Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 530: Golden Core Grand Ceremony

Mysterious Trace True Master smiled and said, "There must be. Fellow Daoist Shen, rest assured, I will plan this matter properly for you, making sure you won’t suffer any loss!"

Shen Xuan asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Mysterious Trace, as for the new Golden Cores from Profound Celestial Sect and Golden Sun Sect, why did they not enter the field?"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you truly don’t regard Golden Core True Masters with high esteem!"

"The most recent Golden Core True Master from Golden Sun Sect appeared fifty years ago! A few years ago, however, the Profound Celestial Sect did have a new Golden Core True Master."

"However, that person isn’t confident in breaking the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light, hence they do not dare to enter the field lightly."

Curious, Shen Xuan asked, "How does Senior Brother know that I can break the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light?"

"I don’t know."

Mysterious Trace True Master said with a perplexed expression, "Aren’t you a Dharma Realm Body Refining Master? With your Golden Core established, your physical strength should have increased by at least three to five times."

"I thought you could transform into your True Spirit Dharma Aspect, prevent them from releasing the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light, and just finish them with one strike."

Shen Xuan was speechless.

So this is what Mysterious Trace True Master thought.

Simple and brutal.

He does, indeed, have great trust in Shen Xuan’s physical strength.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, can you really break the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light?"

"Seventy percent confident. With the recordings of True Master Zhuo Wuyan, I’d be even more confident."

Only then did Mysterious Trace True Master seem to remember.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, have you comprehended the Ice Technique Divine Power?"

Shen Xuan nodded slowly.

"That’s good!"

"As long as Fellow Daoist Shen handles Zhuo Wuyan, the matter of the Golden Core arena will be addressed by me."

Promised Mysterious Trace True Master.

"Golden Core arena?"

Shen Xuan mused and asked, "A Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Peak or the location of a Tier Three Ice Spirit Vein?"

Mysterious Trace True Master responded without hesitation, "You can choose either of these Spiritual Lands, Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Regarding the matter with Zhuo Wuyan, perhaps I can give it a try."

In fact, Shen Xuan was definitely going to step out and fight.

If you strike a heavy blow once, you won’t have to deal with a hundred smaller ones.

In the battlefield, showing one’s edge and achieving victory can make future actions much more convenient.

After all, without absolute certainty,

No one wants to establish such a powerful enemy like a Golden Core True Master.

Subsequently, Shen Xuan went to pay respects to True Master Celestial Wind and True Master Celestial Thunder.

After all, they are all Golden Core True Masters of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

There is no deep hatred between them.

At this moment, there is even less reason for conflict.

True Master Celestial Wind, being neutral,

Is now even addressing him warmly as Fellow Daoist Shen.

Though True Master Celestial Thunder maintained a stern expression,

He privately expressed his apologies to Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Shen. This old brother’s eyes are failing. Regardless of past right or wrong, would you grant me the favor of not mentioning it again, is that alright?"

"Senior Brother Celestial Thunder speaks too seriously!"

Shen Xuan immediately clasped his fists in salute.

"In the future, I hope Senior Brother Celestial Thunder will guide me more."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

They both understood in their hearts.

Though they might never become friends,

They both belong to the Cyan Cloud Sect and are Golden Core True Masters.

There’s no need to fight each other.

In essence, it was nothing more than a misunderstanding among the younger generation.

Now, Lei Yaoyang has fallen.

True Master Celestial Thunder never pursued the matter.

Nor did Shen Xuan feel the need to confront True Master Celestial Thunder head-on.

Thereafter, Shen Xuan secluded himself in his Cave Mansion, focusing on cultivation, waiting for the Core Formation ceremony.

In the meantime, Lv Zhengying visited once.

Previously, the Cyan Cloud Sect halted the sale of Spirit Veins in the core area.

Now that Shen Xuan has formed his Golden Core and returned to the sect.

True Master Tong Xuan personally chose a spirit mountain for him.

It’s Tier Two Upper Grade, and the price is quite affordable, requiring only a million Spirit Stones.

Lv Zhengying finally fulfilled his wish of establishing the Lv family in the core area of Qing Yun Mountain.

Shen Xuan chatted with him for a while.

And asked him to look after the descendants of Shen Mansion in Qing Yun Immortal City.

Lv Zhengying immediately swore to the heavens.

As long as there is a single member of the Lv family alive, they will ensure the safety of Shen’s descendants.

Upon returning, they immediately selected several elite family members to enter marriages with Shen Mansion’s descendants.

