108: Peak of the True Dan Realm, magical power - Zhu Xian Sword Formation

Three years later.

Above Yuanlian Island, winds and clouds shifted, and nine attributes of energy converged in the Void Realm, transforming into various phenomena.

Emerald tree shadows, profound yellow mountains, deep blue rivers... these corresponded to the Five Elements of wood, metal, water, fire, and earth, as well as the three rarities of wind, ice, and lightning, and the ninth attribute—Primordial Chaos.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his spine radiating nine colors.

Each segment corresponded to a Heavenly Spiritual Root of a different attribute.

For these three years, he had racked his brain, improving the Heavenly Saint Technique.

Finally, he achieved enlightenment in one morning.

Today, he swallowed nine Improved version Xianyuan Pills, acquiring nine Heavenly Spiritual Roots in one go.

Especially the ninth attribute—Primordial Chaos—which almost encompassed all the transformations of the previous eight attributes.

This was something even Gu Changsheng had not anticipated.

At this moment, the Heavenly Saint Technique of the nine attributes circulated, and the Spiritual Root, like a long Dragon, absorbed all the surrounding energy.

In just a moment, the True Core within Gu Changsheng's body swelled by a full circle, his cultivation directly approaching the Peak True Core Realm.

"No... it's still quite a distance from the Peak True Core Realm..."

Gu Changsheng's eyes sharpened, and large boxes in front of him burst open. Inside, a massive amount of insect crystals shattered, and rich Spiritual Qi filled the entire Immortal Cave.

The spinal Spiritual Root seemed like a hungry ghost pouncing on food, its Devour speed several times faster than before.

After all, insect crystals were originally the food of the Heavenly Saint Worms.

And the Spiritual Root was transformed from the Heavenly Saint Worms.

Visibly, the black Qi lake in his body rose rapidly.

Whoosh—

In an instant, like a flood breaking a dam, it fiercely broke through that barrier.

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes, his muscles tensed, and his terrifying aura made the Immortal Cave tremble, causing sand and stones to float.

Peak True Core Realm!

Gu Changsheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

His aura retracted, making him seem like an ordinary scholar.

He looked at his attribute panel.

【Heavenly Saint Technique. True (Heaven Rank)】

【Introduction: Created by the Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor, improved by Gu Changsheng, nine attributes of the Heavenly Saint Technique are fused into one. The Cultivator needs strong Qi and blood, and must consume the Xianyuan Pill to achieve mastery.】

"Heaven Rank... I didn't expect that with the fusion of nine techniques, the Heavenly Saint Technique would break through its grade and enter the Heaven Rank..."

The original Heavenly Saint Technique was only Earth Rank quality.

Sizzle sizzle—

His spine stirred, emitting a desire for food.

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly: "I used a secret technique to modify the Heavenly Saint Worms, successfully eradicating their consciousness while retaining their instincts.

The possibility of the Soul Sea being affected by the Heavenly Saint Worms has been completely eliminated.

However... this Devour instinct has been infinitely magnified... For ordinary Cultivators who wish to Cultivate this technique and swallow the Xianyuan Pill, I fear their Qi and blood would be sucked dry by the Heavenly Saint Worms as soon as they begin."

Gu Changsheng, relying on his strong Qi and blood, could support the Heavenly Saint Worms even if their instincts were ten times stronger.

He seemed to sense something, opened his mouth, and a Daoist Golden Core floated in the air.

Above it, nine Heavenly Saint Worm phantoms circled, subtly conforming to the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, possessing an ineffable Dao rhyme.

"Mastering this technique even came with a Divine Ability... it seems related to Formation..."

Gu Changsheng's thought moved, and nine types of spiritual energy circled in the Void Realm, forming a hundred giant swords.

Each attribute was different.

"Go!"

Gu Changsheng pointed a finger, and the giant swords pierced through the Void Realm, subtly aligning with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Whoosh—

A brilliant Sword Qi slashed out from the sword Formation, piercing through Yuanlian Island's Five Elements Great Formation like cutting tofu.

The entire sky seemed to be cut in half.

Clouds, mountains, lakes... the cut surfaces were smooth and continuously annihilated and disappeared.

Such astonishing power instantly startled all the Cultivators on the island.

Nie Xiaoqian quickly appeared outside the Immortal Cave, her face full of anxiety.

'It seems the commotion was a bit too big...' Gu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, that Sword Qi just now was something I stumbled upon, merely practicing a Daoist Magic."

