Feng Jun's Core Embrace process had truly been full of twists and turns. His core formation had been swift, the tribulation lightning fierce, and in the end, there had even been an interloper causing trouble.
Still, he had ultimately succeeded in forming his core, and it had taken him only eight days to stabilize his Golden Core cultivation.
It was not unheard of for someone in Core Embrace to stabilize their realm in eight days, but he had endured the baptism of World-Destroying Tribulation Lightning!
