Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 529 The Three Great Tokens (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Even if Li Yunjing were to clash with a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm using supernatural powers, he would not be able to exhaust himself!
He forcefully broke through the shackles of the second level of the Golden Core Realm in such a domineering way.

"This is such a wonderful place!"

Li Yunjing stood up, looked at the sparse lightning power inside the "Thunder Marrow Cave," and couldn't help but smack his lips, revealing an expression of unsatisfied enjoyment.

"If I could stay here in seclusion for a long time and absorb all the lightning power of 'Thunder Tribulation Valley,' I could become an immortal, right?"

The thought alone made Li Yunjing somewhat tempted.

However, considering that this was a sect and that they had painstakingly accumulated valuable wealth over four hundred thousand years, Li Yunjing's desire to pursue this idea completely faded.

His feelings for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are genuine and undeniable!

He never used the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" as a stepping stone for his cultivation; once he had used it, he abandoned it.

"Thunder Tribulation Valley" is related to the eternal succession of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

Even if Li Yunjing becomes an immortal, so what?

Didn't they ascend to heaven?

Even without him, the Shenxiao Dao Sect would still encounter many, many problems.

At this point, "Thunder Tribulation Valley" became the trump card of "Divine Firmament Dao Sect", second only to that closed secret realm.

Li Yunjing aspires to become the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and naturally cannot jeopardize the future of the sect for the sake of his own cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless rare and precious materials.

Want to break through your cultivation level?

It's better to rob other people's things; there's no need to specifically target your own!

After stretching his limbs slightly, Li Yunjing calmed his mind and slowly circulated the surging magical power within his body, feeling the new transformation brought about by the second level of the Golden Core Realm.

His bones grew increasingly strong, as if cast from refined steel; with a slight clench of his fist, one could hear the explosive sound of air being compressed.

His meridians also widened several times over, and his magical power flowed like a mighty river, surging endlessly.

"This feeling of breakthrough is simply wonderful!"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He raised his hand and waved it, and lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a nimble lightning dragon that coiled and swirled around him, emitting a deep dragon roar.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing could summon the power of thunder, unleashing thunder magic even more powerful than before.

In addition to the improvement of his realm, Li Yunjing also gained a more thorough understanding of the two body tempering techniques, "Nine Heavens Thunder Tempering Technique" and "Ten Thousand Jun Thunder Body Forging," during the process of tempering his body with thunder.

After all, Li Yunjing had been bombarded for more than three months. Under the repeated tempering of heavenly lightning, his "Thunder Divine Body" had undergone a qualitative change, and his affinity and control over lightning power had reached a new level.

Li Yunjing vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched the threshold of the minor success of the "Thunder God Body"!

If his physical body were to undergo another transformation, he might truly have entered the realm of enlightenment.

At this moment, even the most violent heavenly lightning outside was like a docile lamb in Li Yunjing's eyes, which he could command at will.

"The opportunities in 'Thunder Tribulation Valley' are indeed extraordinary."

Li Yunjing sighed.

If it weren't for this uniquely favorable environment, I don't know how much time and how many hardships I would have had to endure to break through to the second level of the Golden Core Realm.

Li Yunjing shouldn't even think about it without a year or two!

Of course, no one else knew what Li Yunjing was thinking; otherwise, the entire cultivation world would have been in an uproar.

What do you mean by "one or two years, with difficulties and obstacles"?
Breaking through a level in one or two years is considered incredibly auspicious by others.

Let alone a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, who is a pillar of the field, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to pay a huge price to break through a realm in one or two years!
If everyone could break through to the next realm like Li Yunjing, where would the vast number of lower-level cultivators in the cultivation world be?

After composing himself, Li Yunjing's gaze fell on the several "storage rings" on his fingers.

Before going into seclusion, he stored all kinds of precious pills, magic weapons, and cultivation resources that he had exchanged from the sect's treasury in it.

Now that his cultivation level has improved, he needs to re-examine these resources and select the items most suitable for his current cultivation.

Li Yunjing first took out a series of "Purple Mansion Condensing Yuan Pills" that exuded rich medicinal power. These pills contained abundant spiritual energy and were excellent auxiliary pills for Golden Core cultivators.

