Chapter 267: Breaking through to Gold Core!
[Binding successful! Your good brother Ji Changming is online. Currently bindable objects (20/1000).]
[Binding successful! Your good sister Ji Yufeng is online. Currently bindable objects (21/1000).]
[Binding successful! Your good brother Wu Kai is online. Currently bindable objects (22/1000).]
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Liu Zimo was in a great mood.
It must be said that although today's experience was full of danger and twists and turns, the harvest was quite good.
First, he bound the chief disciple of the Qingyun Main Peak's true transmission.
Now he has bound an inner sect elder and two inner sect disciples with equally good talent.
Ji Changming and Ji Yufeng, it's obvious that they are relatives, and both of them have better talent than Wu Kai.
As for Wu Kai, his face was swollen, and the palm print on his cheek was clearly visible.
Obviously, this was the work of Tang Ziyao.
"Disciple Liu Zimo of the Menial Hall, I greet Elder Ji, and greet the two senior brothers and senior sisters!"
Approaching, Liu Zimo respectfully bowed, behaving no differently from a normal menial disciple.
Feeling the gaze of Wu Kai directed at him, filled with endless anger and killing intent, Liu Zimo remained calm and ignored it.
He had the Book Pavilion's golden token bestowed upon him, not to mention Wu Kai, even Ji Changming and Tang Ziyao, the master of the main peak, would not dare to easily make a move against him.
This point had already been verified by the three sudden spiritual consciousnesses that had just withdrawn from him.
At least within the Qingyun Immortal Sect, there were few who could afford to offend a Nascent Soul expert like the Book Pavilion's guardian.
"You are Liu Zimo?"
Ji Changming lowered his head and glanced at Liu Zimo, saying in a low voice,
"Do you know why I summoned you here today?"
Liu Zimo pretended to be frightened and bowed his head, saying, "Disciple does not know, please enlighten me, Elder!"
"You don't know?!"
"You damn well know what's going on here, stop pretending to be clueless!"
Liu Zimo's innocent and confused appearance completely infuriated Wu Kai, who was already trying his best to suppress his anger.
Unable to hold back any longer, Wu Kai stood up and pointed at Liu Zimo's nose, angrily questioning,
"You tell me, around noon today, what did you say to Tang Ziyao in the Book Pavilion?!"
"If it weren't for you spouting nonsense in front of Tang Ziyao, would she deliberately target me and slap me three times?!"
To be so angry and still able to restrain himself from attacking?
Liu Zimo muttered to himself, becoming more and more certain of the deterrent effect of the Book Pavilion's golden token around his waist.
Faced with Wu Kai's furious questioning, Liu Zimo seemed to be frightened and couldn't help but take two steps back, trembling as he said,
"I don't know what this senior brother is talking about, I don't quite understand!"
"Also, have we met before? I don't remember ever meeting senior brother, let alone saying anything derogatory..."
"I'm just a menial disciple who has just started for less than a month, I don't understand many rules. If I have done something wrong and offended senior brother, I ask for senior brother's forgiveness!"
Liu Zimo, with his neck shrunk, kept bowing and apologizing, portraying a weak and helpless little servant.
Wu Kai, seeing this, felt even more angry.
You don't even know me, yet you dare to slander me. You're simply asking for death!
"Wu Kai, step back!"
Ji Changming spoke softly, ordering Wu Kai, whose emotions were starting to get out of control, to step back.
"Master, please forgive me. Your disciple has acted out of line!"
Wu Kai took a deep breath, glared fiercely at Liu Zimo, and then retreated back behind Ji Changming, standing beside Ji Yufeng, who had been silent all along.
"Liu Zimo!"
Ji Changming's gaze shifted to Liu Zimo as he spoke in a calm voice.
"I don't care if you're truly confused or pretending to understand. Just be careful with your words, as they can bring trouble upon yourself!"
"Don't forget, you are a servant disciple of the Cui Zhu Peak. The one who brought you in is the personal disciple of the Cui Zhu Peak's peak master. Don't engage in deceitful acts!"
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Zimo to defend himself, Ji Changming waved his sleeve and directly expelled Liu Zimo from Autumn Maple Residence.
"Master, are you just letting that bastard servant go?"
Seeing Ji Changming give Liu Zimo a casual warning and let him go, Wu Kai couldn't accept it for a moment.
