126: Chapter 126 Golden Core, Success

The group of Elders looked at each other.

In the end, Grand Elder Qin Cangyue stepped forward.

He looked at Liu Qingyan's tense expression, sighed, and said in a softened tone:

"Qingyan, we mean no harm."

"It is just that no one in the Sect has formed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core in a hundred years, so everyone is anxious."

"We are just here to witness it; we will absolutely not disturb his Breakthrough."

"No."

Liu Qingyan shook her head, still refusing to yield:

"I will not allow even the slightest accident to happen."

"This is the most critical moment of his Breakthrough; any interference could lead to his total destruction."

"Elders, please return."

"Liu Qingyan, don't go too far!"

Another Elder beside him immediately darkened his Face:

"Qingsu Peak is part of the Sect; it is not your private territory, Liu Qingyan!"

"Hmph, whoever dares to take a step further must first get past me."

Liu Qingyan's eyes also turned cold, unwilling to give any Face.

Grand Elder Qin Cangyue wanted to say something more.

However, a deafening thunderclap suddenly erupted in the sky.

Everyone looked up simultaneously.

A purple lightning bolt, thicker than the previous two combined, dove down from the tribulation clouds!

The lightning illuminated the entire Qingsu Peak as if it were broad daylight.

The roaring sound made everyone's eardrums ache.

The Elders with weaker cultivation even couldn't help but cover their ears.

Liu Qingyan's expression changed abruptly, and she turned her head sharply.

But this Lightning Tribulation was completely different from the previous two.

It did not dissipate after striking; instead, it poured down continuously.

"This... this is a Chain-Stacked Lightning!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong's expression was incredibly ugly:

"The tribulation clouds have stacked the power of all the subsequent Lightning Tribulations into this single one!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li's body trembled.

Jiang Yuwei could no longer hold back; tears streamed down her cheeks, and she covered her mouth tightly.

Inside the courtyard.

Mo Zixing gritted his teeth.

Enduring the continuous bombardment of lightning.

The numb sensation had long since turned into pain.

The lightning frantically tore at his Meridians and flesh.

The power of one lightning strike had not yet dissipated.

The power of the next one had already stacked on top of it.

Several Lightning Tribulations connected into an uninterrupted pillar of lightning, leaving him no time to even catch his breath.

Is there no end to this!

Mo Zixing cursed inwardly.

The Qi within his body circulated at high speed, resisting the erosion of the lightning.

The power of the Lightning Tribulation was endless.

His Qi was consumed extremely quickly, only to be rapidly replenished by the effects of the [Candle Dragon Bloodline].

This cycle repeated.

Mo Zixing simply closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the System interface.

He saw that the light of the [Thunderstrike Immortality] trait was growing brighter and brighter, almost covering the entire interface.

Mo Zixing did not passively endure it.

He gritted his teeth and guided the violent power of the Lightning Tribulation, washing over the sphere of light within his Dantian bit by bit.

Each lightning bombardment made the Fusion of the three types of Qi tighter.

Pain!

It was too painful!

But he knew this was the only chance.

Only by using the most violent power of the Lightning Tribulation could he completely shatter the barriers between the three types of Qi.

He did not know how much time had passed.

The continuous lightning finally stopped.

The tribulation clouds seemed to have exhausted quite a bit of power and temporarily withdrew their might.

The crowd outside the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it over?"

Jiang Yuwei asked in a low voice, her voice trembling.

"It should... be, right."

Su Li murmured, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the dust-filled courtyard.

Outside the courtyard.

Grand Elder Qin Cangyue nodded:

"He has withstood the Lightning Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core; it seems this kid..."

His words were not yet finished.

The tribulation clouds suddenly churned violently, turning an eerie pitch-black color.

A pressure even more terrifying than all the previous Lightning Tribulations combined shrouded the entire Qingsu Peak.

Everyone felt as if their throats were being strangled by an invisible giant hand.

Even breathing became difficult.

After only a moment.

A pitch-black lightning bolt crashed down!

This Lightning Tribulation had no ear-piercing roar, no blinding light.

Only pure destruction.

The entire courtyard was almost instantly razed to the ground.

Rubble flew everywhere.

Dust soared into the sky.

Even the Elders outside the courtyard were pushed back repeatedly by the shockwave.

"Zixing!"

Liu Qingyan's eyes were splitting with rage and worry; she didn't care about the other Elders anymore and lifted her leg to rush in.

And at the center of the lightning.

Mo Zixing's consciousness sank into his Dantian.

The roaring and pain from the outside world had vanished.

Before his eyes was only that sphere of light.

Tempered by the Lightning Tribulation.

The three types of Qi inside the sphere of light that had originally repelled each other had finally achieved Fusion.

The vitality of Wood.

The intensity of Fire.

The violence of Lightning.

Perfectly intertwined together.

A thousand points of Crystallization condense into a core.

Ten thousand Daos merge and converge.

A Small World forms on its own, opening the Heavenly Eye.

The mortal perspective is completely transformed.

As the last trace of the Lightning Tribulation's power merged into the sphere of light.

Hum.

A clear, resonant hum spread throughout the entire Qingdan Peak.

A shining Golden Core slowly began to rotate.

A faint golden light flowed over the surface of the Golden Core, seemingly forming a self-sufficient Small World.

The Golden Core is formed!

Mo Zixing slowly opened his eyes.

He could clearly feel that his five senses had become incredibly sharp.

The movement of the wind and grass nearby could be seen in their entirety.

The Qi contained within his body had surged more than tenfold compared to before.

Every gesture carried unimaginable power.

He gently clenched his fist and swung it.

The air itself emitted a sonic boom.

This was the power of the Golden Core Stage.

On the System interface.

[Trapped in Bottleneck (White)] slowly dissipated.

The original [Crystallization Level 9] in the cultivation bar turned into stardust.

It recombined.

And condensed into a brand new [Golden Core Level 1].

An exceptionally powerful wave of Qi swept across the entire scene, centered on Mo Zixing.

The dust soaring into the sky was instantly blown away.

It even blasted a hole through the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Sunlight pierced through the gap and shone down upon him.

The tyrannical Qi of three attributes swirled and danced around him, making him look incredibly sacred.

His figure flashed.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the several Elders outside the courtyard.

"Are you all here to find me?"
