Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 326: Opportunity

Within the Blood Devil relic, there was still a strand of Divine Sense, which surprised Gao Xian.

According to the records in the Blood God Scripture, the Blood Devil relic is formed naturally after the soul and blood essence of a powerful Devil Dao cultivator condense.

The immense power of the cultivator collapses inward during their lifetime, solidifying into a sturdy and stable crystal under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth.

In this state, the cultivator's own soul and consciousness will inevitably shatter and disintegrate. Only when the soul and consciousness are shattered can it condense into such a crystal.

The relics left behind by the high monks of the Buddhist Gate, including some evil spirits that leave behind crystals after death, follow the same principle.

Living beings whose consciousness does not perish cannot condense into relics.

Only through complete death and under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth can relics be condensed and formed.

Just like the crystal cores left behind by evil spirits, they are of great value. No one would think that the crystal cores of evil spirits are dangerous.

Gao Xian was surprised because he was familiar with the Blood Devil relic, but he didn't expect that it still contained a strand of Divine Sense.

However, he immediately realized that this Divine Sense belonged to someone else and had no connection to the Blood Devil relic.

Gao Xian thought of the Devil Cultivator he had killed. Judging from his life state, he was at least five to six hundred years old.

Such a late-stage Gold Core Devil Cultivator was likely trying to refine a clone using the Blood Devil relic, but failed.

It made sense that there was a strand of Divine Sense remaining in the Blood Devil relic.

Moreover, the Blood Devil relic was closely connected to the Blood Divine Child, and only that Devil Cultivator could control this Blood Divine Child.

After the initial surprise, Gao Xian quickly calmed down. The opponent's Divine Sense could only invade the Tai Xuan Divine Avatar and couldn't directly harm him.

Furthermore, although the opponent's Divine Sense was strong, it carried a fierce and savage aura, indicating a lack of intelligence.

"The lingering obsession of a split soul from the devil's transformation. Originally, it wouldn't be a problem, but it triggered the power of the Blood Devil relic, making it unusually powerful and ferocious..."

With the Divine Avatar as a buffer, Gao Xian had time to calmly think about the cause and effect, and soon came to a reasonable conclusion.

There was nothing to be afraid of. As long as he shattered that strand of lingering soul, it would be fine.

Gao Xian visualized the mighty Vajra Staff and fiercely struck against the powerful and icy Divine Sense.

Even if the devil hadn't died, Gao Xian's Divine Sense was no less inferior to the opponent's, let alone when the opponent only had a strand of lingering soul left.

The enormous Vajra Staff, as large as the Tower of Heaven, smashed down, and a sharp blood light shattered with a thunderous roar.

The Tower of Heaven also left behind a deep and huge crack from the violent impact, almost shattering on the spot.

Without the guidance and control of this Divine Sense, the Blood Devil relic transformed back into a blood-colored crystal the size of a walnut.

This direct frontal attack almost caused Gao Xian's visualization of the Vajra Staff to shatter, causing him to suffer heavy damage even at the level of his divine soul.

The so-called non-retreat of the Great Vajra Staff is now revealed to be empty words.

In fact, it is the same for the Great Vajra Staff. What can it not retreat or change against the Gold Core Realm?

Not to mention the Gold Core Realm, even the Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and even the Pure Yang Dao Lord dare not claim to never retreat.

Gao Xian's head was splitting with pain, but he dared not rest or relax. He used the Qingmu Rejuvenation Technique on himself to barely suppress the intense pain.

Just as he shattered a trace of the demon's remnant soul, it was the best opportunity to refine the Blood Devil Relic.

He controlled the Tai Xuan Divine Appearance clone to operate the Blood Divine Nerves, trying his best to absorb the aura of the Blood Devil Relic.

After more than ten days, the Tai Xuan Divine Appearance clone finally left a trace of Divine Sense imprint on the Blood Devil Relic, becoming its temporary owner.

Hua Qianhe used the Blood Devil Relic as the core to refine the Blood Divine Banner. Now, Gao Xian can also barely control the Blood Divine Banner through the Blood Devil Relic.

