Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 332: Five Elements Unification, True Immortal

"Why are you so absent-minded?"

Gao Xian's first love and desk mate had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't get a response from Gao Xian. Slightly unhappy and a little puzzled, she asked.

Not getting a response from Gao Xian, she poked him on the face and said, "Scared?"

Gao Xian felt a bit of pain from being poked, and his gaze refocused on his desk mate.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a loose school uniform that didn't reveal her figure, already had an unbeatable youthfulness with her smooth and elastic collagen-filled face. The innocence and cunning unique to teenage girls between her eyebrows and eyes were so vivid and charming.

"Huh, why did I think of unbeatable youthfulness..."

Gao Xian didn't know why this thought came to mind. As a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, why was he so old-fashioned?!

Looking at his desk mate again, for some reason, various thoughts couldn't be suppressed and emerged, like a gushing oil well.

He keenly sensed that something was off with his own state of mind. Even if teenagers have fantasies, they wouldn't be so impure and greasy.

But Gao Xian couldn't figure out why he was like this. He had a vague feeling that he shouldn't be here!

The desk mate, who didn't get a response, had a slightly unpleasant expression on her face. She became angry and pouted, turning her back to Gao Xian with her long ponytail.

Gao Xian couldn't help but reach out and lightly touch the swaying black hair. The soft and smooth strands slipped through his fingers, giving him a strange sensation.

The girl felt someone touching her hair and turned her head to glare at Gao Xian. "Don't touch my hair, or I'll call the teacher!"

As she spoke, her long eyelashes blinked, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with both joy and annoyance. Her pursed lips seemed like they were about to break into a smile the next moment.

Gao Xian resisted the urge to touch the girl's cheek and just smiled at her.

"You smile like an old gatekeeper!"

A smile was enough to make the girl forgive Gao Xian. Her lips curled up slightly, and her bright eyes were filled with simple and sincere joy.

Gao Xian felt like sighing, but he didn't know why.

After school, Gao Xian absentmindedly carried his school bag and walked home. In this small county town, his house was only a little over three kilometers away from the school.

There weren't many cars or people in the small county town, and he walked slowly on the sidewalk. Everything was as usual, without any differences.

But Gao Xian knew something was wrong. He didn't know what was wrong, but everything just felt off.

The biggest problem was that his mind was blank, as if he had lost his memory. The strange thing was that he still remembered everything about himself.

When he returned home, his mother had already prepared dinner.

While eating the home-cooked meal made by his mother, Gao Xian had the urge to cry.

After finishing the meal, Gao Xian was sent back to his room to study.

Gao Xian held his high school physics exercises and fell into deep contemplation. He recognized every word and symbol, but when they were put together, he was at a loss.

He thought of a sentence: "People cannot imagine anything beyond their cognition."

This sentence was actually easy to understand. Any imagination of a person is based on their own cognition. Any absurd imagination must have its roots in reality. Just like how even the most absurd dreams are formed and pieced together based on your own experiences and cognition.

Gao Xian's understanding was that people cannot surpass their own wisdom. For example, if he couldn't solve this physics problem, then he couldn't solve it.

Gao Xian threw the book aside and lay on the bed, staring with wide eyes for a long time, not knowing when he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, during morning self-study, Gao Xian took out the physics exercises and asked the girl to help him solve the problems.

The girl looked at him with a strange expression and said, "You suddenly want to study, that's a bit unusual..."

After teasing him for a while, the girl finally couldn't resist Gao Xian's request and briefly explained a few things to him.

Gao Xian's face looked a bit strange.

When the third physics class ended, Gao Xian took the opportunity while the teacher hadn't left yet and went over to ask the teacher about the physics problem.

The middle-aged balding teacher glanced at the exercise and casually said a few words with a cold attitude, then lightly pushed Gao Xian away and left.

But Gao Xian didn't give up. He didn't know why he was so bold, completely ignoring the strange gazes of his classmates and the resistant attitude of the teacher.

