While the Blackwater Serpent Clan was in a state of exasperated rage, Ye Lin had already returned to the Tianyuan Cultivation Academy through the teleportation portal.
This marvelous journey of looting an other-race treasury had been quite thrilling. He decided that in the future, as long as any other race provoked him, he would use the 【Seeking Wealth in Danger】 trait to target and pay a visit to their treasuries.
However, while it had been satisfying this time, there was one minor regret: he hadn't been able to use the 《Unmoving Immortal King Body》 or the 【Escape from Death's Door】 trait.
“Forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities to use them in the future. There's no need to obsess over it now.”
Shaking his head and murmuring softly, he entered the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda with a single thought.
Arriving at the Sovereign Heaven dojo, he sat cross-legged and first opened the Immortal-grade achievement reward he had just received.
【Item: Power of the Sun
Grade: Immortal-grade
Description: Like the Power of the Moon, it is a part of the innate dual qi, capable of helping a cultivator forge an immortal-grade foundation.】
The description was quite good. With just a glance, Ye Lin activated the 【Random Replication】 trait without hesitation, replicating it a thousandfold.
Then, he circulated his cultivation method, drew out the final trace of lunar power from the Lunar Lotus Platform, and replicated it a thousandfold in the same manner.
Having done all of this, his pre-requisite quests for the Golden Core Stage were considered fully complete.
Quest one: The core-fusing spiritual material must reach the quasi-immortal-grade. He now possessed the Power of the Sun.
Quest two: Kill a Nascent Soul True Monarch. He had already slain True Monarch Queyue.
Quest three: Possess ordinary Extreme Realm combat strength and one law. He currently possessed Taboo-grade combat strength, as well as the Law of Stars and the Law of the Thunder Path, exceeding the requirements.
As for the ten-year time limit, he had only used a few days, which was also far exceeding expectations.
However, to maximize the rewards to the absolute limit, he did not submit the quest immediately.
After all, the grades of the lunar power and the Power of the Sun had not yet met his expectations.
“Boom!”
Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and brought out the Cauldron of Creation along with a mountain of spirit stones and magic crystals.
First of all, the Cauldron of Creation's current grade was only equivalent to a common Immortal-grade. It was definitely unable to nurture God-grade or even Heavenly Dao-grade treasures.
Therefore, he had to first use a large amount of resources to restore this treasure. After all, this item was once a quasi-Dao-grade supreme treasure just like the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda. As long as there were enough resources, it would recover very quickly.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Spirit stones and magic crystals were consumed by the millions at a visible rate. The cracks on the Cauldron of Creation began to emit a faint, dim glow.
Then, the cracks upon it began to heal slowly, like closing wounds.
Time flew by like a white horse passing a crevice. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
Every single moment during this period, the Cauldron of Creation was frantically absorbing spirit stones and magic crystals to restore itself.
Originally possessing over eighty billion magic crystals, more than two trillion low-grade spirit stones, and over seventeen billion high-grade spirit stones, Ye Lin had felt filthy rich. He believed he could easily restore the Cauldron of Creation to the Heavenly Dao-grade with these resources.
Unfortunately, as the resources were consumed faster and faster, he began to feel a bit uneasy.
But fortunately, he had just looted the treasury of the Blackwater Serpent Clan's ancestral land. Although the cultivation resources inside could not compare to those in the Blackwater Serpent Clan's treasury in the Sacred Domain, they were still incredibly abundant.
After sorting through it, he obtained over ten billion spirit stones alone.
Then, after replicating this ten billion-plus with his trait, it instantly surged a thousandfold, reaching over ten trillion.
With so many resources in hand, his mind finally felt much more at ease.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, the Cauldron of Creation rose from a common immortal artifact all the way to a divine weapon, finally restoring itself to a Heavenly Dao-grade supreme treasure.
After the Cauldron of Creation restored its Heavenly Dao-grade, Ye Lin quickly made it stop absorbing resources to continue recovering. After all, he still had the lunar power and the Power of the Sun to upgrade to the Heavenly Dao-grade, so he could not let this fellow consume any more resources.
Buzz, buzz!
As he threw the lunar power and the Power of the Sun into the Cauldron of Creation, he began another long period of waiting.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days or so passed inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
The foundation of the lunar power and the Power of the Sun could not compare to that of the Cauldron of Creation, so the time and resources required to upgrade them to the Heavenly Dao-grade were far less than the former.
“Whew, it's finally done.”
Ye Lin, who had been diligently practicing his sword dao in the distance every day, saw that the two powers had upgraded to the Heavenly Dao-grade. He immediately sheathed his sword and walked over.
“Boom!”
Now that these two supreme powers had upgraded to the Heavenly Dao-grade, they naturally possessed their own consciousness. Knowing that Ye Lin wanted to refine them as core-fusing spiritual materials, they were extremely unwilling.
But Ye Lin had spent a massive amount of resources to raise their foundation to the Heavenly Dao-grade. How could he allow them to resist?
Inside this Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda, he was the heavens, the invincible existence.
So with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the lunar power and the Power of the Sun in his grip, and then began to submit his pre-requisite quests for the Golden Core Stage.
【Ding! Congratulations, your final evaluation for this quest has reached the Perfect grade. Your breakthrough will be 100% successful. You may choose whether to undergo the Taboo Tribulation trial. After breaking through, you will receive a Blessing of Heaven and Earth.】
Just as he submitted the pre-requisite quests, the game notification rang in his ears.
Seeing that the final evaluation had reached the Perfect grade, Ye Lin could not help but smile.
Last time, the Blessing of Heaven and Earth had granted him such an awesome ability like the 'Lotus of Reverting Life'. What kind of heaven-defying skill would it be this time?
With anticipation in his heart, he immediately circulated his cultivation method and began to pour all the blood qi he had accumulated during this period onto the Dao seed sapling.
【Ding! It is detected that you are refining a massive amount of blood qi. The trait 'Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness' has activated on its own, increasing your refining efficiency by 100 times.
Your status as an Academy elite disciple grants you a 50% bonus to refining speed. Your status as a Creation Dao Palace handyman disciple grants you a 2,000% bonus to refining speed.
The Heaven-Swallowing Bead increases your refining speed by 50 times. The Chaos Physique increases your refining speed by 100 times...】
The moment Ye Lin began to circulate his cultivation method to refine the blood qi and irrigate the Dao seed sapling, various buffs that could accelerate refinement were instantly applied to his body.
With so many buffs active, his already incredibly fast refining speed instantly shot up like a rocket.
Boom, boom, boom!
It was as if a black hole had formed inside his body, and a massive amount of blood qi was being absorbed by him in huge sweeps.
With the irrigation of the massive blood qi, the Dao seed sapling also began to grow slowly. Not only that, but among the three leaves, the one representing the Sea of Blood Qi was also emitting a strange glow.
In cultivation, one loses track of time. Another twenty-plus days quietly slipped away.
After more than twenty days of absorption, the Dao seed sapling had grown into a Dao seed tree over a meter tall. The three leaves had each taken over a branch, and the original leaves had transformed into three scrolls.
At this moment, because the blood qi had been completely filled, the scroll representing the Sea of Blood Qi was surrounded by hundreds of blood-red leaves. The Sea of Blood Qi within the scroll surged violently, presenting a terrifying sight.
“Next, it's time to fill the Sea of Spiritual Power and the mental sea.”
Taking a deep breath, Ye Lin immediately took out the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart and began to absorb the pure soul power she had obtained from refining evil spirit souls during this period.
