Chapter 165 Fifty Years of Diligent Cultivation, Attempting to Reach the Golden Core Realm (Please Subscribe)
However, Wu Qiguo planned to send assassins to kill Yang Feng, but found that Yang Feng was very cautious.

He usually lives in the inner courtyard of the courthouse and rarely goes out.

Even some corporate groups and powerful families sent people to him, wanting to provide him with financial assistance.

Yang Feng only met and negotiated with the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators sent by these forces.

Furthermore, they specifically applied to the court, hoping that the court would strictly examine the liaison personnel sent by these corporate groups and family forces.

When the president of the Zheng Court, Master Tianfeng, received Yang Feng's application, he sent people to investigate and learned that Yang Feng, at the age of 93, had broken through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Furthermore, after hearing Yang Feng recount that Wu Qiguo's spies had previously tried to recruit him, and that he even suspected that a staff member of the Zheng Court had leaked his personal information, he immediately took the matter seriously after verifying with the nearby police station that this was indeed the case.

In addition to complying with Yang Feng's requirements, they strengthened the strict scrutiny of the various companies, groups, and family forces that came to visit Yang Feng.

Furthermore, the security department of the Zheng Court was instructed to strengthen its defenses, fearing that Wu Qiguo would send people into the Zheng Court to assassinate Yang Feng.

After all, after reading Yang Feng's personal information, Master Tianfeng learned that Yang Feng was only over ninety years old this year, yet he had already raised his cultivation to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual and physical cultivation had reached the second-stage eighth level many years ago.

It is also believed that, barring unforeseen circumstances, a talent like Yang Feng will most likely achieve the True Core stage in the future.

If their Zheng Court can cultivate another True Core Realm cultivator, it will be a great achievement for him and the entire Zheng Court.

Therefore, Master Tianfeng naturally dared not be careless. Otherwise, if it really happened and a student was killed by assassins from Wuqi Kingdom in the Zheng Court, he could not bear the responsibility.

The reason Yang Feng was so cautious was mainly because the news of his breakthrough to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment had attracted a great deal of attention.

This forced him to become more cautious.

In particular, he had worked hard for so many years to reach this point, and he also had a secret.

He didn't want to encounter danger at this final stage of achieving the Golden Elixir, causing all his efforts to be in vain.

Fortunately, since dealing with Chu Yan, Yang Feng has been quite cautious in recent years.

And he guessed that the reason he was being targeted by the spy organization of the Wuqi Kingdom was probably because his personal information had been leaked.

Therefore, Yang Feng has been hiding some of his true abilities from the court over the years.

For example, a few years ago, when he raised his spiritual and physical cultivation to the second level, ninth stage, he did not go to the testing hall to register for testing.

Furthermore, even though he had cultivated the "Five Elements Foundation Building Chapter" and several corresponding second-tier techniques to perfection, he did not go to the testing hall to register.

That would prevent people from guessing that he had any hope of achieving the Golden Core stage.

Otherwise, if outsiders knew all about him and guessed that he had the potential to achieve the Golden Core stage, Yang Feng would feel even more insecure.

After all, as far as he knew, the dean of their court, Master Tianfeng, was merely an elderly cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Pseudo-Core Realm.

Yang Feng was not at ease entrusting his life and fortune to him, as well as the protection of the court.

"Fortunately, I was cautious back then and discovered that Chu Yan had a problem, which made me more vigilant and cautious over the years, and I did not show too much talent to the Court of Justice."

"Moreover, over the years, I have also obtained quite a few third-tier, low-grade protective treasures from the system, which gives me a certain ability to protect myself even when facing cultivators in the Pseudo-Core Realm or even the early True Core Realm."

"Therefore, as long as I do not leave the Zhengfa Academy before breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, and I have the Zhengfa Academy strengthen its defenses, I believe that even if someone wants to harm me, they should not send too strong a cultivator to deal with me."

Yang Feng said to himself.

As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. Even though Yang Feng was unaware that he was being targeted by spies from Wuqi Kingdom, he had too many secrets to keep in mind.

……

Meanwhile, the spy organization of Wuqi Kingdom, after reviewing Yang Feng's personal information, learned that Yang Feng had a great chance of achieving the True Core stage in the future.

So, after applying to the Wuqi Kingdom, they dispatched a pseudo-core cultivator to assassinate Yang Feng, intending to nip this future true core seed in the bud.

However, after the pseudo-Core Formation cultivator had someone investigate Yang Feng's daily habits at the Zhengfa Court, he found that he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to get close to Yang Feng's residence.

