Chapter 400: The Hidden Dao Treasure
Translator: Myriea_ActiasLuna Editor: Nou
Fang Xing studied the message given to him by the lotus girl several times since entering the Guixu Ruins, and he understood where she was trying to guide him by now .
With Fang Xing's current mastery of Foundation Stage, it wouldn't be very difficult for him to form a golden core . He already had plenty of the necessary pellets and it wasn't difficult to find more inside the Guixu Ruins, either . As for the techniques necessary to study the Dao of the golden core, there was even less for him to worry about; even disregarding all of the others, the technique inside the Huangfu clan's young master was the profound technique known as the Script of Ravaged Tapestry .
It could be said if Fang Xing wished to form a golden core, his full mastery of the Foundation Stage meant all he had to do was want it . A golden core formed like this was completely unreasonable, however, and would give an unstable foundation . In the lotus girl's words, "It would make it difficult to seek the great Dao in the future!"
Fang Xing also understood that even though he had the Script of Revered Spirit, Script of Revered Sense, the black sword's unnamed technique, and the Yin-Yang Sanding Disc, they weren't suitable for this . The first technique only turned the heavens and earth into Qi, the second helped increase spirit sense, the third was a method of killing, and the fourth was nothing more than an apex skill .
His current technique to increase cultivation level was based upon the Qing-Yun's Qi Formation that Bai Qianzhang had improved, which Fang Xing had further adjusted using his own experience and understanding to better suit him . It had helped him push to complete the full mastery of Foundation Stage, but it wasn't enough to help him form the golden core . Forming a golden core required a higher-level Dao technique to serve as a guiding light—it couldn't be achieved with just the accumulation of resources . The technique studied during the formation of the golden core would determine the direction one's cultivation took in the future, making it incredibly important and warranting great caution . .
Even if Fang Xing formed the golden core by studying the Script of Ravaged Tapestry, the information inside the Huangfu clan's young master only went so far as the Golden Core Stage; how would he be able to cultivate with it beyond that point without the completed later stages? Furthermore, although the Huangfu clan was extremely well-known within Jambu, they'd still been exiled from Videha in the end—they were probably just average at most . Fang Xing disdained this technique from the Huangfu clan, and after giving it lots of thought, the only thing that moved him was the Dao left behind by the Taishang Daoism, something even the lotus girl had paid particular attention to . The Taishang Daoism had been so great that heaven's thunder struck it down—only a technique like this was worthy of him .
For this reason, Fang Xing needed to seek out the Dao treasure to study it and form his golden core, but doing so required searching through the depths of the Guixu Ruins and exploring its secrets which meant he needed to join a team searching for spirit veins . Such teams would search for safe spirit mountain mines amidst the nests of vicious beasts and dangerous landscapes, but they'd also study the secret lands within the depths of the ruins to find a safe way inside .
Of course, the clan most suitable for Fang Xing to seek out the Dao treasure was still the Xunlong clan . Unlike the large Guixu Ruin clans—the Hentian, Fengtian, Baiyue, and Yushou clans 1 —the Xunlong clan was incredibly elusive and even their gathering location was unknown . The only thing known about them was that they're a bunch madmen, and the reason they entered the Guixu Ruins in the first place was for the sake of finding the Dao treasure left behind by the Taishang Daoism . The clan had appeared thousands of years ago and had been searching ever since, yet they hadn't given up on it even once and continued to persevere .
The other clans inside the Guixu Ruins simply forget the Xunlong clan existed most of the time . The most recent impression of them had been three years ago, when someone infiltrated the secret pavilion within the Hentian clan to try to steal a secret treasure left behind by the Hentian clan's great ancestor . A few Exalts and elders had discovered the would-be thief in the end, and after the trespasser was defeated in combat and captured, someone recognized the mark on their body .
Unfortunately, the trespasser didn't hesitate to commit suicide during a brief window of opportunity, and even went so far as to destroy their own soul to prevent the Hentian clan from being able to interrogate them . They were unable to determine the true purpose behind the Xunlong clan entering their secret pavilion, but they'd been on high alert ever since and had prevented others from entering the Hentian clan's gathering spot . Even Fang Xing had been under suspicion as someone from the Xunlong clan at first given how abruptly he'd appeared .
Regardless, the Xunlong clan should have the greatest understanding towards the secrets in the depths of the Guixu Ruins, it was just a pity Fang Xing didn't know their whereabouts . He wouldn't be against causing a serious calamity in the Hentian clan before running over to join the Xunlong clan if he knew where they were, but right now he didn't have any other choice; if he wanted even a glimpse of the secrets in the ruins' depths, he had to join the team that searched for spirit veins .
After making his decision, Fang Xing went over to the managing elder who was as thin as a withered tree branch yet extremely greedy and lecherous . When he saw Fang Xing's choice, he let out a snorting laugh and said, "Exalt Xing, just how easy would it be to join the beast-hunting team given your circumstances? With that red dragon following you, would any peril beast even require you to lift a finger? Yet you want to join the spirit-vein-searching team; you also want to search for that Dao treasure?"
