Novel Full Chapter 475
Chapter 475: Chapter 1: The Noble Golden Core Realm Jiaolong Chapter 475: Chapter 1: The Noble Golden Core Realm Jiaolong Having formed a Demon Core, Long Long had transformed from a Water Viper into a noble Jiaolong.
He swam agilely through the water, constantly releasing his Dragon’s Might to shake off the barnacles that clung to the turtle’s shell.
But the turtle’s shell was simply too large, completely covered in dense clusters of barnacles.
Having cleared one area, there were countless others to go, leaving Long Long feeling like a bathhouse attendant facing a clay figure, utterly unsure where to begin.
“I say, Mr.
Turtle,” he couldn’t help but complain, “after all, you are the venerable ancestor of the Xuanwu Clan.
Couldn’t you just use some Immortal Law to wash yourself clean?
Do you really need me to do it with my Dragon’s Might?”
“If your ears are itchy, would you choose to dig at them, or wash them?” the old turtle said slowly.
“Of course, I’d…” Long Long was about to say “Of course it’s more comfortable to dig,” but then he suddenly realized, “Alright, even if manually cleaning off the barnacles is better, why not let someone from the Xuanwu Clan do it for you?”
“Because they don’t have Dragon’s Might,” the old turtle said in his unhurried manner.
Long Long was speechless.
He certainly knew that the old turtle was providing him with an opportunity to repay a favor-the immense gratitude for being saved from the residual effects of the Heavenly Tribulation, the heavy karma involved.
Should he not repay it to the old turtle, he would owe it to his descendants, the Xuanwu Clan.

Considering the political sensitivity of the Xuanwu Clan on the continent, Long Long naturally preferred to serve this Mr.
Turtle, to clear the debt of gratitude, unwaveringly!
Oh well, was it just cleaning barnacles?
Let this immortal old terrapin see the skills of your minor White Dragon in the waves!
With a commanding snort, Long Long’s Dragon’s Might shook off all the barnacles in a hundred-yard radius.
“That’s enough.” After a few more hours, the old turtle suddenly spoke, “There’s an island ahead, go ashore first, and wait for me to come over.”
Long Long responded and swiftly swam towards the island ahead.
Upon reaching the beach of the island, Long Long quickly transformed into a young man and took a robe from his Storage Bag to wear.
Before long, two attendant boys came to greet him.
“May I have the honor of knowing your name, sir?” the boy on the left inquired, “My master does not favor strangers, please excuse us.”
“Long Long,” he nodded, “I am here accompanying Elder Gui Yue.”
The two boys exchanged a look and immediately said in unison:
“Please, Elder Long, proceed to the pavilion behind to rest awhile.
We will attend to the Xuanwu Immortal here.”
Gui Yue was the ancestor of the ruling Xuanwu Clan in North State, an Immortal of high rank; no wonder the boys dared not neglect him.
Seeing their utmost respect, Long Long couldn’t help but feel the odd impression of basking in reflected glory.
Settling in the pavilion, having nothing else to do, Long Long began to meditate and introspect, looking over the tremendous gains he had made after the Core Formation.
——–
Before Core Formation, he cultivated the “Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra”, and with eight hundred years of Refining Mansion Cultivation, his True Yuan was vastly superior to his peers, even earning him the reputation as the foremost person of the Refining Mansion rank in the world.
But after forming this First Grade Golden Core, the abundance of True Yuan was nearly a hundred times that of the original.
In the Jade Mansion, a golden core the size of a rice grain was suspended in the center, slowly rotating.
With each Grand Circulation of breathing, the golden core would make a complete turn, drawing True Yuan from the Qi Sea and releasing even more refined True Yuan out, resembling the inhalation and exhalation of a person’s breath.
The vigor of the True Yuan had also greatly increased, the previously taxing Thunder Method that would consume almost half is now performed as if it were nothing, with the slight expenditure being inconsequential.
Besides the True Yuan, Qiu Changtian felt his body was noticeably more agile, his senses sharp, refreshed and clear-headed, with thought processes becoming more active.
