Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Divine Dao Golden Core
"Okay!"
Yuan Qingtian answered and was about to come over, when he saw that Green Bean crawling over slowly. Along the way, he also picked it up.
The two humans and one tortoise were sucking the spiritual energy in the Earth Spirit Crystal vigorously!
Chen Chen had an innate spirit body and his elixir field had also completely fused with his body, thus resulting in an incredible devouring speed! In fact, it even emitted the whistling sound of spiritual energy!
Green Bean was a Black Tortoise and it was born with a golden elixir in its mouth. Although its front limbs were tiny, its speed of absorption of spiritual energy was not any slower than Chen Chen's.
Looking at Green Bean's effort, Chen Chen was very pleased.
He thought of taking Green Bean out just now because of the Phoenix Blood Begonia pendant.
A jade pendant stained with phoenix blood can exorcise evil and there was no reason Green Bean could not do so. He didn't expect to succeed in the first try.
Chen Chen looked at Yuan Qingtian with disdain.
'This mortal is unreliable but his hand is quite large. His speed of absorption of ethereality is probably only a tenth of mine.'
Sensing Chen Chen's gaze, Yuan Qingtian felt a little guilty too and his face turned warm. Compared to Chen Chen and Green Bean, he was far too inferior.
However, he was extremely glad that he had chosen to be under Chen Chen's wing. He thought, 'At this rate, it would be possible for me to defeat the successor of the Tianyun Clan, Chen Chen, soon.'
At the thought of this, he gritted his teeth and fought with all his might!
…
Five minutes later, Yuan Qingtian laid motionless at the side and muttered, "Senior Brother, I can't do it anymore. I'm going to reach the Core Formation realm. Rumor has it that the denser the spiritual energy in the area of Core Formation, the higher the amount of spiritual energy condensed and the better the quality of the Golden Core. I wonder what kind of core I would form…"
Chen Chen nodded slightly with a solemn gaze in his eyes. At this moment, his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm but the Earth Spirit Crystal in front of him contained high quality spiritual energy, which seemed to be infinite in amount. At this moment, the colorful light of the Earth Spirit Crystal was still shining brightly!
Soon, Green Bean could no longer continue absorbing and it simply closed its eyes to fall asleep.
Chen Chen put it back into the spiritual beast hide bag and continued to absorb the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Crystal.
He continued for several minutes and suddenly broke through the bottleneck of his body.
Bang!
With the subtle sound, a dazzling ray of golden light emanated from Chen Chen's body!
"I'm going to form the core too."
Chen Chen was elated!
Before arriving, he had already reached the late Foundation Establishment realm. Now, with the immense absorption of spiritual energy from the spirit crystal, he was about to reach the Core Formation realm.
After that feeling surfaced,Core Formation felt like his body had suddenly emptied out, as if the previous spiritual energy had vanished.
In the next moment, the spirit crystal of the Earth Spirit Crystal gushed into his body like a storm.
Chen Chen's body suddenly changed from gold to the colors of the rainbow!
Only then did Chen Chen realize the problem.
When others formed elixirs, their elixirs would go to their elixir field but he did not have any elixir field, so was he supposed to be the elixir?
Besides, when one reached the Golden core realm, their bodies would turn gold but why was he colorful?
"System, where is the most powerful Golden Core in the vicinity?"
"Host, the Divine Dao Golden Core within you is the most powerful."
Hearing the system's answer, Chen Chen was slightly relieved. No matter what, he was already considered to have formed the Golden Core and that was enough.
Besides, after his body turned colorful, the Earth Spirit Crystal became dimmer. He had no idea how much spiritual energy he had absorbed in that instant.
"Senior Brother! I actually formed a second-grade Golden Core!"
At this moment, Yuan Qingtian abruptly leaped up from the ground, sounding extremely excited. The Golden Core realm was divided into nine grades and according to his aptitude, a fifth or sixth grade Golden Core realm would be good enough. However, in such circumstances, he actually formed the second-grade Golden Core!
'However, what is wrong with Senior Brother Chen Chen? Why is he emitting a colorful light that is so dazzling!?!'
