150: Overcome tribulation!

After discussion, Zhang Fan decided to invite five Golden Core Realm protectors.

They were: Second Uncle Zhang Hongmeng, Forty-Seventh Aunt Zhang Hongya, Father Zhang Hongcheng, Hua Xia, and Jiang Yan!

Actually, with Zhang Hongcheng and Hua Xia's influence, inviting ten or eight more Golden Core Realm cultivators would be no problem, but it wasn't necessary!

Five Golden Core Realm cultivators standing guard were enough to handle most dangers!

If a crisis couldn't be handled by five Golden Core Realm cultivators, then even more Golden Core Realm cultivators would be meaningless!

That would mean a power beyond the Golden Core Realm had intervened!

So, it was enough!

Afterward, Zhang Hongcheng went out to visit his second brother and forty-seventh sister.

Guo Mi returned to talk to Jiang Yan, and Zhang Fan began preparations.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare; just enough Divine Tree Juice would suffice.

Zhang Fan possessed Super Self-Healing divine ability; as long as he had enough Congenital One Qi, no matter how much lightning struck him, it couldn't kill him!

Time quickly passed to two days later, and three flying cars left Chang'an City and entered the vast Wilderness Area.

They flew deep into the Qinling Mountains before the three flying cars finally stopped.

A group of people successively emerged from the cars; it was Zhang Fan and his party.

In addition to the original personnel, Yang Ling, Guo Mi, and Jiang Shengnan also came.

Guo Mi was already nine months pregnant, and the doctor said her due date was in these few days; she could give birth at any time.

Zhang Fan originally didn't want Guo Mi to come, but she insisted on following along.

Zhang Fan had no choice but to ask Jiang Shengnan to help take care of her.

"This is the place!"

Zhang Hongcheng said, "During the last beast tide, the high-level monsters in the Qinling Mountains were almost completely wiped out!"

"Plus, this place is deep in the Qinling Mountains, sparsely populated!"

"The threats from both monsters and humans are very low!"

"This place is very suitable for transcending the tribulation!"

After carefully surveying the area, Zhang Fan said, "This will do!"

Zhang Hongcheng nodded, patted his son's shoulder, and earnestly cautioned, "Xiao Fan, be careful with everything!"

"Yes, Xiao Fan, you must be careful, and you must take care of yourself!" Yang Ling said, her eyes red with worry.

Upon learning that her son was going to transcend the tribulation, her heart had been hanging, and she had been having nightmares these past two days, fearing any mishap.

"Brother Zhang Fan!"

Guo Mi and Hua Xia also looked at Zhang Fan, their faces filled with worry.

"Everyone, please rest assured!"

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "A mere lightning tribulation cannot harm me!"

After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he soared into the sky and flew towards the nearest mountain peak.

Everyone watched his retreating figure, some worried, some hopeful.

"Less than a year, and he's at the perfected Golden Core Realm!" Zhang Hongmeng sighed with emotion, "Father's discernment is indeed sharp!"

"I finally understand why Father favors Xiao Fan so much!"

Zhang Hongya also nodded.

As Golden Core Realm cultivators themselves, they clearly understood what it meant to break through from an ordinary person to the Golden Core Realm in just one short year!

It meant extraordinary talent, astonishing brilliance, and unparalleled aptitude!

No amount of praise would be an exaggeration!

Even with the cultivation of the old man, a Demigod, the hardships and sacrifices involved were beyond imagination!

It's still the same saying: you can pile up resources to create a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

But to forge a Golden Core Realm cultivator in just one short year is almost impossible!

Yet Zhang Fan did it!

Zhang Hongmeng and Zhang Hongya didn't know what their nephew had gone through, but they were both convinced, completely convinced!

The two could imagine that Zhang Fan's future would undoubtedly be limitless!

Their Zhang family might become even more glorious because of Zhang Fan!

"Second Brother, Sister!"

Zhang Hongcheng looked at his brother and sister: "I'm counting on you!"

"Don't worry, Old Fourth, Xiao Fan is our nephew. If some blind fool dares to cause trouble today..."

