Chapter 1

Once the Golden Core was formed, one would shed the mortal and return to the true Dao.

After the Chunyang Daoist Palace closed its doors for ten years, a blooming lotus stood in the sky. The lotus bloomed in ten colors and had three grades. The thirty-six lotus petals were divided into three layers, and a glazed Dao light shone in the center of the lotus. Tian Cang Peak's Spirit Qi was once again devoured by Jiang Yuanchen, just like what happened ten years ago.

Several Golden Core cultivators in the other cave abodes seemed to have sensed it and started to resist this powerful devouring force. A scroll flew out from Yang Ling's white jade palace and stood in the sky above the Daoist Palace. Nine-colored auspicious clouds connected to a large array and locked the Spirit Qi in the sky.

"Second senior brother has made the first move?" Mu Qingyi smiled sweetly, writing a spirit talisman and tossing it into the air.

Speaking of which, the Taixu Taoism's ninth generation disciples had a clear division of labor. Lin Zixuan made weapons, Yang Ling fixed arrays, Jiang Yuanchen refined pills, and Mu Qingyi drew talismans. Mu Qingyi's current Talisman Dao cultivation could be said to be the best among the four.

The talisman flew into the air and a golden light shone on her ice palace. The gold and silver colors shone as she used her talisman Dao runes to seal the Void's Spirit Qi.

"Senior Brother, let us see what's so amazing about the secret technique you've been cultivating for ten years!" Mu Qingyi looked up at the lotus and muttered to herself.

Wei Gong was not around and Chu Chaoyun was out searching for the Core Formation opportunity. There were only a few people left on Tian Cang Peak. Under Jiang Yuanchen's devouring force, Mu Qingyi and Yang Ling could protect themselves, but the others could do nothing. They could only watch the Spirit Qi being devoured by Jiang Yuanchen.

"Junior Brother, you're finally out?" Lin Zixuan chuckled. The Azure Yang Dharma Form stood on the mountain peak and a large Essence Qi hand slapped towards the lotus above Jiang Yuanchen's Pure Yang Daoist Palace. Then, green clouds covered Tian Cang Peak and protected all the disciples' cave abodes.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother!" A golden light shot out from the lotus and stopped the large Essence Qi hand. Jiang Yuanchen's voice was heard.

Flawless Dao Core! Reverend Ning was already in seclusion. During this period of time, Reverend Jing Yuan was guarding the mountain gate. When he saw the phenomenon, he immediately stood up.

Without the obstruction of the Heavenly Demon, and without the interference of the tribulations, Jiang Yuanchen successfully reached the last step with his perfect Dao Heart. He condensed the Flawless Dao Core according to the cultivation method that was most suitable for him.

The moment the Dao Core was truly formed, he had an epiphany.

The so-called Flawless Dao Core referred to a Golden Core that was most compatible with one's body. Jiang Yuanchen was not the first person to successfully cultivate this Dao Core. In the past, many of the founders who were able to create their own Dao Core cultivation methods were also like this.

Everyone had a chance to condense a flawless Dao core. This was their most orthodox Dao path, one that was most compatible with their body and had the highest chance of becoming a Primordial Spirit. Even the most heaven-defying person would find it difficult to find the most suitable path for themselves because they had been influenced by their predecessors! However, later generations imitated their path to Core Formation. No matter how heaven-defying they were, it was still very difficult for them to find the most suitable path for themselves because they had already been influenced by their predecessors! Therefore, even if he was lucky enough to achieve the so-called first-grade Dao Core, in Jiang Yuanchen's classification, it was only a second-grade Dao Core.

"It's just as the old man guessed!" Perfected Jing Yuan passed the news to Perfected Lingxu after learning of Jiang Yuanchen's enlightenment.

"Sure enough, it's just as the old man guessed!" Perfected Jing Yuan passed the news to Perfected Spirit Xu after learning of Jiang Yuanchen's enlightenment.

