Chapter 477 Stunned, 8 Golden Cores!
The eighteen golden cores were arranged in a mysterious pattern, slowly rotating, and connected by golden Dao patterns, forming a complex formation.
Golden Core Formation!
Shen Rugo was completely dumbfounded.
"How could this be?"
She looked inward at the scene in her dantian, her mind blank. "Aren't Golden Core cultivators only allowed to condense one Golden Core? What's going on with these eighteen? And aren't they all huge?"
She tried to mobilize her spiritual power.
The eighteen golden cores trembled simultaneously.
boom!
A vast, boundless spiritual energy surged forth instantly, coursing through her meridians. The power was so strong that she felt she could shatter a mountain with a single punch!
"This power..."
Shen Rugo was both surprised and delighted, "At least ten times that of an ordinary Golden Core! No, a hundred times!"
Shen Rugo didn't know why things were like this, but she knew that her current combat strength could no longer be judged by common sense.
"Never mind that, let's stabilize our cultivation level first."
She focused her mind and continued to absorb spiritual energy to stabilize the eighteen newly formed golden cores.
The spiritual energy of the treasures within the cave is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The spirit stones that were once piled up like mountains are now just piles of ash, and the pills, ores, and spirit herbs have been completely consumed.
Such consumption would scare many people to death if word got out.
Finally, when the last spiritual herb turned to ashes, Shen Rugo's cultivation level was completely stabilized.
Eighteen golden pills slowly rotated in the dantian, echoing each other and forming a perfect cycle.
Above the Golden Core, faint Dao patterns emerge, the imprint of the Great Dao, the foundation for the future condensation of the Nascent Soul.
Shen Rugo opened her eyes, a flash of golden light appearing briefly. She felt the immense power within her, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"The Golden Elixir has been successfully formed."
Shen Rugo was so engrossed in her cultivation that she was completely unaware of the passage of time. Although her Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art was terrifyingly powerful, it required far too much spiritual energy. By the time the massive resources were exhausted and the Golden Core was formed, more than ten days had unknowingly passed.
Just as Shen Rugo was consolidating her cultivation, Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist were anxiously waiting on Xingchen Peak.
One day passed, and there was no movement from Jade Maiden Peak; two days passed, and there was still no movement.
"I wonder how the child is doing. She broke through to the Golden Core stage in such a hurry. We haven't even taught her in detail how to break through to the Golden Core stage or how to condense the Golden Core. I'm really worried about whether she can succeed or if something will go wrong."
The Starry Sky Taoist became increasingly worried, muttering to himself incessantly.
"Stop being so fussy, you brat! This little darling is so smart, he doesn't need us to teach him."
She already knew some things.
Besides, our Star Palace Secret Realm has so many cultivation techniques. We don't even need to tell her; this child has probably already studied them all. She might even know better than we do what she needs to do!
Qinghe Daoist kicked Xingchen Daoist hard and then spoke words of comfort.
"I hope it's as you say, Uncle-Master. This child is so intelligent; if he really didn't know how to condense a golden core, he wouldn't have kicked us out so easily!"
Daoist Xingchen nodded repeatedly, feeling somewhat at ease.
Even so, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, unconsciously clenched.
On the morning of the third day, a sudden change occurred, but not on Jade Maiden Peak, but on Sky Peak!
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar shook the entire mountain peak of the Star Palace.
Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist turned their heads at the same time, only to see that dark clouds had gathered above Changkong Peak. The clouds were as black as ink, layer upon layer, covering an area of dozens of miles. Within the clouds, lightning snaked wildly and thunder rumbled.
"Is Chang Kong about to break through?"
Xingchen Daoist's eyes widened.
Before the words were finished, a figure in white rose into the sky from Changkong Peak, standing in mid-air beneath the dark clouds.
It was Xiao Changkong!
His white robes fluttered in the wind, a long sword gripped his hand, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"Good lad! He's actually broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage. The Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner!"
Master Qinghe was overjoyed.
Xiao Changkong was only twenty years old when he broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage. This speed was unprecedented in the entire Tianyuan Continent's cultivation world.
"Let's go and have a look!"
The two transformed into streaks of light and instantly appeared near Changkong Peak.
At the same time, the other four peaks were also alerted.
Ye Xinghe rose into the air, Lu Haoran arrived on his sword, and Xiao Qiushui and Chen Tianba rushed out of the cave almost simultaneously, bickering and shouting as they flew over.
The four stood suspended in mid-air, gazing at the scene above Changkong Peak, all utterly astonished.
"Senior Brother has broken through?"
Xiao Qiushui's mouth dropped open.
"Peak of the Golden Core stage..."
Chen Tianba clenched his fist, his eyes filled with both envy and resentment. "This guy has gotten ahead of us again!"
Ye Xinghe and Lu Haoran exchanged a glance, both seeing the pressure in each other's eyes.
Junior Sister Shen Rugo gave them a large amount of cultivation resources, which greatly increased their cultivation speed, but she also set almost impossible cultivation tasks for them.
Now, Senior Brother Xiao Changkong has broken through and completed the mission ahead of schedule.
High in the sky.
"boom!"
The first lightning bolt struck down.
The lightning bolt was entirely silver-white, striking straight down from the dark clouds and reaching Xiao Changkong's head in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Changkong neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his sword to meet the attack.
"break!"
The sword light, like a rainbow, collided with the lightning tribulation.
A deafening roar shook the heavens, and sparks flew everywhere.
Xiao Changkong was struck down three zhang, but his aura did not decrease but increased, and he shattered the lightning tribulation with a single sword strike.
"it is good!"
The Starry Sky Taoist cheered from afar.
But the tribulation of lightning has only just begun.
The second way, the third way, the fourth way...
One lightning bolt after another struck down, each one thicker and stronger than the last.
From the thickness of a wrist to the thickness of a water vat, the color of the lightning gradually changed from silver-white to tinged with gold.
Xiao Changkong's sword moved faster and faster.
He was using the Starry Sky Sword Technique, personally taught by the Starry Sky Daoist. The sword light was like a galaxy rolling backwards, or like stars falling.
Each sword strike precisely hit the weakest point of the lightning tribulation, resolving the greatest crisis at the lowest cost.
He withstood the first thirty-six lightning tribulations one by one.
At this moment, his white clothes were stained black, and his long hair was somewhat disheveled, but his eyes were becoming brighter and his aura more imposing.
"The Fifth-Nine Thunder Tribulation!" Qinghe Daoist's expression turned solemn. "Changkong is about to undergo the Fifth-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"
Ordinary Golden Core cultivators undergoing tribulation usually face a tribulation of one or two nines, with a maximum of four nines. A tribulation of five nines is something only legendary ancient geniuses could trigger!
Xiao Changkong actually possesses such talent!
The thirty-seventh lightning bolt struck down.
This one is pure gold!
Golden lightning tribulation, also known as Gengjin divine lightning, is ten times more powerful than silver lightning tribulation.
Xiao Changkong's expression turned solemn as he finally unleashed his trump card.
Stellar Transformation!
He pointed his long sword to the sky, and a phantom of a starry sky appeared behind him, including the Big Dipper, the Southern Dipper, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions...
Countless stars lit up in the void, their starlight converging to form a sword light that pierced the heavens and slashed upwards!
The sword light collided with the golden lightning.
Heaven and earth faded.
The blinding light made everyone close their eyes.
