Chapter 277 Promotion to Golden Core

However, before dealing with all this, there is a more important thing - to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

His wizard level has long been stabilized at level two, but his cultivator cultivation level has been stuck at the great perfection of the foundation-building stage for a long time.

Once upon a time, Benjamin thought that this bottleneck was caused by the psychological trauma caused by the deaths of his good friends Amy and Victor on the battlefield.

But thinking about it carefully, his emotions at that time were not that extreme, not as painful as sadness, not as passionate as anger. There was just a layer of fog in his heart, a very plain fog.

The fog was not heavy, but it was enough to block out the sun.

Now Benjamin has understood that the name of that layer of fog is: loneliness.

As a time traveler, there is always a vague barrier between him and this world in the depths of his soul.

The appearance of Amy and Victor was like opening two windows on this barrier, allowing him to glimpse and feel a bit of the warmth of this world.

Their sudden departure caused the two windows to slam shut, leaving behind the cold mist called loneliness.

Until... he came face to face with Jack's face twisted with jealousy.

That ugliness, that unconcealed, fiery emotion stemming from his own incompetence and resentment towards the talents of others, was like a strong light that penetrated the fog in Benjamin's heart.

He suddenly realized that no matter whether they were rational or indifferent, the wizards and even all living beings in this world were living people with emotions and desires under their masks.

They cry, laugh, get jealous, get angry, act out of desire, and retreat out of fear.

This kind of cognition, this strong touch of the "reality" of the world, actually made his wandering heart, a stranger in a foreign land, truly begin to sink into the soil of this world.

At that moment, what he felt was not disgust, but an indescribable sense of relief, almost like "going home".

Once the knot in your heart is removed, the bottleneck will disappear.

At that time, he clearly felt that the barrier from foundation building to golden elixir had become as thin as a cicada's wing.

The reason why he forcibly suppressed it during the plane war and did not choose to break through was naturally due to his deep fear of Dionysius Spencer, a seventh-level wizard of the Destiny System.

Under the watchful eyes of a powerful being who could see into the trajectory of fate, a breakthrough in cultivation involving the essence of the soul and the leap of energy levels was achieved?

Benjamin felt that he was not that brave.

Now, back to the purgatory sulfur plane which is completely under his control, he has nothing to worry about.

To ensure that everything goes well, he did not rush into anything.

First, he spent more than ten years sinking into the depths of his consciousness to connect to the "Dao Shuge", reading, comparing, and studying tens of thousands of elixir formulas and jade slips about advancing to the Golden Elixir Realm.

Combining the principles of pharmacy and alchemy techniques from the wizarding world, he eliminated the dross and retained the essence, repeatedly deduced, and finally successfully refined a promotion potion that perfectly suited his own situation.

After doing all this, Benjamin's originally restless mood calmed down a lot.

Looking at the potion in his hand that was emitting brilliant golden light, Jieming suddenly realized: "It seems that the time for promotion has come!"

He activated the plane defense system that had been built in the infrastructure for the previous plane transformation, completely closing off all passages between the Purgatory Sulfur Plane and the outside world, turning this place into an absolutely independent retreat.

Everything is ready.

Jieming slowly sat down cross-legged in the quiet room, with his five hearts facing the sky.

The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. The restless energy of the outside sulfur plane was isolated by layers of magic arrays, leaving only absolute silence.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes becoming extremely clear and firm.

"Let's get started."

His mind sank into his dantian, pulling the foundation-building true essence that had already been filled to the extreme, and began to attack the invisible golden elixir barrier.

Jieming's mind was deep and concentrated, his consciousness was completely inward, focused on his lower dantian.

There, the liquid foundation-building true essence that was originally rotating slowly like a cyclone has now been compressed to the extreme.

A brilliant golden light in the center is gestating, emitting magnificent vitality and indescribable mysterious Taoist rhyme.

What he has accumulated over the years is really too rich. First of all, he has practiced hard for more than two hundred years, and various high-level resources have never been interrupted.

After that, he spent more than eighty years fighting across two dimensions, wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, and gaining a deep understanding of his own path, which had already made his foundation extremely solid.

At this moment, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was a natural process, with almost no obstacles felt.

The invisible barrier that once blocked his progress became as thin as morning dew after his heart knot was untied.

Under the impact of the pure and vast true energy, it shattered and melted silently.

Buzz...

A soft sound that only the soul can perceive sounded from deep in the dantian.

In an instant, the golden light in the center of the dantian suddenly burst out!

Like the first ray of light in the universe, it instantly illuminates the meridians and mountains and rivers in the body.

All the liquid true essences converged, compressed, and condensed towards that golden light like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!

There were no earth-shaking visions, only earth-shaking changes in the energy level of the body.

At the moment when the golden elixir condensed, the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit seemed to have found a common hub and began to blend and resonate spontaneously, producing an indescribable qualitative change.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a moment, or maybe eternity.

When Jieming's consciousness could clearly "see" Dantian again, a pill the size of a longan, round and flawless, with a warm golden light flowing all over the body but containing infinite power, was quietly floating in the center of Dantian and slowly rotating.

Every rotation naturally absorbs and releases the spiritual power around the body, creating a mysterious resonance with the heaven and earth.

Golden elixir, done!

He didn't even use the bottle of carefully prepared promotion potion next to him. Relying solely on his own accumulation, he successfully crossed the chasm that countless monks dreamed of.

However, just as the golden elixir stabilized, before Benjamin could carefully experience the mystery, an extremely exaggerated, almost brutal suction force suddenly came from the lower dantian where the golden elixir was located!

This suction force was not directed at the outside world, but was madly extracting the spiritual power that had just been transformed in his body and was not yet full, as well as the essence contained in his flesh and blood.

Jieming was not surprised but delighted, and understood in his heart: "It seems that what I thought was right. The next stage of "Inner Circulation" has begun!"

The core of the "Inner Circulation" method he practiced is the method of opening up the cave.

When he was promoted to the foundation-building stage, this method opened up an initial internal space in his body.

Now that the golden elixir has been condensed, the energy level and the essence of life have leaped, and the space inside the body will naturally evolve and expand accordingly!

Jieming had anticipated this and had prepared a response plan.
