Although this Golden Core had only just condensed into shape, it belonged to the lowest level of the Land Immortal realm: the First-Turn Golden Core stage.

But, without a doubt, she had succeeded!

She had successfully broken through the shackles that had plagued the Demonic Sect for hundreds of years and stepped into that legendary realm of the Land Immortals!

Everyone on Taohuadao, upon sensing this brand-new aura of a Land Immortal, which was filled with supreme majesty,

was once again deeply shaken!

They came one after another to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations to Sect Master Zhu for the great success of your divine art and for stepping into the immortal realm!"

Zhu Wang Yuyan looked at the envious and awe-filled gazes of the crowd, her heart filled with indescribable excitement and emotion.

But even more so, it was filled with gratitude and awe for Ning Chuan that originated from the depths of her soul!

She knew that if not for the help of her master, she would likely have had no hope of stepping into this realm in her lifetime!

She arrived outside Ning Chuan's small courtyard, kowtowed respectfully, and said with a voice filled with infinite gratitude:

"Many thanks to Master for the grace of rebirth! Zhu Wang Yuyan shall serve you unto death in this life!"

Ning Chuan merely responded indifferently, not paying it much mind.

To him, creating a Land Immortal with a casual gesture was not a difficult task at all.

Huang Rong, however, felt a trace of urgency in her heart after seeing Zhu Wang Yuyan successfully break through.

She came to Ning Chuan's side, tugged at his dragon claw, and spoke with a mix of anticipation and worry:

"Brother Chuan, look, Sect Master Zhu is already so powerful; Rong'er also wants to become stronger!"

"Rong'er doesn't want to keep hiding behind Brother Chuan and be protected by you."

"Rong'er also wants... to be able to truly help you."

The young girl's heart was filled with a longing for power and love for the one she held dear.

Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan looked at Huang Rong's beautiful eyes, which were filled with anticipation and determination, and could not help but smile slightly.

He extended his dragon claw, gently stroked Huang Rong's hair, and said in a gentle voice:

"Silly girl, I know your heart."

"However, there is no need to rush."

"Once your Brother Chuan successfully passes the next heavenly tribulation and transforms into human form,"

"I will definitely give you a massive surprise."

He smiled mysteriously and did not say anything more.

Two days passed.

Ning Chuan seemed to have gained some new inspiration from Huang Rong's words.

He locked himself in the study once again.

He contemplated the profound discussions in Daoist classics regarding the union of yin and yang and the convergence of dragon and tiger.

He also recalled the strange methods in Buddhist esoteric sects regarding Joyous Zen and yin-yang dual cultivation.

Combining these with the many secret techniques in the Demonic Sect's Heavenly Demon Strategy regarding harvesting yin to replenish yang and dual cultivation of the primordial spirit,

he even had Zhu Wang Yuyan, the newly ascended Land Immortal, come in person to assist him in research regarding energy conversion and spiritual integration.

Finally, after exhausting countless mental efforts and inspiration,

a brand-new, and even more... mysterious and unpredictable cultivation technique slowly took shape in his mind!

[You have deeply contemplated the Daoist method of yin-yang union, the Buddhist Joyous Zen meditation technique, and the Demonic Sect's secret of primordial spirit dual cultivation...]

[You have combined the supreme yang and rigid power of your own dragon body with the supreme yin and soft nature of the female body...]

[You have grasped the supreme mystery of achieving complementary cultivation and simultaneous advancement in realm through yin-yang union and the harmony of dragon and phoenix...]

[You have successfully created a supreme dual cultivation profound art that is unprecedented and earth-shattering—the True Dragon Riding Phoenix Divine Art!]

True Dragon Riding Phoenix Divine Art!

The moment this supreme dual-cultivation profound art, which shook the past and present, took complete shape in Ning Chuan’s mind.

A trace of unspeakable heat and... anticipation could not help but flash in his pale golden dragon eyes.

He looked forward even more to passing the second heavenly tribulation—the Transformation Tribulation—and truly transforming into a human form.