Yang Feng was too cautious; he rarely met with cultivators of high cultivation levels.

Even recently, when some cultivators who knew him went to visit him, he refused to meet them, citing the need to go into seclusion for cultivation.

Moreover, he sent someone to scout the location and discovered that Yang Feng's residence was currently under close guard by the security department of the court.

Not only was a high-grade third-tier protective array set up at his residence.

Moreover, there are multiple late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators on duty around the clock.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for him to secretly infiltrate the court or find a suitable opportunity to kill Yang Feng.

As for having other spies from Wuqi Kingdom cooperate with him to create chaos near the Court of Justice, diverting the dean and the monks of the security department so that he could directly storm into the Court of Justice and deal with Yang Feng, such methods were too despicable.

Even if he succeeds, it will likely alarm the major law enforcement agencies in Kyoto Immortal City afterwards.

At that time, not only him, but also the spy organization that Wuqi Kingdom has been secretly developing in the capital city for many years will probably be purged on a large scale.

Obviously, it's not worth it.

Therefore, the pseudo-core cultivator sent by Wu Qi Kingdom to assassinate Yang Feng waited near the Zheng Court for two or three years. When he found that he could not find an opportunity to make a move, he had no choice but to give up and apply for Wu Qi Kingdom to send other cultivators to wait for him.

After all, it's not worth it for a dignified Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator like him to stake out the Zhengfa Court for decades just to assassinate a True Core Realm seed from the Xia Kingdom.

Moreover, if he waits for too long, he may also be exposed.

……

Yang Feng was completely unaware that Wu Qi Kingdom had sent a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator to assassinate him.

But being cautious by nature, he knew that as long as he stayed quietly in the courthouse for the next few years and didn't go out or contact outsiders, no one could do anything to him.

And just like that, time flew by.

Five years passed quickly.

On this day, after consuming a large amount of pills and precious materials to enhance his spiritual cultivation, and after five days of intense effort, Yang Feng finally raised his spiritual cultivation to the perfect level of the second stage, ninth level.

"call……"

"I have finally raised my spiritual cultivation to the perfect level of the second stage, ninth level."

"It's not easy."

"From breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm to now raising my cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment Realm and the ninth level of the second stage, it has taken a full fifty years." "Now I have finally met all the conditions to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Yang Feng opened the system panel and saw that his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit, as well as the corresponding three cultivation techniques and second-tier spells, had all reached the perfect state.

He let out a long breath, and a slightly excited light appeared in his eyes.

Through fifty years of arduous cultivation, he not only perfected his cultivation in terms of technique, body, and spirit, but also the corresponding three cultivation methods and second-tier spells.

Furthermore, he also raised his Five Elements spiritual root aptitude and body grade to the Earth grade level.

In addition, Yang Feng has obtained more than ten Core Formation spiritual items from the system over the years, and in recent years he has also received Core Formation spiritual items and Crystal Condensation Pills as free gifts from some companies, groups and families.

This gave Yang Feng full confidence in his upcoming attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm.

"It is said that the younger a cultivator is when they break through to the Golden Core realm, the higher their success rate, and the more benefits they will receive when they do so."

"And it also allows cultivators more time to achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

Yang Feng murmured in his heart.

Having decided to stop waiting, I plan to adjust my mindset soon and begin my attempt to reach the Golden Core realm.

Even though he was 98 years old and his attempt to reach the Golden Core realm was somewhat high-profile.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Anyway, as far as he knew, the leader of their Xia Kingdom, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, was said to be younger than him when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

Even if I achieve the Golden Core stage, I still won't break that person's record, so it shouldn't be considered earth-shattering.

As for whether or not one should try to conceal their achievement of the Golden Core when attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Over the years, Yang Feng has consulted a lot of materials and learned that when cultivators break through to the Golden Core realm, they need to absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Therefore, in order to ensure his success in forming the Golden Core, Yang Feng had to choose a place with a high-grade third-level spiritual vein when attempting to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, Yang Feng had heard that if a cultivator could form a golden core, it would trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, causing the Heavenly Dao to bestow profound insights into the Great Dao.

Under these circumstances, even if Yang Feng wanted to conceal the process of achieving the Golden Core stage, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Moreover, after careful consideration, Yang Feng realized that deliberately concealing his attainment of the Golden Core stage would not be a good thing.

After all, even if he could deceive the high-ranking officials of Xia Kingdom and those two Nascent Soul Realm leaders, making people mistakenly believe that he had only achieved the True Core Realm.

If the Xia Kingdom's high-ranking officials were to send him to guard some border immortal cities, he would be in even greater danger.

