[Drip! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Fang Tian" has increased his favorability towards you by +999999, current favorability: Five Stars (Lifelong Confidant)!]
[Drip! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Fang Tian"'s faith in you has increased, greatly strengthening the power of luck...]
...
Suddenly, a series of system prompts sounded in Hao Ren's mind.
Not only "Fang Tian," but almost all "outer cultivators" had become Hao Ren's "fanatical believers."
Their status in the "network of luck" rapidly improved.
From peripheral figures, they quickly advanced to the core circle.
They themselves gained more "luck bonuses," and at the same time, provided more luck to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren's power of luck surged, and his own cultivation also rose with the tide.
His "Pure Lightning Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" and "Pure Yin Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" had both reached the "Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment," only one step away from breaking through and advancing.
Hao Ren had been suppressing his cultivation realm before, unwilling to risk tribulation too early.
Now, with his cultivation greatly increased, Hao Ren felt he could no longer suppress his realm.
No!
It's still too dangerous to undergo tribulation now!
Hao Ren gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his cultivation.
At this critical moment, the first wave of "cultivation benefits" from the optimization and advancement of the "Great Emperor Holy Emperor Qi" arrived.
Rumble!
Hao Ren's cultivation, beyond his control, surged like a torrential wave, engulfing everything.
In just an instant, the bottleneck of the "Pure Lightning Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" could no longer withstand the impact and was directly broken.
With the bottleneck broken, the path to advancement was unstoppable!
His "Pure Lightning Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" seemed to be boiling, spinning madly.
Hao Ren's aura uncontrollably climbed higher and higher.
The original "Foundation Establishment aura" condensed, condensed, and condensed further...
Quantitative change produced qualitative change!
The aura condensed to its limit, and finally, with a "bang," it broke through the shackles and completed its initial sublimation.
A faint, almost imperceptible "Golden Core aura" slowly rose.
This aura pierced through the "Mountain Protection Array," soaring upwards, entering the nine heavens.
Heaven and earth trembled slightly.
Countless black tribulation clouds gathered from all directions.
This is... a tribulation?
In the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," a group of "Golden Core cultivators" all looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky with curiosity.
Honestly, they were not nervous at all, very calm.
Nothing to be afraid of!
The aura of this tribulation cloud should be a "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation."
The "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" is the weakest and most basic heavenly tribulation among all heavenly tribulations.
Every single "Golden Core cultivator" present had undergone a "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation."
Therefore, they were not nervous, just curious.
The aura of the tribulation emanated from inside the cave, meaning someone in the cave was about to undergo tribulation.
Who could it be undergoing tribulation?
It definitely wouldn't be the "senior"!
These "brilliant minds" immediately ruled out the possibility of Hao Ren undergoing tribulation.
What was the senior's strength? His methods were heavenly, and his Dao was boundless.
His realm was so high it reached the heavens, how could he possibly undergo a "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation"?
Absurd!
To have such a thought was "great disrespect" to the senior!
Apart from the "senior," there was only one other person in the cave who could possibly be undergoing tribulation.
The senior's second disciple, Han Mo!
Yes, it must be Han Mo undergoing the "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation"!
Speaking of which, Han Mo was truly "blessed with good fortune," to be able to become a disciple of the senior, it was truly enviable!
The senior's Dao was profound, and his skill in teaching disciples was also top-notch.
Look how much time has passed, and Han Mo has already started undergoing the "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation."
Tsk tsk tsk... It's estimated that it won't be long before Han Mo surpasses us and becomes a "Nascent Soul cultivator" ahead of us.
Alas!
So enviable!
With a master like the senior, one could wake up smiling in their dreams, right?
The group of "Golden Core cultivators" were filled with envy.
What they didn't know was that Han Mo, the "protagonist" they were discussing, was currently dumbfounded.
o(⊙_⊙)o
What's with this tribulation cloud?
Am I going to undergo tribulation?
Impossible!
I'm clearly still suppressing my realm, and haven't started the tribulation yet!
I'm a mess, I'm truly a mess...
Someone, please, tell me what on earth is happening?
At this moment, inside the cave.
Hao Ren's face was filled with bitterness.
Damn it!
He had messed up!
The tribulation had started, and he wasn't ready yet!
Moreover, his current "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" was causing such a commotion that others would surely notice, and thus expose his identity as a "respected senior"!
Aren't you a senior? Aren't you a master? Aren't you the best? If you're so powerful, why are you only undergoing a "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" now?
Liar!
Big liar!
Hao Ren could already imagine the miserable scene of everyone attacking him after his identity was exposed.
"Senior, something terrible has happened..."
At this critical moment, Kong Xiaoxian jumped out.
This charming young girl was now wearing the "Red Dust Immortal Armor," and her last physical flaw had been remedied. Her figure, once a "flat board," had become a large E-cup!
A proper "baby face with a buxom figure"!
Her颜值 (yan zhi - attractiveness/beauty) coefficient had exploded!
However, at this moment, Hao Ren didn't have the leisure to appreciate the "sea view" on Kong Xiaoxian's chest. All his attention was captured by Kong Xiaoxian's words.
"Senior, it's all my fault. I came to report to you just now, but I forgot because of the Red Dust Immortal Armor... Senior, it's bad, Little Mo Mo is about to break through to the Golden Core realm, he's about to face the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation... Uh, no, he's about to undergo the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation now!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Ren's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was overjoyed.
Hahaha, that's great, heaven is helping me, heaven is helping me!
Han Mo is also undergoing tribulation, perfect! Just include this "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" of mine with his, and my secret identity won't be exposed.
Now, let's happily begin the tribulation!
Hao Ren thought this in his heart, but his expression still maintained the demeanor of a "respected senior," calm and composed, with maximum prestige.
He said lightly.
"No need to worry, a mere heavenly tribulation, I will resist it!"
Casually spoken!
Using the most nonchalant tone to say the most awesome words!
So cool!
Hao Ren's words were full of domineering energy, outwardly domineering, leaking domineering energy all over...
Kong Xiaoxian was both happy and in awe.
Little stars twinkled in her eyes.
"Senior, you're so amazing!"
Being praised as amazing by a "Golden Core maiden" greatly satisfied Hao Ren's vanity, and he was ecstatic.
He wanted to show off a bit more, when suddenly, the "Heaven-Pushing Mirror" in his hand rang with the voice of Chuan Jianguo.
The "King of Understanding Emperor" had a solemn tone.
"Dad, be careful! No one understands heavenly tribulations better than your son. This wave of tribulation is very strong, very strong, strangely strong. This doesn't look like a Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation at all..."
