Chapter 213 - Three Great Legacy Disciples
For the next half a month, Su Zimo discovered that Night Spirit – the mysterious little beast – was extremely picky with its food.
It did not touch the flesh of ordinary demon beasts at all.
When it came to ancient remnant beasts, Night Spirit would choose to eat some.
It did not seem like it enjoyed them either, eating very little.
Su Zimo did not give much thought to it, merely assuming that they had not found the right food.
After all, most demon beasts would not eat every other demon beasts as well – they had their own preference too.
Su Zimo planned to wait till Night Spirit was older before taking it out so that it could hunt on its own to see the type of demon beasts it preferred.
As time went by, Night Spirit’s body began to turn rougher as though something was growing out.
Surveying from the beginning, be it the cultivators that arrived first or later on, Su Zimo realized that he was the only mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Su Zimo sensed an unusual aura and felt that something was amiss.
If this Dongling Valley trip was based on one’s cultivation, late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples should be ranked before him who was at mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
If it was in terms of potential and endowment, why was it that other than him, the rest were all at late-stage and perfected Foundation Establishment?
The arrangement was filled with conflict no matter how he looked at it.
“Look! Those are the three great legacy disciples of our sect!”
Little fatty gave a low cry and pointed at three people who were flying over not far away, “The grey robed cultivator on the left is Ji Chengtian and it’s said that he’s a four meridian Foundation Establishment!”
Typically, perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be referred to by the number of meridians they have unlocked.
“The blue robed cultivator on the right is Luo Yi and he’s also a four meridian Foundation Establishment. In the middle is the leader of the three great legacy disciples, Qin Yu. He’s at five meridian Foundation Establishment and is also the true number one of the inner sect! I even heard from master that Qin Yu has a chance of unlocking the sixth meridian before the sect competition!”
Normally, one would have an extremely high chance of forming a core if they had four meridians unlocked.
In the sect competition, four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators had a chance of ranking in the top ten while five meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators were a shoo-in for the top ten!
As for six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was considered to be very good if one or two of them appeared in the once every ten years sect competition.
From that viewpoint, one could understand the preciousness of one of Ethereal Peak’s three secret skills – Ethereal Foundation Establishment manual.
Cultivating Ethereal Foundation Establishment would ensure at least four unlocked meridians.
Thereafter, it would depend on the cultivator’s own endowment, talent, perceptiveness and fate.
Through thousands of years, there had indeed been disciples of the sect who had unlocked six meridians.
In Tianhuang Mainland, even if those at six meridian Foundation Establishment continued cultivating till they were 100 years old, they might not be able to unlock the seventh meridian.
If they wanted to progress, they had to enter the ancient battlefield.
That was the only place where they could obtain heavenly defying opportunities and lock their seventh… even eighth meridians!
The reason why cultivators wanted to unlock as many meridians as possible wasn’t only because of the increase in strength – it was preparation for core formation!
The quality of a Golden Core formed from four meridians was naturally incomparable to the quality of one formed from five meridians.
The quality of a Golden Core of five meridians was incomparable to a Golden Core of six meridians…
It was said that once the quality of a Golden Core reaches a certain level, the spirit energy in their bodies would achieve a harmony with the heavens and earth and a phenomenon that would shock the world would be born!
That was the famous Golden Core phenomenon of the cultivation world!