Zhang Hongmeng snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Hmph! I'll make sure he never returns!"

After speaking, Zhang Hongmeng soared into the sky and shot towards Zhang Fan's east.

Zhang Hongya also said, "Fourth Brother, you can rest assured on my side! With me here, no one will get close to Xiao Fan!"

Zhang Hongya went to the west.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Hua!"

Zhang Hongcheng then looked at the two women.

"I don't want my nephew to be born without a father!"

Jiang Yan snorted and also flew away, heading north of Zhang Fan.

Hua Xia said in a deep voice, "Uncle, Auntie, if anyone wants to harm Zhang Fan, they'll have to step over my corpse!"

"I'm counting on you, Xiao Hua!"

Hua Xia and Zhang Hongcheng also separated, and along with Zhang Hongmeng, Zhang Hongya, and Jiang Yan, the five of them surrounded Zhang Fan in the center from five directions to ensure absolute safety!

Yang Ling, Guo Mi, and Jiang Shengnan watched from afar, not approaching.

Zhang Fan arrived at the peak of that mountain, found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his state.

He quickly adjusted to his optimal state, then Zhang Fan removed his Golden Armor, allowing it to transform into a water droplet and adhere to his chest.

After doing all this, Zhang Fan took a deep breath and opened his mouth to spit out his Qi Core.

The Qi Core was about the size of a walnut, shining brightly, round and plump, like a peeled egg, suspended above Zhang Fan's head.

"It has begun!"

Zhang Hongcheng and the others had been keeping an eye on Zhang Fan. Seeing him release his Qi Core, their spirits lifted, and they became extremely vigilant.

"Rise!"

With a thought, Zhang Fan's Qi Core flew into the air, ascending two or three hundred meters high, hovering in mid-air.

As the Qi Core appeared, the surrounding cloud masses seemed to be drawn by an unknown force, gathering rapidly.

The clouds gathered more and more, and their color deepened.

From white, they turned gray, light gray, and then black.

In less than an hour, a large expanse of black clouds had gathered above Zhang Fan's head, covering an area of dozens of kilometers.

Lightning snakes slithered within the dark gray storm clouds, and thunder rumbled. The terrifying pressure made everyone hold their breath.

Zhang Fan also looked up.

The Qi Core's ability to attract clouds was actually a phenomenon of attraction between opposite charges.

Scientists discovered that the Qi Core was yin-attributed and carried a massive negative charge.

Once released, it would attract the positive charges in the clouds, causing the surrounding clouds to gather rapidly.

Once the positive charges in the clouds accumulated to a certain extent, and the potential difference with the Qi Core became too great, a discharge phenomenon would occur, which is thunder!

So, the entire tribulation transcending process was actually a process of creating artificial lightning!

During this process, the Titan Warrior used the positive charges in the lightning to neutralize the negative charges in the Qi Core.

Thereby allowing the Qi Core to transform from yin-attributed to non-attributed!

This was the so-called Qi Core transforming into Yang, evolving into a Golden Core!

As time passed, the clouds in the sky finally accumulated to a certain extent.

The cloud layer carried terrifying energy, and under electrostatic induction, everyone felt the hair on their bodies stand on end.

Feeling the terrifying energy carried by the dark clouds, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Yang Ling and Guo Mi tightly clenched their hands, their bodies trembling.

"Crack—"

The first bolt of lightning tore through the darkness, striking the Qi Core squarely.

Under the immense energy impact, the Qi Core was instantly struck down towards the ground.

Zhang Fan quickly controlled the Qi Core, keeping it steadily suspended above his head.

"Crackle! Pop!"

Arcs of electricity traveled across the Qi Core, rapidly neutralizing the negative charges it contained.

"Crack! Crack!"

Next, lightning bolts struck down one after another, and the Qi Core steadily received them.

However, as the number of lightning strikes increased, the Qi Core finally couldn't bear the burden, and tiny cracks appeared on its surface.

Seeing this, Zhang Hongcheng loudly reminded, "Xiao Fan, retrieve your Qi Core!"
