For instance, in the Blood Skull sect, there should be only five people with a perfect foundation. Those people should be Pink Ivy, Void Claw, Patriarch Thunder Drake, Patriarch Evergreen, and Patriarch Sword Flash. For original chapters go to novel_fіre.net
Stella was the one who told him this. She was also the one who told him that Storm Hawk didn't get a perfect foundation.
It goes without saying that it is the people with perfect foundations that sects prioritize when sponsoring golden core cultivators to advance to the fifth mortal coil.
So now that he has advanced and there are three people at the fourth mortal coil with a perfect foundation, the slots for the fifth mortal coil have been filled up.
Unless one of the three golden core cultivators with perfect foundations dies, the rest will stand no chance of getting the support of the sect in advancing to the fifth mortal coil.
As for the other sects, it is very rare for them to produce someone with a perfect foundation. This is why it is so difficult for them to find replacements for their patriarchs. People with imperfect foundations simply find it too difficult to advance to the fifth mortal coil.
It is not that cultivators with a ninth-grade foundation are untalented. It is just that the Five Veins Region lacks the resources needed to support them to advance.
If someone like Storm Hawk goes to a richer environment, she will still be considered a genius. After all, it was only bad luck that made her fall short, not a lack of diligence or talent.
But because of where she was born, she became extra unlucky too. If she remains stuck here in the Five Veins Region, she will remain stuck at the fourth mortal coil until she dies.
He shook his head and said, "That's for her to worry about. People like me don't have to worry about that."
Even if he had created a ninth-grade foundation like Storm, he would still have the confidence to ascend to the fifth mortal because of the enhancement of the Mountain Sitting Dao.
Thanks to the Mountain Sitting Dao, not only is he stronger than his peers, but he will also have other sources of cultivation that can supplement his lacking core and help him advance.
So now that he has a perfect foundation, he has even less to worry about. In fact, he has nothing to worry about.
He said to himself, "If the sect won't support me, I will just kill and rob every new nascent soul cultivator that appears. I will make sure that no new nascent soul cultivator will appear as long as I remain at the fourth mortal coil. By the time I'm done terrorizing everyone, every sect will come to offer support to me so that I can ascend."
He chuckled as he thought of this. Then he continued perusing his status.
He saw that despite the increase to his power, the amount of energy he has in his golden core is still the same as what he had in 1,024 life seeds.
But this is not a problem because this is energy that is available for one core to use, not 1,024 to use. So even though energy quantity won't improve at the golden core stage, he doesn't mind at all.
The last thing to capture his attention was the appearance of his new talent. This talent is the Magnetic Field Manipulation talent.
The Magnetic Field Manipulation talent allows his core to produce a magnetic field of its own and allows his mind to control it for his own purposes.
There are two broad purposes that he has found that he can use the magnetic field of his core for. The first one is for passive defense.
The magnetic field forms a cocoon of magnetic force around him that can be used to block energy attacks and prying eyes. It protects him and also shields him from surveillance by disrupting and scattering the mana that comes close to his body.
He is not sure that this will be enough to block the sight of nascent soul cultivators since they have the superior energy called spiritual energy, but he is confident that the magnetic force field around him should be enough to block other golden core cultivators and spies like Stella.
The other general purpose that he has found for the magnetic field is to manipulate metallic objects. Not only can he use this to attack his enemies, but he can also use the magnetic field manipulation to disable the attacks of his enemies by disabling their metallic weapons.
He also believes that he can use his magnetic field manipulation to destroy formations. Since formation runes and engravings are usually made with metals, this makes them susceptible to the manipulation of his magnetic field.
Of course, this is only if he can gain access to the core of the formation. This will be unlikely for important formations, as they will have protection barriers that block access of any kind to them.
Be that as it may, this still gives him the potential to wreak true havoc on formations in the future. When he thought of this, it made him grin in excitement. Then he stretched out his hand towards his hammer.
The hammer flew through the air and fell into his hands. When it touched his hand, it hummed and came to life. Its runes lit up with power and anticipation.
Arthur grinned and said to the hammer, "You need an upgrade."
When other people reach the golden core realm, they celebrate the achievement. He too would like to celebrate the achievement. But he doesn't want a party.
Normally, he doesn't care for a party at his age. He had too many of them in his last life and has become tired of them.
But even if he liked parties and would like to throw one, it is not a good idea currently because someone in the Blood Skull sect just threw a party that caused a lot of pain and ruckus throughout the Five Veins Region.
