Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 294: Iron Mountain Staff

Tai Zhen Ou Shen, only needs 3.18 million to ascend to the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm.

The Great Vajra Staff requires 4 million Human Dao Spiritual Light to ascend to the Expert Realm.

The Great Principle Divine Transformation clone technique requires 2.4 million Human Dao Spiritual Light to ascend to the Expert Realm.

Normally, one should choose Tai Zhen Ou Shen among the three secret techniques.

This way, it can enhance Divine Sense and the Five Elements Harmony Technique, which in turn benefits the Great Five Elements Technique.

After considering it, Gao Xian decided not to upgrade Tai Zhen Ou Shen for now, mainly because it is difficult to determine how much Cultivation Base it can enhance.

Facing the upcoming battle, the Great Vajra Staff is more stable and dominant.

With a lifespan of 590 years, Gao Xian has the confidence to upgrade the Great Vajra Staff.

In fact, he had asked Wan Bao Lou Jin Da Bao to help keep an eye out for high-rank Body Refining Medicine Pills from the Dragon Elephant Palace.

It has been almost two years, but there has been no news.

Gao Xian can understand this. After all, Ming Zhou and Hai Zhou are far apart, and communication between them takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, Shui Yu Ying is loyal and has given him a large amount of origin. After being transformed by the Great Five Elements Technique, it has increased his lifespan by 70 years.

Gao Xian no longer hesitated and directly added 4 million points of Human Dao Spiritual Light to the Great Vajra Staff.

Just like the Vajra Staff of the Tongtian Golden Pagoda emerging from the depths of his sea of consciousness, the Vajra Staff Dharma Phase, which is extremely strong and powerful, condenses into a point.

The Vajra Staff Dharma Phase emits countless golden lights, spreading throughout Gao Xian's limbs, organs, and even his blood, showing a faint golden color.

The Vajra Staff Dharma Phase controls the power of the origin and once again transforms Gao Xian's body from the inside out.

Gao Xian knows that these powers are all transformed from his origin.

Human Dao Spiritual Light can only promote the operation of the Vajra Staff but cannot provide corresponding power of the origin.

In fact, even if he obtained the Body Refining Medicine Pills from the Dragon Elephant Palace, they would not be of much use.

Body Refining Medicine Pills need to be taken day and night, continuously enhancing the body. It is a long and subtle process.

Human Dao Spiritual Light can quickly upgrade the Great Vajra Staff, a process that lasts at most one or two days. During this period, the huge and pure power required cannot be satisfied by just a few Body Refining Medicine Pills.

Only by extracting his life origin can the body's transformation needs be met.

Gao Xian has had several upgrade experiences, so he can already understand the fundamental principles of transforming the body with the Great Vajra Staff.

Fortunately, he has a long lifespan, with 80 years of consumption still leaving him with 500 years.

He is only 37 years old this year, which is less than one-twelfth of his lifespan. In any calculation, he is still very, very young.

Foundation Establishment before the age of 30, Golden Core before the age of 60, these are all referring to the higher levels that cultivators can achieve at the peak of their lives, which allows them to achieve higher accomplishments.

Moreover, it is easier to succeed in advancing to a higher grade during the peak of one's life.

There are actually quite a few cultivators who achieve Foundation Establishment in their fifties or sixties, but the proportion of such cultivators is very low.

There are Golden Core cultivators who are two hundred years old.

In the world of cultivators, there are various Heavenly and Mortal Treasures, various miraculous elixirs, and various supernatural powers and secret techniques. There are always exceptions.

However, based on past experiences, it is almost certain that without reaching the Advanced Grade in the best state, there is a limit.

Gao Xian knows that many people are not optimistic about his future because his Foundation Establishment was a bit late, and his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique is the Five Elements technique.

Normally, he would need at least forty to fifty years of cultivation to possibly reach the tenth level of Foundation Establishment.

At that age, it would be difficult to achieve the Golden Core stage. Even if he does reach the Golden Core stage, it would only be at the third rank, with a low upper limit.

Gao Xian has the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, which allows him to clearly know his lifespan, surpassing many Golden Core cultivators in this aspect.

Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs would find it difficult to accurately determine their lifespan down to the year.

Therefore, he can consume his lifespan to enhance the Great Vajra Staff without worrying about affecting his future path.

The brilliant golden light lasted for more than ten hours before slowly dissipating.

