In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 423 The Primordial Golden Core is Formed! Two Golden Cores! (4.2K)

When Tai Baiji was captured by Ruan Pingcui, the Yan Sha Sect withdrew in an orderly manner under the leadership of Ye Muyu.

During the retreat, the Holy Blood Sacrifice Array set up by the cult was also completely moved.

After Su Yuan established contact with Ye Muyu using the communication headset, the latter summoned Su Yuan to her location with a single command.

Inside the altar deep within a mountain cave, Ye Muyu looked at the young man before her and smiled:
"Plans really can't keep up with changes. As soon as the Yan Sha Sect withdrew, its leader Yan He became a favorite of the Governor of Nan Cang."

"In this way, the Flame Fiend Sect can also benefit and expand rapidly."

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"That's right, but we only have three days left to develop our strategy."

A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Muyu's beautiful eyes.

Su Yuan briefly recounted how Nan Cang was about to devour the Cold Plum World, and then said:

"Master Ye, I urgently need your help. We must kill the two Nascent Soul cultivators within three days, otherwise this calamity affecting hundreds of millions of people will be unstoppable."

Ye Muyu pondered for a moment, then replied:
"I'm fine on my end. With Ruan Pingcui's combat strength and the influence of the Yan Sha Sect, it's possible to snipe two Nascent Soul cultivators within three days."

"However, all our actions are under the supervision of Nan Cang. Even if you can temporarily shield the senses of a Nascent Soul cultivator when you are targeting them, you can't shield them forever."

"Therefore, we need to launch a well-justified operation, such as a conflict with a major power during the expansion of the Flame Fiend Cult."

"Draw out the opponent's Nascent Soul Ancestor during the conflict, and then kill him before Nan Cang can react."

Upon hearing Ye Muyu's detailed plan, Su Yuan nodded slightly, gaining even more confidence in the actions to be taken over the next three days.

After saying goodbye, he prepared to leave, aiming to condense his inner core within three days.

But just before he was summoned away, he suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, is Chi Le'an also participating in the year-end exam to conquer the Cold Plum World?"

Ye Muyu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes."

Su Yuan's gaze shifted, and he chuckled, saying:

"Professor Ye, how about we make a deal?"

"Anyway, Yanhe's identity is only temporary, and the Yansha Sect cannot maintain it forever."

"In that case, why not prepare early and have Chi Le'an develop more followers of the Yuan Sect within the Yan Sha Sect?"

"If possible, in the next expansion operation, how about incorporating the members of those demonic sects that are to be swallowed into the Yuan Sect, thus substituting one thing for another?"

Ye Muyu blinked, smiled, and shook her head, saying:

"I don't know how your brain works, you always come up with some novel ideas... But on this matter, I agree with you."

"If things go smoothly, the Cold Plum World will become Senior Brother Taibai's territory. If the Yuan Sect can help unify all the demonic sect forces in this region, it will be a win-win situation."

Su Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy.

Ye Muyu: "But you must be careful. The development of the Yuan Sect is to make the Hanmei World better, not worse. Don't let it become a cancer in this great world."

Su Yuan made his guarantee without hesitation:
"Don't worry, Instructor Ye. Yuan Sect is a legitimate and righteous sect that will only bring prosperity to the Cold Plum World."

Haha, I believe you.

As a mentor in the field of astronomy, what I just said was not only a reminder, but also a prophecy.

However, Ye Muyu still wore a warm and welcoming smile and nodded:

"Well, I believe you."

……

Upon returning to his residence in Xianghan Mansion, Su Yuan officially began his seclusion.

He personally entered the storage treasure containing the two secret realms and collected a large amount of Primordial Essence.

Immediately, he detached himself from the storage magic treasure and began refining these primordial essences at lightning speed.

During this training session, Chen Nuoyi and Long Bai were both by his side, so the title of Dragon Prince gave Su Yuan a 380% training bonus!
Furthermore, the spiritual power of the Golden Core transformed from the corrupted Golden Core could also help Su Yuan accelerate the refining of the Primordial Essence, making his refining efficiency reach a terrifying level.

In just twelve hours, the Primordial Essence was refined, completing all the preliminary preparations for condensing the Inner Core.

Immediately afterwards, under the protection of Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyya, Mo Tisi, Long Bai and others, Su Yuan officially began his attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

The process of condensing the golden elixir is extremely fast.

Similar to alchemy, the trouble lies in the initial processing of medicinal materials and the control of the heat, while the pill is formed in an instant.

In an instant, success is success! Failure is failure!
In ancient times, when cultivators tried to condense their inner core, the failure rate was over 50%.

While failure is not fatal, it requires a long period of accumulation before attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm again. This is why many cultivators go into seclusion for months or even years when they break through to a higher realm.

But Su Yuan is different. He has the support of a modern cultivation system and has not taken any detours. His success rate in forming his core is over 70%.

