Liu Ruyan's unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened, bursting with an unprecedented light.
"In this life, I have fellow Disciples to protect, a figure to follow, and... a Dao that truly belongs to me!"
Along with this firm declaration in her heart.
The surging tide of memories in her Sea of Consciousness gradually subsided, eventually turning into two clear streams that merged into her Soul of this life, fusing completely.
Simultaneously, within her Dantian, the spiritual power compressed to its limit exploded!
A Golden Core the size of a longan, perfectly round and seemingly containing infinite mysteries, suddenly formed!
On the surface of the Golden Core were not ordinary Dao patterns, but circles of strange lines like tree rings or the trajectories of fate!
It was also of the highest quality—a Nine-Pattern Golden Core!
"Buzz..."
The moment the Golden Core formed, Liu Ruyan's entire aura surged!
A vast, ancient, and profound Dao charm that seemed to have experienced endless Reincarnations spread out from her center.
In the distance, Yun Yun, who had been silently watching, had a flash of admiration in her eyes.
"The Nine-Pattern Golden Core is formed; the future is promising!"
Yun Yun sighed softly.
Liu Ruyan slowly finished her technique and opened her eyes.
At this moment, her eyes were even deeper, as if they held endless years, yet remained as clear as before.
Her cultivation had steadily stepped into the Early Golden Core stage!
She stood up and gave a distant salute toward Yun Yun.
Then, she stepped out of the seclusion area and walked toward her waiting fellow Disciples.
Meanwhile, inside the Main Hall.
Almost at the same time Liu Ruyan broke through, a crisp System notification sounded in Gu Han's mind as expected.
[Ding! Detected True Disciple 'Liu Ruyan' condensing a 'Nine-Pattern Golden Core', completing the 'Three Lifetimes as One' achievement!]
[Distributing rewards...]
[Congratulations Host, you have received mastery dao value +50,000 points! Special Item: 'eastern emperor bell (imitation)'.]
"eastern emperor bell?"
"System? Could this be the eastern emperor bell from the Primordial World?"
Gu Han's voice rang in her mind, carrying a hint of unbelievable shock.
[Ding! Host guessed correctly! But don't get too excited; this isn't the original 'eastern emperor bell' from the Primordial World.]
[This is an imitation refined by the System using the eastern emperor bell as a prototype and 'Nine Heavens Star Iron' as the core.]
[As for its rank... it can barely be considered a 'quasi-immortal artifact'. Although it's just an imitation, within the Ten Directions of Worlds in this Star Domain, it is definitely one of the top-tier treasures!]
The System's electronic voice explained in detail with a hint of pride.
"quasi-immortal artifact? An imitation?"
Gu Han's heart was shaken, and her gaze fell upon the newly appeared item in the System warehouse.
It was a small bell, dark gold all over, with an ancient and heavy design.
On the body of the bell, sun, moon, stars, earth, fire, water, wind, mountains, rivers, and the state... countless grand and ancient patterns were faintly visible.
Just by touching it with her thoughts, she could feel a supreme Dao charm capable of suppressing all things and stabilizing the universe!
Although, as the System said, this was not the real eastern emperor bell, the aura it emitted had already surpassed the previous quasi-immortal artifact 'star river ancient mirror'!
"A quasi-immortal artifact... even if it's not a true Immortal Artifact, it's definitely more powerful than ordinary quasi-immortal artifacts!"
