Chapter 462: Chapter 462: The Gap (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Inside the Sea Covering Hall.

After paying their respects, Qingshi Zen Master and the others tactfully took their leave, giving space to the mentor and his three disciples.

"Tell me... how has the Xuanhai Sect fared in the recent decades?"

Zhong Shenxiu looked at his three students and casually asked.

When he originally disseminated the Qi Collection Method here, he did not impart the Outer Elixir Method on purpose; naturally, he had his own selfish reasons, which was to cultivate orthodox Golden Core Practitioners.

Then, compare them with those cultivating the Outer Elixir Primordial Spirit.

By now, just within the Xuanhai Sect, there were already three Golden Cores; the Southern Wilderness would only have more, showing that the seeds sown back then were about to bear fruit.

’As for the Outer Elixir Method in Da Jing... owing to the Ten Thousand Mountains standing in between, the exchange is not smooth. What’s more crucial is that, even if communication were possible, sects would surely cherish their secrets, so it may take hundreds of years before it can spread widely.’

Da Jing’s widespread adoption of the technique back then was entirely because Zhong Shenxiu had deceived them.

Those Loose Cultivators had to work hard to spread it, or their very lives were at risk.

But that wasn’t the case in the Southern Wilderness.

Even if a sect were lucky to obtain it, they would treat it as a sect Secret Technique and never disclose it.

Indeed, the Xuanhai Sect was a lesson from the past.

Zhong Shenxiu already knew about when the Qi Collection Method was discovered, which led to many sects pressing in, forcing the Xuanhai Sect to make it public.

Therefore, for a long time to come, the orthodox Golden Core Method would still be the mainstream in the Southern Wilderness.

Moreover, due to the widespread dissemination of the Qi Collection Method, the quantity and quality of Golden Core Ancestors were likely to improve.

’It might be worth experimenting again with the path of the Ancient Primordial Spirit Technique...’

’Given the level of isolation from information in the Southern Wilderness and Da Jing, those Cultivators will probably also need a long time to discover... that the Creation Ancestor has hidden himself in the Southern Wilderness. No, it should be said he originates from the Southern Wilderness...’

Zhong Shenxiu had never revealed his origins or background in Da Jing.

Unless Yu Tongzi was captured, no one would know he came from the Southern Wilderness.

Even in the Southern Wilderness, most Cultivators only knew that there once was an ancestor in the Xuanhai Sect who then disappeared without a trace.

The affairs of the Xuanhai Sect have always been led by Zhu Long’er and others.

’But even if it’s discovered... it’s not a big deal...’

’A regular Refining Nine Revolutions old monster would probably not be a match for me... And even if they come at me with Ancient Spiritual Treasures like the Ancient Seven Flames Flag... if I can’t beat them, I can still run. If I can’t escape, at most I’ll lose one life, but I still have eight more...’

Zhong Shenxiu was a careful person and had already considered his escape plans.

While passing by the Ten Thousand Mountains, he had set up several revival points with the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power...

’But even so, it’s better to not die if possible...’

’Whether the flesh Divine Skills can revive the Primordial Pill, I do not have much confidence...’

The Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power, despite its defiance of the heavens, also had significant flaws, being restrained by status level.

For instance, when Shenxiu was at the Divine Power Level, if he were suppressed by a Primordial Pill Master, he wouldn’t be able to revive.

It’s not certain that the ancient Spiritual Treasures of this realm have the Primordial Spirit status level of the Seven Luminaries Heaven.

But... his own flesh Divine Skills had not yet been elevated to the Primordial Pill Level!

’With my own status level’s blessing, this Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power should be able to revive practitioners at the Primordial Pill Level... Just not the Primordial Spirit...’

After all, the last time he activated the Stone Buddha Unbreakable Divine Power, Zhong Shenxiu felt like his flesh Divine Skills had also experienced a surge in power.

This indicated that, even though the flesh Divine Skills had not incorporated the Primordial Pill, there must have been some enhancement.

’In any case, it’s still better not to take risks...’

’These three major flesh Divine Skills should also be addressed... Taking the chance when achieving the Primordial Spirit...’

