Chapter 302: Coming Out of Seclusion

The start of the Golden Age benefited many Cultivators.

For Yao Beasts with powerful Bloodline, successfully breeding offspring is extremely difficult.

For powerful Cultivators, how to make offspring perfectly inherit their cultivation talent is also a difficulty.

However, with the start of the Golden Age, it didn’t take long for various royal blood and atavistic second-generation Yao Beasts to be born like bamboo shoots after rain.

Various divine body phenomena also appeared throughout the Tian Yuan World with the birth of one newborn after another.

The Tian Yuan World ushered in the best era. This was not only reflected in the new generation; for the older generation, the arrival of the Golden Age also caused their Bottleneck to loosen.

The number one sword sect in the Ancient Kingdom, Heaven Sword Gate.

One of the Old Ancestors, the Sword Ancestor, had been at the Void Profound Peak Bottleneck for a thousand years, unable to break through. Finally, in the third year of the Golden Age, he cut through this Bottleneck and became the first Cultivator to successfully reach the Asking Dao stage in a thousand years.

The reason Heaven Sword Gate was the second largest sect in the Ancient Kingdom, and not the first, was because the Spirit Dao Sect had a Dao Inquiry Stage Old Ancestor, while the Heaven Sword Gate’s Dao Inquiry Stage Old Ancestor had long since passed away. But now, in terms of top-tier combat power, the two sides were finally evenly matched.

Additionally, because of the Sword Ancestor’s Breakthrough, many old monsters were stimulated. Under the backdrop of this Golden Age, they began to seclude themselves and Cultivate to death. For a time, few of the older generation of Cultivators appeared in public. Because of the appearance of the qi luck gold list, the continent gradually became a paradise for Prodigies of various races to compete for Luck.

The Sword Ancestor’s Personal Disciple, Cold Moon Sword Immortal, also because of the Golden Age, luckily became the only successor of a Dao Inquiry Sword Cultivator on the continent. Although she had only just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, she still relied on her unrivaled sharpness to ascend the qi luck gold list.

The heirs of various major forces, in order to become the protagonists of the era, began to travel and challenge everywhere on the continent with the goal of improving their strength and plundering the Luck of other Prodigies.

The older generation in seclusion, the new generation roaming the world, competing for Luck—this became the main theme of this Golden Age.

Against this background, countless stunning rumors were born on the continent every moment. As a result, five years after the start of the Golden Age, the protagonist of that sensational event in Qingzhou was no longer the most discussed protagonist of the era.

Except for… inside the Demon Court.

“Your Majesty, has the Saint not come out of seclusion yet?”

“It has been five years. The Saint has been in seclusion for five years. Could there be an accident?”

“The Saint has the Longevity Physique, so his cultivation speed is slow. It has only been five years, what are you anxious about? Your current task is to expand the Demon Court’s territory in Qingzhou. When the time comes, when the Saint comes out of seclusion, this Emperor will naturally reward you based on your merits.”

The Demon Emperor waved his hand, dismissing the veteran races of the Demon Court as usual.

Ever since the Yao Race revived, more and more Yao Beasts wanted to join the Demon Court, but the Demon Court did not accept everyone. The intention of these Yao Beast races to join the Demon Court was almost all to transform into the Yao Race.

But the problem was that the production capacity of Shapeshifting Grass and Transformation Pill was severely insufficient. Even within the Demon Court, they could not achieve an even distribution. Yao Beast races who wanted to join the Demon Court to get a share of the soup naturally had to undergo strict screening.

“It should be soon, right?” The Demon Emperor looked in the direction where Lin Jing was.

In this Golden Age, even she felt the possibility of reaching a higher level. Although the Longevity Physique Cultivates slowly, there was no reason for it to take this long.

Meanwhile.

Immortal Prison Mountain.

At this moment, Lin Jing’s territory had become a veritable Immortal Prison, because the underground of this entire mountain had been built into a prison for detaining Yao Beasts.

