Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Chapter 275 The True Lord's Promise

"Finally, I've successfully formed my core and reached the Golden Core realm..."

Lin Changsheng felt incredibly relaxed and overjoyed.

That year, Lin Changsheng was 143 years old and was promoted to Golden Core True Person.

Although he has the memory inheritance of 'Heavenly Poison True Man', the talent of 'Heaven Rewards Diligence', and the accumulation of a hundred years of cultivation.

He was full of confidence that he would achieve the Golden Core realm in this lifetime.

But taking this step was still a completely new experience for Lin Changsheng.

Inside the cave, Lin Changsheng's face showed joy as he sensed the state of his body.

The first thing I noticed was a vigorous and powerful aura; the Changchun Gong power within my body had been refined and become increasingly pure.

Lin Changsheng had originally used a disguise and bone-shrinking technique, while simultaneously concealing his aura with the 'Netherworld Spirit Pearl'.

Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to see through.

However, it's likely that he can no longer hide the fact that he's focusing on wood-attribute techniques in his attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm.

But it doesn't matter to him now.

Even without the appearance of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the Golden Core realm is almost a force to be reckoned with.

Which cultivator who can advance to the Golden Core stage hasn't had some kind of stroke of luck?

Looking back on his 120 years of cultivation, Lin Changsheng couldn't help but feel emotional.

When he first entered the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, the Qinglan Sect, with its Golden Core cultivators in charge, was already a behemoth in his eyes.

Who could have imagined that the mortal boy, who was too old to join the Qinglan Sect, was ineligible?

More than a hundred years later, he was able to stand on equal footing with Qingyun Zhenren of the Qinglan Sect, becoming a cultivator of the same realm.

In addition to the change in magical power, Lin Changsheng's spiritual sense also increased by more than double.

When Lin Changsheng first entered the Golden Core realm, the strength of his divine sense was almost comparable to that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The strength of one's spiritual sense is especially important for cultivators.

For Lin Changsheng, whether it's making talismans, refining pills, activating high-level talismans far beyond his current level, or fighting with others and activating magic weapons and treasures, etc.

All of these are directly related to the strength of one's spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, the sheer strength of his spiritual sense alone is enough to give Lin Changsheng a significant advantage over other cultivators of the same level.

In terms of lifespan, a normal Golden Core cultivator's lifespan is approximately five hundred years.

Some people who practice special health-preserving techniques or regularly consume rare and precious herbs that can extend their lifespan to over six hundred years.

Lin Changsheng still couldn't sense his exact lifespan, only that he was full of vitality, especially after advancing to the Golden Core realm, his life level improved, and his entire body was filled with a powerful life force.

His exact lifespan is unknown, but it is certain that it far exceeds that of ordinary Golden Elixir cultivators.

Lin Changsheng was very satisfied with the changes in himself.

The next moment, he got up and left the cave.

"Welcome back Elder Zhang from seclusion!"

Inside Mingling Peak, more than twenty disciples had already learned about Elder Zhang Meng by word of mouth and had been waiting respectfully outside for a long time.

When their elders are promoted to Golden Core True Persons, they will be on equal footing with the elders of other peaks. Then, the disciples of Mingling Peak will be of the same seniority as the disciples of other sects, and will no longer have to feel inferior to others.

"Congratulations, Master, on advancing to the Golden Core realm!"

Lin Changsheng's four disciples, Hao Chi, Han Jiuying, Lu Ming, and He Dawei, all stepped forward with excitement and pride to offer their congratulations.

With their master advancing to the Golden Core realm, the four of them would become disciples of Golden Core True Persons, their status and position rising accordingly.

With greater power from their master, disciples will naturally receive more opportunities for training.

……

"Golden Core aura! Elder Zhang Meng has formed a Golden Core!"

Seeing Lin Changsheng fly out of the cave, his golden core aura clearly visible, Master Tan couldn't help but say.

As they spoke, Lin Changsheng waved his hand to open the barrier and came to stand in front of them.

"Congratulations, Master Zhang Meng, on achieving the Golden Core realm!"

Master Tan, Master Yinshi, Master Ziyou, and even Master Wanku were among them, all offering their congratulations to Lin Changsheng, who had just reached the Golden Core stage.

These words of congratulations symbolized the recognition of the other peak elders, who truly treated Lin Changsheng as a cultivator of the same realm.

"Junior Zhang Meng greets the Supreme Elder."

However, Lin Changsheng's gaze first fell on the man in the black robe with gold patterns in front of him. Seeing the respectful manner of the other elders towards him, he roughly knew the man's identity and immediately took the initiative to greet him.

The man in the black robe with gold patterns in front of him exuded a chilling aura.

In the entire Ghost Valley Sect, only True Lord Ghost Valley possesses such power.

Simply standing with hands behind his back, silently hovering in front of you, he seems like an insurmountable mountain, making you feel breathless.

"A Nascent Soul True Monarch, terrifying indeed!"

Lin Changsheng was slightly surprised.

As one's cultivation level continues to improve, one becomes increasingly aware of the terrifying power of high-level cultivators.

Although he has now transcended the category of low-level cultivators and become a so-called high-level cultivator.

However, there is still a huge gap compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even a powerful late-stage Golden Core cultivator like 'Heavenly Poison True Man', who was invincible among his peers, could only die with resentment once he attracted the attention of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"The Golden Core realm is not the end. If you want to reach a higher realm in this life, you must learn from your mistakes and not be complacent or arrogant."

Lin Changsheng secretly became wary.

"Elder Zhang Meng's advancement to the Golden Core stage today is truly a cause for celebration."

"I had long heard that a genius with both alchemy and talisman skills had come to my Ghost Valley Sect, and seeing him today, I can confirm it is true. Elder Zhang Meng is not only exceptionally skilled, but his cultivation method also seems to have something extraordinary about it."

Guigu Zhenjun's gaze swept over Lin Changsheng, his dark and deep eyes filled with profound meaning.

For a moment, Lin Changsheng felt as if all his secrets were laid bare under the sharp gaze of the Ghost Valley True Monarch.

"You flatter me, Elder. I have wasted half my life. Fortunately, I joined the Ghost Valley Sect as an elder a few years ago, which is why I was able to advance to the Golden Core stage. I think it is related to the blessings and protection of the sect."

Lin Changsheng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly recovered and responded with a smile.

He knew that his disguise and bone-shrinking techniques had still been seen through by the Ghost Valley True Lord.

However, Guigu Zhenjun clearly didn't care much about this, so he didn't ask or expose it on the spot.

"Haha, Elder Zhang Meng is quite a remarkable person."

"However, Elder Zhang Meng is the first Golden Core True Person cultivated by my Ghost Valley Sect since its founding. Such a great event deserves to be rewarded. I wonder if Elder Zhang Meng has any preference for the sect's rewards? I will try my best to satisfy the sect's first Golden Core True Person."

Guigu Zhenjun remained calm, with a smile on his face, and spoke with great generosity.

Upon hearing this, everyone present except for Master Tan was stunned.

The other three were taken aback, then became extremely envious.

Wan Ku Zhenren, who had always been at odds with Lin Changsheng, was even more shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
