Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 103 Immortal Gold Nature

"Exactly."

Niu Yi smiled and nodded, saying:
"As the Earth God sees, although I have survived this thunder tribulation, my current condition is not very good. I can only meet with the Earth God."

"I still need to cultivate here for a few more years. I'll have to ask the Earth God to seal off this area. I'll also have to ask the Earth God and Niu Li to explain the situation of my Golden Gauze Mountain."

The Earth God was startled when he heard this, then nodded slowly with a serious expression and said:
"Don't worry, I'm here so no one can disturb you. I'll also explain everything about Jindou Mountain!"

Niu Yi nodded, and his figure flashed and turned into a golden round bead-like soul. In that soul, one seemed to be able to see the figure of a precious bull.

Niu Yi's soul flashed and flew straight into the charred hill.

When the God of Land saw Niu Yi's soul flying away, he stomped the ground lightly with the wooden stick in his hand. With a wave of rapid spread, streams of earth energy in the veins of the earth slowly seeped out, trying to repair the surroundings.

However, what surprised the Earth God was that the earth energy in the earth veins seemed to have been extracted, and was much less than before.

As soon as Niu Yi's soul entered the body that was on the verge of destruction, he sensed the vitality in the body that was like a weak flame.

In that thunder tribulation, the last bolt of lightning that descended was truly terrifying.

Even though his three magic weapons weakened the power of the heavenly thunder layer by layer and greatly reduced its might, it still almost destroyed his body in the end.

If he had not used the earth-moving avenue he had comprehended at the last moment to draw on the power of the earth veins and protect his last chance of survival, his body would have really turned completely into a pile of charcoal.

Fortunately, he finally managed to handle it.

Golden light flickered around Niu Yi's soul, and the faint flame of life began to rise slowly. His already tattered body actually had a little golden light and magic power appearing.

These golden magical powers exuded an immortal aura, and a furnace burning with flames slowly emerged in Niu Yi's body.

Niu Yi looked at this scene and couldn't help but reveal a deep smile in his eyes.

After all, before the last thunderbolt fell, he completely switched to practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art. Although he had only glimpsed the basics, the magical power of the Golden Elixir Method, that is, the immortality of the soul and the infinite resurrection of the body, had already been revealed.

His physical body was now no different from being completely destroyed, but the thunderbolt that struck him also ignited a flame in the furnace of the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

His body is now truly like a cauldron, and he treats his body as a great medicine to be refined. He has successfully stepped into the door of the Golden Elixir Avenue. Without destruction, there is no construction. Now he can practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art and completely refine his body into the "Immortal Golden Body".

By then, he might be able to use this opportunity to step into the realm of the demon king in one fell swoop!
After a while, I saw that in the tiankeng, the spiritual energy around it was constantly converging towards the charred hill. Together with the remaining lightning magma around it, it also slowly flowed towards the charred hill.
In the clouds, an old man in a white robe holding a whisk was standing on the cloud, looking at the charred hill below, nodding slightly as if he was somewhat relieved.

This old man was actually Niu Yi's master, Patriarch Bodhi.

Niu Yi was in the tiankeng and was unaware of the appearance of his master. He was concentrating on his own cultivation at the moment.

The furnace in his body seemed to be refining everything remaining in his body into a point of immortal gold, and this immortal gold that looked like a point of golden light was the key to the "immortal golden body".

This immortal golden nature is the source of everything in his new body.

Niu Yi practiced from day to night, but this immortal golden nature seemed to have not changed at all. He knew that this would take a long time, so he was not in a hurry.

But what surprised him was that he seemed to be able to enter the spiritual state of mind tonight.

Niu Yi did not hesitate and directly chose to enter the Lingtai state of mind.

As soon as Niu Yi appeared in the Lingtai mind state, he found himself in the library of the Lingtai mind state. Outside, the bright moonlight and the starry sky remained unchanged as if it had never changed. Niu Yi looked down and found that he was not in the form of a spirit, but in his own physical body.

"This spiritual state of mind is really hard to understand. Is it a dream, or..."

Niu Yi stood up slowly with emotion and walked straight towards the central hall. In just a moment, he arrived at the hall.

He looked at the ancestral tablet in front of him, took out three incense sticks from the incense box beside him, lit them, and slowly walked to the ancestral tablet and inserted them into the incense burner on the table.

Then Niu Yi took two steps back and bowed respectfully towards the tablet of the ancestor. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the kind voice of the ancestor.

"Disciple Guangyi, you have now entered the Golden Core Path. You should cultivate with peace of mind."

"Come back here to find me in three years."

Niu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then he bowed to the ancestor's tablet again as a disciple.

"Disciple, obey."

"The Earth God means that our leader is in seclusion and has no return date?"

Niu Li frowned slightly as he looked at the Earth God in front of him.

"That's right," the Earth God nodded. "I know you're worried, but you can rest assured that your leader is fine. He must have explained everything to you before he left."

Niu Li turned his head and looked at the two little bull spirits Niu Ping and Niu Feng, then slowly nodded to the Earth God.

"I understand. I will naturally guard Jindou Mountain and wait for the leader to return."

The God of Land of Jindou Mountain smiled and nodded, then quickly disappeared in front of the three monsters.

Niu Feng looked at Niu Li with a worried look on his face and said:
"Boss Niu Li, the leader should be alright, right? We heard the thunderclaps from Tiger Roar Mountain a while ago, and when the leader left, he said..."

Niu Li shook his head and said:

"The Earth God of Jindou Mountain has a close relationship with the leader and is someone the leader trusts. Naturally, he wouldn't deceive us. I think the leader must be in seclusion right now."

"We are of limited ability and cannot help the leader much. All we can do now is to protect Jindou Mountain and wait for the leader to return."

"Yes! Boss Niu Li!"

Niu Yi continued to practice in the tiankeng created by the thunder. Two years had passed, and the charred hill seemed to have completely transformed into a small black mountain standing at the bottom of the tiankeng. No one knew what it looked like.

The two hundred miles of land that was destroyed by the aftermath of the thunder catastrophe is now barren, but Niu Yi and the Earth God are not worried.

The power of the earth is great. One day, when the remaining power of the thunder tribulation completely dissipates, this place will be revitalized.

Moreover, with Niu Yi here, this time will definitely be brought forward much more.

And at this time, he also understood why the master asked him to go again in three years. With another year, he should be able to completely refine the 'Immortal Golden Body' that was broken and then rebuilt!
