"Uncle Lian, is Second Uncle really going to undertake the Tribulation Transcendence?" As soon as Li Shiren spoke up, he attracted everyone's attention, and this question was also what they all wanted to know.
Li Shilian nodded affirmatively, his face unable to hide his excitement, and said, "You all sensed that surge of spiritual energy just now, what else is there to doubt?"
Yes! They had all personally felt that distinct fluctuation a quarter of an hour earlier.
"We should leave now." Li Zhirui, who had been watching the sky intently, hastily said, "The Tribulation Clouds have begun to gather above us, and if we stay here, we might intensify the Heavenly Tribulation."
Although dark clouds densely covered the sky, the pitch-black Tribulation Clouds were still distinctly visible.
"Let's go, we can't help with the Tribulation, and we mustn't hinder Second Brother." Li Shilian declared.
Naturally, no one had any objections, and they hurriedly retreated over ten miles away, arriving almost at the edge of the clan's territory.
"Rumor has it that observing a cultivators' Tribulation Transcendence could benefit one's own cultivation, but I don't know if we'll be that lucky," said Li Zhirui, brimming with anticipation.
After so many years of cultivation, although he was still far from reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, perhaps if he could comprehend something, it might enable him to break through several years earlier.
"That's just to deceive Loose Cultivators," Li Shiting shook her head and said, "If the rumor is true, then it has nothing to do with us Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
To gain enlightenment from Thunder Tribulation, one needed to at least glimpse the tail of The Great Tao in the Golden Core Realm. Foundation Establishment Cultivators who are still spinning in circles at the start, only cultivating mana, do not possess such ability. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
This was something she had read in an ancient tome within the Scripture Pavilion.
"That's true." Everyone says Qi Cultivation is entering the path of immortality, but what's the reality? Foundation Establishment is the real starting point!
"Speaking of which, this storm does seem to have come at the right time."
Li Zhizhun laughed and said, "With the natural storm to cover up, no one besides us knows about Uncle's breakthrough, and we don't have to worry about someone causing trouble."
If someone intentionally entered the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, causing the Thunder Tribulation to intensify, then Li Shiqing would be in danger!
And this was precisely why one needed senior cultivator protectors during a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, the Li family didn't have such conditions, but luckily enough, they encountered a stormy day. Unless someone observed at a close range, it would be difficult to notice that someone was undergoing Tribulation here.
"The Thunder Tribulation has begun!"
As several people were chatting, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky had completely formed, a mass of black clouds three miles square directly above the rear hall. The Tribulation Clouds churned, the power of thunder and lightning roamed within them, and even just looking up at them made Li Zhirui and the others feel a hint of fear in their hearts.
This scene made Li Zhirui and the others even more worried. Those Golden Core powers might have methods to weaken the Tribulation Thunder, but that was not something the Li family could obtain, and they could only let Li Shiqing tough it out.
Boom—
The first Tribulation Thunder fell, its terrifying aura causing Li Zhirui and the others to turn pale. The Golden Core Thunder Tribulation consisted of three bolts of Tribulation Thunder, and this was just the beginning, so why was it so terrifying?
But it turned out Li Zhirui and the others were simply inexperienced. The Heavenly Dao is impartial, treating all beings as mere grass. Unless someone disrupted or endangered the world, its attitude towards any living being was the same, and so was the power of this Tribulation Thunder.
Just as Li Zhirui and the others were fraught with concern, a dazzling blue spirit light suddenly exploded from the rear hall.
The terrifying force intertwined; the blue light was supported by Li Shiqing at its back, but the Tribulation Thunder, directionless as a duckweed, was eventually completely eroded by the blue light.
Boom—
After an indeterminate period of time, Li Shiqing, who was now numb from the pain, found his whole body suddenly enveloped by a force of creation. The damage caused by the tribulation thunder within him no longer existed.
If it weren't for the unforgettable pain, Li Shiqing might have thought that all of the suffering he had experienced was nothing but an illusion.
At the same time, the magical liquids used for Foundation Establishment within Li Shiqing's dantian began to congeal, wrapping around the core essence that had transformed from the sprout into the Golden Core True Intent, and ultimately formed a resplendent Golden Core!
Outside, people like Li Zhirui witnessed the tribulation clouds above the firmament transform into pure spiritual energy which entered Li Shiqing's body, and they fell into a delirious stupor!
"He's succeeded! Second Brother has really succeeded!" At first, Li Shilian only repeated this softly, but as his voice grew louder, he finally used all his mana to shout, "A Golden Core Master! The Li family has a Golden Core cultivator now!"
Unfortunately, the fierce winds and relentless thunder made it impossible for the sound to travel more than two miles.
"Yes, our Li family has a Golden Core now!" Li Zhirui murmured in agreement,
It was Li Zhizhun who managed to retain a bit of calmness, saying, "There's the Heart Demon Tribulation apart from the Thunder Tribulation."
Though his words were poorly timed, in a moment of great sorrow or joy, a Heart Demon was likely to be invoked.
"Big Brother," Li Zhirui said with a smile, "It shows you haven't been diligently practicing the Visualization Skill."
"Hmm?" Li Zhizhun looked at him, puzzled, failing to see the connection to the Visualization Skill.
The smile on Li Zhirui's face grew as he explained, "When the Visualization Skill is mastered, it's not just for launching Divine Sense Attacks; it also strengthens one's state of mind and resists Heart Demons."
"Otherwise, why do you think the clan places such importance on the Visualization Skill?"
Even if Li Zhizhun had already been chosen as the next Clan Leader, even if Li Zhiyue was the most talented member of the clan, they weren't permitted to practice the "Divine Turtle Ocean-Suppressing Chart," the Visualization Skill, until they broke through Foundation Establishment.
Li Zhirui was the only exception, but the Visualization Skill was his own fate, it was his own fortune, and naturally, the clan could not prevent him from practicing it.
"It seems I need to diligently practice the Visualization Skill after I return," Li Zhizhun murmured, having only read the cultivation chapter of the Wanling Sutra, let alone the Visualization Skill.
Hum!
Hours later, a mighty and terrifying pressure emanated from the rear hall. Even though Li Zhirui and the others were more than ten miles away, they could feel it distinctly.
"Shilian, Shiting, Zhirui... you've done well, and it's been hard on you these years!" Li Shiqing's voice came out, saying, "I will need more time to consolidate my realm. After I leave seclusion, we will celebrate this event!"
"Yes!" Li Zhirui and the others answered excitedly.
Regrettably, they did not get to hear Li Shiqing speak again.
After a long while, when the excitement inside everyone had somewhat settled, they arranged to take turns guarding the place, with Li Shilian staying temporarily while the other members flew out of the clan grounds to help commoners survive this natural disaster.
With the inclusion of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the disaster that had already been weakened by the East Mountain became even less destructive.
Because the clanspeople were busy with disaster relief, working to the point of exhaustion every day, Li Zhirui and the others found no opportunity to share the news of Li Shiqing's Golden Core formation with everyone.
Only five days later, when the storm had finally subsided and the clan had helped the people to clean up the shattered remains, was the matter considered resolved.
Li Zhizhun also decided to call a full clan meeting the next day to announce the good news of Li Shiqing's breakthrough, wanting everyone to share in the joy.
That night.
Though the storm had passed, the air still hung heavy with moisture, and the barren land of Da Rong Island was mired in mud.
