Chapter 930: Chapter 2: Beating the Enchantress

Finally reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps having waited too long for this day, Yan Yu, having anticipated all kinds of scenarios in his mind, isn’t surprised. He stands up calmly and inspects his Dantian with his Divine Sense.

Just as the annals have recorded, with True Yuan filling the Dantian completely, a faint purple essence begins to emanate from its surroundings, which the Taoist sect refers to as “Purple Mansion,” the fundamental root of a cultivator’s Dao Foundation.

The Purple Mansion is also known as the child’s mansion. The Golden Core is like the embryo within the egg and can only be nurtured within the Purple Mansion. Should the Purple Mansion be cultivated to the utmost, it will turn entirely to jade, hence the term “Jade Mansion.”

Of course, achieving a Jade Mansion requires extremely high talent, rare resources, and a defiance of heaven’s will, all three indispensable. So much so that even in current records from the Mysterious Realm, not a single instance mentions someone having cultivated a Jade Mansion. It is only vaguely mentioned that the more jade color around the Purple Mansion, the higher the Golden Core Rank will be.

For example, Xie Ruoxi, who has about one-fifth of the jade color around her Purple Mansion, can almost 100% cultivate a top-grade golden core. And then there is Yan Yu, whose Dantian is covered in a hazy purple essence, unable to find even a hint of jade color…

It’s hard to stretch.

Yan Yu takes out the Nine Revolutions Vermilion Phoenix Pill from the Mysterious Realm in the Kunlun Mountains and swallows it without hesitation.

Popping pills!

The Nine Revolutions Vermilion Phoenix Pill is known to accumulate cultivation, purify the Purple Mansion, and its potency is overwhelmingly tyrannical. It felt like swallowing a fireball. Before he could use the True Yuan to wrap it up and refine it, an intense heat from the spiritual energy exploded from within the Dantian, fiercely rushing into all the meridians.

Yan Yu frowns slightly, tells the girls who just left the Mysterious Realm, and then turns to leave silently.

He starts by walking, then running, followed by teleporting and passing through walls, rushing back to his room’s bathroom like a bolt of lightning.

Then, a thunderous rumble erupts.

After flushing the toilet eight times in a row, almost fainting with exhaustion, the intense pain in his stomach finally began to subside.

Looking at himself in the mirror–the clothes and pants soaked with sweat, and a thin layer of black mud oozing from his pores, as if just scooped up from a silt pond.

Yan Yu stares at his ragged reflection, expressionless for a while, then suddenly reveals a satisfied smile.

He forms a seal with his hand and begins to circulate Circulating the Heavens, feeling a faint stream of spiritual energy flowing into his body through all the pores.

His talent is no longer zero!

Of course, even though he can now cultivate on his own, his talent is probably even less than Chen Lingyun’s, so it’s only an addition.

Yan Yu takes another look at his Dantian and indeed finds a trace of jade amidst the purple essence–only a faint trace, of course, but still a difference between nothing and something.

Next, he must use the Dual Cultivation Method, the interplay of Yin and Yang, and the combined forces of Dragon and Tiger, to allow the purple essence and jade in the Dantian to intermingle, thus expanding the overall proportion of jade color.

It has to be said, the Qiansi Sect, though from the Sideline Sect and Heretical Path, is indeed deeply entrenched in these strange methods, even coming up with the strategy of using the forceful interaction of Primordial Yin and Yang to stir the Purple Mansion. Those from the reputable sect would never research such things–they would simply say, “Without talent, do not cultivate immortality.”

After showering in the bathroom and washing all the filth off his body, suddenly Zhao Yuanzhen walks through the wall from the outside and asks,

“You’ve reached Great Perfection, right? So when will you and I… Holy shit! What is that smell!”

“Making a fuss over nothing.” Yan Yu says contemptuously, “Hasn’t anyone taught you to knock before entering?”

“Nope, I’m an orphan.” Zhao Yuanzhen shamelessly moves closer, “Let your sister Zhao see how big you are… uh.”

Yan Yu leisurely towels off his body, saying,

“Have you decided on the location for the Mysterious Realm?”

“The Zhendong Army gave a few locations,” Zhao Yuanzhen speaks earnestly, “Truth be told, I don’t want to choose any of them.”

“Mm.” Yan Yu nods, “The locations they think of are basically considered from the point of defense convenience. But what they can think of, foreign countries may also consider, so it’s best we choose the location ourselves and only notify them at the very last moment, to shorten the enemy’s information acquisition time.”

Zhao Yuanzhen ponders for a moment and then suddenly says,

“Speaking of which, I do have an idea.”

“Tell me.”

“Why don’t we cross the Tribulation near the Mysterious Realm of Wudang Mountain?” Zhao Yuanzhen analyzes, “First off, Jingbei is located in the center of the Lu Country’s continental map, far enough from the borders in all directions. Secondly, all four battle teams are cultivating here, so they can come out and support immediately if something happens.”

“Mm-hmm, anything else?” Yan Yu asks.

“I checked the weather forecast,” Zhao Yuanzhen continues, “Wudang Mountain is going to have snowfall tomorrow, which should also help to conceal the heavenly phenomena of our Crossing Tribulation to some extent.”

“Indeed.” Yan Yu considers.

Wherever one crosses tribulation, it is difficult to hide the phenomena from outer space weather satellites, so the remoteness of the Mysterious Realm location does not have much meaning. The key is still to consider the possibility of the enemy coming in from any direction abroad, to have enough strategic depth, and to facilitate support from other cultivators…

Wudang Mountain’s Mysterious Realm indeed seems to be the best location. As expected, whenever it comes to serious matters of cultivation, the intelligence of the Demonic Sect Enchantress is always online.

“Is that okay?” Zhao Yuanzhen tilts her head and says, “If we’re going to cross tribulation at Wudang Mountain, why don’t we just perform dual cultivation in your room?”
