A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 333 - 320: Golden Core Phenomenon, Mountain Range Phantom

Chapter 333: Chapter 320: Golden Core Phenomenon, Mountain Range Phantom

After the spiritual mechanism of a breakthrough appeared in his heart, Qi Ping’s realm was already stirring restlessly.

So, Qi Ping did not delay and immediately set off for the breakthrough location.

However, this time the location of Qi Ping’s breakthrough was not in the Qingtian Realm.

The Supreme Elder of the Cyan Origin Sect, Ling Qianjue, felt exceedingly terrifying to Qi Ping, being a Tier Four Array Master, the first Nascent Soul in the Qingtian Realm, the longest-living old monster... etc. Each was potentially deadly, and none were what Qi Ping desired to face.

Having met Ling Qianjue, Qi Ping also gained more reverence for the terrifying aspects of cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Qi Ping gradually realized that as his strength increased and he slew many Golden Core cultivators, he slowly lost respect for other cultivators. Fortunately, Ling Qianjue’s appearance pulled back Qi Ping’s reverence for other cultivators of the Immortal Dao.

"Avoid unnecessary conflicts; only by living well and cultivating properly is there hope."

Thus, after thorough investigation, Qi Ping chose a borderland called the Barbaric Realm. Before heading to the Barbaric Land, he proactively left his clone in the Cyan Origin Sect to attract the attention of Ling Qianjue and Lin Wuji.

The Barbaric Realm is a place where large-scale earth veins and spirit veins have been entirely excavated. Here, even Tier Two spirit veins are rare, let alone Tier Three.

Due to this, the overall cultivation of the cultivators in the Barbaric Realm is extremely low. It’s said that even Golden Cores are seldom seen. Because of the absence of high-level sects, the immortal cultivation civilization here is extremely backward. Additionally, the lack of a leading force results in constant fighting.

This situation leads to a birth rate of cultivators in the Barbaric Realm far outstripping their death and departure rate.

Under such conditions, the Barbaric Realm is gradually decaying. Even the Immortal Alliance is unwilling to establish itself here. With insufficient population, suitable sacrifices for blood rituals are exceedingly scarce. Only a few forces have been developed here, harvesting sacrifices periodically...

...

For the journey to the Barbaric Realm, Qi Ping chose to let the Stone Spirit take him, the Earth Vein Ant, and the little Immortal Tiger through the underground paths, thereby avoiding many unnecessary dangers.

The Stone Spirit, due to devouring numerous Tier Three weapons and ore veins, had advanced to the late Tier Three stage. It was estimated that it wouldn’t take long to reach Tier Three perfection. It was the fastest-progressing among all of Qi Ping’s animal companions, showcasing the advantage of being an innately extraordinary creature.

At this realm, the Stone Spirit’s speed in traveling underground was incredibly fast.

Yet even with such rapid progress, it still took Qi Ping over two months to reach the Barbaric Realm detailed in the records.

Fortuitously, during the underground journey, due to Qi Ping’s Power of Destiny and the little Immortal Tiger’s Power of Fortune, they encountered many opportunities. These encounters were worth quite a number of spirit stones, which was a valuable gain for the currently impoverished Qi Ping.

After reaching the Barbaric Realm, Qi Ping did not rush to break through. Instead, he spent nearly two weeks probing to confirm safety. Once the little Immortal Tiger calculated no apparent dangers, Qi Ping finalized the breakthrough location here.

Having witnessed the state of the Barbaric Realm, Qi Ping’s resolve to preserve the Qingtian Realm was further strengthened.

According to Qi Ping’s understanding during this time, this place was originally known as the Bichuan Realm.

Long ago, this was a region with countless spirit veins and ancient woods, even boasting a spirit river renowned throughout this Immortal Cultivation Realm. At that time, the Bichuan Realm was unparalleled in power.

But now, even Tier Two spirit veins have nearly vanished, the immortal cultivation civilization is extremely backward and feeble, and it is largely stigmatized as the Barbaric Realm.

"What a pity for such a good place. Is this what it looks like after the decline of heaven and earth?"

Having seen the state of the Barbaric Realm, Qi Ping couldn’t help but sigh.

With the weakening of heaven and earth, the Power of Heaven and Earth that can be harnessed is extremely limited!

The effect of Druid abilities is significantly reduced!

The power wielded by Druid abilities is greatly diminished!

The rules of heaven and earth are weakened, to the extent that even stronger arrays cannot be laid down!

...

Overall, this place can only be described with four words:

Truly miserable beyond bearing!

"If one were to cultivate in such a place, one could forget about achieving any significant accomplishments in a lifetime!"

"The only consolation is that the rules of heaven and earth are still relatively intact; otherwise, even breaking through wouldn’t have been possible here..."

Qi Ping truly could not imagine, if the Qingtian Realm weakened to this extent, he might indeed have to relocate elsewhere.

In fact, during the previous mass plundering of sacrifices by the Immortal Alliance, if Qi Ping hadn’t stopped it, the Qingtian Realm’s heaven and earth would have weakened by at least 10%.

Additionally, the reason the Qingtian Realm has not continued to weaken is significantly due to Qi Ping cultivating numerous rare Tier Three spirit woods and some powerful animal companions!

