83: The Four Realms of Golden Core, the Supreme Grade

When Shen Qiming and Shen Qifa stabilized their cultivation and walked out of the secret chamber in high spirits, they were greeted by the most enthusiastic cheers from the entire Family.

Looking at the reborn changes in his father and Shen Qifa, and feeling the unprecedentedly high morale of the Family, Shen Yuanmo also revealed a relieved smile.

The strength of a Family has never relied on just one person.

Only when everyone unites and continuously grows stronger can the Family truly stand firm.

"Father, Shen Qifa, congratulations," Shen Yuanmo stepped forward to congratulate them.

"Yuan Mo, this is all thanks to you!" Shen Qiming heavily patted his son's shoulder, his tiger-like eyes filled with pride and gratitude.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this life!"

"Yes, the Grand Elder's grace of rebirth, Qifa will never forget!" Shen Qifa was also excited, and his gaze towards Shen Yuanmo was almost fanatical.

This was no longer a simple junior of the Family; this was clearly an omnipotent True Immortal living among them!

"We are Family, no need for formalities," Shen Yuanmo smiled.

"The future of the Family still requires Father and Shen Qifa to put in more effort."

"Old Ancestor, now that the Family has four Foundation Establishment Cultivators and its strength has greatly increased, I should also feel at ease to do my own things." He then looked at Shen Zongdao.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zongdao's expression became serious: "Yuan Mo, are you going into seclusion again?"

"Mm." Shen Yuanmo nodded.

"I feel that I am not far from Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and I should Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection within one or two years."

"Moreover, I need time to thoroughly comprehend the Core Formation insights in the Jade Slip left by Wei Qianshan."

Core Formation!

Hearing these two words, the hearts of all Foundation Establishment Cultivators present skipped a beat.

That was the Realm all Foundation Establishment Cultivators yearned for.

One step forward meant a distinction between heaven and man, a Lifespan of a thousand years, and from then on, being revered as an Immortal Master, truly entering the upper echelons of the Cultivation world.

"Good!" Shen Zongdao nodded heavily, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yuan Mo, go into seclusion with peace of mind! With the three of us here, everything in the Family will be handled properly for you, ensuring you have no worries!"

"Exactly!" The newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Shen Qiming, was also full of heroic spirit.

"Now that our Shen Family is strong and well-equipped, and protected by the Glazed Ten Thousand Peaks Array, whoever dares to invade will surely come and never return!"

Shen Yuanmo once again entered the underground secret chamber, beginning a new round of seclusion.

His goal for this seclusion was very clear.

First, to thoroughly comprehend the Golden Core Dao, paving the way for his future Core Formation!

Second, to raise his cultivation to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Inside the secret chamber, Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged.

He did not rush to Cultivate, but first took out Wei Qianshan's Jade Slip, which recorded the lifelong insights of the Wei Family's Golden Core True Persons, and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

Vast information surged like a tide.

From Wei Qianshan's initial entry into the Immortal Dao, to Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, then Core Formation, and every Breakthrough during the Golden Core Stage, all his insights, Bottlenecks, and experiences were meticulously displayed before Shen Yuanmo.

Shen Yuanmo's Insight into Origin talent was fully activated, comprehending the insights within the Jade Slip from a God's perspective.

Soon, he focused his attention on the part about Core Formation.

"So that's how it is... Golden Cores actually have grades."

As he delved deeper, a whole new world unfolded before Shen Yuanmo.

According to the Jade Slip's records, the Golden Cores formed by Cultivators were not all the same, but were divided into four grades based on the Cultivator's Foundation and background at the time of Core Formation.

Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and... the Supreme-grade that only existed in legends!

The grade of the Golden Core directly determined the Cultivator's future potential and combat power.

A Low Grade Golden Core was mottled in color and had unstable spiritual power. After Core Formation, cultivation progress was slow, and there was basically no hope of reaching Nascent Soul in this life.

A Medium Grade Golden Core was pure in color and had solid spiritual power, making one a local prodigy with a slight chance of peeking into the Nascent Soul Dao.

Most Golden Core Immortal Masters in Baiyue Prefecture City belonged to this level.

A High Grade Golden Core, on the other hand, was perfectly round, contained inner spiritual light, and could even give birth to a trace of Dao rhyme.

