For a period of time, Yun Tiankong's life returned to peace.
The "Dark Ancestors" were injured, their "Divine Sense Power" was extinguished, their origins were damaged, and they all retreated to their cave dwellings to heal, no longer bothering Yun Tiankong.
Yun Tiankong diligently cultivated in his own cave dwelling, his days passing peacefully.
The "Six Great Sword Manuals" he cultivated were demonic cultivation techniques, and their cultivation speed was top-notch.
With the boundless "Misfortune Power" suppressing him, Yun Tiankong never had to worry about the "side effects" produced by the "Six Great Sword Manuals." His cultivation speed was unparalleled, flying by at an astonishing rate.
Ten days later, Yun Tiankong's cultivation base advanced to the "Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment" realm, and he smoothly broke through the bottleneck, beginning his advancement to the "Golden Core" realm.
Rumble!
Tribulation clouds churned, and thunder roared!
Yun Tiankong's "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" had arrived.
Yun Tiankong's accumulation was profound. He not only inherited the "Six Great Sword Manuals" from the "Dark Sword Sect," but also the "Path of Nine Kills" from the "Black Demon King," and even received the righteous inheritance of the "Eastern Sword Master."
Such a profound accumulation, once unleashed, possessed astonishing power!
Yun Tiankong's "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" was the highest grade, a "Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation."
Moreover, with the enhancement of his "Misfortune Power," the might of the "Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation" greatly increased, touching the threshold of a "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."
Terrifying indeed!
"Who is undergoing tribulation? What a powerful heavenly tribulation!"
"Such a mighty Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation, its power is almost comparable to a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!"
"What heinous deeds must the tribulator have committed to invoke such a terrifying heavenly tribulation? Did he seduce the tribulation's sister-in-law?"
...
The "evil sword cultivators" of the "Dark Sword Sect" murmured amongst themselves.
Soon, "Yin Jian Gongzi" Wei Suo, among the onlookers, discovered something and exclaimed.
"Bad news, the one undergoing tribulation is junior brother Yun Tiankong!"
Ever since their encounter with the attack from the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" in the "Endless Outer Sea," "Yin Jian Gongzi" Wei Suo and Yun Tiankong had shared life and death, and their relationship had rapidly deepened.
In short, in Wei Suo's eyes, he and Yun Tiankong had a "life-and-death bond."
Wei Suo was deeply worried about Yun Tiankong and prayed silently in his heart.
"Junior brother Tiankong, you must not be harmed!"
It wasn't just Wei Suo who worried about Yun Tiankong; his six "unconventional masters" were also incredibly concerned.
"Kong Ju Lao Zu" and the others could no longer sit still. They broke out of their seclusion and collectively gathered to witness Yun Tiankong's tribulation.
They had all made up their minds that if Yun Tiankong could not successfully undergo tribulation, they would intervene, even at the cost of their own injuries, to save him.
However, what happened next left them dumbfounded and gaping.
Save him?
I'm sorry, Yun Tiankong never needed them to save him!
Yun Tiankong activated the acquired spirit treasure "Undefeatable Heavenly Sword" and simultaneously unleashed the "Six Great Sword Manuals," attacking the tribulation clouds in the sky.
The immense power of the "Six Great Sword Manuals" actually shredded the tribulation clouds.
The "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" was destroyed before it could even unleash a single lightning bolt.
Terrifying!
Terrifying indeed!
Looking at Yun Tiankong's peerlessly dominant figure, the "evil sword cultivators" of the "Dark Sword Sect" were all stunned into silence.
Incredibly awesome!
This, this is something a cultivator who has just advanced to the "Golden Core" realm can achieve?
Even a powerful "Nascent Soul cultivator" couldn't achieve this extent!
Furthermore, the divine abilities Yun Tiankong displayed seemed to be the supreme divine abilities of the "Dark Sword Sect," the "Six Great Sword Manuals"!
That's not right. The "Six Great Sword Manuals" are six different inheritances, each mastered by a "Divine Transformation Ancestor." When did they become usable by a single person simultaneously?
This is unscientific!
Bah, this is not cultivation!
One must know that the "Six Great Sword Manuals," as the most supreme "demonic cultivation techniques," possess terrifying "side effects."
Ordinary "evil sword cultivators," even if they only cultivated one "sword manual," often couldn't withstand the "darkness," their intellect easily eroded, causing them to lose their self-awareness and become "sword demons" who only knew how to kill madly.
Yet now, Yun Tiankong not only cultivated all six "Great Sword Manuals" simultaneously but was also perfectly fine, showing no signs of going berserk.
Simply astonishing!
Recovering from their shock, the "evil sword cultivators" became ecstatic. It was unclear who started it, but a shout rang out, "Young Master is mighty!"
The rest of the "evil sword cultivators" followed suit.
"Young Master is mighty!"
"Young Master is domineering!"
"Young Master is awesome!"
...
The shouts echoed through the sky, lingering over the "Dark Sword Sect" for a long time.
The "Six Dark Ancestors" felt incredibly complex emotions.
On one hand, they were overjoyed.
Yun Tiankong had, unprecedentedly, mastered the "Six Great Sword Manuals" simultaneously, and showed no signs of "going berserk."
A prodigy!
Truly a prodigy!
On the other hand, the "Six Dark Ancestors" felt a little embarrassed.
They had agreed not to teach Yun Tiankong the "sword manuals," but now Yun Tiankong had learned all six.
Every single one of the "Six Dark Ancestors" present was responsible; none could escape!
"Zeng E Lao Zu" struck first.
He glared and pointed at "Kong Ju Lao Zu," roaring.
"You old scoundrel, have you no shame? You said we shouldn't teach the sword manuals to Tiankong, but look! Tiankong has mastered the Fear Sword Manual so skillfully!"
"Kong Ju Lao Zu" was not to be outdone. He glared back.
"How dare you blame me? Haven't you taught Tiankong the Hatred Sword Manual? I saw Tiankong wielding the Hatred Sword Manual even more proficiently than the Fear Sword Manual..."
"Naturally!"
"Zeng E Lao Zu" suddenly smiled proudly and said happily.
"Don't forget who taught Tiankong the Hatred Sword Manual. I personally taught him, so naturally, the effect is better than yours... It's perfectly normal for Tiankong to have mastered the Hatred Sword Manual more proficiently than the Fear Sword Manual!"
"You're spouting nonsense!"
"Kong Ju Lao Zu" became even more furious. This was unacceptable!
"Did you take my humble words seriously? Tiankong is clearly better at the Fear Sword Manual, and the Fear Sword Manual is the head of the Six Great Sword Manuals, inherently stronger than the Hatred Sword Manual!"
"You're the one spouting nonsense!"
"Zeng E Lao Zu" also became angry, glaring.
"Who said the Fear Sword Manual is the head of the Six Great Sword Manuals? Did you crown yourself? You're really slapping your own face, bah, disgusting!"
Seeing the argument between the two "Dark Ancestors" veer further and further off track.
They were supposed to be discussing who "jumped the gun" and taught Yun Tiankong the "sword manuals" early, but instead, they were arguing about which "sword manual" was more powerful!
Is this appropriate? Is this appropriate?
"Ji Du Lao Zu" couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and roared.
"Is there any point in arguing about this... Among the Six Great Sword Manuals, the Jealousy Sword Manual undoubtedly ranks first!"
