Chapter 589: Chapter 380: Master Qingqing, Planting the Golden Vessel and the Soul-Bearing Wood
Just as the young man was astonished, the tribulation clouds in the sky grew thicker.
Flashes of lightning slithered within the tribulation clouds like silver snakes, filled with a heart-trembling aura.
In the celestial vault above, it seemed as though a pair of eyes appeared, coldly staring at the existence beneath the tribulation clouds.
"Boom!"
Lightning burst forth, and a woman with flowing sleeves, graceful posture, and an absolutely beautiful face soared up from Qingyu Peak.
Beside her, there were dragon and tiger shadows swirling around, casting a golden light on her fair, tender face, making her appear filled with an "indomitable" aura.
"This is..."
The young man widened his eyes upon witnessing this.
That dragon and tiger shadow, dense with the fragrance of pills, was exactly the Dragon Tiger Golden Yuan Pill he had seen at a market auction!
This pill could protect the body, and with the accompaniment of dragons and tigers, it could resist the Golden Fire Thunder Tribulation, making it a rare treasure for tribulation avoidance.
But... but, one pill only summoned one dragon and one tiger; yet beside this woman, there were twelve golden dragons coiling and twelve golden tigers shielding her. How many pills had she consumed?
"Boom!!"
At that moment, the tribulation clouds in the celestial vault seemed unable to contain their anger, and a brilliant flash of lightning crashed down.
Yet, unbeknownst to the woman, something she consumed reduced the descending thunder tribulation by a layer, significantly decreasing its power.
"Bang!"
The lightning struck, but a mysterious halo surged around the woman’s body, further diminishing the lightning that seemed to lightly "caress" her, then dissipated.
"Boom!!"
The tribulation clouds appeared enraged again, and an even more brilliant and terrifying lightning bolt suddenly struck down.
"Bang!"
The dragon and tiger shadows scattered, the halo exploded, and the woman staggered, nearly unable to stand firm, almost falling from the clouds.
This second thunder tribulation was unimaginably fierce.
Yet, it only managed to make the woman stagger briefly.
The halo surged, making the already stunning face of the woman glow with solemnity and an aura of holiness.
The tribulation clouds roiled, yet could not unleash any thunder.
However, the surge of golden fire brought a mysterious tribulation Qi, suddenly entering the woman’s body.
The woman immediately closed her eyes, furrowing her brows gently as if struggling against something present.
This scene made the young man’s palms sweat, unable to resist clenching his fists tightly, staring fiercely at the woman, as if it was he who was undergoing the tribulation.
He had seen many cultivators face tribulations, well aware that the entry of golden fire into the body was extremely dangerous, where any slight misstep would lead to total failure.
Seeing this, the Heart-devouring Insect couldn’t help but laugh, "Why are you so tense? It’s not like you’re the one facing the tribulation!"
"Senior, this is the golden fire entering the body, it’s inherently dangerous!"
The young man couldn’t understand why, in the face of such a perilous calamity, the Great Demon before him seemed indifferent; could it be he wasn’t on good terms with the woman?
"Just a mere Golden Core Fire Tribulation, what’s the danger?"
Upon hearing this, the Heart-devouring Insect sneered.
With Master Qingqing and his assistance, Cen Qingqing’s confidence in crossing the tribulation was as high as ninety-nine percent; if she couldn’t get through even this, she might as well run into a block of tofu and die, indicating she wasn’t destined to succeed.
Thus, he always remained calm.
But the two had different statuses, different levels of knowledge, and different resources; the young man simply couldn’t comprehend these words, only nervously watching Cen Qingqing.
Meanwhile, from afar, beyond the celestial vault, an escape light swiftly approached like lightning, landing beside Cen Qingqing.
The escape light dispersed, revealing a tall and upright young Daoist, resembling a pine or cypress tree. His sleeves fluttered, his features chiselled as if carved, strikingly handsome, standing by the woman’s side, exuding an aura of transcendence.
"Golden Core Tribulation has passed, congratulations, Master Qingqing!"
The Daoist chuckled softly, facing the newly emerged Golden Core with a tone surprisingly tinged with fondness.
And the Daoist’s words seemed like an imperial decree, causing the woman to immediately open her eyes, revealing eyes akin to flowing autumn water, unblinkingly staring at the Daoist.
"Boom!"
Inside the woman, something seemed to explode, and above the tribulation clouds, dazzling golden light descended, accompanied by an influx of Spiritual Qi, surging mightily, forging a bright, round pill above the woman’s head.
Golden Core! Golden Core!
The young man, who had been watching the tribulation from afar, suddenly widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the scene before him.
It’s done?
The Golden Core Tribulation was just crossed like this?
From beginning to end, only the second thunder tribulation made her stagger?
This was the Golden Core Tribulation that made countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators shudder with fear!
And at this moment, the Daoist flicked his large sleeve, seemingly sending forth a stream of light; then throughout Jiuyi Mountain, golden bells tolled, vibrations of profound music rang out, resonating with the skies, heralding the birth of a new Golden Core Cultivator in this mountain.
"You have just entered the Golden Core stage, your aura unsteady, how about I help you harmonize Yin and Yang? And organize your mana?"
Upon the clouds, amidst the rolling Spiritual Qi, Gu Yuan looked at the enchanting woman with fair white skin and autumn-water eyes, smiling softly.
Cen Qingqing did not speak a word, simply embracing the Daoist in front of her, pressing her fair, jade-like face against the Daoist’s chest, listening to the strong, powerful heartbeat, feeling an inexplicable sense of calm within her.
"Hahaha, let’s go!"
Gu Yuan embraced Cen Qingqing’s slender, smooth waist, the escape light flashed, directly entering the Cave Mansion atop the peak robed in thunder, disappearing silently.
In the distance, only the Heart-devouring Insect and the stunned young man remained.
"Stop staring, stop staring; judging by your bone age, how can you still be so curious? Could it be you’re still a virgin?"
The Heart-devouring Insect, understanding the situation, drew back his gaze, no longer observing. But seeing the young man still stupidly staring at the cliff wall of the Cave Mansion, he grumbled and tapped his head impatiently.
