Chaos.
Chaos.
Dark clouds swept across the sky, sometimes accompanied by heavy rain.
The wind whistled and dust flew in the air. The entire Qingyang Territory, no! To be exact, the surrounding seven or eight territories were covered in dust.
The weather was very bad. It had been more than five days.
In the past five days, there were fights and robberies everywhere in the surrounding territories. The spiritual change of nature not only gave birth to some rare spiritual treasures, but also caused some ancient cave dwellings that had disappeared in the years to appear one after another.
Any cave dwellings relied on the mysteries of nature to exist. If there was a spiritual change in nature, the cave dwellings hidden in nature would also appear. It was said that in just five days, five or six ancient cave dwellings had appeared in the surrounding territories. Many people were still exploring the cave dwellings even now.
It was noon on this day.
A large chariot passed through the Qingyang Territory and drove into the Gilded Territory.
The horse was a red ferghana horse. It was covered in red hair and ran like flames. Four horses pulled a chariot that was about four meters long and two meters tall. The chariot was dark red and looked quite imposing. Some mysterious patterns were printed on the body of the chariot, which looked like some formations used to stabilize the chariot.
The driver was a short and fat man with a round body. He wore a tailor-made robe and his hair was combed until it was shiny. He held the reins with one hand and waved the whip with the other. From time to time, he would shout, "Deuer! Giddy up! " — —
Everyone in the Yunxia School knew that this large chariot was stolen by Old Master Huo De from a local gang a few years ago. He rarely rode it and would only take it out for a ride when he went on a long trip.
The driver was the deacon of the Yunxia School, Féquy.
However, the driver was not Huo De, but Gu Qingfeng.
At this moment, he was sitting in the chariot, leaning against the window and drinking a little wine leisurely. He looked at the bad weather outside and could not help but shake his head. He knew that the spiritual change of nature must have been caused by the various colors that nature had forced on him when he was building his foundation.
Although the spiritual change of nature did not cause chaos, the mysterious changes of nature were sometimes not inferior to a catastrophe. Fortunately, the spiritual change this time was not particularly large and the range was not particularly wide.
"Go! Go!"
The sound of Féquy driving the carriage could be heard. Gu Qingfeng chuckled, thinking that Féquy was quite amusing at times.
"Féquy, what's your cultivation now?"
"Young Master, my current cultivation is at the ninth stage of the Violet Palace Realm."
"Ninth stage of the Violet Palace Realm?" Gu Qingfeng took out some Red Leaf Demon Fruits from his storage pouch and asked casually, "How many years have you been cultivating?"
"Young Master, I have been cultivating for more than forty years."
"Over forty years, ninth stage of the Violet Palace Realm. You'll be able to condense your golden core in less than three years. Not bad, not bad."
"Young Master, you must be joking. This lowly one's Spiritual Root isn't good enough. Being able to open up the Violet Palace Realm is also because of various medicinal pills. The Spiritual Energy in my Dantian is incomparably turbid. At that time, whether I can condense a Golden Core is still unknown. Even if I can condense a Golden Core, it will be a fake Golden Core.
"You're satisfied just like that?"
Gu Qingfeng sighed. Although there were many fake Golden Cores in ancient times, they weren't as exaggerated as in the present. In the past hundred years, as long as one was a cultivator, as long as they relied on array formations and medicinal pills, they would be able to condense a Golden Core. However, most of them were fake Golden Cores.
This thing only had the name of a Golden Core, but it didn't have the actual Golden Core. Furthermore, there were endless consequences. The only benefit was that it could increase one's lifespan by a lot. Living for a few hundred years wasn't a problem. If one was lucky, like the Three Elders Of Yunxia, they could survive the Life Calamity and live for a few more years. If one was unlucky, they would die in the Life Calamity.
The Golden Core was an extremely important hurdle on the path of cultivation.
It could be said that more than half of the cultivators stopped at this hurdle.
After condensing the Golden Core, one would need to refine it day after day, year after year, until the Golden Core was incomparably pure.
This process was extremely long. The more turbid the Golden Core was, the more difficult it was to refine it.
After condensing the Golden Core, many people simply gave up on refining it in order to increase their lifespan. They knew that their Golden Core was too turbid. No matter how hard they refined it, it was impossible to refine it into a real Golden Core.
Was that all?
No.
Even if the Golden Core was refined to a very pure state, it was just the beginning of the path of the Golden Core. Then, the Golden Core needed to undergo nine sublimations, which was the Nine Transformations of the Golden Core. Only then could one break through. This path was even more difficult than refining the Golden Core. There were many people who had refined it for two thousand years, or even three thousand years.
When Gu Qingfeng was excavating the cave, he met an old man who had survived four Life Calamities and was still refining his Golden Core. Four Life Calamities meant that he had cultivated for more than 3,600 years. When Gu Qingfeng met the old man in the cave, the old man couldn't even speak. He had even lost his normal logical thinking.
Because he had been in seclusion for too long, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to refine his Golden Core.
Although his physical body was still alive, his consciousness and thinking had deteriorated. His IQ was even lower than that of a three-year-old child.
Gu Qingfeng had seen many people like this. They were all people whose consciousness had deteriorated because they had been in seclusion for a long time to refine their Golden Core.
The path of cultivation was against the will of the heavens. This path was not easy to walk. One wrong step would lead to many wrong steps. The further one went, the more difficult it would be.
This was also the reason why he had been hesitant to help Huo De. With his ability, it was not difficult to help Huo De refine his Golden Core. Even helping Huo De reach the Nine Transformations of the Golden Core was not difficult. But what about the future?
The path of cultivation was long. After the Nine Transformations of the Golden Core, there was a sublimation realm that could be directly skipped. It was the Nine Transformations of the Nascent Soul.
After the Nine Transformations of the Nascent Soul, one could cultivate the Primordial Spirit and become a Taoist Master. However, the path of a Taoist Master was more difficult than that of a Perfected Person.
Gu Qingfeng pondered. After he had completely dealt with the matter of the Yunxia School, he must find Huo De to discuss this matter and see what his opinion was.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Qingfeng was drinking wine from time to time and resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if the earth and mountains were shaking. Féquy, who was driving the carriage, quickly pulled the reins and the carriage gradually came to a stop.
"Young Master, look!"
"Hmm?"
Gu Qingfeng opened the curtain and looked up. Oh my god, he saw a rainbow light on a mountain in the distance. The rainbow light soared into the sky like a flame burning fiercely. Squinting his eyes, he took a closer look. This was obviously the brilliance of a natural formation after it exploded, but it was different. A natural formation could not cause such a big movement after it exploded.
Féquy, who was sitting outside, looked at the rainbow light soaring into the sky and murmured, "This is the seventh rainbow light."
"What seventh?"
"Young Master, in the past few days, there has been an explosion of such rainbow light almost every day, and every rainbow light has a cave residence. I think this seventh rainbow light is no exception."
"Seven rainbow lights?" Gu Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are all of them so big?"
"Yes! And they are exactly the same. "
"It's quite strange..." Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and thought for a while. Then he said, "Let's hurry up and take a look."
