Chapter 567: Chapter 258: Ninth-Grade Golden Core, Second Lady of the House, Raising Troops to Demand Justice

Fu Changsheng fixed his gaze.

He saw that what was written on it was the Secrets of the Purple Mansion.

However, the further he read.

The more shocked he became.

This lengthy article mentioned.

Foundation Establishment and the Purple Mansion are the most crucial periods in laying the foundation for the path of cultivation. Whether the foundation of these two realms is solidly laid has a direct impact on how many grades of Golden Core can be formed later.

The lowest grade of Golden Core is the Ninth Grade, with no upper limit.

As for how to condense a Golden Core, this gold foil was evidently a fragmentary piece, as it did not mention it.

However.

Every step of the breakthrough to the Purple Mansion was described in great detail.

Moreover, compared to the ordinary method of breaking through to the Purple Mansion passed down by the Great Zhou Court, it was a heaven-shaking change, particularly in terms of opening the Niwan Palace.

The article mentioned.

The Niwan Palace is the residence of the Divine Soul, also known as the Upper Dantian.

The size of the domain opened within this dantian almost determines the potential for a cultivator after breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Therefore.

The first step in breaking through to the Purple Mansion is critically important.

And at this time, because the two dantians are not connected, a cultivator can only use the Power of Divine Sense to open the Niwan Palace; the stronger the divine sense, the broader the domain of the Purple Mansion that can be opened.

However.

Generally speaking.

Divine Sense is innate, and there are very few methods for its cultivation.

Therefore, the article mentioned that the second chance to expand the Purple Mansion domain is when the two dantians are connected. At that time, the True Liquid in the Lower Dantian will flow upwards through the opened apertures, expanding the Purple Mansion for the second time, which is the last opportunity.

The domain of the cultivator’s Lower Dantian is already fixed.

However.

Every aperture opened allows for one more opportunity to store True Liquid, effectively expanding the Lower Dantian.

Therefore. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This document mentioned.

To open the strongest Purple Mansion.

One needs to locate every aperture around the body and accumulate as much True Liquid as possible.

If one follows the method passed down by the Court for breaking through to the Purple Mansion and only opens seventeen apertures, the Purple Mansion opened will be the weakest, even if by luck, it manages to form a Golden Core, it will be merely the lowest Ninth Grade Golden Core.

Moreover.

Among the same tier in the Purple Mansion realm.

It is also the weakest existence.

Upon reaching the end.

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but shudder, his throat moving as he took a while to regain his composure.

At this moment.

Shangguan Hongyu had already put the gold foil away.

Her expression was solemn as she said:

"Changsheng, do you now understand why the Body Cultivation Technique is so precious?!"

In the Great Zhou.

It is almost universally accepted that the aptitude for Divine Sense is innate and cannot be improved upon.

Therefore.

The only way to defy fate is to open as many apertures as possible in one’s body.

However.

Without the Body Cultivation Technique.

The average person.

Would be limited to opening only thirty apertures at most.

If not for Hongyu’s guidance today, he might not have gone far on the path of cultivation, even with a system; after all, the foundation determines everything.

Fu Changsheng felt deeply moved.

Shangguan Hongyu cautioned:

"Changsheng, the Secrets of the Purple Mansion are currently known only to you, me, and my father; do not let it reach others’ ears."

"Mm, I understand."

Fu Changsheng nodded quickly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone the Golden Core Masters, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs exist. They have clearly reached such heights not with a Ninth Grade Golden Core, so this secret is surely known to the Court.

Fu Changsheng murmured in his heart:

"No wonder Low-Grade Noble Families are everywhere, but High-Grade Noble Families remain just a few."

Calming down.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and a box with white base and striped pattern drifted towards Shangguan Hongyu with a flash of Dawn Light. Shangguan Hongyu was momentarily stunned:

"Changsheng, what is this?"

"Hongyu, open it and see for yourself."

Shangguan Hongyu, full of curiosity, cast a technique into it and inside was a jade scroll. Pressing the jade scroll to her brow, a stream of information instantly flowed into her Sea of Divine Sense.

After quite some time.

Only then did Shangguan Hongyu put the jade scroll down.

At this moment, she was so moved that her hand holding the jade scroll was trembling slightly:

"Changsheng, you... this is too risky!!"

Changsheng had actually given her a Celestial Tier Technique.

In the entire Great Zhou.

Those who could achieve a Celestial Tier Technique were as rare as phoenix feathers.

A gift so grand.

The Secrets of the Purple Mansion she just gave in comparison were nothing.

Previously, Shangguan Hongyu was uncertain about Fu Changsheng’s feelings for her, but in this moment, she knew for sure that she held a place in his heart; otherwise, he would never have taken the risk to give her this Celestial Tier Technique. At this moment, Shangguan Hongyu’s gaze towards Fu Changsheng showed all the love previously concealed:

"Changsheng!"

This cry seemed to unleash emotions suppressed for years.

A tear suddenly slid from the corner of her eye.

Fu Changsheng had never seen this vulnerable side of Hongyu.

In this moment.

His heart was moved.

Almost involuntarily, he pulled her into his arms.

His breathing became suddenly rapid.

Just as he felt he might lose control.

Shangguan Hongyu blushed and quickly slipped out of his embrace, pushing him aside, tidying her scattered hair, her phoenix eyes smiling as she fixed her gaze on Fu Changsheng:

"This technique counts as the betrothal gift."

The implication being.

That Fu Changsheng should have a matchmaker propose marriage.

Fu Changsheng was elated.

Though worried that the old folks of the Shangguan Family might be hard to sway, now that he knew Hongyu’s heart, he believed he could overcome any obstacle to marry her.

Moreover.

He needed to discuss this matter with Meizhen in advance.

Shangguan Hongyu was evidently also aware of Fu Changsheng’s difficulties and quickly added:

"The marriage is not urgent, take your time."

After all, she had waited for over forty years already.
