Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Divine Nation, Void Divine Realm.

The Sea-Calming Divine Needle, Li Hanqiu, from the Nine Cauldrons Sect appeared in this space.

He stared at this space for a while, speechless for a long time.

Until...

"Great Uncle Master."

Li Qingshan said, "Alkaid has arrived."

Li Hanqiu turned around.

Alkaid had seen the pillar of the Nine Cauldrons Sect in many images and recognized him immediately, "True Person."

"It's our Nine Cauldrons Sect that has let you down."

Li Hanqiu looked at him and sighed.

Li Qingshan was stunned, then as if a suspicion in his heart had finally been confirmed, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"If it weren't for our Nine Cauldrons Sect being too weak and not yet climate, why would we not even dare to break through the Dharma Image Realm?"

Alkaid wasn't surprised that the Golden Core True Person, Li Hanqiu, could see through his cultivation realm at a glance.

Body Refinement, Qi Cultivation, and Divine Cultivation are merely different directions, but often once one reaches a certain realm, there are commonalities among the three.

"Thank you for your concern, True Person, but I feel pretty good about my current situation."

Alkaid said, pausing in his speech, "Had I been in another sect, I might not have had such a relaxed environment for cultivation and growth."

Li Hanqiu listened, sighed in his heart, but also felt some relief, "It's a blessing for our sect to have a genius like you join and receive significant support."

"You flatter me."

Alkaid said.

"I'm speaking the truth. With your talent in Divine Cultivation, it's truly unprecedented. Moreover, with high talent in Divine Cultivation, you can in the future focus on Divine Cultivation while incorporating Body Refinement and Qi Cultivation, thus entering the true Golden Core Realm."

Li Hanqiu said.

"The true Golden Core Realm?"

Alkaid was moved, and quickly asked the question in his heart, "I've always heard that Golden Cores in this era are extremely unstable, with all kinds of flaws. Is this true?"

"It has spread so widely it can't be concealed anymore, it couldn't be faked even if we wanted to."

Li Hanqiu said, "Our generation's so-called Golden Core evolution cannot be separated from the invasion of the Moon Demon Empire. But back then, the situation didn't allow us to hesitate. Even though we knew the path we took was extremely dire, we had no choice but to continue."

After saying this, he looked at Alkaid, "But you are different. You still have time. You can do it step by step, building a solid foundation to lay the groundwork for becoming a true Golden Core in the future."

"A firm foundation, does that mean Immortal Foundation?"

Alkaid asked.

"Immortal Foundation is one aspect, while Body Refinement and Divine Cultivation are another."

Li Hanqiu said, "A truly perfect Golden Core Realm requires cultivators to not only have a solid foundation but also strong physiques and spirits! With a Star God Level physique as the vessel, furious True Yuan as the energy source, and a Divine Sense powerful enough to twist the fabric of chaos and bind the Fusion Fire within the body to form a true Golden Core nucleus. Only then can such a Golden Core be truly stable and controlled."

Saying this, he paused, "And not like us who rely entirely on powerful formations to control, oppress, and stabilize our power. Once we leave a formation for a long time, it's easy for the Golden Core to be out of control and, if not handled well… it can explode instantly, turning into a cluster of light that illuminates the starry sky."

Alkaid was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"One must practice Body Refinement, Qi Cultivation, and Divine Cultivation all together to stabilize their Golden Core!? But even those in today's world who have built an Immortal Foundation don't necessarily place much emphasis on physique and Divine Cultivation..."

"Because, with just the path of Qi Cultivation, people already have to give it their all, let alone diverting their attention to Body Refinement and Divine Cultivation. The only thing people can do is to make enough achievements in Qi Cultivation first, then transition from Qi Cultivation to Divinity Transformation, enlarge their Primordial Spirit, and thereafter use their powerful Divine Sense to inspect their bodies and transform them, until every Acupoint contains the power of a star."

Li Hanqiu explained.

Every Acupoint contains the power of a star.

This is the Cultivation Method of the Star God Stage.

After a Star Master cultivates the Demonic God Physique, to step into the Star God level, they need to refine all the energy and quality of the Demonic God Physique into their Acupoints.

When one can ignite all one hundred and eight Acupoints within the body, and each contains the power of stars at the Meteor Star Level, that's the early stage of Star God.

When the power of the stars contained in each Acupoint reaches the Heavenly Star Level, that's the middle stage of Star God.

The Main Star is equivalent to the late stage of Star God.

Theoretically, these correspond to the Crimson Red Golden Core, Sunburst Golden Core, and Blazing White Golden Core.

But in reality, their combat power is not on the same level.

A Meteor Star God can easily bully a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but facing a Golden Core True Person...

A full blow from a Crimson Red Golden Core could instantly kill a Meteor Star God.

Of course, a Crimson Red Golden Core taking action with full force might lead to them not being able to stabilize their state and falling, but from this, one can see the huge difference between the two.

This is also why everyone yearns to cultivate a Golden Core, rather than taking the path of a Star God.

Moreover, compared to Golden Core Cultivators who can live for three to five hundred years, Star Gods and those in the Dharma Phase have even shorter lifespans, only two to three hundred years.

"There must be something wrong in some places."

Alkaid said.

He had information about the Dharma Phase in his mind, but...

Due to not having made much progress, this information was mainly about the cultivation and the use of Divine Sense in the Dharma Phase Stage.

"It is wrong."