With the assistance of the divine-level Senluo spiritual root, and the profound accumulation generated by continuously absorbing the demonic energy of Wang Zuo Zhi during the Foundation Establishment stage, the success rate of Core Formation is as high as 90%.

In addition, the three hundred points of luck that Su Yuan secretly added to himself filled the last 10% chance of failure!

Ten hours later.

Within Su Yuan's dantian, the vast spiritual power, as boundless as the ocean, had been condensed to a near-solid state.

The Dao foundation, which was originally a round heaven and a square earth, had now become spherical, constantly contracting inward, compressing and refining the spiritual liquid inside.

The Senluo Spiritual Root, which was already rooted in the Dao Foundation, condensed into a flesh-pink seed in the very center of the sphere, and it seemed that a new life was being nurtured within the seed.

With everything prepared, Su Yuan had a thought and his divine sense suddenly poured into his Dao Foundation.

He focused all his energy on micro-manipulation, causing his Dao Foundation to expand and contract violently in turn. After repeating this nine times, his Dao Foundation completely shrank into a golden elixir the size of an infant's fist.

The precious pill was spinning smoothly within the dantian, pure and flawless, occasionally emitting specks of solid spiritual energy with a grayish glow.

That is the Primordial Spiritual Power with the characteristics of the Primordial Dao!
Golden Core Realm, achieved!

After breaking through to the next realm, an indescribable hunger surged from every cell in Su Yuan's dantian.

Without hesitation, he took out the spirit stone that Long Bai had given him, which contained a large amount of pure spiritual energy and was classified as 'top grade' in ancient times, and began to absorb its power.

As one top-grade spirit stone after another was consumed, more and more solid spiritual energy formed around the Primordial Golden Core, resembling countless stars that formed a star ring around the Golden Core.

After his hunger was satisfied, Su Yuan made a preliminary estimate that not only was the quality of his spiritual power far superior to before, but the total amount of spiritual power was also more than ten times that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

If you include the corrupted golden elixir, there will only be more.

At this moment, the corrupted golden core, which had been pushed aside during the core formation process, came closer and attracted the primordial golden core. They swirled around each other without colliding.

Double Golden Elixir.

"Internal alchemy cultivation reaches the first level of the Golden Core stage, and external alchemy cultivation reaches the second level of the Golden Core stage."

Su Yuan murmured with some emotion:

"Even disregarding any external cheats, just comparing cultivation levels, my single Golden Core is comparable to a substandard Golden Core cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

"The combination of two Golden Cores surpasses even the peak of the Golden Core stage, comparable to the late-stage Golden Core within the Immortal Official system. It is equivalent to a mid-stage Golden Core prodigy who has emerged from one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects and has the opportunity to take the doctoral entrance exam."

"There are truly clear levels among the Golden Core cultivators, and I stand at the very top of the pyramid."

"And if we take all the advantages into account, even if I can't beat Instructor Ye, I can still fight him for a hundred rounds without losing." After some calculations, Su Yuan suddenly realized that he had really become very, very strong.

The Chen family of Taihua City was no longer a threat to him.

He could stage a scene like the Dragon King returning at any time, beat up Grandpa Chen, and take back the family property that belongs to Chen Nuoyi.

Hehe... I can't even imagine how awesome that would be.

However, after indulging in a little daydream, Su Yuan quickly realized that the Chen family was no longer a serious matter.

His real priorities are resisting the immeasurable tribulations and immortal tribulations in the future, and preventing the destruction of the Cold Plum World in the present.

"Hehe, they say that when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, but in some situations, I'm already the tallest one."

"With greater strength comes greater responsibility and crisis."

Thinking of this, Su Yuan, who had become slightly arrogant due to the breakthrough, quickly returned to his normal mindset.

He is still far from being able to shoulder those heavy responsibilities.

After consolidating his cultivation for a while, Su Yuan ended his cultivation and opened his eyes to look around.

Chen Nuoyi and Long Bai were sitting on either side of him, quietly watching him.

Seeing someone important as soon as he opened his eyes immediately lifted Su Yuan's spirits.

He gazed at the beautiful blue-haired girl before him and said confidently:
"Once the Crown of Corruption is repaired, Noyi, you can also quickly advance to the Golden Core stage."

"It's not just you; the number of Golden Core cultivators in the Yuan Sect will experience an explosive growth. We will become a true top 100 demonic sect, or even higher."

Chen Nuoyi smiled, not overly excited, and instead tapped Su Yuan's chest, saying:

"You should take care of yourself first. As someone who cultivates the Primordial Dao, your future path will be much more dangerous than ours. You are the one who needs to become stronger the most."

Su Yuan scratched his head and laughed:
"These things can't be rushed."

Indeed, there's no need to rush, because Su Yuan isn't a mediocre cultivator like Blood Soul True Monarch who's good from start to finish.

