"These three passes and nine orifices refer to the first three fields, the latter three passes, and the three orifices."

"To step into the early stage of the Glazed Golden Body Realm, you must first clear the latter three passes."

"These three passes are the Tailbone Pass, the Spine Pass, and the Jade Pillow Pass."

"The human body has 360 bone joints and 84,000 pores. Only by passing the three passes can you coordinate with the three fields and three orifices, refining them one by one."

"Alright, you can start practicing now."

"..."

Chen Sansi closed his eyes, recalling every word of the cultivation technique in his mind, slowly raised the long spear, and began to practice intently.

Until the familiar panel gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (True Power Perfection)]

[Progress: 0/300]

He could clearly sense the location of the latter three passes, but no matter how he used True Power to cleanse them, it had no effect.

"This is the spiritual object you lack."

Lord Taishan informed him, "To forge a Golden Body, you must use Fu Xi Black Sand to completely destroy your flesh body and extract the Golden Body from it. During the process, you also need the Beast Blood of the Green Blood Sacrifice to repair your flesh body; both are indispensable.

"If you fail, your flesh will directly become a pile of bleached bones under the washing of Fu Xi Black Sand, resulting in immediate death and oblivion."

"As for where to find the Fu Xi Black Sand and the blood of the Green Blood Sacrifice, you'll have to inquire yourself."

"Why are you still standing here? Go about your tasks."

"Thank you, Master, for your instruction."

Chen Sansi clasped his fists and turned to leave.

"Buzz!"

The stone gate opened and closed again, as Immortal Jing Shu emerged from the depths of the cave mansion.

Her attitude towards Mu Chutai had undergone a complete transformation, from playful disdain to gentle and virtuous, holding a jade plate filled with spirit fruits in her left hand and a wine jug in her right.

"This child is not bad."

Immortal Jing Shu praised, "Lord Taishan has taught him well; he will surely become a great asset in the future."

"The temperament is okay; the rest is mediocre."

Mu Chutai was no longer flattering, taking a sip of wine and saying in a deep voice, "Do you have spirit stones? Give me some."

Immortal Jing Shu took out a full bag of top-grade spirit stones: "The spirit plants that Lord Taishan wanted, I've also prepared."

"Good, thank you for your effort."

Mu Chutai grabbed the storage bag, and rose to head towards the depths of the cave mansion: "Don't disturb me unless it's urgent."

"There's indeed something important."

Immortal Jing Shu paused and said, "The sealing of the Eastern Continent is about to fail."

"..."

Lord Taishan stopped: "When did this happen?"

"Just recently, we observed the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein's earlier revival, likely soon undermining the sealing from its foundation."

Immortal Jing Shu said worriedly, "If the Eastern Continent is lost, there's no telling what the Holy Sect might find there; the Ancestor Vein is probably just a decoy."

"I understand."

Mu Chutai didn't say more as his figure was engulfed in shadows.

...

Chen Sansi had just stepped out of the Xiao Xiang Sect's gate when he saw a blue bird circling above, carrying a letter.

After a brief review, he returned to a mortal tavern near the Qingxu Sect.

Shangguan Siheng had been waiting there for some time.

He clasped his fists in greeting, "Congratulations, Daoist, on forming your Golden Core."

"Brother Shangguan will soon reach it too, right?"

Chen Sansi wasted no words: "What pressing matter brought you to see me today, Daoist?"

"With the Demon Path rampant, Great Wall is under pressure; you must have heard, Mr. Chen, so..."

Shangguan Siheng also got straight to the point: "I came to ask His Majesty Tianwu to send forces to Heavenly Water!"

"Deploy forces?"

Chen Sansi didn't rush to respond.

"Mr. Chen!"

Shangguan Siheng stood up, speaking emotionally, "If Great Wall breaks, it will be disastrous. As cultivators, how can we sit idly by? Only by deploying the Great Han's Heavenly Soldiers and Generals can we confront the Blood Demon army!"

"..."

Chen Sansi leaned silently against the chair, rhythmically tapping the armrest with his fingers.

Seeing this, Shangguan Siheng spoke anxiously, "Do you mean to watch the Heavenly Dao collapse and do nothing, Mr. Chen?"

"Brother Shangguan,"

Chen Sansi replied quietly, "From my heart, I certainly wish to help the Heavenly Water creatures, but what about the 36 sects of Heavenly Water? Would they agree? Do not forget, I'm a wanted fugitive of the Holy Sect.

"Even if I deploy forces to Heavenly Water and fight the Blood Demon army, what do I gain?

"Using the lives of my brothers to reduce the losses of the Heavenly Water Sect?

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"..."

Shangguan Siheng fell into contemplation: "What you say is reasonable.

"But...

"What if Mr. Chen could form a temporary alliance with the Holy Sect?

"Setting terms like a mutual agreement that Heavenly Water won't attack Great Han anymore, from now on, each remains in their own domain."

"Brother Shangguan jokes."

Chen Sansi was skeptical: "They've coveted the Ancestor Vein for years; how could they easily give up?"

"It's entirely possible!"

Shangguan Siheng earnestly said, "Maybe you're not aware of the severity of the situation, Mr. Chen.

"If the Demon Path invades Heavenly Water, occupying numerous Spirit Veins, they might kill for immediate benefits, using life and Spirit Veins to form an Ancient Demon array. Then, the entire righteous path would face a survival crisis!

"Under such circumstances, even if they covet the Ancestor Vein, the Holy Sect might agree to some conditions to exchange for Great Han's help."

"Daoist, you can try."

Chen Sansi rose and said, "If there's a response, you can send someone to find me in Chang'an."

He didn't linger much longer, leaving the tavern without returning to the Qingxu Sect, transforming into a stream of escape light, disappearing at the horizon's end.
