676: Chapter 212_3 676: Chapter 212_3 Behind them, Shaoze’s expression subtly changed as his quarry suddenly made a breakthrough at this moment.
Was this… could this be the legendary genius spoken of in tales?
No, that’s not right, her Golden Core, why has it started to solidify?
Shaoze was dumbstruck; generally speaking, when forming a new Golden Core at the Golden Core Stage, an ethereal shadow of the Golden Core would first emerge.
It would then gradually accumulate substance, or perhaps with a sudden enlightenment or a significant opportunity, the Golden Core would solidify.
However, the opponent’s Golden Core had just appeared, and in the next moment, it began to solidify, and moreover, this Golden Core was also a Special Gold Core.
That is to say, the opponent now possessed seven Special Gold Cores!
Seven Special Gold Cores, although he had eight Golden Cores, only five of his were Special Gold Cores.
If the other party were to suddenly turn around and attack him… If this woman went mad as well, and self-destructed like her sect mates had done.
Internally, Shaoze cursed and decided not to pursue any further.
Qiao Jingyao, sensing the appearance of her seventh Special Gold Core behind her, feeling the surging power within her, suppressed the urge to turn around and kill Shaoze, and continued to flee.
She still had a chance; she had memorized her opponent’s name and face.
In the future, she had plenty of time for revenge, it wasn’t something to rush in this moment.
As the seventh Gold Core solidified, her speed of flight increased even more, and in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared from the sight of Shaoze and the others from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
As she carried the flying paper, she could feel the power of the seventh Gold Core she had just formed, which was stronger and more terrifying than all her other Gold Cores, and from that Gold Core, she felt an incredibly strange power.
The next moment, a plum blossom flew out of the Gold Core.
She watched the plum blossom suddenly and her eyes widened in shock.
Although many people think all plum blossoms look the same, she recognized this particular plum blossom very clearly.
This plum blossom was too distinctive.
It was a snow-white plum blossom without a single impurity, but the blossom was missing a petal.
She remembered clearly that when she first arrived at the Celestial Plum Sect, her master and the Sect Leader had handed her this very plum blossom to ingest.
Her master told her that the Celestial Plum Sect and Sky Plum Mountain were both named after this single plum blossom.
This was the Heavenly Plum!
Once, a very long time ago, the Celestial Plum Sect had also been powerful, no less formidable than the top ten Immortal Sects of today.
However, due to an accident, the Celestial Plum Sect nearly faced annihilation, and their inheritance was severed.
The Sect’s Heavenly Plum, this plum blossom, had also lost a petal, and it seemed to have become just an ordinary plum blossom.
They even lost the ability to feel the power of the Heavenly Plum.
Still, each generation of successors in the Celestial Plum Sect carefully preserved and passed down the plum blossom.
After she joined the Celestial Plum Sect, her master and the Sect Leader, due to her talent, directly passed the Heavenly Plum inheritance to her, hoping she could awaken it.
Yet, after so many years, she tried every means, but could never awaken the Heavenly Plum.
Who would have thought, on this day, after she was the sole escapee from the Celestial Plum Sect, the Heavenly Plum would be awakened.
“This… my master and the Sect Leader once said that there is an inheritance within the Heavenly Plum, but why do I feel that the Heavenly Plum is more like a Divine Weapon, and moreover, a Divine Weapon without Divine Skills?”
Qiao Jingyao felt the aura of the Heavenly Plum as mana surged into it within her body.
In an instant, the plum blossom grew larger, resembling an umbrella canopy.
She sat on the Heavenly Plum and flew at high speed, faster than before.
She continued to fly like this for a long time, and eventually, she stopped.
She knew that she couldn’t return to the Celestial Plum Sect now, as the enemy might have set a trap there waiting for her; if not to the Celestial Plum Sect, then where could she go?
If the Grand Preceptor were here, she would definitely choose to seek him out.
At the previous Martial Contest of the Immortals, the Grand Preceptor had bestowed upon her Divine Skills, Divine Weapons, and a Cultivation Technique, and she deeply agreed with many of the Grand Preceptor’s methods, especially the equality of mortals and Immortals.
But now, the Grand Preceptor was in slumber.
“The Grand Preceptor still has disciples.
Since the Grand Preceptor is sleeping, then I will go find his disciples.
Now that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect has invaded the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the disciples of the Grand Preceptor are bound to intervene.
My own power is limited; first, I’ll find them, and together we’ll kill those from the Demon Sect, while also honing myself!”
The Grand Preceptor’s four disciples, at this moment, were leading the disciples of their three senior brothers, slaying the invading Demon Sect throughout the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
But the Demon Sect was too numerous; no matter how strong they were, they were limited in number and couldn’t stop all invasions by the Demon Sect.
Moreover, one of them had to be dispatched to protect the Capital City.
The other three led their disciples in suppressing the Demon Sect throughout the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Outside the Hundred Peaks Sect, Yu Tuoyu was leading more than twenty Golden Core Stage disciples toward the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
She didn’t know what had happened at the Hundred Peaks Sect, it was just that she had suddenly discovered a large gathering of the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, and their destination turned out to be the Hundred Peaks Sect.
If the Red Refinery Demonic Sect was gathering so many people, they must be planning something big.
And in this vicinity, the only Immortal Sect worth mobilizing so many disciples for was the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Hundred Peaks Sect…
Nowadays, within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the strongest Immortal Sect was undoubtedly the Hundred Peaks Sect.
That was the sect with Cao Zhen, who was a reincarnation of a being with Great Ability, and had seven experts of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
