A golden elixir swallowed into the belly, trampling through the gates of life and death without hesitation!

  The counterfeit Taishang Broken Array Drum, the drum sound shocks heaven and earth. Although it is a counterfeit product, it fully inherits the magical power of Taishang Breaking Array Drum to break various array methods in the world.

  At first, the Great Thunder Sound Temple's Protecting Mountain Great Formation, Mahavairocana Formation, was broken by the Divine Martial Exterminating Immortal Formation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Behind this was the contribution of the Supreme Breaking Array Drum.

  The drumbeat formed circle after circle, almost condensing into a tangible wave, surging towards the Two Instruments of Life and Death Array like a tide.

  The Two-Edged Formation reacted in the first moment, as if facing a great enemy, with light and shadow constantly changing, evolving into various changes to resist the attack of the Supreme Breaking Array Drum.

  But the current two-instrument life and death formation, there is no treasure to suppress the array eye, nor is there material for the formation, it is completely relying on a formation diagram, operating the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy to form an array.

  Lin Feng himself was still unable to control the Law Array, and it was completely relying on the Two Instruments of Life and Death Array to operate automatically.

  In this case, don't mention the broken array drum that specializes in defeating the heavenly formation, even if it's the divine martial exterminating immortal formation from the ancient domain of the great marsh. If we were to fight again today, it would be a completely different situation.

  In the midst of the "rumbling" drumbeats, the lines of light that formed the Two Instruments of Life and Death array resisted segment by segment, but collapsed segment by segment.

  In the end, the entire formation could no longer withstand the heavy pressure and suddenly shattered.

  All the light gathered at one point, transformed into a small array diagram, flew up to the ninth heaven, and entered the small cave heaven opened by the Xuantian Treasure Tree.

  Chen Gang's eyes flashed: "In the end, it will all be mine."

  Liu Yang beside him couldn't wait any longer, and he rushed to the top of Yu Jing Mountain, shouting: "You little beast with the surname Lin, get out here!"

  Huā yāo yào shuài hé liè fēng zhēn rén duì shì yī yǎn, yóu yù le yī xià, yě dōu fēi shàng yù jīng shān dǐng.

  Chen Gang, although he was the last one to land, had already become the leader of the crowd. He looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

  "If you don't come out now, don't blame me for dragging you out and making you lose face in front of your disciples."

  …………

  At the top of the Xuántiān Bǎo tree, it pierced directly into the void. There, a much smaller Xuántiān Bǎo tree grew.

  At this moment, the shrunk version of the Xuantian Treasure Tree was already covered with pale golden vines.

  The Wutong Shu tree has no aversion to the vines that are clearly parasitic on it, and instead the two have reached a perfect harmony, as if they had merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

  At the top of the canopy of this treasure tree, Lin Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

  Outside, a month has passed in the vast world, while in the Xuan Tian Zhou Guang Dong Tian, time has accelerated by a hundredfold, which is equivalent to a hundred months.

  Lin Feng had been in seclusion for more than eight years in the Dongtian.

  In these eight years, Lin Feng has been diligently contemplating the Taoist scriptures, his body filled with spiritual energy, and he has already reached the peak of the foundation-building period, only one step away from forming the elixir.

  Suddenly, a stream of light flew in from outside the cave and landed in front of Lin Feng, which was exactly the formation diagram of the Two Instruments Birth and Death Formation.

  Lin Feng didn't even glance at the formation chart, as if he was completely unaware of it.

  His entire spirit at this time was focused on the sea of energy within his own body, in the alchemical cauldron on top of his spiritual platform.

  In the midst of the Supreme Elixir Cauldron, a rolling purple gas surged ceaselessly, combining with Lin Feng's own Eight Trigrams Heavenly Dao Treasure's power to condense and refine together.

  In the midst of purple energy, the universe's stars, mountains and rivers, wind and thunder, flying birds and running beasts, humans, ghosts, demons, and immortals - countless forms rise and fall, only to be extinguished together, merging into a single, rolling, ethereal shadow.

  This spherical illusion was also rolling in the purple gas, emitting a faint golden light.

  This is just the embryo of Golden Elixir, but it's still illusory and far from being the true Golden Elixir.

  For more than eight years, Lin Feng spent most of his time accumulating his own magical powers and preparing for the Golden Dan.

  But is the Golden Elixir so easily obtained? Cultivating the Tao, the Qi-refining stage is merely a preparatory phase, and it's only during the Foundation-establishing stage that one can be said to have truly begun building the foundation. Only when the Golden Elixir is formed can one say they've truly set foot on the path of cultivation.

