Chapter 108: Foundation Establishment Complete, Golden Core Fourth Grade
“Master Uncle, I’m fine too!”
Zhou Chen replied to Qing Yu Yao outside.
“You little rascal, stop messing around, come out quickly, what would Master Senior Sister think if she saw this?”
Cheng Su Su glared fiercely at the mischievous Zhou Chen and pleaded in a low voice.
“Yes, Master Uncle.”
Zhou Chen stopped teasing her, smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed Cheng Su Su’s soft lips heavily before pulling away.
He was really reluctant, but he would have to wait for next time!
“Whew!”
Cheng Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, her ample bosom trembling slightly.
She quickly tidied herself up, but felt an empty feeling in her heart.
“It’s good that you’re both alright, where’s Li Shen Tong?”
Seeing Zhou Chen and Cheng Su Su come out, Qing Yu Yao finally felt relieved. The outcome was much better than she had imagined.
Zhou Chen and Cheng Su Su were both safe and sound.
As for Li Shen Tong, it didn’t matter even if he had escaped.
There would always be opportunities to deal with him in the future.
After coming out of the small boat, Zhou Chen waved his hand at it, and the boat shrunk to the size of a palm, which he then stored in his storage ring.
This small boat belonged to Li Shen Tong, and now it had become Zhou Chen’s spoils of war.
Zhou Chen remembered how envious he was when he first saw Li Chang Feng’s flying boat, thinking that he would also get one in the future.
It was like seeing someone else’s private jet.
Now he had finally achieved it!
“Junior Sister Cheng, are you alright?”
Seeing that Cheng Su Su’s legs were a little wobbly, her cheeks flushed red as blood, and there seemed to be tear stains at the corners of her eyes, Qing Yu Yao quickly asked with concern.
It seemed that Cheng Su Su had suffered a lot and was feeling aggrieved.
“Master Senior Sister, I’m fine.”
Cheng Su Su’s heart skipped a beat, afraid that Qing Yu Yao would see through her, and quickly explained:
“I just suffered a minor injury, Zhou Chen has already healed it for me.”
“Master Uncle, don’t worry, I’m very good at healing injuries, I guarantee they’ll be gone in no time!”
Zhou Chen raised his hand and said with a smile.
Seeing Zhou Chen’s hand, Cheng Su Su’s legs tightened, feeling as if something was surging within her.
“This rascal…”
“That’s good!”
Qing Yu Yao didn’t think much of it. Although Zhou Chen was lecherous, there was a significant gap between him and Cheng Su Su. Moreover, they had just escaped death, how could they have time for anything else?
In fact, Qing Yu Yao didn’t understand that precisely because they had escaped death, after a life-and-death battle, both men and women needed to release all the pent-up anger and pressure in their hearts.
Otherwise, it would easily lead to problems.
“Master Uncle, Li Shen Tong colluded with the two elders of the Blazing Dragon Valley, Lie Yan and Lie Shan, to ambush us. However, all three of them have been killed. This is all thanks to the sword talisman you gave me, which allowed me to severely injure them and turn the tables!”
Zhou Chen briefly explained.
Cheng Su Su was now one with Zhou Chen, so naturally, whatever Zhou Chen said was what it was.
“The Blazing Dragon Valley is truly audacious! They didn’t give up after their defeat at the Cloudbreak Mountain Range and even colluded with Li Shen Tong to plot against Junior Sister Cheng and Zhou Chen. We must settle this score with them!”
Qing Yu Yao’s pretty face was filled with anger, her killing intent soaring, fully displaying the majesty and imposing manner of a sect leader.
Zhou Chen also harbored killing intent towards the Blazing Dragon Valley in his heart.
He was not a good person who would turn the other cheek.
If they dared to try to kill him, they would have to pay the price.
It just so happened that he had finished practicing all the martial arts he had collected. Originally, Zhou Chen was still wondering where to get more martial arts, but now it was perfect. The Blazing Dragon Valley was a huge treasure trove.
The Blazing Dragon Valley was also a sect with a thousand years of heritage, its foundation no less than that of the Azure Cloud Sect, so it must have many martial arts techniques.
“You’ve worked hard this time, let’s go back and talk about it!”
