Becoming an Immortal Emperor, All Thanks to the Efforts of My Enemies

Chapter 55



Chapter 61: Over-Sealed

Recently, Liu Shunyi had been in seclusion.

He was working hard on breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

After all, he had plenty of enemies now.

Why not take this opportunity to level up in peace?

The guards of Jing Shui City and the imperial troops were all just trivial enemies.

In fact, with their numbers dwindling, their names on the list were starting to fade.

So, Liu Shunyi decided to focus on these two types of enemies and train vigorously.

Before he knew it, another half month had passed.

During this time, the names of the Jing Shui City imperial troops had completely disappeared.

The guards of Jing Shui City were also gone.

And Liu Shunyi’s spiritual power was finally fully consolidated.

Next up?

Just waiting for that consolidated spiritual power to transform into a Golden Core.

To condense the Golden Core, the next step would be to gather all the consolidated spiritual power and then fuse it.

However, to completely condense into a Golden Core, he needed to face the tribulation.

Liu Shunyi didn’t continue training.

The next step was going through the tribulation.

And doing it at Qinglian Sect wasn’t exactly ideal.

Secondly, once his spiritual power gathered, Liu Shunyi noticed something troubling.

It seemed he had overshot the refinement of his spiritual energy.

According to the book Ji Suying provided, a practitioner refines their spiritual energy, condensing it until it forms a massive spiritual power mock core within their body.

The size of this mock core determines the ferocity of the ensuing tribulation.

In reality, the size didn’t matter too much as long as one could condense the Golden Core.

Once the Golden Core was formed, it would grow larger as the practitioner continued to cultivate.

What truly mattered was the quality of the spiritual energy.

The higher the quality, the greater the chance of successfully forming the Golden Core.

Ironically, sometimes the bigger the mock core, the less safe the tribulation would be.

Since a larger mock core would also summon a harsher tribulation.

Looking at the mock core within him, which was roughly the size of a star, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but worry.

“I wonder if the names on my Great Dao Golden Scroll can withstand this!”

But then again, he wasn’t in any rush regarding the Golden Core.

He had plenty of time to pick his enemies carefully.

With nothing pressing, Liu Shunyi simply sat in his courtyard, sipping tea and enjoying the scenery.

At the same time, he was studying the spells at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much to learn there.

The spells of Foundation Establishment practitioners were only slightly more complex than those learned by Qi Refinement practitioners.

The only real difference might be that during Foundation Establishment, practitioners use specific items that boost their spell power when cast.

Foundation Establishment spells weren’t worth mastering.

However, he could learn the spells from Golden Core practitioners, even if he couldn’t cast them yet.

As Liu Shunyi flipped through the spells accessible to Golden Core practitioners, he found himself slightly awestruck.

“Wow?”

Understanding the nature of Golden Core spells was quite mind-blowing.

These spells were utterly devastating.

What with endless heavenly fire and boundless water—

As soon as they were cast, they could wreak havoc on the world.

“No wonder I didn’t even catch a glimpse of that Golden Core practitioner from the Heavenly God Sect before I got eliminated!”

“The difference between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment is just absurd!”

Liu Shunyi fell into silence.

“Buzz~”

At that moment, in the skies above Qinglian Sect, a flying boat returned.

The vessel drew everyone’s attention.

Liu Shunyi looked up.

One glance was enough to make his pupils contract.

The flying boat was battered and bloodstained.

Some of the blood was already dried, while some was still fresh.

Most importantly, onboard were heavily injured disciples.

Their injuries looked worse than the victims he’d seen after dealing with the demon cultivators.

“Thud~”

Before long, the flying boat docked at the sect’s berth.

Countless servant disciples immediately rushed to help collect the corpses and carry off the severely wounded disciples.

Some of the broken bodies were beyond recognition.

The servant disciples had no choice but to use shovels to start clearing away the wreckage.

Although this scene was not the first Liu Shunyi had witnessed, seeing it again made him uncomfortable.

But there was no other way.

For resources, for benefits—

You had to fight. And with fighting comes bloodshed.

Three days quickly went by.

On this day, a disciple from Cangjian Peak returned.

And Liu Shunyi actually recognized him.

It was Ye Yan!

The disciple who had reformed his spiritual roots in the Skyfire Secret Realm, personally taken in by Ji Suying.

Ye Yan was heavily injured and remained unconscious.

In the end, he was brought directly to Liu Shunyi.

“Master Liu, do you have any healing pills?”

Liu Shunyi nodded promptly.

“Of course, wait a moment!”

He dashed to his room, searching through his storage bag for healing pills.

Finally, Liu Shunyi found a healing pill with a unique pattern and hurried back out to pop it into Ye Yan’s mouth.

Upon swallowing, Ye Yan’s visible wounds began to heal at a remarkable pace.

Not only that, but flames began to flicker around Ye Yan’s body.

“Whoa…”

Ye Yan suddenly sat up, dazedly glancing around.

“This is the sect? Cangjian Peak? Master Liu!”

Seeing the scene before him, Ye Yan visibly relaxed.

“I’m back!”

The disciple who had brought Ye Yan over saw he was okay and took his leave.

Ye Yan felt his body and was shocked to see Liu Shunyi.

“My injured foundation… it’s healed!”

Liu Shunyi remained silent, but wore a calm expression.

Instantly, Ye Yan dropped to his knees and bowed to Liu Shunyi.

“Wow, no, please get up!”

Ye Yan shook his head.

“Master Liu has saved my life; I owe you my gratitude!”

Liu Shunyi felt a bit awkward.

However, his fondness for Ye Yan was greatly increasing.

This guy was a world apart from another disciple who just stands guard without any idea.

“Get up; we’re colleagues, no need to be like this!”

Ye Yan smiled.

Since Liu Shunyi didn’t want to elaborate, he didn’t ask more.

But a pill capable of repairing the foundation was something he had never even heard of.

Although he didn’t mention anything, he marked it in his memory.

“Master Liu, I wish to recover here for a while; I hope it’s not too much trouble?”

Liu Shunyi thought about it for a moment before nodding.

Mainly because he wanted to find out more about how the various sects planned to attack the Heavenly God Sect and where they stood in their strategy.

So, he agreed.

Ye Yan was thrilled that Liu Shunyi was willing to keep him around.

—————

In the days that followed, Liu Shunyi finally discovered why Ye Yan was so adamant about staying.

That guy was busy every day, cleaning his yard, tidying his room, and even fetching tea for him.

Liu Shunyi was starting to feel a little embarrassed.
