aura is quite extraordinary? It seems to resemble the swordsmanship tradition of that legendary place?"

At this moment, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator suddenly spoke.

The other two were taken aback.

"The legendary swordsmanship tradition?"

The other Nascent Soul Realm cultivator initially looked puzzled, but after recalling the three sword energies from before, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"You're not talking about that place, are you?"

"Otherwise, I can't think of any other place where such terrifying sword intent can be cultivated."

"Wait, what are you talking about? Where are we?" The third Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was still completely confused.

“The Heaven-Breaking Sword Sect.” The first-ranked Nascent Soul Realm cultivator said in a deep voice, “That legendary holy land of sword cultivators, the sword aura of that little thief just now had the implication of cleaving through heaven and earth and destroying everything, which is very similar to the Heaven-Breaking Sword Aura of the legendary Heaven-Breaking Sword Sect.”

"The Heaven-Breaking Sword Sect?!" Upon hearing this, the third Nascent Soul Realm cultivator gasped in shock: "That sword sect full of madmen?"

He was somewhat incredulous, but recalling the sword energy unleashed by the little thief earlier, he had to admit that his guess was not without merit.

That kind of sharp and terrifying sword energy was something he had never seen before in his life. Apart from the disciples of that legendary sword sect, it was hard to imagine that any other sword cultivator could cultivate it.

Even the sword intent cultivated by the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the top sword sects in the Tianyuan Great World, is not as domineering and fierce.

"The Broken Sky Sword Sect actually has disciples who have come to our Tianyuan Great World for training. I wonder if the Holy Alliance is aware of this?"

"Whether we know it or not, this is not something we can control."

"If they are truly disciples of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, it's no wonder they are so audacious as to risk their lives right under our noses."

"Unfortunately, it seems we'll have to swallow this loss."

Having guessed that the thief was likely a disciple of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators knew that it would be difficult to recover their losses.

The legendary Sword Cultivation Holy Land of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect possesses terrifying strength and a renowned reputation that resonates throughout several surrounding immortal realms.

Although the number of disciples in this sect is not large, each one of them is extremely powerful, a true peerless genius, capable of suppressing countless geniuses of the same era.

Most importantly, the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect is an extremely protective sect.

If a disciple is bullied, it's fine if it's a contest between people of the same cultivation level. But if an older cultivator uses their cultivation level to suppress others, it's easy to provoke the old monster behind them.

They truly belong to the kind of sect where if the younger ones are beaten, the older ones will step in.

Therefore, the forces in the surrounding immortal realms all avoid the people of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect like the plague, and few people would provoke them.

If Lu Qing is indeed a disciple of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators should be thankful that they didn't catch up with him earlier.

Otherwise, getting stuck with such a hot potato would be incredibly unlucky.

"Well, well, I never expected that the rare appearance of the Xuanbing Cold Flame would be snatched away by someone else. It seems that I, this old man, am having a run of bad luck lately, and it would be better if I stopped wandering around outside."

One of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators sighed and decided not to even enter Ice Soul Valley. Instead, he transformed into a stream of light and fled away.

"Old Zhao has actually left?"

The remaining two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were surprised.

However, they didn't think much of it. Instead, they glanced at each other and entered Ice Soul Valley again.

Although the Xuanbing Cold Flame is gone, the other treasures that might be produced in the valley are still quite useful to them.

We've come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed.

……

Lu Qing had no idea that the sword energy he unleashed before leaving had instilled fear in three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, even dispelling their desire for revenge.

The moment he flew out of Ice Soul Valley, after sensing that no one was around, he activated the teleportation talisman, moved through the void, and appeared hundreds of miles away.

Although the primordial spirit perception of someone in the initial stage of primordial spirit is powerful, it is not yet at the level of covering hundreds of miles with a single thought, so naturally, it is impossible to detect his whereabouts.

After flying another thousand miles, Lu Qing found a cave in a mountain forest, went inside, and set up an array to conceal his presence.

"Aqing, here!"

Xiao Li emerged from the hood and took out a jade bottle.

Inside was the Xuanbing Cold Flame.

Lu Qing took the jade bottle and began to examine it.

This jade bottle was one of the many treasures he obtained during the battle at Tian Shu Divine Mountain.

It is a jade bottle of the treasure level, capable of containing various exotic and spiritual flames.

Otherwise, ordinary magical artifacts might not be able to withstand the power of the Xuanbing Cold Flame.

After checking and finding no problems, Lu Qing put the jade bottle away.

"Ah Qing, aren't you going to refine it?" Xiao Li asked.

It knew that Lu Qing's cultivation path originally involved all five elements, allowing him to refine spiritual objects and treasures of various attributes. Later, after cultivating the techniques obtained from the secret realm, he was even more capable of refining all things, encompassing everything.

Although the Xuanbing Cold Flame is mysterious, it shouldn't be too difficult for Lu Qing.

“I don’t need this spirit fire. This is for Xiaoyan.” Lu Qing patted the little guy’s head.

"Leave it for Xiaoyan? Oh right, Xiaoyan's cultivation method is perfect for this spiritual fire." Xiao Li finally realized.

Speaking of Xiaoyan, the little guy became a little downcast: "Aqing, when are we going home? I miss Xiaoyan after all these years away."

"Soon, it won't be long before we can go back," Lu Qing reassured him.

He has now figured out how to proceed on the path beyond the ninth level of the Golden Elixir.

Next, all that's needed is to deduce the final three stages of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method].

