Breakthrough! The second Calamity Sword has taken shape!

After getting the answer, Li Fan bid farewell to Lin Mo and returned contentedly.

Only after Lin Mo's figure completely disappeared outside the courtyard did Sword Elder's aged voice resound in Li Fan's mind once more.

"Tsk, kid, get ready."

Li Fan was startled by the words.

"What do you mean?"

"What are you talking about, Sword Elder?"

He didn't understand at all.

"I mean, prepare to join the Holy Land with him."

"After all, the environment here is too poor; Cultivating in such a place will waste so much of your effort!"

Sword Elder said as a matter of course.

"Join the Holy Land with Brother Mo?!"

Li Fan was shocked.

"But didn't you say, Sword Elder, that the requirements for joining a Holy Land are extremely strict? With my current Cultivation Realm, how could I possibly succeed in joining a Holy Land?"

He had a good understanding of his own capabilities.

With his current meager Dao, let alone a Holy Land, he might not even be able to enter those Sects with a bit of renown in the major regions.

"That's why I told you to go in with him!"

Sword Elder's words carried a hint of "Why are you so slow-witted, kid?"

"You're not quite qualified now, but he is."

"As long as he performs exceptionally like a Prodigy, he might directly become a Core Disciple of the Holy Land."

"As a Core Disciple, he has many privileges. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Li Fan instantly understood.

"Oh... I get it."

"Sword Elder, you mean, as long as I cling to Brother Mo's coattails, I can be specially admitted to a Holy Land for Cultivation, right?"

He summarized Sword Elder's core idea in the most straightforward words.

"You can understand it that way."

"Kid, the Cultivation environment of a Holy Land is far beyond your imagination."

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there is so dense that it can materialize, all kinds of Heaven And Earth Treasure are readily available, and there are even true powerhouses lecturing and dispelling doubts."

"So, you must seize this opportunity firmly!"

Sword Elder coaxed him patiently.

"I understand."

Li Fan nodded heavily, but then a hint of suspicion arose in his heart.

"Speaking of which... Sword Elder, you wouldn't be trying to trick Brother Mo into joining the Holy Land with this in mind, would you?"

He always felt that Sword Elder's words today were full of schemes.

"Kid, what are you thinking?"

"This old man wouldn't resort to such methods."

"The method I just mentioned is indeed the best way for him, and also the fastest shortcut."

"Otherwise, simply with his current Realm, it would be almost impossible for him to access divine materials of that level."

Sword Elder snorted lightly and continued to explain.

"Of course, as you know, he is far from simple; even I can't see through the secrets on him, so perhaps he has his own methods as well?"

"In any case, no matter what, as long as he decides to enter a Holy Land, you just follow him in. Remember that much, and it's enough."

"Alright, don't worry, Sword Elder."

Li Fan agreed, having already made up his mind to follow Lin Mo's footsteps no matter what... On the other side, Lin Mo had already returned to his quiet room.

He sat cross-legged and began to sort out his next plan.

"The next goal is already very clear: to join a Holy Land as soon as possible."

"And for me, the easiest Holy Land to join is the Yanyang Holy Land."

"After all, I still have the sacred sun token on me, so I can participate in the assessment at any time."

Lin Mo was not conflicted about which Holy Land to join.

Because from the very beginning, his goal was the Emperor Scripture of the Yanyang Holy Land.

However, there were two clear conditions for joining the Yanyang Holy Land.

First, his Physical Body strength must be up to standard, and second, his Cultivation Realm must reach the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of thirty.

He was confident that he could meet the first condition, even with plenty to spare.

As for the second condition, he was still a bit short at the moment.

"I wonder if the Yanyang Holy Land truly tests the Realm, or if reaching a certain level of strength is enough?"

"If reaching a certain level of strength is enough, then with my current strength, comparable to the Deity Transformation Peak, I should definitely be qualified, right?"

Lin Mo was a bit unsure about the specific requirements of the Yanyang Holy Land.

If they truly insisted on the Realm being up to standard, then he was currently only at the Spiritual Sea Peak, still separated from the Nascent Soul Realm by the great Realm of Golden Core.

In that case, he would have to wait until he Broke through to Nascent Soul before he could participate in the assessment.

But if strength was the measuring standard... then he had already far exceeded it.

"Forget it, I might as well go and see."

After not long, Lin Mo had an idea.

Instead of guessing here, he might as well go and try directly.

He didn't believe that with his Aptitude, which even Great Emperors had praised, the Yanyang Holy Land would turn him away.

Even if the Yanyang Holy Land was truly so rigid as to strictly require Realm to be met, with his talent, he should at least be given special admission, right?

Even if it didn't work, he could simply go again after his Cultivation Broke through to Nascent Soul.

Anyway, with the strong support from the Great Xia side, it wouldn't take too long.

"That's what I say... but I haven't even reached the Golden Core yet..."

Lin Mo was about to complain that he hadn't even Broke through to the Golden Core Realm, but his words suddenly stopped at his lips.

"Eh?!"

"No, this feeling..."

"Am I about to Breakthrough?!"

His inner spiritual sea had somehow completely overflowed, an boundless ocean of spiritual power stirring up monstrous waves, collapsing and condensing towards the center with an unstoppable momentum!

Lin Mo's heart trembled. Without time to think further, he quickly focused all his attention and fully guided the vast power within him to assault the next Realm.

Rumble!

Within his Dantian, it was as if heaven and earth were being created. Infinite liquid spiritual power was compressed to the extreme, and a singularity emitting brilliant golden light suddenly emerged.

Golden Core Realm!

It was done!

The singularity frantically devoured the remaining spiritual power in the spiritual sea, its volume rapidly expanding, eventually transforming into a perfectly round, Dragon eye-sized golden pill radiating an immortal aura.

Once the Golden Core was formed, Lifespan greatly increased, and one became an "Immortal Master"!

And it was at the moment the Golden Core completely formed that the Nine Tribulations Immortal Slaying Sword Scripture began to operate on its own.

The already condensed phantom of the Tribulation Sword, filled with pure killing and annihilation intent, quietly appeared.

It transformed into a stream of light, directly rushing towards the Golden Core, and finally became a subtle sword-shaped mark, deeply branded on the surface of the Golden Core.

However, this was not the end.

With the appearance of the first sword mark, a brand new phantom of the Tribulation Sword quietly condensed within Lin Mo's Dantian.

This second Tribulation Sword was completely different from the first.

Its entire body presented a strange, ethereal color, and the space around its blade slightly twisted, emitting a heart-pounding spatial fluctuation.

Buzz!

The sword body trembled lightly, and this newly born Tribulation Sword disappeared from the Dantian without any warning.

The next moment, it appeared directly inside Lin Mo's quiet room, circling around his body once.

Tear—

With a barely perceptible soft sound.

The space within the quiet room was silently cut open by this Tribulation Sword, creating a pitch-black crack, through which heart-ppounding Void Realm turbulences emanated.

Having completed all this, the Void Realm Tribulation Sword flashed again and returned to Lin Mo's body.

And it transformed into the second sword mark, aligning with the first Annihilation Sword mark, both branded onto the nascent Golden Core.