Qing Yu Yao took Zhou Chen and Cheng Su Su back to the Azure Cloud Sect.
After returning to Azure Cloud, Zhou Chen briefly explained what had happened and then returned to Divine Arrow Peak.
Although Qing Yu Yao knew that Zhou Chen was hiding a lot, she couldn’t press him too hard.
For example, who left the sword energy on the battlefield besides her sword talisman?
Why were all the bodies of Li Shen Tong and the others burned?
This was clearly an attempt to destroy the evidence.
However, everyone had their secrets. Qing Yu Yao guessed that it was either related to Cheng Su Su or Zhou Chen.
As long as they were both fine, it was fine.
There was no need to delve into other matters.
…
Red Dust Residence.
“Brother Chen, it’s so good that you’re alright, sob…”
Qin Hong Yu threw herself into Zhou Chen’s arms. When she heard that Li Shen Tong had betrayed Azure Cloud and lured Zhou Chen out, her heart had been in her throat.
“Alright, alright, I’m fine, Li Shen Tong can’t kill me…”
Gently patting Qin Hong Yu’s back, he looked at Heavenly Fragrance Fairy, Zhao Shi Rong, Yu You Wei, Li Qing Xia, and Gu Qiu Shui, who were all filled with worry.
Zhou Chen picked up Qin Hong Yu and said with a smile: “To celebrate my safe return, let’s have a party today!”
Qin Hong Yu, Heavenly Fragrance Fairy, and the other six women blushed. They were no strangers to Zhou Chen’s words.
They didn’t understand at first.
But after experiencing it, they understood the meaning of Zhou Chen’s party.
It was an uncensored party.
However, they didn’t refuse Zhou Chen.
A lively and fragrant revelry began.
Three days later.
After comforting the women and sorting through the collections of Li Shen Tong, Lie Yan, and Lie Shan, the three Divine Sea peak experts, Zhou Chen took stock of his gains.
In this world of extraordinary powers, with storage pouches and storage rings, cultivators carried their wealth with them because it was the safest way and it was convenient for them to flee at any time.
As for saying that it would benefit others after being killed, wasn’t that a joke?
If you were dead, would you still care about other things?
Therefore.
Zhou Chen found fifty-six high-level martial arts manuals.
These were all their personal collections, which might have been obtained from secret realms, from killing people, from purchases, or from gifts from others…
In any case, they didn’t belong to the sect.
The sect’s martial arts manuals were generally not allowed to be taken out by individuals.
“Fifty-six manuals, including nine light body skills. After I master them, my speed will definitely reach a new level…”
Zhou Chen planned to lie low for a while, digest these martial arts, improve his strength, and then take revenge on the Blazing Dragon Valley and obtain their martial arts!
Putting away the manuals and looking at the women who were exhausted after three days of madness, Zhou Chen quietly left Divine Arrow Peak and went to Spirit Medicine Peak.
“Master Uncle, open the door, it’s Zhou Chen!”
“What are you doing here?”
Cheng Su Su opened the door, but didn’t let Zhou Chen in: “Just treat what happened before as a dream. Now that we’re back and the dream is over, let’s go back to how we were before…”
After calming down, especially after seeing Mu Ling Er, Cheng Su Su retreated again.
“We can’t go back!”
Zhou Chen raised his head and sighed faintly.
Cheng Su Su was stunned, infected by Zhou Chen’s expression, feeling guilty.
“Ah!”
While she was in a daze, Cheng Su Su felt her body lighten as Zhou Chen picked her up.
Without saying a word, Zhou Chen barged into her room.
“You rascal… Mm!”
“Master Uncle, I miss you so much…”
…
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year had passed.
It was time for the annual True Inheritance Challenge.
With just a few moves, Zhou Chen had already ranked third among the True Inheritance Disciples, second only to his two Senior Sisters, Shi Qing Xuan and Li Chang Hen.
Zhou Chen wasn’t interested in the title of number one. To him, the empty name of number one was worthless.
He preferred to defeat them in bed!
But even so.
Zhou Chen had become the idol of countless inner and outer sect disciples. It was truly amazing and inspiring that he had ranked third among the True Inheritance Disciples in just two years after joining the sect.
