“Can mountains and rivers fly?
“Indeed, they can!”
Then, his face erupted into ecstatic joy.
“The Law of Ascension... This is the Mountain River Ascension’s Law...
“Earth Vein, Mountain River, Hidden Abyss, Ascension!
"With all four laws complete, my Golden Core is achieved!"
He Zhenghao burst into wild laughter.
Before his words fully faded, a violent fluctuation erupted from his body, forcing Li Fan to retreat far away.
The yellow representing Earth Vein's Law;
The azure-blue of Mountain River's Law;
The deep black of Hidden Abyss's Law
The purple-white of Ascension’s Law;
All appeared simultaneously around He Zhenghao.
They formed a swirling vortex of multicolored energy, intertwining and merging.
Centered around the Mountain River Hundred Veins Array Diagram, they converged.
Witnessing this spectacular scene from the side, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
To think Fellow Daoist He actually succeeded.
A Four-Law Golden Core cultivator... They must be exceedingly rare, even across the entire Congyun Sea.
From this day forward, his status will be utterly transformed.
This Ascension’s Law, much like Hidden Abyss's Law before it, resonates subtly with the Mountain River Hidden Dragon Art he cultivates.
Who would have thought that the very site he chose for his breakthrough would conceal such ruins.
This is He Zhenghao's destined fortune.
Using divine sense, Li Fan perceived the palace complex, which was still continuing to accelerate as it ascended.
It was about to breach the ocean's surface.
However, the scale of the architectural complex also seemed to be shrinking.
This is no illusion. If so...
A realization struck Li Fan in that instant.
During his twelfth lifetime, Li Fan had once heard a tale.
In Anchor Year 22, a cave dwelling had risen from the seabed in the northwestern part of the Congyun Sea, then flown directly toward Jiushan Province.
Many curious cultivators had followed to investigate.
None ever returned, and their fates remained unknown.
So it was that cave dwelling?
Li Fan felt a sudden understanding.
Like an artifact, it can change sizes and fly at will. Which sect could these ruins belong to, to possess such abilities?
Hmm... Perhaps I should spread the word and let other cultivators scout the path for me.
It’s such a mystical sect residence, preserved so perfectly. It's bound to attract many cultivators interested in investigating.
Li Fan's mind instinctively began weaving schemes.
Before long, a peculiar fluctuation interrupted his thoughts.
In He Zhenghao's abdomen, a Golden Core was about to take shape.
The surface of the Golden Core revealed the faint traces of an array diagram.
As his aura surged dramatically, He Zhenghao successfully formed his core.
Simultaneously, a substantial influx of cultivation feedback flooded into Li Fan's dantian.
