One hour later.
The thunderstorm over Turtle Mountain slowly dissipated.
Qin Shou's figure floated in mid-air, and a screen of light flashed in his mind.
[Qin Beast, congratulations! You have successfully transcended the tribulation and are about to complete your core. You have the following 5 options for forming your core:]
[I. Ordinary Golden Core. Advantages: With your talent, your cultivation level will improve rapidly; Disadvantages: Limited combat strength within the same territory.]
[II. Radiant Golden Light, one of the invincible Golden Cores. By activating magical artifacts and treasures through this invincible Golden Core, one can increase their killing power several times over, becoming unmatched in combat within their own territory and capable of killing across realms. Disadvantage: Cultivation progresses very slowly, requiring five times the resources and time of an ordinary Golden Core.]
[Third, a purple-glowing, invincible golden elixir. Upon completion, purple energy floods the body, transforming the individual and increasing the chances of enlightenment when cultivating supernatural powers and spells. Disadvantage: Slow progress in cultivation; requires five times the resources and time of an ordinary golden elixir.]
[Fourth, the Colorless and Myriad-fold, one of the invincible golden pills, and also the most magical and profound kind. Once formed, it is colorless and imperceptible except through thought. Cultivating this pill not only allows one to manifest countless forms and display myriad illusions, but also greatly enhances the power of talismans and spells. Disadvantage: Cultivation is slow, requiring five times the resources and time of an ordinary golden pill.]
Fifth, the Chaos Golden Core: Simultaneously forming three invincible golden cores within one's body and fusing them together, thus giving birth to the unique "Chaos Golden Core" of all time. The Chaos Golden Core can not only generate all kinds of magic in the world, but also contains all the understanding and transformations of the Great Dao in this world. When you become an immortal in the future, this core can gradually evolve into a world, providing you with a continuous source of primordial power.
Disadvantages: Cultivation progress is extremely slow, and the resources required are exceptionally vast, dozens of times that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
"The Chaos Golden Core!"
Qin Shou revealed a thoughtful expression.
There has been a saying since ancient times: "The heavens have thirty-three layers, and the cinnabar has three colors."
These three invincible golden pills encompass almost all the Taoist methods in the world and the paths one can take in the future.
As for the Chaos Golden Pill, which I've never even heard of, it's naturally even stronger!
Slow progress in cultivation level?
It's okay, I have plenty of time and patience.
The required resources are enormous?
Ha, do you know how many digits are in my bank account?
"A real man cultivates the strongest path."
"Tongzi, get it done!"
"I will cultivate the three elixir cores simultaneously, fuse the primordial golden elixir, and become the greatest true man of all time."
The Qin beast proudly raised its head, gazing at the vast clouds, filled with boundless pride.
Boom!
The next moment, various strange phenomena appeared in the void.
A golden lotus blooms from the void, its golden light illuminating the world;
Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, stretching across the vast sky for ninety thousand miles;
Colorless and myriad, reflecting the clear blue sky and bright sun, like a mirage, a wondrous spectacle of countless transformations...
Then these myriad strange phenomena surged into the Qin Beast's body.
Half an hour later.
A gleaming golden pill, the size of an infant's fist, floated above the Qin Beast's head.
The elixir, in its thirty-three colors, bursts forth with primordial chaos, transforming in countless ways.
At the same time, many wondrous scenes evolved within the elixir:
The distant chanting of ancient Buddhas drifted by; the image of a female Taoist cultivator ascending to immortality appeared; a supreme divine dynasty sat atop the clouds; dragons and phoenixes brought auspiciousness; gods and demons created the heavens...
"This is the Chaos Golden Core!"
Qin Shou looked at the glittering golden pill floating in front of him and felt the magnificent and strange scene inside, and was amazed.
[Qin Beast, congratulations on successfully transcending your tribulation and forming your Golden Core. You are rewarded with a top-grade magic weapon.]
[Qiankun Belt: A top-grade magic treasure with an internal storage space for storing items.]
"The Universe Belt!"
"I have my own system space, so it seems like I don't need it."
Qin Shou checked his cultivation level.
Having absorbed the power of the lightning tribulation, Qin Beast's lightning spiritual root once again surpassed other spiritual roots, reaching the third level of the Golden Core realm.
"Hehe, test my strength!"
Qin Shou chuckled, then immediately summoned the Chaos Golden Pill and blasted it towards a small hill in the far distance.
Boom!
In an instant, the mountains and rivers trembled, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the entire mountain was leveled by this attack, a terrifying sight.