The fact that the Ninth Grade Alchemy Dao could exist until now naturally meant that it had its merits. But the people who came later were confused about one thing. But the people who came later gradually got confused about one thing. Grade 1 Dao Pills were unique, because these Dao Pills were most compatible with the Dao Pills of those predecessors. It was wrong for the later generations to cultivate these Dao Cores and call these Golden Cores that imitated the Golden Cores of their predecessors as First Grade! The people who came later were wrong to call the Dao Core the First Grade!

So, if he wanted to form a real Dao Core, he needed to find his own path? Jing Yuan could not help but feel sorry for Lin Zixuan. Jiang Yuanchen's True Core was only a three-colored spiritual light, but Lin Zixuan's Dao Core was a nine-colored one. He was only one step away from the Dao Core. In addition to the compatibility of their paths, it was also because of his strong potential. But just following the path of his predecessors had caused him a lot of trouble.

"You deserve it. I told you to wait a few days, but you didn't listen. Otherwise, you would have been able to form a Dao Core." Jing Yuan naturally understood that the so-called Dao Core was a real Dao Core.

After Jiang Yuanchen formed his Dao Core, the mirror in Heavenly Gate Dao suddenly sensed something. The Patriarch of Heavenly Gate Dao looked in the direction of Taixu Taoism thoughtfully. "My Dao is not lonely! I didn't expect that when the so-called Dao of Alchemy was slowly going astray, there would still be someone who could truly form a Dao Core! "

In the era of the Patriarch of Heavenly Gate, the division of Dao Cores was not perfect. The Patriarch of Heavenly Gate followed the ancient Dao Sect's method of polishing the Dao foundation. At that time, there were several people who could form a Dao Core every hundred years. Later, when those descendants saw the unparalleled power of their predecessors' Golden Core, they began to imitate their Golden Core cultivation. In the end, they could no longer escape the control of their predecessors.

Now that the Patriarch of Heavenly Gate saw someone forming a Dao Core and a Dao Core, he was naturally happy and came to the Cloud Sect. "Tong 'er, go to the back mountain and get a basket of red dates to send to Taixu Taoism. Tell him that the Taoist priest congratulates the Dao Sect for returning to the right path!" The Heavenly Gate Dao had always adhered to the Dao Sect's philosophy. Every generation of disciples formed their own Dao Cores. Even if they couldn't form a Dao Core, they would form a Dao Core with three, five, or even nine colors.

"Yes!" The Cloud Sect was now ranked sixth among all the disciples. After the Heavenly Gate Realm incident came to an end, they also formed their Dao Core. Their Real Core had nine colors, and they were only one step away from forming a Dao Core. After hearing his master's words, he didn't say much. He went to the back mountain to get a basket of thousand-year-old spirit dates and sent it to Taixu Taoism.

Taixu Taoism, Chunyang Daoist Palace. "Why can't I grow up!" Jiang Yuanchen looked at his current appearance, which was only that of a four or five-year-old child, and began to feel depressed again.

The growth of born Taoist aptitude was different from that of others. Jiang Yuanchen spent ten years to re-form his Golden Core, but he only looked like he was four or five years old. At this rate, if he wanted to regain his appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, he would need to enter the fourth stage of Golden Core.

An illusion mirror flew out from the top of his head, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist in black clothes went out to meet guests. After using an illusion to conceal himself from Mu Qingyi and the others, he looked at his current cultivation situation again.

Now, he could be considered to have truly formed his Golden Core and set foot on the true path of cultivation.

In the Sea of Consciousness in the Mind Realm, the Yin Spirit had the Lunar Cold Moon above its head, and a red Yang Qi was entangled on the silver moon. If the sun and moon shone together in the future, and the Divine Spirit Brilliant Sun was condensed, Jiang Yuanchen would be able to transform the Yin Spirit into the Yang Spirit and step into the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The Heavenly Pillar was rebuilt, and the Four Seas were replayed. Compared to the original Niwan Palace, it now had a more majestic atmosphere. In the Eastern Sea of Clouds, the Qi of Dao was tumbling, and an innate Qi of Primordial Dao was suppressing the center of the sea of clouds, developing the Qi of Primordial Dao. The Qi of Primordial Dao was the innate Qi at the beginning of the world. Prince Mo Tian had unknowingly given him a great gift.

