I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

After reaching the Golden Core stage, Su Yu naturally rose to become a powerful inner sect elder of the Cangxuan Sect.

The sect leader and all the Golden Core elders showed an extremely warm welcome to his breakthrough.

The Cangxuan Sect governs hundreds of thousands of miles of territory. It is a large and powerful sect with countless mines, markets, and secret realms, all of which require high-level cultivators to guard them.

The Qi Refining stage is a consumable stage, while the Foundation Establishment stage is the backbone stage.

Golden Core cultivators are the high-level combatants who can truly determine the situation in a region.

The addition of a Golden Core cultivator means that the sect's overall deterrent power has increased, and the territory of resources it can control has become more stable.

As for the distribution of resources.

Once you reach the Golden Core stage, the monthly allowance and offerings from the sect are merely the foundation for maintaining your daily breathing exercises.

True rare treasures and top-grade magical artifacts can only be obtained by Golden Core cultivators exploring ancient ruins or by performing extraordinary feats for their sects.

"Elder Su, to be able to achieve the elixir at the age of one hundred is truly a blessing for our Cangxuan Sect."

The sect leader sat in the main seat, smiling and speaking in a gentle tone.

He had already read the files submitted by the Imperial Household Department and naturally knew that Su Yu had formed a low-grade eighth-rank Golden Core.

But nobody cared.

The majority of the dozens of Golden Core elders sitting in this hall are the lowest-ranking ninth-grade cultivators.

Grade 8 is already considered to be of good quality.

Most of them have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and the gap in strength can mostly be bridged by magic weapons and the passage of time.

According to the rules, newly promoted elders are required to take on a sect duty.

Su Yu chose to go to the Transmission Hall to preach to the newly recruited inner disciples.

This job sounds complicated, but it's actually extremely easy.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he only needs to sit on the Transmission Platform for an hour every seven days and casually offer a few pointers on the challenges of cultivation.

For those inner disciples who are still struggling in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

The fact that the Golden Core Ancestor personally took the time to preach is undoubtedly a tremendous blessing.

Every time he gave a lecture, the audience was packed.

During his time in the Hall of Transmission of Skills, Su Yu also keenly noticed a change within himself.

He realized that his spirits had dissipated.

That spirit of striving upwards with all one's might and defying fate completely dissipated the moment the eighth-grade golden core was formed.

Su Yu sat at the stone table in the cave, poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, and watched the white mist rising from the cup.

He did not feel any panic or remorse for this change in his situation.

Because he understood that he had reached the absolute pinnacle that this body could achieve.

This peak does not refer to the peak of spiritual root aptitude.

Spiritual roots are only concerned with the speed and capacity of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

What stifled him was his lack of understanding.

Before reaching the thresholds of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and even Core Formation.

Cultivators can also forcefully break through barriers by relying on their powerful physical bodies, abundant resources, and the experience of predecessors.

However, after achieving the Golden Elixir, the path of cultivation undergoes a fundamental change.

As you progress further, comprehension becomes more important than aptitude.

The goal is to shatter the Golden Core and create a Nascent Soul.

What is needed is an extremely profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and an understanding of space and the origin of life.

In theory, even the lowest grade nine spiritual root can shatter the core and form an infant.

However, one lacks the exceptional comprehension to grasp that faint trace of the Dao in the darkness.

Even if you possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is absolutely impossible for you to even touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

Having figured this out, Su Yu completely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to climb upwards.

that's it.

Su Yu lived a peaceful life within the inner sect of the Cangxuan Sect, similar to that of an ordinary old man enjoying his retirement.

Drinking tea, giving lectures, and occasionally retreating to refine one's existing skills.

Years are like a shuttle.

Ten years passed quietly in an extremely stable rhythm.

Over the past decade, Su Yu has accumulated an enormous amount of resources through his basic salary as a Golden Core cultivator, plus the sect contribution points he earns from lecturing.

In the storage bag.

Tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, hundreds of bottles of high-grade pills suitable for Foundation Establishment stage practitioners, and more than a dozen high-quality Foundation Establishment stage magic artifacts.

Su Yu didn't touch any of these things.

Because it's not needed.

