Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Chapter 88 Golden Core Breakthrough 8 - Boundary Inviolability

The night was as dark as ink, the Milky Way shone brightly, and the Eternal Immortal Abode was firmly protected by the Eternal Chang'an Realm. The spirit lamps twinkled, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone in the academy was fast asleep, their breathing even and peaceful, without dreams or disturbances. The gentle spiritual energy from the spiritual food and the scholarly atmosphere of the study flowed slowly within their bodies, causing their cultivation to steadily and naturally improve. Even their dreams were filled with peaceful and serene scenes.

The white jade rhinoceros lay docilely beneath the central stone platform, keeping watch. The spirit butterfly folded its wings and rested on the spirit bamboo. The only sounds in the entire cave were the tinkling of the spirit spring and the rustling of the bamboo leaves, like the most peaceful lullaby in the world.

Qin Lin sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform, eyes closed in meditation. Not a trace of spiritual energy leaked from his body; only the power of the peak seventh level of the Golden Core realm flowed quietly within him, perfectly merging with the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein and the Eternal Chang'an Realm. Nourished by the exquisite culinary arts of the daytime spiritual kitchen and cultivated by the literary atmosphere of the Spirit Bamboo Study, the bottleneck of the eighth level of the Golden Core realm in his heart was as thin as a cicada's wing. With just a slight opportunity, he could break through completely.

His spiritual sense gently swept across the entire courtyard, confirming that everyone was sound asleep and there was nothing unusual within the cave. He then withdrew his spiritual sense, merging his mind with the heavens and earth, becoming one with the cave. Without arrogance or impatience, without haste, for him, breakthroughs were never earth-shattering feats, but simply a natural step on the path to immortality.

As night deepened, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reached its peak. Starlight descended, flowing through the Eternal Chang'an Realm and into the Eternal Immortal Mansion, merging with the Heavenly Dao's spiritual veins to form a unique stellar spiritual energy. Qin Lindong slowly opened his eyes. There was no burst of golden light within them, only a deep and peaceful expanse, like the starry sky that encompasses all things.

Within his dantian, the golden core's rotation speed subtly accelerated. Golden Dao patterns seemed to come alive, roaming the surface of the golden core. Stellar spiritual energy, Heavenly Dao spiritual energy, and Cave Heaven spiritual energy merged together, surging wildly into the golden core like rivers flowing into the sea. The Undying Battle Body operated at full power, its physical strength breaking through the original limit of the Golden Core realm, laying the most solid foundation for breaking through to the eighth level of the Golden Core realm.

There was no roar, no strange phenomenon, no tremor.

Everything was quiet and natural, and things fell into place naturally.

hum-

A faint Daoist chant resounded in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the eighth layer of Daoist patterns on his Golden Core fully illuminated. The Golden Core expanded slightly, and its aura became increasingly warm, profound, and unfathomable. A vast power far exceeding the seventh level of the Golden Core slowly swept over his entire body, permeating every corner of the cave, yet it did not disturb anyone or break the tranquility in the slightest.

The eighth level of golden elixir!

breakthrough!

A glint flashed in Qin Lin's eyes before returning to calm. His cultivation at the eighth level of the Golden Core realm was absolutely invincible in Qinglan Prefecture. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be no match for him. His Undying Battle Body had achieved absolute defense below the Nascent Soul realm, and the Eternal Chang'an Realm, empowered by his power, was further elevated.

[Ding! Host has successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Core realm, advancing further on the Great Dao, and the Eternal Chang'an Realm has reached its complete perfection!]

[Eternal Immortal Abode Advancement: Top-Grade Grotto-Heaven → Supreme Grotto-Heaven, Living as Long as Heaven and Earth, Impervious to All Daos]

[Eternal Chang'an Realm Upgrade: The realm is impervious to invasion; all attacks below the Nascent Soul and Transformation God levels are ineffective, isolating it from all external prying eyes, conflicts, and dangers.]

[Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein Advancement: Supreme Spiritual Vein, automatically drawing upon the power of the stars, doubling the quality of spiritual energy and doubling the cultivation speed]

[All members' Eternal Immortal Physique Upgraded Again: Immortal, Undying, Unborn, Undying, Eternal Dao Foundation, Unparalleled Talent]

[All members' cultivation level automatically increases by one minor realm]

[Reward to the host: The early stage of the eighth level of the Golden Core realm has been stabilized to the middle stage, gaining the recognition of heaven and earth. Qinglan Prefecture and even the three surrounding prefectures regard the Eternal Immortal Mansion as an unparalleled forbidden land, and no one dares to trespass upon it.]

The system notification sound, carrying the supreme Daoist aura, fell, causing the entire grotto-heaven to tremble slightly, yet remaining utterly silent. The spiritual fields and valleys automatically emitted golden light, the spiritual lakes and liquids shimmered with starlight, the literary energy of the spiritual bamboo study merged with the power of the stars, and the fragrance of the spiritual kitchen lingered night after night. The aura of this supreme grotto-heaven was restrained and understated, completely integrated with heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, everyone in the entire ward, fast asleep, felt a gentle power flowing into their bodies during their dreams. Their cultivation levels automatically broke through, without any discomfort or disturbance, and they continued to sleep soundly and sweetly.

He Yuzhu: Early stage of Golden Core → Mid stage of Golden Core!

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong: Late Foundation Establishment → Peak Foundation Establishment!

Qin Huairu: Peak Foundation Establishment → Early Golden Core Stage!

