"Crushing a Golden Core is nothing. Back in the day, I shattered a Nascent Soul with the fifth step of the Sky-Lifting Thunder."
Bai Jue said proudly.
"What! Even a Nascent Soul can be shattered?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Liu was truly shocked.
A Nascent Soul, that's the foundation of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
The Nascent Soul, even a Spiritual Artifact can't compare.
If a Golden Core is as hard as cold iron, the Nascent Soul, gathering all the power of the Nascent Soul Stage, is simply the hardest substance on earth.
Even if a person's physical body is dispersed, trying to crush a Nascent Soul is absolutely impossible.
Yet, Bai Jue was able to shatter a Nascent Soul, it's simply terrifying!
"What's a Nascent Soul? Before a true powerhouse, a re glance is enough to destroy it!"
Bai Jue had to tell Xia Liu this fact.
The Nascent Soul Stage is only considered mid-to-low level among cultivators.
Compared to truly powerful beings, the Nascent Soul Stage is insignificant.
But Xia Liu's current cultivation is too weak, so Bai Jue wouldn't reveal too much for now.
Knowing too much would disturb a cultivator's heart state.
"It seems my path is still very long..."
Xia Liu sighed endlessly.
"Take your ti, one day you'll beco such a peerless powerhouse."
Bai Jue had faith in Xia Liu, because of his talent and background!
"I should first recover, then return to Dongliu County!"
Seated cross-legged, Xia Liu entered a cultivation state.
He had endured the fourth step of the Thunder Control Technique, the Immortal-Destroying Thunder, already exceeding his limits.
If he didn't quickly work on recovery, he might have to stay in the Golden Capital District for a long ti.
A month later, a small group gathered in Xia Liu's courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, all of them were at the Golden Core Stage!
They were led by Chen Yan.
Apparently, within this month, Chen Yan had unified all the top figures of Chen Kingdom.
"Senior, should I call you King Chen now?"
Xia Liu appeared, smiling as he looked at Chen Yan.
At this mont, Chen Yan, dressed in a golden dragon robe, clearly looked like an emperor.
"Haha! Young Friend, what are you saying? You're always a fellow cultivator here."
Even a senior!
However, Chen Yan didn't call Xia Liu senior.
No one present dared to disagree with Chen Yan's words.
The entire Chen Kingdom knew that Chen Beixuan was an evil cultivator who had seized the throne of the Third Prince.
Three years ago, he even devoured the talent of the previous Prince Consort.
This ti, he was defeated by the young Xia Liu, his Golden Core shattered.
One could say that Xia Liu beca famous overnight.
His feats have beco legendary in Chen Kingdom.
With a Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, he displayed world-shaking divine skills, with a single finger crushing Chen Beixuan's Golden Core!
Such deeds have beco an aspiration for countless cultivators.
Xia Liu smiled agreeably, knowing soone with such a broad mind like Chen Yan will undoubtedly lead Chen Kingdom well.
"Senior Chen Yan, I must return to my county now."
"Hmm, I had a feeling. I wonder what I can do for you?"
Chen Yan took it very naturally, understanding Xia Liu's reasons for coming to the Golden Capital District.
He saw this farewell day coming.
He had helped remove the evil cultivator Chen Beixuan from Chen Kingdom, and now he was to return.
Chen Yan genuinely hoped he could repay him sohow.
"I do have so significant tasks for which I'd like your help, Senior."
Xia Liu thought for a mont and said.
"Please speak, Young Friend Xia."
Chen Yan showed unconditional support, willing to risk even serious injuries to help Xia Liu.
"When I return, I may face a formidable force in a third-level capital county. I'd like to borrow so of your people for deterrence, Senior Chen Yan."
Xia Liu wasn't worried about Ling Duo.
He was more concerned about the forces behind Lady's Pavilion.
If he could bring back so Golden Core Stage cultivators as a deterrent, the forces behind Lady's Pavilion might settle down a bit.
As for Ling Duo, seeing the support of Golden Core Stage cultivators, he might let go of his evil intentions.
"Only for deterrence?"
Chen Yan inquired.
"Yes, only for deterrence. If conflict arises, I'll handle it myself."
Seeing Xia Liu's serious expression, Chen Yan understood the aning behind his words.
Just as this ti, he was only a bystander, everything was handled by Xia Liu.
"Alright! How many people does Young Friend Xia need? I've calculated that there are thirty-five Golden Core Stage cultivators in and outside Chen Kingdom. If you need them all, I can summon those outside imdiately."
For Xia Liu, Chen Yan was willing to mobilize more than half of his Golden Core Stage cultivators to accompany him.
In recent years, Chen Kingdom had established nurous defensive formations.
Even if powerful foes attacked, simply dealing with various spirit formations would bother them for a year or two.
So, even emptying all Golden Core Stage cultivators wouldn't overly worry Chen Kingdom.
"No need, no need, just ten Golden Core Stage cultivators will suffice."
Xia Liu was startled by Chen Yan's words.
Taking over thirty Golden Core Stage cultivators back with him?
That would surely frighten many people.
"Alright! We'll follow Young Friend Xia's arrangents. When do you plan to set off, Young Friend Xia?"
"If possible, this afternoon."
By the count of ti, Xia Liu had been away for over a year, with much ti left until the three-year agreent.
Upon returning, he hopes to bring so surprises to everyone.
"Great! I'll select the Golden Core Stage cultivators to accompany you soon."
Chen Yan departed with his n.
He needed to make so adjustnts to prevent any unpreparedness.
In the afternoon, Xia Liu's courtyard welcod ten Golden Core Stage powerhouses again.
Chen Yan was still leading them.
"Senior Chen Yan, you're dressed like this?"
Looking at the plainly dressed Chen Yan, Xia Liu asked curiously.
"Without you, I might not have survived this long. Such kindness is unforgettable, and now that you need help, I certainly cannot stand by."
Chen Yan spoke very candidly.
"Senior Chen Yan, you still need to oversee Chen Kingdom."
"Rest assured, I've made arrangents. No matter how long I'm away, it doesn't matter."
His implied aning was that even if he perished, Chen Kingdom would still function.
Xia Liu could say no more. After expressing his heartfelt gratitude, he led the group away using sword control.
After over three months of traveling, Xia Liu, Chen Yan, and others finally neared Dongliu County.
Over a year later, returning to this land brought a flood of emotions to Xia Liu.
He wondered how Bai Xiao and the Bai Clan were faring within the Imperial Sky Gate.
Tang Ze was likely still entangled in Ling Duo's deceit.
That old monster of Ling Duo was probably constantly wondering if he was already on his way back.
"Dongliu County, looks like we've arrived!"
Seeing the standing boundary marker ahead, Chen Yan remarked.
"Yes, in another ten days, I'll reach my sect."
"Imperial Sky Gate, huh..."
Chen Yan had heard a lot from Xia Liu throughout the journey.
He learned about his stories with the Imperial Sky Gate and many others.
"Yes, before reaching Imperial Sky Gate, please disguise yourselves a bit."
"Haha! Understood!"
Chen Yan and the others gradually took out black robes from their storage bags to conceal themselves.
At the sa ti, they ensured their energy remained hidden.
