However, though they admired him, they did not envy him.
In their eyes, Bai Ziyue’s strength had long surpassed the Divine Realm level, comparable to a Golden Core Realm True Monarch. The Star Order level, for such a powerhouse, was not exactly insignificant but certainly not so important.
Bai Ziyue only needed to desire it, and it was completely within reach.
Therefore, his Star Order level being elevated directly from Six-star to Nine-star, although shocking and enviable to them, seed quite natural.
In the following period, True Monarch Qianyuan did not bring up the topic again, instead genuinely began the Dao Discussion.
Various Divine Skills and mystic arts, the ways of use, and so applications of the Heaven and Earth Dao flowed from his lips like a lotus, benefiting everyone greatly.
*Though Bai Ziyue’s foundation was equally deep, his level was insufficient,* *his understanding of the Dao was ultimately not as comprehensive as a true Golden Core Realm powerhouse.* *Thus, he also felt he gained sowhat, occasionally he would raise so questions.*
*Though not getting the full answers, he considered it more avenues for thought.*
*At tis, he would also express so unique insights.*
The profundity of them amazed everyone, so ways of using Divine Techniques were exquisite, even True Monarch Qianyuan found great gains, truly feeling Bai Ziyue’s depth of foundation, perhaps even equal to his own.
This increased his regard for him in his heart.
Unknowingly, ti passed.
In the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.
Only then did the group cease the Dao Discussion, exchanged smiles, and then each took their leave.
"This Dao Discussion yielded substantial gains.
Not only did it enhance my understanding of the Heaven and Earth Dao, but I fully grasped the differences between the Divine Realm and the Golden Core Realm.
I also gained clarity on the distinction of the pill grade and its relation to a cultivator’s potential."
Walking out of the Dao Tea House, Bai Ziyue silently contemplated, feeling a wave of contentnt in his heart.
"The Golden Core Realm is a watershed for Immortal Cultivators.
Once the pill formation occurs, not only does longevity experience an imdiate increase, reaching up to a thousand years, but one’s strength undergoes an earth-shaking transformation.
It’s even possible for the Golden Core to detach from the flesh, wander the void, and even if the flesh falls, by relying on the Golden Core alone, the cultivator can survive again and endure in the world."
Bai Ziyue pondered the various wonders of the Golden Core Realm, increasingly anticipating this realm.
"Moreover, I also understood the differences in the grades of pill formation for cultivators.
Immortal Cultivators, when breaking through from the Divine Realm to the Golden Core Realm, due to various Cultivation Technique grades and individual fortune and foundation differences, form different grades of Golden Core.
Thus, the saying ’pill divided into nine grades, each grade differs’ holds true.
The Lower Third-Grade represents the Void Pill, the Middle Third-Grade the Solid Pill, and the Upper Third-Grade is the Golden Core.
The higher the grade, the more solid the Golden Core, and consequently, the stronger the cultivator.
This is why it is said that only cultivators who condense an Upper Third-Grade Golden Core have hope to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, because transitioning from the Golden Core to the Primordial Spirit is another checkpoint.
During this checkpoint, heaven and earth descend a tribulation, a celestial tribulation, under such circumstances, naturally the more solid the Golden Core, the greater the chance of passing."
Bai Ziyue understood the distinction precisely, and his goal was exceedingly clear.
First Grade Pill Formation!
He had to achieve First-grade Golden Core formation.
With his Cultivation Technique grade, if he ford a pill, he would necessarily achieve a First-grade Golden Core.
"So now what I must do is swiftly elevate my strength to the peak of the Divine Realm, amass enough to complete the third Divine Transformation, then find a perfect place to harness the power of heaven and earth to compress strength and achieve Golden Core Realm.
Most cultivators search for places rich in Evil Qi, using the power of Evil Qi invasion to compress Divine Thought.
The more abundant the Evil Qi, the greater the compression force, and thus the higher the pill grade upon formation.
In Qingxu Sect, there is indeed a place of Evil Qi reaching the First-grade level.
However, having been used by countless generations of Qingxu Sect disciples for breakthroughs, it presumably has experienced so weakening in concentration.
Perhaps I need to look for another place?"
Bai Ziyue pondered quietly to himself, yet he wasn’t overly concerned.
At present, he still had so ti until he genuinely reached Perfection.
Because the entire Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique was self-created, during his cultivation, there was fundantally no talk of realm barriers, he could advance boldly and reach the peak.
However, if his strength increased too quickly, *he would also feel his power sowhat unstable and uncomfortable.*
*When summoning the Flying Sword, within a hundred ters, he might still be able to achieve hitting a chosen target, but once the distance exceeded a hundred ters, the direction would deviate, as the saying goes, missing by a tiny margin can lead to mistakes of a thousand miles.* *In such scenarios, during a fierce battle, it would undoubtedly be very disadvantageous.*
*It was a rather evident situation of insufficient personal power control.*
Especially when he elevated his realm to the late-stage Divine Realm level, this feeling beca even clearer.
So, even though he had acquired a large sum of Spirit Stones from the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch—enough to elevate his strength to the peak of the Divine Realm—he chose not to continue advancing.
