Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 360 - 265 Tribulation Passes, Elixir Forms_2
Chapter 360: Chapter 265 Tribulation Passes, Elixir Forms_2
At that moment, the black Tribulation Cloud once again shrank, now only a hundred feet in size. After the eight wave of thunder had dissipated, the cloud began gathering energy once more, and thick electric snakes tumbled within it.
Boom!
This time, the thunder that emerged was no longer in the form of regular electric arcs, but rather spheres as large as human heads, with Thunder Light like paste, their surfaces flickering with bright silver electric arcs.
Although these thunderballs were few in number, they emitted a strong aura of destruction.
Zhao Sheng felt that something was quite amiss, as such high-level Tribulation Lightning should only occur during the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, and by all logic, should not appear during the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation.
“Could it be that the Heavenly Dao looks down on me?”
...
No sooner had this thought left his mind than a tremendous peal of heavenly thunder erupted, and meteor-like thunderballs fell from the pitch-black Tribulation Cloud, their presence terrifyingly impressive.
As the thunderballs fell like meteors, they left behind trails of silver afterimages, illuminating the surroundings as if it were broad daylight.
Zhao Sheng caught his breath, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He summoned the Golden Crow True Fire in response, which instantly formed a three-meter-high golden fireball enveloping him.
Suddenly, a “Sun” bursting with dazzling light appeared above Xinglong City.
Boom!
One after another, the “meteors” smashed into the sun, exploding into brilliant bursts of piercing light, nearly blinding countless people around.
At the same time, the black thunder cloud in the sky also continued to shrink, until finally, after the last silver thunderball had also been devoured by the True Fire.
The hundred-foot black cloud suddenly dispersed, and daylight brightly returned to the sky, restoring clear weather.
At this point, Zhao Sheng’s face was extremely pale, and his body, though marred with numerous wounds, was healing rapidly.
Generally speaking, the stronger the strength of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the more severe the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation they attract, but if they can endure it, the benefits they gain after forming their Golden Core are naturally greater.
Zhao Sheng’s strength was undisputed, hence at last he attracted the intensity of Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation Six-Nine Divine Thunder, the power of which was extremely terrifying.
Of course, if ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators knew they couldn’t survive the Tribulation, they would generally use various methods to weaken the tribulation thunder.
Such secret techniques for evading Tribulation and prolonging life, although they could also eventually lead to successful Core Formation, would result in a Golden Core of poor quality because it went against the Heavenly Dao. The quality and strength of their Divine Soul would also be greatly reduced.
However, due to the difficulties of the Dao, only about one in a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators would eventually reach Core Formation, and even fewer would encounter the opportunity to form a True Golden Core.
Therefore, for ascending to the Golden Core Realm and obtaining long Life Span, the choice of most Foundation Establishment Cultivators is to use external forces to promote themselves to a Fake Pill, and ultimately, it’s better than perishing under Tribulation Thunder.
After the Heavenly Tribulation passed, Zhao Sheng’s body, while rapidly healing, also underwent a swift transformation.
Blood boiled tide-like within him, rolling torrentially from his limbs back to his heart.
As whiffs of rusty air continuously separated from the essence blood, his blood grew thicker, more vibrant, and heavy like mercury.
His bones emitted a faint blue light and were internally threaded with chilly Sword Qi.
His muscles were distinct, resembling bronze and gold, immensely tough yet not without elasticity.
His skin became as pale as jade, making him look like a jade stone man.
Looking at him now, his appearance had become quite handsome, completely lacking his original pointy ears and monkey cheeks.
About half a cup of tea’s time had passed, and the golden light on Zhao Sheng’s body turned from dim to bright, stabilizing around him as if he were a Divine being enveloped in golden light.
At this point, the “Sun” in the sky suddenly began to slowly descend, eventually hanging behind Zhao Sheng’s back.
The immense light heat released by the Sun heated up the surrounding hundred feet radius to an extreme, warping the air and manifesting and then burning spontaneous golden flames.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng frowned, his powerful Divine Sense sweeping around like a storm, causing the “Sun” behind him to rapidly shrink into a sun the size of a head, hanging at the back of his head.
And the Burning Sky Field was also compressed to about a meter or so.
Just then, the immense Spiritual Energy Sky Pillar suddenly collapsed, and a spirit rain began pouring down on Xinglong City, with a massive amount of Spiritual Energy flooding into the bodies of a million inhabitants.
Blessed by the Heavenly Dao, various hidden injuries, ailments, and wounds inside countless people’s bodies were rapidly healed.