Over the past six months, Zhou Chen had gone to Spirit Medicine Peak almost every other day to bully his beautiful and gentle Master Uncle Su Su.
Master Uncle was truly captivating. Every time Zhou Chen entered Master Uncle’s room, he didn’t want to leave, he really wanted to stay there forever.
The charm of a mature beauty was evident!
And with Master Uncle, a Divine Sea peak expert with a White Tiger divine beast, Zhou Chen’s Romance Points had skyrocketed.
Increasing day by day!!
An average of 150,000 Romance Points per day.
In five months, Zhou Chen had accumulated a total of 22.5 million Romance Points.
The fifty-six martial arts techniques only consumed a fraction of it.
Only 500,000 were consumed.
Zhou Chen had reached a terrifying 183 Transformations.
And according to the information Zhou Chen had gathered and his research on himself.
He should only need to cultivate 366 martial arts techniques to reach his limit, unable to improve any further, reaching a peak in the Body Refinement Realm, a complete cycle of the Heavenly Cycle.
366 martial arts techniques, that is, 365 Transformations, corresponding to the number of the Heavenly Cycle.
Now he was only 182 martial arts techniques away.
Zhou Chen had enough Romance Points, he just needed to collect martial arts techniques.
Of the remaining 22 million Romance Points, Zhou Chen planned to keep 2 million in reserve and for improving martial arts, and the remaining 20 million could be used to improve his Immortal Path cultivation.
【Red Emperor Fire God Art: Tenth Level (1560/1000000)】
“Add points!”
Zhou Chen consumed 1 million Romance Points, and his magical power, which had been cultivating at a snail’s pace, surged rapidly, breaking through the thin membrane like a virgin in an instant, advancing to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
【Red Emperor Fire God Art: Eleventh Level (81560/2000000)】”Continue!”
Zhou Chen continued to add points.
The magical power in his dantian increased wildly, and Zhou Chen’s physical body also strengthened considerably under the washing of magical power. His cultivation broke through once again.
Late stage of Foundation Establishment!
【Red Emperor Fire God Art: Twelfth Level (81560/4000000)】
“Continue!”
With the consumption of 4 million Romance Points, Zhou Chen broke through once again, his cultivation leaping to the peak of Foundation Establishment. A feeling of perfection and contentment surged in his heart.
The magical power in his dantian was like a vast and boundless sea. Zhou Chen felt as if he could shatter the heavens and earth, dry up the seas and split the rocks with a wave of his hand.
“Too strong!”
“Invincible!”
Clenching his fists, Zhou Chen’s confidence swelled, feeling as if he could annihilate the Blazing Dragon Valley with a flip of his hand.
However, he knew that this was just an illusion brought about by the sudden surge in strength.
The Blazing Dragon Valley had been passed down for a thousand years, and there must be many old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm.
With his current strength, he might be able to withstand one, but it was impossible to withstand an entire sect, even if he used magical treasures.
The Blazing Dragon Valley, with its thousand years of heritage, must have powerful divine weapons comparable to magical treasures.
One could be confident.
But one couldn’t be arrogant.
“Next is the Golden Core Realm…”
“Swallow a Golden Core into my belly, my fate is my own, not dictated by heaven.”
This was a turning point for cultivators.
Only by stepping into the Golden Core Realm could one be considered to have truly entered the world of cultivation.
“Golden Cores are divided into four grades: Low-Grade, Middle-Grade, High-Grade, and Perfect Golden Core. The Perfect Golden Core is also known as the Great Dao Golden Core, with boundless potential…”
According to the information from the Wind and Moon Mirror, Zhou Chen now needed 10 million Romance Points to advance to the Low-Grade Golden Core, 20 million to advance to the Middle-Grade Golden Core, 50 million to advance to the High-Grade Golden Core, and 100 million to advance to the Perfect Golden Core.
Moreover, he had established a Yin-Yang Dao Foundation. While this foundation was powerful, he had to achieve Yin-Yang harmony to form a Perfect Golden Core.
In other words, he had to cultivate a water-attribute Immortal Path cultivation method to complement the Red Emperor Fire God Art. Only then could he form a Perfect Golden Core.
