Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly after reading, praised: "Worthy of an Earth Grade Jin Shu, power aspect terrifying indeed.

Moreover, actually possesses multiple characteristics."

Only, technique though good, currently no place to use it.

Thinking back and forth, Xu Zhangqing's figure flashed, instantly entered Personal Space.

Reason for coming here very simple, just wanted to try a try the power.

Therefore, start testing from Effect 1.

Heaven-grade Golden Core in Qi Sea rotated slightly, mana rapidly consumed.

Instantly, 1 Geng Gold Blade condensed out of thin air, floated in front.

And exactly same as system-given information, at blade edge position indeed had serrations.

Xu Zhangqing another thread of mana consumed, quickly at side position, Earth Qi fused at extremely fast speed, finally transformed into 1 zhang-high, zhang-thick Earth Wall.

By rights, reaching this thickness defense not low.

However facing serrated Golden Blade, actually couldn't block.

Like knife cutting tofu silky smooth, instantly split in two, appeared unimpeded.

Speaking to bottom, different quality Golden Cores, power also not same.

Same technique and move, between different Golden Cores difference very large.

Heaven-grade Golden Core's terrifying place, is can crush Earth Grade, Human Grade.

For example, Xu Zhangqing's Heaven-grade Golden Core perception of Heaven and Earth laws deeper, more precise, therefore borrowing Xuan Seal's ability, can display even more terrifying might.

Any technique, when cast, will automatically carry Law Power.

For example Gold, that is Geng Gold sharpness.

On original basis, power, penetration etc effects will be higher.

Immediately after, Xu Zhangqing again started testing high-frequency vibration, needle golden light... until Geng Gold Domain time, discovered still underestimated power.

Once domain deployed, as long as consume mana will automatically generate Golden Blades, golden lights, and contain almost all characteristics, for example serrations, vibration, penetration etc, these not independent, but rather stacked together.

Clearly 1 kind of attack, caused damage yet diverse.

Only, this domain's mana consumption very large, even with Xuan Seal, at most can only persist an hour or so.

Once exceed will fall into overdrawn state, then automatically stop.

At that time, basically no mana left to consume.

However, facing this kind of terrifying damage, probably nothing can persist an hour, feel minutes will die violently.

Test finished, Xu Zhangqing looked toward Water Liang Gong direction, discovered Xiao Linglong opened Door, revealed a pair of eyes, sneakily staring here.

No surprise, should have been disturbed by just now's movement.

Seeing discovered, Xiao Linglong immediately shrank back, hid herself in blanket.

Xu Zhangqing as if teleported appeared at Water Liang Gong Gate, half-smiling looked inside, yet only saw a ball, immediately smiling asked: "How come you still not sleeping?"

Xiao Linglong's voice sounded from inside blanket, a bit muffled: "Because afraid monsters come eat Linglong, so Linglong dare not sleep."

Xu Zhangqing blinked eyes: "Indeed, I just now was fighting monsters."

Xiao Linglong poked out head, quite concerned asked: "Then Father injured?"

Xu Zhangqing immediately covered chest, pretended pained appearance: "Aiya, Father indeed injured, need someone massage shoulders to get better."

Xiao Linglong hearing this immediately from thick blanket laboriously crawled out, then bare feet ran all the way: "Father I'm coming~"

Xu Zhangqing immediately revealed scheme succeeded smile: "My family Linglong truly filial!"

……

……

One month later.

Zhao Ziyue, back from his hometown, prepared to undergo tribulation for his Golden Core.

Spirit tools, spirit talismans, spirit pills, and almost everything else needed were all prepared.

Facing this, he, usually frugal and even stingy, finally splurged once.

If it were a Qin Hua Golden Core, perhaps he wouldn't need to care so much.

But this time, Zhao Ziyue attempted to break through to an Earth Grade Golden Core, so he had to take it seriously.

Though a Single Spirit Root only needs to face one Turbid Thunder, because he absorbed core parts of monster cores with five attributes, it counts as heaven-defying.

In terms of power, it's already comparable to double Turbid Thunder.

If he couldn't withstand it, it wouldn't be as simple as failure; he might even perish body and soul.

And where to withstand the Turbid Thunder actually matters too.

A Water Spirit Root definitely needs to choose a place with abundant water.

First, dense Water Spirit Qi can speed up recovery.

Second, the Water Law will be clearer.

Ordinary cultivators, especially Loose Cultivators, basically look for great rivers outside.

But for Immortal Sect disciples, there are more choices; for example, Yu Shui Pavilion not only has Black Water but also Xuanwu, which can share the pressure at critical moments.

