Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 528: The Golden Core Returns to the Sect
After more than a hundred breaths.
After Shen Xuan had gone far away.
Wu Yulan, who had been maintaining a bow, finally stood up slowly.
Behind her, a Demon Cultivator of the Blood Spirit Sect asked, "Saintess Yulan, who was that person, with such a strong aura!"
Wu Yulan’s mouth revealed a slight smile.
"That is an old friend of mine, True Master Shen Xuan."
"It’s him!"
Behind her, several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators changed their expressions.
Back then, during the conflict between the Dao and the Demons, Shen Xuan slew thousands of Demon Cultivators in one breath.
Even Yuwen Jun of the Yuwen family was directly killed.
It is said that at the time, Yuwen Demon Sovereign manifested a demon shadow, pleading with Shen Xuan to spare his offspring.
Shen Xuan didn’t give an ounce of face.
His name is like a demon within Liang Country’s Blood Spirit Sect.
"Has this person formed a True Pill?"
"True Pill?"
Wu Yulan let out a charming laugh.
"If Yulan is not mistaken, True Master Shen should be a Golden Core."
"Golden Core True Master!"
The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators gasped in unison.
Back then, Shen Xuan was just at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he slaughtered the Demon Cultivators of Cyan Yang Prefecture leaving heads rolling.
Now, he has formed a Golden Core.
This made these Demon Cultivators’ hearts tremble.
One of the Demon Cultivators rolled his eyes.
"Congratulations to Saintess Yulan, your old friend has formed a Golden Core. With such a friend, Saintess Yulan will surely form a Core and become a Demon Sovereign!"
The other Demon Cultivators awoke from their dreams.
It was rumored that Shen Xuan had a deep relationship with Zhou Bailian from the Valley of Beasts.
Unexpectedly, he also had ties with Wu Yulan.
Reflecting on the previous Dao-Demon war, of the three great Demon Cultivator leaders of Cyan Yang Prefecture, only Wu Yulan remained.
Just now, Shen Xuan made a special visit to see Wu Yulan and broke the formation before leaving.
These Demon Cultivators all saluted.
"Congratulations to Saintess Yulan, your old friend has formed a Golden Core!"
For a moment, everyone was beaming as if they had all formed an alliance with the Golden Core True Master Shen Xuan from the Cyan Cloud Sect.
...
On Dragonfly Island, the sea breeze remained the same.
Shen Xuan’s figure quietly appeared in front of the Island Master’s cave mansion, his aura restrained, still appearing as Late Stage Foundation Establishment.
However, news of his Core Formation in Lu Country eventually reached the upper echelons of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
"Senior Brother Shen, a secret message from Lu Country has arrived, saying you have successfully formed a Core?"
"Master has ordered me to definitely bring Senior Brother Shen back to Cold Jade Peak."
A cool figure had long been waiting at the entrance of the Island Master’s cave mansion, it was Junior Sister Liu Bingyu.
She curiously observed this increasingly youthful Senior Brother Shen, her clear eyes filled with questions.
With Shen Xuan’s current Perfect Level "Thousand Transformations" skill, Liu Bingyu couldn’t detect his true realm cultivation.
However, Shen Xuan’s temperament appeared more composed.
Master had received confirmed information.
Senior Brother Shen had at least formed a True Pill.
Otherwise, Lu Country wouldn’t risk revealing their identity to send a secret message.
Liu Bingyu even released a wisp of Divine Sense, repeatedly scanning Shen Xuan from top to bottom.
"Oh!"
It was only at this moment that she realized that although Shen Xuan’s aura was of the same origin as hers, it had subtle differences.
Profound and unfathomable, like an abyss.
Liu Bingyu’s charming face showed a hint of uncontrollable joy.
"That’s great, Senior Brother Shen, you can’t deceive me!"
She took a step forward, her voice crisp with a hint of happiness, "Your ’True Ice Heart Technique’ has reached great success, hasn’t it?"
"You have formed an Ice Technique True Pill!"
"Senior Brother Shen, hurry back to the Sect with me!"
"Master will be pleased to see you’ve formed a Core."
"Ah, if it’s a Golden Core, that would be even better!"
However, Liu Bingyu was only speaking casually.
She instinctively believed that Shen Xuan was a True Pill True Master.
The Cyan Cloud Sect has only produced one Golden Core True Master in a hundred years.
As for an Ice Technique Golden Core, the last one was a thousand years ago.
The difference in combat strength between a Golden Core and a True Pill is obvious.
Generally speaking, it takes three True Pills to contend with one Golden Core.