Without hesitation, Li Yunjing swallowed three pills. The pills melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a powerful medicinal force that quickly integrated into his meridians, helping him stabilize his realm and further refine his magical power.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunjing released his "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" and threw it into the depths of "Thunder Tribulation Valley" so that the thunderous power there could continue to temper the magic weapon.

"Boom!"

Before long, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" appeared in the valley, which triggered the sound of thunder.

Li Yunjing didn't even glance at it!

Using the power of heaven and earth to forge weapons is much less troublesome than forging weapons himself.

After throwing away the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", Li Yunjing continued to search for other items.

Especially the "Deputy Sect Leader Thunder Dragon Token", "White Tiger Token", and "Black Tortoise Token" that he had just obtained.

These three tokens are symbols of identity and manifestations of power.

The "Deputy Sect Leader's Token" is also a low-grade fourth-tier magic weapon.

The "Deputy Sect Leader Token" is held by the most elite core figures in the sect. This token is the symbol of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect," and very few are issued throughout the entire sect.

Moreover, the position of deputy sect leader is temporary!

When their term ends, they can either be promoted to the position of sect leader, break through their cultivation level to become a supreme elder, or simply step down and become an elder.

Regardless of the choice, this token must be handed over.

The sect will refine it again, turning it into materials. When the next true disciple is promoted to vice sect leader, the materials will be added to the true disciple token, upgrading it to a vice sect leader token.

This is a cyclical process.

However, during this period of office, the deputy sect leader can still refine it and activate the treasure to attack enemies and protect himself.

The "White Tiger Token" and the "Black Tortoise Token" are even more powerful!

These are genuine credentials; both tokens are peak-level fourth-tier magic treasures!
How could Li Yunjing not value three magic treasures of the fourth rank or higher?

Having refined the three tokens, one could even activate some of the restrictions and formations of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," "White Tiger Hall," and "Xuanwu Hall" for one's own use.

In these three locations, Li Yunjing was even confident that he could fight against Nascent Soul Realm cultivators without being at a disadvantage!
After making a few adjustments, Li Yunjing sat cross-legged and first took out the "Deputy Sect Leader Thunder Dragon Token".

Upon receiving the token, a mysterious thunderous aura emanated from it, with runes flashing on its surface, seemingly recounting the illustrious reputation of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" in the past.

This was an heirloom, and Li Yunjing sensed a certain emotion within it.

That sentiment is the history of the rise and fall of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Ugh……"

Having experienced four hundred thousand years of emotions, Li Yunjing took a deep breath, circulated his internal lightning magic, and poured his own magical power into the token like a trickle.

At first, the token seemed to resist, its runes flickering as it tried to break free from Li Yunjing's control.

However, as Li Yunjing's thunderous power increased its output, it became more and more in line with the Daoist teachings of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect." The "Thunder Dragon Token" gradually began to react, with the thunder patterns shining brightly. Strands of thunderous power transformed into tiny thunder insects, spreading up Li Yunjing's arm and merging into his meridians, as if testing and adjusting to each other.

After a while, the token suddenly emitted a clear ringing sound, and the lightning pattern light completely stabilized, perfectly matching Li Yunjing's magic power.

Immediately, Li Yunjing channeled a wisp of his divine sense into it, gaining complete control of the "Thunder Dragon Token".

After successfully refining the "Deputy Sect Leader Thunder Dragon Token", Li Yunjing could clearly sense the powerful force contained within the token. It could not only be used as a fourth-grade low-level magic weapon to defend against enemies, but also to activate some of the sect's lightning-type restrictions for his own use, and even unleash lightning attacks!
"What a wonderful thing! With this order, we'll be like a tiger with wings!"

Li Yunjing played with the "Thunder Dragon Token" and smiled.

It was worth the more than a month he spent refining this deputy sect leader token.

After a short rest, Li Yunjing picked up the "White Tiger Token" again.

The token was heavy in the hand, and its surface was engraved with a majestic white tiger pattern, so lifelike that it seemed ready to pounce at any moment. Li Yunjing circulated his true essence and poured his magical power into it once more.

This "White Tiger Token" truly lives up to its reputation as a peak fourth-tier magic weapon; its difficulty in refining far surpasses that of the "Thunder Dragon Token."

