Inside the cave.
Xu Guo meditated with his legs crossed. The Seven Star Clear Jade Dan was floating behind his head, releasing clouds of Dan Qi.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Guo let out a long whistle and inhaled. He swallowed all the clouds of Dan Qi into his Dantian. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Once I swallow a Golden Dan, I will ascend to the Nine Heavens!"
He merged with his Dan and turned into a ray of light that dashed out of the cave.
In the sky, thunder clouds were faintly discernible, but there was no lightning strike.
Besides, the Dan was not an external Dan. When the Dan was formed, there was no lightning strike.
After all, even in the main world, no cultivator had to go through a lightning strike to advance to the Realm of Divinity.
"Third rank!"
Xu Guo felt the external Dan in his body and his face lit up with joy.
He spent a hundred days of hard work and with the help of Chung Shen-soo, he finally managed to refine Xu Yuan's Seven Star Clear Jade Dan into his own external Dan. With the Qi of the Dan being compatible, he finally succeeded. His cultivation level was now Golden Dan, and he could be called an Elder.
Furthermore, the level of the external Dan only dropped by one rank, and it still maintained the spiritual power of the third rank.
Even among the many Core Formation Elders, he could be considered as one of the strongest!
"This Xu Yuan's Golden Dan nurtured the Seven Star Array. It can draw the power of the nine heaven stars and turn it into an array to trap and kill the enemy.
It's quite impressive, "Xu Guo mumbled," But … a top Golden Dan can begin the Nine Transformations of Cultivation, but my external Dan doesn't seem to have this path … "
"Forget it. I am merely a small cultivator. To be able to enter Golden Dan and live for 800 years is already a blessing. What more can I ask for?"
This external Dan of his was of the third rank and was considered a superior Golden Dan, but it could not be cultivated according to the Nine Transformations of Golden Dan.
After all, there was a difference between an external Dan and a Golden Dan.
But Xu Guo did not mind.
So what if he became a Huandan Elder? A Huandan Elder was still a Golden Dan. Even if he reached the Nine Transformations, he could not cultivate his Primordial Spirit and live forever!
Therefore, most of the cultivators in this world did not focus on cultivation after they reached the Golden Dan.
For example, Xu Yuan had gotten himself a full set of guards of honor for ten percent of the patriarchs.
If Chung Shen-soo continued to deepen his acquaintance, he would discover that the bigger the sect, the more the Core Formation ancestors were particular about ostentation.
From the frame of the carriage to the welcoming guests, the young boys and girls, the cave abode … they all had a certain standard.
For example, low-grade Golden Core carriages could use Dharma artifacts. High-grade Golden Core carriages could use Dharma treasures. The cultivation levels of the children would also need to be higher. Only then would they be able to go out with dignity.
In short, it was extremely complicated and dazzling.
Only those truly influential sects would nurture cultivators with superior Dan and hope to have a few Huandan Laozu.
Unknowingly, Xu Guo was influenced by this kind of atmosphere. After achieving Jindan, even if there was no way forward, he didn't feel any regret.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a ray of light flying out of the cave abode, standing proudly in midair.
Xu Guo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Student greets teacher."
He looked at Chung Shen-soo, who was standing with his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky. He didn't know what this teacher wanted to do.
"Go further away, I'm going through the trial."
Chung Shen-soo stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Previously, when Xu Guo entered Jindan through external means, the sky became a little dark, but in the end, there was no trial.
At this moment, the thin dark clouds became even thicker. There seemed to be lightning snakes rolling in it, constantly overflowing with green lightning.
An aura that even the Jindan Laozu felt oppressed was constantly rising and rising …
"Yes, teacher."
Xu Guo hurriedly took Xu Xiner and flew far away. Looking at this scene from afar, he was very surprised. "Why is teacher still going through the trial? It's not the transformation of a demon … Could it be that there is a way forward for the External Alchemy? "
Just as this thought came up, he saw in the sky, a ball of thunder and fire came crashing down.
This was the Nine Fire Godly Thunder!
In terms of power, it surpassed the Five Malice Godly Thunder.
Even though it was only the first strike, it made Xu Guo's face turn ashen. He knew that with his high-grade Golden Core, even if he used all his mana, he might not be able to survive the first strike!
"The secret technique of avoiding calamities is indeed extraordinary."
However, Chung Shen-soo wasn't afraid at all and laughed.
He pointed his finger, and the Poisonous Dragon Sword turned into a black sword light that shot into the sky and fought with the lightning.
He was about to go through the second disaster, but the Yin Fire Disaster of an ordinary Essence Core cultivator was an Internal Tribulation, so he used a secret technique to replace it with a Heavenly Tribulation.
Anyway, as long as he went through the tribulation, his cultivation and mana would improve, and the benefits would be the same.
As for the Human Tribulation?
Although Chung Shen-soo had some thoughts of turning the Internal Tribulation into a Human Tribulation when he went to the Tianding Sect, those people were too weak.
How could it be considered a Human Tribulation if it couldn't make him feel danger? It was more like a suicide mission.
Boom!
After the Nine Fire Godly Thunder was broken by the Poisonous Dragon Sword, countless lightning snakes rolled in the sky and the sound of thunder shook thousands of miles. It was as if the Heavenly Tribulation was enraged. One after another, the Nine Fire Godly Thunder struck down, not giving Chung Shen-soo any chance to catch his breath and recover.
Fortunately, he had a strong foundation, so he didn't need to recover. He controlled the Poisonous Dragon Sword and destroyed the lightning with each strike.
After five strikes, the Poisonous Dragon Sword wailed, and the sword light shattered. Chung Shen-soo put it back into his sleeve.
He chuckled and used the Nine Clear Celestial Light to protect himself. Nine beams of Celestial Qi flew out and turned into a circle, protecting his body as he fought against the lightning.
Whoosh!
The remaining three Nine Fire Godly Thunder were more violent than the one before, but they couldn't break through this first-grade great magical power.
The ninth lightning suddenly went berserk and turned into a flood dragon. It swallowed all the lightning snakes in the sky and came crashing down.
The Nine Clear Celestial Light turned into a circle of light. Under Chung Shen-soo's guidance, it went against the current and fought against the lightning dragon.
Boom!
The world shook. This supernatural power had finally been broken, but the thunder dragon had also shrunk to 90% of its original size. Arcs of lightning fell down, but Zhong Shenxiu used the Stone Buddha Invincible supernatural power to temper his body with thunder, forcefully withstanding it.
After the nine lightning strikes, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sky was clear again.
"Congratulations on passing the tribulation, Master. You've improved greatly."
Xu Guo flew over, his face full of joy as he congratulated him.
"Yes, I've not only been busy with the tribulation, but I've also been thinking about the path after the Golden Core. I've learned something …"
Chung Shen-soo returned to the cave abode and casually glanced at Xu Xiner.
Xu Xin 'er could only bow aggrievedly and leave.
"Please guide me, Master."
Xu Guo said solemnly.
"Since I call myself 'Creation', I want to find a way out for the rogue cultivators who have refined their pills to the middle and lower grade in this world. Or rather, I want to find a way for Creation to reach the heavens … The ancient method of Primordial Spirit is no longer feasible, but there are still some signs of breaking into Primordial Spirit through some unorthodox methods."
Chung Shen-soo smiled proudly.
Xu Guo's eyes widened like bronze bells, and he said hoarsely, "If that's the case, Master will definitely be the first in hundreds of thousands of years!"
