# Golden Immortal
The Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud, hanging down with strings of pearls and radiating ten thousand auspicious rays, was overshadowed by the golden light of the Eternal Lotus Seed, dyed into a golden cloud.
The golden light blooming from the Eternal Lotus Seed illuminated this Small World that Tang Song had refined using the Five Yin Pouch and numerous Divine Artifacts and Magic Treasures as its foundation.
Within the dense golden light, the Small World, whose Origin/Source aura had already been largely devoured by Tang Song, gradually disappeared and collapsed...
Finally, within the entire Small World, only the two isolated islands where the Main God Hall and the Quantum Laboratory were located remained, along with the several thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen on the islands.
Accompanied by a burst of golden light, after a stream of golden light like a waterfall, the two isolated islands also vanished into the golden light.
After devouring a Small World,
Within the golden phantom of the Eternal Lotus Seed, a faint, extremely tender sprout slowly formed. Its vitality, however, was ten times more vigorous than that of the Tree of Wisdom in the Garden of Eden.
Perhaps because the Lotus Seed was only one-eighth of its original size, it had an innate deficiency, making this lotus sprout, which hadn't even broken its shell yet, appear somewhat illusory.
But the moment the lotus sprout formed, a surge of incredibly vigorous vitality instantly nourished Tang Song's Physical Body.
The gift from the Supreme God's remnant soul had allowed the two flowers representing Spirit among Tang Song's Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Flowers to cultivate to the budding stage.
One more step would be the Golden Immortal of Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit.
However, the vast vitality nourished by the Eternal Lotus Seed instantly, upon entering Tang Song's body, helped him break through several Acupoints that the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method had not yet reached.
In one fell swoop, it raised his Physical Body Cultivation Base to the Realm of the Third Cycle of the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method.
The Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method is the most top-tier Physical Body Cultivation Method in the Jambudvīpa World. It is said to have been created by the Dao Venerable, referencing the Physical Body of the Great Sage Pangu who created the world back then.
There are legends that cultivating the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the extreme can grant power comparable to the Great Sage Pangu, Proving the Dao with Strength.
As for whether it's true or false, no one knows, as since this Cultivation Method was first recorded, no one has ever cultivated it to the extreme.
Even the famous True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao only cultivated the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the Seventh Cycle.
When he cultivated the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the Sixth Cycle, he earned the title of Guardian War God of the Heavenly Court; even ordinary Great Principles would show him respect.
And having cultivated to the Seventh Cycle, he even held the esteemed reputation of being the Guardian of the Mystic Sect.
After cultivating to the Seventh Cycle of the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method, not only does the Physical Body possess the abilities of Regeneration from a Drop of Blood and Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations, but its Physical Body Strength can even rival Innate Spiritual Treasures.
It can be said that the Cultivation Base of True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao back then already far surpassed many Third Generation Disciples of the Martial Uncle generation.
The Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method's reputation as the number one body tempering Cultivation Method in the Jambudvīpa World is well-deserved; even the Eight Nine Arcane Art, which can cultivate the Sixteen-foot Golden Body, is a step below the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method.
After all, it's not that no one has cultivated the Eight Nine Arcane Art to perfection and cultivated the Sixteen-foot Golden Body.
But since the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method appeared in the Current World, no one has ever cultivated it to the Ninth Cycle.
This also shows how much this Cultivation Method relies on innate ability.
Similarly, cultivating the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method also requires a massive amount of Cultivation Resources.
Back in the Mystic Sect, a Third Generation Disciple once deduced that the Cultivation Resources needed to cultivate the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to Great Completion would likely require filling the entire Jambudvīpa Great World, and even then, it might not be enough.
This is also the reason why many people in the Mystic Sect did not choose this Guardian divine Cultivation Method.
Firstly, these first and second generation Mystic Sect disciples were either Innate Divine Beings or Innate Anomalous Beings with extraordinary innate foundations, born with powerful Physical Bodies that didn't require deliberate tempering.
Secondly, they simply couldn't see the hope of cultivating the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to Great Completion.
Take Tang Song, for example. Over the years, he had been refining Blood Pills using the Ghoul White Bone Banner and the power of the Asura Demonic Path to increase his Physical Body Cultivation Base.
Although it was called an Evil Technique and Demonic Path, with the Yin-Yang Great Mill condensed by the True Form Diagram of Yin Yang Taiji present, there weren't many hidden dangers.
Tang Song had devoured countless Great Cores condensed from Blood Qi, yet his Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method had only just barely reached the Second Cycle. However, his Physical Body was no weaker than the True Immortal Level Divine Beasts and Ferocious Beasts in the Jambudvīpa World.
Tang Song admitted that he was not a talented individual like True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao.
The further one cultivates the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method, the more terrifying the required Cultivation Resources become, in addition to innate ability.
It can be said to be a geometric growth.
Over the years, the Ghoul White Bone Banner had devoured countless flesh and blood and souls, plus the numerous Great Cores of Blood Qi condensed by Demons.
