Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

The fifth path is the Returning Void Eye. Within the Dharma Domain, the flow of the Five Elements in all things is visible, allowing one to see through most illusions and disguises.

Lin Zhao had learned a secret technique for attacking with divine sense when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage—later he combined it with sword intent to create a new spell, the Sword Eye of Illusion, which is specifically designed to cut through the weaknesses of the soul and is stronger than the original.

Now he can merge the Returning Void Dharma Eye and the Breaking Illusion Sword Eye into another divine power.

The eye that dispels delusion.

In addition to the five Core Formation Divine Abilities mentioned earlier, the cultivation technique also contains two Nascent Soul level Great Divine Abilities.

First is the Returning Void Battle Body. It can mobilize the origin of the five elements, temporarily merging the physical body and the Dharma body, transforming into a Returning Void Battle Body hundreds or even thousands of feet in size, with every move carrying the power of heaven and earth.

They can also survive briefly in the void, instantly maximizing their combat power.

Secondly, there is the Gate of Return to Nothingness. This can be used to forcibly tear through space for long-distance teleportation, open temporary small spatial channels, or create small spatial rifts for attacks.

This involves the application of spatial power.

Lin Zhao carefully read through the entire technique and could only say that it truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier fourth-order technique.

Even ordinary sect disciples without his foundation, if they cultivate this technique to the Core Formation stage and combine these supernatural abilities and spells, their strength will far surpass that of their peers.

Not to mention the spells he learned during his foundation-building stage—all of them could be further improved and advanced into true supernatural powers.

Furthermore, the forbidden techniques Five Emperor Seals and Returning to the Void Furnace can now be used at will.

Even with his deep foundation and numerous trump cards, these supernatural powers and spells still greatly enhanced his strength.

Lin Zhao also secretly realized that he should not underestimate the cultivators of the world.

The sect elders who created these techniques and supernatural abilities back then were probably not much weaker than me.

However, the greater the benefits of this technique, the greater the cost.

The Five Elements Return to Nothingness True Technique has extremely demanding requirements for practitioners.

The difficulty of entering this stage is incredibly high; the Foundation Establishment stage requires an extremely strong physical body, while the Core Formation stage requires a divine sense far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The Nascent Soul stage also involves the extinction of the soul; historically, none of the seven Nascent Soul cultivators met a peaceful end.

Lin Zhao had thought it through beforehand: if he really couldn't continue practicing, or if he felt something was wrong, he would stop at the peak of the sixth level of Core Formation.

If a sect possesses the Heavenly True Water, it can simply abandon its cultivation and start over. Even if one only experiences the first half of a cultivation technique that can lead directly to the Nascent Soul stage, the insights gained are invaluable.

But now, he is truly unwilling to accept it.

Now that he has awakened the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, he is quite confident that he can successfully navigate this path with this supernatural power.

However, this confidence is still only theoretical. Whether it can actually be done, he still needs to ask one person—True Lord Qingyuan.

He planned to wait until True Lord Qingyuan had some free time before personally seeking his advice.

Lin Zhao carefully put away the jade slip containing the cultivation technique, stood up from the jade platform, and went to the platform outside the cave.

The branches and leaves of the Azure Jade Tree swayed gently in the night breeze, while the Silver Leaf Grass in the direction of the Star Gazing Platform shimmered with a faint silver light.

He stood in the Qingyu Pavilion, gazing at the surging sea of ​​clouds in the distance. The sea of ​​clouds was gilded with a layer of silver light by the moonlight, making it more tranquil and vast than during the day.

Occasionally, a spirit crane from the sect would fly through the clouds, its wings carrying wisps of spiritual light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

He achieved the Core Formation at the age of seventy, but his path of cultivation is still very long.

Lin Zhao's Core Formation banquet was not ostentatious, but everyone who could come did.

The location was chosen on the platform at the entrance of the cave, above which stood the third-tier green-patterned jade tree, its canopy spreading out like a large umbrella, beyond which lay the sea of ​​clouds.

