Chapter 353

I have to admit, Wang Chao really did a good job.

At least on the surface, all the Dragon People have tasks, whether they are willing or not, and at least some vitality has been aroused within the Dragon People.

Moreover, the Dragon People themselves are naturally gifted; with a little cultivation, the strength of the entire Dragon People is rapidly increasing.

However, the problem this brings is that the resources near the Myriad Dragon Palace are never enough.

So Wang Chao personally led a team to dive deeper into the Boundless Sea Trench, where he discovered a vein of Spiritual Stone and two Profound Heavy Water Veins.

"We must secure these resources!" Wang Chao sat indoors, looking at the crowd.

"Although the deeper areas are fraught with danger, as long as we work together and gradually break through, we will surely obtain them!" Wang Chao set the goal, and Long Batian nodded.

"However, the demon kings and even demon emperors in the deeper regions are hard to deal with; how can we drive them away?"

"I will ask the priest to take action; he also promised that if we encounter a demon emperor, he will definitely help." Wang Chao said.

Long Batian nodded: "Since that's the case, we'll take people over there and lure those demon kings out one by one to capture and kill them."

"Mm!"

Afterward, Wang Chao and his group began the hunting plan.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Yan Buji felt something in his heart; all his True Essence had gathered in his dantian, and at the moment a radiant Golden Core formed, his soul took residence within it, merging completely with the True Essence Golden Core!

In an instant!

A violent shockwave transmitted; the condensation of True Essence seemed to have a greater impact than the breakthrough of magical power core formation, and in the great sea trench tens of thousands of meters below, a patch of mist actually appeared, the blackness spreading across the sky interrupting everyone's activities.

"What is that?"

"Heavenly tribulation? Who is undergoing tribulation here?"

"No, who broke through? Could it be that the priest has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"It doesn't look like it; I've seen Nascent Soul breakthroughs before, and they weren't this weak."

"Then it must be a Golden Core breakthrough?"

"But this is a forbidden land; logically, such a situation shouldn't occur here."

The Ten Great Forbidden Lands seem to possess a certain characteristic that suppresses heavenly and earthly laws, so even ordinary cultivators breaking through Golden Core again would not attract heavenly tribulation.

But the heavenly tribulation that suddenly appeared now leaves people bewildered.

At this moment, Yan Buji rushed out of his residence, charging toward the upper region of the Myriad Dragon Palace and plunged into the cloud layer!

Boom—!!

In the instant of blazing electric light flashing, the upper region of the Myriad Dragon Palace seemed to witness unprecedented brilliance; amidst the bursting thunder, only a lone figure could be seen bearing thousands of thunderbolts, standing unyielding!

Wang Man widened his eyes: "Even a Martial Cultivator forming a Golden Core would attract heavenly tribulation even in a forbidden land?"

Yang Long beside him also found it hard to believe, looking upward: "Aren't you afraid Yan Buji will die in the heavenly tribulation?"

"If he were that easy to kill, then I must have misjudged him."

"Hahaha."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhang Yao and Long Fei, in their residence, watched the thunderclouds and the tribulation figure in the high sky, and couldn't help but worry.

"Has Yan Buji emerged from seclusion? Looking at this, once the thunder tribulation passes, he can break through to Golden Core." Zhang Yao stroked her belly; she and her husband had another child, so this time they did not follow Long Batian and Wang Chao on the hunt, and likewise for Long Fei.

Long Fei is already pregnant with Wang Chao's child; thanks to the Dragon People's birthing method, the Dragon People now have numerous adorable little lives.

She feels she must support Wang Chao, whether as her husband, as a mother, or for the sake of those many little Dragon People; she also needs to protect herself well, so as not to put pressure on Wang Chao.

And at this moment, the source of their pressure has appeared!

After a long while, the thunderclouds above the Myriad Dragon Palace dissipated, Yan Buji fell to the ground, feeling explosive power throughout his body!

Martial Dao Golden Core!

His Golden Core in the dantian does not interfere with magical power, but now Yan Buji's realm has reached the threshold of transcending ordinary cultivators, giving him new insights into everything in the world.

However, before he could digest it, Wang Man and Yang Long rushed over, shouting happily: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yan, on breaking through to Golden Core!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yan has finally broken through." Yang Long bowed with a smile.

Yan Buji laughed and cupped his hands: "I will first go into secluded cultivation for two days to consolidate my realm, then we'll talk later."

"Good."

A few days later.

Yan Buji had his power under control, gradually digesting the insights he gained, and gradually came to understand why Golden Core cultivators are so powerful.

This might also be because Yan Buji follows the Martial Dao path, so it differs somewhat from magical cultivation; he gained some insights about Martial Dao, especially how to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and the like!

But after the insight, Yan Buji felt strange—how could he possibly now understand how to break through to Nascent Soul via Martial Dao?

Speaking of that method, is it really feasible?

This inexplicable insight made Yan Buji sense whether someone might be deliberately sending him information.

However, now that Yan Buji has just achieved the Golden Core realm, the authenticity of the insights gained during his breakthrough need not be questioned; he simply has a long way to go before reaching Nascent Soul, so there's no need to rush.

"Shatter the Golden Core, have essence, qi, and spirit nourish the flesh, and then unite spirit and flesh to break the taboo?" Yan Buji fell silent.

This sudden insight made Yan Buji feel somewhat unreal; since he didn't know the underlying principle, he only knew that from the moment his soul inhabited the Golden Core, his perception of essence, qi, and spirit underwent a sudden change.

Since it's all about the union of essence, qi, and spirit, what would happen if the Golden Core were shattered? Logically, although one would lose power, it shouldn't lead to death.

Just as Yan Buji had this thought, a method of spirit-flesh unity appeared in his mind.

This seems.... to be the path ahead after Martial Dao is severed....

So, who exactly gave this to me?

Is it for that person who will appear in the future, using me as a preparatory pawn?

Yan Buji smiled: "Perhaps, I have indeed seized the heavenly timing."

Upon careful thought, among the countless beings of the world and the myriad cultivators, how many could receive such special treatment?

Great Demon Wuji can break taboos, which means the sages' severance is not truly a severance; the Path of One endures eternally. Could it be that walking the path of Martial Dao is the smartest choice?

"Then why did you let me come into contact with the Patterned Xuan Gong?"

Yan Buji thought for a long while, got up and opened the door.

"Daoist Yan!"

"Congratulations, Daoist Yan, on exiting the sect today," Yang Long said with a smile.

Yan Buji looked at them, smiled, and said, "Please come in."

"Since you have emerged, you must have some insight into the Golden Core Dao; if you don't mind, could we discuss it?" Yang Long said with a smile.

"Certainly, Daoist Wang, Daoist Yang, please sit."

Yan Buji invited the two inside, then sat on the ground and began the conversation.