He followed the bald teacher to the office and respectfully asked the teacher for advice.

The bald teacher was very impatient, "Didn't I already tell you? Go back and think about it yourself..."

Gao Xian smiled, "Teacher, you don't really not know, do you?"

The bald teacher became angry, his face turning red, even his bald head started sweating. He stood up abruptly, raised his chubby hand to gesture, but when he saw Gao Xian standing there motionless, he put his hand down.

"If you don't understand, don't blame me! It's your brain that's not good..."

The bald teacher pushed Gao Xian, but Gao Xian somehow naturally contracted his chest to absorb the force, and he didn't move at all.

The teacher was surprised, and Gao Xian was also surprised. He thought for a moment and smiled at the bald teacher, "It's my brain that's not good, I didn't understand. Goodbye, teacher."

Gao Xian returned to the classroom, and the girl sitting next to him asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

The girl was very confused and even a little worried about the sudden change in her classmate.

"I'm fine, I just can't bear to leave you," Gao Xian looked into the girl's eyes and said softly.

"Ah?!"

The girl's face turned red instantly. She stared at Gao Xian, not knowing what to say or do.

Gao Xian sighed softly, "I don't want to wake up from this dream."

But he understood that all of this was ultimately just an illusion. No matter how beautiful it was, no matter what was hidden behind the illusion, being immersed in illusions was meaningless.

It was like using drugs or alcohol to numb oneself temporarily, seemingly finding relief, but actually falling into an endless abyss.

Gao Xian didn't know where this realization came from or how he gained this understanding, but he had confirmed that everything in front of him was just his imagination.

His first love, who was so good at studying, couldn't solve a physics problem. The physics teacher's explanations were also unclear.

The reason was simple, he didn't know how to solve the problem. But if someone else could solve it, he would definitely understand.

Gao Xian knew that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was. He thought of a simple way to confirm it.

After verifying, nothing changed.

Gao Xian thought of a way to break free, which was to die. But if he guessed wrong, what would happen?

He thought for a moment and decided not to rush. If it was just an illusion he imagined, there would be too many flaws.

A person's imagination is actually very limited.

Just like how a person can imagine what a fly looks like, but they absolutely cannot imagine the structure inside the fly's body.

So, this could be easily verified.

Gao Xian bought a magnifying glass, went back and caught two flies, and carefully observed them. Sure enough, the flies had no body structure, only messy blood.

This matched his impression of flies, but it didn't match his knowledge of biology.

Knowing something roughly but not understanding it completely, there was no way to imagine the complete details.

After several verifications, Gao Xian confirmed that it was an illusion. He didn't know where his strong confidence came from, but he was certain.

In the afternoon after school, Gao Xian climbed up to the rooftop of the teaching building and looked down at the large number of students flowing out.

Someone spotted him and pointed at him in surprise.

Soon, it attracted the attention of many students. Everyone stared at him with a mix of shock, unease, and curiosity on their faces.

Among the crowd of students, Gao Xian saw the girl sitting next to him. At this distance, he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could pick her out from thousands of students with just one glance.

The girl was also familiar with Gao Xian. She couldn't believe her eyes and took a few steps forward to confirm. It really was Gao Xian!

She was a little anxious and waved at Gao Xian, gesturing for him to come down quickly. There were too many people around, and she didn't want to shout at Gao Xian.

Gao Xian stood at the corner of the rooftop, smiled at the girl, and crossed his hands above his head, making a big heart gesture.

Many students exclaimed, "Wow!" This guy came up to the rooftop to confess his love. He's such a show-off!

The girl was a bit stunned. She felt a mix of shyness and anger. How could he show off like this in public, and in such a dangerous place? He's risking his life!

Before she could say anything, she saw Gao Xian fall down from above.

The young girl immediately screamed in shock, and many people around her also screamed along.

"This sound is really unpleasant..."