Those who formed High Grade Golden Cores were all heaven-sent talents, unmatched in combat power within their own Realm, and had a very high possibility of achieving Nascent Soul True Lord in the future!

As for the legendary Supreme-grade Golden Core, the Jade Slip only mentioned that it was a supreme Dao Foundation that only ancient sages could condense. Once formed, it possessed various incredible Divine Abilities, could suppress those of the same Realm, and even Golden Core Peak Cultivators with a Supreme-grade Golden Core could defeat Nascent Soul True Lords!

"Wei Qianshan himself formed a Medium Grade Golden Core. He made countless preparations to try and achieve a High Grade Golden Core, but ultimately failed, which also damaged his Foundation."

A sharp light flickered in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

He continued reading and quickly found the key to determining the Golden Core's grade.

Three barriers!

Core Formation required passing through three barriers: Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

Essence refers to the Physical Body. The stronger the Physical Body, the more stable the Foundation, and the greater the Golden Core energy it can bear.

Qi refers to magic power. The purity and richness of magic power directly determine the quality of the Golden Core.

Spirit refers to Divine Sense. Divine Sense is the dominant factor in the Core Formation process. The stronger the Divine Sense, the more precise the control over energy, and the higher the success rate and quality of Core Formation.

Ordinary Cultivators who can Cultivate the 'Qi' barrier to Perfection can form a Low Grade Golden Core.

If one can Cultivate both the 'Essence' and 'Qi' barriers to Perfection simultaneously, they can form a Medium Grade Golden Core.

However, to form a High Grade Golden Core, one must Cultivate all three barriers of 'Essence, Qi, and Spirit' to the limit of their current Realm, reaching the supreme state of triple Perfection!

"So that's it..." Shen Yuanmo suddenly understood.

No wonder High Grade Golden Cores were so rare; the difficulty of Cultivating all three of Essence, Qi, and Spirit to Perfection was simply horrifying.

Most Cultivators, throughout their entire lives, could only specialize in one.

"As for the legendary Supreme-grade Golden Core..." At the end of the Jade Slip, Shen Yuanmo found an ancient record cited by Wei Qianshan.

"To form a Supreme-grade Golden Core, in addition to triple Perfection of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, one also needs to refine a Heaven and Earth Strange Object into the core during Core Formation, using the creation of heaven and earth to help oneself break through limits and transcend into sainthood!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuanmo's heart thumped fiercely.

A thought, uncontrollably, surged wildly in his mind.

"High Grade Golden Core... No!"

"What I want to form is that one-in-a-million... Supreme-grade Golden Core!"

As this thought emerged, even Shen Yuanmo himself felt his blood burning!

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and began to assess his own conditions.

"For Qi, I have the Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture. This Cultivation Technique can Cultivate magic power to Perfection, so that's not a problem."

"For Spirit, I am a Transmigrator, and my Soul essence far surpasses ordinary people. My Divine Sense is already powerful, so I am confident in this barrier. However, I still need to deduce a Divine Sense Cultivation Technique to enhance my Divine Sense and ensure I can achieve Spirit barrier Perfection."

"The most urgent matter right now is the Essence barrier."

Shen Yuanmo frowned slightly. Although he had also Cultivated some rudimentary Body Refining methods, his Physical Body strength was at most slightly stronger than Cultivators of the same Realm, and still miles away from the Essence barrier Perfection Realm.

"It seems that before Core Formation, I must find, or... create a Body Refining Cultivation Technique sufficient to Cultivate my Physical Body to Essence barrier Perfection!"

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

Creating a Cultivation Technique was a fantasy for others.

But for him, who possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, it was not impossible!

He stood up and paced back and forth in the secret chamber, his mind rapidly thinking.

"The Wei Family's treasury contains many Jade Slips with Body Refining Cultivation Techniques. Although their grades are not high, they can serve as a basis for my deductions."

"I need a Body Refining Cultivation Technique that can perfectly integrate with the Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture, and even complement each other!"

"Using Glazed True Yang Fire to temper the Physical Body, Cultivating both internally and externally, only then can I achieve a truly indestructible body!"

A clear idea gradually formed in his mind.

He knew that this would be an incredibly difficult and time-consuming process.

But for the legendary Supreme-grade Golden Core, for a broader future in the Immortal Dao, everything was worth it!
