A few months later, Luo Yunyan took Ponyo down the mountain to comprehend the Golden Core Dao.
Ponyo's talent is neither exceptional nor poor, but above average. She has resources, a renowned teacher, and decent comprehension. Her path to Core Formation will be somewhat bumpy, but not too difficult.
These days, Qin Shou often divines the secrets of heaven, always sensing that something big is about to happen. Therefore, he often personally supervises Yi Cheng's cultivation, and even uses his trump card: whenever Yi Cheng advances to a higher realm, he rewards her with a hundred bags of cookies.
One hundred bags! A full one hundred bags!
As a result, Yi Cheng slept an hour less every day.
The Tribulation Realm is said to be a world apart from each tribulation. It took Qin Shou more than two hundred years to reach the fifth level of the Tribulation Realm. However, recently many ninth-grade spiritual herbs have matured, and Qin Shou has also begun to refine Tribulation Spirit Pills that can assist in the cultivation of this realm.
In addition, there was Da Bao. Before it had even finished absorbing the first Chaos Crystal, Qin Beast gave it another Chaos Crystal and secretly told it that if it could advance to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, it would reward it with 500 bags of cookies.
My goodness! When Da Bao heard this earth-shattering news that was enough to shock its panda life, it happily climbed to the top of the bamboo, stuck out its big butt and shook itself wildly from side to side. Then it hugged the Chaos Crystal and hid in its den, sucking hard and hard.
Time passed slowly...
Eleven years later, Luo Yunyan sent word that Ponyo had successfully transcended her tribulation and had entered the Golden Core realm.
At fifty-seven years old, he was at the Golden Core stage. He wasn't a genius, but he was still quite outstanding.
September of the following year.
The iron-eating beast in the bamboo forest successfully passed its tribulation.
On that day, the chaos was vast, and the world seemed to have just been created. All living beings on the Tianxuan Continent saw the ferocious beast's physical body, which was tens of thousands of feet tall.
[Congratulations! Your pet, Da Bao, has successfully transcended its tribulation and advanced to the Tribulation Realm. You are rewarded with a "Pet Gift Pack." Would you like to open it?]
[Immortal Golden Dragon Pattern Staff: A first-grade immortal weapon containing twelve dragon patterns. Each time a dragon pattern is activated, its power increases by one hundred million jin.]
[Chaos Crystal *30: Chaos Crystals contain immense chaotic spiritual power....]
[A pet snack gift pack * 20 packs...]
"Wow... I even got a celestial artifact from the gift pack!"
Qin Shou was somewhat surprised, originally thinking that he could only draw out immortal artifacts when his disciples and spirit pets reached the immortal realm.
"Hmm, 20 snack gift packs, plus one pack of 1,000 bags of wonton cookies, totaling 20,000 bags. Thinking about it that way, giving Da Bao 500 bags of cookies wouldn't be a problem."
Qin Shou nodded to himself. He had originally wanted to cheat, because he really didn't have much left. Normally, he would have to divide a bag into several portions to eat.
Now things are great, we're rich.
As long as Da Bao is encouraged to practice diligently, his little cookies will never stop coming.
"Dabao, here are your 500 bags of cookies!"
Qin Shou waved.
"Hmph hmph hmph! Hmph hmph hmph! Hmph hmph hmph hmph—!!!"
Looking at the pile of cookies in the yard, Da Bao was so excited he didn't know what to do. His little eyes widened, and then he rushed into Qin Shou's arms like a bear, shaking his big bottom and rubbing his little head against him.
"So, Da Bao, did I keep my word?"
"Hmph hmph." A promise is a promise.
"Alright, hurry up and hide the cookies. Little Fatty and the others will be back from hunting soon."
"Hmph!!"
Upon hearing this, Da Bao's little eyes immediately darted nervously left and right. Then, he carried the biscuits, bag after bag, back to his nest.
"???" Qin Shou's lips twitched as he looked at this blockhead.
"Hey! Little cookies! Da Bao's eating them all by himself!!!"
