Lu Yang naturally flipped past Eldest Senior Sisters page and looked at how the other senior brothers and sisters formed their Golden Cores. From what Lu Yang knew about Eldest Senior Sister, her method of forming a Golden Core was not something that could be replicated.

Lu Yang had heard that Eldest Senior Sister reached the extreme in every realm. When she shattered her core to form her Nascent Soul, she attracted terrifying divine lightning as a punishment.

It should be noted that its usually only when breaking through from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage that one attracts divine lightning. Attracting divine lightning at the Nascent Soul Stage was unprecedented!

One senior brother tried to imitate Eldest Senior Sisters method, hoping to form a Nascent Soul that would attract divine lightning. He spent countless efforts, repeatedly compressing the mana of the Golden Core Stage to solidify his foundation. Finally, he succeeded in shattering his core to form a Nascent Soul, attracting divine lightning.

To everyones surprise, this senior brothers Nascent Soul actively engaged, withstanding and defeating the divine lightning.

A Nascent Soul acting independently was something even Eldest Senior Sisters Nascent Soul could not achieve. It was equivalent to having a powerful clone, significantly increasing his combat power.

Just when people thought history was being made, this senior brothers Nascent Soul turned on him, defeating him thoroughly despite his desperate resistance.

Although he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he was no match for his own Nascent Soul.

In a sense, history was indeed made.

Daoist Non-Speaker tried to help this senior brother control his Nascent Soul. After several failed attempts, he had to destroy the Nascent Soul, advising the senior brother to shatter his core and form the Nascent Soul through other methods, not to seek unnecessary trouble by taking a different path.

Due to the embarrassing nature of the incident, only those within the sect knew about it.

As for the name of this senior brother, it was also a secret.

However, Lu Yang heard from Meng Jingzhous side that this embarrassing senior brother was the second disciple of Daoist Non-Speaker, his own second senior brother.

This senior brother was training in the Western Golden Buddhist Country, so Lu Yang had not yet met him. He had only seen his black-and-white portrait in the main hall of Heavens Gate Peak.

Sometimes, when praying for his second senior brothers successful training, Lu Yang would offer him incense to wish him well.

Lu Yang would also offer incense for his third senior sister, ensuring he did not favor one over the other.

Let me see Senior Brother Dai Bufans Golden Core. Water Exquisite Golden Core, top-grade Golden Core, pure and fragrant, spiritually rich but not cold, with a blue hue amidst the gold, rotating and cultivating itself in the dantian, converting spiritual power into waves that spread within, ensuring spiritual power is always at its peak state.

Cultivation method: Drink water daily to the point of water intoxication, then soak in a lake for ten days without emerging, imagining oneself as a fish freely swimming, with a body as fluid as water. Finally, use the dantian as a storage ring, utilizing the space power to absorb the lake water into the abdomen, merging it with ones spiritual power, and compressing it into a Golden Core.

Note one: Do not immerse yourself too deeply in the fish imagery to avoid biting a hook.

Note two: Report in advance when absorbing a lake into your abdomen to avoid imprisonment like I experienced.

Note three: Water intoxication is normal, prepare the corresponding elixirs beforehand.

Lu Yang found it hard to imagine what Senior Brother Dai Bufan had gone through when he saw the three notes.

Ah, its a water-attribute Golden Core. The Everlasting Fairys voice rang out.

Lu Yang was surprised: Fairy, youre not asleep yet?

Ill sleep after playing enough. The Everlasting Fairy waved her hand. Speaking of water-attribute Golden Cores, I remember encountering two opponents with water-attribute Golden Cores. Both had top-grade Golden Cores and were rare to match within the Golden Core Stage. If they teamed up, they were unstoppable.

Ones Golden Core was the Three Rivers Five Lakes Core, capable of mobilizing the forces of three rivers and five lakes, summoning river water. The others was the Boundless Ocean Core, capable of mobilizing the oceans power, summoning seawater.

Which of these Golden Cores is stronger? The Boundless Ocean Core? Lu Yang was curious since river forces seemed inferior to the ocean.

The Everlasting Fairy shook her head: The rivers power is indeed less than the ocean, but the Golden Core Stage cannot mobilize it all at once, theres a limit. The ultimate power of these two Golden Cores is almost the same, not much difference.

Lu Yang was even more curious. These two were both water-attribute top-grade Golden Cores. Functionally, they didnt seem much different, and their power was evenly matched.

Whats the difference between these two Golden Cores?

Of course, one releases freshwater, the other saltwater. The Everlasting Fairy said as if it was obvious, giving Lu Yang a look as if he were foolish.

Lu Yang:

You ancient cultivators had too much time on your hands, even differentiating between freshwater and saltwater Golden Cores.

Although they were quite powerful, they were no match for my Water-Avoidance Technique. The Everlasting Fairy tried to speak lightly, exuding the confidence of easily defeating enemies, but Lu Yang could see her barely concealed pride in the corners of her mouth.

Lu Yang silently admired her. The Everlasting Fairy, though unreliable in daily life, was indeed extraordinary. The ancient times were full of exceptional talents, the most brilliant period in history.

The fierce competition of the ancient era made it even more impressive that the Everlasting Fairy became one of the five immortals. Her path to immortality must have been paved with countless victories against formidable foes. How could her combat power be low?

Golden Cores are graded from one to nine, with one being the strongest and nine the weakest. Top-grade Golden Cores are as rare as gold in the sand. Even in a sect like Dao Seeking Sect, where every disciple is a genius, only a few have top-grade Golden Cores.

This speaks volumes about the power of top-grade Golden Cores.

Two top-grade Golden Cores teaming up must have been invincible, yet she defeated them with one move, a terrifying feat.

By the way, what was your cultivation level at that time, Fairy?

Nascent Soul Stage.

I knew it.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Lu Yang continued reading. After Senior Brother Dai Bufan came Senior Brother Ji Hongwen.

Four Seasons Green Bamboo Core, top-grade Golden Core, with bamboo patterns in the core, rotating through the seasons, the green bamboo remains unchanged, evergreen and elegant, tough and resilient, gentle as a gentleman.

Cultivation method: Bamboo begins to grow, an inch-long shoot, but already possessing nodes and leaves. Hence, painting bamboo requires having a complete image in mind, observing it closely, then imagining oneself as a bamboo shoot, feeding on bamboo, drinking bamboo juice, close to nature, comprehending nature. Wherever you look, you see greenery, thus forming the Golden Core.

Note one: Do not attempt this if you are not skilled at painting.

Note two: Beware of attacks from giant pandas while meditating in the bamboo forest, they may think youre stealing their food.

Note three: This method is limited to green bamboo, do not extend it to other plants like cacti or rafflesias.

It was evident that both Senior Brother Dai Bufan and Senior Brother Ji Hongwen had unique experiences forming their Golden Cores.