Before he could figure out what was going on, a special induction appeared in his mind, making his face turn extremely pale all of a sudden while extreme panic appeared in his eyes!
"Senior Brother… I'm in trouble! My Thunder Tribulation is coming!"
Yuan Qingtian sobbed.
The consequences of transcending the tribulation in the Wuxin Clan was imaginable. Soon, a bunch of people would come and beat him into pieces…
He was now in the early-stage Core Formation realm but even if he had reached the Nascent Soul realm, he'd be sieged and beaten up badly!
"What!?!"
Chen Chen was shocked, not because Yuan Qingtian had gotten into trouble, but because he had also forgotten that cultivators in Qi training would have to transcend a tribulation to reach the Golden Core realm too!
Although there were also tribulations involved in body refinement, the tribulation will only be transcended when stepping into the Nascent Soul realm. However, the tribulation would come faster for Qi refinement.
'Does this mean that my Golden Core Tribulation is coming soon too?'
"Senior Brother, let's hurry up and leave. I'll bring you out. If I end up implicating you this time, I'll have to repay my debt in the next lifetime!"
Yuan Qingtian had a sorrowful expression and he didn't expect things to go awry. He reckoned that there must have been Tribulation Clouds condensed outside at this moment. Besides, he could also sense that the Wuxin Clan cultivators were gathering now.
…
In fact, the situation outside was not much different from what he imagined.
A dark cloud of several hundred meters in circumference coalesced right above the spirit meridian, and thunder rolled within it.
Several peak Golden Core realm elders of the Wuxin Clan frowned slightly when they saw this scene.
"Which disciple is so careless as to transcend the tribulation here? Isn't there a special platform for that within the clan?"
Many disciples were also awakened and came out from the courtyard to look at the sky that was gradually darkening with curious expressions.
"Go to Wuxin Palace and check which true disciple is transcending the tribulation."
A peak Golden Core realm elder of the Wuxin Clan said coldly to a few people behind him.
The Wuxin Palace was the place with the densest spiritual energy in the Wuxin Clan, located right above the Spirit Meridians. Generally, only Nascent Soul realm cultivators and a few true disciples were qualified to cultivate there.
They could tell from the scale of the tribulation that it should be an extremely powerful Golden Core Tribulation and if nothing went wrong, it should be a certain disciple who accidentally broke through to the Golden Core realm.
However, as soon as he said that, another peak Golden Core realm elder next to him let out an incredulous cry of shock, and his eyes were filled with endless horror!
Senior Brother! Look over there!"
The Golden Core realm elder who spoke just now looked in the direction he was pointing and took two steps backwards, almost falling down in fear!
He saw a sea of clouds rolling in the sky ten thousand meters away, and there was a brewing thunderstorm with endless Tribulation Clouds covering the sky, surging toward the Wuxin Palace!
It was as if there were thousands of horses and armies hidden in them, roaring and launching a fearless charge!
In just a few moments, the Tribulation Cloud, which was enough to cover the sky, arrived above their heads.
Boom!
The sea of clouds rolled, and the thunder within it was incessant, booming and exploding, lighting up half of the sky. It was as if it was saying to the Golden Core Tribulation, "The person transcending the great tribulation must die. Those going through the minor tribulation, hurry up and leave! Don't create more trouble!"
In fact, that was the case too. After the terrifying Tribulation Cloud arrived, the Golden Core Tribulation collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the changes in the sky above their heads, the elders of the Wuxin Clan trembled.
'What exactly is going on here? How could it have triggered such a heavenly phenomenon?'
…
In the underground spirit meridian, Yuan Qingtian's sorrow expression stiffened abruptly. Next, he was filled with endless ecstasy!
"Senior Brother, I don't know why, but I suddenly can't sense my Thunder Tribulation! Great! Maybe the people of the Wuxin Clan didn't find anything unusual!"
Chen Chen's smile stiffened as he listened to his words and he said sarcastically, "Is that so… Ahem, congratulations!"
After saying that, he subconsciously looked overhead and cringed.