Li Hanqiu nodded, "So we are intentionally promoting a new cultivation system from the Northern Sea battlefield, splitting cultivation into nine layers of Qi Cultivation, nine layers of Golden Core, and the Hollow Void Realm... Unfortunately, we do not have comprehensive information, and coupled with the difficulty in changing the entrenched mindset of everyone in the Cangwu Realm in a short period of time, we had to temporarily shelve this idea. We will wait until Cangwu is truly unified and these realms are perfected before we aggressively promote it."

"Northern Sea battlefield?"

Alkaid was taken aback, then as if realizing something, his pupils shrank, "Our war with the Moon Demon Empire isn't over!?" Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

"The war with the Moon Demon Empire is over, but … the Moon Demon Empire is not the only power in that world. That world also has another powerful entity called the Heavenly Demon Empire!"

"Heavenly Demon Empire!?"

Upon hearing Li Hanqiu's words, Alkaid instantly made a connection.

Back in the Alkaid Realm, he had heard of this power from the words of Mo Huang, the chairman of the Rebirth Society.

At that time, he thought he was a person from the Heavenly Demon Empire.

However...

It was also to be expected.

The Cangwu Great World has thousands of sects, large and small, and the Cangwu Alliance Conference has over two hundred well-known countries; the world behind the Moon Demon Empire is not just one country...

It was all too normal.

"The reason why all Golden Core cultivators have tacitly agreed that the Cangwu Great World must unite as one is because the threat from external enemies still exists... We Golden Cores have reserved only a hundred years for ourselves and all the sects. Within this century, the entire Cangwu Realm must become a single entity, and internal strife such as we have now, which wears down the strength within the Cangwu Realm, will not be allowed."

Li Hanqiu said, looking at Alkaid, "This agreement was made during the time when we repelled the Moon Demon Empire. Now, we have only thirty to forty years left."

"Thirty to forty years..."

"Yes, there will invariably be great chaos during this time, a battle between the major sects is inevitable, and with your strength and talent, you might even cultivate a true Golden Core in the future. If I vouch for you, you can choose to stay out of it!"

Li Hanqiu stated.

This was the reason he wanted to meet with Alkaid.

His talent held the promise of the Golden Core.

But the situation below was clearly not peaceful.

To avoid a talent like him, who could represent the hope of the Cangwu World, from falling during this inevitable battle for unification, it was best to pull him out in time.

Alkaid understood this and, after pondering for a moment, he asked, "The Golden Cores... they truly won't intervene in this battle for unification?"

Li Hanqiu fell silent for a moment and then said, "I can't give you an answer. Everyone knows that power should not be squandered in civil wars. Golden Cores taking action would only escalate the conflict. But when it comes to a critical moment, whether Golden Cores can stay out of it, no one can guarantee. Just like me, I have recently made my stance clear with my attitude that the Nine Cauldrons Sect must not fall unless it is as a last resort."

"I understand."

Alkaid sighed.

If the Golden Cores could truly ensure they would not enter the battle, his pressure would be much less.

But the result...

Clearly it was not so.

Of course, this answer was not the best outcome, but it was within his expectations.

After all, his plans never relied on the enemy's mercy or adherence to rules.

At the moment, he smiled and said, "Still, there are thirty to forty years left, right? Deciding when the moment comes is not too late."

"Your power has already attracted the attention of some. Although you can conceal it with the 'Primordial Sphere' spiritual treasure for a while, it won't last long..."

Li Hanqiu continued, pausing for a moment before adding, "If a Golden Core truly makes a move against you, I will stop them. But by doing so... you might no longer be able to stay on the surface. Otherwise, repeatedly ignoring the rules in this way will easily provoke opposition from everyone."

"I understand."

Alkaid nodded. For a Golden Core cultivator, it was possible to disregard the rules.

But doing so often would ultimately provoke dissatisfaction from others.

Of course, in the end, it was still because the Nine Cauldrons Sect had only one Golden Core like Li Hanqiu; they had to consider the stance of other top Immortal Sects.

If the Nine Cauldrons Sect had enough Golden Cores, strong enough, all opposing voices would not exist.

"I will make myself powerful enough to protect myself as soon as possible."

Alkaid said.

"Good."

Li Hanqiu then turned to Li Qingshan, "Give him the treasure."

"Yes, I've brought it with me."

Li Qingshan nodded.

"I have left a mark in the Void Divine Realm. If you encounter danger, just contact me through the Void Divine Realm."

Li Hanqiu spoke, glanced at Alkaid with a slight smile, "I look forward to your growth."

Alkaid also smiled, "I'll try not to make you wait too long."

Li Hanqiu felt the confidence in Alkaid's words, was momentarily startled, and then laughed heartily, feeling uplifted.

Then, his figure disappeared.

Li Qingshan also nodded to Alkaid.

In the communications room.

The Sect Master of the Nine Cauldrons Sect carefully took out a treasured box.

After the unanimous decision of the thirteen of us, including your great-uncle, we decided to entrust this treasure to you."

Alkaid, not knowing what it was, opened the treasure box.

Barely opening a slit, a brilliant golden light shot out from within.

He opened the box fully, and inside...

There lay a translucent, ginseng-like golden root.

"This is..."

Alkaid's eyes suddenly narrowed as he made a connection.

"Heavenly treasure—Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

Li Qingshan smiled, "It can be planted to grant you a Spirit Root, the precious item that allows for dual cultivation in Qi Refinement."
