Chapter 1132: Chapter 396: Wife, Do You Want to See My Golden Core?

The Ancient Beast Taming Charm blossomed with rosy glimmers, as countless tiny crimson specks meandered across Lu Changsheng’s body.

“The young master has just broken through to the Core Formation stage, yet his mana is as vast as the sea, vigorous and astonishing, sufficient to match many cultivators in the middle stage of True Elixir.”

Moments later, Hong Lian spoke, somewhat surprised by the foundation of Lu Changsheng’s mana.

One must know, from the early to the middle stage of Core Formation, the quality and quantity of mana are multiplied by several times.

Lu Changsheng has just reached the first layer of Core Formation, yet his mana is so robustly exaggerated.

This made her realize that Lu Changsheng’s Immortal Golden Core had been refined to the utmost limit, far surpassing the typical superior Gold Core, and it might even be the legendary Great Dao Golden Core.

Otherwise, the gap between a superior Gold Core and True Elixir wouldn’t be this vast!

“Mid Nascent Soul Stage, huh.”

Lu Changsheng heard this, nodded slightly, and continued to ask, “Then what do you think of my current combat power? Can I kill a cultivator at the middle stage of Nascent Soul?”

After pondering for a moment, Hong Lian said, “The young master’s specific combat power, Hong Lian is not clear.”

“At the Core Formation level, combat mainly involves Magical Treasures, Divine Skills, and external forces.”

“Just relying on mana, if you want to kill someone, it is only possible if the realms are vastly different, such as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator against one at the initial stage, or an Immortal Golden Core against a low-grade Flawed Core.”

“The young master has just broken through the Core Formation stage, and has yet to cultivate Divine Skills and nurture a Life-bound Magic Treasure. It would be difficult to rely solely on mana to kill a mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.”

Hong Lian’s voice was soft and pleasant, presenting the matter rather tactfully.

The greatest advantage of the Golden Core is its potential and foundation, making breakthroughs and realm advancements easier.

In terms of combat, it’s just the advantage brought by the foundational mana.

Unless the Cultivation Technique practiced is geared towards Sword Cultivators or War Cultivators, which specialize in offense and battle, the combat power might be somewhat higher.

While Lu Changsheng’s mana is vigorous and mysterious, it’s not as sharp and overpowering as the Cultivation Techniques of Sword Cultivators or War Cultivators.

“Magical Treasures, Divine Skills, external forces.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He indeed considered Magical Treasures as his current weak point.

Although he possesses the Starlight Plate, Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror, and the Fate-Defying Robe, none of these Magical Treasures are specialized in offense.

However, when it comes to Divine Skills, Lu Changsheng is quite confident.

With the inheritance of the System, he doesn’t need to spend time on Techniques and Abilities.

Whether it is the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, or other Techniques and Abilities, he can execute them all.

At most, it would take some time to become familiar and master them.

And the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, as a True Immortal Level Technique, naturally contains various Divine Skills!

Currently, he can use three Divine Skills.

Yin Yang Qi Grasp!

This Divine Skill boasts the power to overturn rivers and seas, lift mountains and seize peaks. In combat, it condenses the Origin Qi of the Golden Core into a hand seal with capturing, suppressing, and imprisoning effects!

Yin Yang Mysterious Divine Light!

This Divine Skill can transform into countless variations: divine soldiers, Magic Artifacts, the Five Elements, storms and thunder, even rain and sweet dew. It can also become protective Xuan Guang or be used for soaring through the light and fleeing.

Reversal Yin-Yang Liuli Wall!

When this Divine Skill is activated, it can reverse Yin and Yang, conceal one’s form and aura, and cause confusion in the Heavenly Secrets!

In addition to these three major Divine Skills, Lu Changsheng also possesses another great Divine Skill–Yin Yang Great Mingling Millstone!

However, having just broken through to the Core Formation stage, he is not yet able to use this great Divine Skill at will, as it would require a significant sacrifice.

So in terms of Divine Skills, he already has an advantage!

As for external forces, they are Lu Changsheng’s greatest confidence at present!

The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, possessing nine top-grade Divine Skills, is sufficient to enhance his strength in all aspects and allow him to overcome enemies of higher realms!

Thunder Gang Dragon Flame enhances his third-order Body Refinement and increases his prowess in close combat.

Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, Endless Guileful Head, and the Dark Demon Corpse – three Nascent Soul combat powers.

The Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, proficient in Illusion Techniques and charm, can bewitch and disturb the Mental Spirits of others, attacking their Divine Sense and sinking them into illusion realms!

The Endless Guileful Head can disturb one’s spirit, create a Ghost Domain, and erode another’s mana!

The Dark Demon Corpse, a Third Rank Demon King Corpse Refinement, might have the weakest combat power, but it can also serve as a meat shield, tangling with Nascent Soul Cultivators for several rounds!

In addition, he also has the Tianyuan Supreme King Lotus as his Second Dantian and thousands of Talismans as a trump card in his Talisman Sea Tactics!

As for the core Exotic Treasure from before–Profound Origin Bead, it’s been phased out.

After breaking through to Core Formation, this Exotic Treasure could no longer give him a boost in Cultivation Level; it could only be used as the most ordinary Second Dantian to store mana.

The effect is far inferior to that of his current Tianyuan Supreme King Lotus.

“I see the young master has third-order Body Refinement, and your Divine Sense is certainly much higher than fellow cultivators of the same realm, coupled with external forces such as Heavenly Spiritual Fire, your combat power naturally far exceeds those of the same realm, but the combat power of Nascent Soul Cultivators cannot be generalized.”

“Some Nascent Soul Cultivators might only have a low-grade Flawed Core, but they are fortunate enough to have superior quality Magical Treasures and astonishing comprehension, mastering multiple Divine Skills. Their combat power might even be stronger than some newly advanced Golden Core Cultivators…”

The Ancient Beast Taming Charm radiated a diffuse rosy light as Hong Lian continued to speak.

The Nascent Soul Stage is unlike Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment.

Even if you’ve just broken through to the Core Formation stage, you can use superior quality Treasures, or even forcibly spur top-grade Treasures.

Thus, Magical Treasures significantly influence combat power during the Nascent Soul Stage.

A lot of Nascent Soul Cultivators who may have bleak prospects for further breakthroughs spend most of their time and effort on their Life-bound Magic Treasures and Technique and Magical Powers.

This makes their Life-bound Magic Treasures and Divine Skills far superior to the average person.

“As for Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the young master should still be careful.”

“Low-grade Flawed Core Cultivators without great opportunities are basically hopeless in advancing to the late Core Formation stage!”

“Therefore, those who can break through to the late Core Formation stage are basically cultivators with Middle-grade True Pills; their foundations, potentials, and opportunities are all exceptional.”

“As for Third Rank Demon Kings, since demon beasts naturally have robust physical bodies, it is equivalent to Magical Dual Cultivation, and they are far superior to cultivators of the same realm.”

“If they are top-tier Earth Rank or Heavenly Grade Bloodline Demon Kings, they are equivalent to cultivators with Superior Gold Cores, and most likely possess Innate Divine Abilities, making their combat power far surpass those of the same realm.”