In the next second, the terrifying Tribulation Cloud above the Wuxin Palace abruptly lit up with a bolt of lightning that connected heaven and earth, directly penetrating the Wuxin Palace and blasting thousands of meters into the ground. Finally, it landed on his body!
Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Here Comes The Medicine!
Chapter 128: Here Comes The Medicine!
Bang!
With the sound of a violent explosion, Chen Chen's entire body was struck onto the Spirit Stone wall while the colorful light on his body instantly disappeared without a trace.
Before he could stand up, another thunderbolt fell and landed on top of his head.
Chen Chen spat out a mouthful of black smoke, and his eyes became somewhat glassed over.
"This is so… damned. God is jealous of my extraordinariness and he wants to kill me!"
Chen Chen wailed in his heart and logically speaking, his Body Refinement had already reached the level of the Core Formation. An ordinary Golden Core Tribulation would do nothing for him.
'But what tribulation is this?'
'Two shots is enough to almost kill me! Besides, I already have some resistance towards thunder because I learned the Nine Revolutions Golden Body technique.'
If the Tribulation Thunder landed on the head of an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core realm cultivator, he would probably be turned into ashes!
However, a more frightening scene appeared in front of Chen Chen.
Seemingly having been affected by the Thunder Tribulation, a rift appeared in the middle of the Earth Spirit Crystal and an extremely violent spiritual energy began to surge out from within, causing the entire spiritual mist to tremble!
Chen Chen's pupils suddenly constricted and he turned his head to look at Yuan Qingtian who was still in a trance. He hollered, "Go! Hurry up and go! Go through the ground! Leave the Wuxin Clan, the farther the better! If you spout any nonsense, I'll beat you to death!"
After saying those words, Chen Chen directly pulled out the digger and tossed it at Yuan Qingtian.
Yuan Qingtian saw tears in his eyes and he wanted to speak but he was finally held back.
Soon, he slipped into the ground silently.
Immediately afterwards, another Thunder Tribulation landed from the sky. This time, the Earth Spirit Crystal shattered and endless spiritual energy gushed out at the same time!
The massive amount of spiritual energy began surging out in all directions and the wall of Spirit Stones began shattering soon. Besides, the broken wall began producing more spiritual energy, which was integrated into the spiritual energy frenzy.
The earth began to tremble, and in the big hole where the Thunder Tribulation had struck, spiritual energy erupted like lava pouring out of a volcano!
With a loud boom, the Wuxin Palace was directly pushed up into the sky by hundreds of meters!
Looking at the Wuxin Palace in the sky and feeling the violent tremor under their feet, several Golden Core realm elders of the Wuxin Clan all turned pale. In the Wuxin Clan, their statuses were only at the upper-middle level. At this point, they had no idea what was happening underground!
"What do we do?"
"How do I know? Hurry up! Quickly inform the old ancestor!"
The two Golden Core realm elders took out their tokens while trembling and at this moment, a figure was blasted thousands of meters away by the spiritual energy!
Along the way, more than ten buildings collapsed because of the collision!
As the figure moved, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky also began to move.
Upon sight of the clouds, it suddenly dawned on the two Golden Core peak elders that there was someone transcending the tribulation in the underground spirit meridian of Wuxin Clan!
From the looks of it, he reckoned that it was at least a Nascent Soul realm tribulation which had caused a tremor to the Spirit Meridian of the Wuxin Clan!
It was intense!
With that thought in mind, the two looked at each other and saw the fear and horror in each other's eyes.
The eruption of a Spirit Meridian was a groundbreaking disaster!
Without hesitation, the two flew into the sky and quickly moved away from the Wuxin Palace!
…
On the other hand, Chen Chen was lying on the ruins of a courtyard. At this moment, he was extremely miserable.
The inner armor that he had just cheated the Weapons Division out of had crumbled and even half of his body had been blown into pieces.
A group of Wuxin Clan disciples in the distance looked at the person who flew all the way over with astonishment in their eyes.
'What kind of a person is this? He flew so far and half of his body has crumbled too but he's still moving?'