Especially when their Xia Kingdom's leader, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, passes away, and a conflict breaks out between the two countries, dragging him into it, he will only be more passive, and it is also possible that his achievement of the Golden Core Realm will be exposed.

On the contrary, if he chose to let the two Nascent Soul Realm leaders of their Xia Kingdom know that he had formed a Golden Core, they would then take him as their disciple.

In the future, he will not only receive a large amount of high-level national resources for training, making it easier for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

For example, if Yang Feng hadn't entered the Zhengfa Academy and received a large amount of high-level resources, as well as guidance from the spirit master, he wouldn't have been able to raise his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit, as well as several corresponding techniques and spells, to the perfect state so quickly.

Furthermore, Yang Feng will not have to worry about being sent to the front lines by the Xia Kingdom's high command in the future.

After all, if someone can achieve the Golden Core stage, they will be nurtured by the Xia Kingdom as a future Nascent Soul seed. Under such circumstances, the Xia Kingdom's high-ranking officials would definitely not easily send him to the front lines to fight.

As for whether his secrets will be discovered by the two Nascent Soul Realm leaders of Xia Kingdom after he achieves the Golden Core stage, and is accepted as their disciple, he will remain a mystery.

Yang Feng, however, was not particularly worried.

After all, he didn't possess any treasures that would make a Nascent Soul cultivator covet him.

Over the years, the highest-ranking reward he received from the system was only a mid-grade third rank.

According to his understanding, the leader, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, was now nearing the end of his lifespan, and even through possession, he could not be allowed to live another life.

According to Yang Feng's research of ancient texts, once a cultivator's lifespan comes to an end, no matter if they are only at the Nascent Soul stage, or even if they have reached the Divine Transformation stage or the Void Refining stage, they will still die.

As for Yang Feng, he has a system panel that allows him to gain rewards by grinding experience.

Yang Feng, however, did not believe that those two Nascent Soul cultivators, with their cultivation level and limited perspective, could possibly perceive it.

Therefore, when Yang Feng decided to break through to the Golden Core realm after careful consideration, there was no need for him to deliberately conceal it.

He planned to break through to the Heavenly City of Kyoto in front of all the cultivators of the Righteous Court.

Therefore, after raising his soul cultivation to the second stage, ninth level, Yang Feng immediately submitted an application to the dean, informing him of his plan to break through to the Core Formation realm.

"Yang Feng, you've decided to break through to the Core Formation realm so quickly? Aren't you going to hone your skills for a few more years?"

The president of the Zheng Court, Master Tianfeng, was quite surprised to learn that Yang Feng planned to break through to the Core Formation realm.

In particular, he thought that Yang Feng was only 98 years old this year, so young, he could spend a few more years honing his skills and improving his conditions in all aspects, so that the quality of his Core Formation would be better when he achieved it.

"No, Dean, I feel that even if we spend another ten or twenty years refining our skills, it will be difficult to achieve a qualitative leap in our cultivation and techniques."

"Therefore, it's better to take advantage of the fact that you're still relatively young and your physical functions are at their peak, and try to break through as soon as possible. That way, you'll have a better chance of success."

Yang Feng did not inform Tianfeng Zhenren about his cultivation level in various aspects, but gave an ambiguous answer.

"alright."

Master Tianfeng did not forcefully inquire about Yang Feng's cultivation level.

Seeing that Yang Feng had asked him to attempt to break through to the Core Formation Realm, he recalled that Yang Feng had already raised his physical and spiritual cultivation to the second-tier, eighth-level stage more than ten years ago.

He guessed that Yang Feng should have already raised his physical and spiritual cultivation to the second-tier, ninth-level, which met the conditions for breaking through to the True Core Realm, so he nodded and agreed to Yang Feng's application.

Then the court was immediately instructed to strengthen its defenses for the next period of time.

They also opened the Core Formation Hall in the Zhengfa Academy, a special hall for cultivators attempting to break through to the Core Formation realm, allowing Yang Feng to attempt the Core Formation realm.

As for whether Yang Feng had raised both his physical and spiritual cultivation to the perfect level of the second tier, ninth stage, thus meeting the requirements for breaking through to the Golden Core realm, he hadn't thought about that.

After all, it is extremely difficult to raise one's cultivation in terms of technique, body, and spirit to the level of Foundation Establishment Level 9 Perfection and Second Stage Level 9 Perfection.

If Yang Feng fails to raise his physical and spiritual cultivation to the perfect level of the second tier, ninth stage before he turns 120, then he will have wasted several decades of his life, which would indeed not be worthwhile.
