Chapter 401: Temptation of Benefits (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“He’s here!”

Chen Daoxuan raised his head and looked at the black thunderclouds dozens of miles away.

Vaguely.

A silver-haired, white-robed young Daoist stood alone under the thunderclouds, looking particularly out of place.

This person was none other than Zhou Minghao, the ancestor of the Zhou family.

Finally, after a period of brewing, the thunderclouds pierced through the air and formed a terrifying pillar of lightning that enveloped Zhou Minghao’s body.

“How terrifying!”

Beside Chen Daoxuan, Luo Li’s pretty face showed a hint of fear.

Chen Daoxuan explained softly,” There are three Golden Core Thunder Tribulations in total. This is only the first tribulation of the physical body. Usually, when a cultivator’s body cultivation reaches the peak of the flesh and blood derivation, they can withstand it head-on. Moreover, they will be strengthened under the tempering of this Thunder Tribulation.

This was the reason why many Golden Core cultivators had broken through to the Skull-Crushing Rebirth stage after experiencing the Thunder Tribulation.”

He paused for a moment. Compared to the physical body tribulation, the following transcendence energy tribulation, especially the divine soul tribulation, was the most terrifying. When a cultivator reached the Aurous Core stage, they had to condense a golden core in their Zifu Disciple.

The soul would be further nurtured in this golden core, waiting for the moment when the core shattered into the Nascent Soul.

However, before that, the divine soul needed to go through the last Golden Core Thunder Tribulation to grasp the vitality to turn into a Nascent Soul.

The Golden Core Lightning Tribulation was both a calamity and an opportunity!”

Although Chen Daoxuan was explaining the way of cultivation to Luo Li and the cultivators of the Chen family, everyone around him heard him, including Jiang Zuyi and Qi Guangxiao, who were both Golden Cores.

“Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed worthy of being in the top three of the Purple Prefecture Sons of Heaven Rankings. You have a rather thorough understanding of the path of Golden Core cultivation.”

“Perfected Jiang, you flatter me.”

Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands slightly.

Jiang Zu smiled and said,” Fellow Daoist Chen said that the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation is both a calamity and a chance of survival. You have a deep understanding of the Lightning Tribulation.

Many Zifu Disciples feared the lightning tribulation of their Jindan like tigers. They didn’t know that without the lightning tribulation of their Jindan, if they didn’t ignite the life force of their souls, it would be virtually impossible for them to advance any further in the future.”

In the surroundings.

Everyone silently pondered over their words. Some people frowned and pondered, while others looked as if they had gained something.

After a long time.

When everyone had figured out the crux of the matter, they cupped their hands towards Chen Daoxuan and Jiang Zu and said,””Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist Chen and Reverend Jiang!”

Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands in return.

Jiang Zuyi stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face.

However, he was a Golden Core and had a cultivation level higher than almost everyone present. Everyone was quite used to his expression.

Just as the two of them were talking.

Zhou Minghao, who was bathed in lightning, had already passed the first tribulation of his physical body.

Under the thunderclouds.

Zhou Minghao, who had been dressed in white, now looked like a beggar. He was in tatters, but his eyes were bright.

Zhou Minghao’s body-refining cultivation was at the peak of Flesh and Blood Derivation, the same level as Chen Daoxuan. It was not surprising for Chen Daoxuan to pass this tribulation.

Immediately after.

The second lightning bolt followed.

However, this time, the lightning was invisible and colorless. Only the slightly distorted space indicated the terror of this magic power tribulation.

This time.

Chen Daoxuan could clearly see Zhou Minghao’s entire body trembling violently, and his body that was standing in the air was on the verge of collapsing.

At the side.

Zhou Mubai was so nervous that even his breathing quickened.

Zhou Minghao had cultivated for hundreds of years, but his Great Dao realm was still only at the peak of the second level. He had not broken through to the third level.

Forcefully breaking through to the Golden Core realm was not a small risk.

At this moment, transcending the tribulation was a matter of life and death for him. It was indeed heart-wrenching.

Fortunately, Zhou Minghao’s condition wasn’t bad. After his body trembled violently for a while, his aura rose steadily and reached its peak after a few breaths.

“It’s too much!”

Zhou Mubai clenched his fists tightly.” There’s still one last tribulation of the soul!”

At this moment, Zhou Mubai was unprecedentedly nervous.

He had been cultivating for nearly a hundred years. To him, Zhou Minghao was both a teacher and a friend. The two of them had long formed a deep relationship.

Zhou Mubai naturally didn’t want him to fail his tribulation.

From a dark point of view, if Zhou Minghao failed to transcend the tribulation, Zhou Mubai would instantly gain the greatest power in the family.

However, he still did not wish for Zhou Minghao to fail his tribulation!

Just like how Chen Daoxuan wouldn’t watch Chen Xianhe die just because of his family’s power.

Cultivators were said to be heartless.

In reality, cultivators had only experienced a long period of cultivation and witnessed the death of too many relatives and friends, causing them to become indifferent.

In fact, in terms of emotions, cultivators were not much different from ordinary people. They also had emotions.

Moreover…

The biggest difference between cultivators and mortals was that power belonged to themselves. They were not worried about losing power, because as long as they had strength, they would always hold power.

A Nascent Soul, no matter how down and out, was not someone a Zifu Disciple could ignore.

This was because Nascent Souls could easily crush him like an ant.

In the sky.

After the thunderclouds had sent down two bolts of lightning in a row, the third lightning tribulation had been brewing for an exceptionally long time.

Everyone present held their breath.

Finally, a bolt of black lightning struck down.

This time.

In the end, Zhou Minghao did not manage to block it and was sent flying to the ground by the black lightning pillar.

Everyone looked down from the sky and saw a bottomless circular hole on a mountain peak. Around the hole, crystals that had been melted by high temperatures could be seen..