Looking at the group of Wuxin Clan disciples, Chen Chen stretched out his intact hand with difficulty, combed his messy hair with his fingers, and then forced a handsome smile. "Leakages do happen at night… there's a downpour. Sorry to have embarrassed myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength of the Indestructible Body began to show its effects as the half of Chen Chen's body began to recover at an alarming rate!
The jaws of the Wuxin Clan disciples were about to fall off but in the next second, they couldn't watch any longer.
It was because the entire underground of the Wuxin Clan began to shake as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred!
Boom!
A shocking explosion sounded!
With the location of Wuxin Palace as the center, the earth was blown up to the sky in a circle of hundreds of meters, followed by an unparalleled powerful shockwave that began to spread.
The palace-like buildings of the Wuxin Clan collapsed one after another like dominoes, and the sky was filled with a huge mess.
There were furniture and humans, as well as bricks made of Spirit Stones. However, no matter what, they crumbled like paper in the violent collision, flying all over the place.
Seeing the shock wave coming toward him, Chen Chen muttered with a bitter expression, "Heaven is jealous of geniuses!"
As soon as he said that, the collision sent him flying up into the sky and he collided with the miscellaneous objects in the air.
At the same time, two thunderbolts fell from the sky, accurately targeting him and blasting on his body.
…
A few minutes later.
The shockwave dissipated, and the entire Wuxin Clan had been reduced to ruins while everyone wailed.
Somewhere in the ruins, a hand reached out and a bolt of lighting fell from the sky, instantly electrocuting the hand and making it retract.
However, in the next second, a golden figure popped out of the ruins and cursed, pointing his finger to the sky. "I've been out for several months, and I have never suffered such a huge loss!"
Boom!
Another bolt of thunder lightning, blasting the figure into the ruins again.
In the ruins, Chen Chen drank a mouthful of Heavenly Spirit Bell Stalagmite and his battered body once again began to recover.
"Hehe, the only one who can beat me like this is you, Heaven. I have really met my match this time."
Boom!
"Ahem… Since Heaven won't have me, I must defy Heaven!"
Boom!
"Although the world is vast, this journey is bumpy and life is hard! I have… I will let Heaven know…that I won't concede defeat!"
Boom boom boom!
"Heaven, spare my life!"
Boom boom boom!
"I was wrong!"
Chen Chen landed on the ruins face first, and was crushed by the Thunder Tribulation in the sky. He was not being pompous but he was in a lot of pain. He was just trying to vent his emotions and ease the pain.
After a wave of Thunder Tribulation, the Tribulation Clouds paused for a moment.
Woo…
A gentle breeze blew by, blowing Chen Chen's somewhat disheveled hair.
Although his face was pressed into the ground, the corners of Chen Chen's mouth were slightly curled up, forming an unruly smile.
"Good, very good, you forced me to do this so don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as he said hat, Chen Chen smacked the ground and sprung up. Standing in the ruins, the storage ring in front of his chest immediately lit up.
In the light, four more storage rings darted out!
Chen Chen looked at the four storage rings with a solemn gaze.
The first storage ring contained heavenly treasures for healing and recovery.
The second storage ring contained heavenly treasures for dispelling toxins.
The third storage ring contained heavenly treasures for cultivation, refinement, and restoring spiritual energy.
The fourth storage ring contained heavenly treasures that were poisonous or harmful.
Looking at the four storage rings, Chen Chen looked up to the sky and shouted, "Here comes the medicine!"
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled sounds, the first three storage rings burst open at the same time!
Hundreds of heavenly treasures of all colors flew out!
10,000-year-old red ginseng, 10,000-year-old purple ganoderma, 10,000-year-old Fallopia multiflora, 10,000-year-old Ochre Spirit essence…
A series of heavenly treasures started revolving around Chen Chen under the manipulation of spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Chen Chen took a deep breath and swallowed all the treasures.
All of a sudden, countless heaven and earth essence, terrifying vitality, and rich spiritual energy surged into his body, making his body expand by several times!
Seeing that the Tribulation Clouds in the sky were still condensing Thunder Tribulations, Chen Chen looked up and hollered, "Come on! Fight me!"