His lifespan had been extended to a thousand years, allowing him to revel freely for a time.
Returning to the main topic, after advancing to the Golden Core Realm, one must begin preparations for the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Golden Core Realm is also divided into three ranks: Soul Storing, Root Seeking, and Obscure Weave.
Among them, the Soul Storing rank is about imbuing the Divine Soul into the golden core, the Root Seeking rank involves the golden core sprouting a Pill Root, and the Obscure Weave rank is about creating an inner scenery within the Sea of Consciousness and connecting it with the golden core that has a Divine Soul and Pill Root, as preparation for the final “Golden Core Embryo Formation Immortal”.
The golden core has nine grades, while the Nascent Soul is divided into five ranks, namely, Ghost, Human, Earth, Divine, and Immortal.
Among them, the Ghost Infant is considered a failed Nascent Infant where a remnant soul is entangled on the Nascent Infant.
It is incapable of reincarnation or becoming an Immortal; it can only extend its miserable existence through Soul Possession.
???G0.?0
Golden Core True Persons who have shallow cultivation and whose physical bodies are destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, but whose souls fortunately survive, fall into this category.
The Human Infant is slightly better, having an intact body.
Although they also cannot ascend to Immortality, they can at least await a natural death and reincarnate.
Those with Low Grade golden cores who survive the Heavenly Tribulation, or those with Intermediate Grade golden cores whose cultivation is shallow and who are injured at their foundation by the Heavenly Tribulation, often fall into this category.
The Earth Infant is the mainstream level for most Nascent Soul Cultivators.
While there is a possibility to ascend to immortality, the hope is rather slim.
Those with Intermediate Grade golden cores who successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, or those with High Grade golden cores who are careless during the tribulation and harm their foundation, belong to this rank.
The Divine Infant is an enhanced version of the Earth Infant.
Its Nascent Infant has the appearance of “Five Qi Toward Yuan, Triple Yang Gathered at the Crown”, greatly increasing the chances of ascending to Immortality, and the ranks achieved upon becoming an Immortal are also higher.
Those with High Grade golden cores who successfully pass the tribulation belong to this category.
As for the Immortal Infant, it is a level that exists only in the records of ancient texts.
It is said that just being at the level of the Nascent Soul Realm, one possesses some of the powers like an Immortal, hence the name.
It is much like the First Grade golden core within the Golden Core Realm, theoretically possible, but practically so improbable as to be almost impossible.
First Grade golden core also has a standard for Refining Mansion Cultivation, yet the grade rank of the Nascent Infant seems to be related only to the golden core grade and whether one survives the Embryo Formation Tribulation smoothly, giving Long Long quite a headache.
Having formed a First Grade golden core, even if he ascended to the Nascent Infant smoothly and survived the tribulation, he would definitely not be content with just a Divine Infant.
Although the Demon Race refers to the “Golden Core Realm” as the “Transformation Realm” and the “Nascent Soul Realm” as the “Demon King Realm”, the overall cultivation system seems to be quite similar.
The Human Race has golden cores, and the Demon Race also has “Demon Cores”; the Human Race has Nascent Souls, while the Demon Race has “Dong Yuan”, which are more or less the same thing.
This time, following that old turtle, although it is to repay a favor and understand causality, if he could learn from it the method to form a High Grade Immortal Infant…
oh no, that’s wrong, to form a First-Class Dong Yuan, then the trip would be considered not a bad gain.
Long Long was silently calculating when he saw an old man with white hair and hands behind his back, escorted by two children, slowly walking over from the coast.
This old man was the old turtle, his expression calm and composed, seemingly possessing a bit of the air of an Immortal Sect.
It’s just that he’s too short, barely taller than the children on either side, giving a somewhat comical impression.
Of course, whether it’s to repay a favor or to gather information, Long Long had already made up his mind to fawn over this old turtle.
“Elder!” Long Long greeted with a smile, “What do we do next?”
“Wait,” the old turtle said slowly and deliberately.