This is only in the early stage of Core Formation.
The difference becomes greater as one progresses.
The positions of Golden Core and True Pill within the Sect are vastly different.
Moreover, generally speaking, only Golden Cores have the possibility of forming a Nascent Soul.
For ordinary True Pills, forming a Nascent Soul is an extremely remote possibility.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan’s expression remained calm and he said indifferently, "I’ll handle the island’s affairs and then return to the Sect."
He did not explicitly mention the Golden Core.
Liu Bingyu, being only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could not see through his true realm cultivation.
Next, Shen Xuan entrusted Xiao Changbing with matters regarding Dragonfly Island.
Then, he tidied up the spiritual beasts and spirit plants in the cave mansion, and returned to Qing Yun Immortal City with Su Xue’Er, Ding Yijin, Ding Mingyue, and Shangguan Qing Feng.
They all rested for a day at Shen Mansion.
Shen Xuan rewarded Ding Yijin, Ding Mingyue, and Shangguan Qing Feng with two Foundation Establishment Pills each.
He exchanged some low-tier spiritual objects to distribute to his nominal descendants.
Then, he returned to the Cyan Cloud Sect with Su Xue’Er and Liu Bingyu.
...
At the mountain gate of the Cyan Cloud Sect, fairy mist lingered and spiritual birds chirped softly.
A flying ship stopped.
Shen Xuan, Su Xue’Er, and Liu Bingyu disembarked from the flying ship onto the White Jade Square in front of the mountain gate.
A figure exuding a chilly aura hurried forward; it was Junior Sister Fang Huixue.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Liu! You’re finally back!"
Fang Huixue’s charming face was full of joy, her voice crisp like a bell.
As she spoke, she sent a communication talisman into the Sect.
The communication talisman, flashing with cyan light, transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Cold Jade Peak.
The few Foundation Establishment disciples guarding the mountain, upon hearing Fang Huixue call out "Senior Brother," and seeing the young and handsome Shen Xuan, changed their expressions and bowed in greeting, "Welcome, True Master Shen, back to the Sect!"
One seasoned disciple immediately took out a Communication Talisman to inform the Sect True Master.
Shen Xuan nodded slightly to the mountain-guarding disciples, and calmly walked to the side to the "Sect Return Register," using his finger as a pen, gently exhaled Spiritual Power, leaving his name and a trace of spiritual energy imprint on it.
A beam of brilliant light flashed across the jade book, clearly recording his Ice Technique Golden Core spiritual power.
Shen Xuan had just completed the registration.
The sound of breaking through the air rang out.
Several beams of Escape Light with potent spiritual pressure sped towards like meteors.
The next moment, the light scattered, revealing the figures of several Sect True Masters.
The person at the forefront was none other than the sect leader Mysterious Trace True Master of Cyan Cloud Sect.
Beside him was True Master Ling Xiao with a complex expression.
Shen Xuan’s master, True Master Cold Jade, arrived almost simultaneously.
"Disciple Shen Xuan, greets the Master."
This time, Shen Xuan bypassed the sect leader Mysterious Trace True Master and was the first to salute True Master Cold Jade.
Ritual cannot be neglected.
Having achieved the Golden Core, he could refer to True Master Mysterious Trace and others as Senior Brother.
But True Master Cold Jade was always his Master.
True Master Cold Jade looked at Shen Xuan with a trace of excitement in her eyes.
Not long after, True Master Celestial Wind, True Master Celestial Thunder, True Master Tong Xuan, True Master Chong Xu, True Master Jade Sun, Chang Chun True Master, and others arrived one after another.
In an instant, the usually solemn and dignified mountain gate of Cyan Cloud Sect gathered ten True Masters.
The majestic pressure of True Masters made surrounding Foundation Establishment disciples including Liu Bingyu and Fang Huixue, with their breaths hurried, bow in greeting.
At this time, the front of Cyan Cloud Sect’s mountain gate became increasingly lively.
Disciples who got the news of Cyan Cloud Sect gathered continuously.
All eyes focused on Shen Xuan, filled with shock, doubt, envy, admiration, and a touch of indescribable pride.
After all, everyone is a disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect.
Previously, they used to call each other Senior Brother.
Mysterious Trace True Master, with eyes like electricity, carefully observed Shen Xuan.
He practiced Pupil Technique, his spiritual eyes were exceptional.
At the moment, in Mysterious Trace True Master’s eyes, brilliance flashed, unable to resist clapping and praised.