The daily energy expenditure of a Golden Core stage cultivator is enormous.

But those pills designed for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages had absolutely no effect on him.

The rare and precious materials that can be effective for those in the Golden Core stage require an extremely high number of contribution points to exchange within the sect, or to fight in extremely dangerous secret realms.

Su Yu did not intend to compete for it.

He even had a vague premonition.

Given his current foundation and lifespan, even if he cultivates his inner energy steadily, he can only reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm at most in this lifetime.

Spending a huge amount of money to obtain a few Golden Core stage pills is nothing more than reaching that point a few decades earlier, which is completely meaningless.

Therefore, he preserved all of his ten years of accumulation intact.

Using these resources on him would be a waste.

But if we take it back to the border of Yue and hand it over to the Su family of Qianlong.

That would be a terrifying foundation that could fundamentally change the entire family.

This is enough to allow the Su family to effortlessly produce several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in the next one or two hundred years.

Su Yu had already made plans. In a few days, he would ask the sect for leave and return to Qingmu Market.

Just as Su Yu was silently organizing the supplies in the storage bag.

Within the Cangxuan Sect, two extremely violent fluctuations of spiritual energy suddenly erupted in succession.

These two fluctuations originated from the sect's two most core True Inheritance Peaks.

After sixty years of seclusion, Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er finally achieved the Core Formation stage.

This commotion was so great that it not only caused the heavens and earth to change color, but also prompted the sect leader and several supreme elders to personally come out to protect the Dharma.

however.

When the thunderclouds dispersed, the celestial phenomena subsided.

The two people who emerged from the cave disappointed all the sect's high-ranking members who had been full of expectations.

Inside the main hall of the main peak.

Su Yu, as a Golden Core Elder, was also seated to the side.

He looked at Lin Wan'er and Chu Tiankuo standing in the center of the hall.

The two did not look much different, but their auras exuded an undeniable sense of listlessness and melancholy.

They failed.

To be precise, he failed to break through to the superior-grade Golden Core stage.

After sixty years of seclusion, they attempted to perfectly integrate their own Daoist intent with the laws of heaven and earth in order to form a superior golden elixir.

But the ways of Heaven are merciless, and the backlash is extremely cruel.

At the last moment, in her desperate attempt to obtain a third-grade golden core, Lin Wan'er nearly suffered a backlash from the ice-based laws, which shattered her dantian.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, she had no choice but to shatter part of her foundation and hastily condense a golden core to save her life.

Ultimately, it became a ninth-grade golden elixir, the lowest grade.

Chu Tiankuo, who possesses the Earth Spirit Root, has a deeper foundation.

He managed to stabilize his Qi Sea despite the backlash from the laws. Although he failed to reach the threshold of a high-grade Golden Core, he eventually formed a fifth-grade Golden Core.

Moderate qualities.

Although a fifth-grade Golden Core is far superior to a ninth-grade one, not only does it grant an extra three thousand years of lifespan, but its combat power is also extremely considerable.

But for a peerless genius who was once invincible among his peers and was nurtured by the sect as a potential Nascent Soul cultivator.

This result is tantamount to a direct verdict that his path to enlightenment has been severed.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was extremely oppressive.

The elders looked at their two disciples, on whom they had once placed great hopes, and sighed repeatedly.

The defeat in the Taihuang Secret Realm sixty years ago became an inescapable obsession in their hearts.

That crack in his Dao heart was magnified infinitely by the laws of heaven and earth at the most crucial moment of forming his core, ultimately leading to the bitter fruit we see today.

Chu Tiankuo clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He didn't defend himself; he just stared intently at the bluestone bricks on the ground, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

Lin Wan'er's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly.

The once-proud genius has fallen from grace.

This sense of loss is more painful than killing them.

The sect leader sat on his high seat, looking at the two of them, and remained silent for a long time.

"So be it. The path of cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens; success or failure is predetermined."

The sect leader's voice echoed in the empty hall, filled with deep regret, not blame.

"It is already a great fortune that I was able to survive and form the Golden Core."

"You two should rest and recuperate within the sect to stabilize your cultivation levels."

Lin Wan'er bit her bloodless lips and finally couldn't help but raise her head.

