Chapter 96: Breakthrough! Late-stage Core Formation realm! Golden Core Great Dao Scripture Perfection!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time passed.

Cultivation knew no time.

In the blink of an eye, four years later, the legacy competition was starting.

The twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect had already started spreading the news of the legacy competition three months ago. The discussion was very lively, and various matters regarding the competition were spread.

There were various versions.

It was certain that there were a total of 1,230 legacy disciples participating in the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. The number of people participating was more than during the Outer Sect Assessment of the twelve peaks.

Back then, Qi Ming had only participated in the Outer Sect Assessment of the twelve peaks.

Of course, it was chosen from tens of thousands of people.

Including Qi Ming, there were only 74 legacy disciples of the Green Cloud Peak.

For seven years, the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly was held twice. Only one disciple with legacy potential appeared, but he was not taken in by the Green Cloud Peak. Instead, he entered the Hidden Sword Peak.

As the days of the legacy competition approached, many busybodies gathered the information about the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

A list of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, the True Dragon Ranking, was created.

All the legacy disciples were ranked.

Qi Ming’s ranking was very low on the True Dragon Ranking of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. He just happened to be ranked at the thousandth place. This was still because Qi Ming had cultivated the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

Otherwise…

Qi Ming’s ranking would be even lower.

Until now, everyone thought that Qi Ming’s cultivation level was only at the early-stage Core Formation realm.

Of course, he did not care about this.

In any case, everything would naturally be exposed once the Legacy Competition began. It was useless to argue about these meaningless things now.

This so-called Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s True Dragon Ranking was useless. It would not reward those on the rankings. At most, it would increase their reputation and increase it.

On this day, in the morning.

“Junior Brother.”

Lü Qingyan came to visit. “There’s still a month before the legacy competition begins. Are you confident?”

“I’ll try my best.” Qi Ming replied.

“Junior Brother, don’t be discouraged.”

Lü Qingyan consoled him, “It has only been more than ten years since you became a legacy disciple. Some legacy disciples have already been doing so for a century or two.”

“Even if you aren’t selected to enter the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain this time, you still have a chance next time.”

Beside him, Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan were working hard to build a fire and cook spirit food. This time, they were making the cultivation world’s version of barbecue.

While conversing, Lü Qingyan and Qi Ming were also eating heartily. Qi Ming took out the Heavenly Constellation Wine Pot from time to time and drank a few mouthfuls of spirit wine. However, Lü Qingyan did not like spirit wine. Therefore, Qi Ming got Yuan Feng to develop the cultivation world’s version of fruit juice and beverages.

“Junior Brother.”

Lü Qingyan tasted a cup of spirit grape juice squeezed out by the Spiritual Fire Grape and casually picked up a beef skewer. Her red lips were stained with oil as she said, “I didn’t expect you to develop such a delicacy while staying on the Falling Cloud Peak alone.”

Qi Ming smiled, “This is done with the help of Yuan Feng. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to do.”

“Is that so?”

Lü Qingyan looked enlightened. She looked at Yuan Feng, who was cooking barbecue, with a deep gaze. Yuan Feng shrugged and shrank her neck. For some reason, she felt a little guilty.

Qi Ming also tasted fruit juice and other drinks made of other ingredients.

The taste was indeed not bad.

Qi Ming still preferred spirit wine.

Actually, Lü Qingyan had been in seclusion for a few years, so she did not have much contact with Qi Ming. On the other hand, Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan had more contact with Qi Ming. Moreover, Qi Ming had given them pointers and helped them many times.

Therefore, Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan knew Qi Ming’s strength even better.

Although Uncle-Master Qi Ming’s cultivation level was only at the Core Formation realm. They did not know the exact realm, but Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan were certain that Uncle-Master Qi Ming would definitely shine during this legacy competition.

Xiao Fan had already refined the ninth-grade Magnetic Extreme Golden Core a year ago, but he did not tell the sect and hid it. He planned to inform the sect after this Legacy Competition and become a legacy disciple of the Green Cloud Peak.

The reason was simple.

Xiao Fan wanted to avoid Qi Ming.

This was because Xiao Fan knew very well how terrifying Uncle-Master Qi Ming was. They were on completely different levels. This Uncle-Master tortured him like he was a newbie. He could not even move a finger.

Therefore, if he became a legacy disciple now, he had to participate in this legacy competition because of the rules of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. At that time, with Uncle-Master Qi Ming around, he would be completely defeated. He might even be beaten up badly.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Fan had already decided.

In another hundred years, after becoming a Nascent Soul great cultivator, he would be able to display his might in the next legacy competition and sweep all the competitors.

Wouldn’t that be great?!

As for Yuan Feng…

Because her potential had increased, Lü Qingyan was also quite surprised when she learned of it. Therefore, Lü Qingyan reported to the sect and applied for the Core Formation method for a ninth-grade Golden Core.

Therefore, for seven years, up until now, she was still preparing to condense a ninth-grade Golden Core.

“Junior Brother, what’s your cultivation level now?” Lu Qingyan asked.

