For the next half a month, Su Zimo discovered that Night Spirit – the mysterious little beast – was extrely picky with its food.
It did not touch the flesh of ordinary demon beasts at all.
When it ca to ancient remnant beasts, Night Spirit would choose to eat so.
It did not seem like it enjoyed them either, eating very little.
Su Zimo did not give much thought to it, rely assuming that they had not found the right food.
After all, most demon beasts would not eat every other demon beasts as well – they had their own preference too.
Su Zimo planned to wait till Night Spirit was older before taking it out so that it could hunt on its own to see the type of demon beasts it preferred.
As ti went by, Night Spirit’s body began to turn rougher as though sothing was growing out.
A month later.
The disheveled old man ca for a sudden visit.
“Zimo, I’ve got good news!”
He said with a smile the mont he entered, “Prepare yourself. Three days later, Wen Xuan and so of the elders are going to take you sowhere.”
“Huh? Where?” Su Zimo asked.
“Fifty kiloters away from the sect exists Dongling Valley, a place with a unique terrain that is a natural spirit gathering spot. All the surrounding spirit qi in the area are gathered in the valley and injected into a spirit pool.”
The disheveled old man continued, “Every 10 years, when the spirit pool is filled, it will open once for the perfected Foundation Establishnt Cultivators of the sect to cultivate within. A single year of cultivation within is equivalent to five years outside!”
Su Zimo nodded.
In that case, Dongling Valley was truly a blessed place.
However, a doubt rose in Su Zimo’s heart as he said, “Master, I’m not at perfected Foundation Establishnt.”
The disheveled old man chuckled. “This was initially none of your business indeed. However, Elder Chen made a suggestion to allow so of the inner sect disciples with imnse talent and potential to cultivate within the spirit pool as well. In the main hall of Ethereal Palace, Elder Chen even ntioned your na specifically.”
“Oh?” Su Zimo was slightly surprised.
He had only joined the inner sect for a short period of ti and was mostly in seclusion. As such, he truly did not know who this Elder Chen was.
The disheveled old man continued, “Zimo, when you see Elder Chen three days later, make sure to thank him properly.”
Su Zimo nodded.
After returning to the sect, Su Zimo’s schedule had been very packed.
Apart from researching weapon refinent techniques, he had to work on the Candlelight Sword Formation while raising his immortality and demonic cultivation alongside taking care of Night Spirit.
It was rare for him to have such an opportunity. Su Zimo could make use of this to put everything aside and focus on his cultivation so that he could make an early breakthrough!
...
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Su Zimo naturally could not take monkey, spirit tiger and little crane along with him for this trip.
Moreover, Dongling Valley was a place for immortality cultivators and it was useless even if monkey and the others joined him.
However, when it heard that Su Zimo was going to leave, Night Spirit ‘heeya-ed’ non-stop and insisted on tagging along no matter what.
After hesitating for a long ti, Su Zimo’s heart softened and he finally agreed to it.
For the past month, under Su Zimo’s strict orders, Night Spirit had not taken a single step out of the cave abode.
“It’s probably ti for it to take a look at the world outside.”
At that thought, Su Zimo stuffed Night Spirit inside his robes and instructed for it to not co out before leaving the cave abode.
The gathering spot was the front peak of the sect.
Upon arriving, Su Zimo caught sight of two familiar faces.
Little fatty and Leng Rou.
“Bro, here!” Little fatty waved to him.
Leng Rou nodded slightly and greeted, “Junior Brother Su.”
Given Leng Rou’s character, the fact that she would take the initiative to greet soone was already unprecedented.
It had been a while since they last t and both little fatty and Leng Rou were at late-stage Foundation Establishnt.
Of course, that did not an that Su Zimo’s cultivation speed was not fast enough.
It was the opposite.
Su Zimo’s cultivation speed was already extrely fast. Despite spending a good half of his efforts on elixir and weapon refinent, formations and demonic cultivation, his immortality cultivation realm did not fall behind!
Beside little fatty and Leng Rou stood thirty odd inner sect disciples.
Su Zimo swept his gaze across.
These inner sect disciples were all at late-stage Foundation Establishnt!
Su Zimo raised his brows but did not say anything.
As ti passed by, more cultivators arrived gradually.
Surveying from the beginning, be it the cultivators that arrived first or later on, Su Zimo realized that he was the only mid-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!
Su Zimo sensed an unusual aura and felt that sothing was amiss.
If this Dongling Valley trip was based on one’s cultivation, late-stage Foundation Establishnt disciples should be ranked before him who was at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt.
If it was in terms of potential and endownt, why was it that other than him, the rest were all at late-stage and perfected Foundation Establishnt?
The arrangent was filled with conflict no matter how he looked at it.
“Look! Those are the three great legacy disciples of our sect!”
Little fatty gave a low cry and pointed at three people who were flying over not far away, “The grey robed cultivator on the left is Ji Chengtian and it’s said that he’s a four ridian Foundation Establishnt!”
Typically, perfected Foundation Establishnt Cultivators would be referred to by the number of ridians they have unlocked.
“The blue robed cultivator on the right is Luo Yi and he’s also a four ridian Foundation Establishnt. In the middle is the leader of the three great legacy disciples, Qin Yu. He’s at five ridian Foundation Establishnt and is also the true number one of the inner sect! I even heard from master that Qin Yu has a chance of unlocking the sixth ridian before the sect competition!”
Normally, one would have an extrely high chance of forming a core if they had four ridians unlocked.
In the sect competition, four ridian Foundation Establishnt Cultivators had a chance of ranking in the top ten while five ridian Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were a shoo-in for the top ten!
As for six ridian Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, it was considered to be very good if one or two of them appeared in the once every ten years sect competition.
From that viewpoint, one could understand the preciousness of one of Ethereal Peak’s three secret skills – Ethereal Foundation Establishnt manual.
Cultivating Ethereal Foundation Establishnt would ensure at least four unlocked ridians.
Thereafter, it would depend on the cultivator’s own endownt, talent, perceptiveness and fate.
Through thousands of years, there had indeed been disciples of the sect who had unlocked six ridians.
In Tianhuang Mainland, even if those at six ridian Foundation Establishnt continued cultivating till they were 100 years old, they might not be able to unlock the seventh ridian.
If they wanted to progress, they had to enter the ancient battlefield.
That was the only place where they could obtain heavenly defying opportunities and lock their seventh... even eighth ridians!
The reason why cultivators wanted to unlock as many ridians as possible wasn’t only because of the increase in strength – it was preparation for core formation!
The quality of a Golden Core ford from four ridians was naturally incomparable to the quality of one ford from five ridians.
The quality of a Golden Core of five ridians was incomparable to a Golden Core of six ridians...
It was said that once the quality of a Golden Core reaches a certain level, the spirit energy in their bodies would achieve a harmony with the heavens and earth and a phenonon that would shock the world would be born!
That was the famous Golden Core phenonon of the cultivation world!