"Sect Master, there is something I do not understand."

Her voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying a strong sense of suppressed hatred.

"Sixty years have passed. Has the sect received any news about Li Han?"

Upon hearing this name...

Chu Tiankuo suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.

The grudge from the theft of treasures in the desolate secret realm is the root of the torment they have endured day and night for the past sixty years.

If Li Han hadn't snatched away the inheritance and the spiritual object that pointed directly to the Nascent Soul stage out of thin air...

Why did their Dao hearts suffer damage, and why did they end up in such a state when they formed their core?

The atmosphere in the hall grew even heavier in response to the two men's questions.

The sect leader looked at them and took a deep breath.

He didn't hide anything, but calmly stated a fact that was enough to make the two of them completely despair.

"Li Han had already formed his core thirty years ago."

The sect leader's tone carried a complex mix of emotions.

"Not only has he formed his core?"

"Moreover, what it produced was the legendary first-grade golden elixir."

This statement came out.

Not only Lin Wan'er and Chu Tiankuo, but also the dozen or so Golden Core elders sitting on both sides, including Su Yu, were all deeply shaken.

First-grade Golden Elixir!

That was a perfect golden elixir that perfectly conformed to the laws of heaven and earth and had no flaws.

Such a rank is extremely rare, appearing only once in thousands of years throughout the entire history of the Southern Wilderness cultivation world.

Anyone who forms a first-grade golden core will almost certainly reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future, provided they do not die young.

Everyone knows that Li Han's ability to form a first-grade golden core must be due to the complete assimilation of the supreme inheritance of the Nascent Soul expert in the Great Desolate Secret Realm.

But that was originally their opportunity!

Instantly, intense hatred and resentment ignited in Chu Tiankuo's eyes.

"Sect Master! This traitor has stolen our sect's fortune! This disciple is willing to lead the elite of the Enforcement Hall to skin him alive..."

That's enough.

The sect leader coldly interrupted Chu Tiankuo's request to fight, his tone extremely ruthless.

"The sect has withdrawn all bounties and arrest warrants for Li Han."

Seeing the incredulous looks on their faces, the sect leader snorted coldly, his voice revealing an extreme helplessness towards reality.

"Do you think the sect hasn't sent people to hunt him down all these years?"

"Not only our Cangxuan Sect, but also the Blood Shadow Sect, the seven hidden families, and even several rogue Nascent Soul cultivators are secretly looking for him."

"But not only did he not die, he grew stronger with each battle."

The sect leader threw several jade slips containing battle reports directly at Chu Tiankuo's feet.

"He was besieged seventeen times in thirty years."

"Every time it was a desperate situation, and every time he was able to unleash combat power far exceeding that of his peers."

"He single-handedly killed three Golden Core stage elders of the Blood Shadow Sect in Death Soul Valley."

"The two Golden Core stage elders that our Cangxuan Sect went to hunt down were also robbed of their natal magic treasures and died on the spot."

"His escape technique is extremely strange. Not only does he have a broken Xuan Tian spiritual treasure protecting him, but it also seems that some ancient remnant soul is secretly guiding him."

"Now that he has reached the first-grade Golden Core stage, no one can kill him unless the Nascent Soul Ancestor takes action."

"Once the Nascent Soul Ancestor makes a move, it will inevitably attract the intervention of other sects, and may even trigger a war in the Southern Wilderness."

The sect leader looked at Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er and sighed.

"An enemy that is unkillable and whose potential is terrifying beyond measure, if we cannot completely annihilate it with overwhelming force, then the only option is to reconcile or give up."

"Not only the Cangxuan Sect, but also the Blood Shadow Sect and other forces have secretly withdrawn their arrest warrants."

"This is reality!"

The sect leader's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er's last bit of desire for revenge.

Resentment, anger, and shame.

But in the face of absolute power and the interests of their sects, their personal hatred is worthless.

Su Yu sat to the side, observing everything with a cold eye.

He remained silent, and showed no jealousy towards Li Han's first-grade golden core.

He was acutely aware that this was the true value of being a chosen one.

They can't be killed, and they can't be trapped.

All crises will eventually become nourishment for his growth.
