Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 504 - 423: Primordial Golden Core Formed! Double Golden Core!
The Dao Foundation, once square and round, had now transformed into a spherical shape, continuously contracting inward, compressing and refining the spirit liquid within.
Rooted in the Dao Foundation itself, the Senluo Spirit Root condensed into a flesh-colored seed, located at the very center of the sphere, where a new life seemed to be burgeoning.
With everything prepared, Su Yuan’s mind moved, and his Divine Sense suddenly poured into the Dao Foundation.
He focused all his efforts on meticulous control, causing the Dao Foundation to expand violently and then contract violently. After repeating this nine times, the Dao Foundation completely shrank into a golden Treasure Pill the size of a baby’s fist.
This Treasure Pill spun continuously within the Dantian, flawless and primordial, occasionally emitting tiny specks of solidified spiritual power with a gray glow.
That was Primordial Spiritual Power with the characteristics of the Primordial Dao!
The Golden Core Realm was achieved!
And after breaking through the realm, an indescribable hunger surged from Su Yuan’s dantian and every cell.
Without hesitation, he took out the spirit stones gifted by Long Bai, containing an abundance of pure spiritual power, considered ’the finest’ in the Ancient Era, and began to absorb their power en masse.
With the consumption of one supreme spirit stone after another, the solid spiritual power surrounding the Primordial Golden Core became increasingly numerous, resembling countless stars that formed a star ring around the Golden Core.
Once the hunger was satisfied, Su Yuan roughly estimated that not only was the quality of his spiritual power far superior to before, but its total amount was also more than ten times that of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Considering the Corruption Golden Core, it would be even more.
At this moment, the Corruption Golden Core that had been pushed aside during the Core Formation process came closer, attracting the Primordial Golden Core. As they rotated around each other, they did not collide.
Double Golden Core.
"Inner Core Cultivation of the First-Layer Golden Core, Outer Pill Cultivation of the Golden Core Second Layer."
Su Yuan murmured with some emotion:
"Even without any external aids, just comparing cultivation, my single Golden Core alone is enough to rival a fake Golden Core at the late Golden Core stage."
"The combined power of the Double Golden Core even surpasses the fake Golden Core at the Golden Core Peak, comparable to the late Golden Core stage within the Immortal Official system, akin to a mid-Golden Core prodigy emerged from the Ten Great Immortal Sects with a chance at further advancement."
"Among the Golden Cores, the hierarchy is truly distinct, and I stand at the very top of the pyramid."
"And if accounting for various external aids, even if I can’t defeat Instructor Ye, I can engage in a hundred rounds without defeat."
After some calculations, Su Yuan suddenly realized that he had indeed become very, very powerful.
In his presence, the Chen Family of Taihua City no longer posed any threat.
He could at any time play out a scenario of the Dragon King’s return, beat up Grandpa Chen, and reclaim the property rightfully belonging to Chen Nuoyi.
Hehe... Can’t imagine how satisfying that would be.
However, after a brief indulgence in this thought, Su Yuan quickly realized that the Chen Family was no longer a significant issue.
In the future, resisting the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity and the Immortal Tribulation, as well as preventing the destruction of the Cold Plum World, are the real major tasks he should undertake.
"Heh, they say when the sky falls there’s always a tall person to hold it up, but in certain circumstances, I’ve become the tallest one."
"With great power comes greater responsibility and crisis."
Upon thinking of this, Su Yuan, whose ego had slightly inflated due to his breakthrough, quickly returned to his usual calmness.
Because to shoulder the aforementioned responsibilities, he was still far from being enough.
After slightly consolidating his cultivation, Su Yuan ended his practice and opened his eyes to look beside him.
Chen Nuoyi and Long Bai sat on his left and right, quietly watching him.
Seeing important people as soon as he opened his eyes made Su Yuan’s mood instantly improve.
Looking at the blue-haired girl with features like a painting before him, he confidently said:
"Once the Crown of Corruption is restored, Nuoyi, you can quickly advance to the Golden Core Stage."
"Not only you, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in the Primordial Sect will experience an explosive surge, and we will become a genuine top hundred Demon Sect, perhaps even higher."
Chen Nuoyi smiled, not overly excited, instead pointing at Su Yuan’s chest:
"You should take care of yourself first. Engaging in the Primordial Dao, your future path is much more dangerous than ours. You are the one who most needs to grow stronger."
Su Yuan scratched his head, smiling:
"Such things can’t be rushed."
They indeed can’t be rushed because Su Yuan is not like the kind of fake cultivator such as Blood Soul True Monarch.
In the future, as he progresses, he not only needs the infusion of spiritual power but also must continuously refine the Primordial Essence and other Essence of the Demon Path.