As soon as Li Yunjing infused his magic power, the token erupted with a powerful backlash, causing his arm to go numb and blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"Good heavens! The counterattack is so fierce! No wonder it's a treasure that sealed the 'White Tiger Power'!"

After being injured, Li Yunjing was not angry; instead, his smile widened.

That's exactly the kind of treasure he wants that can hurt him!

If you can't even hurt yourself, what will you do when you really encounter a life-or-death enemy?
Can we still count on this "White Tiger Token"?
After catching his breath, Li Yunjing did not back down. He continued to circulate all his magical power to form a five-colored light shield to resist the backlash of the "White Tiger Token." At the same time, he increased his magical power output and forcefully attacked the core restriction of the token.

As time went by, the white tiger pattern on the "White Tiger Token" gradually brightened, and the original resistance gradually weakened.

"Let's see how long you can hold on!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing was overjoyed and intensified his attack, integrating his understanding of thunder magic into his magic power, which surged towards the token.

At the same time, his mental energy was also invading the "White Tiger Token," attempting to master the restrictions, runes, and formations within...

"Ouch..."

Three months later, the "White Tiger Token" let out a tiger's roar and was completely refined by Li Yunjing.

With this order, Li Yunjing can mobilize numerous resources within the "White Tiger Hall," trigger the killing formations within the hall, and truly command the "White Tiger Army."

"With one burst of energy, I also refined the 'Black Tortoise Token'!"

Without lingering for long, Li Yunjing began refining the "Black Tortoise Token".

The "Xuanwu Token" is entirely black, exuding a heavy and ancient aura, and the pattern of tortoise and snake entwined on it is mysterious and unpredictable.

Learning from his previous experience, Li Yunjing no longer rashly injected his magic power. Instead, he first used his divine sense to explore the internal structure of the token and find its weak points that he could refine.

After careful examination, Li Yunjing finally understood the restrictions and formation layout of the "Xuanwu Token." He then focused his mind and transformed his divine sense into a sharp thorn, piercing into the token.

At the same time, he carefully enveloped his magical power outside his divine sense and began to attack the token.

"Boom!"

The moment the divine sense touched some rune nodes, a powerful soul impact erupted from within the token, attempting to repel Li Yunjing's divine sense.

Li Yunjing felt a sharp pain in his head and almost lost consciousness.

He forced himself to maintain a clear mind and circulated the "Divine Firmament Path". Thousands of lightning threads burst forth from the golden core in his dantian, surging into his divine sense like a tide along his meridians, making the sharp thorn even more solid.

The soul impact at the rune node was like a raging storm, each wave crashing against his soul, causing his mind to tremble. He even saw phantom images of a tortoise and snake baring their fangs and claws.

"Break it for me!"

Li Yunjing roared, and the combined power of his magic and divine sense crashed into the rune node like a thunderbolt.

The phantom of the tortoise and snake suddenly split, transforming into two black chains that wrapped around him, attempting to crush his divine sense.

But Li Yunjing was prepared. His divine sense transformed into the shape of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" and slashed through the air within the "Xuanwu Token"!
"Crack! Click!"

As the chains broke inch by inch, the light of the rune nodes began to dim.

"Practice for me!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yunjing condensed all his magical power into a lightning spear, using his divine sense as a guide, and fiercely pierced into the core of the node.

With a loud "boom," the internal restrictions of the token cracked like a spider web, and the tortoise and snake pattern suddenly came to life. After hovering in the air for a moment, it turned into a stream of light and entered Li Yunjing's brow.

In an instant, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

The thirty-six layers of defensive formations and seventy-two trapping restrictions of the "Xuanwu Token" are clearly presented, as well as the method for opening the underground secret vault of the "Xuanwu Hall".

Li Yunjing sensed the immense power contained within the token. With a mere thought, he could activate the protective array of the "Xuanwu Hall" and even summon the ancient Xuanwu phantom to protect himself.

"call……"

Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief; the stray hairs on his forehead were already soaked with cold sweat.

Looking at the "Black Tortoise Token" floating quietly in his hand, the tortoise and snake pattern on its surface was now shimmering with a warm luster, perfectly resonating with the lightning power surrounding Li Yunjing.

