After carefully reviewing the data on his game panel, Ye Lin was also extremely satisfied with this breakthrough in his cultivation.
After this breakthrough, his primary changes were as follows:
First, after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, his Golden Core was a stellar star, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth contained within it far exceeded that of other Golden Core Stage cultivators.
After all, the spiritual power that an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could store in their dantian was generally only the size of a small river. More talented geniuses might have one as large as a great river, or even a lake or a vast marsh.
But no matter what, they could not compare to Ye Lin's stellar star. Furthermore, Ye Lin possessed the 【Endless Dantian】 trait, and his dantian was still steadily expanding every day.
Second was the disparity in strength after his breakthrough. Ye Lin's base combat power had directly reached 50,000,000 jin, whereas other ordinary Golden Core cultivators only had between 300,000 and 2,000,000 jin. Even the more talented geniuses would find it difficult to reach 10,000,000 jin.
Compared to Ye Lin, other cultivators of the same stage were still far behind in terms of base strength.
Of course, combat in the Golden Core Stage was already a contest of various means, such as spells, weapons, trump cards, the Momentum of Heaven and Earth, and so on, and was not limited to direct clashes of raw strength.
But when it came to these, Ye Lin could also utterly crush any Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Especially the Momentum of Heaven and Earth, which was actually one's control over various attributes. He now possessed God-grade fire attribute, darkness attribute, and water attribute control, as well as the Law of Stars and the Law of the Thunder Path.
Trying to compete with him in the Momentum of Heaven and Earth was truly suicidal.
The final change was his lifespan after the breakthrough. Other Golden Core Stage cultivators only had a bit over a thousand years of lifespan, while he directly had twenty thousand years, still leading by a massive margin in this aspect.
Of course, aside from the above changes, after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, he could also walk and fly through the air without using any divine abilities.
But with the zero-cost 【Forced Swap】 trait, why would he waste spiritual power to travel slowly?
In addition, the power of his divine soul in his mental sea was already as vast as a great river or a marsh.
It was no exaggeration to say that his soul power could crush any Golden Core cultivator of the same stage, utterly dominate the soul of any Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and he could even kick a powerhouse of the Soul Emergence Stage's soul a few times.
One had to know that soul power was universally acknowledged as one of the most difficult forces to cultivate, its difficulty being dozens of times greater than ordinary cultivation.
Yet, he was able to cultivate all three—his soul power, his physical blood qi, and his dantian spiritual power—to the Golden Core Stage extreme in tandem.
This was all thanks to the help of the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart. Of course, the ones he should thank the most were the other races and his dear evil spirit family members, who had risked their lives for him.
If he hadn't wiped out all his evil spirit friends within the borders of the Tianyuan Dynasty, how could he have accumulated enough soul power to make this breakthrough?
Thus, this time, the evil spirits were still the MVPs.
Once he went beyond the Tianyuan Imperial Dynasty, he would treat other evil spirits with even more severe fatherly love.
One last thing worth mentioning was that because of his Golden Core...
These were basically all the changes in himself after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
As for his promotion to a Tier 6 Child of Fortune, that was entirely thanks to the inner demon delivering itself to him, so there was nothing much to say.
After checking his changes, he waved his hand and immediately opened the two new achievements he had just obtained.
[Ding! The special achievement gift pack has been opened. Congratulations on obtaining the trait ‘Supreme of Formations’.
Once equipped with this trait, you will be the favored darling of heaven and earth in the path of formations. No matter how difficult a formation is, you will be able to learn it at a glance, and your proficiency will automatically reach the maximum level upon learning.
In addition, all negative effects of formations on you will be reduced by 90%.]
[Ding! The God-grade reward has been opened. Congratulations on obtaining a God-grade Spiritual Root Attribute Creation Pill. After consuming this Creation Pill, you can randomly gain an attribute that you do not currently possess in your Spiritual Root.]
As the two game notifications rang, a trait and a Spiritual Root Attribute Creation Pill appeared before Ye Lin.
“I was originally planning to study formations after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, but with this trait, it seems I can save more time for other things.
“Furthermore, this God-grade Spiritual Root Attribute Creation Pill came at a wonderful time. It's perfect for continuing to complete my Incomplete Chaos Spiritual Root.”
Looking at the two newly unlocked rewards, Ye Lin couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Then, without any hesitation, he directly bound the 【Supreme of Formations】 trait to his true spirit.
“Boom!”
The moment he bound the trait, a supreme rule power of formations immediately entered his mental sea. It felt as though, under this power, the mysteries of all great formations in the world would be instantly analyzed.
After binding the trait, he used his 【Random Replication】 trait to replicate that single God-grade Spiritual Root Attribute Creation Pill a thousandfold.
With a total of 1,001 God-grade Creation Pills, he stuffed them into his mouth by the handful as if they were jellybeans.
[Ding! It has been detected that you are consuming the God-grade Spiritual Root Attribute Creation Pill. The ‘Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness’ trait has been activated, and all your medicinal power is accumulating at a hundredfold rate.]
As he swallowed the Creation Pills mouthful after mouthful, the 【Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness】 trait also activated on its own.
In the blink of an eye, over half a month passed. After this half-month of consuming and refining, in addition to the five element Spiritual Roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the Sword Spiritual Root, the Thunder Spiritual Root, and the Darkness Spiritual Root, a new attribute had appeared within his Chaos Spiritual Root: the rare Space Spiritual Root.
Moreover, because he had consumed so many God-grade Creation Pills, coupled with the hundredfold enhancement of the 【Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness】 trait, he directly obtained his fourth God-grade control: God-grade space control.
Just like God-grade darkness control, God-grade space control also allowed him to control a domain.
Within this domain, he could perform space cutting, space collapse, space blockade and folding, and even space destruction. The lethality of this was hard to even estimate.
In short, he had gained another heaven-defying trump card.
Having done all this, he finally had time to inspect the resources he had plundered from the ancestral treasury of the Blackwater Serpent Clan.
Since he was inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda, he could break all the special restrictions on those resources with a simple wave of his hand.
Thus, inspecting them was naturally very convenient. Of course, to use the Cauldron of Creation to upgrade the grades of his Power of the Moon and Power of the Sun earlier, over ten billion spirit stones had already been taken out, replicated, and consumed.
However, the treasury of the Blackwater Serpent Clan did not contain only spirit stones; there were also millions of other items, such as spiritual weapons, natural treasures, various pills, secret manuals, spells, and so on.
Among these spoils, anything that could be replicated was subjected to a thousandfold replication using his trait.
Once he sold this batch of resources, his empty treasury, which was short of nearly a hundred billion low-grade spirit stones, would be replenished once again.
Among these treasures, the one that surprised Ye Lin the most was a particular item.
[Item: Heaven-Cleaving Soil of Life
Grade: Special Item, No Grade
Description: A piece of soil born in chaos. It can expand or shrink. As long as there is a broken branch, without the need for seeds, it can guarantee a 100% success rate in growing the same kind of precious medicinal herb. Furthermore, the precious herb requires no care to grow, and its growth rate is 1,000 times that of other soils.]
After reading the description of this treasure, Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh.
Coincidentally, he was about to cultivate the 《Eternal Undying Scripture》 next, and this cultivation method required the assistance of Divine Aperture Pills, which also required at least a Saint-grade Alchemist to refine.
The medicinal herbs required to refine the Divine Aperture Pill were incredibly rare, but with this ‘Heaven-Cleaving Soil of Life’, he only needed to gather a single set of ingredients to cultivate them continuously, ensuring he would never run out.
The Blackwater Serpent Clan had truly done him a massive favor this time.