As luck would have it, halfway through Da Bao's delivery, Yi Cheng returned carrying a large wild boar. Upon seeing the yard full of cookies, she immediately started arguing with Da Bao.
"Hmph—squeak!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Da Bao gave half of the kingdom to Yi Cheng.
That day, Yi Cheng didn't eat any staple food. Instead, she and Da Bao climbed up to the top of the bamboo grove and indulged in a day of cookies.
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit waited with their little hands outstretched below, but after waiting for a long time, not a single cookie fell down.
The two then went to the funeral parlor, where one ate grapes and the other gnawed on a radish.
Seeing this, Qin Shou tempted Little Fatty, saying that her older sister had already entered the Void Realm and become a Great Demon Emperor, while she herself could no longer surpass her sister in cultivation. He promised that if she worked hard to cultivate and broke through to the Void Realm as soon as possible, he would reward her with a hundred bags of cookies.
Upon hearing this, Little Fatty kept agreeing verbally, but his body remained uncooperative, sleeping and eating as usual every day.
Qin Shou was speechless. This girl's bloodline was clearly much stronger than her sister's, but she was lazy and playful, which led to Da Mei overtaking her.
Two years later.
Xiao Xuan has arrived.
Shedding his favorite bright red dress from his youth, he now dons a black robe embroidered with gold dragons. Amidst the ups and downs of life and the struggles of geniuses, his centuries-long reign as emperor has imbued every gesture with an innate imperial aura.
His eyebrows and eyes were cold and aloof, his pupils were deep and deep, and he had an extraordinary and handsome appearance.
"Master, I have found the whereabouts of the Flower of Rebirth."
Xiao Xuan got straight to the point as soon as he arrived.
Qin Shou looked at his disciple, who stood tall and composed. His black and gold dragon robe was still stained with fresh blood, suggesting that he had just been through a great battle and hadn't had time to change his clothes before coming over.
Where?
Qin Shou asked eagerly.
Xiao Xuan frowned, hesitated visibly for a moment, and finally said, "The Snow Ash Forbidden Zone!"
"I will go and fetch it right away."
Qin Shou prepared to leave.
"Master, please wait."
Xiao Xuan stopped him, "Master, the Snow Ash Forbidden Zone is one of the oldest forbidden zones, and it is also known as one of the ten most dangerous forbidden zones in the Tianxuan Continent. All living beings in the world are forbidden to enter. Even if someone in the Tribulation Transcending Realm enters, it is difficult for them to come out alive."
Furthermore, according to recent verifiable records, 300,000 years ago, the once-prosperous Heavenly Dao Sect in the Central Plains of China, with ten members undergoing tribulations, was rumored to have decided to attack the forbidden zone with all its might in order to seize something from it. The attack was a massive undertaking, but in the end, the Heavenly Dao Sect vanished without a trace, with no survivors.
I learned about the Rebirth Flower because I recently found a bronze block in an ancient secret realm. It contained the legacy of the Heavenly Dao Sect from years past, as well as some secrets about the Heavenly Dao Sect, including information about the Rebirth Flower.
The record states that their attack on the forbidden area was to seize the Flower of Rebirth, in order to resurrect a person—the one with the greatest potential to lead their Heavenly Dao Sect to its ultimate glory.
"Does it involve the power of a True Immortal?" Qin Shou looked at Xiao Xuan.
"Perhaps." Xiao Xuan nodded heavily, then added, "However, if it exists, it's unlikely to be a 'complete immortal.'"
Qin Shou understood what Xiao Xuan meant. The laws of the lower realm were incomplete, there were no longevity substances or immortal energy to sustain cultivation. If the beings in the forbidden zone were true immortals, they would not choose to stay in the lower realm, but would ascend to immortality.
There are only a few reasons why they didn't choose to ascend: either they had suffered severe injuries, or their life level hadn't yet leaped to the True Immortal level. But whatever the reason, it doesn't matter as long as they aren't true immortal beings.
Qin Shou had absolute confidence in this.
"Master, should we mobilize the entire nation to attack the forbidden zone?"