"So that's it... I thought it was an enemy attack, even breaking through the Five Elements Great Formation..."

After Nie Xiaoqian left, a satisfied expression appeared on Gu Changsheng's face.

"This Divine Ability has incredible power.

Moreover, it combines two functions: trapping enemies and killing enemies."

"Such a Divine Ability... I've never heard of it... It should be given a name..."

After some thought, Gu Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a sword Formation Divine Ability, subtly aligning with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams of the universe, and also possessing nine attributes, forming a Sword Qi prison... It seems capable of even slaying Immortals in heaven.

Why not call it... Zhuxian Sword Formation."

"However, for this Divine Ability, it's best to refine Divine Ability Flying Swords.

The more the number, the greater the power of the sword Formation.

When Cultivated to Perfection, with ten thousand swords attacking simultaneously, even a True Core Realm Cultivator could contend with a Profound Cave Realm Old Ancestor.

It's just the Materials..."

Gu Changsheng made an estimate.

Even if he emptied his accumulated treasury over so many years, it would still not be enough to refine ten thousand Flying Swords.

After all, every Flying Sword is a Magic Treasure.

Typically, a True Core Realm Old Ancestor's resources are at most sufficient to nurture two or three Magic Treasures.

Any more, and he would be overwhelmed.

"Now my cultivation has reached the Peak True Core Realm.

I am but one step away from the Profound Cave Realm.

However, before breaking through to the Profound Cave Realm, I must at least raise the quality of my True Core to first-grade.

And if there's an Opportunity, I can even attempt a top-grade True Core... This requires a large amount of top-tier Evil Qi... In addition, refining Flying Swords requires a massive amount of precious Spirit Materials... Refining the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill also requires a large amount of Spirit Materials and Spirit Medicine..."

Instantly, Gu Changsheng felt like he had become a pauper.

He made a rough estimate.

Achieving the above three things would probably not be possible even if the entire Great Shang kingdom were emptied.

"It seems I still have to pin my hopes on Great Jin... Also, my Disciples, after breaking through to the True Core Realm, should also show some filial piety to this old man.

Among the nine provinces of the world, my Yuanlian Island should have a share..."

Six months later, the Cultivators of Yuanlian Island left the island one after another, active in the nine provinces with their mysterious Daoist Magic.

Especially when more than ten True Dan Cultivators appeared, the entire cultivation world was shocked.

Ordinary True Core Sects often only had one True Dan Grandmaster.

The powerful ones had at most two to three.

The weaker ones were even in a state of lacking talent, with only a False Core Cultivator who achieved Dao through external pills, barely maintaining appearances.

Ten True Core Realm Cultivators... In the world, only two major forces could compare.

One was Great Shang, and the other was the Yellow Turban Army.

Great Shang Imperial Court.

"That Yuan Lian Old Ancestor has truly become a force to be reckoned with... The day he forced his way into the Imperial Court, I already sensed his extraordinary Divine Ability and wanted to bring him into the Imperial Court.

Unfortunately, his Heart-Nature was lofty, and he was unwilling to be subservient.

Henceforth, we can only forge a good relationship... Especially with Dan Chenzi, who is a close friend of the Yuan Lian Old Ancestor; we can leverage this connection.

At the very least, we must have the Imperial Advisor Yan Qing move around more.

Didn't that boy claim to be Dan Chenzi's Disciple?

Since Dan Chenzi is traveling and his whereabouts are unknown, let him serve as the bridge between Great Shang and Yuanlian Island."

"Old Ancestor, what you say is reasonable."

A group of imperial family members echoed.

Suddenly, Yin Tianxu frowned, as if he remembered something: "Oh, right. That Wu family line once offended this person on Yuanlian Island.

Issue an order to strip all members of the Wu family line from their clan registry and demote them to commoners.

Those who defy, kill!"

"This... wouldn't that be too extreme... After all, the Wu family line is the maternal family of that girl Wu Mingyue." An imperial True Dan Grandmaster inquired.

"Hmph, so what?

That girl does have some capabilities.

But, in front of us, it's just child's play.

If she listens, then she can sit firmly on the Dragon throne.

Otherwise... Hmph!

In the imperial clan, there are plenty of people who want to be emperor."

Three days later, the Wu family, a famous imperial relative in Jing Province, with thousands of members, were all demoted to commoners and exiled outside Jing Province, never to return.

Such an earth-shattering change naturally caused countless people to be astonished.

In the streets, a rumor gradually spread.

It seemed... it was related to Yuanlian Island.
