Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits-Chapter 240 True Lord Golden Spirit
Inside the Metal Immortal Chart, no vegetation grew, only various Metal Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were being nurtured, including the top-tier Metal Attribute Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, Geng Metal.
Just adding a trace of Geng Metal to a Flying Sword Magical Treasure can enhance its sharpness significantly. Naturally, this treasure was highly sought after by top Sword Cultivators and had either been mined out or fallen into the hands of top cultivators.
Zhao Yu had not found anyone selling or trading Geng Metal in both the Great Qian Empire and the Blue Sky Sea, two Cultivation Holy Lands.
One of the capabilities of that Metal Immortal Chart was that as long as Metal Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were continuously inserted, it would nurture rare Metal Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like Geng Metal and Taibai Fine Gold inside the Immortal Chart.
This Immortal Chart was an incredibly heaven-defying treasure for cultivators practicing Metal Attribute Cultivation Techniques, as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like Geng Metal and Taibai Fine Gold could not even be bought with Spirit Stones.
As long as a large number of Metal Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were continuously inserted, Geng Metal could be condensed within this Immortal Chart.
"This Metal Immortal Chart will be tremendously useful when I refine treasures like Flying Swords and Spirit Spears. However, if I want to enhance my strength for the time being, I should let the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor devour this corpse!"
Zhao Yu took out the corpse of a Body Refinement Divinity Transformation Cultivator and threw it in front of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor opened its huge jaws wide and ferociously bit off a section of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator's finger, swallowing it into its belly.
Zhao Yu then activated the Dao Fruit of Devouring, helping the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor begin refining the skeleton and elevating the Cultivation Level of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.
Ten days later, an Escape Light flew from afar, revealing its form—it was True Lord Nanzhu.
"A Specter? A Fourth-Order Specter? How could there be such a thing as a Fourth-Order Specter in this ancient ruin?"
Upon seeing the Ghost Fog enveloping the core area of the Huangdi Sect, True Lord Nanzhu's face immediately turned unsightly.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator who was experienced and well-informed, True Lord Nanzhu clearly understood the terror of Fourth-Order Specters. A Fourth-Order Evil Ghost hiding within a Specter would have its strength increased significantly.
Entering a Fourth-Order Specter, a Nascent Soul Cultivator like True Lord Nanzhu had to be extremely cautious, fearing a stealth attack that could kill him.
To eliminate a Fourth-Order Low-Grade Specter, at least three Nascent Soul Cultivators were generally needed to securely win.
An Escape Light flew up from below, revealing its form—it was True Lord Kumu.
A trace of surprise flitted through True Lord Nanzhu's eyes as he said, "True Lord Kumu, what are you doing here?"
Being a veteran Nascent Soul Cultivator and an elder of the Sea God Meeting, True Lord Nanzhu had connections with many Nascent Soul Cultivators and naturally knew the intelligence on True Lord Kumu.
True Lord Kumu said, "True Lord Nanzhu, this place is now my master's Daoist ground. If you have no business here, please leave!"
True Lord Nanzhu, curious, said, "This ancient ruin is a Fifth-Order High-Grade Spirit Vein, not just anyone can occupy it. Who is your master?"
A Fifth-Order High-Grade Spirit Vein was extremely precious to Nascent Soul Cultivators. In the Blue Sky Sea, only the top Nascent Soul Powers capable of occupying a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein either had great Cultivators stationed there or possessed the strength to contend with great Cultivators.
Kusuo, a senior cultivator, said, "My lord is none other than Zhao Yu, the city lord of Tianli Immortal City!"
Nanzhu, another cultivator, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes, sighed deeply, "Zhao Yu? I remember he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage less than a hundred years ago. No, not even fifty years! Yet, he has managed to make you submit! This person is truly formidable! It seems, then, that the treasures of this ancient site have also fallen into his hands.
How enviable indeed!"
Although Nanzhu was not clear about the origins of the Huangdi Sect, the site of the Huangdi Sect was known to be a Fifth Order high-grade Spirit Vein, and it surely contained numerous millennia-old Spiritual Medicines, and possibly even various secret techniques and spiritual treasures from ancient times, naturally enviable to others.
"Since this place is Zhao City Lord's training ground, I shall take my leave first! If Zhao City Lord ever finds the time, he may visit my Nanzhu Island. He will surely find the trip worthwhile!"
Nanzhu, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes, turned into a beam of Escape Light and disappeared. He was well aware that he was no match for Zhao Yu and, not wishing to invite trouble, he chose to leave immediately.
Several days later, another Nascent Soul Cultivator arrived and, after negotiating with Kusuo, decided to leave as well.
Within a month, seven Nascent Soul Cultivators had reached the Huangdi Sect site and then decided to leave forthwith.
One day, a Golden Chariot pulled by nine Flood Dragons flew through the sky, carrying nine exceptionally beautiful Golden Core female cultivators. Seated on the Golden Chariot was a robust, handsome, and majestic middle-aged Nascent Soul Cultivator.
On the left side of the Golden Chariot, followed a dark cloud, within which stood a tall, middle-aged Nascent Soul Cultivator dressed in a black Daoist robe.
On the right side of the Golden Chariot floated an Immortal Chart, on which sat a stunningly beautiful Nascent Soul female cultivator in colorful palace attire, with fiery red long hair, looking no older than eighteen, tended by ten exceptionally handsome young men.
On the far right of the Golden Chariot hovered a thousand-foot long Spirit Boat, at the top of which, around a jade table, sat three imposing Nascent Soul Cultivators.

These three Nascent Soul Cultivators were a tall, extremely handsome young man with silver hair, appearing to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, a round, plump middle-aged cultivator with squinting eyes always sporting a smile, and an older man, skinny, with a sharp aura and all-white hair.
One of the beautiful female Golden Core cultivators at the front of the Golden Chariot called out, "Golden Spirit Palace Master, Jin Ling Zhen Jun, and Yu Yang Sect Master, Fei Yang Zhen Jun, have arrived. Tianli Immortal City Lord Zhao, please come out and meet us!"
Inside the Huangdi Sect site.
Upon hearing the noise outside, Zhao Yu, with a trace of regret in his eyes, said, "Their timing really couldn't be worse! This body of the Divinity Transformation cultivator is only half refined! But the strength of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor has already risen to a higher level!"
Two beams of Escape Light flew out from inside the Huangdi Sect site and materialized in mid-air, revealing Zhao Yu and Kusuo.
Zhao Yu said, "I am Zhao Yu. May I ask why you have come here this time, esteemed cultivators?"
"Zhao cultivator, this ancient site is a Fifth Order high-grade Spirit Vein, and I, along with Fei Yang Zhen Jun, plan to establish a Loose Cultivator Alliance based here. We ask you to leave this place.
Of course, if you decide to join the alliance we are forming, you would be entitled to a position as one of the elders based on your merits," said the Golden Spirit Palace Master, seated on the Golden Chariot, looking down at Zhao Yu, as a terrifying aura of a Six Levels of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator emanated from his body.
In the Cultivation World, the strong command respect, and an ancient site such as the Fifth Order high-grade Spirit Vein of the Huangdi Sect is extremely rare in the Blue Sky Sea, usually controlled by those powers with great cultivators.

Although Zhao Yu had killed Tianli Zhen Jun and gained a notorious reputation in the Blue Sky Sea, he was still unable to intimidate a powerhouse like Jin Ling Zhen Jun, who was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul.
