91: The Golden Immortal's Cave has nothing to do with me.

Su Ling was very confused; that final wisp of Divine Soul clearly belonged to him.

Yet it had appeared out of thin air and naturally merged into the Golden Core.

He could feel that at this moment, his Divine Soul and Golden Core had completely fused.

The Dharmic power generated within the Golden Core felt like an extension of his own limbs; every gesture and movement carried immense power.

Previously, when using the Ghost Soul Arrow, he still needed a brief moment to charge it up.

Now, however, he could condense and fire it with just a single thought.

The Nine Nether Secret Record was only a remnant volume; many details of cultivation were not explained as clearly as in the Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman.

Whether it was the purple-gold luster or those nine deep-blue patterns, Su Ling had never heard of them before.

“If I had known, I should have learned more about common knowledge of the Core Formation Stage from Senior Sister Yun or Brother Lu Tao.”

Su Ling sighed softly. As a Loose Cultivator, he spent most of his time groping his way forward.

He truly lacked systematic knowledge of the cultivation world.

After all, whether it was the Nine Nether Secret Record or the Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman, they were like textbooks.

They only recorded content related to cultivation and offered little description of differentiated knowledge.

Su Ling didn't know what level his Nine-Pattern Purple-Gold Golden Core actually occupied.

Furthermore, during the process of Core Formation, Su Ling clearly felt the power of countless Wandering Souls coming from beneath the ground and merging into his Golden Core.

This led him to secretly speculate that finding a place rich in the power of Wandering Souls was likely the correct way to achieve Core Formation using the Nine Nether Secret Record.

Fortunately, during the sea beast siege thirty years ago, the island protection array had blasted and killed an unknown number of low-tier sea beasts.

Later, when human Cultivators tentatively ventured out of the city, many more Wandering Souls were added.

Overall, the sea beasts and human Cultivators who perished outside Minghuan City numbered at least in the millions.

Regardless, the end result was good.

“Now that I have achieved Core Formation, I should go familiarize myself with my new abilities.”

Su Ling brought the Golden Core back into his Qi Sea, swallowed a Pure Spirit Pill to recover Dharmic power, quickly packed up the various items in the Immortal Cave, and turned to leave... A Core Formation Cultivator can fly using their own Dharmic power. The speed of an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator is generally four to five hundred miles every two hours.

Those with more brilliant escape techniques can reach a thousand or even several thousand miles.

After leaving the Immortal Cave, Su Ling tried to operate the Thunder Escape Technique recorded in the Azure Heaven Thunder Treasure Talisman.

His figure transformed into a streak of azure lightning, escaping a hundred zhang away in an instant.

“Speed per hour: five thousand miles!”

With a rough estimation, Su Ling judged that his current escape speed was actually twice as fast as the Low Grade Magic Treasure, the cloud sparrow boat.

Of course, the consumption of Dharmic power was much greater than that of the cloud sparrow boat.

With Su Ling's reserves of Dharmic power, he could at most maintain it for four hours.

In terms of endurance, it certainly couldn't compare to the cloud sparrow boat.

But for escaping or combat, it was an extremely sharp method.

This was precisely the strength of lightning-type and wind-type Cultivators.

After experimenting for a while to get used to the sudden increase in speed, Su Ling intended to head outside the city to test other methods.

But before he could fly far, a majestic and incomparably vast aura rose from the distant sea.

“A True Immortal?!”

“No, it's a Golden Immortal!”

“Wait, this is... a Golden Immortals Cave Mansion!!!”

Meng Changge and many Soul Transformation Cultivators flashed into the Void Realm, looking at that pillar of light piercing the sky in the distance. Feeling the aura of Law contained within, they couldn't help but cry out in shock.

Over countless years, the Yaoxing Sea had long been dotted with various cave mansion Secret Realms.

Even cave mansions left behind by True Immortals were a common sight.

But a Golden Immortals Cave Mansion was appearing for the first time.

“Haha, the Golden Immortals Cave Mansion has appeared! Meng Changge, this seat won't be playing with you anymore!”

Above Minghuan Island, the Sea Overturning Demon King laughed loudly. The Flying Boat beneath him flashed and vanished into the sky.

