The Golden Core is eternally invincible, indestructible for all eternities.

Pei Xuanjing sat quietly on the cloud platform. The invisible and intangible Golden Core within his body—which could also be considered his Inner Alchemy—was currently being refined by his Essence, Qi, and Spirit. This Golden Core emanated an unceasing aura of immortality and indestructibility.

The Golden Core Dao essentially encapsulates the moment when one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit merge to form the Inner Alchemy, which then undergoes continuous refining and transformation. It is only when the Inner Alchemy attains a Golden Nature—that is, an unchanging and indestructible quality through countless calamities—can it be proclaimed as a Golden Core.

Therefore, even at this point, Pei Xuanjing didn’t think he’d genuinely condensed a Golden Core. Although his current Inner Alchemy was immeasurably more potent and well-rounded than it was when he was at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm, Pei Xuanjing believed he was still far from his goal—to him, the discrepancy remained massive.

“According to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill I deduced, I’m currently at the eighth level of the Spirit Realm, and my Inner Alchemy only corresponds to the sixth revolution. The sixth revolution is not yet complete. It is only when I step into the Ninth Realm of Spirit, and my Inner Alchemy reaches its most profound cycle, that I will peak in the Spirit Realm,” Pei Xuanjing pondered, feeling the constant rotation of the Golden Core within him.

According to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill he had deduced, it is only when his Inner Alchemy enters the seventh revolution that it could be referred to as a Golden Core. At that time, he would assuredly transcend the mundane, becoming a true Immortal—undying and invincible.

“However, becoming immortal is exceedingly difficult. Over the countless years, countless heroes have pursued the Immortal Path, yet all have died with regret. Even with the aid of the emulator, achieving immortality will not be easy,” Pei Xuanjing lamented inwardly.

The Immortal Path is treacherous. If attaining immortality were easy, then countless heroes would have succeeded over the countless years. Yet, not one person managed to attain immortality.

Therefore, even if one has the aid of a life emulator that can increase their margin for error, allowing them endless attempts and accumulation of experiences, Pei Xuanjing did not take the task lightly. He considered this challenge to be the most daunting one.

……

Originally, before the contest of Dao understanding, Pei Xuanjing and the others had prepared to each elucidate their understanding of the Dao for a month. Then, all the cultivators would recuperate. After their recuperation, the competition for cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Realm would commence.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s Dao discourse contained such an extensive amount of content that the utmost experts needed an extended period to digest it all. After all, compared to the results of the competition, the most important thing is to digest the gains from this round of Dao discourse.

Consequently, the cultivators adjusted the planned time from one month to half a year. During this half-year period, as many cultivators and experts at the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Realm secluded themselves for short periods to digest their gains, Pei Xuanjing did not leave the remaining cultivators idle.

He simply exchanged the rewards from the previous competition in advance, granting another opportunity to enter the Longevity World. Then he allowed the many cultivators who had earned rewards from previous competitions to gain insight into the Dao of the Longevity World and hone themselves.

Although his approach seemed to aid figures like Zhao Baiyang by providing more time to amass their strength, the mighty experts agreed to this. After all, they considered this a small concession in exchange for Pei Xuanjing’s generous sharing of his Dao understandings. Despite viewing this as helping Zhao Baiyang and the others gain time to consolidate power, none of the upper echelons raised any objections, choosing to regard it as repaying a fraction of Pei Xuanjing’s kindness.

Moreover, these experts were confident. After all, the cultivators chosen for this round of the tournament were all top figures within their realms. Even within the Tianhuang, all were considered part of the elite. Offering Zhao Baiyang and the others some more time to increase their power did not matter to them because, ultimately, this would not alter the final outcome. Such extra time was meaningless.

Under such circumstances, figures like Zhao Baiyang and Taoist Qingxu gained more time to enhance their power, which could improve their chances of winning in the upcoming competition.

Time flew by, and a half-year passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the powerful figures couldn’t fully absorb all the gains from this round of Dao discourse within this short half-year, they considered the differences between their progresses insignificant.

At the same time when they exited seclusion, the cultivators who entered the Longevity World for cultivation, including Zhao Baiyang, also returned.

Thus, attracting the attention of countless people, the competition that would determine the distribution of powers after the Tianhuang integrated into the Daming World, was about to commence.

Everyone was looking forward to these battles. After all, the powers of figures like Zhao Baiyang, which had been demonstrated not too long ago, were evident to all. Although they were only at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm, they were virtually unparalleled among their peers once they started. Even when formidable figures from top-tier forces made their moves, the duels always ended in a draw.

Of course, most cultivators understood that these draws were merely due to the current setting. Both sides maintained restraint and didn’t reveal their ultimate tricks. If they were truly fighting for their lives, the outcome would remain uncertain until the very end.

As everyone expected, those scheduled for the competition at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm from the Daming World were Tie Qianshan, Zhao Baiyang, and Taoist Qingxu.

Originally, the one who should have competed was Xue Wuheng, the leader of the Demonic Cult, but his name was too provocative for many practitioners of the Demonic Way.

Therefore, during the last challenge in the seventh sector, not only did Xue Wuheng face the targeted attacks from the cultivators of the Hell Demon Sect, his enemies, but after defeating them consecutively, other Demonic Way cultivators took their turns. In the end, he clashed heavily with a cultivator from the Blood Fiend Sect. Their competition resulted in a stalemate, with both sides suffering. If it weren’t for the rules of the platform that forbade mortal combat, one of them would have emerged as the undeniable winner.

Given such circumstances, even after spending a considerable amount of time understanding the principles in the Longevity World, Xue Wuheng’s injuries had not fully healed. So, he was incapable of delivering his full strength. Left with no choice but to have Tie Qianshan take his place.

The person representing the Tianhuang was chosen arbitrarily since they had numerous cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm. Excluding those from top-tier forces, there were also many formidable cultivators from first-rate forces.

The first person to compete was Taoist Qingxu. Every spectator was well aware of his displayed strength previously. Now, seeing him compete once more, the delegation from the Tianhuang dispatched a prince from the Great Xue Ancient Kingdom.

The Great Xue Ancient Kingdom, with its long and storied history, rivals many top-tier forces. Even though they have not produced a supreme expert, their profound cultural heritage is beyond the comprehension of many.

Being a prince of the Great Xue Ancient Kingdom and chosen to compete in such a crucial battle, the competitor naturally boasted formidable power.
