"Is it about to become a Golden Core cultivator?"
As Lu Qing's magical power transformed and his golden core was formed, "Yan" sensed it immediately.
It also saw that the swirling clouds of calamity in the sky were gradually dissipating.
They immediately knew that Lu Qing had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and had begun to condense his Golden Core.
It was immediately filled with endless joy.
That last lightning tribulation was truly terrifying.
They all thought Lu Qing wouldn't be able to get through this.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Qing had already resolved the tribulation and absorbed all the tribulation lightning. Now, he is about to take that most crucial step and achieve the Golden Core!
"I wonder just how powerful the young master will become after achieving the Golden Core Realm this time."
This time, Lu Qing is undergoing an unprecedented Five-Colored Heavenly Tribulation, and its power is terrifying.
Therefore, Yan was very much looking forward to seeing just how powerful Lu Qing would become after he survived this heavenly tribulation and achieved the Golden Core stage.
Time passed slowly amidst Yan's anticipation, and Lu Qing finally completed her transformation.
"Is this the Golden Core Realm? It seems a little different from what I imagined?"
At this moment, Lu Qing's injuries had completely healed, leaving not a single scar.
He felt the immense physical power surging within his body, as well as the five-colored golden elixir radiating a profound aura.
The slightest movement caused the air to shatter layer by layer, as if the space itself was shaking.
Both his physical body and the magic power he had just acquired were far, far stronger than before.
He could even sense that he could kill his former self, who was undergoing tribulation, with just one finger.
Even if that white-robed youth were reborn and appeared before him, he could completely annihilate him with just his fists.
It's easy to imagine how powerful he is now.
But amidst his power, Lu Qing also sensed something strange.
He always felt that his current situation was somewhat different from the Golden Core Realm described in the classic texts.
According to ancient texts, once the Golden Core of magical power is cultivated, it possesses a trace of "immortality".
Unless the cultivator dies or their cultivation level regresses.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for it to disappear.
But his golden elixir...
With a thought, the five-colored golden pill in Lu Qing's dantian, which was full of perfect and complete energy, began to dissipate instantly, transforming into magical power and merging into his dantian.
Immediately afterwards, the aura of the Golden Core Realm on his body began to dissipate rapidly.
It was as if his cultivation level had regressed, and he had returned to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Strangely, he did not feel any impact on his cultivation level or strength.
The magical power within the body can also be used at will.
The power contained within the physical body remains as vast as the ocean.
Aside from the disappearance of the Golden Core and the loss of the unique aura of the Golden Core realm,
Otherwise, nothing has changed.
With another thought, Lu Qing's magical power began to gather in his dantian and sea of qi, and in the blink of an eye, his five-colored golden core reappeared.
The aura belonging to the Golden Core Realm once again emanated from him.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lu Qing was puzzled.
Just as he was about to delve deeper, the swirling vortex of tribulation clouds in the sky was about to disappear completely.
Suddenly, a stream of light shot out, landed on Lu Qing, entered the acupoint between his eyebrows, and merged into his soul.
The streak of light arrived without warning and at an extremely fast speed.
Even with Lu Qing's current level of cultivation, he didn't have time to react.
When he looked up, there was no trace of the swirling clouds in the sky.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and all was calm again.
Lu Qing immediately entered the acupoint between his eyebrows and sensed the stream of light from before.
Not long after, he opened his eyes with great surprise.
That streak of light just now was a message.
More precisely, it is a chapter on the Great Dao describing the mysteries of the Golden Elixir.
From this chapter on the Great Dao, Lu Qing also learned what was going on with his current state.
Firstly, the Great Dao chapter states that when a cultivator enters the Golden Core realm, the Golden Core they condense has different grades.
It is divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and perfect golden pill.
Among them, what he cultivated was the perfect golden elixir.
The grade of the golden core a cultivator condenses is determined by the foundation and accumulation made before undergoing tribulation.
