411: Chapter 411 Breakthrough to Golden Immortal!

Two System notification sounds rang out one after another deep within his mind.

"Taiyi Golden Core! It is actually the legendary Taiyi Golden Core! And this jinque jade book!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. Although this golden soul pill could assist a Profound Immortal in comprehending the Immortal Golden Nature, there was still a chance of failure after all.

Yet this "Taiyi Golden Core" returned by the System's critical strike was actually a supreme divine object that guaranteed a one hundred percent promotion to Golden Immortal!

And it gave ten of them at once!

"My current cultivation has long been honed to the absolute limit of the Profound Immortal Peak over endless years. Whether it is the foundation of my Physical Body or my comprehension of the Law, I have reached a point where I can advance no further, completely stuck at this Bottleneck.

Now, all that I lack is that final, and most difficult to cross, sliver of Immortal Golden Nature.

Now that I have this Taiyi Golden Core to assist me, breaking through to that supreme Golden Immortal Realm, which has blocked countless Prodigies, is practically within reach and just around the corner!"

Lu Yuan's breathing became incredibly heavy, his eyes flashing with unprecedented ambition.

He did not hesitate at all and made his decision decisively.

"Transmit my decree!"

Lu Yuan's majestic voice, laced with thick Profound immortal spiritual power, was like thunder from the Nine Heavens. It instantly pierced through the layers of Formations in the main hall and resounded above all one hundred and eight thousand Peaks of the Qingyun Dao Sect, causing countless birds and beasts to prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.

"Pass down the order to activate the highest level of defense for the Sect-protecting Formation. I am going into seclusion to charge towards the Golden Immortal Realm! No one is allowed to disturb me!"

...

Half an hour later, deep within the main hall of the Qingyun Dao Sect, in the underground secret chamber with the strictest defenses of the entire Sect.

The four walls of this secret chamber were built from Chaos Profound Nether Stone, which could isolate all heavenly secrets and divinations, and the walls were densely carved with Spirit-Gathering Formation patterns that converged Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged with a solemn expression on a cushion carved from ten-thousand-year warm jade in the center of the secret chamber.

In front of his chest, a Taiyi Golden Core, which was entirely a noble purple-gold color, naturally flowing with nine Dao pill patterns on its surface, and continuously emitting a dense, Immortal aura that made one's Soul feel a sense of trepidation, was quietly floating in mid-air.

As the Golden Core rose and fell slightly, the Spiritual Qi within the secret chamber faintly manifested various terrifying Phenomena, such as auspicious Dragons and Phoenixes, and ethereal Immortal music.

"Swallow for me!"

Lu Yuan's eyes snapped open, two alarming beams of light shooting out from them.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and took a forceful breath toward the front.

That extremely precious Taiyi Golden Core instantly turned into a brilliant purple-gold stream of light, following his breath, and submerged directly into the depths of his Dantian.

"Rumble—!" The very instant the Golden Core entered his abdomen, a vast and terrifyingly immense energy, impossible to describe with mundane words and as vast as a sea of stars, exploded within Lu Yuan's limbs, bones, and extraordinary Meridians, like an ancient star detonated inside his body!

This energy was not the ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that Cultivators usually inhaled, nor was it the Profound Immortal Qi controlled by Profound Immortals. It was a high-dimensional power that transcended the boundaries of life and death, time and space—the most pure, most domineering, and most Immortal power in the world—Immortal Golden Nature!

This domineering power, like a roaring golden torrent, instantly washed over every inch of his flesh, every Meridian, and even the core Divine Soul within his Sea of Consciousness.

The path of immortality is a step-by-step ascent. The True Immortal Realm involves cultivating the one hundred and eight immortal apertures within the body to act as a bridge connecting to Heaven and Earth.

The Profound Immortal Realm involves comprehending the deep and mysterious Laws of Heaven and Earth, which are ever-changing and profound.

And the Golden Immortal Realm, which stands above all living beings and is revered by all worlds, requires experiencing the most painful yet most thorough sublimation—it requires the Cultivator to completely and unreservedly fuse their own Physical Body, which has undergone thousands of refinements, the Heaven and Earth Laws they have painstakingly comprehended for years, and their Primordial Spirit that dominates everything, into this "Immortal Golden Nature" that remains unpolished through ten thousand tribulations and Immortal through the passage of time.

Only by allowing every cell of the body and every ripple of the Divine Soul to be imbued with this layer of Immortal golden light, thereby achieving the ultimate leap of the Physical Body and Soul, can one truly transcend the cycle of life and death, live as long as the vast Heaven and Earth, and reach the supreme Realm of eternal immortality!

And at this moment, Lu Yuan, under the frantic baptism of this terrifying Immortal Golden Nature, was launching the most violent charge towards that great Realm that countless Cultivators could not reach in their entire lives!

The ten million Yuanxiang Particles within Lu Yuan's body let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar upon coming into contact with this Immortal Golden Nature.

His Chaos Body began to undergo a qualitative transformation. The originally gray Chaos Qi began to be tinged with a faint layer of purple-gold radiance.

His bones became as indestructible as divine iron, and his blood surged like boiling magma.

The gray, pure, and primitive Chaos Qi that originally lingered deep in his bone marrow and between his Meridians, under the constant catalysis and smelting of the violent Immortal Golden Nature, began to be imbued from the inside out with a faint yet holy and inviolable purple-gold radiance, like an ignited vast nebula.

The one hundred and eight immortal apertures in his body erupted with blinding divine light. Under the washing of the golden light, his originally jade-white bones emitted crisp, resonant sounds like a great bell, gradually becoming as indestructible as Nine Heavens divine iron tempered by ten thousand fires, with dense, natural golden Dao runes even automatically generating on the surface of his bones.

His blood turned into viscous, boiling purple-gold magma, surging and roaring like an angry Dragon within his wide and tough blood vessels. Every heartbeat felt like a celestial drum being struck in the deep sea, causing the space around him to vibrate.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the many profound Void Immortal Laws he had mastered, such as space, time, Reincarnation, and life and death, were originally just illusory Law chains carrying a trace of impure aura.

At this moment, under the repeated washing and baptism of the Immortal Golden Nature, which was like heavenly thunder and earthly fire, these chains began to tremble frantically. The Acquired Impurities contained within them were forcibly stripped away and evaporated, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into nothingness.

Replacing them, the chains gradually became as crystal clear as purple-gold glazed glass. The textures of the Laws became deeper and more aligned with the Origin of Heaven and Earth, irreversibly and frantically transforming into a higher-level, indestructible "Golden Immortal Law."

This was a long process accompanied by the excruciating pain of being sliced by a thousand knives. The agony of shattering and reconstructing the Physical Body, and tearing apart and fusing the Soul, was enough to cause any Immortal with an unsteady will to instantly suffer Qi Deviation and perish.

But Lu Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, holding onto that sliver of clarity deep within his spirit. Relying on the tenacious will of having lived two lifetimes, he forcibly guided this power, which was like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, transforming it into an invisible, world-opening giant axe, hacking and washing away again and again at the seemingly indestructible cultivation Bottleneck blocking the path between Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal.
