Chapter 126: Ten Years of Cultivation, the Wan Mie Gun
Fortunately, the artifact spirit was not unreasonable. Although Qin Bei could no longer use the teleportation jade slip, he had returned from the seventh floor to the first floor. Clearly, this was the last chance granted to him by the artifact spirit.
…
“Isn’t this a bit too difficult? One chance? It’s impossible for him, a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, to deal with ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.”
Emperor Xia frowned as he observed the returning artifact spirit.
“Whether he can get through it or not, won’t we find out if we keep watching? This kid is hiding quite a bit; do you really think this is all he can do?”
The artifact spirit smiled and shook its head.
“What do you mean? What powerful trump cards can he possibly hide in front of me?”
Emperor Xia asked in confusion.
“I don’t know; I just feel like he’s always been very confident. Even though he failed to break through the seventh layer repeatedly, he faced no difficulties at all on the fifth layer. So, I believe he’s hiding something.”
The artifact spirit speculated.
“Just a feeling???!! If the outcome is different in the end, it’s going to be tough to handle.”
Emperor Xia shook his head helplessly.
But he couldn’t do anything with the artifact spirit. A soul that had existed for countless ages could still maintain the playful mentality of a teenager. That’s not something that can be changed just by suppressing one’s identity.
……
Back on the first floor, Qin Bei did not rush to break through the first layer. Instead, he interacted with a few fellow cultivators at the same realm, trying to figure out a way to pass the level.
Suddenly, a cold light appeared, moving with incredible speed, leaving Qin Bei unable to react.
“This is the Wan Mie Gun! Once, the ancestor Jiemie created the Jiemie Gun Technique using this spear. Since you’ve learned his magical powers and earned a divine artifact as a reward, this top-level divine spear is yours. Remember! You must surpass that old coot, Jiemie! When the opportunity arises, I’ll take you to challenge him and retrieve all those spears he keeps to nurture the weapon spirits—they’ll become my harem, ahahahaha~~”
The laughter of the artifact spirit resounded from the darkness as the Wan Mie Gun hovered in front of Qin Bei.
Qin Bei found the initial words quite serious, and he felt excited; it was truly his first time using a weapon of this caliber.
But after hearing what followed…
Sure enough, the saying that the older you are, the less serious you become was spot on.
In the sky, Emperor Xia watched the artifact spirit beside him with his mouth twitching.
So this is why the artifact spirit values Qin Bei?
It’s absurd!
…….
Blood was dripped to recognize the master, a universally accepted practice in the cultivation world, and Qin Bei did it immediately.
As he gained recognition from the Wan Mie Gun, Qin Bei grasped it with one hand.
“weng~~~~”
Upon first contact, the Wan Mie Gun emitted a sound like a gunshot.
“Though it hasn’t produced a weapon spirit, it does possess some spirituality.”
Qin Bei nodded in agreement.
Indeed, a top-tier divine artifact was worthy of its status. If he sold such a weapon, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for several months.
Wait? Why was he thinking about selling it?
Such a great item is better used by himself…
“zeng~~~~”
Qin Bei casually thrust the spear, taking down four demon cultivators rushing at him with that one casual shot…
He deliberately left one alive, after all, to avoid rushing to the second layer immediately.
“Good gun!”
After using it, Qin Bei praised the spear as usual.
Then… he simply stowed it into his Cosmos Bag.
This left the artifact spirit and Emperor Xia, who were watching from above, utterly baffled.
He just called it a good gun, yet the next second, he puts it away?
How disrespectful! At least use it a bit longer…
They had no idea what Qin Bei was thinking.
Qin Bei had just figured it out.
If he wanted to break through the seventh layer of the Demon Suppression Tower, it wouldn’t be feasible to do so directly, even with the aid of this top-grade Wan Mie Gun.
No matter how powerful the weapon was, the spiritual energy within him was only enough for a brief battle, and the first shot of the Jiemie Gun Technique could only be used once.
Thus, to pass the seventh layer, the only option was to increase the spiritual energy in his body—by at least three times—to have a chance at success.
At this point, learning a high-level technique was definitely not an option, and with the “Void Sutra” waiting for him, Qin Bei did not want to waste his krypton gold points on other techniques.
There was only one way: breakthrough!
As long as he broke through to the Golden Core realm, Qin Bei would have the confidence to pass the seventh layer, provided the artifact spirit didn’t cause trouble. Once he broke through to the Golden Core realm, the difficulty of the seventh layer would change again.
Qin Bei just hoped that the artifact spirit wasn’t truly childish and wouldn’t keep coming up with different ideas every now and then.
….
“System, exchange for ten years of cultivation!”
“Exchange!”
Qin Bei believed that by exchanging for ten years of cultivation at once, he would surely break through to the Golden Core realm.
For Qin Bei, breaking through was merely a matter of wanting or not wanting, as long as he had krypton gold points.
However, Qin Bei desired not just a simple breakthrough to the Golden Core realm, but to reach a level that others could not attain.
Nine Revolutions Golden Core!
This isn’t a pill, but refers to the potential of the Golden Core when a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core realm.
Most cultivators consider it a breakthrough after gathering the Golden Core.
But that would only count as a First Turn Golden Core.
The stored spiritual energy would be more than double that of a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, already sufficient for a cultivator to fly.
Upon surpassing the Fifth Turn Golden Core, the strength of spiritual energy would change.
Those who could fight across boundaries in the Golden Core realm are geniuses whose Golden Core has reached the Fifth Turn; their potential is astonishing.
As for the Nine Revolutions Golden Core that Qin Bei aimed for, no one knew how many times the spiritual energy storage would expand, for no one could know that.
But one thing everyone agreed on was that no one could achieve the level of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core!
Because the formation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core is completely different from the Heavenly Dao’s Foundation Building.