He knew that the profoundness and power of this dual-cultivation divine art, which he had created himself, were far beyond ordinary martial arts.

It was not just a heaven-defying technique that could achieve mutual cultivation and simultaneous realm elevation through yin-yang union and dragon-phoenix harmony.

More importantly, it could help him better understand the most fundamental yin-yang Dao between heaven and earth.

Thereby allowing his [Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method] to go further and more steadily.

In this way, in the future, he could not only use dual cultivation with his women to improve his own cultivation realm more quickly.

But could also, in turn, feed back his extremely pure Jiao Long demonic power and insights into the Dao of heaven and earth to them through dual cultivation.

Helping them cleanse their marrow, improve their physiques, raise their cultivation, and even... give them the possibility of stepping into a higher level of cultivation.

This was the supreme Dao of mutual benefit and common progress!

Thinking of the future, when he transformed into a human form and explored the yin-yang Dao and climbed the peak of martial arts together with Huang Rong, Wang Wang Yuyan, Zhu Wang Yuyan, Wan Wan, Dai Dai Qisi, Shi Shi Feixuan, Bi Bi Xiuxin... and all these stunning beauties, each with their own merits.

Even with Ning Chuan’s powerful state of mind, which had long been as still as an ancient well, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart and his blood boiling.

"It seems this Transformation Tribulation must be triggered as soon as possible."

Ning Chuan thought to himself.

Immediately, he immersed all his mind once again into his own cultivation.

While continuing to breathe in the moonlight and polish the vast demonic power within his body that was about to be perfected, making final preparations for the upcoming Transformation Tribulation.

He also continued to study the vast sea of Daoist scriptures and martial arts manuals of various sects tirelessly.

Accumulating a deeper foundation for deducing the third tribulation of the [Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method], and even higher-level cultivation methods in the future.

Time passed quietly day by day in this calm and expectant atmosphere.

Although the Jianghu outside Taohuadao was gathering wind and clouds and surging with undercurrents.

Taohuadao itself seemed to have become the center of the storm, appearing unusually quiet.

And the screams of Northern Liang heir Xu Fengnian, who was hung on the reef in the East Sea, gradually became weak and numb from their initial shrillness and resentment.

Day after day of scorching sun and seawater washing had long since worn away his pride and dignity as an heir.

Leaving only endless pain and... a longing for death.

The disciples on Taohuadao would occasionally pass by that reef by boat.

Looking at the Northern Liang heir who was once arrogant and now hung there like a dead dog.

There was no longer any sympathy in their hearts, only endless awe for their Island Master’s thunderous methods.

They knew that this was the price for provoking the majesty of Taohuadao.

Ning Chuan naturally turned a blind eye to Xu Fengnian’s miserable state, only sneering.

He deliberately kept Xu Fengnian’s life, even occasionally using a trace of demonic power to keep him alive, not letting him die easily.

His purpose was to lure the snake out of its hole and completely draw out the self-righteous Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion hidden behind the scenes!

He knew that with Xu Xiao’s protective nature, he could never sit idly by and watch his son suffer such supreme humiliation.

He would certainly dispatch a large army to seek revenge!

And this was exactly what Ning Chuan wanted!

He could take this opportunity to completely resolve this trouble and, by the way... deter those other top forces who were still peeking in the dark.

He wanted the whole world to know what a heavy price would be paid for provoking the majesty of the Jiao Long Island Master!

Moreover, he was also very interested in the Listening Tide Pavilion of the Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion, which was hailed as the world’s treasure house of martial arts.

The number and rarity of the martial arts manuals collected there were probably no less than the Daoist scriptures of the Quanzhen Sect.

If he could take them all into his possession, it would certainly be of great benefit to his future cultivation.

……

Another day, early morning.

A fiery red morning sun rose slowly from the horizon, dyeing the entire Taohuadao sea area in a layer of gorgeous gold.

The sun was high, and the scorching sunlight roasted the lonely reef mercilessly.

Xu Fengnian let out a series of vague screams; his cut-off tongue made it impossible for him to utter a complete curse, only allowing him to make whimpers like a beast.

Suddenly!
