Dark Department's Xiu Ju looked in horror at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of Shen Qiang.

"Qingxuan? Who is this transcendent being that possesses such terrifying influence!"

Almost simultaneously, as Xiu Ju was shocked, Qingxuan, who was standing proudly beside Shen Qiang, sighed helplessly in her heart, "I never thought I, Qingxuan, would become so weak, a powerful being of the True Immortal Realm, yet now I can't even effortlessly kill mere ants of Mixed Element Realm."

"Even if it weren't for the abundant nature's spiritual energy at this moment and my master's exceptional talent, I fear I couldn't even appear."

Her slender hand clenched softly.

In the room, the nature's spiritual energy was effortlessly grasped in her hand by Qingxuan.

This terrifying reaction of the spiritual energy stunned Dark Department's Xiu Ju into shocked silence.

"To be able to grasp spiritual energy in one's hand, this must be someone at least at the Dao Fruit Stage or higher!"

Disheartenedly releasing her clenched hand, a trace of disappointment flashed through the depths of Qingxuan's eyes, "Without the support of a physical body, I've become so weak I can't even use the surrounding realms." However, sensing the spiritual energy flowing from all directions, the stunningly beautiful Qingxuan's lips curved into a smile of joy.

"My master's aura has begun to merge with that Evil Dragon, his Golden Core has grown enormously, a sight to behold. I believe it won't be long before he becomes an unparalleled powerful being. He once said that when the time comes, he will find another body for me!"

"With such a huge Golden Core, that day will surely not be too far!"

Feeling considerably more content, Qingxuan, sensing the stirring nature's spiritual energy, turned her gaze back to Xiu Ju, who was still looking shocked.

"The ants of the Mixed Element Realm are indeed stupid. To form a Golden Core relies on absorbing nature's spiritual energy. If the influx is too much, doesn't it mean certain failure?"

Gazing somewhat helplessly at Dark Department's Xiu Ju, feeling the True Qi that could scarcely sustain her form.

Qingxuan said indifferently, "Considering you harbor kind intentions, and you once served my master Shen Qiang, plus it's your first offense, I will spare you this time. If you dare disturb my master's cultivation again, show no mercy!"

As her voice fell.

Qingxuan's figure gradually disappeared from Xiu Ju's view.

For a long while.

Suddenly regaining her senses, Xiu Ju looked around in shock.

"A Body Separation?" Her eyes widened, "This must be a Body Separation! So powerful, so terrifying! Who is this transcendent being? Compared to her terrifying aura, Qian Shanxue, covered in blood, seems almost cute and adorable!"

"My master Shen Qiang..." Dark Department's Xiu Ju suddenly turned her head and was shocked to see, at that moment, the crazily surging spiritual energy resembling a giant dragon, swirling around Shen Qiang.

"If you dare disrupt my master's cultivation again..."

Dark Department Xiu Ju's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Shen Qiang.

"He's cultivating! He's forming his Golden Core, and he hasn't failed!"

Realizing this, Dark Department's Xiu Ju was overwhelmed with shock.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, still engrossed in observing his Golden Core, had his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

The speed of the Golden Core's growth, at this point, was visibly slowing down.

After all, the Golden Core was already too big.

From the size of a fingernail, it had grown to the size of a chicken egg, the visual impact was quite strong.

However, by now, it was the size of a basketball, so although it was still growing, the changes were no longer visually obvious; and as the revolution speed of the Golden Core slowed down, Shen Qiang realized that his Golden Core was probably about to stabilize.

Thus, what was still distinctly changing at this moment were the Dragon Patterns on the Golden Core.

The Dragon Patterns were commanding and domineering, circling above the Golden Core.

Although they did not move as if baring fangs and brandishing claws, Shen Qiang could still see faint sparks surging atop the Dragon Patterns.

My Golden Core is so big!

Shen Qiang was filled with joy, without giving much thought to why his Golden Core was so immense.

In fact, for ordinary cultivators, even if their talent is exceptional, due to the limitations of their racial talent, the largest Golden Core could absolutely never exceed the diameter of ten centimeters.

Thus, even the Medical Saint openly stated,

"As long as one possesses a Golden Core as large as a fist, as long as one does not die prematurely, becoming an Immortal Emperor is merely a matter of time."

The reason Shen Qiang possessed such a large Golden Core

was not truly due to how great his own talent was.

Otherwise, his Golden Core would not have stopped growing after reaching the size of a fingernail.

It was because Shen Qiang used the Fetal Dragon Essence during his Foundation Establishment.

A Golden Core bigger than a basketball is an unimaginable existence for cultivators.

But for a Giant Dragon, such a large Golden Core... haha... is undoubtedly petite to the point of being laughable.

Besides these factors, Shen Qiang's large Golden Core

was mainly due to his unyielding will and his own efforts.

If he were just going through the motions,

content with just forming a Golden Core, then clearly, all the events that followed would not have occurred.

Shen Qiang, who obtained a Golden Core the size of a fingernail, possessing ordinary talent and cultivation, could continue to slowly cultivate. Supported by the vast knowledge of the Medical Saint Inheritance, as long as Shen Qiang didn't mess up, he could still become immortal sooner or later, but whether it took hundreds or thousands of years was uncertain.

But now everything was different!

If cultivators were compared to computers or smartphones,

then the Qi Sea would be equivalent to the storage space and battery power.

The Sea of Consciousness would be akin to a search engine.

Cultivation Techniques and various peculiar abilities would then correspond to the different apps in a smartphone.

And what about the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul?

Undoubtedly, they are the core processor, CPU.

Because almost using any technique involves giving instructions through the Nascent Soul.

On the surface, cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage all have a Nascent Soul.

It's like everyone has a large-screen smartphone.

They might seem all the same.

But when actually put to use, the difference between a Golden Core and a Nascent Soul can be vast.

Simply put, if his Golden Core and Nascent Soul were only as large as a fingernail, even opening a webpage or watching a video would lag, let alone expecting such a weak processing capability to handle massive amounts of True Qi and True Yuan or execute powerful spells. It's like using the lowest-spec smartphone to run large, advanced software.

That's practically asking for a system crash!

However, at this point, Shen Qiang's Golden Core was ten times beyond the human limit, not to mention opening web pages or watching videos, conducting fifty million calculations per second was a common occurrence.

In such a scenario, when both run a spell that requires processing many details, the result is self-evident.

Without a doubt, the one with the larger Golden Core wins!

Since the size of the Golden Core has already determined the aptitude of the Nascent Soul.

And the Nascent Soul is crucial for a cultivator to be able to use techniques smoothly.

So even if he has not yet entered the Nascent Soul Stage, nor opened the Sea of Consciousness,

possessing a powerful Qi Sea and an extra-large Golden Core, Shen Qiang was already destined to become a powerful being!
