Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Night enveloped the heavens and earth, and the Milky Way cast its chaotic spiritual light. The Eternal Immortal Abode slept peacefully in the ancient Chang'an Realm. Everyone in the academy breathed evenly and drifted into a peaceful dream. The energy of the chaotic spiritual spring, the stability of the spiritual jade steps, the gentle power of the spiritual food, and the elegant writing of the study flowed slowly through their bodies. Their Eternal Freedom Dao Body operated automatically, and their cultivation steadily and naturally improved.

A white jade rhinoceros lies beneath the central stone platform, and a spirit butterfly rests on a spirit bamboo branch. The only sounds in the entire grotto are the gentle murmur of the spirit spring and the soft breeze, as quiet as the beginning of time.

Qin Lindong sat cross-legged in the very center of the stone platform, his body devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations. The power of the peak eighth level of the Golden Core realm had already completely merged with the Chaotic Spiritual Vein, the Supreme Grotto-heaven, and the Eternal Chang'an Realm. After days of perfecting the spiritual spring, the long staircase, the study, the spiritual food, and the spiritual play, the last trace of slight barrier in his heart had completely dissipated, and the breakthrough to the ninth level of the Golden Core realm was now a natural progression.

He doesn't need to go into seclusion, doesn't need protectors, doesn't need any unusual phenomena, and doesn't need to alarm anyone.

One should calm one's mind and spirit, unite with heaven and earth, unite with the celestial realm, and unite with the peaceful atmosphere of one's family.

Within the dantian, the golden core slowly rotated, and the ninth layer of Dao patterns, like tender buds nourished by spring rain, naturally emerged, illuminated, and solidified. There was no roar, no storm, no change in the color of the sky and earth, only a peaceful and gentle atmosphere, where power quietly sublimated.

hum-

A faint Daoist voice echoed from the depths of his consciousness.

Golden Core Stage Ninefold Success!

The ninth level of the Golden Core realm is a legendary realm in Qinglan Prefecture and even the surrounding three prefectures. It is a height that even Nascent Soul ancestors look up to, and a truly invincible supreme being below the Deity Transformation level. Looking across the entire world, cultivators who can reach the ninth level of the Golden Core realm are one in ten thousand, truly the ceiling of their generation.

But for Qin Lindong, all of this was as calm as drinking water every day.

He slowly opened his eyes. There was no burst of golden light, no overwhelming divine might, only a deep and peaceful stillness, like the primordial chaos at its beginning, all paths returning to their source. His power was contained to the extreme; even standing before others, he appeared no different from an ordinary person. Yet, with a mere thought, the three provinces could be instantly overthrown, and the Eternal Chang'an Realm could be transformed into an unparalleled killing domain, unstoppable and invincible.

[Ding! Host has successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, attaining the supreme Dao and the ultimate mastery of all paths!]

[The final ascension of the Eternal Chang'an Realm: Eternal Boundless, unbreakable by any power above the Nascent Soul stage and below the Tribulation Transcending stage, unfathomable by the Heavenly Dao, and unalterable by time]

[The Supreme Grotto-Heaven is finalized as an Eternal Home, bound to the host's soul and connected to the lives of all its inhabitants; even if heaven and earth perish, the home will never perish.]

[The final evolution of the Chaos Spiritual Vein: the Primal Dao Vein, originating from the same source as the Great Dao, coexisting with chaos, possessing inexhaustible and eternal spiritual energy]

[Ultimate physical sublimation for all: Eternal Immortals, immortal and indestructible, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing, living as long as heaven and earth, and existing alongside the Immortal Abode]

[All members' cultivation levels have automatically increased to their current perfect level:]

He Yuzhu: Mid-stage Golden Core → Late-stage Golden Core

Qin Huairu: Early stage of Golden Core → Middle stage of Golden Core

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua: Peak Foundation Establishment → Early Golden Core Stage

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong: Peak Foundation Establishment → Early Golden Core Stage

Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, Jia Geng: Late Foundation Establishment → Peak Foundation Establishment

[Host reward: All paths lead to the same destination, eternal freedom and ease, no further breakthroughs or cultivation required, the Great Dao is eternally perfect]

The system's final notification, carrying the aura of chaotic Dao, descended, causing the entire immortal abode to tremble slightly, yet remaining completely silent. All spiritual objects automatically sublimated, all arrangements automatically perfected, and all individuals automatically broke through in their dreams, without disturbance, pain, or suffering. Upon waking, they found themselves in a higher realm, with a more stable foundation.

Overnight, the Eternal Immortal Abode gained five more Golden Core cultivators, all of whom had reached the peak of the Golden Core or Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they were placed anywhere in the three states, they would be a terrifying force. Yet they remained as calm and composed as ever, without the slightest arrogance or swagger.

Eight thousand miles away, all cultivators, demon beasts, and patriarchs of the three continents felt an eternal pressure originating from their very source. It was not killing intent, nor majesty, but a supreme existence that was untouchable, inviolable, and unfathomable. The rules of heaven and earth of the three continents were automatically rewritten: the Eternal Immortal Abode was the ultimate forbidden area, never to be mentioned, approached, or even contemplated.

All memories of the immortal abode faded automatically in the minds of outsiders. From then on, no one in the world remembered that there was such a celestial realm, and no one dared to recall that there was such a home.

The Eternal Immortal Abode is completely isolated from the world, offering utter freedom and eternity.

All of this remained unknown and unnoticed within the cave.

As the first rays of primordial morning light shone down, everyone in the courtyard awoke one after another. Feeling the perfect power within their bodies and their eternally indestructible physiques, gentle smiles appeared on their faces as they gathered before the central stone platform and quietly bowed in respect.

There were no cheers, no excitement, only calm gratitude and peace.

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, you have reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm and all paths have converged in your heart."

"Thank you for your protection, Immortal Lord. May the Immortal Abode be eternal and all its inhabitants live forever."

Qin Lindong nodded slightly, his voice calm and gentle, as if in casual conversation: "From now on, the Immortal Abode is complete, all paths are aligned, and in the years to come, I only need to live as I please, I have no other desires."

Everyone agreed in unison, feeling a sense of peace in their hearts.

He Yuzhu, in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, possessed a steady and powerful aura. He smiled and said, "Immortal Master, today I will use the spiritual energy of my original Dao vein to prepare the finest spiritual feast to celebrate the perfect completion of the Immortal Abode." Qin Huairu, in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, had an increasingly gentle demeanor. Holding the hands of her three children, who were already in the early stages of the Golden Core realm, she smiled tenderly and said, "We only wish to stay in the Immortal Abode, accompanying each other every day and living peacefully year after year."

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, despite their young age, had already reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm, yet remained innocent and carefree. Clutching their white jade spirit rhinoceros, they laughed and ran towards the jade staircase and the Starry Night Playground. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, both having reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm, were vigorous and walked towards the Spirit Bamboo Study with smiles. The four members of the Jia family, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, were content and quietly tended to their courtyard.

Qin Lindong stood with his hands behind his back by the spiritual spring, looking at the peaceful city before him, where all paths converged and the Great Dao was perfected. He finally understood that his Dao was not about killing, vying for supremacy, or seeking absolute dominance, but about protecting his homeland and ensuring the safety of his family.

Now, the Way has been achieved.

The rise and fall of the world outside is none of my concern;

The worldly strife and disputes are none of my concern.

I stay home and live a peaceful life;

May family always be with you, year after year without end.

Nine levels of Golden Core, all paths return to the heart.

When the Great Way is perfected, our homeland will endure forever.

Undisturbed by the world, untouched by dust.

Simply guard the immortal abode, and you will live a long and carefree life.
