Chapter 329 A laughable conspiracy just as you wished

Thump!

A sound like muffled thunder resounded within Yu Xian’s body.

A flash of golden light tore through the boundless darkness!

The golden core emitted a rolling light within the spiritual platform. Suddenly, it turned as if a heart was beating, and a magnificent aura emanated, sweeping over Yu Xian’s entire body!

The bones and muscles are bathed in golden light, becoming even stronger!

The physical body, already strong and resilient, more than doubled in size!

Yu Xian’s physical body was already very strong, making it difficult to improve.

Otherwise, an ordinary physical body would be transformed into golden skin and jade bones after being bathed in this golden light, with its strength increasing dozens of times, comparable to a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection body cultivator.

Even though it’s only doubled, Yu Xian’s physical body is still much stronger than that of a typical Golden Core cultivator with golden skin and jade bones.

The Golden Elixir has been reborn!

Boundless spiritual energy surged through his body, causing his spirit to soar and his cultivation to skyrocket!

Furthermore, each rotation of the Golden Core is nearly a hundred times the spiritual energy throughput of the Foundation Establishment stage!

A difference of a hundredfold is no exaggeration; it’s like comparing heaven and earth.

The Great Golden Core began to spin continuously, radiating boundless Golden Core power.

After an incense stick had burned, Yu Xian suddenly opened his eyes.

Two beams of golden light shone brightly and slowly disappeared without a trace.

Yu Xian is still Yu Xian.

But the Yu Xian of this moment is very different from the Yu Xian of the past.

At the age of forty-five, Yu Xian achieved the Golden Core cultivation.

So fast, so young, he is a prodigy in the entire Eastern Continent!

“Zheng Huo…”

The Golden Elixir has been formed!

Although it was achieved with the help of a dozen drops of infant blood and is not a perfect golden elixir, such is the way of fate; what is destined will eventually come.

Even without Zheng Huo’s interference, there would surely be other reasons to hinder the process of condensing the elixir.

Yu Xian wouldn’t dwell on these things.

With just a fleeting thought, he quickly suppressed his cultivation level.

With his current Golden Core strength, and his deliberate concealment of his cultivation level, it would be impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to see through him.

It’s unbelievable that someone would be disturbed while in seclusion trying to break through to the Golden Core stage, especially inside this secluded cultivation peak.

Just as he was about to break through to the Golden Core stage, Yu Xian was preoccupied with helping the core condense, leaving him little time to think. He was focused on quickly condensing the core and getting out to save Zheng Huo.

But now that he has successfully condensed the core and is completely awake, his thoughts and spirits have surged, and with everything clear, Yu Xian naturally cannot help but ponder and have doubts!

That shouldn’t be!

First and foremost, what should not be done is Zheng Huo’s Daoist partner. How did she even get through that?

This is the secluded cultivation peak! It’s a vital area of ​​the sect!

It is a place where disturbances are not allowed, and even speaking loudly is not permitted.

Secondly, even if Zheng Huo really encountered danger, Yu Xian believed that if he knew that he was in seclusion trying to break through to the Golden Core stage, he would understand.

Even if there is danger, or even death, he will never disturb or interfere with my breakthrough to the Golden Core stage!

Yu Xian frowned slightly, pondering, and suddenly thought of the young man who had been smiling at him.

The female elder who had reached the Golden Core stage was not here, so he was temporarily in charge.

So only he would deliberately open the formation and let people in to disturb him…

I don’t have any grudges against them, do I?

Of course, whether there’s a grudge or not is a joke; when it comes to interests, how can it be impossible?

While pondering, Yu Xian had already lowered his aura to around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

He deliberately turned pale, as if he were seriously injured, then exhaled, his coldness vanished, replaced by fury. He waved his hand, opened the closed-door stone gate, and strode out, seemingly enraged!

Rumble…

The massive stone gate opened, and Yu Xian stepped out, his face burning with rage!

“Senior Brother Yu!”

As Yu Xian walked out, the previously muffled shouts became completely clear.

A woman rushed over, glanced at Yu Xian, and seeing that he was still only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she quickly lowered her head and cried, “Senior Brother Yu, please go and save Zheng Huo! I beg you!!”

“Who are you?”

Yu Xian’s face was contorted with rage, and he shouted angrily, “How did you get in here! Do you know that because of you, I failed to condense my Golden Core?!”

“I am Zheng Huo’s Daoist partner.”

The woman looked up at Yu Xian, her face covered in tears, seemingly extremely innocent and panicked.

But Yu Xian’s spirit was not the same as before!

Under his watchful gaze, nothing about the woman’s expression could escape his keen eyes!

The woman’s disguise was quite good, but after hearing her say that she had failed to condense the Golden Core, a hint of joy clearly appeared in her eyes. It seemed that interfering with her failure to condense the Golden Core would bring her many benefits…

Just as expected…

Yu Xian’s mind was almost made up.

Either Li Cexuan is causing trouble…

Or… it must be that Nascent Soul Supreme Elder, Cui Sheng, who’s causing trouble!

“I asked you how you got in!?”

Yu Xian roared again, displaying his anger.

“Please forgive me, Yu Shengzi, it was I who let her in.”