Before one’s eyes, the flowers and trees around the city seemed to grow even lusher, bursting with vitality.
Some pregnant women’s fetuses were nourished by the spirit rain, and their constitutions began to undergo strange changes.
It could be foreseen that next year, Xinglong City would certainly see the birth of many infants possessing Spirit Roots.
…
“A Golden Core Master has emerged from the Xinglong Zhao Family!”
An astonishing piece of news exploded like a bomb, stunning countless minor and major forces and attracting the attention of numerous cultivators.
In just two days, within a 5,000-li radius around Xinglong Origin, Zhao Sheng became the topic of discussion among countless people.
This person had successfully traversed the Heavenly Tribulation under the public eye and smoothly ascended to the Golden Core.
Such a thing absolutely couldn’t be faked!
As the news swiftly spread, countless pieces of information regarding the newly advanced Master of the Zhao family were laid out on the tables of various faction leaders at the fastest speed.
“The new master is called Zhao Qingyang, not even seventy years old. How … how is this possible! What virtue and ability do the Zhao Family have to nurture such a Golden Core Daoist. Go verify it again!”
“Tsk tsk, withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation with his flesh body! This person is truly formidable. With such an individual in their family, the Zhao Family’s Qi Fortune has just increased by eight hundred years. Command down, all previous plans are canceled!”
“Zhao Qingyang, you indeed are not an ordinary individual! But I, Li Feixuan, am not inferior to anyone. Just wait, one day we will see who is superior.”
“Disciple, you bring your master to Xinglong City to deliver a gift to Master Zhao. Also, cede that Yin Wood Mine.”
“… double the tribute this year, then send it to Xinglong City as quickly as possible.”
“The Zhao Family finally has a Golden Core, congratulations are in order! The marriage alliance, I agree.”
Zhao Sheng’s ascension to the Golden Core not only greatly reassured the entire Zhao Family but also firmly reestablished the status of the Xinglong Zhao family.
Numerous joyful changes subsequently took place.
At this time, Zhao Sheng, the great contributor of the Zhao Family, claiming the need to stabilize his realm, suddenly entered seclusion, politely refusing all visits.
Of course, Zhao Sheng’s seclusion did not affect the grand celebration of the Golden Core Ceremony held by the Zhao Family.
One month later, Xinglong City was festooned with lights and colored ribbons; drums filled the air, and fireworks covered the sky like rainbows.
On the day of the Golden Core Ceremony, Zhao Sheng made a brief appearance and shared his cultivation experiences for four hours. He casually demonstrated several casting techniques, captivating many cultivators who had traveled to the place.
Afterward, Zhao Sheng re-entered seclusion and refused visitors.
As seasons changed from cold to hot, and the vegetation turned autumnal, more than half a year passed in a blink.
One day, an enticing fragrance wafted through the Zhao Mansion Garden.
In the stone pavilion, Zhao Sheng sat on a stone stump, casually casting without much care.
At that moment, the air in front of him slightly distorted. A golden roast rabbit floated in midair, its fats continuously seeping out. The moment these dripped down, they were evaporated by the invisible high heat, thereby releasing an enticing aroma.

“Grandpa, is it ready?”
Then, a small child dressed in a bright red bellyband, with soft fair skin suddenly tugged at Zhao Sheng’s pants, asking in a milky voice.
His two sapphire-like eyes were fixed on the golden, dripping rabbit, his face full of longing, and a trickle of saliva running down the corner of his mouth.
“Qi’er, be patient, it will be ready soon!”
Upon hearing his beloved grandson’s impatience, Zhao Sheng’s eyes suddenly flashed with Divine Light, the surrounding invisible high heat surged several times in an instant, forcing large drops of fat to be expelled from deeper within the rabbit. Yet, within the Burning Sky Field, Zhao Xiuqi felt not a bit of the scorching heat.
“It’s ready!”
Three breaths later, Zhao Sheng gestured with his hand, and the roast rabbit flew towards him, splitting into pieces in the blink of an eye.
A fragrant, golden rabbit leg suddenly landed in front of Zhao Xiuqi, who skillfully grabbed it.
With the delicacy in hand, his saliva immediately dropped.
Just as the child was about to take a hearty bite, he suddenly heard a stern shout from outside the pavilion: “Qi’er, don’t eat it!”
As soon as the voice faded, Dong Miaozhen, dressed in a red dress, quickly walked into the pavilion, followed by a group of serving maids.