When he makes progress in the future, he will not only need the infusion of spiritual power, but also need to continuously refine the Primordial Essence and other demonic essences.

Without the protection of the essence of the Great Dao, although his cultivation would not be completely halted, it would still cause him to go from being an unparalleled genius to becoming just an ordinary person.

Therefore, having the crown of corruption alone is not enough.

Fortunately, with the entire Blue Star Federation as his backing, he doesn't need to worry about the Great Dao Essence for the time being.

"Twenty-four hours have passed. Sect Master Ruan should have recovered by now."

As Su Yuan spoke, he activated the Moon Tribulation Pearl on his wrist.

The next second, a seductive figure appeared in the open space in front of the room; it was Ruan Pingcui.

At this moment, she was wearing relatively conservative clothing, and her beautiful eyes no longer held the explicit charm they usually had, but instead carried a touch of heroism.

After observing Su Yuan's suddenly surging aura, Ruan Pingcui's expression softened slightly:
"With such a powerful ally as you, whose background is unfathomable, I have much more confidence in the upcoming operations."

"On this day, besides healing my wounds, I also thought of a very suitable target to strike... the Jia family of Ronghan Mansion, which is adjacent to Xianghan Mansion."

"Jia's family?"

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback and asked curiously:

"Is there anything special about the Jia family?"

Ruan Pingcui explained:

“There are three advantages to taking action against the Jia family.”

"First, the Jia family patriarch is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making him one of the weaker veteran Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Secondly, Ronghan Prefecture is located in the southwest, which is the farthest from the capital. At the same time, Nancang has the weakest control over this area, so it will be difficult for him to detect when we take action against the Jia family."

"Third, the Jia family is no good. They have a firm grip on the official system of Ronghan Prefecture. From the prefect to the judge, they are all their people. The people live in misery under the rule of the Jia family."

"Of course, I personally don't care about the third point, but I think you few seem to be righteous cultivators who would care more about it."

Su Yuanyi said sternly, "If we remove the 'seems,' we are righteous cultivators."

Ruan Pingcui: "..."

Do righteous cultivators specifically emphasize that they are righteous?

The attempt to cover it up only makes it more obvious, and the smell is so strong!

Su Yuan continued:

"I will inform Instructor Ye as soon as possible to have the Yan Sha Sect disciples clash with the Jia family of Rong Han Mansion."

Ruan Pingcui: "Professor Ye?"

Su Yuan: "That's my master's wife, the one you saw when you kidnapped my master last time."

Ruan Pingcui suddenly realized and had no objection to it.

Ronghan Prefecture and Xianghan Prefecture are adjacent to each other, and their forces often come into contact.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Yan Sha Sect disciples entered Rong Han Mansion and clashed with the spoiled sons of the Jia family.

From Nan Cang's perspective, since Yan He has joined their side, Yan Sha Sect should be considered an ally, and they shouldn't doubt that there's something wrong with this conflict.

Even if he noticed it, it wouldn't matter, since he didn't know that Su Yuan wanted to repair the crown of corruption.

Without this premise, Nan Cang could never have deduced that Su Yuan would attack a Nascent Soul expert at this critical juncture.

This is something that didn't make any sense in the first place, so how can Nan Cang possibly defend against it?

Under the manipulation of Su Yuan and other scheming individuals, the conflict between the Yan Sha Sect disciples and the spoiled brats of the Jia family intensified.

This quickly led to a series of dramatic scenarios, such as "beating the young brings in the old, beating the old brings in the even older," and so on.

After a fight and the call for reinforcements, the situation escalated from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, and then from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage.

Ultimately, the situation successfully alerted the Jia family patriarch and Ye Muyu, the acting leader of the Yansha Sect.

Inside Ronghan Mansion, Ye Muyu was surrounded by a group of Yansha Sect disciples, blocking the entrance to the Jia family's residence.

Inside the Jia family compound stood a group of richly dressed young men and women, staring indignantly at the person outside the door.

The head of the Jia family was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, who was none other than the Jia family patriarch, Jia Fugui.

At this moment, he was staring at Ye Muyu with a headache on his face. Being well-informed, he had already learned about what had happened in the neighboring mansion two days ago and knew that the Yan Sha Sect was not to be trifled with.

However, for the sake of the reputation of the Nascent Soul Clan, Jia Fugui could not back down and could only coldly shout:
"You members of the Yansha Sect are deliberately causing trouble and your ambition to seize the territory of my Jia family is obvious."

"Considering that this is your first offense, I can give you a chance to apologize. After making amends, leave quickly, and everything that happened before will be forgiven."

Ye Muyu listened attentively, then smiled and said:

“My husband is a favorite of the Governor-General of the South. How many Nascent Soul experts does your Jia family have? How dare you speak to me like that?”

"I think the Jia family is lovesick."
