Ye Lin took out a large pile of Spirit Stones, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to absorb Spiritual Qi with all his might.
Immediately, streams of Spiritual Qi gushed from the Spirit Stones into Ye Lin's body, and Ye Lin was like a shriveled sponge, while the Spiritual Qi was like seawater, slowly expanding him.
At this moment, his Meridians, which had been lacking the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, greedily absorbed this massive amount of Spiritual Qi.
"Not bad."
Chu Xue, in the sky, smiled slightly upon seeing this scene.
A hint of fatigue flashed in her eyes; for three days, she had to constantly pay attention to the force, otherwise, if she struck too hard, it would be over.
With such meticulous care, even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would inevitably feel somewhat fatigued.
Seeing that it was complete, Chu Xue clapped her hands and turned to leave.
After a full three hours, Ye Lin finally opened his eyes.
His body was now full and robust, and he had stepped into a new Realm.
His body and Realm had both reached Foundation Establishment Peak simultaneously. Not to mention within a thousand miles, even in the entire Tianhe County, he was a rarity, like a Phoenix feather or a Dragon scale.
This also forged his current extremely abnormal combat power, making him invincible among those of the same cultivation level.
This was his confidence.
"Now that my body strength and Realm have both reached Foundation Establishment Peak, as long as I further enhance my Divine Soul, I can begin to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage."
"First, I'll go back and check on my blood soul fruit."
With that thought, Ye Lin flew directly towards Du Peak.
Upon arriving at his residence, Ye Lin took out the blood soul tree from under his bed. On the blood soul tree, three fruits were growing.
Seeing this, Ye Lin was overjoyed. As expected of the Acquired Breath Soil, it was truly powerful.
After plucking the fruits, Ye Lin placed the blood soul tree back under his bed.
Holding the blood soul fruit in both hands, he began to refine them.
As for the current external situation, it was not something he considered; anyway, it wouldn't get out of hand.
His top priority now was to seize the opportunity to improve his strength as much as possible, and he must Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage within three months.
Also, he needed to deal with Mo Yi.
If Mo Yi wasn't dealt with, and he were to leave, when Mo Yi returned, the trouble would be immense.
Just like that, half a month passed.
On this day, Ye Lin opened his wooden door and looked at the sun in the sky.
After refining the three blood soul fruits, his Divine Soul had greatly increased. Even without the Xuan Guang Pagoda to defend against some simple illusions, Ye Lin could withstand them with his powerful Divine Soul.
"Forget it, I'll go see what the current situation is like."
Having been in seclusion for so many days, he didn't know what the external situation had become, or if Qingyun Sect had won.
Walking down Du Peak and entering the inner Sect, Ye Lin found the inner Sect's main hall tightly closed.
Whenever this happened, it meant something major had occurred, prompting a Sect meeting.
Seeing this, Ye Lin stepped forward. The two Disciples guarding the gate bowed to Ye Lin, then immediately opened the main door.
Inside the main hall, the nine Elders were gathered, and Chu Xue stood at the front, the atmosphere of the entire hall was extremely solemn.
As Ye Lin walked into the hall, the nine Elders all bowed in greeting.
"What happened?"
Seeing everyone so serious, Ye Lin couldn't help but ask curiously. Killing Sect had already been destroyed, and everything was developing in a good direction, so why were they so solemn?
"Reporting to Saint, the Dragon Family is coming fiercely, and it seems a powerful force from thousands of miles away is secretly intervening. We have been defeated."
"Now, the Dragon Family has already occupied three large cities under the jurisdiction of our Qingyun Sect, and they are gathering forces, preparing to attack our Qingyun Sect."
The Grand Elder bowed to Ye Lin and said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin frowned.
"Other forces from thousands of miles away intervened?"
"Yes, Saint, it is suspected to be the Fire God Sect from thousands of miles away. The Fire God Sect has four Golden Core Stage Masters guarding it. Our Qingyun Sect is in danger."
The Grand Elder said with a face full of sorrow.
The overall strength of the Fire God Sect was more than double that of the Qingyun Sect. If the Fire God Sect truly intervened, their Qingyun Sect would have no power to resist.
"Moreover, the Dragon Family has personally declared that in two months, they want us to go to the Dragon Family for a discussion to jointly negotiate the division of that medium-sized Spirit Mine."
The Grand Elder continued.
"Since the Dragon Family said so, it means they are one hundred percent confident. It seems there really is someone behind them."
Ye Lin couldn't help but smack his lips. After half a month of seclusion, had things already developed to such a point?
"Since there's nothing else, everyone can leave quickly."
"The remaining matters do not require the Elders to worry; I will resolve them."
Ye Lin waved his hand. The nine Elders looked at each other, then finally bowed to Ye Lin and slowly left the main hall.
"What are your thoughts?"
Chu Xue, on the high platform, stared at Ye Lin, her lips moving slightly as she slowly spoke.
"The Dragon Family has given us two months. Within these two months, I am one hundred percent confident of Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. At that time, the current predicament will naturally be resolved."
Ye Lin stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of confidence.
Two months would be enough for him to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. As long as he forged a Nine-Colored Golden Core, by then, even if the three Golden Core of the Fire God Sect came together, he would not fear them.
"Good, I believe you."
"I have already prepared the items for your Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. With these, although you cannot forge a Seven-Colored Golden Core, with your foundation, a Six-Colored one is more than enough."
At this moment, Chu Xue waved her hand, and several rays of light appeared before Ye Lin. Within each light cluster, a Profound Rank treasure was placed.
There were nine in total, all Profound Rank High-Grade treasures.
"Thank you, Master."
Ye Lin collected the nine treasures and respectfully bowed to Chu Xue.
"Alright, we are Master and Disciple; there's no need for such formality. You may leave."
Chu Xue waved her hand slightly, then left.
She still had more important things to do. The Sect Master's lifespan was nearing its end, and within these two months, he might lose control. At that time, she would also need to deal with this evil demon dog.
"With the help of these nine treasures, the Nine-Colored Golden Core is within reach."
Ye Lin was overjoyed and quickly returned to his residence.
"ancient era Cultivators, whose bodies and Realm were both Foundation Establishment Peak, coupled with the assistance of Innate spiritual power, generally forged at least a Six-Colored Golden Core."
"However, now, Innate spiritual power is extinct, and resources are scarce. Among a million Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators, perhaps not one can be found whose body and Realm have both reached the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm."
"Therefore, what is generally forged are Three-Colored Golden Cores or Four-Colored Golden Cores."
"Those with extremely strong foundations, assisted by powerful treasures during their Breakthrough, can forge Six-Colored Golden Cores or Seven-Colored Golden Cores."
"And I, having Awakened a five-grade dao platform, with my body strength and Realm both reaching Foundation Establishment Peak, plus the assistance of Innate Spirit Stones and various treasures, once I Breakthrough, there is a great possibility of forging a Nine-Colored Golden Core."
"A Nine-Colored Golden Core, even in the ancient era, would be considered a Peerless Paragon."
In the Golden Core Stage, the Golden Core within the body can range from one color to nine colors, with one color being the lowest and nine colors the strongest.
To forge a one-colored Golden Core means that the path ahead is cut off, and it's impossible to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime.
A good Spiritual Root merely gives you the greatest possible upper limit; it doesn't mean that if your Spiritual Root determines you can Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, then you will definitely be able to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.
If that were truly the case, then there would be no fun in it. Once a top-grade Spiritual Root was Awakened, a Genius destined for Immortal Ascension, what would be the point of fighting and killing? Just keep nurturing him.
"Phew, let's begin the Breakthrough."