"This is the power of cultivators!"
Qin Shou was shocked, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Such power is enough to withstand nuclear weapons from a previous life, right?! ? ?
Now that I have formed the Chaos Golden Core, my killing power is dozens of times greater than that of others in the same realm. I just don't know if I can rival those Nascent Soul old monsters.
It's probably difficult!
However, Qin Shou was not discouraged. Once he cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, he would kill Nascent Soul cultivators as easily as slaughtering dogs!
"Hahaha, who else? Who the hell is still here?"
Qin Shou laughed heartily.
Changsheng tilted his head, it was the first time he had ever seen his master so...happy!
[Qin Beast, congratulations on reaching the Golden Core Realm, becoming a minor expert in cultivation, and forming the only Chaos Golden Core in all time. You are awarded a "Super Golden Core Gift Pack". Would you like to open it?]
Holy crap! A huge gift package! This stuff is amazing!
Just as Qin Shou was about to open the gift package.
A clear, girlish voice suddenly came from afar.
"Hello, is there an old man named Qin Shou living on this mountain?"
"An old man???"
Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, his lips twitching as he sized up the girl in front of him.
You don't know until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.
The girl in front of me looks so familiar...
Immediately, a screen of light appeared before Qin Beast's eyes:
Wen Qing, 13 years old, with a superior water spiritual root and at the third level of Qi Refining, is a gentle daughter who has traveled millions of miles from Lingzhou to pay respects to her master and senior uncle whom she has never met, in order to fulfill her mother's dying wish and also to see if her junior brother is still alive...
"Senior Sister's...daughter?"
Qin Shou was stunned for a moment.
His gaze was vacant.
The image of that heavy snowfall from my past life seemed to reappear before my eyes... The snow was heavy, and that red-clad figure in the snow was gone forever...
Eighty years!
It's been over eighty years!
Qin Shou originally thought he had long forgotten the name "Gentle"...
only,
today,
When this long-lost name reappeared...
A monstrous wave seemed to surge within Qin Shou's heart, refusing to subside for a long time.
"You are... Senior Sister's daughter!!!"
Qin Shou tremblingly reached out his hands, wanting to touch the girl's cheeks, but the girl skillfully dodged him.
"Who are you?"
Wen Qing looked wary.
"I am Qin Shou, your mother's junior brother, and your junior uncle."
Qin Shou's eyes were red.
"Senior Uncle! You're the Junior Senior Uncle!"
Her gentle face showed surprise.
"But Mother said that Junior Uncle has no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate. Even if he were alive now, he would be an old man over a hundred years old."
"Hahaha, your grand-uncle here lives as long as the heavens and remains forever young, how could I be like that withered and decaying tree?"
Qin Shou laughed heartily, ignoring Wen Qing's struggles, and began to knead her little cheeks.
"You're so beautiful, just like your mother when she was young."
Qin Shou grew increasingly fond of the little girl, even though her face was dirty, even though she looked somewhat thin, even though... she clearly had endured a great deal of hardship to get here...
"Little girl, you've come all the way from Lingzhou, you must have suffered a lot along the way."
There was affection in Qin Shou's eyes.
Looking at the warmth before him, he kept recalling the scene from his past life where his senior sister held him in the palm of her hand and constantly made him laugh.
My gentle senior sister, she never came back after all...
"Are you... really my junior master?"
The little girl still seemed a bit incredulous.
Because the person in front of me is so young, and... very good-looking.
My mother said that only those at the Golden Core stage can maintain their youthful appearance forever. Could it be that... this senior uncle is a Golden Core stage cultivator?
Haha, you still don't believe me?
"Did your mother ever tell you that your uncle used to wet the bed a lot when he was little, and she spanked him several times for it?"
"Your mother's braised pork is absolutely divine..."
Qin Shou recounted several stories about himself and his gentle senior sister.
Wow! Senior Uncle! You really are my little Senior Uncle!!
"Waaah~, Junior Uncle, I've finally found you!"
Wen Qing could no longer hold back and burst into tears in Qin Shou's arms.
The image is like someone happily holding a coin given by their mother, buying a skewer of their favorite candied hawthorns from the street, only to be stopped by a burly man with shaved feet before they even have a chance to lick it, and then threatened, coerced, and intimidated... snatching the candied hawthorns, licking them again and again in front of the man, and finally swallowing them whole, leaving only a bare bamboo skewer for themselves...
In conclusion: They are as pitiful as can be!