...

Days passed by.

Cyan Cloud Sect, Cold Jade Peak.

Today, Cold Jade Peak was brightly decorated, auspicious clouds swirling, and celestial cranes chirping.

A square paved with white jade stones was set up with thousands of seats, filled with guests, Spiritual Qi abundant.

On the high platform, Sect Leader Mysterious Trace True Master appeared radiant with joy, accompanied by Shen Xuan, True Master Celestial Wind, and True Master Celestial Thunder, their expressions filled with satisfaction and pride.

Below the platform, all the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect stood solemnly, their faces beaming with pride and honor.

No matter their thoughts, at least on the surface, they all displayed pride.

Today, the Cyan Cloud Sect was hosting the Golden Core ceremony for their newly promoted Golden Core True Master Shen Xuan.

"Profound Celestial Sect, True Master Xuan Wen has arrived! Congratulations to True Master Shen Xuan on achieving Great Success in the Golden Core, presenting a Millennium Condensing Yuan Ganoderma!"

"Golden Sun Sect, True Master Fiery Sun has arrived! Congratulations to True Master Shen Xuan on boundless prospects, presenting a piece of Fiery Sun Warm Jade!"

"Profound Bamboo Sect, True Master Miao Yin has arrived! Congratulations to True Master Shen Xuan on an everlasting path, presenting a Millennium Miao Yin Bamboo!"

The announcements were endless, as major Orthodox Sects within Liang Country sent prominent figures to congratulate and present generous gifts, with words full of friendship and congratulations.

Like the medium-sized sect Profound Bamboo Sect, Sect Leader Miao Yin True Master attended personally.

Mysterious Trace True Master returned each greeting with a smile, the atmosphere lively and bustling.

An hour later, all the invited distinguished guests had arrived.

However, the next announcement suddenly halted the atmosphere.

"Hehuan Sect from Liang Country, True Master Wan Meng has arrived! Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shen on achieving the Golden Core, presenting a Netherworld Demon Flower."

True Master Wan Meng, exquisitely dressed, smiled beautifully, offering her gift, her charming eyes swirling.

She gazed at Shen Xuan sitting quietly on the high platform, her eyes lingering for several breaths, full of meaning.

"White Bone Sect of Liang Country, the Venerable of Evil Bone has arrived! Congratulations to True Master Shen Xuan on achieving the Golden Core. Presenting a millennium-old evil bone."

"Blood Spirit Sect of Liang Country, the Venerable of Blood River has arrived! Congratulations to True Master Shen Xuan on achieving the Golden Core. Presenting a Blood Sea Spirit Flower."

"Yin Sha Sect of Liang Country..."

None of the six major Demon Sects of Liang Country were absent, all sending guests of True Pill Devil Venerable level.

These Devil Venerables restrained their aura, yet the pervasive evil qi still made the nearby Spirit Cultivators uncomfortable, causing them to give way.

Mysterious Trace True Master maintained a calm demeanor, welcoming them with a composed smile.

These True Pill Devil Venerables weren’t particularly powerful, but they represented the six major Demon Sects of Liang Country.

He knew this well.

These True Pill Devil Venerables came, using Shen Xuan’s Core Formation ceremony as an opportunity to probe the Cyan Cloud Sect and the true state of the Seven Sects of Song Country.

Can they continue to withstand the attacks from the Five Sects of Yan Country.

The auspicious time has arrived.

Mysterious Trace True Master was about to announce the start of the celebration.

At this moment, another high-pitched announcement came from outside the mountain gate, astonishing everyone.

"True Intention Sect of Yan Country, True Master Xian Yi has arrived! Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shen Xuan of Cyan Cloud Sect on the Golden Core achievement!"

As the voice fell, an old Daoist in a deep purple Daoist robe, with a clear and gaunt face, entered slowly with two disciples.

True Intention Sect of Yan Country!

One of the five sects of Yan Country.

Even in Yan Country, it’s ranked among the top two major sects.

Its strength is not below that of the Profound Celestial Sect.

Now, during the sect war between Yan and Song countries, a Golden Core True Master from the True Intention Sect personally visits.

Without bringing even a congratulatory gift, he comes directly to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

His intentions are not friendly.

True Master Xian Yi’s gaze, sharp as lightning, instantly pierced the crowd and landed on the high platform.

His Divine Sense lingered on Shen Xuan, who was dressed in a brand new Cyan Cloud Daoist robe, smiling slightly, for quite a while.