Instead, he stabilized his realm gradually.
He planned to fully master his strength before continuing to elevate his power further.
After all, his current strength was already sufficient to handle most crises, so he was not too anxious.
Once his thoughts were settled, Bai Ziyue finally shifted his focus.
As the Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly approached, the flow of people within Cloud-piercing City beca markedly heavier compared to when Bai Ziyue had first arrived. The crowd made the area quite bustling.
Bai Ziyue walked among them, his gaze scanning the streets, finding a rare mont of tranquility.
"Hmm? Kunlun Pavilion?"
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue’s body shook as he looked toward the corner of the street at a shop that had clearly just hung up its sign.
"Could it be..."
Bai Ziyue approached directly, and almost imdiately saw inside the shop a female cultivator attending to a middle-aged cultivator. Surprisingly, it was Qiu Yuepiao, one of the first cultivators he t upon arriving at the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range.
Besides Qiu Yuepiao, there were two other hired service staff inside the shop, both looking like delicate female cultivators.
After thinking for a mont, Bai Ziyue did not enter imdiately but soon left.
When he appeared again, he had changed into different clothing, removing his Nine-star Divine Order and placing it into his Storage Bag. He also took off his Primordial Magnetic Mask, revealing his true appearance.
Then, he strode into the shop.
The entire shop was small and narrow compared to so others, and its location was not very favorable. Although a few cultivators entered, most were of lower strength, so the volu of transactions was naturally low.
"Welco, I wonder what the elder needs."
A delicate-looking female cultivator faintly sensed Bai Ziyue’s powerful aura and was surprised, quickly greeting him respectfully.
At this ti, Qiu Yuepiao had just finished responding to inquiries from a bunch of cultivators. She looked up at the newcor, her body trembling, and exclaid joyfully, "Elder Kunlun..."
Saying this, she hurriedly ca out from behind the counter, her face filled with joy and excitent as she looked at Bai Ziyue.
"Elder Kunlun?"
The female cultivator who had been attending Bai Ziyue froze upon hearing this, her mouth slightly open, full of amazent.
She knew, of course, the origins of this shop, said to be established by a cultivator nad Master Kunlun.
During usual chats, she often heard Qiu Yuepiao’s descriptions of Master Kunlun, and knew that he was a highly esteed Divine Realm Cultivator, moreover, a rare high-tier Third-Grade Alchemist, and an Elder of the Pill Treasure Hall in the Qingxu Sect, with a respected status.
This was sothing they could sense from the attitude of the occasional Qingxu Sect disciples who ca.
Could it be that the seemingly young and exceptionally handso elder cultivator before her was the Kunlun Daoist their shopkeeper often spoke of?
They did not know that Bai Ziyue had now changed significantly.
He was not only one of two Fourth-Grade Alchemists in the Qingxu Sect but also the next candidate for Hall Master of the Pill Treasure Hall within Qingxu Sect. His status was only below the Sect Leader and several Hall Masters.
This was why those Qingxu Sect disciples made deliberate visits and were so attentive to this remote corner shop.
"I was just walking down the street and happened to see this ’Kunlun Pavilion’ sign, and as I ca in to look, it indeed turned out to be you.
However, from Blood Peak City to Cloud-piercing City is a distance of three thousand miles, how did you get here? And you even moved the shop here?"
Bai Ziyue asked sowhat puzzledly.
He was indeed quite curious.
In the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range, due to the rampant demon cultivators and nurous Immortal Technique Thieves, dangers abounded.
Even though Qiu Yuepiao was able to consu the Enlightennt Pill because of him and beco an early-stage Enlightennt Realm Cultivator, such strength truly counted as nothing amidst the nurous powerhouses in Cloud-piercing City.
A journey of three thousand miles, any Enlightennt Realm Cultivator could easily rob her.
"This is a long story.
Back when the elder went to Qingxu Sect, you left my brother and to manage the shop, leaving countless precious Spirit Pills, which allowed us to earn a great deal of Spirit Stones, though we didn’t dare to squander them.
Coincidentally, outside Blood Peak City, there was a place called Fire Cloud Cave with a precious Spirit Ore called Fire Fla Crystal. A large number of cultivators rushed to explore it.
I learned of this and knew that the intense fire within Fire Cloud Cave would surely render Spirit Pills for treating fire injuries and fire-preventing Dharma Treasures scarce, so I boldly spent a large amount of Spirit Stones to acquire a bulk.
Indeed, over ti, this batch of Spirit Talismans and Spirit Pills skyrocketed in price, and I made a significant profit.
Then, not long after, I heard that the Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly would be held here in Cloud-piercing City, an event that takes place once every thirty years.
Moreover, I estimated that you, being an Elder of the Pill Treasure Hall, would definitely co, so I took another gamble, traveling as a regular loose cultivator, joining the caravan from Golden Jade Pavilion in Blood Peak City heading to Cloud-piercing City, experiencing an unexpectedly trouble-free journey to reach Cloud-piercing City."
Qiu Yuepiao, excited, dared not delay and quickly solemnly explained so of the experiences after Bai Ziyue’s departure.