However, this Rank Three Spiritual Weapon is extremely powerful, and at the level of the Tai Xuan Divine Appearance clone, it is extremely difficult to control.

After barely refining the Blood Devil Relic, Gao Xian recalled the clone back to the camp.

Yun Qiushui was not present, and Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. With his current miserable appearance, Yun Qiushui would definitely ask him about it.

He couldn't tell the truth, and lying would betray his friend.

Back in his room, Gao Xian swallowed two Sixth Grade Golden Turtle Pills.

The Golden Turtle Pills are specialized in nurturing the spirit and stabilizing the soul. They have a very good effect on injuries to the spiritual and soul levels.

Medicine Pills for treating soul injuries are very rare, and two Sixth Grade Golden Turtle Pills cost ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones each, which is quite exaggerated.

Gao Xian is very powerful at the Divine Sense level, and with Lan Jie and the Great Vajra Staff, he is generally unlikely to be injured.

But out of caution, he still prepared three Golden Turtle Pills as backup.

Sure enough, he actually needed them.

The Golden Turtle Pills are expensive, but their effects are immediate. The gentle power of Spiritual Qi continuously permeated his sea of consciousness, nourishing the soul deep within.

Gao Xian recuperated for seven days before fully recovering.

However, after this injury, Gao Xian found that his proficiency with the Great Vajra Staff had greatly improved.

Obviously, this kind of injury is a good tempering for the Great Vajra Staff.

After all, it was cultivated in a hurry, and Gao Xian did not go through the process of true refinement. His Great Vajra Staff lacked two points of indestructibility.

This is not a problem with the Great Vajra Staff, but a personal deficiency in his spiritual realm.

Gao Xian also realized this problem. His Sword Intent is extremely high now, but in other aspects, he has added points to make up for it, resulting in a lack of his own understanding when using them.

The form and spirit of the Great Vajra Staff are unified inside and out, making it a very good integration for the various secret techniques he cultivates.

From this perspective, the Great Vajra Staff is actually far superior to the Great Five Elements Technique.

The Great Principle Divine Transformation is another path. It is superior in terms of level compared to the Great Vajra Staff, but for his current situation, it is a bit too high.

Condensing the Gold Core is the foundation of powerful life essence, and a powerful divine soul can enhance his potential. A powerful Divine Sense can also enhance the efficiency of the Golden Core.

The transformation of the Great Vajra Staff Dharma Phase is essentially the condensation of Divine Sense into form. Divine Sense originates from the divine soul.

Therefore, there is a close connection between these three.

The ten levels of Foundation Establishment are meant to temper Divine Sense and refine the spiritual aperture, preparing for the Golden Core.

Gao Xian discovered this cultivation method, which not only helps him refine the Blood Devil Relic but also sharpens his Divine Sense and divine soul. It even allows him to cultivate a clone, which is truly a great gain.

Of course, one must be cautious and control the timing. One should not truly harm their divine soul. The Golden Turtle Pill is expensive, and constantly being injured will also result in a loss of connection to the source.

In the following days, Gao Xian went to the Poison Fire Cave every day to refine the Blood Devil Relic.

His method of refinement was also simple and crude, using the Great Vajra Staff Dharma Phase to strike the Blood Devil Relic. The Blood Devil Relic was between reality and illusion, extremely solid and unshakable. The Great Vajra Staff Dharma Phase could not shake the Blood Devil Relic and would instead be damaged.

Under Gao Xian's control, these minor injuries could quickly recover.

Before long, Gao Xian found a rhythm for his cultivation: practice for one day and rest for three days. This way, he could continuously sharpen his divine soul and Divine Sense with the Great Vajra Staff without causing fundamental harm.

As for Yun Qiushui, he found a cave filled with billions of quintessence of gold. It manifested as golden light phantoms, with an extremely sharp quintessence of gold and a rudimentary spiritual intelligence, automatically attacking intruders.

