Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 441 - 50: New Ability of the Lifebound Spirit Plant!

"To have such resilience is comparable to the Immortal Body and Wood Spirit Dharma Body recorded in the scriptures!"

"This is definitely the physique that Body Refining Cultivators long for!"

"I actually have such fortune!"

Body Refining Cultivators are renowned for their physical toughness, and if combined with strong recovery ability, they become nearly indestructible monsters.

Imagine, if you painstakingly injured a Body Refining Cultivator,

only for him to quickly recover during subsequent battles, how despairing would that be!

"As for that Power of Time!"

Based on that formidable recovery ability just now, Zhou Xun had a suspicion in his heart.

"This Power of Life can greatly enhance my physical recovery speed, so which aspect will this Power of Time enhance?"

"Could it be... lifespan?"

Thinking this, even Zhou Xun, who had reached the Core Formation Stage, couldn’t help but feel a hint of excitement at his speculation.

Generally, a Cultivator’s lifespan is restricted within a range, and even consuming miraculous items like Longevity Pills has limited impact.

But this Power of Time appeared much more potent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun took out the Small Divination Compass.

Then he activated a spell and pointed it at himself.

His Divination Technique was incredibly mysterious, able to predict fortune and misfortune.

Calculating his own lifespan was naturally a piece of cake,

and as the Divination Compass glowed, Zhou Xun quickly obtained the answer.

His lifespan had astonishingly already reached twelve hundred years!

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s lifespan is only about a thousand years, which is two hundred years less than mine now!"

"With such abundant lifespan, plus my Immortal Golden Core, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage in the future seems certain!"

"To think I am only in the Early-Stage Core Formation now, who knows what level my lifespan will reach when I ascend to the Nascent Soul!"

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation.

"This lotus seed must be extraordinary, able to extend lifespan over twofold, yet even scriptures lack records of such a divine object!"

"Choosing it as my Lifebound Spirit Plant back then was truly the most correct decision!"

...

At the same time, just as Zhou Xun finished his epiphany, the massive Spiritual Energy Vortex, dozens of meters large, dissipated.

Calculating the time, the ninth day had just concluded.

Inside Master Sanchuan’s Cave Mansion.

"Finally... it’s over!" Master Sanchuan exclaimed.

"Master, do we still... recruit this person?"

The elderly man hesitated. Truth be told, in his four hundred years, it was his first time witnessing someone forming a Golden Core.

"Recruit?"

Master Sanchuan chuckled bitterly,

"Among the eleven Great Cultivators in the Central Continent, six are Immortal Golden Core, and three are Half-Step Golden Core!"

"And those who form Immortal Golden Cores, unless they met untimely ends or had damaged foundations, smoothly cultivate to at least the Peak of Middle-Stage Nascent Soul, with many becoming Great Cultivators!"

"A Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator is already at the leadership level of the Three Great Influences, the highest realm in the Cultivation Realm, beyond our capability to provoke!"

"Send a letter of goodwill instead!"

"What if such a person wants to seize my Qianying Square, then what?" questioned the youth worriedly.

Master Sanchuan was a bit helpless regarding his young junior’s words,

"Immortal Golden Core, such a prodigy, if he truly wanted our Qianying Square, I’d willingly offer it up!"

"This is an opportunity of a millennium!"

"Just regret that I didn’t make his acquaintance before reaching Core Formation, truly a missed chance!"

Saying this, the middle-aged man grew more regretful.

The youth, puzzled by his words, looked to the elderly man beside him,

seeing this, the elder explained:

"Do you know ’True Monarch Yuanji’?"

"Elder Yuanji is one of only two Great Cultivators from the Loose Cultivators, of course I know!" The youth nodded, he naturally knew of such a renowned figure in the Central Continent Cultivation Realm.

"When ’True Monarch Yuanji’ formed his Core, it was an Immortal Golden Core, and after he formed it, dozens of sects invited him, offering generous terms."

"The Fuxing Sect offered the highest terms, not only providing treatment as an Elder Nascent Soul, but also offering a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, successfully recruiting Elder Yuanji."

"Elder Yuanji then cultivated in the Fuxing Sect, ultimately becoming a Great Cultivator, while the Fuxing Sect thusly rose to become the sixth core member sect of the Righteous Alliance!"

"With such luminaries before, whenever a Golden Core Cultivator forming an Immortal Golden Core appears, all major sects make offers, the terms at least equivalent to those for a True Monarch Nascent Soul!"

"In other words, as long as this fellow chooses to join a sect, he’ll at least receive treatment as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so why would he consider our mere Qianying Square?"

The elderly man was full of emotion, his eyes brimming with envy.

"I see!" The youth slowly nodded, his eyes full of amazement.

...

Meanwhile, the outside world had fallen into frenzy, never imagining that Qianying Square would welcome a future Great Cultivator!

"A grand opportunity, this is definitely a grand opportunity!"

If one could apprentice under this newly ascended True Monarch, wouldn’t one have the chance to become a Great Cultivator’s disciple?

At that time, even upon meeting a Nascent Soul Cultivator, they’d have to be treated with respect!

Thus, many gathered in front of Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion, hoping to be summoned by him.

And representatives from other forces within Qianying Square, such as Caifeng Tower, were frantically gathering information on Zhou Xun, attempting to uncover the background of this future Great Cultivator.

As a result, the middle-aged steward at the city gate and his son, those who had interacted with Zhou Xun the longest, became highly sought after,

including the housing steward, who also received numerous visitors.

This is the effect brought by an Immortal Golden Core Cultivator.

...

At the same time, the news of an Immortal Golden Core emerging from Qianying Square began spreading externally, continually expanding.

Subsequently, heads of various families and forces nearby who received word, hastily traveled to Qianying Square, disregarding the cost, to pay respects to this future True Monarch,

while also spreading the news further afield.

They were acutely aware of what a Loose Cultivator with an Immortal Golden Core signified,

and by quickly reporting this news to a Nascent Soul Sect, they’d gain considerable benefits.

If the sect succeeded in recruiting this person, being the first to report would earn them unimaginable rewards.

Such a beneficial endeavor naturally drew countless people.

Thus, under the astonished gazes of city gate guards, beams of Spirit Light descended from the sky,

and numerous Cultivators arrived from further afar.

Regarding this situation, Zhou Xun didn’t even need to observe to guess, and had long anticipated it.

But since those arriving were minor forces, he managed them without pressure,

which also explained why he chose to form his Core in the Chaotic Domain’s Qianying Square.
