Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

”How can this be compared? My Commerce Association’s Yifei, with the talent for the Golden Core, can utilize any amount of Spiritual Qi absorbed, whereas your Commerce Association’s people have inferior talent and weak Magical Power. It’s clear that something unexpected happened at the Dao Field, ultimately resulting in a shattered Dantian and a body collapsing to death. Are you unwilling to accept this and want to drag someone else down with you?” Gu Tianfeng said angrily.

”President Gu, are you so certain that Elder Huang of our Commerce Association won’t make it?” Master Yuxiao actually had no hope in his heart, but at this moment, he was merely retorting with a hardened resolve.

”You...”

”Please calm down, everyone!” Just then, Alliance Leader Tong flew over.

”Alliance Leader Tong, please stand up for our Commerce Association!” Gu Tianfeng hurriedly said to the Alliance Leader.

The Alliance Leader smiled slightly and shook his head, ”President Gu, you are at fault this time. No matter what, Little Friend Huang from the Si Shui Commerce Association has not violated any rules, and there is currently no situation where the Dao Field must be forcibly opened.”

”But... given Little Friend Huang’s situation, he certainly can’t withstand such Spiritual Qi pressure...”

Tong Shangren shook his head with a smile, ”The world is unpredictable, and anything is possible. Why is President Gu so sure that Little Friend Huang cannot create a miracle?”

”In hundreds and thousands of years, when have we seen such talent able to surpass fifty percent of the Dao Field’s Spiritual Qi pressure? Alliance Leader Tong, have you seen it?” President Gu argued based on principles.

”Just because you and I have never seen it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. What is a miracle if not something like this?” the Alliance Leader remained calm.

He then added, ”Even if we take a step back, and in the end, Huang truly cannot withstand it and dies, we must wait for indications before acting. Otherwise, forcibly opening the Dao Field and hindering Little Friend Huang’s Core Formation will set a harmful precedent with far-reaching consequences.”

Gu Tianfeng understood from these words that the Alliance Leader was determined to stop him, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although the Business Alliance is an overall alliance, internal factional strife has never ceased. If the Taian Commerce Association truly produces a Golden Core to Nascent Soul Seed, it would certainly not be something the Nine Tripods Commerce Association wishes to see.

The Alliance Leader ignored his expression, turned around to instruct his juniors, and his form once again became invisible.

He didn’t really want to use this to suppress the Taian Commerce Association. Even if they produce a Nascent Soul Seed, the Nine Tripods Commerce Association wouldn’t care too much, because a seed is just a seed, and to genuinely grow to the True Monarch level is a long way off.

This path is a thousand times more arduous than Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, once they truly form the Golden Core, to stabilize the realm, they have to seek opportunities in the Central Ten Domains, which is the only chance to breakthrough to the Mid-stage Golden Core.

Except for the Central Ten Domains, the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm has no place to support Mid-stage Golden Core Nascent Soul Seeds.

With the Alliance Leader’s understanding of the Taian Commerce Association, they do not yet have solid major power connections in the Central Region to ensure that their Immortal Seedling can gain enough opportunities there.

At that time, the Taian Commerce Association’s support for them would fall short.

Furthermore, the higher you go, the greater the investment risk, with sunk costs being too high.

If the other party perishes on the path to the Nascent Soul, everything will be in vain.

At the very least, the Taian Commerce Association would be severely weakened for several decades.

Of course, such matters he would not tell President Gu, who has never invested in a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The reason he appeared to make the final decision was at Master Chunyuan’s request.

After all, Little Friend Huang was also a bait invested by Master Chunyuan.

”Hmph!” After the Alliance Leader left, Gu Tianfeng snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Uncertain whether it was towards Master Yuxiao or the Alliance Leader, or perhaps both.

Now, he can only hope that Li Ji’an will be unable to withstand such a massive influx of Spiritual Qi and explode to death at the next moment.

Currently, Tu Yifei has about ten days left in his period of devouring. As long as the opponent dies suddenly one day earlier, there is hope for recomposition.

And after that, time for Gu Tianfeng seemed to pass like years.

He watched as the fifth day ended, the sixth day came, yet there was no sign of Spiritual Qi collapse at Little Friend Huang’s No. 3 Cave Mansion. In fact, the devouring force was steadily advancing, showing no signs of decline.

”Brother Gu, such a devouring force, if it weren’t for an anomaly in the Dao Field, what kind of innate talent in an Immortal Seedling would be needed to have such power?” President Bai said with a calm demeanor, even with a hint of schadenfreude.

Gu Tianfeng had a solemn expression, staring unblinkingly at Li Ji’an’s Cave Mansion: ”I have never seen this in my lifetime!”

”Even in the thousands of years of Feihong Dao Field’s records, only two have been seen, both who are world-rare Innate Spirit Bodies with special opportunities, not only were their Magical Power immensely pure and profound, but their Dantians were also exceptionally powerful.”

He then firmly added, ”But this would definitely not be the sort of mediocrity from the Si Shui Commerce Association!”

President Bai nodded in agreement.

However, the seventh day passed safely amidst Gu Tianfeng’s clenched teeth.

At this time, the No. 3 Cave Mansion had already absorbed all the Spiritual Qi of its own Dao Field, as well as all the Spiritual Qi overflow between three Dao Fields.

On the eighth day, the Spiritual Qi of the other two Dao Fields began flowing towards the No. 3 Dao Field.

By the ninth day, Bai Cailin Dao Field’s Spiritual Qi lost by ten percent, and the Spiritual Qi that Tu Yifei’s Dao Field had absorbed into the Cave Mansion also began to overflow and eventually flowed to Li Ji’an’s Cave Mansion.

...

Until the twelfth day, Gu Tianfeng was utterly in despair. Although the devouring force at Li Ji’an’s Cave Mansion began to slow down from the tenth day, by now it had already absorbed twenty percent of the Spiritual Qi Tu Yifei had originally absorbed into his Cave Mansion.

As for Bai Cailin Dao Field, half had been extracted.

Currently, Li Ji’an’s Cave Mansion had gathered the Spiritual Qi of one whole Dao Field plus seventy percent more, two tenths higher than Tu Yifei’s limit, yet incredibly, there was still no sign of Spiritual Qi collapse.
