Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 468 - 474: Success

”Someone is breaking through to Golden Core!”

”I wonder which fellow Daoist it is.”

”Hmph! Yet another fool who overestimates himself, seeking his own death.”

Because Xie Tianyu was in closed-door cultivation within Red Pine Market, people naturally assumed he was a Loose Cultivator; after all, if he wasnʼt, then why would he choose to transcend his tribulation here?

The eyes of the Loose Cultivators were filled with envy, jealousy, admiration, and hope.

Before the first Tribulation Thunder struck, Xie Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed the reminder in his heart and only consumed the Sky Cleansing Pill.

”Hmm?” Li Zhirui, observing the scene through a magic artifact, slightly raised an eyebrow, not understanding why he would make such a choice.

However, given the current situation, Li Zhirui could only watch from the sidelines. He couldnʼt do anything else but let Xie Tianyu decide for himself.

At this moment, Xie Tianyu, who was directly facing the Thunder Tribulation, felt a continuous and yet very gentle stream of mana within his body, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes.

If the effects of the Sky Cleansing Pill could last a little longer, then he would not be afraid to face the Tribulation Thunder!

With enough mana, even if he had to withstand the assault head-on, he could hold off the attacks!

Boom—

The first Tribulation Thunder roared down towards Xie Tianyu, its terrifying power seemingly capable of tearing through space, causing the many Loose Cultivators watching nearby to change their expressions drastically.

”So the Golden Core Tribulation is this terrifying? No wonder true Golden Core experts are so rare!”

Such comments could only come from Loose Cultivators. Any Cultivator with a bit of background would know that the Golden Core Tribulation is not as exaggerated as it appears.

Because he didnʼt need to worry about lacking mana, and to be safe, Xie Tianyu used fifty percent of his mana to counter the first Tribulation Thunder. Various spells bloomed like dazzling, exploding fireworks, splendid yet fleeting.

This method was very effective. The Tribulation Thunder was continuously weakened, and by the time it reached the defensive spells cast by Xie Tianyu, its power had reduced to a mere tenth of its original strength.

”The Sky Cleansing Pill can actually restore mana continuously?” Li Zhirui also noticed the changes within Xie Tianyu and murmured in surprise.

Of course, the primary ability of the Sky Cleansing Pill was to increase the chances of Core Formation and accelerate the transformation of mana from a ʼliquidʼ state to a ʼsolidʼ state.

And the restoration of mana was an unexpected bonus. However, for a Cultivator facing Tribulation Transcendence, this point was also very important. After all, only with enough mana could they ensure they would safely transcend the Thunder Tribulation.

For the second Tribulation Thunder, Xie Tianyu repeated the process, using a large amount of mana to weaken the Tribulation Thunder so that he could safely transcend it.

And before the final Tribulation Thunder struck, Xie Tianyu swallowed a Golden Ganoderma Pill. Although he didnʼt know why he was doing this, he seemed to ʼhearʼ a reminder from somewhere telling him that this was the best time to consume the Golden Ganoderma Pill.

Very soon, Xie Tianyuʼs face revealed a trace of happiness. He had never expected that the Golden Ganoderma Pill could actually strengthen the filmy, not yet fully substantial Golden Core in his Dantian, providing it with a thin protective layer!

One must know that the third Thunder Tribulation of the Golden Core Tribulation is the one that refines the Golden Core. Only after passing this test would the Golden Core truly take shape!

”It seems that the Golden Ganoderma Pill also has special effects I wasnʼt aware of?” Li Zhirui was also quite surprised; he truly hadnʼt expected that the two Spirit Pills could not only increase the chances of Core Formation but also have additional effects.

And judging by Xie Tianyuʼs expression, it must be a favorable effect.

Therefore, the third Tribulation Thunder was not very challenging for Xie Tianyu, and he managed to completely dissipate it with ease.

It was indeed the Heart Demon Tribulation at the end that Xie Tianyu struggled to break free from for a long time, so long that Li Zhirui started to think he had failed.

This was not uncommon for Loose Cultivators—many who faced the Golden Core Tribulation failed at this very step.

To survive and reach the Core Formation stage, the strength of Loose Cultivators definitely couldnʼt be poor, considering that those without strength would have grass growing over their graves.

However, for this reason, Loose Cultivators didnʼt have the time, or rather, they simply didnʼt spend time on cultivating their dao heart and will.

”Sigh,” Li Zhirui let out a helpless sigh. Although he had observed with mana very carefully, it still fell far short compared to hearing it from the person himself. But alas, Xie Tianyu didnʼt show any effort and was about to get lost in the Heart Demon Illusion Realm and be devoured by the Heart Demon.

But sometimes, life is full of surprises!

In the last moment, Xie Tianyu made a miraculous comeback, awakening from the Heart Demon Illusion Realm and overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation!

Instantly, the rolling Tribulation clouds turned into dense and pure Spiritual Energy, forming a beam of spiritual light that poured down on Xie Tianyu.

Then in an instant, the Golden Core within his body began to grow and become more rounded bit by bit.

”Heʼs succeeded!”

”A Golden Core cultivator has emerged among the Loose Cultivators!”

”Does that mean that as long as we diligently cultivate, we too can one day become Golden Core cultivators?”

The onlooking Loose Cultivators let out bursts of astonished cries. Although they didnʼt know the person, he had given them confidence and hope. Perhaps they could also become Golden Core cultivators one day!

”Lucky guy,” muttered Li Zhirui with a light chuckle, then withdrew his mana and transmitted his voice to Xie Tianyu, telling him to first stabilize his realm and then find him at the Li family.

Of course, to prevent him from running away, Li Zhirui specifically instructed members of the Red Pine Market to keep an eye on him.

Fortunately, although Xie Tianyu was excited, he knew to whom he owed all of this and thus nodded obediently.

Meanwhile, Xie Tianyu had other thoughts in mind; he wanted to form a connection with Li Zhirui, or at the very least, cling tightly to the Li familyʼs coattails!

He wasnʼt too confident about the former possibility, but he thought the latter shouldnʼt be an issue. Surely the Li family wouldnʼt refuse a Golden Core force as a vassal, right?

After all, as a tester for the Spirit Pills, he clearly knew how much these two pills could aid Core Formation, and it was definitely not as simple as just raising the success rate by over thirty percent.

”He succeeded?”

When Li Zhirui returned to his clanʼs territory, Li Shiqing, the only one aware of the matter, immediately called him over, his face brimming with excitement. ”Did he succeed?”

”He did,” nodded Li Zhirui. A smile covered his face as he said, ”I told him to first consolidate his realm, then come find me to talk about his experience taking the Spirit Pills.”

This would be the perfect opportunity for him to carefully study the recording and the two types of Spirit Pills.

”Excellent, excellent, excellent!” Li Shiqingʼs aged face seemed to regain vitality, radiating with triumph and excitement.

If they could help a Loose Cultivator form a Golden Core, then surely these effects would also apply to Foundation Establishment cultivators carefully nurtured by the family!

Now there was a problem, though—the family did have some cultivators in the latter stages of Foundation Establishment, but among them, no one had sensed the Thunder Tribulation!

In other words, they hadnʼt even taken the first step, so the two types of Spirit Pills were basically useless to them!
