Achievement and Tribulation

Although he has weakened considerably, the Night Wandering God is still Yin General -level figure.

Guo Jing ate so much in one go that she clearly felt quite full, and she swayed unsteadily.

If Guo Jing were to rely solely on his own slow absorption, it's unclear how many days it would take him to fully absorb the essence of this Night Wandering God.

Fortunately, Guo Jing also possessed the cultivation Cultivation Method of the Asura Battle Body.

After feeling the abundant energy within his body, Guo Jing sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Cultivation Method.

With the help of the Cultivation Method, Guo Jing only spent half an hour transforming the Night Wandering God into his own strength.

This progress in strength, far exceeding that of the previous few years, left Yin Yunze with no more reservations.

After pulling out another Soul-Capturing Pearl, Guo Jing didn't even bother to communicate anymore. He simply covered himself with the Pure Fox Robe and then enjoyed another hearty meal.

After finishing his meal, Guo Jing once again sat cross-legged and began to practice the Asura Battle Body.

This time, however, with the absorption, Guo Jing's appearance broke through Yin Yunze's original design.

On top of its already unremarkable appearance, which was nothing special except for its beauty, two more heads and four arms suddenly emerged.

The new head also resembled the girl, but it was glaring angrily, like a girl throwing a tantrum.

The other head, however, bears a sorrowful expression, like a girl who has accidentally kicked her little toe.

However, compared to the original one head and two arms, this newly emerged two-headed, four-armed form is somewhat illusory.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze understood that Guo Jing was about to begin condensing the Asura Battle Body.

With a thought, Yin Yunze moved Guo Jing and the remaining three Soul-Capturing Pearl to a secluded place.

Once the Asura Battle Body is successfully condensed, it is equivalent to the Golden Core Stage of an ordinary cultivator.

Once the condensation is successful, Guo Jing will face the first of the three tribulations: the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

If we stay in Yin Yunze's Qingnü Temple, the Qingnü Temple may also be affected.

Yin Yunze didn't want strange rumors to start circulating tomorrow, like what Qingnü did that caused his Qingnü Temple to be struck by lightning.

Guo Jing didn't say anything about the change in location and grabbed another Soul-Capturing Pearl.

The soul inside was dragged out and covered under the Pure Fox Robe. With four more hands and two more mouths, Guo Jing's eating efficiency was greatly improved.

A short while later, Guo Jing loosened his Pure Fox Robe and continued refining his Asura Battle Body.

At the same time, as the Asura Battle Body was refined, Guo Jing's absorption efficiency also increased significantly, and he finished absorbing it in no time.

With this absorption completed, the Asura Battle Body's three heads and six arms became increasingly realistic.

Without needing further explanation, the process was repeated once more. Whether Judge Qian was lucky or unlucky, he was the last one to be caught by Guo Jing.

Once dragged out, Qian Weichen immediately launched into a tirade. "Qingnü, you are untrustworthy and fickle! I Curse you! I curse—"

"You have no right to be so noisy in front of Her Majesty!"

However, before Judge Qian could actually utter the Curse, Guo Jing's four arms, which had already materialized, slammed down on Qian Weichen's head, delivering a double blow to his ears.

Although as a spirit, the double-peaked ear piercing is not as effective on a living person.

However, as a spirit, the head remains a vital part.

As the Asura Battle Body struck down with its four palms, Qian Weichen's eyes rolled back, and he suddenly appeared somewhat dazed.

Guo Jing did not show any particular regard for this Civil Judge.

As usual, he put on a Pure Fox Robe and then began to eat.

Although he was different from the other four who were Yin General, Qian Weichen, as a judge, did not show any particularly difficult qualities.

Once it entered Guo Jing's mouth, it became a cloud of Yin Qi.

However, the difference became apparent in their enhanced cultivation after consuming the food.

With the absorption of Judge Qian's soul, Guo Jing's three-headed, six-armed Asura form was finally successfully condensed.

Before Guo Jing could rejoice at his success, a dark cloud inexplicably gathered in the sky.

As everyone knows, this place will not receive rain naturally because of the Authority over Drought revealed by the Drought Demon.

This time, Yin Yunze neither activated the Authority over Frost and Snow nor commanded the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

This dark cloud was formed by the natural order of heaven and earth.

He has experience commanding lightning on numerous occasions, and has even been struck by lightning himself.

Yin Yunze could clearly sense the aura of lightning within the dark clouds.

Unlike the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning, the lightning energy in these dark clouds is not mixed with any other attributes; it is simply Purifying Lightning power.

Compared to Yin Yunze, Guo Jing's feelings were more concrete.

Almost instinctively, Guo Jing understood that this thundercloud was coming for him.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I need to undergo this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation!"

However, Guo Jing did not appear afraid. Instead, she casually asked Yin Yunze for instructions before leaving.

Indeed, it has four Yin General and one judge as its foundation.

Compared to this, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation is really nothing.

If even someone like Guo Jing, whose cultivation far surpasses that of ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators, cannot overcome this tribulation, then very few people can survive this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

As Guo Jing left, the dark cloud also followed Guo Jing away.

