The tenacity of this disciple, one must concede, is most remarkable. Perhaps it was because I once told him the secret of the Dan Ding Sect, purposely provoking him to strive harder and break through to become the Sect Master, which gave him the pressure.

But now, judging by the sensed aura, my junior disciple is doing well.

This reminded Jin Quanxiu of the time when the alchemy child, an outer sect disciple, stood resolute amidst immense pressure, with a performance that was exceptionally impressive.

Wasn’t it this tenacity in him, apart from his monstrous talent, that I valued in this junior disciple of mine?

This boy is indeed teachable.

It’s a pity that we are people of the Desolate Regions, otherwise, Cheng’er, you might have gone further on the path of cultivation.

At this point, Jin Quanxiu finally lost the preocupation he had earlier. Perhaps this time, his junior disciple will be in closed-door cultivation for a long time. But he believes that once his disciple emerges, the whole sect will be shocked.

This is his intuition as a Nascent Soul Master.

However, obeying Jin Quanxiu’s secret order, Xiang Chen personally turned the cultivation areas of Liang Sheng and Shen Wuque into Forbidden Areas.

Without his order, no one in Green Cloud Peak was allowed to approach their closed-door cave mansions.

Liang Sheng cultivated in seclusion for fifty years.

Liang Sheng has still not appeared, but there is quite a stir in another place on Green Cloud Peak, only to hear a long howl echoing through the entire Green Cloud Peak.

Everyone couldn’t help but stop what they were doing and look in the direction of the howling sound. It turns out that Shen Wuque, who had been in closed- door cultivation for fifty years, had come out.

At this time, Jin Quanxiu also appeared on the scene, looking at Shen Wuque in the air, with a smile on his face, while Xiang Chen arrived a step later, even though he was in Green Cloud Peak.

Master, I have finally reached the Golden Core Realm.

Well done.

The truth is, achieving foundation establishment perfection is only a crucial step, representing that one has the qualifications to attack the Golden Core Realm. But whether one can successfully break through depends on fortune.

However, heaven did not let Green Cloud Peak down after all, and Shen Wuque really turned the tide, smoothly breaking through to the golden core realm.

Fifty years of waiting for the closed-door cultivation was worth it in the end. If Cheng’er were to come out now and see this, he would probably be happy for his second brother as well.

At this time, Shen Wuque’s excitement after the breakthrough was slowly calming down. It was then that he noticed Liang Sheng’s absence and was somewhat puzzled.

Master, where is junior brother?

That’s a long story. However, your junior brother is still in closed-door cultivation and nothing has happened to him. You don’t have to worry.”

Shen Wuque turned his head and looked at Xiang Chen again. Xiang Chen nodded his head as well, his face was normal, and only then was Shen Wuque completely at ease.

Once he was reassured, his carefree nature was immediately restored, and he suddenly laughed and said to Jin Quanxiu, “Master, I have broken through to the Golden Core Realm. I wonder if there are any rewards?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Quanxiu couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “You brat, you are already a Golden Core Daoist, why are you still so rogue? Fine, tonight I will take out the spiritual wine that I’ve been collecting for many years for you to drink freely. Are you satisfied?”

Master, you always spoil me. How could I be dissatisfied?

Shen Wuque winked at Xiang Chen with a laugh, “Eldest senior brother, you better not get drunk tonight.”

As long as you don’t start crying after drinking.

Instantly, laughter and joy echoed throughout Green Cloud Peak.

Jin Quanxiu’s second disciple, Shen Wuque, was officially promoted to a Golden Core Daoist!

Liang Sheng cultivated in seclusion for one hundred years.

By now, few people in the Green Cloud Peak apart from the inner sect disciples know the name of the third disciple of the Sect Master.

Even Xiang Chen, the Green Cloud Peak Master, had accepted a disciple forty years ago. As for Shen Wuque, he was not living in Green Cloud Peak at this time, but had gone to Danyang Peak to be a manager of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Two Golden Core Daoists can’t exist in the same peak at the same time unless they are master and disciple. Otherwise, it’s not a good thing in the long run.

This is the experience of the Dan Ding Sect for many years, and although Shen Wuque is casual in nature, he never drops the ball when it comes to important matters.

In the hundred years since Liang Sheng closed the doors, apart from the Dan Ding Sect and the Hua Tian Sect, no other sects had seen the emergence of a Nascent Soul Master.

The Hua Tian Sect has truly become the foremost among the Two Sects and Six Paths, their power exceeding what they possessed in the past by a significant margin.

After all, even though the Hua Tian Sect had twin Nascent Souls in the past, there were Nascent Soul Masters in other sects as well. Therefore, unless they were willing to risk their lives, no one dared to go too far.

