Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

After reaching the Golden Core, the strength of a cultivator depends on magical power, magical treasures, divine techniques, secret techniques, combat will, mental realm, Dao insights, geographical environment, etc. Magical power is just one of the standards to measure a cultivator, and there is no absolute strength or weakness.

Yet, magical power remains an important indicator of a cultivator's strength or weakness.

Among human race cultivators, the Early Stage of Golden Core equals one hundred Zodiacs, the Early Stage of Nascent Soul equals one thousand Zodiacs, and the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation equals ten thousand Zodiacs.

This is the human standard.

But for those top-tier divine beasts, their magical power even surpasses humans.

In legends, the Kunpeng lineage's magical power is the most profound, known as the king of magical power, with the Early Stage of Golden Core having three hundred Zodiacs of magical power, the Early Stage of Nascent Soul with five thousand Zodiacs of magical power, and reaching Divinity Transformation, it soars to one hundred thousand Zodiacs of magical power.

These top-tier divine beasts, relying on their profound magical power, can cross levels to fight fiercely beyond imagination,

yet the Gold-devouring Insect significantly lowers the lower limit of Nascent Soul.

In the Early Stage of Golden Core, magical power equals one Zodiac;

reaching the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, magical power equals sixty Zodiacs.

The Gold-devouring Insect is already at the Nascent Soul Realm, yet its magical power is not even as strong as a human Golden Core cultivator... what use are you.

Lu Xuanji looked sadly at the adorable insect.

The golden bee's dull eyes, flickering with grievance, said, "Master?"

"Oh, you can speak now!"

Lu Xuanji curiously said.

Many demon beasts can speak once they refine the cross bone during the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they are top-tier divine beasts, they can speak during the Qi Refining Stage.

But the Gold-devouring Insect only begins to speak in the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Master!"

The Gold-devouring Insect chirped, its voice cute, soft, and melodious.

Listening closely, it felt as if the sound was melting something within.

Forget it!

If you can't fight, then you can't fight!

Let's just keep you as a pet.

"Xiao Jin, after entering the Nascent Soul, what divine techniques do you have?" Lu Xuanji asked.

The Gold-devouring Insect said, "No special divine techniques, just metal devouring and speed."

"That's not bad!"

Lu Xuanji nodded, "Keep eating!"

With that, he began to feed it Immortal Gold.

The Gold-devouring Insect excitedly chirped, starting to gnaw on the Immortal Gold, after devouring a hundred grams of it, its body swayed slightly, ready to enter the Insect Bag.

"Is this the Nascent Soul?"

Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, feeling the changes in the Gold-devouring Insect.

Despite its weakness, as the weakest Nascent Soul demon beast, they had signed a contract, allowing him to clearly feel its changes, perceiving the mysteries of the Nascent Soul, as well as its bodily transformations.

The Nascent Soul lightly activated, a surge of spiritual qi surged inside, undergoing refining and spreading throughout the body, enhancing the physical form, with life potential increasing, as if a decayed wood was transforming into steel.

Life was evolving.

Observing its mysteries, all the thresholds and secrets of the Nascent Soul realm flowed into his spirit.

Seemingly realizing something, Lu Xuanji directly took out the gourd, beginning to craft a Fifth Grade Spirit Treasure.

A Fifth Grade Spirit Treasure corresponds to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators, it is extremely rare and precious, yet at this moment, he decided to craft an Insect Raising Gourd.

After ten years of crafting, the magical treasure was forged.

The gourd shone in a purple-gold color, engraved with Dao patterns, which were both real and mysterious, exuding a Dao charm with an indescribable transcendence rising within.

The interior of the gourd was spacious, approximately over a hundred cubic meters, containing traces of green droplets, known as the Emperor's Oar.

The grade of the Emperor's Oar inside had already reached Fifth Grade, almost an ultimate supplement for Fifth Grade demon beasts and a supreme delicacy for the Gold-devouring Insect.

Zhi zhi zhi!

The Gold-devouring Insect happily entered the gourd.

Savoring the environment inside, brimming with rich demonic aura, most suitable for the demon race's growth and for building nest structures.

Flashily moving, absorbing the essence of the Emperor's Oar.

Strolling inside the gourd, joyfully chirping.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Gold-devouring Insect called diligently, "Within two hundred years, I can enter Divinity Transformation!"

"Congratulations!"

Lu Xuanji smiled lightly, though he held little hope for the Gold-devouring Insect.

Upon reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, the combat power of the Gold-devouring Insect remained the weakest, possibly even weaker than some Nascent Soul cultivators.

Such a pity!

...

Time continued to flow, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

During these twenty years, Lu Xuanji sat in the cave mansion, continuously breathing in spiritual qi, circulating the Grotto World Pearl, letting streams of spiritual qi flow forth, entering the dantian.

In the dantian, the Golden Core was circulating, like a black hole constantly absorbing the external spiritual qi, circulating life and death, refining its essence.

The Golden Core was continuously expanding, growing from its previous particle state to the size of a watermelon.

The Pure Yang True Flame continually burned, refining the Golden Core, undergoing the baptism of flame, becoming increasingly brilliant, like refined pure gold, imperishable through myriad tribulations.

Magical power surged, already reaching one thousand two hundred Zodiacs of magical power.

Now, the strength of the magical power was no less than that of a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Not only was magical power increasing, but with the flushing of Creation Magical Power, the body underwent continuous metamorphosis, with qi and blood rich like a humanoid divine beast; the body radiantly shone like Liuli, exuding a protective glow, with an aroma wafting out without a trace of impurity, akin to the descent of an immortal.

The Pure Yang True Flame circled the body, endlessly cycling through life and death.

Much later, the Golden Core was compressed once again, shrinking from the size of a watermelon to a sesame seed, turning into a small black dot, circulating inside the dantian.

The compressed Golden Core was smaller, yet the magical power became even more refined.

Whoosh!

Lu Xuanji pointed his finger, a burst of magical power shot out, hissing through the air, seemingly piercing through everything.

Now a single thread of magical power could penetrate more than one and a half past threads of magical power.

"The Fifth Transformation of the Golden Core, finally achieved!"

Feeling the changes within his body, sensing the power of Creation Magical Power, Lu Xuanji smiled slightly with inexpressible joy in his heart.

With the rise in cultivation, it became generally difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators to kill him, greatly enhancing his safety.

"I must not be complacent; I can only rival the weakest of the Nascent Souls now. But if the demon race acts, it will undoubtedly be a stronger Nascent Soul cultivator. If I confront them with arrogance, I will surely perish in the tribulation!"

Lu Xuanji took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart.

Suppressing the pride that came with the sudden surge in cultivation.

Human nature must not be prideful, for once pride sets in, troubles easily follow.

...

As he stepped out of the cave mansion, feeling everything in Purple Sun Mountain, the mountains and rivers remained the same, only they seemed to carry an additional ethereal quality.

"Where is Hong Fu?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

Just then,

Hong Fu stepped forward and said, "My Lord!"

"Have there been any major events over these years?" Lu Xuanji asked.