In the Southern Sea of Dreams, a virtual shadow of the Dream Realm was playing in the illusion mirror. Now, Jiang Yuanchen controlled the dreams of all living beings in the Wing State, and he began to reach out to the Spiritual State, slowly collecting the faith power of all living beings.

In the Western Dead Sea, the place that Jiang Yuanchen was most afraid of. In the center of the Dead Sea, a golden lotus was firmly rooted, and a black eye that looked like a devil eye appeared on the pitch-black water surface. From time to time, a lifeless sword would jump out of the water. In the Buddhist Dao, Demon Dao, and Witch Dao, after Jiang Yuanchen replayed the Heaven Lotus Treasured Scripture, these external daos were suppressed in the Dead Sea and kept a respectful distance from them.

In the Northern Nether Sea, the incarnation of the Kun Fish stayed here to refine the water essence. After Jiang Yuanchen formed his Golden Core, although the incarnation of the Kun Fish didn't advance, its immense power was not inferior to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Looking at the flawless Dao Core in his body, the pure Dao Core didn't even have Dan Sha Qi.

There were six realms in the Qi Refining Spirit Realm: Inner Core, Essence Transformation, Mystic Light, Astral Projection, Heavenly Unity, and Spirit Focus.

Nurturing the Golden Core was just the process of consolidating the Dao foundation. After forming the flawless Dao Core, one only needed to go into seclusion to adapt to the Golden Core, and then one could smoothly enter the second realm.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of the Dao Core was to cultivate. Why bother wasting a hundred years in the first realm?

After the Essence Transformation Realm was to refine all the Dan Sha Qi in the Golden Core and return a pure Dao Core for the evolution of the Life Spiritual Light.

In the Profound Light Realm, the Life Spiritual Light was the fundamental magical power of every cultivator. It was the derivation of one's own Dao Fruit. The Dao Light condensed by the flawless Dao Core was undoubtedly the most suitable for oneself.

The cultivation method of these three realms had already been mastered by Jiang Yuanchen, and it was also deduced one by one in the Heaven Lotus Treasured Scripture.

After going into seclusion for a month to familiarize himself with the Dao Body, he smoothly entered the second realm – Essence Transformation.

"It's a pity that I have used up all the Dan Sha Qi on my body, plus the demand for spiritual power is too high. It will take a long time for me to enter the next realm."

Jiang Yuanchen didn't have Dan Sha Qi. Although he didn't have the means to use Dan Sha Qi to repel the enemy, his future path was smooth. He only needed to fill the Golden Core and open the Profound Light. However, according to Jiang Yuanchen's Dao Core, it would still take decades of cultivation to fill the Dao Core.

After thinking for a while, a rainbow light flew to the Great Pure Yang Palace to look for Xun Yang.

Although it was inconvenient for Jiang Yuanchen to show his true body, after cultivating in the sect for more than ten years, he should pay a visit to the Sect Master.

"In the past, when Master Xun took over the position of Sect Master, disciple didn't personally congratulate him because of cultivation. I hope Sect Master doesn't blame me." Now that the Great Pure Yang Palace had changed masters, the surrounding palace furnishings were also changed by Xun Yang to the cloud and thunder patterns that he liked.

The brilliant sun sat high in the throne, and the surrounding clouds, thunder, wind, and rain flowed on the walls, as if he was in the sky.

"En." Xun Yang changed into the Purple Sun Daoist Robe and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Now that you have achieved a true first-grade Dao Core, you have pointed out the right path of cultivation for our Taixu Taoism. This is a great contribution." Looking at Jiang Yuanchen, the five-year-old child was wearing a fitting green short-sleeved shirt, carrying a purple gold gourd that was the same size as his body, and holding a ruyi in his hand, he looked like a charmingly naive child.