According to normal etiquette, the banquet should be held inside the cave dwelling, and it would be somewhat impolite to place it outside the door, but Lin Zhao still did so.

Deep within his cave dwelling, the Luo Tian Palace was nurtured by spiritual veins. Although the aura of this fourth-grade high-level magic weapon was locked away by layers of array restrictions,

But Lin Zhao didn't want to take any risks.

He wouldn't gamble on even the slightest possibility of a leak; he didn't want any accidents to happen.

Fortunately, none of the people who were able to come paid attention to this.

Among those who came was his good friend Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan came with his grandfather. The old man was in the late stage of Core Formation, tall and thin, wearing a yellow robe. Standing next to him, Xu Chuan appeared much more composed.

But when he saw Lin Zhao, he still winked and made faces at her. The old man naturally noticed, but didn't say much.

Yan Chiheng brought his master, Master Gufeng.

Master Gufeng, in the mid-stage of Core Formation, had his hair casually tied up, showing a somewhat unconventional manner. When he entered, the two were still bickering.

Master Gufeng said that Yan Chiheng's thunder magic had regressed, while Yan Chiheng said that his master cheated when he lost to him in a drinking contest last time. The two of them went back and forth.

Fang Yue came alone again. He was used to being alone and didn't think anything of it.

After entering, he nodded to Lin Zhao, found a seat, and sat down. He hadn't changed much over the years.

Besides them, there were three other disciples of the sect.

Senior Sister Nianwei, Senior Brother Zhibai, and Senior Brother Mingjing, the three true disciples, all brought some family members and younger relatives with them.

Senior Sister Nianwei had the highest cultivation level among the three, at the mid-stage of Core Formation. Zhibai and Mingjing were both at the early stage of Core Formation. The two senior brothers didn't talk much. After entering, they cupped their hands to Lin Zhao and found a seat.

Senior Sister Nianwei was different. When she came in, she glanced around, her gaze lingering on the noisy Master Gufeng for a moment, and then she smiled.

Qin Tianjun and Xia Jin, who entered the secret realm together before, have also formed their cores in the past few years, but they are both in seclusion to consolidate their cultivation.

Pei Yue was busy with his Luo Tian Chong Di outside, and I heard that he had also successfully formed his Golden Core. All three of them were top-grade Golden Core cultivators, truly outstanding talents.

The Core Formation cultivators present today all have their own backgrounds.

Needless to say, the three disciples have high potential and are expected to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

As far as Lin Zhao knew, more than half of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the sect were true disciples when they were young.

What's remarkable is that none of the three are arrogant and they get along well with everyone.

Especially Senior Sister Nianwei, who started drinking with Master Gufeng after only a few words.

Master Gufeng slammed his fist on the table louder than anyone else, and Senior Sister Nianwei's clear laughter enlivened the atmosphere of the entire banquet, turning what was originally a somewhat reserved banquet into a lively one.

Xu Chuan's grandfather held a wine glass, watching the young people fool around with a smile, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones with his senior brother Zhi Bai beside him, clearly they had known each other for a long time.

Everyone brought some congratulatory gifts. Lin Zhao prepared thirty kinds of second-tier spiritual fruits and several third-tier spiritual fruits through the sect's affairs hall.

These third-tier spiritual fruits were a gift from the Luo family of the secret realm to him. Anyone with eyes can see that Lin Zhao has a bright future ahead of him.

The Luo family has ruled the secret realm for tens of thousands of years, and their foundation is still intact; they still possess some third-tier treasures.

They gave away three third-tier magic treasures, three third-tier spiritual items, and six kinds of third-tier spiritual fruits and plants, totaling twelve third-tier treasures.

Although most of them are ordinary third-tier treasures, this is still a significant expenditure.

Some of the guests secretly marveled at Lin Zhao's profound knowledge and abilities.

This display doesn't seem like that of a newly formed Core Formation cultivator. There might be some veteran Core Formation cultivators, but they wouldn't be willing to show off like this.
