Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Taiyi Golden Bell Treasure Embryo

The restriction on the wall surprisingly didn’t block even a bit.

Not only that, but the ripple only lost some of its power and then continued to spread outward.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, realizing he should not cause any commotion.

So he flicked his finger, and a wisp of wind fell on the cyan bronze bell.

Dang—!!!

The bell suddenly rang, and the sound wave rippled out, spreading quickly, then collided with the previous ripple.

The two canceled each other out and then disappeared.

Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and with a wave of his hand, the cyan bronze bell fell into his palm.

The originally foot-wide copper bell rapidly shrank to the size of a fist, becoming an ancient bronze bell.

Speaking of which, the appearance of this bell is quite decent.

Its surface is covered with dense, mysterious patterns, engraved with images of mountains, rivers, flowers, insects, and fish.

Although it’s a newly refined magical artifact for Gu Yuan, its appearance is rather ancient and solemn, exuding a mysterious and heavy aura, like an old bronze bell.

The fist-sized bell is exquisite and delicate, yet it faintly emits an imposing force capable of suppressing the eight directions. Even Gu Yuan is quite fond of it, playing with it for a while.

Strictly speaking, this bell is merely a spirit treasure embryo, not yet reaching the grade of a magical treasure, only a top-grade magical artifact.

However, linked by blood to Gu Yuan, he feels that the power of this Taiyi Golden Bell is greater than ordinary magical treasures.

Judging by the previous situation, this is clearly not Gu Yuan’s illusion.

Of course, just like Gu Yuan’s lifebound flying sword, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, Gu Yuan is not yet a Golden Core Great Cultivator, so he cannot refine it into a magical treasure, no matter how much effort he expends.

However, if he forms a Golden Core, refining it into a magical treasure will be much easier.

Below a Golden Core Great Cultivator, one’s cultivation is true energy, but once a Golden Core is formed, true energy merges with essence, qi, and spirit to become mana.

By then, both in power and other uses, it is far beyond what true energy can compare.

The same divine technique, powered by true energy or mana, results in two completely different things.

The former leaves a clear trace, and one strand of true energy can only exert a fraction of its power.

Whereas the latter is natural, with one strand of mana capable of unleashing three, five, or even twelve times the power.

Achieving mana implies transcendence, possessing a hint of the “immortal” essence, allowing one to live for a millennium.

The more one cultivates, the more advanced their essence becomes, transcending the mundane, becoming “near-immortal.”

It is often said to describe someone’s profound cultivation and immeasurable strength with high mana.

This high mana actually refers to cultivators beyond the Golden Core.

As for below the Golden Core…

In the eyes of some giants and great beings, even Primordial Spirit True Immortals, it is almost no different from ephemeral ants.

After all, ordinary people live for about a century, and Innate Martial Masters a bit longer, about one hundred and fifty years, or even less.

As for Celestial Human Realm Cultivators, living past two hundred fifty or sixty years is quite impressive, and not even one in ten can exceed three hundred years.

The reason Medicine King Mountain’s true disciples are the sect’s high-level members is that these disciples are destined to forge a Golden Core in the future or have already become Golden Core Great Cultivators, essentially no longer ants, and have the potential to tread the Path of Longevity, with the possibility of ascending to higher realms, naturally deserving more attention.

Since Gu Yuan’s lifebound magical treasure has been successfully refined, in the next few days, Gu Yuan did not idle and started to refine it or, rather, practiced it thoroughly.

Until he could maneuver it as easily as using his own arm, Gu Yuan stored it in his dantian.

Currently, Gu Yuan’s dantian is quite filled with things.

Those divine dao seeds aside, all are cultivated with Gu Yuan’s painstaking effort. Now, these seeds either undergo transformations or incubation, silently lurking in Gu Yuan’s dantian.

As for the Creation Cyan Lotus Seed obtained by Gu Yuan, it is now taking root and sprouting in Gu Yuan’s Life Spring Dao Foundation, absorbing nutrients.

Then, there’s a palm-sized flying sword, bright as snow, with hilt and blade forming a perfect unity, exuding an inexplicable sharpness and spirituality.

Deep within the sword’s body, it also harbors an unparalleled and domineering killing intent!

This flying sword is naturally Gu Yuan’s lifebound flying sword, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword.

Beside the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword is the newly refined Taiyi Golden Bell.

Compared with the sharp and restrained killing intent of the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, this Taiyi Golden Bell is obviously less attention-grabbing, with a much lower sense of presence.

The surface is ancient and heavy, containing an imposing force capable of suppressing the eight directions.

Now with these two treasures, Gu Yuan no longer needs to worry about his lifebound magical treasure in the future.

Just need to follow the path of cultivation step by step, and once the Golden Core is formed, the grade and power of the treasures can be enhanced gradually.

…

In the following period, Gu Yuan had no other tasks, so he settled his mind and focused on cultivation.

First was the body cultivation Daoist scripture, “Red Fetus Roasting Furnace Scripture,” which directly points to the Primordial Spirit Realm, emphasizing physical ascension. Once achieved to great success, it ensures immortality and the body’s ability to withstand spirit treasures.

Even if the body turns to dust, as long as a drop of blood, a piece of flesh remains, by absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it can fully recover.

This ability is terrifying to the extreme.

Now, Gu Yuan has only cultivated this Daoist scripture to Small Success, yet even this provides significant help to Gu Yuan.

If his physique weren’t robust, merely cultivating so many top-grade divine techniques and two prototypes of great divine techniques would be unbearable for his body.

Before forming a Golden Core, it is essential to solidify one’s foundation, so Gu Yuan focused on identifying weaknesses and meticulously refining his physique to make it more perfect.

As for the “Primordial True Water Scripture,” Gu Yuan didn’t neglect it, carefully refining a strand of true energy until it was hard to advance further, then stopped.

After refining, Gu Yuan’s cultivation and physique have reached peak levels just below the Golden Core, with no room for further improvement.

The true energy is extraordinarily pure, and unless he obtains some rare marvelous treasure, his physique is unlikely to improve further.

In other words, what Gu Yuan needs now is to focus solely on enhancing his divine techniques and then begin forming his Golden Core.

However…

Gu Yuan already has plans for this.

…

On this day, looking at the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly at the root of the flower pot, Gu Yuan was not calm inside.

Because at this moment, he could clearly feel that today this mystical butterfly would awaken.

Therefore, Gu Yuan simply waited here.

As time ticked away, not long after, the originally motionless Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly suddenly shivered, and then its two antennae slightly trembled.
