Chapter 252 - 216: Consolidation of Dragon Bone, the Second Evolution of Dragon Elephant Gu_2
However, in these seas, it is the clan forces that are the strongest, and the power of the Sects has weakened.
“Of course, that’s not the case, the power of the Sects is still strong.”
“It’s just that they’re not Golden Core Sects, but Nascent Soul Sects.”
“The power of the Nascent Soul Sects is supreme, ruling the endless seas and numerous islands.”
“This has almost extinguished the living space of the Golden Core Sects.”
“Any bright Cultivator will choose to join a Nascent Soul Sect, not a Golden Core Sect.”
“And this is why the Golden Core families are so popular.”
“After all, families united by lineage are incredibly cohesive and fight more fiercely in the face of danger, making their combat effectiveness very strong.”
“If a family produces a few geniuses, they can be sent to the Nascent Soul Sect.”
Zhou Sui said solemnly.
These are some pieces of information he has obtained from the memories of the three Wu Owls.
Compared to Immortal Mist Island, these seas have more Golden Core families, and they are also bigger.
It’s essentially families and clans fighting each other.
The Golden Core Sects rarely appear.
“I understand now.”
“Generally speaking, in these seas, the Golden Core Master cannot establish a Sect.”
“Only the Nascent Soul Ancestor is eligible to establish a Sect.”
Mu Ziyi nodded, expressing her understanding.
“This!”
After hearing this, Leng Yuexi was speechless, but she had to admit that it was indeed the case.
If it were on Immortal Mist Island, the Golden Core Master would be invincible and could naturally establish a Sect, crushing all Cultivators.
A Golden Core Master can establish a Sect for five hundred years, dominating a vast territory.
You don’t see a Foundation Establishment Cultivator establishing a Sect.
Of course, in some weaker places, like the mortal world, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator might be able to establish a Sect.
In short, the power of the Golden Core Master isn’t sufficient in these seas to establish a Sect.
“Of course, aside from these threats.”
“The biggest threat in these seas comes from deep-sea beasts.”
“The number of these beasts is many times greater than in the Cloud Mist Mountain range.”
“Once they form a beast tide, it can cause great losses to the islands, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.”
“However, a beast tide only appears once every few decades, so we don’t need to worry about it for now.”
Leng Yuexi continued.
She simply outlined the threats that the Immortal Mist Sect may face in the future.
“In that case, it should be okay.”
“It’s just some Golden Core Masters.”
“Even if the entire Yu family attacks, our Immortal Mist Sect’s Third Class,
High Grade formation can easily withstand it.”
“Even if a group of robbers attack or a beast tide arrives, we will be safe.”
Zhou Sui immediately felt much more at ease.
He had immense confidence in his Third Stage High Grade formation, especially with the boost from the Array Heart Gu, he could perfectly exert the power of the Third Stage formation.
Even if they are attacked by an early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, they can resist.
So, there’s no need to mention Golden Core Cultivators.
It can be said that no Golden Core Master would dare to confront a Third Stage Array Master in a Third Stage formation.
Without a doubt, this would be courting death.
“Dear, I would like to propose a joint venture with the Qingmu Sect and the Danding Faction to hold a market.”
“It can be named ‘Immortal Mist City’ and located on our Water Star Island.”
“To attract the Loose Cultivators in these seas to trade.”
“After all, there are scarce resources on the Tri-Star Islands, with barely any mines.”
“Even if we bring a lot of resources from Immortal Mist Island, we can’t just eat them all.”
“We should establish a market to make a lot of Spirit Stones.”
Leng Yuexi offered her suggestion.
“No problem, I’ll leave this to you.”
Zhou Sui nodded.
He doesn’t have any problems with this, after all, he doesn’t have the talent for business. He’ll leave it to the professionals. His main task is cultivation.
The best thing would be to quickly become a Golden Core Master, thereby ensuring the safety of the three great sects.
Several days later.
The affairs of the Immortal Mist Sect were well underway, with people handling various tasks, freeing Zhou Sui of such responsibilities.
In a quiet chamber.
Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the floor, running the Insect God Sutra with nature’s spiritual energy rushing from all around him, entering his body, and then transforming into individual drops of Mana.
The Mana liquid in deep within his Dantian Qi Sea was also slowly increasing.
“Huh!”
At this moment, Zhou Sui opened his eyes. After completing one hundred and eight cycles, he finally ended this cultivation session.
It’s undeniable that cultivating within the Third Class, High-Grade Spirit Vein is rather refreshing.
Over the past five years, he had been aboard the Flying Boat, only able to cultivate using Spirit Stones.
This resulted in especially fast consumption of his Spirit Stones.
At the same time, he did not dare to openly devour and absorb like he does now.
Now that he had arrived in a place with a Third Stage Spirit Vein, he could freely absorb its energies.
The Mana within his body also grew incredibly fast.
“To be successful in Core Formation, one also needs to pass three stages.”
“There’s no doubt that I can pass the Divine Sense stage, given that my Divine Sense is now comparable to the Late Golden Core stage.”
“If my Divine Sense fails to pass the stage, then no one else can.”
‘Tn terms of the Mana stage, there’s not an issue either; as long as Mana is fulfilled, I can naturally reach the level of Core Formation. I don’t need to worry about anything.”
“The most important stage to focus on now is the physical stage.”
“Although my body is incredibly strong, it doesn’t necessarily mean my Mana is as well.”
“If my body is not at the level of a Golden Core, it might be difficult to withstand the pressures of a breakthrough.”
“In other words, I need to prioritize cultivation for my physical body.”
“However, this is no problem because, due to the Dragon Elephant Gu advancing to the state of Second stage, the refining effect is even more amazing.”
“If I continue refining, then these quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes.”
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.
In fact, he felt that with every monthly refinement by the Dragon Elephant Gu, his physique gradually grew stronger and seemed to arrive at a certain realm.
After some more time of refining, he would surely reach a whole new realm.
Of course, this time is definitely a bit long.
Despite this, it is worth waiting for.
Five years later.
Since Zhou Sui arrived at the Tri-Star Island Group, a total of five years had passed.
During this time, he had been constantly cultivating with little regard for the outside world.
Boom!—
At this moment, Zhou Sui once again welcomed the monthly refinement of the Dragon Elephant Gu. A mysterious blood energy spread over his entire body, entering every part of his body.
After years of refinement, it seemed as if his body had finally reached a certain limit.
Thump-
This strand of mysterious blood energy, like the final straw to breaking a bottleneck, easily triggered a massive transformation in Zhou Sui’s body.
And this time, the vast blood energy seeped into his bones.
Each one of the two hundred and six bones in his body was being refined by this mysterious blood energy at this moment.
This caused every bone in his body to be invaded by a dark golden force and gradually turned into dark gold bones, emanating an aura of nobility, deep mystery, power, and antiquity.
On top of each bone emerged dense, mysterious runes.
It seemed as if they contained an immortal aura.
Without a doubt, his bones were now refined and incredibly strong, like treasured bones, emitting a dark golden glow, similar to the material of a magic weapon.
“Dragon Bone!”
Instantaneously, Zhou Sui gained a message from the Dragon Elephant Gu deep within his Sea of Consciousness.
Apparently, his body had undergone a second evolution and he gained Dragon Bone.
Now every single bone in his body was being refined into Dragon Bone.
This triggered an unthinkable metamorphosis in his body.
A terrifying aura of the dragon emanated from him, almost materialized.
With a crack, the ground of the quiet room could not bear this pressure, and in a blink of an eye, it was shattered into cracks, like a spider web, spreading throughout the entire quiet room..
