152: Chapter 152 Ninefold Barrier Against Fate

[Comprehensive Score: 280 (Answers are often hidden in certain details)]

[The number of currently fixable traits is zero. Do you choose to replace traits?]

Lin Qingyu glanced at 'Passerby' and curled her lips in disgust.

'No!'

[Rewards of this simulation:]

[1. Memories of this simulation]

[2. Cultivation base of this simulation]

[3. Items carried on the body at the end of the simulation]

What an impervious bastard Liu Guanzhi is!

Lin Qingyu silently recited in her heart a few times, "I am a Fairy of the Righteous Path, I cannot bicker with such an evil Cultivator," before she finally felt much better.

Skipping the familiar mini-movie, a massive surge of cultivation memories instantly poured into her mind.

At this moment, the immense benefits of a strong Divine Sense were manifested. Closing her eyes for just a moment, Lin Qingyu opened them again to reveal clear, lucid depths in her gaze.

Following that, her Physical Body and spiritual power once again ushered in a violent surge.

What was particularly eye-catching was that within the liquid spiritual power, which was originally as clear as the ocean, patches of dazzling spiritual crystals had quietly condensed.

The Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core is also known as the Ninefold Tribulation of Defying Fate.

It is divided into the lower three stages, the middle three stages, and the upper three stages.

The lower three stages are called 'Crystal Condensation'.

On the basis of the liquid spiritual sea, a Cultivator must undergo three rounds of dispersing cultivation and re-gathering.

By dispersing and re-gathering spiritual power to compress the spiritual sea, patches of spiritual crystals will be born during this process. When the lower three stages reach Perfection, the spiritual crystals will connect with each other above the spiritual sea, transforming into a spiritual platform.

The middle three stages are called 'Crystal Transformation'.

When the Cultivator disperses and re-gathers cultivation once again, the suspended spiritual platform will produce a profound resonance with the spiritual sea below. Assisted by the spiritual platform, the spiritual sea will begin to freeze inch by inch, ultimately transforming into a pure and flawless solid sea of spiritual crystals.

The upper three stages are 'Core Formation'.

This is the last reorganization, and also the most difficult and perilous step.

The Cultivator must completely shatter the massive sea of spiritual crystals and the spiritual platform, re-gather the shattered spiritual crystals, and continuously polish them toward the state of the Golden Core, taking the final step of transformation.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary upper-grade Tri-Spiritual Root Cultivator would take at least a hundred years or so to cultivate from the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Peak.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator has a lifespan of five hundred years, which not only means that they have less than four hundred years of time left to cross this natural chasm, but also proves that with their Aptitude, the speed of dispersing cultivation and re-cultivating is bound to be fast nowhere.

Moreover, the Ninefold Tribulation of Defying Fate becomes more difficult with each stage.

For them, more than three hundred years of time is far from enough, which is also the fundamental reason why Dual Spiritual Roots are called Golden Core seeds.

The moment of testing Spiritual Roots actually determines the fate of the vast majority of Cultivators.

Lin Qingyu put her hands behind her back and looked into the distance at the scenery outside the Immortal Cave.

What a pity, this monarch is already a Prodigy with Dual Spiritual Roots.

'System, open the panel!'

The biggest gain from this simulation was not the cultivation base or these Foundation Establishment Stage true spells, but rather...

Lin Qingyu cast her gaze on the halberd in the system space, hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to take it out directly.

Forget it, she would rather wait until the next simulation to try again. After all, her precious little life was quite valuable, and there was really no need to take such unnecessary risks.

The night grew thicker.

Lin Qingyu did not rush to start the next simulation, but instead sat alone in the stone pavilion outside the Immortal Cave, her slender jade fingers leisurely tinkering with the tea set.

In the corner of the stone table, a glossy jade jar sat quietly, and inside it was the top-grade spiritual tea previously bestowed by Feng Qianyue.

Although two consecutive high-intensity simulations did not make her feel tired, she still needed to stop to sort out her thoughts and soothe her state of mind.

"Junior Sister, what good things are you eating? It smells so fragrant?"

"Wow! You are actually eating alone!"

Two crisp voices rang out almost simultaneously, one outside the courtyard, and one in the sky.

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other at the same time. Their eyes met, and invisible sparks seemed to crackle in the air, instantly filling the atmosphere with a tense and bristling smell of gunpowder.

The newcomers were none other than Ling Shuanghua and Luo Linger.

Lin Qingyu raised her eyelids expressionlessly, her gaze sweeping indifferently over the two tense people before her. In that look, a trace of condescending haughtiness and calmness naturally emerged.

Hum~!

This monarch is already a powerful Cultivator at the Peak Foundation Establishment First Revolution. Today, the roles of offense and defense have long since reversed!

"Sit."

The girl's cold voice rang out under the moonlight, causing the two people in a standoff to freeze unconsciously. Then, they both obediently withdrew their momentum, hurried to the stone table, and sat down.

Ling Shuanghua unconsciously glanced secretly at this Junior Sister. Hmm! Still as cold and pretty as ever.

It's just that she seemed to have acquired some indescribable feeling, making her feel a trace of caution.

Not sure, let me look again.

As for Luo Linger, she didn't care about these details at all. Smelling the refreshing tea fragrance wafting from the tip of her nose, the little loli couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

The two women just looked quietly at Lin Qingyu.

They saw her plain hands lift lightly, turning the tea set with flowing and smooth movements. Every gesture exuded a natural calmness and ultimate elegance.

For a moment, both of them fell silent, only feeling that the scene before them was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

As the sound of the teacups landing on the stone table rang out, Lin Qingyu pushed two jade teacups in front of the two women, and once again coldly spat out a single word:

"Drink."

Luo Linger's cravings had long been hooked. She picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, then looked over eagerly once more.

The meaning was very obvious: More!

Ling Shuanghua was much more reserved. After slowly finishing it, she put down the teacup and said nothing, though the anticipation in the depths of her eyes was hard for anyone to ignore.

Lin Qingyu shook her head helplessly. After refilling a cup for each of them, she continued to speak:

"I wonder what brings the two Senior Sisters here today?"

"Tomorrow is the once-in-a-millennium Sword Dao Ceremony of the Tianxuan Sword Sect." x2

After the two women finished speaking, they glared at each other, and then once again spoke in unison:

"I want to invite Junior Sister to attend together."

"I want to invite you to attend together!"

The two women once again tried to kill each other with their eyes.

Lin Qingyu: "..."