These spirit beasts and spirit woods grow and strengthen within the Qingtian Realm, bringing considerable benefits to heaven and earth itself, thereby preventing the Qingtian Realm from continuous weakening, and even showing hints of strengthening!

The continued enhancement of the Heaven and Earth’s Favor on Qi Ping is, apart from Qi Ping’s divine actions and removal of maladies, partly because he constantly nurtures powerful spirit woods and spirit beasts. For such a Druid, the heavenly dao rules can perceive this and, after receiving benefits, consistently consume part of them to enhance Qi Ping’s talent and destiny, resulting in a mutually beneficial process.

"Moreover, not only has the Power of Heaven and Earth been significantly reduced, but some effects of my Home Realm talent have also vanished, and these only activate in the Qingtian Realm..."

Arriving at this place, Qi Ping’s entire strength had fallen by quite a bit.

"But no matter what, without the presence of a formidable enemy, this is still a decent place for a breakthrough!"

Right now, a stable environment for a breakthrough is more important than anything else.

...

After selecting a barren mountain as the place for the breakthrough, Qi Ping released the Netherworld Bee Swarm, the Celestial Brilliance Bee Swarm, Yaya, the Earth Vein Ant, the Little Stone Spirit, and the Little Immortal Tiger.

Even though there are no formidable enemies here, necessary caution is essential. Only by sealing off the area so tightly that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator could be killed, can Qi Ping feel at ease to break through. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Finally, he asked the Little Immortal Tiger to perform another calculation, and the result was "Great Fortune".

Only then did Qi Ping truly feel at ease.

"Finally about to break through to the Golden Core Stage!"

Once the Golden Core Stage is attained, not only will Qi Ping’s strength soar dramatically, his lifespan will even extend to over a thousand years!

A millennium lifespan can already be called a minor longevity, which is such a cause for joy for Qi Ping, who single-mindedly pursues eternal life!

Longevity!

"If I can successfully breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage today, I will be one step closer to the road of Immortal Dao and eternal life!"

"I just don’t know what kind of Golden Core Phenomenon I will condense today?"

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, every being experiences a special phenomenon at the moment of successfully condensing the Golden Core. The stronger and more potential-laden the Golden Core, the mightier the phenomenon.

For example, many ordinary Golden Core Cultivators produce phenomena that are the simplest spiritual power halos, which are the most ordinary and weakest phenomena.

Other powerful phenomena include the Sword Qi River, Myriad Demons’ Reverence, and the Descent of Immortal Spirit, all are top-tier formidable phenomena in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, which only cultivators with superior foundations, Dao Hearts, and Law Comprehension can possibly condense.

Although the Little Stone Spirit’s Myriad Weapons Phenomenon and Yaya’s Golden Crow Phenomenon aren’t as exaggerated, they are certainly not lacking and have already surpassed many peers of equal talent, providing further potential advancement.

That’s why those Golden Core Cultivators became so frenzied upon witnessing Yaya’s Golden Crow Phenomenon.

However, although a cultivator’s Golden Core Phenomenon indicates their strength and potential, it doesn’t mean it is eternal and irreparable; it can be gradually perfected and strengthened in the future, though it’s more difficult.

"The Golden Core Phenomenon is the complete fusion of factors like one’s Immortal Dao Foundation, physical body, Dao Heart, and Law Comprehension....."

"On the Immortal Dao Foundation, I created a Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture based on the Yin Yang Dao Scripture, honing the foundation to an unparalleled level with precious Yin Yang resources..."

"In terms of the physical body, I created a Yin Yang Five Elements Body to refine and temper every inch of my body, and enhanced it using valuable Yin Yang resources, making it even stronger than body cultivators of the same level!"

"On the Dao Heart, I comprehended the Second Realm of Home Realm, which allows augmentation, shelter, and slaughter..."

"In Law Comprehension, with Extraordinary Comprehension and the Plant Monarch’s talent for refining the Plant Law, I comprehended the True Meaning of Yin Yang and Five Elements Law to the Second Realm..."

As Qi Ping operated the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture, while recalling his cultivation foundation, insights about cultivation continuously emerged in his mind...

In this contemplation, Qi Ping gradually entered a very special state, with spiritual power unusually active, and the power of law trembling all around him!

Anyone who has ever broken through the Golden Core Realm knows that this is exactly the state just before breaking through to the Golden Core!

As Qi Ping’s speed of operating the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture increased, at a certain moment, an aura belonging to the Golden Core emanated from his body!

This moment seemed to trigger something, as Qi Ping’s aura started to rise continuously, and the aura belonging to the Golden Core became more intense!

A huge amount of Qi of Yin Yang and Five Elements began to gather around Qi Ping, enveloping him securely in the center.

Beside him, Yaya and the Little Stone Spirit were shocked upon sensing Qi Ping’s aura!

Because the Golden Core pressure and aura produced by Qi Ping were stronger than when they broke through!

Not only a little stronger, but a lot stronger!

At this moment, the terrifying foundation Qi Ping had built with countless resources and a century of tempering displayed incredibly powerful strength.

A century of tempering, finally bearing fruit!

As time passed, as the Dao Fruit Golden Core gradually took shape, an astonishing event occurred, a huge mountain range phantom appeared around Qi Ping...

Even more astonishing, this giant mountain range phantom seemed to be just the beginning...
