CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 360: ADVANCING TO THE GOLDEN CORE REALM

Once there, they first made sure that there weren’t any magical beasts that could attack them there before they set up camp to treat those who had been injured again in the earlier fight.

After setting up a barrier with a defensive and spirit gathering array, Chu Miao had those injured take healing pills and due to the medicinal potency the injuries began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They could also feel the internal injuries healing very fast, especially when they meditated to spread the medicinal power.

Chu Miao thought that since she had set up a barrier, the fragrance of those fruits wouldn’t attract attention.

Thus, she gave everyone a fruit that matches their element. She didn’t know what fruit could match her light or space elements nor Ye Xuan’s darkness element. Therefore, she chose a transparent fruit. The few people didn’t expect that the fruits would have such potent energy. After cultivating for a few hours and absorbing all the energy of the fruit, each one of them had advanced.

Chu Miao was now breaking through to the golden core realm, something she didn’t achieve in her last life even after cultivating since she was nine years old.

She didn’t know whether her previous experience in cultivation helped to avoid detours or there was another reason. But the opportunities she had encountered in this life such as the spiritual energy pool and the fruit she had eaten weren’t found in her last life.

It could be said that she was very lucky in this life. Advancing to the golden core realm in just a few months. She might just have a chance to ascend to immortality in the future.

Ye Xuan had skipped the middle-stage of foundation establishment to the late stage in one go. His cultivation talent was indeed over the top.

The others also advanced and at that moment, apart from Chu who also advanced to the late stage, the others were all in the middle stage.

This was such a fast improvement, if those people in famous sects who were hailed as geniuses in the ancient era saw this situation, they would definitely be shocked into stupidity.

This was what genius looked like, and it wasn’t just one person.

Chu Miao needed more spiritual energy to advance than the rest. So even after the others had advanced, she was still channeling spiritual power and circulating energy in her meridians to fill her dantian.

The crystal stone inside her dantian was also helping in purifying and also condensing the spiritual power to make it denser.

In this way, Chu Miao would have an easy time even fighting someone one level higher than her cultivation level.

This was the biggest advantage of that inheritance Chu Batian gave her.

The others saw that there was literally a visible cloud of spiritual energy forming a small tornado on top of Chu Miao’s head and entering her body.

It was obvious that she was absorbing a lot of energy to break through.

As Chu Miao felt the barrier about to be broken, she opened her eyes and looked up. She had thought that since this was an independent space different from the outside world, the laws of heaven and earth didn’t exist.

To her surprise, she saw dark clouds forming in the sky above where she was sitting. This showed her that this place was also governed by the laws of heaven and earth and she would have to undergo lightning tribulation to break through to the golden core realm.

This was something that many people were always afraid to face when they reached the peak of the foundation establishment realm.

This is because not everyone could survive the lightning bolts of the tribulation. Some were blasted into ashes while others were turned into cripples.

Moreover, the higher one’s talent, the more lightning bolts they must endure. Some talents were seen as against the heavens and that just happens to be the case for the current Chu Miao and Ye Xuan.

While others endured twenty-one lightning bolts, she would probably have to endure thirty-nine bolts of lightning.

When such talents advanced to the Nascent soul, they had to endure eighty-one bolts of lightning while others only faced sixty-nine. This was the price they had to pay for having talent that defies the heavens.

However, such people also experience faster cultivation speed after surviving the tribulation.

Now, it looked like Chu Miao was about to experience a life and death trial and no one could help her. What was more, she had not prepared in advance and didn’t have many defensive artifacts.

The defensive array she had set would probably be blasted to smithereens by the first bolt of lightning. She could only brace herself and hope to survive.

She immediately took out several defensive talismans and plastered them on herself. She also looked through the storage room in the soul ring using her consciousness and found a set of spiritual armor. She didn’t know how long it could last but even if it can only hold out one bolt of lightning, that would be a big help.

The others didn’t understand what was happening when they saw Chu Miao’s actions, but Chu Hao seemed to have caught on when he saw the clouds and the armor.

"She is about to break through." He said in a low voice but everyone there heard him.

"So, what is he doing plastering those papers on herself and wearing that armor? By the way, how can there be such soft armor?" Lei Ying asked curiously and the others turned to look at Chu Hao, waiting for his answer.

"The papers are defensive talismans. They can protect her and the armor is for the same purpose.

When someone advanced to the Golden Core Realm, which is what she is about to do, they have to go through a lightning tribulation.

And no one can help her, she has to face it herself no matter what happens otherwise the number and intensity of the lightning bolts will double if someone tries to help.

She is preparing to face the lightning tribulation now." Chu Hao explained calmly but this explanation made the hearts of the few people there tremble.

"How many lightning bolts?"