With his current aptitude, it won't be long before he can perfect his cultivation.

If he then achieves the primordial spirit, his foundation will reach an incomparably profound level.

Once you achieve the primordial spirit, you can set off to return to your home world. Then, there will be no chance of anything happening again, and you won't have to go through the same perils you faced when you came here.

"However, after we deduce the final three stages of the [Perfect Golden Core Technique], we still need to get some more spirit stones."

Thinking about this, Lu Qing felt somewhat helpless.

The more techniques he cultivated, the deeper his foundation became, and the stronger he grew.

This is certainly a good thing; countless people dream of having this.

However, his foundation was so solid that every improvement in his cultivation required a massive amount of resources.

The battle at Tian Shu Divine Mountain back then earned Lu Qing a considerable amount of spirit stones.

However, after more than ten years of seclusion, his cultivation reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, and his mastery of witchcraft also reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Golden Witch.

While the increase in strength is incredibly rapid, the amount of spirit stones consumed is also staggering.

This has left him with very few spirit stones.

The final three stages of the twelve-stage Golden Core process must require an enormous amount of resources.

If you don't find a way to get more spirit stones, you can only cultivate using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Lu Qing didn't know how long he would have to cultivate before he could possibly break through to the twelfth level, let alone achieve the primordial spirit.

Therefore, he decided to first deduce the final three stages of the [Perfect Golden Core Method], and then find a way to earn some spirit stones.

"Back in my hometown world, I left because of the lack of spiritual energy and the scarcity of spirit stones. I never expected that I would still be so short of spirit stones in the Tianyuan Great World."

Lu Qing shook his head with a slight chuckle, then gave Xiao Li a few instructions before activating his special ability and beginning his seclusion once again in the ordinary cave.

Time flies when you're in the mountains; the time spent cultivating always passes by quickly.

Soon, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qing, who had been sitting cross-legged in the cave, immersed in the deduction of the cultivation technique, finally opened his eyes.

His eyes held a detached indifference, yet seemed to hold the movement of stars, brimming with wisdom.

After a long while, the strange phenomenon in Lu Qing's eyes disappeared, and a feeling of extreme exhaustion suddenly surged into his soul.

Even with the help of his special abilities and the fact that his soul talisman had reached the perfect level of the Yang Talisman, the intense cultivation practice that had lasted for half a year still left him feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Although he was physically exhausted, his eyes revealed great joy.

"After six months of simulations, we have finally figured out the final three phases."

Indeed, during his six months of seclusion, Lu Qing followed the inspiration he had captured from observing the appearance of Ice Soul Valley and continued to deduce. Now, he has finally deduced all three final stages of the Perfect Golden Core Technique.

"However, just as I realized back then, in order to step into the tenth revolution, one must first cultivate one's magic power, physical body, and soul to the level of the perfect ninth revolution of the Golden Core."

Only when all three are combined can one break through that barrier, surpass the limits, and step into that incredible level.

My physical body, however, is still somewhat lacking.

Lu Qing's current cultivation follows the Dao lineage, the Wu Clan's heritage, and the Divine Talisman Sect's cultivation tradition from his home world.

These correspond to the three paths: magic power, physical body, and soul.

He has cultivated his magical power and divine soul to the level equivalent to the perfect completion of the ninth stage of the Golden Core.

However, his physical body only reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Golden Witch.

It's still a bit short of perfection.

The reason he was so short-lived was that he didn't have many spirit stones left, not even enough to support his physical cultivation to the peak of the Golden Witch realm.

"It seems I have no choice but to stay in seclusion."

Lu Qing sighed and then stood up.

"Ah Qing, have you finished your cultivation?"

Lu Qing's movement immediately woke up Xiao Li, who was cultivating on the other side.

"Well, that's a temporary halt. Xiao Li, how's your cultivation going?"

"It's alright. I feel that after a while, I might be able to start cultivating the second transformation of the True Dragon Nine Transformations," Xiao Li said happily.

"You've grasped the second transformation so quickly?" Lu Qing was somewhat surprised. "It seems that the technique that senior gave you back then was indeed very suitable for you."

"That's right, I'm not that stinky snake, cultivating so slowly." The little guy proudly raised his head.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, but did not refute.

Xiao Li's comprehension is indeed far superior to that of the Five Elements.

You should know that Wu Xing, that simpleton, still hasn't fully mastered the first transformation.

"Do you need to go into seclusion for a while longer?"

Lu Qing originally planned to leave seclusion immediately, but if Xiao Li reached a critical moment in her cultivation, then there was no need to rush.

However, after spending so many years together, Xiao Li and he had developed a deep understanding of each other.

Hearing Lu Qing say this, he immediately understood: "What, Qing, do you want to go out?"

"Well, we don't have many spirit stones left. I plan to go out and see if I can get some more," Lu Qing replied truthfully.

"Go out and earn spirit stones?" Xiao Li's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "Great! Let's hurry up and go out. Anyway, if I gain any insights, I can cultivate in the Fire Cauldron. Earning spirit stones is the most important thing."

The little guy knew that Lu Qing's cultivation now consumed an extreme amount of spirit stones.

It had already witnessed this during its ten years of seclusion.

The speed at which it consumed spirit stones was truly alarming.

Without the aid of spirit stones, Lu Qing's cultivation would probably slow down.

Therefore, earning spirit stones is still very important.

Moreover, having already awakened its treasure-hunting instincts, it is also extremely interested in earning spirit stones.

"Alright, let's leave now."

Lu Qing thought about it for a moment, and thought it was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.
