Lu Yang continued flipping through the pages. The methods his senior brothers and sisters used to form their Golden Cores were quite unconventional, showing no signs of the “Golden Core without regrets” mindset.
“Or maybe, the senior brothers and sisters believe that if they formed their Golden Cores in a conventional way, they would regret it?” Lu Yang roughly guessed their thought process.
This also aligned with the usual approach of the Dao Seeking Sect.
Lu Yang himself was firmly against this kind of thinking. He believed that the future of the Dao Seeking Sect required a determined individual like him to lead, correct its improper practices, and guide it on a proper path!
The methods his senior brothers and sisters used to form their Golden Cores were varied.
For example, one senior brother read in ancient texts that many ancient powerful beings had unusual natural features like double pupils, seven-colored eyebrows, or a third eye. Although he was already born and couldn’t possess innate divine traits, he believed that diligence could make up for lack of talent. He placed his Golden Core in the center of his forehead, imitating a third eye, which made him appear quite divine, especially when his Golden Core emitted light, leaving others in awe.
“The so-called innate anomalies, ha, it’s all nonsense. They were added later on. The competition among geniuses back then was so fierce that without some unique traits and unusual legends, they couldn’t stand out.” Everlasting Fairy sneered at this false propaganda.
“But there were real innate anomalies, like when a child born to two humans grew wings, causing a sensation. Later, it was discovered that the child’s father was not human but from the feathered race, which caused an even bigger sensation.”
“Fairy, what was your most famous trait back then?”
“Beauty, of course.”
“I’m not boasting, but none of the saints or demonesses back then were as beautiful as I was! If there had been a ranking of the top ten beauties of ancient times, I would have been first!”
Lu Yang took her words as truth.
Lu Yang also read about a senior brother who, after observing the celestial phenomena for a long time, realized that none of the stars in the sky were as powerful as the sun. So, he formed a Solar Core that harnessed solar energy for combat. During the day, his Golden Core was extremely powerful, but at night, it became weak.
Fortunately, the Dao Seeking Sect had various techniques, including one that could store solar energy, which made up for this senior brother’s shortcoming.
Lu Yang went through the records of his senior brothers and sisters, finding nothing particularly useful for himself.
However, there were some gains.
Lu Yang understood the specific process of forming a Golden Core. Apart from the basic requirement of reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, one needed to have an insight. Some pursued this insight actively, like Senior Brother Dai Bufan who pursued water, and Senior Brother Ji Hongwen who pursued bamboo. Others let it happen naturally, like Senior Sister Zhou Lulu.
There was no better or worse method between these two; it was all a matter of choice.
As of now, Lu Yang hadn’t decided which method to choose for forming his Golden Core.
“This one should be the methods of forming Golden Cores from my master’s generation.”
Lu Yang opened the first page, where four large characters by the Daoist Non-Speaker were displayed. It contained his master’s insights upon successfully forming a Golden Core.
“Haha, I’ve cultivated a top-grade Sword Core. Future generations don’t need to envy me. Of course, if you do envy me, there’s nothing I can do. After all, it’s the result of my diligent cultivation. Cultivation is a serious matter that allows no sloppiness. It requires one to be down-to-earth, progressing step by step.”
“However, insights are something that can’t be learned from others. Everyone knows about my talent in the way of the sword. I could easily learn the sword techniques of my predecessors. You see, my senior brothers worked so hard to form their Golden Cores, but I found it wasn’t that difficult.”
“Ah, my senior brothers are just not talented enough.”
The following comments by the eight elders praised the Daoist Non-Speaker: “Step by step, what Old Ninth says is reasonable.”
Lu Yang turned the page and saw a picture of the Daoist Non-Speaker accidentally falling, covered in footprints. Lu Yang counted eight footprints.
“Sword Core…”
A Sword Core was unique to those with sword roots. If Lu Yang wanted, forming a Sword Core wouldn’t be difficult. It might even be a natural process for him, just like the Daoist Non-Speaker, achieving enlightenment in his dreams.
“Should I form a Sword Core?”
Lu Yang shook his head. He had just reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and had time. There was no need to rush his choice; he could take it slow.
“Fairy, do you have any recommendations, other than the Harem Core?”
“Hehe, of course, I do! My Invincible Core is the second strongest Golden Core in the world.”
“How do you form it?” Lu Yang had never heard of this Golden Core before. The name was so straightforward.
“By continuously fighting other cultivators, not fearing challenges, and winning a hundred battles. Develop an invincible aura that says ‘none can match me.’ Use this aura to guide your spiritual power, forming the Golden Core!” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“This is my unique Golden Core. I named it the Invincible Core.”
“I don’t tell just anyone how to form this Golden Core! See the benefits of being with me?” Everlasting Fairy said proudly, expecting admiration from Lu Yang.
“Just to be sure, when you say winning a hundred battles, do you mean fighting people of the same level or one level lower?”
“Of course, one level lower!”
Everlasting Fairy’s Golden Core was indeed vicious, so Lu Yang decided to take her words with a grain of salt.
Lu Yang spent three whole days in the scripture library, making his eyes dry and his mind cloudy. Fortunately, Eldest Senior Sister provided eye drops. After using two drops, his eyes and mind felt much better.
“Forming a Golden Core is really something that requires careful consideration.” Lu Yang rubbed his temples painfully. He had read so many methods of forming a Golden Core that he was unsure which one to choose.
“Let’s go out for a walk.”
Lu Yang felt stiff all over.
He greeted Zhou Lulu, who was guarding the door, and left the scripture library.
Facing the sun, Lu Yang stretched comfortably at the library’s entrance, twisting his body until the stiffness eased.
“Senior Brother Lu, there you are. Finally, I found you.” A slightly excited voice sounded in his ear.
“Oh, it’s Haoran.”
It was Li Haoran, whom he had met a few days ago.
“See, I told you he’d be here.” Behind Li Haoran was a lazy Meng Jingzhou.
“What’s up?”
Li Haoran looked a bit embarrassed, finding the matter awkward to bring up but knowing he had to: “Yesterday, my parents sent a letter saying my fiancée has returned. They want me to meet her. I’ve never met my fiancée before, and I’m a bit nervous, so I thought I’d find someone to go with me.”
“I originally wanted to find you, Senior Brother Meng, or Senior Brother Barbarian. But Senior Brother Barbarian is busy studying spells and can’t get away. I only found Senior Brother Meng.”
“Senior Brother Lu, do you have time?”
Lu Yang thought for a moment. He had nothing urgent to do and accompanying Li Haoran home wouldn’t hurt. A change of environment might even give him some inspiration for forming his Golden Core.
“Sure, when do we leave?”
“Is tomorrow morning okay?”
“Sure.”