Combined with the Spirit Gathering Formation Tang Song had set up centered around the Great Luo Heaven, with Planetary Worlds as nodes,
It took a massive amount of Cultivation Resources to barely push the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the Second Cycle.
And the Cultivation Resources needed to break through the Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the Third Cycle were enough to make even the rich and powerful Boss Tang flinch a bit.
It was estimated that even throwing in the entire Tang Group would be a drop in the bucket.
Unless he also added the Heavenly Court and Underworld Government currently under construction...
And now, the vitality nourished by the Eternal Lotus Seed after devouring this Small World directly pushed his Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method to the entrance of the Third Cycle.
Powerful vitality and life force enveloped his entire body,
Tempering his Meridians and Collaterals, Five Zang Organs and Six Fu Organs, Qi Apertures...
Vast vitality and life force surged within his body,
The Space Gem in the Five-colored Lotus bloomed with a blue light, drawing in the power and energy from countless Dimensional Worlds...
This energy was continuously devoured by Tang Song.
Soon, Tang Song's Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method easily broke through the Second Cycle, then the Third Cycle, the Fourth Cycle...
From the portal opened by the Space Gem, the energy from several thousand Dimensional Worlds in this Universe poured down continuously, like a roaring mountain and a surging tsunami.
The vast vitality and life force nourished by the Eternal Lotus Seed protected Tang Song's entire body; his body functions became extremely powerful.
His Physical Body Cultivation Base advanced by leaps and bounds. Inside the Five-colored Lotus, thirty years passed before Tang Song refined this vast vitality...
After devouring and digesting this vitality,
Tang Song's Nine Cycles Profound Cultivation Method had successfully broken through to the Realm of the Fourth Cycle—his entire body's Qi and Blood surged and erupted like a volcano, and within each Acupoint, there was an energy mass as vast as a star releasing energy...
Above Tang Song's head, three streams of Qi Flow shot up into the sky, symbolizing the Qi flower whose Flower Bud slowly bloomed...
While only a few months had passed in the outside world, less than a hundred years had passed within the Five-colored Lotus...
Tang Song had already surpassed many ancient Immortals in the Jambudvīpa World who had cultivated in seclusion for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.
For the Immortals of the Jambudvīpa World, the gap between Pure Yang True Immortal and Golden Immortal of Creation was an impassable natural chasm.
Golden Immortals are Immortal and theoretically possess a lifespan comparable to the extremely long lifespans in the Jambudvīpa World, truly Longevity Equal to Heaven. Golden Immortals are already Patriarch-level Existences who can pass down an Orthodoxy in the Jambudvīpa World.
Even in the Ancient Heavenly Court, they were truly High-level Staff in the core positions.
In the Ministries of Thunder, Fire, and Plague, they could at least be a Department Head God.
And in the Marvel Multiverse, Tang Song's strength had now reached the Single Universe Level.
If we were to use someone as a reference, Sentry Robert Reynolds in the Marvel Universe 616 is roughly at this level, with slight differences, but not too far apart.
This Superhero, who shares the same codename as the Tang Group's Sentinel robots, was once an addict.
To get drugs, he broke into a certain Professor's Laboratory,
And accidentally drank the Professor's Secret Formula, gaining the Power of a Million Stars.
The Power of a Million Stars is an abstract number, but it illustrates the power awakened within his body. Although it cannot compare to the Supreme God's power of Creation of the entire Multiverse, it represents the limit of a Single Universe Level.
Tang Song's Qi flower, one of the Three Flowers above his head, had opened. His Physical Body Qi and Blood were filled to the extreme, showing a strong potential for Physical Body Attains Sainthood.
He was in no way inferior to this Sentry...
Of course, to temper his Physical Body to this extent in less than a hundred years.
Cultivation Resources, Opportunity, and luck were all indispensable.
For the energy required for his breakthrough...
Tang Song could be said to have exhausted the resources; the several thousand Dimensional Worlds in this Universe were almost drained dry!
Among them, many owned Dimensional Worlds had their Dimensional Evil Gods watching helplessly as their homes were emptied, yet they couldn't find the Killer.
Of course, the most unlucky was undoubtedly an Existence like the Dark Lord (Darkseid) Dormammu, who had combined himself with the Origin/Source of the Dimension.
In a sense, Dormammu's operation had a philosophy somewhat similar to the Daoist Union of Heaven and Man, resembling the Dao Venerable's operation of Integrating with Heavenly Dao.
It was just that Dormammu's operation was too crude, and he had only chosen one Dimensional World.
If each Dimensional World were compared to a fish pond,
Tang Song's operation was to use the power of the Space Gem to open breaches in several thousand fish ponds, stealing their water into his own reservoir.
For the owned fish ponds, the owners felt pain, but Dormammu had merged himself with the fish pond. What Tang Song stole wasn't his water, it was his life.
Dormammu had painstakingly devoured Planetary Worlds one by one for thousands of years, accumulating that little bit of family fortune, which was directly bled dry by Tang Song.
