17: The Ninefold Golden Core Realm: Jiang Lianshan's Scheme

In the room, Xu Jinhuan took out that page of the golden book and began to Cultivate the Chaos God-Demon Visualization Method.

His Divine Soul power circulated, sketching out the outline of the God of the East bit by bit in his mind.

As the figure of the God of the East with a bird's body and human face gradually became complete, Xu Jinhuan's Divine Soul also gained a resilient and vibrant power.

His Soul Power surged, more than ten times what it was before.

At the same time, he felt that he could control it with ease, able to split it into three hundred tentacle branches and manipulate them with precision.

"Divine Soul Regeneration, Hundred Branches and Thousand Leaves, the third stage of the God of the East's Divine Ability, success!"

Very easily, Xu Jinhuan had Cultivated this Divine Soul Cultivation Technique to the third level, which was also the limit his current Realm could reach.

Of course, this was the limit of his Realm, not the limit of Xu Jinhuan himself.

As early as the first time he read the golden book, he had already thoroughly comprehended the entire Cultivation Technique!

The improvement from the Eternal Chaos Body was truly all-encompassing!

"Reaching this point with a Divine Soul at the Golden Core Realm is already the limit; next, it's time to improve my Cultivation."

Xu Jinhuan's thoughts stirred.

Pop~ A soft sound rang out, like an egg cracking.

The aura on Xu Jinhuan's body suddenly changed and began to soar rapidly.

Golden Core Realm second stage, third stage, fourth stage...

In just half an hour, he broke through eight Bottlenecks in succession, and his Realm directly reached the Golden Core Realm ninth stage.

The super-grade Golden Core within his body was round and flawless, like a scorching sun, majestic and unparalleled, unstoppable.

The Golden Core Realm had reached complete Perfection!

After this battle, Xu Jinhuan had gained some understanding of the Eternal Chaos Body's Foundation-solidifying ability and no longer suppressed his minor Realm Breakthroughs.

"As expected of a nine-star Physique, this ability is simply Heaven-Defying!"

Of course, he still had to wait for the major Realm. He wanted to forge a perfect Dao Foundation.

"The Divine Palace Realm, also known as the Purple Mansion Realm, is about constructing a Divine Palace within the Dantian Qi Sea to enshrine the Golden Core."

Xu Jinhuan recalled the information about the Realm that Li Qingyue had explained to him.

According to the size of the area opened up by the Cultivator, the Divine Palace is also divided into different Ranks: ten-thousand-mile Mud Pill, forty-thousand-mile Jade Chamber, seventy-thousand-mile Upper Palace, and ninety-thousand-mile Heavenly Palace.

Legend has it that the limit of the Divine Palace is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles; even an inch more would cause it to collapse.

"Limits are meant to be broken."

"If others cannot surpass it, it's because they are too weak."

Xu Jinhuan's eyes flickered.

"But I am different; I have the Eternal Chaos Body!"

Feeling the state within his body, he had a judgment on the timing of the Breakthrough.

"Once the Old Ancestor distributes the immortal medicine, it should be enough for my Breakthrough."

If this sentence were heard by Cultivators outside, they would definitely curse him for wasting such a treasure.

That is an immortal medicine, an extremely precious and priceless treasure.

For a Dao Prefecture to produce one immortal medicine within ten thousand years would be considered incredible luck.

Such a divine medicine could easily pull even a dying Saint-Realm expert back from the edge of the gates of hell.

Yet, for such a sacred treasure, you brat are actually using it to construct a Divine Palace. What a waste!

Xu Jinhuan also had something to say. The immortal medicine was obtained by his own ability, so he could use it however he pleased.

"Without realizing it, I've been in seclusion for three days; it's time to go out and take a look."

Since the items hadn't been distributed yet, Xu Jinhuan temporarily suppressed the idea of a Breakthrough, stretched, and stood up.

"Oh Revered Master, my dear Revered Master, this time I will surely make you return in defeat, leaving while holding onto the wall!"

...