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua: Late Foundation Establishment → Peak Foundation Establishment!

Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, Jia Geng: Mid-Foundation Establishment → Late-Foundation Establishment!

Overnight, two more Golden Core cultivators were added to the Immortal Abode. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu both stepped into the Golden Core stage, becoming the second most powerful cultivators in the Immortal Abode after Qin Lindong. The cultivation of everyone in the abode improved once again, but they still remained true to their original aspirations and remained peaceful.

Eight thousand miles away, all sects, demonic beasts, and rogue cultivators in Qinglan Prefecture and even the surrounding three prefectures felt an unparalleled majesty emanating from heaven and earth at this moment, as if the Dao itself had descended. All cultivators prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear, while all demonic beasts cowered in their lairs, daring not to utter a sound. Within the three prefectures, the area where the Eternal Immortal Mansion was located was automatically designated as an unparalleled forbidden zone, forbidden to approach by generations, lest violators be punished by heaven.

The sect leader of Qinglan Sect was already terrified and his whole body turned ice-cold. He ordered the entire sect to go into seclusion for a hundred years, forbidding anyone from mentioning the word "forbidden land" or even peeking into it. He was to completely sever ties with the Eternal Immortal Mansion and seek only to protect himself and others.

None of this disturbed the peaceful slumber of the Eternal Immortal Abode.

Qin Lindong stood up, walked slowly to the edge of the cave, raised his hand and gently touched the Eternal Chang'an Realm. A warm yet firm power emanated from his fingertips. The realm was inviolable, invincible below the Nascent Soul stage. From now on, let alone rogue cultivators or demonic beasts, even if the Nascent Soul patriarchs of the top sects of the three states came in person, they would not be able to break through this barrier or disturb the peace of this cave.

His spiritual sense expanded to ten thousand miles, covering the territory of three states, but he merely glanced at it before withdrawing it back into his grotto-heaven. The rise and fall, strife, battles, and changes in the outside world were all irrelevant to him; in his eyes, there was only this supreme grotto-heaven, and only the people sleeping peacefully in this prefecture.

As dawn broke and the first rays of starlight shone down, the Eternal Immortal Abode was bathed in the spiritual energy of the stars, appearing even more ancient and sacred. One by one, the people of the academy awoke, feeling the surge of power within them and their immortal constitution. They were all surprised and delighted, yet remained calm and composed, and came to the central stone platform, bowing respectfully in unison.

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, you have broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Core stage!"

"Thank you for your protection, Immortal Lord! My grotto-heaven has been elevated once more!"

Their voices were clear and respectful, filled with gratitude, yet without a trace of impatience. They had long understood that the Immortal Lord's power was solely to protect their safety, and the advancement of the Immortal Palace was only to ensure their eternal peace.

Qin Lindong stood on the stone platform, his voice calm and gentle: "From this day forward, the Eternal Immortal Abode will be an unparalleled grotto-heaven, inviolable by any boundary, revered by the three continents, and its inhabitants will be immortal and eternally peaceful. In the years to come, there will be no need for deliberate cultivation, no need to worry about storms, just live as you please and live peacefully."

"We will obey the Immortal Lord's decree!" Everyone responded in unison, their hearts filled with happiness and peace.

Feeling the power of the mid-stage Golden Core realm, He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Immortal Lord, I am now also in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. I will have more confidence in protecting the Immortal Mansion in the future!" Qin Huairu, now in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, had an increasingly ethereal and otherworldly temperament. She smiled gently and said, "With the Immortal Lord here, we will always be the most secure."

Bang Geng San Tong, now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, possessed considerable cultivation at such a young age, yet remained innocent and carefree: "Immortal Lord, we still want to go to the study to read, and we still want to eat the spiritual food prepared by Master He!" Yan Bu Gui and Liu Hai Zhong, both at the peak of Foundation Establishment, were increasingly robust, their faces beaming with smiles: "From now on, we will study in the Immortal Mansion, manage the spiritual fields, and enjoy a long and peaceful life." The four members of the Jia family, in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, were content and obedient, their eyes calm and satisfied, their lives complete.

The white jade rhinoceros let out a cheerful chirp, its body grew larger once more, and its power as a spirit pet reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm. It became a loyal guardian of the immortal abode, yet remained gentle and affectionate towards its family.

Today, everyone in the academy continues to enjoy themselves, without labor or forced labor. Children run to the Spirit Bamboo Study to recite poems and books; He Yuzhu enters the Spirit Kitchen to cook Star Spirit Dishes; Qin Huairu picks spirit fruits and keeps the children company; the elderly chat and stroll, enjoying the warm sunshine; the Jia family of four sits quietly in meditation, living a peaceful life.

Qin Lindong stood with his hands behind his back on the shore of the Spirit Lake, watching the starlight shimmer on the lake surface and the spirit fish swimming freely, his heart filled with perfect contentment. The power of the mid-stage eighth level of the Golden Core realm merged with heaven and earth, the supreme grotto-heaven was peaceful and undisturbed, the eternal Chang'an Realm isolated him from all dangers, and his family was forever by his side. This was the path to immortality that he pursued.

The three surrounding states held it in awe, as if it were the heavens, and dared not even peek into it;

Within the celestial abode, time passed peacefully and tranquilly.

Once the Golden Core is broken through to the eighth level, the realm becomes unassailable.

The forbidden lands of the three states, the immortal abode forever.

Not coveting divine power, nor greedy for hegemony,

They guarded only one prefecture, ensuring peace and tranquility year after year.