But now, with Jin Quanxiu absent, Yu Longzi has become the only Nascent Soul Master in the sect alliance. Quantity doesn’t matter in front of a Nascent Soul Master, no matter how many Golden Core Daoists there are.

Therefore, imperceptibly, through more than a hundred years of gradual change, the situation of the Upper Green Sect being divided up has also changed.

The Hua Tian Sect has, unknowingly, effectively gained control of forty percent of the resources originally belonging to the Upper Green Sect.

Fortunately, their aggressiveness wasn’t too off-putting, so the structure of the Two Sects and Six Paths stayed relatively stable. However, a few hundred years later, if no other sect produces a Nascent Soul Master, no one can predict what the outcome will be.

No matter the outside situation, the Dan Ding Sect remained as stable as Mount Tai, neither arrogant nor impetuous. The only person from Green Cloud Peak who remained calm and unruffled was Liang Sheng.

Initially, Liang Sheng just wanted to engage in closed-door cultivation to keep up appearances. However, after experiencing the first decade, and noticing the other sects’ unabated ambition, he realized leaving the mountain was impossible in the short term.

So Liang Sheng also had to accept his fate, reduce cause and effect, and focus on cultivation. The Golden Yuan Pills he had refined over the years entered his body like broad beans, transforming into his internal mana.

As for the Nascent Soul Pills acting as his auxiliary cultivation resource during his breaks, it made his cultivation journey smoother.

Originally, Liang Sheng was just trying to kill time and thought about extending his closed-door cultivation a bit more so he could appear once things settled down.

However, who would have known that after he calms down and starts cultivating, the longer he closes himself off, the faster his cultivation progress is compared to before?

Hmm?

What’s going on?

In the tales of ancient cultivation, many cultivators would go into seclusion for as long as sixty years at a time. Except for those with great might above the Nascent Soul stage or those nearing a breakthrough, no cultivator would do such a thing nowadays.

Could it be that ancient cultivation methods inherently require long periods of seclusion and calm cultivation – the longer, the better? Liang Sheng didn’t know whether his guess was correct, but he did discover the astonishing effects of his long-term quiet seclusion.

Unknowingly, his cultivation results became increasingly noticeable every day, and Liang Sheng unwittingly became entirely engrossed in his cultivation.

By the time Liang Sheng had spent ninety years in seclusion, he had already successfully broken through to the Late Gold Core stage, with his whole body integrated and shining with golden light.

From his viscera to his epidermis, from his lower Dantian to his upper Dantian in his mind, even into his bone marrow, all were radiating golden light, making him seem like a supreme-ruler.

His whole body was flexible, and every bit of his flesh and blood contained terrifying power.

Presumably, even a casually pointed finger could shatter the heavens.

And it only took ninety years for Liang Sheng to reach the stage equivalent to the Late Gold Core realm, which was indeed a wonderful surprise.

Afterwards, he naturally followed the old rules, transforming the Primordial Mysterious Technique into the Upper Pure Immortal Scripture and the Pure Yang Pill Scripture, which ran through Zhou Tian, allowing the Upper Pure Immortal Scripture and Pure Yang Pill Scripture to break through to the fifteenth layer once again.

At this point, his data panel had the following appearance:

Name: Liang Sheng

Age: 1032

Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-Grade)

Techniques: Primordial Mysterious Technique (Third Layer), Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (Fifteenth Layer), Pure Yang Pill Scripture (Fifteenth Layer), Twenty Health Maintenance Techniques (Twenty-Second Layer), Nail- Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)

Realm: Qi Refining (Late Gold Core Stage)

Lifespan: 32294.

At this point, he had intended to end his cultivation, but who knew that another unexpected event would occur at this time.

The rate at which the Primordial Mysterious Technique was circulating in his body had increased by more than double after breaking into the Qi Refining stage post-advancement to the Late Gold Core Stage.

And under the influence of his talent, Innocent Foolishness, he had a special realization—he might have reached the critical point and was preparing for the next stage of breakthrough.

Because in the ancient cultivation methods, there is no idea of waiting for the Golden Core to be complete. The next stage after Qi Refining is Spirit Refining from Qi.

And under his talent, Innocent Foolishness, Liang Sheng didn’t experience any bottlenecks in his cultivation, so this special situation was created combining these two factors.

His breakthrough was imminent. Perhaps by the time he exits seclusion, he will have completely entered the stage of refining Qi into the spirit.

By that time, once Liang Sheng enters the Spirit Refining stage, he will be instantly equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm. By that time, if he exposes his real cultivation level, he will be known as—

A Nascent Soul Master!