Even if Zhou Chen wanted to maximize the potential of his Perfect Golden Core, it would be best to cultivate all five elements of his Five Elements Spiritual Root.
Yin and Yang transform into the five elements.
The five elements can also transform into Yin and Yang. This is true perfection.
Although water and fire can also transform into Yin and Yang, it is not as good as the five elements transforming into Yin and Yang.
The Five Elements Spiritual Root may not be the strongest spiritual root, but it is definitely one of the most perfect spiritual roots.
“Damn it! Who the hell said my Five Elements Spiritual Root was a waste root?”
Zhou Chen finally understood the value of the Five Elements Spiritual Root. Those low-level rogue cultivators in the cultivation world didn’t know shit.
However, cultivating all five elements was indeed slower than cultivating a single element and consumed more resources. Low-level cultivators lived a precarious life, so it was normal for them to consider it a waste root.
“My next goals are to accumulate Romance Points, take revenge on the Blazing Dragon Valley, obtain martial arts techniques, and collect Five Elements Immortal Arts…”
Zhou Chen summarized. Since he had the Wind and Moon Mirror, he had to form a Perfect Golden Core. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be laughable if he formed an ordinary Golden Core?
A Golden Core had to be formed in one go, it was impossible to improve it bit by bit. Therefore, his Immortal Path cultivation could not be improved for the time being.
Zhou Chen thought for a moment. Now that he had reached 183 Transformations in Body Refinement and mastered 184 martial arts techniques, he planned to fuse them to create a martial art unique to himself.
“Add points, fuse!”
Zhou Chen did as he thought. Romance Points were rapidly consumed.
The 184 martial arts techniques flashed through Zhou Chen’s mind like a slideshow.
184 figures appeared in Zhou Chen’s mind.
Each figure demonstrated a martial art.
Heaven-Supporting Sword, Yi’s Archery, Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique, Heavenly Saber Technique, Great Sumeru Hammer, Emperor Yu’s Axe, Coiling Dragon Staff, Wood God Art, Black Dragon Spear, Great Strength Ox Demon Fist, One Yang Finger, Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps, One Finger Zen, Mysterious Yin Finger, Wind and Snow Sword, General-Slaying Saber…
As the martial arts techniques were demonstrated, similar figures fused first.
For example, Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps, Crossing the River on a Single Reed, Roaming Dragon Steps, Fish-Dragon Steps, Eight Steps Chasing Cicada, and more than ten other light body skills fused together, unexpectedly forming an unparalleled divine art.
One Yang Finger, Mysterious Yin Finger, and One Finger Zen fused together.
Great Strength Ox Demon Fist, Fierce Tiger Fist, Mountain-Shaking Fist, and other fist techniques fused together.
Mountain-Splitting Palm, Heart-Crushing Palm, Poison Dragon Palm, and other palm techniques fused together…
These fused finger techniques, fist techniques, and palm techniques fused again, forming an unparalleled divine art.
In short, similar techniques fused first, then related techniques fused, and finally, dissimilar techniques fused.
It felt like an instant had passed for Zhou Chen’s consciousness, and also like thousands of years had passed.
A total of 1 million Romance Points were consumed.
All of Zhou Chen’s martial arts techniques fused into one.
“This martial art encompasses all things, it will be called Martial Canon!”
Zhou Chen felt the fused martial art, Martial Canon.
Martial Canon contained four unparalleled divine arts.
One was a super-powerful unparalleled divine art formed by fusing the unparalleled divine art Heaven-Supporting Sword with Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique and other sword techniques.
Zhou Chen still named it Heaven-Supporting Sword.
The second was an unparalleled light body skill formed by fusing Lightning Flash Divine Movement Steps, Crossing the River on a Single Reed, Roaming Dragon Steps, Fish-Dragon Steps, and more than ten other light body skills.
Zhou Chen named it Roaming Dragon Treading on Kun, possessing the changeability of a dragon and the extreme speed of a Kun, ever-changing and unparalleled in the world.
The third was an unparalleled divine art formed by fusing One Yang Finger, Mysterious Yin Finger, Great Strength Ox Demon Fist, Heart-Plucking Dragon Claw, and other fist, palm, and finger techniques.
