"BOOM!" A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the shackles between heaven and earth had been suddenly broken. A surge of even more powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body, soaring into the sky, as if threatening to tear the entire heavens apart. In that instant, his body seemed to have undergone countless trials and tribulations. Every inch of skin, every bone, underwent subtle yet profound changes, a clear sign of a transformation towards a higher realm. Countless currents seemed to surge through his body, and every cell rejoiced, as if welcoming a new life. His eyes grew deeper, as if piercing all illusions. His aura grew richer, as if suppressing all evil. In this moment, he seemed reborn, a brand new being, a being even more powerful and more perfect.

Finally, after a long period of cultivation and waiting, when all his spiritual energy converged in his dantian, a dazzling golden elixir slowly condensed. This golden elixir was not only the crystallization of his years of painstaking cultivation, but also the embodiment of his unwavering will and unyielding faith. At this moment, he seemed to be able to sense the laws and mysteries of heaven and earth, as if he could hear the whispers of the universe, and forged a closer connection with this vast universe.

His mind seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, merging with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Every breath was a silent communion with the universe, every heartbeat echoing the pulse of heaven and earth. His eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if he could discern all the falsehoods and truths of the world. His body emanated an unprecedentedly powerful aura, as if it could shake mountains and rivers and alter the course of events.

As the golden elixir gradually condensed, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light never before seen in them. He deeply felt that he had successfully broken through the bottleneck and reached the Golden Core stage. This meant that he had stepped into a higher level of the immortal cultivation world and entered a new stage of cultivation.

During this long process of cultivation, he experienced countless hardships and tribulations, and every breakthrough came with enormous risks. However, it was precisely these difficult challenges that made him more resilient. Now, when he felt the warm energy emanating from the golden elixir within his body, his heart was filled with endless joy and a sense of accomplishment.

A breakthrough to the Golden Core stage wasn't just an advancement in cultivation; it was also a deepening of his understanding of the laws of nature. He knew that from now on, he would be able to master more magical skills and possess even greater power. At the same time, he also understood that a higher level meant greater responsibilities and challenges.

"Congratulations, Uncle Shan, for successfully advancing to the Golden Core realm." Ying Li saw that Shan Zhizhi had consolidated his Golden Core cultivation and immediately expressed her congratulations, her face filled with joy.

"Director, congratulations!" Seeing this, the others also stepped forward to congratulate him, sending letters to Shan Zhi expressing their sincerest blessings. The addition of a Jindan-level cultivator to the Security Bureau was undoubtedly joyous and exciting news. It also meant that China would have a greater voice on the international stage, and its position would be more secure.

Shan Zhizhi's advancement was not only a personal advancement, but also a source of honor for the entire Security Bureau and even the Chinese cultivation world. Golden Core cultivators held a high status and influence internationally, and their presence undoubtedly brought more opportunities and advantages to the nation.

Shan Zhizhi's advancement not only earned him respect, but also won China more say and influence in the international cultivation world. This was not only his personal glory, but also the pride of the entire country.

Other members of the Security Bureau were also extremely proud of Shan Zhizhi's success. They knew that with a strong man like Shan Zhizhi in charge, the Security Bureau would become stronger and China's position on the international stage would become more stable.

"Okay, it's night time now, everyone should rest here and strengthen vigilance." Seeing that everyone had expressed congratulations, Ying Li reminded everyone, "Uncle Shan, the journey ahead will be even more dangerous. You should continue to practice tonight to ensure that your cultivation in the Jindan realm is thoroughly consolidated." Her words were full of concern and expectation.

The rest of the group quickly divided their efforts, setting up camp, lighting a campfire, spreading insect repellent, and vigilantly monitoring their surroundings. Each of them understood that night was when nocturnal animals were most likely to attack, so they had to remain vigilant and ensure the safety of the camp. The glow of the campfire flickered in the darkness, and the scent of insect repellent filled the air, providing a measure of protection.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the sky, Ying Ni and her companions were already busy, carefully packing their belongings. They were about to embark on a new journey, continuing deeper into the mysterious and ancient heartland of Shennongjia. Since ancient times, the heartland of Shennongjia has been considered a forbidden area, full of unknowns and dangers.

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, dappling their determined faces like nature's silent challenge. Sunlight filtered through the foliage, forming shafts of light that illuminated their faces, as if crowning their courage and resolve. Surrounding them were towering ancient trees, like guardians of time. Their trunks were covered in a layer of emerald moss, witnessing the passage of time and the changes of history. Like the mark of time, this moss recorded the passing of seasons and every moment of history.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and leaves, like nature's breath, bringing a feeling of incomparable freshness and comfort. Occasionally, the aroma of unknown flowers mingles, a gift from nature, refreshing the mind and making all worries fade away. Yet, amidst this tranquility and beauty, a subtle unease lingers. Perhaps this unease stems from a fear of the unknown, or perhaps from a reverence for the power of nature. Regardless, it serves as a reminder that nature is both beautiful and mysterious and powerful.

They advanced slowly along a path nearly devoured by weeds, taking each step cautiously, fearing to disturb the tranquility that had slumbered for millennia. The chirping of birds rose and fell, but their presence vanished, leaving only a series of crisp echoes that reverberated through the dense forest. Leaves rustled in the breeze, as if they too were telling the secrets of this ancient land. As they advanced, the light dimmed, and the scenery grew deeper and more elusive. A chill rose from the soles of their feet, penetrating their hearts, as if the land itself were welcoming them in its own unique way. They knew they were approaching the heart of Shennongjia's most mysterious region, where countless unsolved mysteries lay hidden, along with unknown dangers. Legendary creatures, ancient legends, and mysterious natural phenomena all intertwined in a mystical tapestry.