Chapter 129: Chapter 129: True Power!
Boom!
With the sound of the Thunder Tribulation, Chen Chen instantly slipped into darkness and was blasted seven or eight meters away!
Before he landed on the ground entirely, Chen Chen's body shivered in the air and he did a 360-degree backflip before landing smoothly on the ground.
At this moment, his injuries had also been healed completely by a powerful vitality.
Boom!
There were various Thunder Tribulations in the sky and Chen Chen was in so much pain that he had already turned numb and was too lazy to say anything else. However, he kept changing his position.
One moment, he used his left hand to catch the thunder and in the next, he used his right hand. Every now and then, he would perform a handstand, followed by a push-up, looking as if he was working out.
He couldn't help it because he had to hurry up and shun the thunder. He couldn't tolerate it either.
…
Five minutes passed.
Chen Chen's face was pale. At this moment, he had already completed a series of movements that seemed like a full gymnastics routine. He was struck all over his body, except his private area, and the energy in his body had been depleted greatly.
However, the great tribulation in the sky still showed no intention of dissipating, as if it would not stop until Chen Chen died!
"I'm not going to reach the Nascent Soul realm, must you do that?"
Chen Chen cursed in his heart. He had seen his master, Xiao Wuyou, transcending the Nascent Soul tribulation which was powerful but definitely shorter than this as Xiao Wuyou managed to pass it after being struck less than 20 times.
The great tribulation above his head was continuous and even a peak Golden Core realm cultivator would be in anguish after suffering dozens to hundreds of them.
If he did not have an Indestructible Body and so many heavenly treasures, he would probably not be able to withstand more than ten thunderbolts.
"If I had let Master transcend this tribulation back then, I would have become the clan master of the Tianyun Clan by now."
Chen Chen muttered to himself, and at the same time, he turned his gaze to the wrecked Wuxin Clan.
He couldn't help it as he had to save himself!
Soon, a Wuxin Clan elder who was meditating and healing hundreds of meters away caught his attention.
In the next second, he flew directly to that elder.
"Elder, let me ask you something, where is the place where your Wuxin Clan… uh, our Wuxin Clan stores our heavenly treasures?"
Upon hearing his words, the Wuxin Clan elder opened his eyes and looked at the heavy Tribulation Clouds above his head. Badly frightened, he leaped up and barked furiously, "You're the wretched jinx who caused the foundation of the Wuxin Clan to be ruined!"
Boom!
Without the loud rumble of the thunder, the Wuxin Clan elder blacked out and his eyes began to glass over.
The impact just now had already caused serious injuries to him, and the aftershock of the Thunder Tribulation caused him to slip into a near-death state.
Seeing this, Chen Chen shook him with all his might and called out loudly, "Elder, don't die, reply me first. Just give me a general direction!"
Boom!
The Wuxin Clan elder who was of the Golden Core realm, collapsed and died.
Chen Chen fell silent and put away the elder's storage ring. Looking at its empty interior, he wiped his tears of sorrow.
The elder had previously gotten injured and finished all the heavenly treasures meant for healing, in the storage ring.
"System, where is the treasure vault nearby?"
During the buildup of the Thunder Tribulation, Chen Chen was shuttling through the sky above the ruins of the Wuxin Clan but he still couldn't find the treasure vault.
However, it wasn't long before he saw another Wuxin Clan elder.
This elder's clothing was far superior in quality to that of the previous elder.His cultivation level was at least in the late stage of the Golden Core realm!
As soon as he saw that elder, Chen Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately greeted him.
"Don't you come over!"
Watching the Tribulation Cloud in the sky flying towards him, that elder was scared out of his wits and immediately yelled angrily.
However, Chen Chen simply did not care and arrived directly in front of him.
"Elder, the Wuxin Clan is now in chaos and other places are fine, but the treasure vault must stay intact. Please tell me where it is, I will go and guard it!"
"You jinx!"
Before the elder finished, Chen Chen put his hand on his shoulder.
Tribulation Clouds rolled in the sky, and it seemed that another thunderstorm was about to fall.