Gao Xian opened the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, and the Great Vajra Staff had already reached the expert realm.

To upgrade again, he would need eight million Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh. Upgrading with Human Dao Spiritual Light didn't feel like much.

If he were to cultivate on his own, he would only be able to increase his proficiency by a few dozen points in a day.

To accumulate eight million points of proficiency, it would probably take him five to six hundred years to upgrade. Just thinking about this number is terrifying.

The Great Vajra Staff in the expert realm has clearly improved in level.

Gao Xian can feel that his blood has become exceptionally pure and full of vitality, flowing through his skin, bones, blood, and organs. Every part of his body is operating Magic power through Breathing Exercises, making him seem filled with endless power.

Gao Xian flicked his finger, and the sharp whistle that came from his fingertip sounded like a Flying Sword slashing.

With a casual punch, he only used seventy percent of his strength.

Wherever his fist pointed, the Five Elements spiritual energy in the air surged and scattered, revealing a wide passage over a hundred zhang long in the void.

This punch didn't even unleash the power of the Great Vajra Staff, it was purely the power of his body. The mighty force surprised Gao Xian.

Gao Xian practiced the Iron Dragon Fist, which is the only Fist Technique he knows.

After ten moves of the Iron Dragon Fist, the surrounding Five Elements spiritual energy had already dissipated into mist, swirling and dancing around him.

Gao Xian drew the Azure Lotus Sword, and the seventy catties of the Azure Lotus Sword felt as light as a feather in his hand.

His strength has increased by a considerable amount, and more importantly, his form and spirit are perfectly unified. He can also control the sword with precision when flying, and his Sword Technique has slightly improved.

He also tested the power of the Great Vajra Staff, which became even more fierce and powerful. Unfortunately, the activation speed is still slow.

Gao Xian's consciousness entered the Hall of Heart and Mind and conducted various tests on his new body.

The main focus was on testing various limits, such as the limit of damage he can withstand, and so on.

At this stage, his every move exuded a powerful aura. With just his physical body, he was capable of withstanding ordinary Rank Three Magical Items.

This was also the aspect that Gao Xian was most satisfied with. A strong body meant a significantly increased margin for error.

The two clones formed by the Great Principle Divine Transformation could obtain seventy percent of the original body's strength. The enhancement in physical strength brought about by the Great Vajra Staff directly increased the power of the clones.

During close combat, there was also a greater chance of winning.

It took Gao Xian more than ten days to adapt to his new body and new strength.

Calculating the time, it was already the end of December.

Shui Yu Ying was coming, but they would have to wait until after the New Year.

With Azure Cloud Sect being such a large sect, there were various matters at the end and beginning of the year. Shui Yu Ying wouldn't have any free time until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Gao Xian saw that there were still over two million Human Dao Spiritual Light points, so he added them all to the Great Principle Divine Transformation technique, elevating this secret technique to the expert realm.

With the upgrade of the Great Principle Divine Transformation technique, the three divine appearances became even more solid, and there was a significant improvement in various spells.

The consumption of magic power when transforming into a clone was lower, and the duration of existence was longer. A clone could be projected up to two thousand steps away.

The Taiji Profound Light Invisible Robe also gained several hundred thousand points of proficiency.

Unfortunately, there was too little Human Dao Spiritual Light remaining, not enough to upgrade the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Robe.

After more than a year of arduous cultivation, Gao Xian's cultivation base had greatly advanced, and both secret techniques had reached the Advanced Grade, resulting in a significant overall increase in combat power.

If it weren't for waiting for Shui Yu Ying, Gao Xian would have already set off for home.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven was extremely pure and fierce. In this special environment, it was more conducive for him to refine himself.

The Great Vajra Staff had only reached the expert level and had relied on accelerated training, so it was ultimately lacking the solid and pure refinement of a thousand hammers and a hundred fires.

Thus, he continued to wait until March. Gao Xian, who was meditating and resting, suddenly felt a connection and opened his eyes.

Two rays of light were swiftly flying towards him in the sky. The one leading the way, controlling the cloud light umbrella, was none other than Shui Yu Ying.

The man behind Shui Yu Ying had a sturdy figure and a thick beard on his face. Surprisingly, it was Ye Qiuxiu, Master Ye Huan.

After Gao Xian severely injured Ye Qiuxiu that day, he had a deep impression of this Gold Core Perfected Being who had suddenly arrived.

