Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1835 - 1824: Golden Core Dao Pattern

"The meaning of Spiritual Sight and Perception is the same; once used, it signifies hostility."Thinking of this, Ning Fan silently took note of it.

"Thank you, senior, for your grace in allowing this."

Ning Fan cupped his hands in gratitude.

The Corpse Spirit's actions surely held ulterior motives.

But granting him the chance to ascend directly to the legendary Primordial Spirit Realm was no ordinary gift.

Yet, considering that the opponent's grand display aimed to help an unparalleled demon break its seal, Ning Fan felt an unsettling fear.

"After I leave, I fear you'll chase me down."

Ning Fan had already decided not to keep the promise, and at worst, he would never visit this place again.

After all, Ning Fan already had mastery over Xuan Tian Sect's alchemy techniques and skills.

Seemingly perceiving Ning Fan's thoughts, the Corpse Spirit coldly said, "Don't rush to thank me. Take a look at your Dantian first."

"My Dantian?"

Ning Fan looked at his abdomen in confusion, then was shocked by the sight.

In his Dantian was suddenly a spinning Golden Sphere.

To be precise, Ning Fan's Dantian had become a Golden Sphere.

The Golden Sphere was about the size of a broad bean, and in the state of Internal Vision, Ning Fan could see clearly a lively Five-clawed Golden Dragon coiling around the sphere.

"Could this be the Golden Core Great Dao recorded by Xuan Tian Sect?"

In Xuan Tian Sect's secret records, the Golden Core equaled the inner core, signifying the human body as a furnace, using the body's essence and qi as the ingredient,

and refining with the spirit, to further condense and form a Saint Embryo, thus transforming and Becoming an Immortal.

As for whether one could become an immortal, it was but a legend within Xuan Tian Sect.

But one thing was certain: the high-personages of Xuan Tian Sect all relied on the Golden Core for their lives.

Achieving a Golden Core represents a significant divide between a cultivator and mortals, a crucial checkpoint.

Countless individuals dreamed of achieving the Golden Core Great Dao, yet Ning Fan had obtained it with ease.

But Ning Fan felt no joy; he discovered the Five-clawed Golden Dragon seemed bound to the Golden Sphere, with several gray lines on it.

To become a strong practitioner of the Heavenly Gang Realm, two factors were required.

First, completing the transformation of qi into Gang Qi.

Second, awakening the Life-bound Martial Soul.

With the help of the Corpse Spirit, Ning Fan directly skipped the Heavenly Gang Realm and officially entered the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The appearance of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon on the Golden Sphere represented the Life-bound Martial Soul.

According to Xuan Tian Sect, the Life-bound Martial Soul is actually a Dao pattern.

Those without a Spirit Root cannot awaken the Dao pattern, ultimately stopping at the pseudo Primordial Spirit Realm.

The Golden Sphere and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon on it proved Ning Fan had become a true expert of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

However, in Xuan Tian Sect's secret tales, the Dao pattern should roam on the Golden Core's surface, not be stationary as it was now.

Considering a certain possibility, Ning Fan's face grew somber, "You've tampered with my Dantian!"

"You're not too stupid, after all. Did you think I would let you off so easily?"

The Corpse Spirit snorted coldly, "This is called a Banishment Core Seal. Under the heavens, only I can lift it. Three years from now, the restriction on the Golden Core will activate. If you don't want Pill Destruction and Person's Death, you'd better follow our agreement."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan's face turned ice-cold. He tested it with Gang Qi in secret, but the Golden Core had no reaction, and the Dao pattern remained fixed.

Ning Fan was not naïve enough to believe the Corpse Spirit's words were merely to frighten him.

His earlier good mood shattered completely before the Banishment Core Seal.

"You intend to threaten me with such tactics."

Ning Fan's eyes turned cold, glaring at the Corpse Spirit, a bold idea forming in his mind.

"Kid, you should be content. Do you think the Banishment Core Seal is just a ghostly trick to imprison people?"

The Corpse Spirit scoffed, "To tell you the truth, the Banishment Core Seal can stabilize the Golden Core, refine Pill Qi, and help solidify the Golden Core foundation. Many desire this and cannot obtain it."

Ning Fan sneered, "Ha, so kind of you."

"Of course not. If the time comes and the Banishment Core Seal isn't lifted, the overflowing Pill Fire will reduce you to ashes."

The Corpse Spirit's tone shifted, "But rest assured, as long as you come as agreed, I'll help lift the restriction."

"Why should I trust you?"

At this point, Ning Fan directly tore off the pretense, "How can you guarantee that you won't kill me to keep me silent after the fact?"

"Kill you?"

The Corpse Spirit looked at Ning Fan disdainfully, then asked an incomprehensible question, "Do you think we're evil? Do you believe we destroyed Xuan Tian Sect?"

"What do you think?"

Ning Fan mocked, "Doesn't the Corpse Qi and the remnants of Xuan Tian Sect stand as evidence?"

"Ignorant, ignorant people!"

Then the Corpse Spirit asked with interest, "How much do you know about Xuan Tian Sect?"

Ning Fan held nothing back, recounting everything related to the secret records of Xuan Tian Sect.

After listening, the Corpse Spirit laughed maniacally, "Haha… so we've become villains to be hunted down at all costs. What an irony."

Seeing the Corpse Spirit's manic state, Ning Fan was aghast,

Even having advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he still felt insignificant in front of the Corpse Spirit.

Just then, the thunderous laughter abruptly halted, as a pair of scarlet eyes locked onto Ning Fan.

"Boy, do you believe me?"

"I…"

After a moment of hesitation, ultimately, Ning Fan nodded silently.

The high-personages of Xuan Tian Sect, even posthumously turned into zombies, continued to wage an eternal struggle against the Corpse Spirit.

This unwavering faith was something no beings of great evil could possess.

Since Xuan Tian Sect was of righteousness, naturally, the opposing Corpse Spirits and the unparalleled demon were the villains.

"Boy, you have guts."

The scarlet in the Corpse Spirit's eyes dimmed, and he sighed softly, "Xuan Tian Sect was merely a group of fools manipulated by others, sending themselves to death and severing their legacy."

Ning Fan was intrigued and seized the chance to ask, "What exactly happened?"

"Even if I told you, would you believe it?"

Ning Fan shook his head, "Whether I believe it or not doesn't matter; the key is whether you want to tell."

"I can only tell you that our emperor, along with us soldiers, like the Xuan Tian Sect, were victims."

As he spoke, the red light in the Corpse Spirit's eyes resembled flowing blood, "One day, our emperor will flatten…"

Ning Fan pursued, "Flatten what?"

"I'll tell you the truth in three years."

"Damn it, would it kill you to say it now? Are you so certain I'll obediently return in three years?"

Ning Fan cursed inwardly, but didn't dare voice these thoughts.

Better to live dishonorably than to die; although there's this Ghost Constraint, if he found a way to break it, it would be a blessing.

"Leave quickly while the other guards are still unconscious."

Ning Fan asked, puzzled, "Other guards?"

"Do you think I'm the only one in this hall?"

The Corpse Spirit sneered, "You're pretty lucky, kid. It just so happens it's my turn to be on duty, or else… heh heh…"