The elder's eyes were filled with extreme horror and his mind was about to collapse. He frantically exclaimed, "I don't know where the exact location is… but I know that it should be in the north. Don't touch me! Hurry up and leave!"
"Thank you very much!"
Chen Chen thanked him and quickly flew towards the north while continuously asking the system in his mind if there was a treasure vault nearby.
However, after a moment, he stopped asking, because he had already seen the place he was looking for.
It was also a ruin where the restrictions had already been destroyed, and there were a few Golden Core realm elders who were guarding it nervously.
"That Wuxin Clan elder just now is an honest person!"
Secretly in awe, Chen Chen hurriedly flew towards the treasure vault.
"It's been hard on you, elders. I'm here to borrow something!"
After Chen Chen landed, he casually greeted them and went to the ruins. At this moment, the power of the Thunder Tribulation had already condensed in the sky and several thunderbolts descended one after another. They blasted his body and the surrounding people were blown away too.
Chen Chen spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then collapsed onto the ground.
However, he still struggled to crawl towards the bottom of the ruins.
"System, is there a highly valuable object nearby?"
"There are mid-grade Spirit Stones five meters below…"
"There are Dharmic treasures five meters below…"
"There are heavenly treasures five meters below…"
"There are elixirs five meters below…"
"Five meters below, there are…"
…
Looking at the endless prompts that were popping up nonstop, Chen Chen eagerly took out a bottle of Heavenly Spirit Bell Stalagmite and chugged it.
After the tribulation today, he chugged dmore than half of the Heavenly Spirit Bell Stalagmite that he had and apart from those that were used as antidotes for poison, he used up all the other heavenly treasures too. If he didn't get any other treasures, he would be at a huge loss.
Boom!
The thunder rolled around, and there would be occasionally screams coming from several people. There were also angry roars and the sounds of explosions.
That made Chen Chen feel like he was in a battlefield of war.
However, the prompts that kept popping up in his head gave him endless motivation to crawl towards the treasure vault like a dead soldier going forward!
Woosh!
A few moments later, Chen Chen fell directly into some pit.
He turned around to take a look, only to see that he was surrounded by countless Spirit Stones that were cut neatly. Besides, he was also lying in the middle of a pile of Spirit Stones!
Chen Chen inhaled sharply.
Spiritual energy erupted from Chen Chen's body and seven storage rings darted out of his body. Countless Spirit Stones then surged into his storage rings.
"There are millions of Spirit Stones and 100,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones!"
While exclaiming, Chen Chen filled his storage rings with the Spirit Stones and he soon collected all of them.
At this moment, Chen Chen was covered in torn and tattered clothes. However, he leaped into the pit according to the system's prompt, as if it was no big deal at all.
His ring was filled with all sorts of spiritual weapons, Dharmic treasures, and precious ores!
'I'll take all of them away!'
That was all Chen Chen could think about. He even took away hundreds of storage rings from the treasure vault!
The next pit contained thousands of bottles of elixirs!
'No matter what elixirs are in there, I'll take everything away!'
The next pit contained nearly 10,000 heavenly treasures!
'I shall not be polite, I'll take them all away!'
…
'I'm going to take away all these spiritual artifacts, Dharmic treasures, secret manuals and everything!'
…
Fifteen minutes later…
Under the ruins, Chen Chen who was dressed in golden armor and looked like a heavenly god descending on earth, slowly stepped out with a profound gaze in his eyes and the loneliness of an expert.
Thunderous clouds were still gathering in the sky.
Sensing the fluctuations in the sky, Chen Chen smirked and looked sideways at the Tribulation Clouds before reaching a hand out to humph in disdain!
"Huh?"
The gilded hand was dazzling and emitting a bright light. If one looked at it closely, they would realize that there were at least ten storage rings on each finger! It was as if he was wearing a metal glove!
Seeing this, the thunderous clouds in the sky paused for a moment, and then dissipated with a loud bang.
Chen Chen withdrew his hand in satisfaction and held up the necklace of storage rings that was hung around his neck. His eyes were filled with the grandeur of being contemptuous of everything in the world.
"Hah, this is real power!"