The deeper the foundation and accumulation, the higher the grade of the golden elixir that will be formed.
The path of cultivation becomes smoother after entering the Golden Core realm.
Among them, the low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade Golden Elixir, although they differ in strength, are not absolutely distinct from each other.
If a low-grade Golden Core cultivator has the opportunity to obtain rare and precious treasures to refine their Golden Core, they may have a chance to advance to a mid-grade Golden Core or even a high-grade Golden Core.
But only the perfect Golden Elixir is special.
According to the description in the Great Dao chapter, a perfect Golden Core is unique.
Every world, whether it's a small world, a medium world, or a large world.
Only one perfect Golden Core can be born at any given time.
Unless that perfect Golden Core cultivator disappears.
Otherwise, in that world, no matter how amazing or extraordinary the talent of those who come after them, it would be impossible for them to cultivate a perfect Golden Core.
Take Lu Qing for example.
He is now the only perfect golden elixir in this world.
Even if someone else's cultivation talent is ten or a hundred times higher than his in the future.
As long as he remains in this world, the other party will be unable to cultivate a perfect Golden Core.
Unless he dies, or leaves this world.
Otherwise, later cultivators would never be able to cultivate a second perfect golden core.
Since the Perfect Golden Elixir is so special, it must have its own extraordinary features.
In addition to possessing greater power than other grades of Golden Cores, Perfect Golden Cores also have a very special ability.
Ever-changing, gathering and scattering at will, formless and without appearance!
This refers to the method Lu Qing used earlier.
A perfect golden core can be gathered and dispersed at will, its aura transformed and altered according to one's thoughts, as one pleases.
He could even transform his golden core into any of the three grades of golden core, from upper to lower.
Moreover, this change is perfect; no one can detect it from his aura alone, not even powerful cultivators whose cultivation far surpasses his.
"Gathering and scattering are at will, without form or appearance."
When Lu Qing saw this description, he immediately understood how terrifying this ability was.
This is tantamount to him gaining a magical ability of transformation, and one that is perfect and flawless.
This will undoubtedly be of great help to him as he travels the world and even to other places in the future.
"Perhaps it is precisely because of the special nature of the perfect golden elixir that the Great Dao endowed it with such abilities."
Lu Qingxin had an epiphany.
While the Perfect Golden Elixir is powerful, its uniqueness naturally makes it a target of envy and hostility.
After all, only when the previous perfect Golden Core cultivator disappears will the second perfect Golden Core be born.
Therefore, this ability to gather and disperse at will, to be formless and shapeless, and to change in countless ways can be considered a kind of protection that the Great Dao provides to perfect Golden Core cultivators.
"Young master, just now your aura..."
Just as Lu Qing was pondering, "Yan" appeared beside him, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.
Just now, "it" suddenly sensed that Lu Qing's aura was unpredictable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
A few breaths later, the Golden Core Realm aura on his body completely disappeared, and he returned to the Foundation Establishment Realm aura.
This greatly surprised it.
"It's nothing, just some experiments."
Lu Qing waved his hand and said calmly.
He glanced at the sky; it was almost evening.
The Heavenly Tribulation Vortex transmitted to him the Great Dao chapters and much other information.
However, now is not the time for contemplation.
His master and the others must be very worried that he is going out to undergo tribulation alone.
I wonder when the white-robed man's senior brother will arrive.
So the most urgent thing now is to go back to the village and let them know we're safe.
As for the chapters on the Great Dao, we can slowly comprehend them later.
Anyway, he has now entered the Golden Core Realm, so no matter how strong the white-robed man's senior brother is, he is confident that he can withstand him.
"It's getting late, let's head back."
Lu Qing's figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, and flew towards Jiuli Village.
After Lu Qing left, the surroundings immediately returned to calm.
It was as if everything before had been a dream.
Only that majestic mountain, ravaged by the lightning tribulation and with nearly half of it flattened, proved that a tremendous heavenly tribulation had indeed occurred here.