Essence Transformation Realm! Xun Yang secretly praised: As expected of a flawless Dao Core, this realm of cultivation is already comparable to many of his Martial Uncles.

"You have accumulated a lot of experience and achieved your current realm with the help of the Innate Dao Constitution. But now that your accumulation is not enough, it is better to meditate and experience more in this realm, and then try to condense the Natal Dao Light. "

"This disciple also thinks so, so disciple thinks that now that cultivating in the sect is also leisurely, I wonder if the sect has any arrangements?"

After thinking for a while, Xun Yang's Precious Red Sun Image flickered, "There is no big matter here in the sect, but the Northern Land of the Spiritual State is restless, and I need a disciple to go there to help Junior Brother Chen."

The Northern Land of the Spiritual State, which was once the southern part of the Wing State, was included in the Spiritual State after Jiang Yuanchen divided it with three swords. Although there were no Essence Soul Spiritual Masters in the land of the various countries, those Gold Core cultivators and Taixu Taoism were not easy to deal with.

"A few of the Twelve Spiritual Gates went there, and under our arrangement, we intend to promote three more sects to guard the Northern Land."

"That should be the case. Now that the Taixu Taoism controls a part of the territory, it is indeed necessary to find a few subordinate sects to manage it, and spread the ideas of the Taixu Taoism over there." Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanchen suddenly thought of something, "Master Xun, what about the Shinto Dao? Has Martial Uncle Chen conferred many Gods of Mountains and Rivers? "

Xun Yang smiled faintly, "I don't know why, but those disloyal countries in the Northern Land have sent some Gods of Nations to challenge us. They even formed an alliance of nine countries to resist the Taixu Taoism. "

Someone is secretly supporting us? Seeing Xun Yang's expression, Jiang Yuanchen naturally knew what to do, so he said seriously, "Disciple is willing to go to the Northern Land, but it is inconvenient for me to move my real body, so let the incarnation of the Kun Whale go!"

A spiritual light flew out from the top of his head, and the green jade-colored Kun Fish set off waves of water vapor above his head.

"I also need to ask Master Xun for an edict to travel in the Northern Land as a Shinto." In addition, Jiang Yuanchen also intended to open up the Dream World in the Northern Land.

"This matter is simple." Xun Yang agreed, and the Seal of Mountains and Rivers in the Mountain River Hall suddenly moved, and a talisman was copied down and given to Jiang Yuanchen, "Do you still remember the bet you made with Sun Kang?"

"Is it about the Spiritual Bead fragment?" Jiang Yuanchen thought about it, and then remembered what Sun Kang said.

Xun Yang waved his hand, and two spiritual lights flew out from the depths of the Great Pure Yang Palace. "The Mysterious Gold Bead fragment was left behind by my Eldest Senior Brother. You and other disciples are recorded under his name, and this thing is his congratulatory gift to you for your Jindan. These three fragments of the Mysterious Water Bead are a reward from us elders, and can also be regarded as your protection. "

The Kun Fish incarnation shook, and the three fragments were immediately absorbed into his body and slowly refined. Xun Yang stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Kun Fish incarnation immediately transformed into a handsome young man, which was Jiang Yuanchen's original appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old. As for the golden dart, Jiang Yuanchen patted the Purple Gold Gourd behind him, and a golden sword flew out and merged with the dart, turning into a platinum Xuan Qi.

"I will teach you the" Grand White Pure Gold Secret Technique ", you can try to collect the Heaven and Earth Pure Gold Xuan Qi to refine the Mysterious Gold Bead fragment." Xun Yang's heart moved, seeing the power of the Xuan Qi in the gourd, he simply passed a secret technique to help Jiang Yuanchen condense the platinum Xuan Qi to fight against the enemy.