As Zhong Shenxiu was pondering, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.

"Has the Ancestor arrived?"

"We want to see the Ancestor!"

...

Despite being quite far away, to Zhong Shenxiu, it sounded as if it was right by his ear: "What has happened?"

Zhu Long’er and Zhu Ling’er exchanged a glance, both kneeling down. Zhu Ling’er said, "It’s my family members, who have always admired the Ancestor’s heavenly appearance. Upon hearing that the Ancestor had arrived, they probably wanted to get close for a moment..."

In reality, they probably also wanted to seek some benefits.

Zhu Ling’er felt ashamed, realizing that she usually indulged those shameless people too much.

"Haha... no worries, they’re quite lively," Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily and waved his hand. "After all, the path of cultivation is a hard one. They’re happy now, but with wild hearts, they won’t break through their current realm and will have short lives. After a hundred years, they probably won’t be seen anymore..."

In fact, as for whether the Xuanhai Sect would be gradually eroded away or not, he really didn’t care.

Zhu Ling’er looked both joyful and sorrowful, feeling as if she might have grasped something, yet as if she had not grasped anything at all.

"Long’er, you’ve achieved great success with your Golden Core, truly living up to your teacher’s expectations..."

Zhong Shenxiu didn’t bother with the things outside, his gaze sweeping over the three students, lingering most on Zhu Long’er and Liu Wugen.

"And Wugen, with your Gang Qi fully cultivated and a robust foundation, forming a top-grade pill is within reach..."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled and said, "During this journey outside, I did manage to obtain some heaven and earth treasures, many of which can aid in Core Formation. In time, I will give you further guidance, and a top-grade Golden Core is possible!"

Although this Liu Wugen didn’t have Zhu Long’er’s fate, he had a resolute character and was also a material suitable for cultivation.

As for Zhu Ling’er, the eldest disciple sister, over the years, the gap had gradually widened.

She practiced first-rate cultivation techniques, yet her Gang Qi had not fully matured.

Zhong Shenxiu couldn’t be bothered with her.

’This foolish student... might as well... be let go...’

...

After some affectionate teacher-student interaction, Zhu Ling’er and Zhu Long’er were driven out.

Zhong Shenxiu gave a few pointers to Liu Wugen and bestowed several treasures upon him, then let Liu Wugen begin trying to unite the dragon and tiger and to form his Golden Core.

As he watched over, his expression suddenly changed, and he took out a Long-distance Communication Talisman from his bosom.

There were already four extinguished lights on it.

’This means... Out of the seven flying swords I sent out, four of their inheritors have already died... Moreover, they died from unsuccessfully attempting to force through a bottleneck, leading to demonic possession...’

After all, these were cultivation techniques he had deduced himself, and some deviated from the correct path, filled with errors.

Luckily, with this reference, he would not take that same wrong path again.

Besides that, there was a message left by Cui Yingying about the matters concerning Xu Guo.

’Xu Guo has already revealed his Yin God Realm... Is he hiding now?’

Zhong Shenxiu was actually quite pleased with this.

With this living proof, probably more cultivators coveting his Primordial Spirit inheritance would emerge.

Those forty-nine lines of inheritance, in fact, all had his surveillance and secret control.

With such data, it should be considered sufficient.

...

Nine days later.

Above the Xuanhai Sect.

The Heaven and Earth’s vital energy fluctuated, as if sucked into a funnel, being swallowed by the Sea Covering Hall.

This was an external sign of Golden Core Formation!

"It seems that our brother Wugen will be able to successfully form a top-grade Golden Core," said Zhu Long’er, upon witnessing this scene.

Zhu Ling’er appeared to be in a daze.

Zhu Long’er exclaimed, "Sister, do you still not realize? For us cultivators, our cultivation is the foundation! You’re too distracted, and have already fallen out of favor with the teacher. If you remain obsessed and unenlightened, I’m afraid the Great Dao will be beyond your reach..."

"I..." Zhu Ling’er felt deep regret in her heart. If she had also dedicated herself to cultivation as Liu Wugen did, perhaps today it would have been her forming the Golden Core?