After thinking it over, Yin Yunze decided not to go and join in the fun.

If we go now, the influence of the energy might actually increase the power of this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

Therefore, to prevent this unnecessary accident, Yin Yunze only focused his attention on observing the situation of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation from a distance.

Guo Jing Jingdu's Golden Core Lightning Tribulation can also serve as a good reference for Yin Yunze.

After all, the cultivation speed of a mortal body is almost at the point of condensing Golden Core.

After giving Guo Jing a little time to prepare, a white bolt of lightning shot out from the clouds and struck Guo Jing heavily.

At this moment, Guo Jing had already triggered the Immovable Wisdom King Seal on the Pure Fox Robe.

Although the spirit puppet transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form, Guo Jing's true form remained the Pure Fox Robe.

Therefore, unlike Yin Yunze's intervention, Guo Jing's use of the Law Technique on the Pure Fox Robe was, conceptually speaking, no different from Guo Jing using it herself.

Therefore, the lightning strikes from a mere ordinary Golden Core Lightning Tribulation were directly deflected and scattered when faced with the Immovable Wisdom King Seal, who was already at the Golden Core Stage.

"Huh?"

While also sensing the power of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, Yin Yunze noticed something.

The power of this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation is considerably weaker than that of the all-out Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning.

At first, Yin Yunze was somewhat surprised. The first of the three tribulations that the Hungry Ghost Path seemed to have emphasized many times—was this it?

However, upon closer reflection, Yin Yunze quickly realized that it was because she was in a position that was too high.

Because his first encounter with the Demon-Slaying Thunder was with the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning, Yin Yunze's threshold was raised.

But if you think about it, this is a hundred-year-old weasel-faced Land God who could be killed by a single bolt of lightning while still conscious.

Six consecutive strikes were enough to severely injure and nearly kill a Golden Core Stage expert who had cultivated the Six Divisions Infinite Scripture —it was an unknown master's Law Treasure.

If this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation were truly at the level of the full-power Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning, I wonder how many genuine Illuminating Mystery Realm cultivators could pass it.

This is, after all, just a test from heaven and earth on your path of cultivation, not an enemy who doesn't want to kill you.

It will definitely be difficult, but it won't be a matter of life and death.

After discovering that Guo Jing had no difficulty passing the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, Yin Yunze paid less attention and began to ponder the subsequent cultivation of his mortal body.

Although he was alone, Yin Yunze wasn't sure if the divine body's help would make things more difficult.

With Guo Jing as an example, Yin Yunze was no longer in such a hurry to enter the Golden Core Stage.

After all, according to the cultivation function, the Illuminating Mystery Realm is a crucial stage for nurturing the body and spirit.

Not only in the Golden Core Stage, but also in the subsequent Flower Nurturing Realm and Qi Nurturing Realm, a solid foundation needs to be laid in the Illuminating Mystery Realm.

The reason for my previous hasty advancement was that I couldn't cultivate and use other Law Technique of the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King Form until I reached the Illuminating Mystery Realm.

Now that it's usable, while the improvement at the Golden Core Stage is significant, it's not something to be overly eager for.

After all, the importance of laying a solid foundation is well-known, and Yin Yunze naturally wanted a better future for himself.

Thinking this through, Yin Yunze decided that it would be better to let the mortal body stay in the Illuminating Mystery Realm for a while longer, so that it could accumulate strength for a future breakthrough.

As Yin Yunze finalized his decision, Guo Jing's Golden Core Lightning Tribulation dissipated.

This Golden Core Lightning Tribulation will consist of a total of nine bolts of lightning.

Although all nine bolts of lightning are equally powerful, striking nine of them consecutively is quite difficult.

Just like you can withstand a full-force punch, but you might not be able to withstand nine punches of the same force in succession.

After successfully Tribulation Transcendence, one can fully appreciate the enhancements gained from the lightning tribulation.

Guo Jing put away her three-headed, six-armed appearance and gracefully returned to Yin Yunze's side.

Guo Jing bowed respectfully to Yin Yunze and sincerely said, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

"My Envoy of Punitive Expedition, why must we be so polite between us?"

With a simple sentence to establish a connection, Yin Yunze said softly, "Now that the first task is complete, I need you to complete the second one for me."

Hearing Yin Yunze's words, Guo Jing tactfully followed up by asking, "What are your orders, Your Highness? What do you require of me? I will go through fire and water for you!"

"There's no need to go through fire and water; the matter is actually quite simple, just a bit troublesome."

Yin Yunze looked at Guo Jing and smiled, "I just want you to help me write a proclamation denouncing the traitors, so that everyone in the county can see it."

"A proclamation denouncing the traitors?"

As a former top scholar in the imperial examinations, Guo Jing found this somewhat strange, but he didn't feel any pressure in writing a proclamation denouncing the traitors.

Guo Jing, with a mixture of curiosity and speculation, asked, "Your Majesty, who is this thief you speak of?"

Seeing the hopeful look in Guo Jing's eyes, Yin Yunze smiled and said, "The Qingling County City God!"