Even if they couldn't openly kill or punish him, there were still plenty of ways to secretly deal with him, right?
"What else?"
Ji Changming glanced displeasingly at Wu Kai.
"Do you want me to personally take action and use some despicable means to deal with a useless servant?"
Wu Kai quickly lowered his head and bowed, "Disciple wouldn't dare!"
"Alright, go rest for now!"
Ji Changming waved his hand at him and said in a calm voice,
"If you don't want to die, stay obediently in Autumn Maple Residence during this time. Don't go looking for trouble with that servant disciple. Otherwise, if it falls into Tang Ziyuan's hands, I can't guarantee your safety!"
Wu Kai trembled and said, "Disciple will follow Master's teachings. Disciple takes his leave!"
After a moment, when Wu Kai left the hall, Ji Changming picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, sighing deeply.
"This Wu Kai is truly foolish! He actually wanted to directly kill that servant disciple on the spot. He's just asking for death!"
"He doesn't even think about it. If that Liu Zimo could really kill, would I have gone through the trouble of inviting him to Autumn Maple Residence?"
Ji Yufeng didn't say anything, but instead picked up the teapot on the table and refilled Ji Changming's empty teacup.
Extending her hands, she handed the new tea to Ji Changming and spoke softly,
"Dad, there's no need to be so angry. Senior Brother Wu also suffered quite a humiliation during the day, and he was just momentarily angry."
"Besides, he didn't actually do anything in the end. There's no need for you to be so upset! It's not worth damaging the relationship between master and disciple over a useless servant."
Ji Changming took the teacup, placed it back on the table, and shook his head.
"It's not just him who suffered humiliation during the day, is it?"
"Although it was Wu Kai who got slapped, he is my disciple, Ji Changming. He was publicly slapped three times in Autumn Maple Residence. How can I, as his master, save face?"
"That Tang Ziyun is becoming more and more outrageous, not putting us elders from the peripheral peaks in his eyes!"
Smack!
Ji Changming slapped the table, causing the teapot and teacups on the table to jump three times, spilling a lot of tea.
Thinking of the scene when Tang Ziyun forcefully entered Autumn Maple Residence during the day, Ji Changming's face also turned gloomy.
He didn't expect Tang Ziyun's strength to be strong enough to compete with him.
Even more unexpectedly, Tang Ziyun dared to slap Wu Kai three times in front of him, not giving Ji Changming any face!
At that time, if it weren't for the peak master and several other true transmission elders appearing to stop him, Ji Changming would have directly activated the Gold Core killing formation in Autumn Maple Residence and completely suppressed Tang Ziyun!
"She is the chief disciple of the main peak, and the only genius in Qingyun Immortal Sect to successfully break through to the Gold Core stage before the age of one hundred in a thousand years."
Ji Yufeng whispered, "Although I don't want to admit it, she does have the qualifications and strength to be arrogant in the sect. The Sect Master of Qingyun and the other direct transmission elders value her highly!"
Ji Changming frowned and said discontentedly, "Although that's true, she is only a true disciple after all. Doesn't she understand respect for the elderly and care for the young?"
After saying this, Ji Changming himself felt a bit ridiculous.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that he was really confused, even saying such childish words as respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
This is the cultivation world that believes in the strong. In the face of absolute strength, identity and status are worthless!
If you want to win the respect and trust of others, you must first demonstrate corresponding strength!
"Alright, go and take care of your senior brother, so that he doesn't do anything foolish and secretly cause trouble for that disciple!"
Ji Changming waved his hand at Ji Yufeng, dismissing her.
As for himself, he turned and went to the secret room, taking out a pill from the storage magic treasure that emitted a strong aura of bloodthirst.
"In the immortal world, the strong are respected. Without enough strength, even your own disciples will look down on you!"
"Now that even a small true disciple dares to ride on my neck and defecate and urinate, if I don't make a breakthrough, how can I stand on Cui Zhu Peak in the future?"
"I have been collecting this Bloodthirsty Breaking Realm Pill for thirty years, but I have been hesitant to try swallowing and refining it!"
"But now, I have no choice but to give it a try!"
After muttering to himself for a moment, Ji Changming's gaze gradually became firm. He exerted a little force with his right hand, peeling off the wax cloth wrapped around the pill.
