At the same time, the cultivation process placed significant demands on the physical body. The stronger a cultivator’s physical body, the easier it was to withstand the pressure of Golden Qi entering their body.

Currently, Zhou Chun’s Divine Sense was already stronger than that of most Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators.

And due to the effects of the *Secret of Dragon Transformation*, his physical body was also stronger than the majority of Golden Core Stage cultivators.

With these two significant advantages, coupled with the exceptionally high-quality Golden Qi of *Taiyi Profound Gold Qi*, he was fairly confident in his ability to succeed in the *Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron*.

After half a month of meditation and reflection, Zhou Chun finally began his second attempt at the *Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron*.

The process remained much the same as the first attempt–he first destroyed the Dao Cauldron in his Dantian with Golden Elixir True Fire and then absorbed vast amounts of *Taiyi Profound Gold Qi* into his body. This merged with the golden essence formed from the shattered Dao Cauldron, creating the molten gold needed for reforging the Dao Cauldron.

Throughout this process, Zhou Chun’s meridians and blood vessels endured an immense challenge, subject to an enormous pressure.

But, as he had anticipated, his physical body was strong enough, and his meridians resilient enough, to withstand the strain.

When it came time to reforge the Dao Cauldron, guided by Zhou Chun’s powerful Divine Sense, he meticulously adhered to the patterns and dimensions outlined in the *Golden Cauldron Profound Art*. Using the golden liquid within his body, he began to reforge an entirely new Dao Cauldron.

After an unknown amount of time, a brilliant golden Dao Cauldron was once again successfully reforged within Zhou Chun’s Dantian.

The entire process could only be described as seamless!

But it was not yet time to relax. Zhou Chun continued to circulate the Profound Art, allowing one of the golden cores in his Dantian to split off a trace of its essence, which transformed into a golden flame and melded into the Dao Cauldron.

Like adding the final touch to a masterpiece, this golden flame brought the previously lifeless Dao Cauldron to life. The intricate patterns on its four sides suddenly began to shift and transform.

In a dazed moment, Zhou Chun seemed to witness golden deities driving chariots, armed with spears, battling demon beasts and alien races. The golden spears swung, tearing through hulking creatures and foreign enemies.

Soon after, he seemed to witness a majestic golden mountain, radiating countless rays of golden light, converging into a glowing mist.

It felt as if an eternity had passed, yet also as if it had merely been a fleeting instant.

When Zhou Chun’s consciousness returned to normal, the Dao Cauldron had already been fully reforged, and new information about two Divine Skills surfaced in his mind.

However, he had no time to delve into them just yet.

After thoroughly inspecting the Dao Cauldron and confirming there were no issues, Zhou Chun immediately began practicing the third chapter of the *Golden Cauldron Profound Art*.

This chapter had been studied repeatedly by him in the past, but until now, the *Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron* step had not been completed, making cultivation impossible.

Now that the Dao Cauldron had been successfully reforged, the practice flowed smoothly, and he quickly mastered it.

The Mana that had stagnated since the completion of Core Formation finally began to grow once again, if only by a small amount.

After an extended period of cultivation, Zhou Chun slowly wound down his practice and began to reflect on the gains from this *Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron*.

The greatest benefit, of course, was that he could now continue cultivating without any concerns that his cultivation technique would impede progress until the Nascent Soul Stage.

The second major gain was the awakening of two Lifebound Divine Skills upon reforging the Dao Cauldron!

Whenever a cultivation technique reached the Golden Core Stage, these techniques would align with the cultivator’s unique attributes to form one or more Lifebound Divine Skills.

The power and intricacy of these Lifebound Divine Skills were primarily connected to the cultivation technique but were also influenced by the cultivator’s individual traits.

For instance, the quality of the Golden Qi used during Zhou Chun’s *Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron*, along with his Mana, Divine Sense, and physical attributes, all played a role in shaping the awakening of these Lifebound Divine Skills.

The two Divine Skills awakened by Zhou Chun this time were *Slaughter God Spear* and *Primordial Golden Mist*, perfectly balanced as both offensive and defensive abilities!

The power of these two Divine Skills was exceptional, though utilizing them came at a significant cost of resources. They were more than worthy of being ultimate trump cards.

After carefully analyzing both Divine Skills, Zhou Chun couldn’t resist testing their effects.

Since *Slaughter God Spear* was an offensive skill and not suitable for experimentation within Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun decided to first test the capabilities of *Primordial Golden Mist*.

He directed his Mana into the Dao Cauldron within his body, and the side engraved with golden landscapes immediately radiated dazzling golden light. A rich golden mist poured out from Zhou Chun’s body, enveloping him within its protection.

As planned, his Thunder Flood Dragon companion, Baibai, who had already received instructions, unleashed a *Heavenly Thunder Slash* directly aimed at him.

The result? Even though this attack was capable of heavily injuring Third Order high-grade demon beasts, it failed to penetrate even the surface of the golden mist, leaving Zhou Chun entirely unaffected!

Next, Zhou Chun summoned the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, to unleash *Golden Magnet Golden Radiance*. However, when the golden radiance struck the mist, it only caused a faint ripple before dissipating, leaving Zhou Chun unharmed.

Not even the gravitational field created by Stone afterward could influence Zhou Chun in the slightest.

It was as though the golden mist rendered him completely impervious to external forces!

“As expected of a Lifebound Divine Skill, its power is truly extraordinary!”

With a satisfied expression, Zhou Chun withdrew the Divine Skill, feeling deeply pleased with its effectiveness.

From what he could tell, even the defensive capabilities of *Wutu Diamond Shield*, a lower-tier defensive Dharma Treasure, were comparable at best to *Primordial Golden Mist*, but far less comprehensive.

The only advantage of the Dharma Treasure was that it consumed fewer resources and caused less backlash.

Given the strength of *Primordial Golden Mist*, it was safe to assume that the offensive capabilities of *Slaughter God Spear* would not disappoint either, so Zhou Chun decided not to test it for now.