  Why is that? Because cultivators in the Qi Refining stage basically don't increase their lifespan, and even the most accomplished masters at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage have a normal lifespan of only two or three hundred years.

  Only after forming the Golden Elixir will a cultivator's lifespan skyrocket to over a thousand years, truly defying heaven and struggling against fate.

  So in the Xiu Zhen realm there is a common saying: one golden elixir swallowed into the belly, tramples through life and death without a care.

  Forming the Golden Elixir, one breaks through the limits of human normal lifespan, treads on the mysterious gate of life and death, obtains a carefree longevity of a thousand years, and has enough time to continue exploring and comprehending the great Tao of Heaven and Earth.

  The golden nature is imperishable and has been preserved for thousands of years, this is the Golden Elixir.

  To achieve this, in addition to accumulating enough Fa power and spiritual energy, one must also have a deep understanding of the difficulties between life and death.

  Lin Feng recently entered a very wonderful state of mind.

  On one hand, concentrate all spirits, comprehend the Taoist principles, accumulate spiritual energy and polish personal magical power.

  On the other hand, Lin Feng's mind flashed with countless chaotic and disorderly scenes, all sorts of things, strange and bizarre.

  After he came to the Tianyuan Great World, all sorts of things happened, from the confusion and loss when he first arrived in the new world, to the process of taking in four apprentices including Xiaobudian, and then searching for Yu Jing Shan.

  Moreover, there were many memories of past lives. Some things that had long been forgotten and were about to be unclear, for some reason, reappeared in Lin Feng's mind during this period, clear and detailed, distinct and vivid.

  Running wildly on the road as a child, teasing female classmates in elementary school, sweating on the playground in junior high school, insomnia on the eve of the college entrance examination...

  Lin Feng's body gradually became still, until he completely disappeared from view, as if he had turned into a lifeless corpse with no signs of life.

  In the next breath, the breath of life returned to Lin Feng's body, and he became lively again.

  Extinction and rebirth, two states alternately appeared on Lin Feng's body.

  "There is great terror between life and death." Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes: "What method can dispel this great terror?"

  Birth, aging, illness and death make up life.

  Birth, growth, decay, and emptiness are the transformations of nature.

  After life is gone and creation is destroyed, it does not end there, but rather starts anew, entering the next cycle.

  Thus it goes on and on, never stopping.

  The end is for a new beginning.

  This unshakeable will is the eternal truth, no one is forever invincible, forever immortal, but after decay and collapse, gain new life, start anew.

  The golden nature is imperishable and has been preserved for thousands of years. This is the embodiment of such an unshakeable will, and it is the key to forming the Golden Elixir.

  Whether a cultivator can form the Golden Elixir has nothing to do with whether they are good or evil, nor with their being broad-minded or narrow-minded, nor with their moral integrity or baseness, nor with their diligence or laziness.

  Forming a golden elixir, the key lies in one "unwavering", unshakeable will and faith, creating great fearlessness and courage in the face of life and death.

  With great fearlessness, great courage and great perseverance, one can break through the gate of birth and death without any worries!

  Lin Feng's face suddenly broke into a smile.

  "I'm here."

  The mighty power and spiritual energy in Dan Ding converged together, merging into the illusory golden elixir. The illusory shadow suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light.

  The golden light gradually turned into purple, and from the purple light, a pleasant and ethereal music faintly came, as if it were a song of transcendence, coming from an extremely distant place, filled with the most profound principles between heaven and earth.

  In the center of the purple light, a golden elixir shone brightly.

  Lin Feng suddenly stood up, wearing a white feathered robe and star crown, and in an instant, everything turned into flying ash, no longer existing.

  With a wave of his hand, endless purple energy suddenly surged out from the void and surrounded Lin Feng's body.

  Lin Feng smiled calmly, opened his arms, and the purple aura enveloped his body. Then it rolled and changed, finally transforming into a long purple robe with wide sleeves, countless elegant and comfortable.

  Underneath, the Xuantian Treasure Tree's branches and leaves swayed gently without any wind, as if they too were rejoicing for Lin Feng.

  Mystic Heavenly Treasure Tree, Jade Capital Mountain, Surrounding Heaven Purple Energy.

  He could feel his relationship with the three of them reaching a brand new balance, far more stable than before.

  Lin Feng smiled coldly: "The uninvited guests outside should have made enough trouble, shouldn't they?"

  (PS: It's not over yet, there will be another update after 11pm tonight!)