In the Immortal Cave of the Seventeenth Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land.

Jiang Lianshan listened to the reports from Yuan Mengrou and several other subordinates, his expression dark and uncertain.

"Heh, what a Xu Jinhuan, what a number zero sequence."

"Ascending to the eight-hundredth floor at the Golden Core Realm is indeed a terrifying feat that is unprecedented and unlikely to be matched by anyone in the future!"

For his own Sect to produce a Prodigy should clearly be a cause for celebration.

But no one present dared to show a smile. Because this Prodigy had already trampled Jiang Lianshan's face into the mud.

Setting aside the identity of being an undercover agent, Jiang Lianshan was, at the very least, a Saint currently in the limelight.

To have his love interest snatched away publicly, all his recent efforts to build momentum had fallen short, becoming nothing but a stepping stone for Xu Jinhuan to become famous overnight.

How could he swallow this insult?!

"Surname Xu, Fang Qingyao, who is seventh on the peerless beauty ranking, is not so easy to recruit."

Jiang Lianshan's eyes rolled, and the expression on his face suddenly became playful. It seemed he had thought of something interesting.

"She is an orphan of a destroyed Primordial Clan, pursued by the Three Great Holy Lands simultaneously; even if they joined forces, even the Blood God Palace could not resist."

"Sacrifice the entire Taiyi Holy Land for a woman, or watch as his first follower dies and his reputation is ruined."

"I really wonder how you, this number zero sequence, will choose..."

"Hahaha..."

...

"Revered Master, do you need your disciple to help you?"

Inside the warm white jade canopy, Xu Jinhuan felt triumphant, gently embracing the delicate body beside him, forcing himself to endure his fatigue, and said with a smile.

Although he was also very tired, this time it was a genuine victory, a triumph with historical significance. A turning point in the second war!

Li Qingyue looked at the smug man in front of her, spat lightly, her eyes distant.

"Little bastard, Revered Master was just not in good condition this time, look at how smug you are!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Revered Master, I understand. You're not just in bad condition, you didn't sleep last night, you're too tired today, you have a bit of a cold..."

Xu Jinhuan was even more teasing, directly rattling off a string of excuses.

It made Li Qingyue blush, her ears turning red, feeling ashamed and on the verge of breakdown.

"Stop talking..."

The cold and arrogant Li Qingyue, who always sat high on the lotus throne like a flower on a high ridge, buried her head in Xu Jinhuan's chest for the first time ever.

Feeling the warm chest in front of her, Li Qingyue could clearly hear the powerful heartbeat inside. Steady, strong, and full of vitality.

Just like the owner of this heart was just now... What a little monster!

I don't know if it was the rhythmic beating of the heart that was too hypnotic, if Xu Jinhuan's chest was too secure, or if she was just exhausted. In the blink of an eye, Li Qingyue fell into a deep sleep.

Feeling the steady and even breathing of the person in his arms, Xu Jinhuan smiled slightly and also closed his eyes to sleep. After fighting for so long. It was just right, he was also a bit tired.

...

"Senior Sister Fang, are you getting used to being on the mountain? Doing these rough chores hasn't wronged you, has it?"

On the seventh day of being on the mountain, Xu Jinhuan asked Fang Qingyao, who had just finished cleaning.

During these seven days, Fang Qingyao, this follower, could only do some miscellaneous tasks, such as cleaning and tidying up things. She was completely treated like a maid.

If this matter were to spread, I'm afraid a large group of simps would be heartbroken on the spot.

"No, no grievance, as long as I can follow Sequence Xu, I will do anything!"

Fang Qingyao shook her head and answered firmly.

Although the gap from being a Core Disciple of the Holy Land to now playing the role of a maid was indeed very large. But she didn't care at all.

Because this man named Xu Jinhuan was too outstanding! As long as she could follow this man, she would do anything!

"That's good, I was worried you would find it hard to get used to." Xu Jinhuan nodded.

"By the way, Sequence Xu, I..." Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Fang Qingyao hesitated to speak.