The methods of the Giant Spirit Sect, combining Body Refining and Dharma Phase Integrated Union, were extremely exquisite and powerful.

At that time, Gao Xian had thought that if Shui Yu Ying sought Ye Huan's help, it would indeed be somewhat troublesome.

Gao Xian silently praised himself for his wit. Fortunately, he had sent Yun Qingxuan to divert Shui Yu Ying. This woman was really cautious.

A dignified Gold Core Perfected Being seeking revenge with a Gold Core helper!

After a year's time, the situation was completely different.

Gold Core Perfected Beings like Shui Yu Ying and Ye Huan had a lifespan of seven to eight hundred years, and their concept of time was completely different from that of ordinary people.

They couldn't possibly imagine how much progress he had made in this year.

Gao Xian first activated the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Robe, then activated the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel, and took the initiative to meet these two.

When both sides were fifty steps apart, they naturally stopped. Shui Yuying knew that Gao Xian was physically strong, so she didn't want to get too close to him.

Ye Huanyuan didn't have this concern. He just needed to cooperate with Shui Yuying, so there was no need to get too close.

Gao Xian also didn't want to get too close. The other side had two Gold Core Perfected Beings, so it was better for him to be cautious.

"Perfected Being Shui, Perfected Being Ye, you've come a long way. Thank you for your hard work," Gao Xian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, being polite and friendly.

Shui Yuying was a bit puzzled. Gao Xian's reaction was off!

Having suffered a loss from Gao Xian before, Shui Yuying was very cautious of him. This guy was cunning and sly, and she couldn't underestimate him.

For this reason, she had paid a considerable price to ask Ye Huanyuan for help.

Seeing her and Ye Huanyuan coming together, Gao Xian was still able to smile?!

Shui Yuying's Divine Sense roamed around, but she didn't find anything unusual. Before coming in, she had also checked with the cultivators guarding the formation and confirmed that no one else had entered or left in the past year.

These days, the sect had important matters to attend to, and Yun Qingxuan, Yun Changfeng, and others couldn't leave.

Suppressing her doubts, Shui Yuying gave Gao Xian a cold smile. "Gao Xian, when I have you in my hands, let's see if you can still smile."

Gao Xian shook his head slightly. "Perfected Being Shui, we can be considered to have had a night of fate. Why bother with this?"

"Between the Divine Transmissions of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, it is forbidden to fight. Do you want to violate the sect's rules? You can't afford the consequences," he said sincerely. "Yuying, turn around and leave now, and I can pretend this never happened."

The more Shui Yuying listened, the angrier she became. This guy wanted to manipulate her with words, did he think she was a fool?

Today, only by tearing Gao Xian to pieces could she vent her hatred.

She ignored Gao Xian and said to Ye Huanyuan beside her, "Fellow Daoist, please take care of this guy. I have prepared the Blood Devil Flag, which can extract divine souls. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry..."

Ye Huanyuan saw Shui Yuying's teeth-gritting appearance and became curious. He wondered what Gao Xian had done to make her so furious.

Ye Huanyuan nodded, and golden light radiated from his body as he activated his Giant Spirit Qi. In the next moment, he raised the Iron Mountain Staff in his hand.

With a loud and heavy rumble, the Thousand Mountains Staff, carrying an immense force, had already descended above Gao Xian.

Gao Xian's vision went black, and the iron staff in Ye Huanyuan's hand seemed to transform into a towering mountain peak, crashing down from the sky.

Its heavy and majestic momentum enveloped everything. The floating Five Elements Qi and spiritual light in the sky were suppressed like mist, drifting in all directions. The might of a Gold Core Perfected Being was fully revealed in this moment.

Gao Xian's expression also slightly changed. What a powerful force! Ye Huanyuan, as a Body Refining Gold Core, was even stronger than his upgraded Great Vajra Staff.

If it weren't for Shui Yuying, he could still confront Ye Huanyuan head-on and see who was stronger. After all, he had his clones and wouldn't suffer a loss. But now, he had to create some distance to avoid being attacked from both the front and the back by the old man and the old lady.

Shui Yuying, who was watching, brightened her eyes. Ye Huanyuan's Iron Mountain Staff was indeed formidable, especially when combined with his Giant Spirit Qi. It was truly mighty and unparalleled.

At the Gold Core level, such a fierce and powerful force was rarely seen.

With such momentum, let's see how that arrogant kid can defend himself!

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Shui Yuying's lips.