With this thought in mind, Gao Xian suddenly crashed to the ground, his vision went black, and his consciousness seemed to fall into endless darkness.

Yun Qiushui, standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, suddenly frowned deeply.

Even through the protective formation, he could faintly sense that Gao Xian's aura had become unusually obscure and deep.

Such a change during the Golden Core stage was definitely not a good sign.

However, the Golden Core stage relied solely on the cultivator themselves, and outsiders, no matter how strong their cultivation base, could not interfere.

Even if Gao Xian was in a bad situation, going in would not be of any help, and might even worsen things for him.

Yun Qiushui only hoped that Gao Xian could remain calm. If he couldn't reach the third rank, he could at least retreat to the Golden Core stage.

Beforehand, Yun Qiushui had prepared the Nine Cycles Small Revitalizing Pill for Gao Xian. If the situation became dire, he could use the pill to stabilize his injuries and still have a great chance of forcefully forming a Golden Core.

Yun Qiushui waited for a long time, but still couldn't sense any changes in the formation's aura. He couldn't help but become more worried.

At the same time, Shui Yujun on Xuanxiao Peak was looking at the Mirror of Heaven.

Gao Xian's Golden Core, Yun Qiushui's protection, all of this couldn't escape the Mirror of Heaven's detection.

These past few days, Shui Yujun hadn't done anything else. He had been constantly monitoring Gao Xian's situation through the Mirror of Heaven.

Gao Xian had a deep grudge with the Shui family, and if such a grudge-ridden person were to form a Golden Core, it would be a big problem.

If Gao Xian were to reach the third rank of the Golden Core stage, it would be even more troublesome.

If it were just about Shui Yujun, it wouldn't be impossible to negotiate. But now, he had fallen into Gao Xian's hands.

If he wanted to confront the Yun family and secure his position as the head of the Kun Department, he had to deal with Gao Xian.

As long as Gao Xian lived, everyone would remember that he had once been defeated by Gao Xian.

Not to mention, Gao Xian was a staunch supporter of the Yun family. If Gao Xian also reached the third rank of the Golden Core stage, how could the Shui family survive? How could the other families survive?

The impact of this on their interests was too great!

The simplest scenario was that Gao Xian would receive huge support from the sect for his Golden Core stage. Without Gao Xian, some of these resources would fall into the hands of the other families.

How many talents could these resources cultivate?

Just one time would be fine, but as long as Gao Xian lived, the benefits he gained would only increase.

Azure Cloud Sect was already a big pot, and if Gao Xian took a bigger share, they would have to take a smaller one.

Can they endure for one or two years? How about a hundred years or two hundred years?

You should know that the resources lost in one or two hundred years, how many generations of people could they cultivate?

If it were just a personal grudge, they could endure. But for Gao Xian, Shui Yujun couldn't bear it anymore.

Gao Xian was also deeply hidden and restrained, never running around within Azure Cloud Sect.

Under Yun Zaitian's watchful eyes, Shui Yujun didn't dare to make too many plans.

Shui Yujun just hoped that Gao Xian would fail in forming his Golden Core, preferably becoming a useless person. That would be best for everyone.

From the Mirror of Heaven, it could be seen that the spiritual energy above Gao Xian's house was very obscure. Looking at Yun Qiushui's appearance, it was clear that Gao Xian was in a bad situation.

Shui Yujun was somewhat happy. This was a good sign!

Many of the Gold Core Perfected Beings in Azure Cloud Sect were paying attention to Gao Xian in various ways.

After all, Gao Xian's remarkable achievements and extraordinary cultivation talent had been on full display in the past two years.

The lower levels of the sect didn't know the reason, but they regarded Gao Xian as the hope of the sect's future.

However, the Gold Core Perfected Beings had a more negative attitude towards Gao Xian. Gao Xian was a member of the Yun family, and that alone was enough to make them dislike him.

Not to mention that Gao Xian had a sinister and ruthless nature, even killing Shui Yujun! This violated the rules of the sect.

