I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”The reconstruction of a shattered core is indeed not something an ordinary person can achieve...”

Watching the enormous, golden, and bright Golden Core above his head, Gu Yuan smiled with his eyes and couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

Those who have not experienced a shattered core cannot understand that feeling.

It’s like severing limbs, cleaving oneself into a human swine; that kind of immense disparity and fear arises naturally.

Even though Gu Yuan had condensed the Dragon Essence Golden Shell and possessed the Tribulation-avoiding Dragon Talisman, he couldn’t dispel the profound sense of defeat deep within his heart.

As if in an instant, falling from the clouds to the dust.

But fortunately, all went smoothly, without any danger.

Return to the Golden Core Realm!

”So this is the Dragon Essence Golden Core...”

Gu Yuan gazed at the massive Golden Core above his head and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

This Golden Core is two full sizes larger than the one he forged during his first tribulation. Moreover, countless golden runes flowed like wandering dragons, exuding an indescribable wonderful charm.

”Whoosh!”

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan opened his mouth to swallow.

The Golden Core gleefully responded, swallowed into his abdomen.

”Boom!”

In an instant, brilliant golden light rose from within Gu Yuan, his stagnant mana and aura of eighteen years suddenly surged, as if those eighteen years of arduous cultivation were finally rewarded at this moment.

Countless Spiritual Qi poured in waves, enveloping the entire mountaintop in misty clouds.

Spiritual Qi condensed into liquid, like rain and fog, lingering around Gu Yuan.

Only after a very long time did all anomalies slowly dissipate.

”Two hundred strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power, it turns out the mana has doubled...”

Gu Yuan’s consciousness dove into his body, only to see around the massive Golden Core, strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power circulating, resembling golden galaxies, with a full two hundred strands.

For a Golden Core cultivator, condensing mana is extremely arduous.

Upon first entering the Golden Core stage, generally speaking, one acquires about eighty strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power. Gu Yuan’s foundation was much deeper than ordinary people, hence he started his Golden Core stage with a hundred strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power.

But to break through to the Mid-Stage Golden Core, one must have at least five hundred strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power!

Previously, despite entering the Golden Core Realm for decades, Gu Yuan had barely condensed a few strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power, with slow cultivation progress.

However, part of this was due to his dedication to cultivating techniques and refining Dharma Seals, without earnest cultivation efforts.

Otherwise, with his current root bone, he could have condensed several dozen strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power.

About one strand of Gold-Attribute Magical Power per year.

Generally speaking, unless severely lacking talent or damaged foundation, with a Golden Core cultivator’s lifespan, one can certainly achieve Mid-Stage Golden Core.

It’s merely a question of time.

But Late Stage Golden Core requires a full two thousand strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power, and understanding the profound truth within techniques, which is extremely challenging.

Thus, Late Stage Golden Core cultivators are very scarce.

And after Gu Yuan formed the Dragon Essence Golden Core, his mana surged, reaching two hundred strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power.

It saved him over a hundred years of hard work!

Just for this alone, the risk taken is well worth it.

And this is merely the tip of the iceberg of the Dragon Essence Golden Core!

If previously Gu Yuan’s Gold-Attribute Magical Power was a thin thread, now the power of the Dragon Essence Golden Core is like a golden needle, very resilient, carrying a trace of immortal aura, and extremely lively.

In a daze, it seems like the tendons and membranes of a dragon body, full of anomalies.

”Is this Dragon Essence Magical Power?”

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred slightly.

If before his magical power was threads, now it’s a golden needle.

While the quantity remains unchanged, the quality greatly increases!

If engaged in magical combat with others, one strand of his magical power could at least match three strands of an ordinary cultivator!

Not only that, Gu Yuan’s consciousness delved into the depths of the Golden Core, where two strands of golden light glistened like the most solid objects in the world, full of immortal aura!

Immortal Golden Nature!

Two strands!

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

With two strands of Immortal Golden Nature, who in the world can compare?

Unexpectedly, he gained an additional trump card.

Although he also has the Three-heart Gold Seal and the Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal, these are external objects, not something condensed by oneself.

Self-forged Lifebound Golden Seal, all cultivators have only one!

”Unfortunately, the Sword Seal falls a bit short...”

Looking at these two strands of Golden Nature, Gu Yuan felt a sense of melancholy.

Once the Golden Seal is chosen, it cannot be changed.

Though the Boundless Sword Seal possesses impressive power, having witnessed the Sword Fox Immortal’s Illusion Sword Technique, Gu Yuan realized this seal doesn’t count as a top-tier technique.

The segmented sword light is certainly sharp, but it lacks agility and mystery.

Like a direct and swift sword with only one method.

Although not low-grade, it’s ultimately not profound enough.

And aside from the Sword Seal, Gu Yuan hasn’t decided on another Golden Nature allocation.

Though the Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal and the Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal have substantial power, they seem a bit lacking as Golden Seals.

Seals like the Three-heart Gold Seal and Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal are rare and peculiar techniques.

Only such unique seals that ordinary people don’t possess are suitable as Golden Seals.

Gu Yuan has two strands of Golden Nature, and his idea is to choose a Seal of Slaughter for protection and another seal to enhance cultivation or provide life-saving capabilities.

That would be most appropriate.

But for now, there seems to be no ideal seal.

”If we really talk about it, the Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal seems like a good choice?”

Gu Yuan silently pondered.

If this seal achieved the Golden Seal status, it could likely disregard Tier Three Arrays, escaping dozens of miles with just a thought, it’s an excellent life-saving technique.

But after thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan decided to abandon this idea.

Just wait!

Golden Nature is profoundly mysterious, in an instant, it can achieve a Golden Seal, there’s no need to rush.
