Chapter 399: Golden Core Lightning Tribulation (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Spiritual Shell Island.

The Zhou Family’s land was located on a Grade 4 spirit vein.

Peaks stood on top of the spirit vein, and immortal palaces could be seen on each peak. Coupled with the vast clouds between the peaks, the entire Zhou family’s land looked like a blessed land of immortals.

Tongtian Peak was the territory of the Zhou Clan’s main branch.

The Zhou family clan leader’s faction, including Zhou Mubai, usually lived in the territory of Sky Piercing Peak.

Although the Heaven-Piercing Peak was the name of the mountain, the entire Heaven-Piercing Peak occupied an extremely large area, almost a hundred miles in circumference, almost occupying more than half of the entire Zhou family’s land area.

At this moment.

The Welcome Palace on the Sky-Piercing Peak became unprecedentedly lively.

In the past, the Zhou family’s ancestral land was almost never open to the public. However, this time, the Zhou family’s ancestor, Zhou Minghao, transcended the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

Even Taizhou’s Jiang family and Yuanchen Immortal City were alarmed. They sent a Golden Core Daoist Master over, giving the Zhou family enough face.

However, everyone knew that although the Zhou family was a big family in Azure Continent, it was nothing compared to the two big forces of Taizhou’s Jiang family and Yuanchen Immortal City.

The actions of the Jiang Family and Yuan Chen Immortal City probably had a deeper meaning.

However, this had nothing to do with the cultivators who came to watch the ceremony. No matter how powerful the Jiang Family and Yuanchen Immortal City were, they could not do anything in front of everyone.

In an ancient palace in the Welcome Hall.

A silver-haired Daoist stood by the cliff. Behind him was a luxurious immortal palace, and in front of him was a ten-thousand-foot-tall cliff.

Looking out, it was a sea of clouds with a red sun above it.

“Seventh Granduncle.”

A gentle female voice came from behind.

The silver-haired old man turned around and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. He smiled and said,”Little Chenyan, you’re here.”

Jiang Chenyan was dressed in a black muslin dress, and her charming face carried a hint of worry.

It seemed to read Jiang Chenyan’s mind.

“Chenyan, how long have you been cultivating in the clan?” Jiang Zuyi asked gently.”

“Reporting to Seventh Granduncle, Chenyan has been cultivating for over sixty years.”

“To break through to the Zifu level after sixty years…your luck is truly not bad.”

Jiang Chenyan knew what Jiang Chengyi meant. Her expression darkened as she said,”Chenyan’s achievements today are all due to the family’s nurturing.”

“Yeah,”

Jiang Zu nodded.” Without the Jiang Family, we would not be where we are today.

Look at the cultivators who come and go in the Zhou family. Which one of them doesn’t lower their heads when they see the Jiang family? Why? Isn’t it because they’re afraid of the power of our Jiang family?”

” So, every member of the Jiang Family has the obligation to sacrifice themselves for the family, whether it’s you or me. Do you understand?””

Jiang Chenyan lowered her head.”

“Good boy,”

Jiang Zuyi nodded in satisfaction.” Get your mind right. In a few days, I’ll bring you to meet your future husband.””

“Yes.”

Jiang Zuyi waved his hand and watched as Jiang Chenyan slowly retreated. He said to the air beside him,”Chenye, do you think that Seventh Granduncle’s trip was a little despicable?”

In the next moment.

Jiang Chenye’s figure was instantly exposed in front of Jiang Zuyi. He said in fear,””Why would Seventh Granduncle say that? Chenye never had such intentions.”

“There’s no need to say things that go against your heart. Not only do you think it’s despicable, even I think it’s despicable.”

Jiang Chenye lowered his head and said nothing.

“However, the Azure Continent is too important to our Jiang family. We can’t allow any mishaps to happen. 0then-vise, our Jiang family might be exterminated.”

“Chenye understands.”

“No, you don’t understand.”

Jiang Zuyi smiled.” However, even if you don’t understand, you still have to carry it out, understand?”

Jiang Chenye was stunned for a moment before nodding seriously.

Jiang Zuyi revealed a satisfied expression.

He looked in the direction where Ancestor Zhou was in seclusion. The pressure of a Golden Core cultivator was getting stronger and stronger. Even from dozens of miles away, he could vaguely feel this aura.

The forest where the spirit beasts and birds used to play was now completely silent.

” Zhou Minghao succeeded.”

Jiang Zuyi smiled faintly.

Jiang Chenye seemed to be in disbelief. He looked at his seventh granduncle in shock.”Zhou Minghao actually succeeded in forming his Gold Core? Then he’s a Golden Core cultivator!”

“It’s not that simple.”

Ancestor Jiang shook his head.” For Zifu Disciples to break through to the Jindan stage, the Core Formation stage is only the first threshold. This threshold is as difficult as ascending the heavens for ordinary late-stage Zifu Disciples.

But for Zifu Disciples who had reached the second level of the Great Dao, this wasn’t too difficult, especially with the assistance of the Gold Formation Core.

For Zifu Disciples of the second level, the true difficulty lay in the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation after they formed their Core.

Usually, we call these cultivators who haven’t passed the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation as Fake Core Cultivators. Do you know why?”

Jiang Chenye shook his head.

Even the Jiang Clan Dao Child had never heard of such a secret.

After all, this was only a private conversation between Golden Core cultivators; how could a Zifu Disciple like him know?

Jiang Zuyi seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and explained,”The so-called false Core Formation cultivators are those who have reached Core Formation and have yet to undergo the lightning tribulation.

Strictly speaking, this kind of cultivator had already condensed a golden core. However, because he had not undergone the baptism of the lightning tribulation, his physical body, especially his soul, had not undergone the final transformation. Therefore, there was still a fundamental difference between him and a golden core cultivator.

This difference wasn’t reflected in strength. Some Fake Core adepts weren’t much different from Golden Core adepts who had been baptized by the lightning tribulation.

However, the future of the two is worlds apart!”

Seeing Jiang Chenye’s interested expression, Jiang Zuyi continued,””You should know that the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation has three levels. The first is the physical body tribulation, the second is the magic power tribulation, and the third…. It’s a divine soul tribulation!”