With its departure, the Restriction array that had been shrouding Minghuan Island also dissipated.

The communication jade slips within the storage artifacts of various Cultivators began to vibrate frantically.

“A Golden Immortals Cave Mansion has appeared! We must report to the Sect immediately!”

“Don't bother, the Sect's True Immortals must have felt it! Let's hurry and follow!”

“Go quickly! Don't let the Sea Race take the lead!”

“It's too late. If this old man is not mistaken, the Sea Race's siege of the islands was likely to divert attention and buy time to open the cave mansion.”

“We still have to go!”

One by one, Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul Cultivators took to the sky, steering all kinds of Flying Boats and flying beasts, heading straight for the location of that pillar of light.

Above True Immortal is Golden Immortal.

Golden Immortals are further divided into ordinary Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Who knows if this cave mansion was opened by an ordinary Golden Immortal or if it was a blessed land of a Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Regardless, a Golden Immortal was already the highest combat power of the various Sects in the Canglang Plane.

Among the Sea Race, not a single Golden Immortal had been born to this day.

Meng Changge had long received news that Biao Island was besieged by seven Demon Immortals, but the veteran Demon Immortals had not shown their faces.

The other side took advantage of the Sects' Golden Immortals being away to go through such trouble to divert attention.

It was feared that the treasures within that Golden Immortals Cave Mansion had already been mostly plundered by those veteran Demon Immortals of the Sea Race by now.

“A Golden Immortals Cave Mansion...”

Su Ling flew into mid-air, looking at the pillar of light piercing the sky that faintly carried immortal radiance.

Just feeling the aura coming from an unknown distance made his heart shudder.

One could imagine that if one were to get close, never mind entering the cave mansion.

Even just standing would likely be a problem.

The bit of complacency from just promoting to the Core Formation Stage vanished in an instant.

“No matter what Golden Immortals Cave Mansion it is, it’s not something I can participate in right now.”

Su Ling shook his head self-mockingly and continued to fly outward.

Outside Minghuan Island, many Tier 3 sea beasts still remained.

The urgent priority was to first replenish the Divine Souls within the ten thousand souls banner and familiarize himself with his own combat power.

Afterwards, Su Ling planned to return to Thousand Star City and use the teleportation array there to head to Jinyang Island, where the Haoyang Sect was located.

After all, he had received the legacy of the Haoyang Sect's Soul Transformation true disciple, Pei Jianbai, and had promised to return the man's remains to his Sect. It was better to complete this matter as soon as possible... Three months later, Su Ling finally completely stabilized his Core Formation Stage cultivation.

Various legends about the Golden Immortals Cave Mansion had also spread throughout the entire Yaoxing Sea.

In his spare time, Su Ling also heard a lot of information.

It was said that the Seven Great Sects had all sent True Immortal experts to compete for it.

However, the top-tier combat power of the Seven Great Sects had never appeared in the Yaoxing Sea.

It seemed they had all gone to some Outer Realm Battlefield, such that according to rumors, the most precious treasures of the Golden Immortals Cave Mansion were all snatched away by the veteran True Immortals of the Sea Race.

The two sides fought so hard in the sea region hundreds of thousands of miles away that the world seemed to turn upside down.

A large number of Soul Transformation Cultivators were caught in the aftermath and perished.

Dozens of Body Integration Stage sea beasts and human Cultivators had also fallen.

Even the immortal bodies of a certain True Immortal and a Demon Immortal were shattered, with only their Primordial Spirits escaping.

To this, Su Ling expressed that it was none of his business.

At the Treasure Pavilion, he found a copy of introduction to cultivation, which recorded common knowledge of the cultivation world.

Su Ling then bid farewell to Gu Chaoren and took a large sea ship to Thousand Star City, tens of thousands of miles away.

With the speed of the cloud sparrow boat, he could have arrived in just a few days.

But the Yaoxing Sea was not peaceful now; compared to crossing the sea alone, a large sea ship was more reliable.

Therefore, Su Ling did not hesitate to spend several thousand Spirit Stones to find a sea ship guarded by a Body Integration Stage great Cultivator.