Yun Qiushui enjoyed honing his Sword Qi inside the cave. Although his sword was powerful, he came from a prestigious family and had encountered smooth sailing all the way. As a result, his sword lacked some killing intent and sharpness.

The stern and sharp quintessence of gold was of great benefit to Yun Qiushui after practicing his sword here for a long time.

Gao Xian had been to the cave a few times. While he could practice his sword there, the honing of his sharpness was too excessive and not very beneficial for him.

Yun Qiushui felt it was a pity and believed that Gao Xian had a stronger talent in Sword Technique and could completely pursue the path of sword cultivation. However, Gao Xian was unwilling, and he couldn't force him.

The two of them practiced separately and stayed in the Fire Palace for over a year.

One day, Gao Xian suddenly had a feeling and recalled his Tai Xuan Divine Projection back to the camp.

After entering the tent, Gao Xian sat in the Lotus Position and closed his eyes. Lan Jie appeared in his mind, and he simultaneously activated the Five Elements Unity Technique.

The Great Five Elements Technique and the Five Elements Unity Technique merged together, with Yin and Yang intersecting and rotating, constantly refining the spiritual light in his mind.

The originally small spiritual light suddenly surged by an inch.

The spiritual light in his heart and lower abdomen also shimmered and surged, and the three spiritual lights united into one powerful light, penetrating Gao Xian's body inside and out, illuminating the dark sea of consciousness, and illuminating Gao Xian's divine soul.

Through the convergence and operation of three spiritual lights, the Magic power is pure and powerful.

Gao Xian knew that he had reached the tenth level of the Advanced Grade Foundation Establishment, and he even faintly felt a touch of inspiration between heaven and earth.

Taking advantage of the situation, he could completely form a Gold Core.

Gao Xian hesitated for a moment and decided to give up. It was too hasty to form a Golden Core now.

Upon reaching the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, he still needed to refine his Magic power and Divine Sense to make them as perfect as possible.

This requires time and cannot be achieved overnight.

When one is about to succeed, one must not be impatient.

Gao Xian has been in the Azure Cloud Sect for more than ten years and has learned a lot.

Especially the various details of the Golden Core, which were repeatedly mentioned by Yun Qiushui, Yun Qingxuan, and even Yun Changfeng.

The three Gold Core Perfected Beings each emphasized different points, but all stressed the importance of not being impatient with the Golden Core.

When entering the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, it is indeed easy to have a connection with heaven and earth and sense the inspiration of the Golden Core.

However, this kind of inspiration comes and goes quickly and is very unstable.

Rogue Cultivators without a sect can take advantage of this opportunity to make a breakthrough.

However, cultivators from major sects do not need to seek shortcuts.

Gao Xian opened his eyes. With his cultivation base at this level, he should return to the sect.

The complex and ever-changing Spiritual Qi in the Fire Departed Palace is not suitable for nurturing Magic power and Divine Sense.

When Yun Qiushui returned, Gao Xian told him about this matter.

Yun Qiushui was somewhat surprised. Gao Xian had only reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment a year ago, and now he had reached the tenth level in just over a year!

This progress can be described as rapid.

"The tenth level of Foundation Establishment requires nurturing of Magic power and Divine Sense. It is indeed not suitable to stay here," Yun Qiushui thought for a moment and said, "I have also almost finished refining my sword. If I continue, it will harm the foundation. Let's return to the sect together..."

Back at the sect, Gao Xian and Yun Qiushui went to see Yun Changfeng together.

Yun Changfeng praised Gao Xian for a while. The news of Gao Xian killing a Gold Core Devil Cultivator had caused a sensation in the sect.

After two years, Yun Changfeng was still excited when mentioning this matter.

He said to Gao Xian, "The Golden Core is of great importance. You should focus on cultivating in the sect and not worry about other matters..."

After leaving Yun Changfeng, Yun Qiushui said seriously to Gao Xian, "Brother Gao, it's not too late for you to switch to sword cultivation now. If you are willing, I will talk to our master and give you insight into the 'Taiwei Feixian Sword Technique'..."
