Chapter 340: Chapter 195: Divine Weapon Advancement! Golden Core Ceremony!_2 Chapter 340: Chapter 195: Divine Weapon Advancement! Golden Core Ceremony!_2 Time passed.

Before long, it was just a few days before the Golden Core Ceremony commenced.

Lu Li took Liu Luoxin and his daughter back to Mystic Moon Island.

A few days later, early in the morning.

The rising sun cast golden rays across Mystic Moon Island.

Amidst the endlessly churning mists, the island basked in a golden hue.

At this moment, at the foot of Central Spirit Peak Mountain, on a giant plaza where victory flags fluttered, there was a bustling crowd full of fervent excitement.

A vast number of cultivators were seated at tables on both sides of the plaza, with hundreds of Purple Mansion experts present, and even more Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many of these venerable beings were all humility, eschewing any airs of superiority.

Gazing at Zhuang Guxue, Ye Yuchan, and several other women in front, they even appeared slightly ingratiating.

The relatives and concubines of the Golden Core ancestors were not ones they could afford to offend.

The members of the Lu Family were brimming with excitement, pride swelling in their hearts.

Who could have imagined that in just a hundred years, their Lu Family would have ascended swiftly from a Foundation Establishment Family straight into a Golden Core Immortal Clan?

It felt like a dream to all present.

Many of the clan members had experienced their breakthroughs during the Lu Family’s rise, pushing past the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The family boasted more than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Even some of the vassal families were rising by taking advantage of the situation.

Led by the Foundation Establishment family, the Zhuang Family.

Zhuang Lintian and a few others sat in a corner, their faces flushed with excitement.

Who would have thought that his daughter would become the concubine of a Golden Core Venerable, bestowing their family with much glory?

“Xue Er truly has an eye for gold. Once she bears a son or a daughter, her status will be even more secure.”

The people around spoke with prideful smiles.

Just then,
Two dazzling lights swiftly tunneled down from the mountaintop, and before the figures arrived, an imposing aura instantly overwhelmed the crowd, causing everyone’s chest to tighten as if weighed down by a great mountain.

Soon, the tunneling lights hurtled over the undulating hills and forests, arriving on the stage ahead.

They revealed a pair of peerlessly graceful man and woman.

Both were clad in white, their hands interlinked, with tender warmth in their eyes. Their attractive features shone brilliantly under the golden sunlight.

They appeared much like a celestial couple.

“We hereby offer our congratulations to Venerable Lu on achieving the Great Golden Core Path,” many cultivators stood up and saluted respectfully, full of reverence.

“Having friends from afar honor us with their presence is truly a fortune for me,” Lu Li said with a slight smile, gracefully lifting his sleeves to raise the crowd to their feet.

Feeling such a tremendous force descend upon them, the crowd’s faces grew even more respectful.

Upon seeing the might Lu Li exuded, Zhuang Guxue, Ye Yuchan, and several other women were brimming with excitement, their eyes shining.

Following this, a group of cultivators took their seats once again.

Suddenly, strong ripples emanated from the horizon at sea. Over ten lights rapidly approached the stage.

Among them was Wang Yan of the Baihua Sect, with the remainder being Golden Core Venerables from the other three Great Sects, led by Xue Jingshi.

Before long, they arrived upon the stage.

“Congratulations, Mr. Lu, on ascending the Great Golden Core Path,” they repeatedly greeted with smiling faces.

The critical moment of the great battle between right and wrong was upon them, and every bit of strength was incredibly precious.

Not to mention a talented Golden Core Venerable like Lu Li, who surely deserved everyone’s goodwill.

Subsequently, Xue Jingshi and others placed a large number of Spiritual Objects on the stone table before them.

Amidst the flashing radiance of various colors, even the Spiritual Energy became somewhat disordered.

“You are all too kind,” Lu Li said with a light smile, returning a nod to Liu Luoxin.

Thereafter, he arranged for everyone to be seated.

The many Golden Core Venerables began to eat Spirit Fruits and drink Spiritual Wine, deliberating together on the insights into the Golden Core Path.

As the drinking cups crossed, the mood gradually grew more heated.

Although Lu Li’s path wasn’t that of the Golden Core, by making analogies with what he knew, he too shared some of his insights.

This brought benefit to many of the Venerables, who grew even friendlier toward him.

It was at this moment that Xue Jingshi suddenly said, “Led by the Four Great Demon Sects, their offensive is becoming increasingly fierce. I fear the decisive battle day is not far off. Do any friends have strategies…”

His face showed a hint of worry.

“If not for Shang Hongyang’s sudden defection, we wouldn’t have fallen into such a dire situation. Those demon cultivators have been blood-sacrificing numerous cultivators, becoming stronger and harder to deal with…”

Many Venerables spoke with hatred, clenching their teeth in anger.

“We must prepare in advance. Our Sect has found an incomplete Ancient Battle Array that can gather the mana of a multitude of low-level cultivators into a single mighty True Form. Later, I will share this array with everyone…”

Their eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“Then we must thank Fellow Daoist Xue.”

This method might increase their chances of victory; it probably was a secret weapon of the Qingxu Sect.

As for having found it only recently, nobody believed that.

Without the urgency of the situation, it was doubtful they would have revealed it.

Lu Li was also quite interested.

After that, everyone began to converse in quiet exchanges.

Half an hour later,
A group of Purple Mansion experts below halted and looked up at Lu Li with eager anticipation, visibly excited.

Lu Li put down his wine cup, his face wearing a gentle smile.

As was tradition, he was about to share the insights from his Golden Core breakthrough.

This was also to pave the way for future generations, a tradition of the Dragonfall Sea that had been preserved for tens of thousands of years to this day.

He paused for a moment, then began to distribute Divine Power, expounding on his path to the Golden Core.

“The way of the Golden Core involves…”

Sounds of the profound Dao spread in all directions, the ether filled with roiling Spiritual Energy, creating an incredibly majestic scene.

Many Purple Mansion experts below listened raptly.

Unsure how much time had passed,
Lu Li finally stopped speaking.

The audience looked on regretfully, each deeply enlightened.

“We thank Venerable Lu for his kindness,” many Purple Mansion experts quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

Then they sat down once again.
