“Oh, does cultivating Divine Skills have something to do with condensing the Golden Core?” Yang Xiaotian asked in surprise.

It was the first time he had heard of this.

Fan Riquan nodded, “That’s correct. To break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, you must use the power of the Divine Skills you’ve cultivated to condense the Golden Core. The stronger the Divine Skills, the more formidable the condensed Golden Core will be.”

“If you can cultivate ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, then the condensed Golden Core will be of high quality!”

“Should you cultivate ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm, you can hope to condense a top-quality Golden Core!”

Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank, “The Summit Mastery Realm?”

The eleven Supreme Divine Powers left by Cao Shun, including the Netherworld Demon Hand, he had already cultivated them to the Perfection Realm.

But to think of cultivating these Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm was very difficult!

“That’s right, the Summit Mastery Realm,” Fan Riquan lamented. “Therefore, to condense a top-quality Golden Core is difficult! The Divine Dragon Empire has countless geniuses, yet few can condense a top-quality Golden Core!”

“Let alone a top-quality one, even a high-quality Golden Core is rarely seen. Out of the thousands of students in our Tiandou Academy, only a handful can condense a high-quality Golden Core.”

Many Martial Kings spend their entire lives unable to cultivate even one Supreme Divine Power to the Perfection Realm, not to mention cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, which for many Martial King powerhouses is as difficult as reaching the heavens.

As for reaching the Summit Mastery Realm, that’s practically wishful thinking.

“Do you really have to cultivate to the Summit Mastery Realm to do it?” Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask.

Fan Riquan shook his head, “Not necessarily. If you can cultivate a hundred Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, you may also hope to condense a top-quality Golden Core.”

A hundred!

Yang Xiaotian was speechless.

The difficulty was on a par with cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.

And where would one find so many Supreme Divine Powers?

Even if you successfully cultivated all the Supreme Divine Powers from Tiandou Academy, there were only about thirty.

With Cao Shun’s, it was only in the forties.

Nowhere near enough!

Fan Riquan continued, “Moreover, condensing a top-quality Golden Core from cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm will only yield an ordinary top-quality Golden Core. To condense the strongest ten types of top-quality Golden Cores, you need to cultivate at least twenty Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.”

Yang Xiaotian’s mouth hung open, unable to express his feelings in words.

Fan Riquan added, “As for the strongest top-quality Golden Core, it is necessary to cultivate thirty Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.”

Yang Xiaotian: “….”

Thirty, Supreme Divine Powers, Summit Mastery!

How long would he have to cultivate for that?

The key was, even if he cultivated, he still might not reach the Summit Mastery.

After a long time, Yang Xiaotian finally spoke hesitantly, “Has anyone ever condensed the strongest top-quality Golden Core?”

Fan Riquan shook his head, “Since ancient times, no one has condensed the strongest top-quality Golden Core any longer.”

Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, meaning that in ancient times, someone had managed to condense the strongest top-quality Golden Core.

“Senior Fan, for a Sword Dao master, how many Sword Hearts can one condense at most?” Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.

He had already condensed three Sword Hearts and was eager to know how many was the limit.

Fan Riquan said, “It is ten.”

Ten!

“`

“`

Yang Xiaotian’s brows furrowed.

If that were the case, he still lacked seven.

Seeing the expression on Yang Xiaotian’s face, Fan Riquan knew what he was thinking and said, “You should not belittle yourself. The ability to condense a Sword Heart already makes you an Unparalleled Sword Dao Genius. In the hundred years of Tiandou Academy, very few students have been able to condense a Sword Heart, and none have managed to condense three!”

“Furthermore, in the future, it is not impossible for you to condense the fourth or fifth Sword Heart.”

As for nine or ten Sword Hearts, being unparalleled throughout the ages, Fan Riquan didn’t dare to hope that Yang Xiaotian could condense that many Sword Hearts.

“Now, are there any students from other imperial academies who have condensed the fourth or fifth Sword Heart?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Fan Riquan hesitated before saying, “Unparalleled Academy has a Sword Dao Genius named You Yi who has condensed five Sword Hearts. This You Yi is no simple character; he was born with the Five Elements Sword Body! And he has an Innate Sword Heart!”

Yang Xiaotian was shocked: “Five Elements Sword Body, Innate Sword Heart!”

Fan Riquan nodded: “Indeed, a superior Sword Body, the Five Elements Sword Body! Moreover, he was born with a Sword Heart, and being a new student of Unparalleled Academy, he has condensed five Sword Hearts before the age of twenty!”

“Give You Yi enough time, and he will surely be able to condense nine Sword Hearts!”

Nine Sword Hearts!

That would be astonishing, transcending the past and present.

Nine Sword Hearts? Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists. Even Fan Riquan was certain that You Yi could condense nine Sword Hearts in the future, showing the height of his Sword Dao Talent.

However, it made sense. To be born with a superior Sword Body was already astonishing, not to mention being born with a Sword Heart—how many Sword Dao geniuses would despair at that.

“Besides You Yi, are there other students from imperial academies who have condensed Sword Hearts?” Yang Xiaotian was still curious.

After contemplating, Fan Riquan said, “Among the thirty-seven imperial academies, there are currently nine genius students who have condensed Sword Hearts. However, most of them have only condensed one Sword Heart.”

“The Six Paths Academy has a student named Qin Yu whose Sword Dao Talent is only stronger, not weaker than You Yi’s.”

Yang Xiaotian was startled. You Yi was born with a Five Elements Sword Body and an Innate Sword Heart, which was already monstrous. But Qin Yu’s Sword Dao Talent was even stronger?

Fan Riquan said, “This Qin Yu, likewise, was born with a Sword Body and an Innate Sword Heart, and his Martial Soul is an immensely powerful giant sword, tested to be a level thirteen top-tier Martial Soul.”

“However, Qin Yu is not from the same batch as you. He is with Ren Qingzhe, Chen Jun, Tian Meiling and others; Qin Yu has already been selected as a seed disciple by the Sky-Stepping Sect and will probably join them next year!”

The Sky-Stepping Sect!

The strongest among the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, ranking first among the ten Supreme Sects, even surpassing the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect in strength.

“Senior Fan, isn’t it possible that the ten Supreme Sects might choose someone as a seed disciple ahead of time?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

If possible, he wanted to join the True Dragon Divine Sect ahead of time.

Upon hearing this, Fan Riquan smiled and said, “To be selected as a seed disciple by one of the ten Supreme Sects ahead of time is difficult! Unless you can condense ten Sword Hearts, if you manage to condense ten Sword Hearts, or even more, the various Supreme Sects will be vying to choose you.”

“More than ten Sword Hearts?” Yang Xiaotian was startled.

Just now, Fan Riquan had said the most one could condense was ten Sword Hearts.

Seeing the confusion on Yang Xiaotian’s face, Fan Riquan explained, “Theoretically, a person can condense at most ten Sword Hearts, but with heaven-defying luck, it’s possible to condense eleven, or even twelve Sword Hearts!”

Hearing this, he shook his head: “However, such heaven-defying luck is easier said than found.”

A moment later, Yang Xiaotian left Fan Riquan’s courtyard.

Heaven-defying luck, huh?

He walked briskly toward the Sword Tower.

Today’s goal was to comprehend the fourth level!

Just as Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Sword Tower, he saw a large group of students standing in front of it, led by He Qingzhe, with Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong behind him.

It appeared that He Qingzhe and Guo Wei were waiting for him specifically.