Without the escort of the Essence of the Great Dao, although it won’t lead to stagnation in his cultivation, it would cause him to become a mere mortal rather than a peerless prodigy.
Thus, merely having the Crown of Corruption is insufficient.
Fortunately, with the entire Blue Star Federation as his support, he need not worry about the Essence of the Great Dao for the time being.
"It has already been twenty-four hours; Sect Leader Ruan should have recovered by now."
Su Yuan said, activating the Tribulation Moon Pearl on his wrist.
The next second, a captivating figure appeared on the open ground in front of the room; it was Ruan Pingcui.
At this moment, she was dressed in relatively conservative clothing, and her beautiful eyes no longer held their usual seductive charm, but instead carried a certain heroism.
After sensing Su Yuan’s suddenly surging aura, Ruan Pingcui’s expression softened slightly:
"With such a profoundly mysterious strong ally like you, I have much more confidence in our upcoming actions."
"In addition to healing in the past day, I’ve also thought of a very suitable target to strike... the Jia Family of Rong Han Mansion, neighboring Xianghan Mansion."
"The Jia Family?"
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback and curiously asked:
"Is there something special about the Jia Family?"
Ruan Pingcui explained:
"There are three benefits to targeting the Jia Family."
"First, the Jia Family’s ancestor is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and he’s relatively weak among the old Nascent Souls."
"Second, Rong Han Mansion is located in the southwest, farthest from the capital, and it’s the area where Nan Cang’s control is weakest, making it difficult for him to notice when we make a move on the Jia Family."
"Third, the Jia Family is no good; they have a tight grip on the Immortal Official System of Rong Han Mansion. From the prefect to the magistrate, they’re all their people, and the common people suffer under the Jia Family’s rule."
"Of course, I’m not concerned about the third point, but I think you guys, as righteous cultivators, might care more."
Su Yuan righteously declared: "Remove the ’might,’ we are righteous cultivators."
Ruan Pingcui: "..."
Do righteous cultivators explicitly emphasize that they’re righteous? The taste of trying to cover up is quite strong!
Su Yuan continued:
"I will quickly inform Instructor Ye to let the disciples of the Flame Evil Sect clash with the Jia Family."
Ruan Pingcui: "Instructor Ye?"
Su Yuan: "That’s my master’s wife, the one you saw when you kidnapped my master last time."
Ruan Pingcui was enlightened and had no objection to this.
Rong Han Mansion and Xianghan Mansion are adjacent, and the forces of both sides typically come into contact.
Therefore, the entry of Flame Evil Sect disciples into Rong Han Mansion and their conflict with the Jia Family’s arrogant youth don’t appear sudden.
From Nan Cang’s perspective, since the Flame River has already joined their camp, the Flame Evil Sect should be an ally, and suspicions about this conflict are unlikely.
Even if he pays attention, it doesn’t matter, as he doesn’t know Su Yuan plans to repair the Crown of Corruption.
Without this premise, Nan Cang couldn’t possibly deduce that Su Yuan would target a Nascent Soul expert at this critical moment.
It’s something unreasonable to happen; how could Nan Cang defend against it?
Under the maneuvering of Su Yuan and others with intent, the conflict between the Flame Evil Sect disciples and the Jia Family’s inflated youths intensified.
It quickly escalated into a series of scenarios where hitting the young brought the old, and hitting the old brought the older...
After rounds of confrontation, the situation escalated from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage.
Eventually, the situation successfully alarmed the Jia Family’s ancestor and Ye Muyu, the interim sect leader of the Flame Evil Sect.
Inside Rong Han Mansion, Ye Muyu was surrounded by a group of Flame Evil Sect disciples, blocking the entrance of the Jia Family.
In the courtyard of the Jia Family stood a group of luxuriously dressed young lords and ladies, staring at the people outside the door with grief and indignation.
And at the forefront of the Jia Family was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, who was none other than Jia Fugui, the ancestor of the Jia Family.
At this time, he was staring headachingly at Ye Muyu, already informed about the events that had occurred in the neighboring mansion two days ago, knowing that the Flame Evil Sect was not to be trifled with.
But for the dignity of the Nascent Soul family, Jia Fugui couldn’t back down and could only say coldly:
"You people of the Flame Evil Sect are deliberately causing trouble, and your intent to covet my Jia Family’s territory is all too clear."
"Seeing that this is your first offense, I can give you a chance to apologize. After you make amends, leave quickly, and all past incidents can be forgiven."
Ye Muyu listened seriously and then smiled, saying:
"My husband is a favorite around the Southern Governor; how many Nascent Soul experts does your Jia Family have to talk to me like this?"
"I think the Jia Family is allowing its imagination to run wild."