Zhou Chen named it Hundred Transformations Wish-Fulfilling Hand, somewhat similar to his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, but not entirely the same. Fist techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques were integrated into one, readily available, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful.
The last was an unparalleled divine art formed by fusing Heavenly Saber Technique, General-Slaying Saber, and many other saber techniques.
Zhou Chen named it Divine Saber Technique, with saber strikes like a god, severing everything in two, unmatched by gods or ghosts.
And he could still use Yi’s Archery and other martial arts techniques, it was like they had been given a stronger engine, making them even more powerful.
“Spending that 1 million Romance Points was worth it!”
Zhou Chen felt refreshed and full of vigor. From now on, he could fuse all his martial arts techniques into Martial Canon. While strengthening Martial Canon, the fused unparalleled divine arts would also become stronger, and even more unparalleled divine arts might be fused.
For example, if he cultivated a few more spear techniques, he might be able to fuse an unparalleled spear technique.
“Master Uncle has contributed greatly to my current strength. I’ll go find Master Uncle and celebrate properly!”
The thought flashed through Zhou Chen’s mind, and he quietly went to Spirit Medicine Peak.
With his Foundation Establishment complete and the increase in the number of Body Refinement Transformations, Zhou Chen’s divine sense was incredibly powerful, easily sensing Cheng Su Su’s location.
Zhou Chen was extremely familiar with Cheng Su Su’s aura.
Cheng Su Su was refining pills in the alchemy room.
Zhou Chen arrived quietly, not disturbing her, and watched Cheng Su Su refine pills intently. The faint fragrance of medicine mixed with the feminine fragrance on Cheng Su Su’s body was particularly intoxicating.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.
When Cheng Su Su finished refining a furnace of pills, Zhou Chen, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hugged Cheng Su Su from behind.
Zhou Chen lifted Cheng Su Su’s skirt from behind and embraced her directly.
“Ah, you rascal, you always sneak up on me!”
Cheng Su Su wasn’t surprised by Zhou Chen’s arrival, or rather, she had long been accustomed to Zhou Chen barging into her room without knocking every time.
At first, she was a little resentful, feeling that Zhou Chen didn’t care about her feelings at all.
But over time.
Cheng Su Su felt that it was actually quite exciting.
Zhou Chen’s sudden arrival every time gave her a feeling of defenselessness and thrill.
Kissing Master Uncle’s fair neck, the two of them came to the window.
Cheng Su Su gripped the window sill tightly, her silver teeth clenched.
At first, Cheng Su Su was unwilling. If they were seen, she would die of embarrassment.
However, after Zhou Chen’s relentless efforts and sweet talk, he finally succeeded.
Moreover, Cheng Su Su specifically instructed her disciples that no one was allowed to disturb her while she was refining pills.
“I really want to hold Master Uncle forever and never let go!”
“Smooth talker!”
“Master Uncle is the one with a smooth mouth!”
“Don’t say that…”
The sun rose and the moon set.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Looking at Master Uncle, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Zhou Chen had a faint smile on his lips, feeling very satisfied.
After enjoying himself for a few more days, Zhou Chen planned to set off to deal with the Blazing Dragon Valley.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The Azure Cloud Bell suddenly rang. Cheng Su Su abruptly opened her eyes, looked at Zhou Chen who was still lying in her room, and chided: “Aren’t you going out yet?”
“Sigh, I haven’t had enough yet!”
Zhou Chen sighed: “I really want to stay in Master Uncle’s room forever and never leave!”
“Smooth talker!”
Cheng Su Su tapped Zhou Chen’s head and pushed him.
Zhou Chen got out of bed and went to Azure Cloud Peak with Cheng Su Su.
He found that after a year, people from the Heavenly Sword Sect had come again.
“They really come every year!”
Zhou Chen sighed, thinking of how last year on this day, in this very place, the faces of people and peach blossoms reflected each other’s redness.
This year, it was still the same familiar beauties.
Jian Xiong.
Gu Chang Ying.
And a new face.
As for Yang Fan’s death, although the Heavenly Sword Sect suspected the Azure Cloud Sect, they had no evidence.
After some back and forth, the matter was dropped.
“Jian Xiong… Gu Chang Ying…”
After a year of not seeing them, Zhou Chen missed them dearly!
…