“Mid-stage Core Formation realm.” Qi Ming replied.

“Not bad.”

Lu Qing nodded in satisfaction, “Although this improvement speed is not as exaggerated as in the past, it’s still quite good. In this legacy competition, you mainly want to broaden your horizons and accumulate experience. In the next legacy competition in a hundred years, it will definitely be your stage.”

“…”

Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan did not speak, but they were thinking in their hearts,?‘Master, oh Master, you really underestimated Uncle-Master Qi completely. His strength had long exceeded the limit of his cultivation realm.’

“Senior Sister is right.” Qi Ming smiled and did not argue.

Lü Qingyan waved her hand and an item went out from her storage bag. It was a palm-sized jade box. It was crystal clear and colorful. It was engraved with profound patterns. She said, “In this jade box are the talismans that I’ve refined recently. Although I don’t know what the competition will be, I hope it’s useful to you.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Qi Ming reached out and took it. There was no need to be polite.

He opened it.

In the jade box were talismans that contained the power of the Leaving Aperture realm. There were offensive, defensive, trapping, and fleeing talismans. They were very complete.

From this, it was obvious.

Lü Qingyan had spent a lot of effort and time.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Qi Ming put it away solemnly.

“This is nothing.” Lu Qingyan said, “I haven’t thanked you for the Seven-Colored Spirit Spring you gave me last time.”

Qi Ming pondered for a moment before asking, “Speaking of which, I’ve never been very sure. Are there any specific rules and restrictions to participate in the legacy competition? What are the exact conditions?”

“Below 300 years old and cultivation level below the Leaving Aperture realm. As long as you’re a legacy disciple of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, you can and must participate.”

Lü Qingyan said, “Therefore, every legacy disciple will have more than two chances to participate in the legacy competition.”

Qi Ming nodded. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “But in this way, won’t those legacy disciples who enter the sect later be disadvantaged?”

“That’s nothing.”

Lü Qingyan shrugged. “There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Moreover, even if those legacy disciples who entered the sect do not have sufficient cultivation level and are unable to enter the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain, they still have a chance to participate in the second legacy competition in a hundred years.”

“Therefore, this rule is still quite fair.”

Qi Ming nodded. “That’s true.”

“The legacy competition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect is different every time. The last legacy competition actually let all the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks head to the ‘Endless Abyss’ to hunt underground demons.”

Lü Qingyan said, “Therefore, many legacy disciples died in the legacy competition. I wonder what the competition will be this time?”

“If the content and rules of the competition are similar to last time, Junior Brother, you have to protect yourself. Your life is the most important.”

“Yes, Senior Sister.” Qi Ming nodded.

Unknowingly, it was almost evening.

Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan were also done eating. After chatting for a while, Lü Qingyan and the others left. Qi Ming looked at the night sky and pondered slightly.

Yuan Feng and the others had already cleaned up the trash and leftovers on the ground.

“Master.”

Huo Changqing appeared and bowed to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming sized up Huo Changqing. Although half of his body was black and half white and indeed looked strange, this guy’s strength was real.

Huo Changqing had been AFK Farming for four years in a row in the second spirit pet slot. Only seven days ago did he reach the limit of his complete body and his cultivation level broke through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Qi Ming let Huo Changqing fight the Frost Crystal Maiden. The Frost Crystal Maiden was defeated by Huo Changqing after three moves. The Dawn Dark Bat Demon was the same. It was not Huo Changqing’s match.

“My breakthrough is probably in the next few days.”

Qi Ming sensed the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core in his dantian. It was covered in Great Dao True Marks, and the entire Golden Core had already become more and more perfect. It was already close to breaking through.

Three days later, at night.

Ding!

“The Golden Core Great Dao Scripture has been cultivated continuously under the enhancement of 100,000 times. You have already comprehended the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and further comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has transformed into Dao runes that fuse into the Golden Core. The Great Dao True Marks are engraved and circulating. Attaining the Perfection Golden Core, your cultivation level has broken through to the late-stage Core Formation realm!”

A notification appeared.

“As expected!”

A hint of joy appeared on Qi Ming’s face. After his cultivation breakthrough, his understanding of the Golden Core Great Dao had almost reached Perfection. He had truly grasped the Golden Core Great Dao.

This way, after cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture for a total of ten years, he was finally at the Perfection realm.

For this breakthrough, Qi Ming used an entire seven years.

Under the enhancement of 100,000 times, it was 700,000 thousand years.

With so much time, even a pig might have cultivated to become immortal.

However, the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture was too exaggerated. This was a Great Dao cultivation method that only Connate Fiendcelestials could cultivate. It was not something that a mortal like Qi Ming could cultivate.

Under the AFK Farming Software, he forcefully raised his realm.

He forcefully broke through.

Boom!

The next moment, Qi Ming’s entire body shook. His soul and consciousness entered a wonderful state as he fell into various comprehensions. The magnificence of the Golden Core Great Dao was truly displayed in front of Qi Ming.

At this moment, Qi Ming seemed to have truly ‘observed’ the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Even if it was just a glimpse.