Such a person, who wouldn't be wary of him?!

Gao Xian was already so rampant when he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If he were to reach the third rank Gold Core, it would be even more troublesome!

No matter what the Gold Core Perfected Beings from all sides were thinking, they could only watch from the sidelines.

Seeing that Gao Xian was in a bad situation, many people secretly rejoiced.

A cloud light floated down from the sky like an umbrella. When the cloud light dispersed, Yun Qingxuan, wearing a green robe and a Daoist bun, appeared inside.

Many Gold Core Perfected Beings were surprised to see Yun Qingxuan appear.

Yun Qingxuan had a cold temperament and rarely interacted with Yun Changfeng and Yun Qiushui.

Although there were rumors that Gao Xian had a deep relationship with Yun Qingxuan, and even severely injured Zhang Changzhen of the Xuanzhen Sect for Gao Xian's sake, many people felt that it was Yun Changfeng's idea, and it might even be Yun Zaitian's command.

The main purpose was to show Yun Qingxuan's power and deter the thirty-six sects. Gao Xian was just an excuse.

At this moment, many Gold Core Perfected Beings suddenly realized that Yun Qingxuan and Gao Xian had a really good relationship.

In the courtyard, Yun Qiushui saw her sister coming and greeted her, saying, "It seems that Gao Xian is not doing well."

Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly but didn't say anything.

Whether it was good or bad, she couldn't help. She came here just to prevent anything from happening to Gao Xian.

With her presence, even if Gao Xian couldn't form his Golden Core, she could still keep him alive.

Yun Qingxuan felt that Gao Xian had great ambition and high intelligence. The more so, the more courageous and diligent he might be on the path of cultivation, without any hesitation.

If it were an ordinary talent, they might choose to settle for less, but Gao Xian would strive forward. This would inevitably lead to uncontrollable danger.

Yun Qingxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Cultivators should be like this.

On the path of cultivation, there was no foolproof plan.

Being timid and indecisive would never achieve anything.

As Yun Qingxuan thought of this, she suddenly sensed a change in the aura within the formation. She couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It seemed like he had made it through!

Gao Xian in the underground chamber had already opened his eyes.

Struggling out of the illusion, he fully recovered his memory and understood that he had just fallen into the Hearts Demon illusion.

Don't underestimate how easily he broke free. If someone didn't realize what was happening and became immersed in it, it wouldn't take long for the Hearts Demon illusion to consume their life force.

Fortunately, he had cultivated for more than twenty years and had a strong will. He immediately realized something was wrong and broke free.

At this point, he had swept away the last Hearts Demon.

In the center of Gao Xian's brow, Lan Jie smiled. Their souls and Lan Jie's together activated their life essence radiance.

Originally, the rotating positive and negative five-colored radiance converged and formed a complex nine-layer structure of the Returned to Origin Gold Core.

At this moment, the life essence radiance flourished, and the Returned to Origin Gold Core continuously purified within the life essence radiance, causing the positive and negative five-colored radiance on it to dissipate.

During this process, Gao Xian's life force was also burning madly.

It was only through the power of his life force that he could continuously purify this formed Gold Core.

After a while, this Gold Core had become pure inside and out, without any impurities.

Gao Xian realized that this was the flawless first rank Gold Core of this realm!

He couldn't help but feel delighted. After going through so much trouble and almost losing his life, he had finally succeeded!

In the Xuanming Temple on Qingxiao Peak, Nascent Soul True Monarch Yun Zaitian also opened his eyes.

He looked towards the direction of Xuan Du Mountain, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his gentle eyes.

In his eyes, he could see the gathering of the five elements and the flickering of hidden divine radiance, about to break through the sky...

"Break through the Hearts Demon and reveal the divine radiance, merge the five elements into one and become a True Immortal. Is this going to form a first rank pill?!"

Yun Zaitian's expression changed as he suddenly stood up, "No, this can't happen..."