"The three great magic weapons have been initially refined and can be used in simple ways!"

After refining all three tokens, Li Yunjing stood up, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

Even if they are unable to unleash most of their power, it is enough to ensure Li Yunjing's safety.

In Li Yunjing's view, on the entire "Tianlan Star", below the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, no one was his match, including the strongest Golden Core Realm cultivators of those behemoth sects on various continents!

This also includes those at the half-step Nascent Soul realm!
Of course, Li Yunjing relied on external forces for this. If it were his own combat strength, it would be difficult to guarantee that he could fight against a half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert!
After all, a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator has already begun to comprehend higher-level laws and master higher-level supernatural powers, which Li Yunjing does not possess.

"More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, but I still have far too many magical treasures to refine!"

Li Yunjing took out the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe," "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor," "Swift Wind Boots," and belt from his "storage ring" and put them on.

Of all these treasures, the one he valued most was the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe," a high-grade fourth-tier defensive magic weapon.

In terms of value, it's even comparable to a top-tier fourth-grade attack magic weapon!
Li Yunjing's fingertips brushed across the fine thunder patterns on the surface of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Taoist Robe," and the robe immediately emitted a faint blue light, as if thousands of thunderbolts were lurking within.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a mudra, drawing upon the power of the golden core within his dantian, which transformed into strands of golden lightning that wrapped around his Taoist robe.

His divine sense transformed into a thunder dragon, which burrowed into the inside of the Taoist robe through the gaps in the thunder patterns.

The interior of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe" was a world unto itself. As soon as Li Yunjing's divine sense entered, he was entangled by countless chains of Daoist laws.

"Hmph! Nothing can stop my refining!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and activated the power of the "Thunder Dragon Token" he had just refined. The token's phantom appeared in the space of his Daoist robe, with a thunder dragon on it raising its head and roaring. It resonated with Li Yunjing's divine sense thunder dragon and shattered the layers of restrictions with the force of thunder.

"go with!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yunjing dripped his own blood essence onto his Daoist robe. The blood essence transformed into crimson lightning, seeping into every lightning pattern.

"Om..."

The "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe" emitted a clear sound, and all the thunder patterns lit up instantly, forming a thunder shield surrounding Li Yunjing. The powerful defensive force made him feel an unprecedented sense of security.

After briefly sensing the power of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe," Li Yunjing felt that it could withstand the bombardment of a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm!
Even if he stands still, the other party may not be able to harm him!

Of course, this does not include super-grade magic weapons and forbidden artifacts!
Li Yunjing can basically ignore any magic weapon of the third rank or above, and any cultivator below the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm.

After a short rest, he turned his attention to his many magical treasures.

In previous years, Li Yunjing had always been in a hurry to refine them, and had not been able to unleash the true power of those fourth and fifth-tier magic weapons.

Taking advantage of the time, Li Yunjing took out all his commonly used and spare magic weapons and refined them again to increase their power.

It took Li Yunjing a full five years to refine the magic weapon.

After the last magical artifact was refined, it transformed into a stream of jade-colored light and disappeared into his storage ring. Li Yunjing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Adding the year spent refining the three tokens, it took him a full six years!

For the past six years, Li Yunjing has done nothing but continuously expend his spiritual and magical power to mechanically refine one magical artifact after another.

Although so much time was spent without being used for cultivation, it was still very worthwhile for Li Yunjing!
The improvement in combat capabilities will be helpful for his "Far North" operation in a few years.

In Li Yunjing's plan, at least the combat strength of the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm is required!
Only in this way will we be safer once we arrive there, and won't have to flee at the mere sight of the enemy.

After all, the item that the senior cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm of the "Guanghan Palace" specifically requested was definitely not an ordinary object, and it was easy for a conflict to break out with a high-level cultivator.

That was something Li Yunjing was determined to obtain, so naturally he wouldn't back down.

And combat strength is Li Yunjing's source of confidence!
The higher Li Yunjing's combat strength, the more confident he became!
After organizing all the magical artifacts, Li Yunjing took out the "Nine Heavens Thunder Tempering Technique," "Ten Thousand Jun Thunder Body Forging," and the third and fourth volumes of "Divine Firmament Dao," and studied them carefully.