"What a Shen Xuan! Cold Jade couldn’t be wrong, you are indeed Golden Core material!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
With the status and position of Mysterious Trace True Master, it was impossible to be wrong.
Beside him, True Master Celestial Wind and True Master Celestial Thunder were moved.
True Master Cold Jade was smiling broadly, fully unable to suppress the feeling of pride.
"Senior Brother Mysterious Trace, is Shen Xuan an ordinary Golden Core, or an Ice Technique Golden Core?"
True Master Celestial Wind asked with a solemn expression.
The same Golden Core, there are differences,
not to mention the grades of high, mid, and low.
Even the attribute of the Golden Core also determines its future path and combat power.
True Master Ling Xiao, being a Golden Core, was just an ordinary Golden Core.
Celestial Wind Celestial Thunder, Hidden Mysterious Trace, Spirit Sword hold the peaks.
These five major Golden Core True Masters are not ordinary Spirit Roots.
They respectively possess Wind, Thunder, Hidden, Illusion, and Sword types of Abnormal Spirit Roots.
"How can Junior Brother Celestial Wind have such a question? With Cold Jade personally guiding, naturally it is an Ice Technique Golden Core."
Mysterious Trace True Master’s words were like a boulder falling into water, stirring up a thousand waves.
Despite early speculations, hearing it confirmed orally by the sect leader, confirming it’s an Ice Technique Golden Core, caused all True Masters present to be deeply shaken.
Such a young Golden Core Cultivator, who condensed an Ice Technique Golden Core with Abnormal Spirit Root, has an unlimited future.
True Master Cold Jade said seriously, "Senior Brother Celestial Wind, though I haven’t condensed a Golden Core, it does not mean my disciple cannot condense one."
"If you are willing, you can personally validate it."
What Shen Xuan obtained was her Ice Technique inheritance.
She naturally saw right away that Shen Xuan condensed an Ice Technique Golden Core.
True Master Celestial Wind’s eyes were complex, eventually turned into a long sigh, and cupped his hands saying, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Shen for achieving Golden Core Great Success, the Great Path is expectable!"
Other True Masters reacted accordingly, regardless of their thoughts, all showed smiles at this moment and expressed their congratulations.
Ahead of the mountain gate, there was a chorus of congratulations.
Shen Xuan stood at the center of everyone, facing the attention and congratulations from all True Masters with a calm expression, respectfully returning the salute, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Junior Brother luckily achieved Core Formation, many thanks to Master Cold Jade, Master Gu Feng for their teaching. Many thanks to the sect leader and various Senior Brothers for their guidance."
This statement is quite significant.
Shen Xuan placed True Master Cold Jade and True Master Gu Feng at the forefront, still referring to them as Masters.
In the future, True Master Cold Jade and True Master Gu Feng, in Cyan Cloud Sect, their status will rise sharply.
Whereas other True Masters, including the sect leader Mysterious Trace True Master, Shen Xuan could refer to them as Senior Brother.
All True Masters looked at Shen Xuan and nodded slightly.
No matter what, Shen Xuan’s statement, under the public eye, was definitive.
True Master Gu Feng was also his Master.
At this moment, True Master Gu Feng did not come out to greet, being in an awkward position.
She merely brought Shen Xuan into the sect.
Has not contributed much to Shen Xuan’s cultivation.
Initially, he was just a Registered Disciple.
Later, even though he transitioned to a Direct Disciple, not much assistance was provided in his cultivation.
Afterward, Shen Xuan switched allegiance to Cold Jade Peak.
The so-called Dual Peak Direct, merely left True Master Gu Feng face.
Everyone knows, Shen Xuan carries no trace of Little Gu Peak inheritance.
Now, he formed an Ice Technique Golden Core.
It’s inherited from True Master Cold Jade.
Within the crowd, a familiar figure quietly vanished.
It was Gu Jinqin who has been stationed at Little Gu Peak.
She should have returned to report to True Master Gu Feng, requesting her presence.
Amidst swirls and gathering winds, Golden Core returns to the sect.
Mysterious Trace True Master ordered Cyan Cloud Sect to inform all mid-sized or above sects in Song Country.
Three months later, Cyan Cloud Sect hosts the Core Formation ceremony, celebrating the sect’s disciple Shen Xuan condensing an Ice Technique Golden Core.
From this moment, Shen Xuan’s identity is entirely different.
At least on equal footing with True Master Ling Xiao.
In the future, sure to surpass True Master Ling Xiao and enter the core circle of Cyan Cloud Sect.
If he is willing.
Will be a strong contender for the next Cyan Cloud Sect leader.
Only, Shen Xuan has other plans.