In a certain Dark Dimension, Dormammu, who had awakened from his slumber, opened his eyes, which were comparable in size to The Moon, in disbelief, looking at the Dimensional World that had shrunk by several thousand times.
"Where's my home? Who emptied my home!"
Dormammu even wondered if he had slept for too long, at one point suspecting that he was experiencing an illusion. He closed his eyes and opened them again. That's right, this was his Dimensional World.
But why was this Dimensional World weaker than when he first took over? Where did all the assets he had painstakingly accumulated go? Where did the resources he had painstakingly developed followers and plundered from various material planets go? The Dark Dimension echoed with bursts of curses...
The plaintive sound was like a cuckoo crying blood, making listeners weep and feel sorrow.
It was as if he came home from work and suddenly found his wife had run off with all the family property, and the child wasn't even his. That anger, that misery, all merged into the sounds of curses...
Even if Tang Song had once used the power of the collected Infinity Stones to make a wish that could convert all aberrant energy into spiritual energy...
Even though his Cultivation Base had reached the True Immortal Realm, his Physical Body couldn't support or digest such a massive amount of energy in a short time.
This was also thanks to the vast vitality nourished by the Eternal Lotus Seed, which allowed him to devour such a massive amount of energy like a whale,
Simultaneously stimulating Tang Song's Qi and Blood and stimulating his physical strength,
While continuously repairing the subtle damage caused to his body by the influx of vast energy,
Allowing him to cultivate frantically with a single mind.
His heart was like ice and snow, his body like a volcano...
As the powerful vitality nourished by the Eternal Lotus Seed was depleted, Tang Song had not only cultivated his Physical Body to the Golden Immortal Realm, but the two flowers representing Essence and Spirit were also trembling as if about to open.
Tang Song, immersed in the wonderful taste of cultivation, was just about to continue cultivating in seclusion with ascetic cultivation to cultivate his Magic Power and Nascent Divinity to the Golden Immortal Realm as well.
Suddenly, Tang Song perceived that someone was looking for him.
Tang Song spread out his Palm, and the Five-colored Lotus instantly decomposed into five gemstones of different colors, falling into his Palm.
Tang Song put away the Infinity Stones, took a step forward, and his body disappeared out of thin air.
After Tang Song disappeared, a huge black hole in The Void was left where the Small World had been...
Rolling cosmic dark energy poured into this black hole like a tide, mixed with countless space fragments, world fragments, and various space debris, filling it up instantly with a rumbling sound...
Fallen Star, East Galaxy Headquarters, in the top floor office that occupied three floors and overlooked most of Fallen Star.
Lane continuously poured the Magic Power cultivated from the Black Water True Method into the Jade Tablet in his hand.
As Lane continuously input Magic Power, golden light flickered within the Mutton Fat White Jade tablet, and a Mirror of Circular Light appeared above the Jade Tablet.
However, the Mirror of Circular Light was a state of chaos, mixed with five-colored streaking light, and the Boss's appearance did not show up. This caused Lane's brows to furrow, and he started worrying about the Boss's safety.
It was normal that Red Queen couldn't contact him while the Boss was cultivating in seclusion, but the Communication Jade Token the Boss had left behind had also lost its effect. What was going on?
Just as Lane was worrying about Boss Tang's safety, a shadow directly tore through space in front of him and stepped out.
Who else could it be but Tang Song.
"Boss!"
Seeing Tang Song appear out of thin air in front of him, the stone in Lane's heart finally dropped. He stood up and explained to Tang Song, "Boss, ten days ago, someone wanted to see you. Red Queen couldn't contact the sub-system by your side, so I used the Communication Jade Token to disturb you!"
"I was cultivating in seclusion during this time!" Tang Song waved his hand.
"It seems your Cultivation Base has become even more refined, Boss!"
Lane saw the smile overflowing on Tang Song's face at a glance and said with a smile.
"My Cultivation Base has indeed advanced quite a bit!" Tang Song walked to the sofa and sat down.
Lane skillfully walked to the wine cabinet nearby and mixed a cocktail symbolizing celebration.
Soon, Lane brought over two cocktails. He handed one glass to Tang Song, took a glass himself, and sat down opposite Tang Song.
"You're usually so busy, but your skills haven't declined. The cocktails you mix are still so great!"
After a sip of cocktail, Tang Song revealed a look of appreciation.
Lane, however, gave Tang Song a gaze, letting him figure it out himself.
Leader, you hands-off Boss still know I'm busy!
Do you want to share some of the burden for me?
"Hmm, the cocktail is indeed delicious. By the way, you said someone was looking for me?"
Tang Song drank a sip of cocktail and decisively changed the subject.
Looking at his own lazy Boss, Lane sighed helplessly, and only then said:
"Boss, Tony Stark was looking for you!"
"Tony? What does he want with me?"
Because they walked different paths, the two rarely interacted anymore.
Furthermore, having not returned to Earth for a long time, Tang Song remembered the last time he met Tony Stark was at his daughter's baptism.
"Boss! The one who came to visit you this time is another Tony Stark!" Lane's look was a bit strange.
"Another Tony!"