However, Zhao Ziyue is no longer an ordinary Formal Disciple now, but has taken a master, and to some extent is equivalent to a Core Disciple, only his status is a bit lower.

After all, his master has never resided at Xianfeng, but stays at Ling Beast Valley.

But this time, this unreliable master finally became reliable once.

Bringing Zhao Ziyue, who wanted to break through to an Earth Grade Golden Core, and the onlookers Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui, they prepared to go to Shuixian Peak, one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks.

So far, Xu Zhangqing had been to Qingmu Peak, Tiexue Peak, and Hou Tu Peak, and had always been very curious about the other four Great Immortal Peaks, but had never approached them.

The main reasons: one, it wasn't on the way; two, he had no qualification.

But this time, with Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui's master, Xu Linyuan, present, he could just take a look and see what the situation was.

However, after flying for a while, they stubbornly didn't see a shadow of the Immortal Peak.

"Master, where is the Immortal Peak?"

"Not there yet?"

"Did we fly the wrong way?"

Because Xu Linyuan had always stayed near Ling Beast Valley fishing, Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui had never entered the Immortal Peak.

Therefore, like Xu Zhangqing, it was their first time, and they were very unfamiliar with it.

Although they had investigated and slightly understood relevant information on ordinary days.

But what exactly the situation was, they really didn't know.

Xu Linyuan stopped, then pointed ahead: "We've arrived."

However, the three looked around with blank expressions: "Where?"

Just then, Xu Linyuan smiled smugly, then raised his hand and pointed.

With a flash of spiritual light, the next second, before Xu Zhangqing and the others, space, air, and even the entire area rippled like waves.

At first very weak, as time passed it became more violent, and finally a shimmering lake surface actually appeared.

Seeing this scene, even Xu Zhangqing, who had seen great winds and waves, was stunned for a moment.

However, as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he discovered this water was not normal, or rather, not right.

Xu Linyuan took in the three's reactions, then asked: "What do you see?"

Hu Bugui spoke first: "Water, I saw lake water."

Zhao Ziyue nodded in agreement: "Me too."

Xu Zhangqing said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Xu Linyuan shook his head: "This is just what Shuixian Peak wants you to see; in fact, I see a mirror."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue were stunned.

Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful instead.

Suddenly, the shimmering lake surface before their eyes calmed down.

Then it transformed into an incomparably huge mirror, as if encompassing heaven and earth.

Xu Linyuan introduced: "Shuixian Peak is a fragment of the ancient water system divine artifact Canglan Mirror, split into seven pieces total; this is the largest piece."

The first Sect Master picked it up and refined it into our Shuixian Peak exclusive to Water Spirit Roots."

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing felt doubtful: "Immortal Master Xu, why are our Immortal Sect's Immortal Peaks either a Great Power's natal divine artifact or a fragment of some divine artifact?"

Xu Linyuan explained: "During the Ancient Period, the Immortal-Demon Great War caused many Great Powers to fall, even forcing the rules and laws of the entire Tianyuan Realm to change."

Although not described in detail, one could learn from fragmentary words.

The Tianyuan Realm of the Ancient Period should have been more glorious than now.

Great Powers and strong ones emerged in endless numbers.

However, now, top combat power is only the Three Great Immortal Sects.

Xu Zhangqing and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Xu Linyuan glanced at Zhao Ziyue and said quite firmly: "Although Yu Shui Pavilion has Xuanwu and Teng Snake, Shuixian Peak is not bad either; the Water Spirit Qi here is dense, the Water Law is clearer, and with the Illusion Array assisting, it will definitely let you break through to an Earth Grade Golden Core."

Zhao Ziyue quickly clasped his hands: "Thank you, Master!"

Xu Linyuan waved his hand: "Go, let's enter."

As the four continuously approached, the mirror surface rippled weakly again.

Immediately afterward, heaven and earth abruptly inverted, as if a cross-spatial displacement had occurred.

Xu Zhangqing reacted the fastest, immediately recovered, then looked around his surroundings, and instantly stared wide-eyed.

He only felt as if he had arrived in a world within a landscape painting.

Everything here is composed of water, light and shadow flowing, magnificently beautiful.

In the Outer Perimeter, nine Water Pulses, as if nine Water Dragons, coil around.

They at times flow quietly.

At times surge turbulently.

The mountains all around, the earth all around, are all formed of water, yet are no different from the real thing, and can likewise be used to plant fields and cultivate.

Looking out, everywhere are clear Water Pulses, Liquid Water Essence, concentrated living water!