Boom!
Endless bloodthirsty aura instantly filled the entire secret room. Without hesitation, Ji Changming directly swallowed the Bloodthirsty Breaking Realm Pill into his abdomen.
Then, he calmed his mind, sat cross-legged, released all his spiritual consciousness and immortal cultivation, and absorbed and refined the massive bloodthirsty spiritual power emitted by the pill with all his might!
At the same time, Liu Zimo, who had just returned to the menial hall after coming down from the mountain, also heard the corresponding notification from his special ability:
"Your good brother Ji Changming has refined a 'Bloodthirsty Breaking Realm Pill', stabilizing his divine soul and soaring his origin!"
"Triggered the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the spiritual consciousness cultivation increase, spiritual consciousness +100, divine soul origin +100, sea of consciousness space +1000."
"Your good brother Ji Changming had a fortuitous encounter, his cultivation soared, and his immortal cultivation breakthrough to the sixth stage of the Gold Core realm!"
"Triggered the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the immortal cultivation increase, immortal cultivation +100, spiritual consciousness +50, divine soul origin +100, sea of consciousness space +1000."
Wow!
Ji Changming actually broke through!
Liu Zimo sensed the sudden surge of immortal cultivation and spiritual consciousness in his body, feeling extremely delighted.
I didn't expect that not only Tang Ziyang was stimulated and directly broke through to the third realm of Gold Core.
Even Ji Changming, the elder of the inner sect, chose to break through his cultivation by swallowing a spirit pill due to face-saving issues!
Speaking of which, before both of them broke through their realms, Tang Ziyang, with her second realm of Gold Core cultivation, was able to slap Ji Changming, the elder of the fifth realm of Gold Core, in the face in front of him.
This is enough to show how amazing Tang Ziyang's talent in battle is!
Now, both of them have advanced one level on the same day. I wonder who will come out on top when they meet again?
However, this is not important to Liu Zimo. He hopes that the two of them will compete and continuously break through, one after another.
In that case, he can also benefit from it and improve his own cultivation strength.
"Huh? It seems like... I also broke through!"
After absorbing and refining all the cultivation power that suddenly emerged in his body, Liu Zimo was surprised to find that he had already formed his Gold Core!
Without any bottleneck, he naturally broke through and formed his core. It was a smooth process!
This is definitely something that Liu Zimo did not expect.
Before, he had read many books about cultivation realms in the library, so he had some understanding of the Gold Core realm.
For most cultivators, the Gold Core realm is definitely the most difficult barrier to break through.
Many people spend their entire lives stuck at the peak of Core Formation without being able to break through.
Even many outstanding disciples would need several years or even more than a decade to comprehend and polish their way to breaking through to Gold Core.
For someone like Liu Zimo, who almost had no bottlenecks, it was as easy as drinking a glass of water to advance to the Gold Core realm. It seemed that there had never been such a case before.
At least, among the books Liu Zimo had read, there was no relevant record.
In the Qingyun Immortal Sect, as far as Liu Zimo knew, the fastest recorded breakthrough from Core Formation to Gold Core seemed to be five years.
And the record holder was Tang Ziyang, the chief disciple of the Qingyun Main Peak, whom he had just met today.
"Tsk tsk, if the time it took me to break through to Gold Core spreads, it will definitely shock the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect, and even the entire Transcendent realm!"
Liu Zimo said proudly to himself.
But he was just imagining it in his mind.
He was well aware that the reason he was able to break through to the Gold Core realm so quickly was not because of his own extraordinary talent, but because of the assistance of his "Stealing Heaven" ability.
Otherwise, as a mortal with ordinary bones and even spiritual roots that couldn't even reach a single level, let alone breaking through to Gold Core, he wouldn't even be able to touch the threshold of cultivation.
"Wait!"
"This might be a good opportunity for me!"
Liu Zimo suddenly had a thought and couldn't help but look up at the inner area of the halfway up the mountain.
"Ji Changming has just broken through to the sixth realm of Gold Core. He must be in seclusion now, stabilizing his cultivation and not paying attention to anything else."
"At this moment, Autumn Maple Residence must have the most relaxed defense! If I quietly sneak into Autumn Maple Residence at this time and take the opportunity to deal with Wu Kai, wouldn't that be great?"