Another voice rang out, and the young man descended from the sky, landing in front of Yu Xian. After briefly examining Yu Xian, he bowed and apologized, saying, “This fellow Daoist says he is Zheng Huo’s Daoist partner, and Zheng Huo is your sworn brother, Holy Son Yu. He is currently in distress, and his partner has come to you, Holy Son Yu, for help. The matter is urgent, and after much deliberation, I have decided to let her in and inform Senior Brother Yu of this matter. Otherwise, if my delay prevents you, Holy Son Yu, from saving him in time, and Zheng Huo dies tragically, wouldn’t I have committed a grave mistake?”

Yu Xian squinted at him, and after a moment said slowly, “Then you are being kind.”

The young man stood up, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Yu Xian’s words, and looked at Yu Xian with a smile, saying, “Holy Son Yu, you don’t need to be so polite, it was just a small favor.”

Yu Xian’s expression was cold. She stopped looking at him and turned to the woman, saying, “Where is Zheng Huo? How is he? Take me there quickly.”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyes lit up with even greater joy. Clearly, she would benefit from disrupting Yu Xian’s failed attempt to condense his core, but if she could bring Yu Xian out, the benefits would be even greater!

She quickly said, “Zheng Huo is in a life-or-death situation right now, Senior Brother, please come with me!”

After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked away.

Yu Xian let out a breath and followed.

The young man watched the two leave and chuckled, “Don’t blame me. Two top-grade spirit stones, and besides, you won’t survive anyway. What’s wrong with holding a grudge against me?”

The woman, with Yu Xian by her side, quickly left the Haotian Sect and headed east.

Yu Xian’s expression gradually calmed down. He followed behind her for most of the day, then suddenly said, “Why don’t you go and ask Zheng Huo’s master for help? Li Cexuan, who is in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, should be able to rescue Zheng Huo more easily than I can.”

“Ah? Ah, yes, yes, it’s because I couldn’t find the Grand Elder of the Martial Arts Hall that I rushed to find you, Senior Brother Yu.”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s voice immediately became flustered. She quickly explained and then hurriedly said, “Let’s hurry! Zheng Huo is in imminent danger!”

“Okay, then hurry up.”

Yu Xian calmly watched the woman’s retreating figure, his eyes flashing.

It must be Li Cexuan.

He knew he needed to condense the Golden Elixir, and understood that this was his only chance.

Otherwise, once he successfully condenses his core, he will be able to easily attack and defend, and he will be in a completely passive position!

In just twenty years, he watched as he grew from a mere ant in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to someone who could stand on equal footing with him!

His own talent frightened and terrified him!

And now, he has succeeded.

But it didn’t work.

He successfully prevented himself from achieving a perfect golden elixir, and almost failed due to the disruption!

However, since he possessed infant blood, he forcibly broke through it after consuming it and reassembled his golden core! He is now at the early stage of the golden core!

So he failed; he couldn’t have imagined it!

Upon hearing Yu Xian’s words, the woman immediately used her late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation to escape into the air. She was somewhat panicked and needed to get Yu Xian there as soon as possible.

After traveling for another day and a half, the woman suddenly raised her hand and pointed, saying, “We’ve arrived, Senior Brother Yu, we’ve arrived!”

Ahead lies a lake, surrounded by small hills.

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly on the lake, giving it a misty appearance. A strong yang energy was constantly emanating from it, a power that Yu Xian had not been able to sense before.

But now he can clearly sense that it is the power of the Golden Core, which surpasses the Foundation Establishment stage!

Are you sure this is the place?

Yu Xian strode over, stood beside the woman, looked at the lake, and said calmly, “I’ll ask you one more time, are you sure?”

“I……”

The woman looked at Yu Xian in front of her and felt that he had suddenly become incredibly tall and majestic. Where was the injured look he had after failing to condense his core in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment? It was terrifying!

She became increasingly flustered and opened her mouth to beg for mercy and tell the truth.

But the next moment, she remembered someone’s words!

Illusion… Illusion…

Although Yu Xian is very strong, he is worlds apart from that elder!

Therefore, the woman quickly steadied herself and nodded, saying, “This is it! Zheng Huo is inside the secret realm! He has gone mad from absorbing the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds. Please go in and save him!”

“Although you are guilty, you were coerced and instructed by others, so you could have been punished lightly. But I gave you a chance, and you still insisted on your decision.”

Yu Xian turned to look at the woman and said calmly, “Then this is your own fault.”

The woman was suddenly startled and immediately opened her mouth to ask for help, but a burst of energy shot out and pierced through her brow in an instant.

The woman, whose name Yu Xian hadn’t even asked, suddenly dimmed in her eyes, her gaze filled with terror, and fell backward to the ground.

The moment the woman died, the lake surface suddenly began to shake!

Yu Xian’s gaze turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand and waved it!

Six beams of light swept across the area, covering several miles and completely encircling the lake.

Then six beams of light shot into the sky, transforming into a massive array. Within the array, nothing could escape!

“Li Cexuan, Zheng Huo was tricked by the secret realm you created last time. He came to me with the intention of helping me, but I didn’t come out, which disappointed you. This time you really have no choice but to use Zheng Huo’s life to lure me out.”

Yu Xian stood inside the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array, looking at the lake below, and said calmly, “Then as you wish, I’m here.”
