Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2197 - 776: Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Secret Treasure of the Sword Cavern
Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern.
Ever since Zhou Chun confirmed he could endure the Geng Metal Power within the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern, he embraced the life of a relentless cultivator.
He spent the majority of the year inside the cavern, absorbing and refining the Geng Metal Power to purify his own Mana.
Only when his body signaled exhaustion did he temporarily leave for a few days to rest in the Secret Mansion outside.
During his rest days, Zhou Chun also engaged with other cultivators in the Secret Mansion like Hou Bin, gaining a wealth of useful information.
According to Hou Bin, Tai Geng Divine Venerable and his incarnations rarely come to this Secret Mansion to cultivate, merely retaining ownership of it.
Cultivators like Hou Bin in the Secret Mansion are mostly marginal figures from their own Sects, with little chance for advancement there for various reasons.
Whenever their Sects needed to send cultivators to the Secret Mansion, they notified these fringe members, seeking their consent.
Those willing to come and cultivate in the Secret Mansion were each given a supporting Spiritual Object to aid in breaking through to the next realm, up to Nascent Soul Spirit Material!
Hence, their presence here was a matter of choice, not coercion.
Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Formation in the Secret Mansion, unless a figure like Hou Bin betrayed them, no cultivator, even if regretful, could truly escape.
Not to mention, with the deterrence of a Mahayana Phase Venerable, none would think they could escape!
However, they aren’t destined to die in the Secret Mansion.
Per the rules set by Tai Geng Divine Venerable, when they have one-tenth of their lifespan left, they may leave the Secret Mansion to pursue the life they desire, provided they don’t reveal the mansion’s location.
Even if they do disclose its location, the strength of the mansion’s Guardian Great Formation means there’s really nothing to worry about.
Should a strong Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator arrive, Hou Bin only needs to explain the situation, and the intruder would retreat obediently, perhaps even silencing the whistleblower!
For this reason, Zhou Chun made a mental note of those Sects’ names, planning to advise the Zhou Family cultivators to avoid conflicts with them upon his return.
After all, any Sect recognized by Tai Geng Divine Venerable must have an extraordinary relationship with him, and as part of his command, the Zhou Family should avoid disputes with allies.
The cultivation effect within the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern was indeed remarkable.
Much of Zhou Chun’s Mana had been enhanced through Elixirs and, truth be told, wasn’t as solid as that cultivated by stepping stone by stone.
But by refining it with the Geng Metal Power from the cavern, the quality of his Mana greatly improved, nearly rivaling that of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.
With such Mana quality improvement, the previously unshakeable barrier to the next realm began to tremble.
If he continued as Tai Geng Divine Venerable advised, persistently pressing forward, he would eventually break through that realm barrier.
As his ability to endure the Geng Metal Power within the cavern improved, Zhou Chun ventured deeper into the cave.
As he delved deeper, he realized why this place was named as such.
Because along the way, Zhou Chun noticed the initially empty cave began to fill with other things.
They were various Dharma Treasures, predominantly Flying Swords, but also other weapons like sabers, spears, and halberds.
These treasures were embedded in the cave walls or floor, some intact, others showing varying degrees of damage.
Initially, they were mostly Lower Grade Magical Treasures, but as Zhou Chun went further, Middle Grade and even High-Grade Magical Treasures appeared.
The deeper he went, the more intense and fierce the Geng Metal Power became, posing renewed immense pressure even for Zhou Chun who had adapted to the outer layer.
Naturally, cultivating deeper in the cavern would yield even better results.
In that sense, this cavern was indeed a cultivation paradise for cultivators like Zhou Chun with Golden Attribute Techniques.
As long as they could withstand the Geng Metal Power’s damage, they could establish an unparalleled foundation here!
Realizing this, Zhou Chun was no longer in a hurry to break through the realm barrier, instead curious about how far he could explore within the Myriad Fathom Sword Cavern!
As time passed, Zhou Chun wasn’t satisfied with merely purifying his Mana; he also used the abundant Geng Metal Power here to practice his Divine Ability Arts.
The [Formless Geng Metal Divine Light] Divine Skill showed delightful progress after absorbing and refining the Geng Metal Power from the cavern’s depths.
Even the [Falling Treasure Golden Light] Divine Skill seemed to benefit from Zhou Chun’s refined Mana, resulting in greatly accelerated cultivation progress.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Chun decisively chose to cultivate another Golden Attribute Divine Skill he hadn’t attempted before.
This skill was called [Heaven Gold Body Art], a Divine Skill that primarily enhanced physical defense.
But it wasn’t a Body Refinement skill; rather, it was a bona fide Mana Cultivation Skill.
Practitioners of this skill must use a Secret Technique to gather Golden Qi and refine it into "Sky Gold Essence," storing it within the Dantian.
