I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 205 - 132: Old, Ill, and Dead—The Four Profound Gates (Part 2)
"Though it is the Life Gate, in reality, it is the Death Gate!"
"Because the assessment of the Life Gate is to cultivate the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique to the Third Turn Perfection within five years... and successfully break through to the Golden Core stage!"
"If unsuccessful... elimination!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tianhan and the Ghost-eyed Child’s faces drastically changed.
What is the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique?
It is actually a unique method of Shattered Core...
The cultivator of the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique must shatter their core once during each Core Formation.
After each Shattered Core, one needs to disperse their cultivation and rebuild, falling back to the First Layer of Qi Refining...
Total of three reconstructions, enhancing the quality of the Golden Core by three grades!
Although the speed of cultivation is much faster after dispersing and rebuilding.
But... how could one manage three Shattered Core reconstructions in just five years?
After listening to Jiang Liqian’s explanation, Li Tianhan and the Ghost-eyed Child fell silent.
"If this is true, then this Life Gate is indeed no different from the Death Gate..."
The Ghost-eyed Child murmured.
As a former Golden Core cultivator, he well understood the difficulty of dispersing cultivation and rebuilding...
Meanwhile, a cold voice echoed in the square.
"Congratulations to the three of you for passing the fourth trial... Please enter the Old, Ill, and Dead Gates according to the arena order..."
As the voice fell, three doors of about ten feet high appeared on the stone walls around the square.
The doors were engraved with the words Old, Ill, and Dead.
Jiang Liqian and others entered their corresponding gates.
Boom!
As the three doors landed, making a heavy sound, it also indicated the final end of this ruins opening...
...
Inside the closed room of the third round of assessment.
Lin Chen thought over and still said: "I choose the Life Gate!"
As Lin Chen’s voice fell, an additional door appeared on the stone wall, engraved with the word Life.
Lin Chen did not possess much intelligence about the Golden Yuan Sect ruins.
But merely from the four words "Life, Death, Old, Ill," he could not choose any other than the Life Gate...
Yet Lin Chen did not hastily enter the room.
He glanced at the scattered puppet parts at his feet.
After picking them up and examining them closely, Lin Chen muttered:
"The material used in crafting these puppets is extraordinary, and their strength is quite terrifying..."
"Just these exotic metals are probably not under a hundred tons... There’s no reason not to take them!"
Thus, Lin Chen placed these puppet parts into several nanobags, and then he stuffed them all into the Purple Jade Gourd.
"Even the stone walls and floor of this room seem to be of unusual metal..."
Lin Chen utilized the Earth Escape Technique, scraping three feet deep, and loaded the entire floor into the nanobags.
But when he attempted to dismantle the slabs on the walls, he furrowed his brows slightly.
"The stone walls seem to have a special defensive array... can’t dismantle them!"
Lin Chen tried for a long time and had to give up reluctantly.
"Alas, such a pity for these stone walls..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Lin Chen smacked his lips, but he wasn’t too greedy.
Even those high-tier ores on the puppets and floor made him reap much more than he had from the Oasis Ruins before.
His Divine Sense probed into the Purple Jade Gourd, looking at the dozen or so nanobags filled to the brim, Lin Chen exclaimed:
"Coming to this ruins this time was truly rewarding!"
"Tsk tsk, the combo of Purple Jade Gourd and nanobags is really effective..."
In theory, as long as there are enough nanobags, Lin Chen’s storage space is limitless...
And luckily, although nanobags are precious, Lin Chen’s Purple Jade Gourd still holds dozens of them.
Enough to pack countless treasures...
"Next is the fourth trial assessment..."
"Life, Old, Ill, Dead, the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique is behind this gate?"
Lin Chen did not ponder much. After his physical strength recovered to a certain extent, he stepped through the Life Gate...
Boom!
As Lin Chen entered the Life Gate, the heavy door fell directly...
...
After entering the Life Gate, Lin Chen squinted at his surroundings.
This is a small chamber, approximately only three zhang in circumference.
In the center of the chamber is a protruding stone platform.
Lin Chen approached and saw three items placed on the stone platform.
Two jade scrolls and a blue gourd.
"This gourd..."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, took out the Purple Jade Gourd to compare the two.
The aura on the two gourds was similar, only the patterns and colors differed.
"This gourd shares the same origin as the Purple Jade?"
Lin Chen was slightly surprised.
"That’s not right! Although Master said this gourd has seven pieces, but it was discovered during Ancestor’s travels..."
"But the Golden Yuan Sect perished thousands of years ago, something doesn’t add up in this world..."
Lin Chen felt a bit puzzled but thought no more of it.
He picked up the two jade scrolls.
A Sound Recording Jade Scroll and a Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll.
Lin Chen’s Divine Sense explored the Sound Recording Jade Scroll, and soon a voice entered Lin Chen’s mind.
"I am Golden Yuan Zhenren. In my youth, I measured my Spirit Roots to be Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, embarking on the path of cultivation."
"At sixteen, I entered the Qi Refining Stage."
"At twenty, I reached Qi Refining Perfection, encountered a stroke of luck, obtained the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment..."
"At fifty, I achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection. After enduring numerous hardships, I acquired the Golden Yuan Pill Formula, aiming for the Golden Core."
"Yet I realized my talent was mediocre, and a Lower Grade Golden Core was my limit... Yet I was unsatisfied, thus traversed countless mountains and rivers, painstakingly researching, finally I created the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique, forming a seventh-grade Golden Core."
"At one hundred and eighty, I entered the Golden Core stage..."
"At four hundred, I finally formed a Nascent Soul."
"But knowing my talent, Nascent Soul was my limit, no further progress could be made, I didn’t wish the world’s moderately talented cultivators to be like me."
"Thus founded the Golden Yuan Sect, passing down through millennia, seeking the path to defy fate for the world’s cultivators, to glimpse the Divinity Transformation Realm..."
"For thousands of years, my wishes remain unfulfilled..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
The owner of this jade scroll turned out to be Golden Yuan Zhenren, the creator of the Three Turn Golden Essence Technique.