Over the past few years, Mosquito Woman had strictly followed Lin Jing’s instructions, leading countless mosquito swarms to capture an unknown number of Yao Beasts alive, sealing them under this mountain, waiting for Lin Jing to come out of seclusion to refine them into pills.

As for Lin Jing himself, almost no one knew that he had actually successfully broken through to the Golden Core one year ago. Lin Jing himself did not expect that it only took him four years to break through from Foundation Establishment Perfection to the Golden Core Early Stage. After all, it took him ten years to go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

This resulted in him not daring to make the Breakthrough in the Hourglass of Time. After all, one could only stay in the Hourglass of Time for ten years at a time. If he could not break through within ten years, the Hourglass of Time would forcibly teleport him out, which would inevitably interfere with his progress and lead to a failed Breakthrough.

Therefore, he chose to make the Breakthrough in the outside world. But who would have known that it only took four years.

But thinking about it carefully, it was because the preparations at that time were not sufficient, while now, not only were the preparations sufficient, but there was also the blessing of the Golden Age, which was reasonable.

However, after breaking through to the Golden Core, Lin Jing was still unwilling to have not mastered the Heavenly Demon Body, so he cultivated bitterly in the Hourglass of Time for another ten years. Using a portion of the Potential Dragon Luck he had obtained previously, he upgraded the Spells and Divine Abilities he had learned, as well as those he had not yet learned, once again.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon Body he wanted to master the most was still not mastered. Fortunately, in other aspects, there had been quite a harvest during these ten years in the sandglass.

Among these ten years, there were three biggest gains.

One, Physical Body.

Once at the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing and Divine Pine had divided up several spirit seeds. Because these spirit seeds were obtained in the Immortal Palace Cave Heaven, even from the current perspective of Lin Jing, the Demon Court Holy Son, their effects were extremely powerful.

After the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Azure Emperor Longevity Art reached Perfection, it had now matured them all.

Lin Jing directly took the Cloud Hidden Ghost Orchid, the nemesis of Heart Demon, so that even if he killed countless people and lived for ten thousand years, he would not go crazy due to Heart Demon.

The Nine Yang Divine Mushroom could allow fire and yang attribute Cultivators to directly increase a hundred years of cultivation, significantly increasing their cultivation with no side effects and a solid Foundation. Lin Jing threw this one to the Dragon Carp, so after Lin Jing broke through to the Golden Core, its cultivation directly rose to the Golden Core Peak.

Originally, according to the judgment of Senior Divine Pine, this Nine Yang Divine Mushroom was enough to allow the Dragon Carp to advance to the Nascent Soul, but at that time the Dragon Carp only had a King-level Bloodline. Now it was close to an Ancestral Bloodline, and it could withstand stronger magic power, so the Dragon Carp was still one step away from the Nascent Soul realm.

However, in terms of strength, it was absolutely capable of fighting a Nascent Soul Yao King across levels.

And the most important one, the Nine Lives Exquisite Grass, could obtain extremely strong self-healing ability, known as the body of nine lives.

Lin Jing took it himself.

After taking the Nine Lives Exquisite Grass, Lin Jing immediately took out the Lei Long Scale Blood and used the Dragon Carp’s Heavenly Thunder Flame and the Ice Gu’s tribulation thunder power to temper his body.

Under the tempering of thunder and fire, Lin Jing’s physique approached that of a Dragon Clan Prodigy after a period of time. Even though his magic power cultivation was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, his physical strength was already comparable to that of a Thunder Dragon Clan Prodigy at the Golden Core Great Perfection realm.

In other words, now, even without using any defensive means, Lin Jing could resist the attack Divine Abilities of most Golden Core Stage Cultivators relying solely on his Physical Body without getting injured. Even if he was injured, with his self-healing ability, he could recover immediately.

And this was not Lin Jing’s biggest gain.

His second big gain was the Golden Core Divine Ability he conceived: the Divine Control Technique.
