Chapter 128: Revealing the Potential to Surpass Everything
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
Qin Bei was undisturbed by the cultivators around him. In less than an hour, he successfully gathered his elixir.
This was the most crucial step for ordinary cultivators to advance to the Golden Core Realm. For others, it was incredibly challenging, but for Qin Bei, it felt like a game. While taunting the demon cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm beside him, he successfully advanced to the Golden Core Realm.
This success immediately caught the attention of the weapon spirit and Emperor Xia above.
The weapon spirit smiled at Emperor Xia and said, “Done! But he still has so much spiritual energy within him; he’s another one who refuses to be ordinary.”
Emperor Xia replied casually, “To be honest, he has achieved physical foundation establishment, something I couldn’t accomplish at the start. So, I’m genuinely curious about how far he can go this time.”
The weapon spirit confidently dropped a piece and said, “Eight turns! Based on my understanding of this kid, if he can’t break through to the eighth turn of the Golden Core, he will definitely not choose to advance.”
“Eighth turn of the Golden Core?”
Even Emperor Xia looked a little surprised.
“Why do you say that? You’ve lived so long; you should know better than I do what the Eighth Transformation Golden Dan represents. It has only appeared five times in the Cangzhou Continent so far.”
The weapon spirit scoffed.
“Why? Just because this kid approaches the fifth layer as if he’s on a leisurely stroll, I can guarantee he’s at least capable of this level of breakthrough! After all, you were trapped in the fifth layer for quite a while, yet you managed the Eighth Transformation Golden Dan. Why can’t he?”
Emperor Xia: ….
This is… sigh
It’s rather exasperating, comparing himself, who has already become a saint, with Qin Bei…
The weapon spirit seemed to see Emperor Xia’s dissatisfaction, so it said, “What’s wrong? Not convinced? Why don’t you suppress your cultivation and give the fifth layer another try?”
“I… I have no interest in that.”
“Tsk~”
….
While the two were chatting, Qin Bei had already killed the cultivators on the first floor and successfully reached the second level of the Demon Suppression Tower.
The Golden Core in his body was also constantly undergoing a baptism, a process in which Qin Bei didn’t need to do anything.
Because after gathering the Dan, everything flows naturally; as long as he accumulates enough during the Tempering Body Realm, Qi Training Realm, and Foundation Building Realm, it will all come together in the end.
Qin Bei firmly believed that no one in the cultivation world from ancient times to the present had surpassed him in the accumulation of these three realms.
After all, he was the only one whose physical strength had exceeded a million in the Tempering Body Realm.
Not only that, he was also the only one who had successfully established his foundation physically.
His combat power at the same realm was unparalleled throughout history.
So, what others could achieve, Qin Bei was confident he could also achieve, and quite easily!
What others couldn’t accomplish, he also could, because he was stronger!
When Qin Bei passed through the second level of the Demon Suppression Tower, the Golden Core had completed the first two turns.
The Golden Core had obviously grown larger. More importantly, there were now two distinct lines on the surface of the Golden Core, complex yet orderly, without a hint of chaos.
The color had also changed to some extent, though not too noticeably at the moment.
Third level, fourth turn completed!
Fourth level, fifth turn completed!
This time, the color change was quite apparent, shifting from a light golden hue to a golden yellow, which was undeniably a more advanced shade at first glance.
Of course, this type of Golden Core wasn’t just higher-level in appearance.
The purity of the spiritual energy contained was also higher than that of other cultivators.
Two people with the same cultivation level, delivering the same attack.
A cultivator with a fifth turn Golden Core can crush one with a fourth turn Golden Core.
This is why the cultivation world values the quality of Golden Cores so highly.
It not only represents the future potential of a cultivator but also signifies that cultivator’s current combat ability.
The Golden Core Realm had truly come into the limelight of the cultivation world.
Those powerful in this realm attracted more attention than those in the Qi Training or Foundation Building realms.
….
“This kid makes breakthroughs seem so easy; unlike certain folks who fought tooth and nail just to break through to Golden Core,” the weapon spirit remarked without naming names, though Emperor Xia’s face had already turned a shade of thundercloud.
“I only faced difficulties at the seventh turn! He’s merely at the fifth turn, and I cleared it easily back then.”
There are reasons Emperor Xia avoids playing chess in the Demon Suppression Tower with the weapon spirit.
The weapon spirit always brags about its long existence and great contributions to Great Xia, bringing up Emperor Xia’s past to poke fun at him.
The worst part is Emperor Xia has no way to refute it, which is infuriating.
“Just keep watching; just don’t get mad because he passed easily.”
The weapon spirit said with a chuckle.
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes at the weapon spirit.
Since the weapon spirit wanted to stir the pot, he wasn’t afraid either, so he smiled back and said, “If my own son is capable of surpassing me, I would be thrilled beyond measure! Why would I be angry? Unlike certain individuals who’ve lived long but have no descendants. Alas~ tsk~”
Weapon Spirit: (╯｀□′)╯~ ╧╧
The weapon spirit despises being teased about this matter.
“Let’s skip the game then!”
With that, the weapon spirit waved, causing the chessboard to vanish.
“Hmph! Do you think I’m a child? Trying to cheat because you lost?”
Saying that, Emperor Xia also waved his hand, and the disappeared chessboard reappeared, the pieces intact.
Weapon Spirit:….
The two exchanged stares.
If people outside knew that the most famous duo in Great Xia was acting like children, they would probably be shocked beyond belief.
Their faith in their hearts might even shatter.
After all, in the hearts of the Great Xia citizens, the weapon spirit is an invincible national guardian artifact.
And Emperor Xia is a man of his word, safeguarding all of Great Xia single-handedly.
With two such formidable figures, how could they act helpless like children?
Absolutely impossible…
….
While Emperor Xia and the weapon spirit exchanged glances.
Qin Bei had already exited the fifth level of the Demon Suppression Tower.
At this point, he had completed the sixth transformation of the Golden Core, with six lines now appearing on it.
The lines remained complex and non-intersecting, giving it an air of profoundness and incomprehensibility.
By the sixth level, Qin Bei could now effortlessly navigate against the Yuan Ying realm cultivators whom he had previously faced with all his strength.
The Yuan Ying cultivators were completely outmatched.
As time stretched on, the Golden Core within Qin Bei finished its seventh transformation.
From start to finish, Qin Bei was immensely relaxed.
Emperor Xia was left absolutely stunned.
Breaking through the Golden Core Realm felt natural, which was the case before reaching the fifth transformation.
After reaching beyond five transformations, those lacking strength would find it increasingly difficult to break through to a higher Golden Core.
For instance, he himself faced difficult times at the seventh transformation.
And someone like Qin Bei, who had always been relaxed and comfortable, was a rarity that only Emperor Xia knew of.
What this meant was abundantly clear to Emperor Xia.
Qin Bei possessed immense potential, far surpassing himself and any genius he had encountered before!
He certainly hadn’t been mistaken.
Qin Bei had personality and passion, and although he was adept at creating chaos,
he had the capability to back it up!
His cultivation potential surpassed everyone else!