A faint, barely noticeable cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

An unrestrained intent to probe, brazenly displayed.

At that moment, the whole place fell silent, all eyes focusing on Shen Xuan and True Master Xian Yi.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Mysterious Trace True Master’s face darkened, just as he was about to speak.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, who had been silent on the high platform, slowly spoke.

"True Master Xian Yi of True Intention Sect from afar, Shen has failed to welcome you." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

His voice was not loud but clearly heard by everyone present.

"Since you’ve come to observe the ceremony, you are a guest. Please, True Master Xian Yi, be seated."

True Master Xian Yi is a Golden Core True Master.

Mysterious Trace True Master signaled the sect steward to quickly add a seat in the front row, next to True Master Xuan Wen and True Master Fiery Sun.

True Master Xian Yi’s Divine Sense clashed briefly with Shen Xuan’s, chilling his heart as if he was being stared down by a primordial ice beast, involuntarily bringing a sense of cold.

Such powerful Divine Sense!

This person has just condensed the Golden Core, yet his Divine Sense is not inferior to mine!

True Master Xian Yi snorted coldly, suppressing his unusual emotions, and walked with head held high to the newly added seat, sitting down calmly.

Shen Xuan paid him no further heed, instead turning to look at Mysterious Trace True Master and nodding slightly.

Mysterious Trace True Master understood, took a deep breath, and announced loudly:

"The auspicious time has arrived! The Golden Core ceremony of True Master Shen Xuan officially begins!"

The ceremonial music began to play.

Everyone’s mind was no longer on the ceremony itself.

This ceremony would not end peacefully.

...

On the high platform in the square.

Mysterious Trace True Master, as the sect leader of Cyan Cloud Sect, sat in the middle.

Shen Xuan, the main character of the celebration, accompanied on the left side.

This is the most prestigious place other than Mysterious Trace True Master.

True Master Celestial Wind and True Master Celestial Thunder sat on either side.

For Shen Xuan’s Golden Core ceremony, three out of five Golden Cores of Cyan Cloud Sect were present.

Originally, Spirit Sword True Master was also supposed to come.

But due to changes on the battlefield front.

Cyan Cloud Sect was already at a disadvantage.

For this reason, Spirit Sword True Master specially wrote a letter to express apologies.

Hidden Image True Master stayed at the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, just in case.

On the guest seats, True Master Xuan Wen of Profound Celestial Sect and True Master Fiery Sun of Golden Sun Sect were at the forefront, followed by True Master Xian Yi of True Intention Sect, True Master Miao Yin of Profound Bamboo Sect, and others, ordered by status and strength.

On the jade stone square, a banquet was set up.

Various delicacies, eight-treasure jade foods, along with spirit wine and spirit tea, were served successively.

The male and female disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect, along with the invited performance troupe, came forward, singing and dancing.

After a few rounds of drinking.

True Master Xuan Wen personally approached True Master Xian Yi to toast him.

"Fellow Daoist Xian Yi, it’s been many years since we last met. You still look splendid as ever."

True Master Xian Yi smiled faintly and drank the spirit wine in his cup.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wen, your Profound Celestial Sect’s True Master Carefree, his Core Formation ceremony, doesn’t compare to True Master Shen’s of Cyan Cloud Sect."

This was a provocation in person.

True Master Xuan Wen, being a Golden Core True Master of Profound Celestial Sect, saw through such petty tricks at a glance.

At this moment, Song Country was on the lower hand.

As the leading sect among the Seven Sects of Song Country, Profound Celestial Sect needs to unite all the strength of Song Country to fight against the sects of Yan Country.

Such a childish ruse has no value.

However, the next words of True Master Xian Yi suddenly changed his expression.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wen, when will True Master Carefree have a match with our sect’s True Master Zhuo Wuyan?"

"Also, let us have a glimpse and witness the skills of a major sect’s Golden Core True Master in Song Country."

These words put True Master Xuan Wen in an awkward position.

True Master Carefree is the only newly advanced Golden Core of Profound Celestial Sect in recent years.

However, he is a Wood Cultivator, not known for his combat prowess.

Whereas True Master Zhuo Wuyan’s Primordial Magnetic Evil Light divine power is precisely his nemesis.

Though a Golden Core True Master, slightly superior in spiritual power, divine soul, divine sense, and physical body.

However, in terms of divine power, he is naturally restrained.

In a confrontation between the two, True Master Carefree has no chance of victory.
