The essence of the "Great Money Scattering Technique" is to scatter money!
Scatter money madly!
Scatter money crazily!
I scatter, scatter, scatter!
Hao Ren dared not delay. He activated his incantation, pouring a large number of top-grade spirit stones into the hexagonal array.
Boom, boom, boom!
The top-grade spirit stones burned, turning into the purest spiritual energy, powering the entire formation.
Money makes the world go 'round!
In the mysterious space above all realms, a certain "Great Dao, unwilling to reveal its name," trembled slightly, emitting ripples of profound essence like flowing water.
The essence flowed, penetrating layers of space, and slowly descended...
Above the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
The colossal pillar of heavenly lightning suddenly paused, its ferocity and destructive power vanishing.
It began to contract, transforming into a tiny lightning dragon, which then entered the hexagonal array.
The surrounding "Golden Core cultivators" below were stunned.
What in the world?
The "power of heavenly tribulation" was subdued?
Impossible!
Heavenly tribulation represents the Dao's trial for cultivators; it is immensely powerful and cannot be subdued!
Uh...
Well, impossible for others, but for the Senior, it's perfectly logical and reasonable!
The Senior subdued the "power of heavenly tribulation," as solid as can be!
The "Golden Core cultivators" were even more in awe of Hao Ren.
The Senior's methods were extraordinary, divine, and unbelievably impressive!
If even the "power of heavenly tribulation" could be subdued, what else was impossible for the Senior?
The "Golden Core cultivators" admired Hao Ren wholeheartedly. They were unaware that the "Senior" they saw as omnipotent was currently "scattering money" like crazy!
Yes, that's right, "scattering money"!
Vast amounts of top-grade spirit stones were being frantically poured into the hexagonal array.
Of course, Hao Ren's power was not enough to subdue the "power of heavenly tribulation."
But as a "transmigrator," one must have a grand vision.
If "subduing" is not possible, we can "bribe" it!
Money makes the world go 'round!
Heavenly Tribulation, respected elder, you have worked hard. Please accept this small token of our appreciation!
After consuming a large number of top-grade spirit stones, Hao Ren successfully dealt with the first wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning."
Immediately after, the second wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning" descended.
The number of tribulation waves varies.
It could be anywhere from one to nine.
It depends on the person.
It depends on luck.
However, one thing is certain: the "power of heavenly tribulation" increases with each wave, becoming stronger than the last!
If one is unlucky and encounters nine waves of "heavenly tribulation," its power will be hundreds of times greater than the first wave.
Hao Ren's second wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning" was noticeably thicker, its power greater, filled with world-destroying might.
Rumble!
The second wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning" struck.
Hao Ren employed the same strategy.
Scatter money!
Keep scattering money!
Continually scatter money!
Unceasingly scatter money!
...
Under Hao Ren's onslaught of "scattering money," he successfully "bribed" the second wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning."
The second wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning," like the first, was tamed by the profound essence of a "wealthy and influential force, unwilling to reveal its name," and entered the hexagonal array.
Next, the third wave, the fourth wave...
As expected, Hao Ren experienced the "highest tribulation treatment"—the "nine-wave heavenly tribulation"!
Any ordinary cultivator would have been reduced to a sobbing mess, fried inside and out, perhaps even cursing the heavens for arranging such a fierce "heavenly tribulation."
Hao Ren, however, remained emotionally stable.
Undergoing tribulation wasn't difficult; it was just that his hands got a bit sore from all the "money scattering."
The entire tribulation process was incredibly "boring."
No earth-shattering spectacles, no life-or-death thrills.
Only "money scattering"!
Oh, right, the "atmosphere group" outside the cave, those "Golden Core cultivators," they did their part diligently, creating a great atmosphere!
"Wow, the power of this ninth wave of heavenly tribulation lightning is so terrifying!"
"Right, right, the lightning transforms into a dragon, and the world falls silent!"
"The power of this tribulation is too immense; even a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to withstand it!"
...
The tension was palpable, wasn't it!
For such "professionalism," everyone deserves an extra chicken drumstick.
Then, through "money scattering," Hao Ren calmly and effortlessly resolved the ninth wave of "heavenly tribulation lightning."
The "Golden Core cultivators" once again marveled.
"The Senior's might is simply beyond imagination!"
"Calm and collected, waving a sleeve and without a trace of smoke, he subdued the power of heavenly tribulation—this is the legendary state of returning to simplicity!"
"The Senior's strength is close to the Dao!"
"The Senior is the light, the Senior is the electricity, the Senior is the only legend..."
...
The "Golden Core cultivators" spared no effort in "praising" Hao Ren.
Hao Ren himself felt a little embarrassed.
Am I really this powerful?
Heh, heh, heh...
It's all thanks to "friends in the know" being accommodating!
Add chicken drumsticks!
Chicken drumsticks for everyone!
...
The heavenly tribulation concluded smoothly.
Hao Ren's "Great Money Scattering Technique" was also nearing its end.
Nine heavenly tribulation lightning dragons had been subdued within the hexagonal array. What should be done with them?
Hao Ren was about to consult his "devoted son," Chuan Jianguo.
Suddenly, an unforeseen event occurred!
The hexagonal array suddenly contracted, transforming into a streak of light and flying back to Hao Ren's side, directly entering his dantian.
What the hell!
Hao Ren was greatly alarmed!
He was acutely aware of how terrifying the nine "heavenly tribulation lightning dragons" were.
If the power of these "heavenly tribulation lightning dragons" were to erupt within him,
He would surely die, annihilated without a trace!
Hexagonal array, come out quickly!
Before Hao Ren could react, another change occurred!
Inside the dantian.
The hexagonal array unfolded.
Nine "heavenly tribulation lightning dragons" roared out, soaring and twisting within the dantian.
The scene was so horrifying, it was as if nine "nuclear bombs" were flying around.
It's too terrifying!
What do they want?
Soon, Hao Ren realized that these nine "heavenly tribulation lightning dragons" were targeting his "pure lightning-element Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea."
At this moment, Hao Ren's "pure lightning-element Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" was also undergoing a drastic change.
Because he had successfully endured the tribulation and was influenced by the "laws of heaven and earth," his "pure lightning-element Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sea" began to spin at high speed, undergoing an incredible and profound transformation.
The liquid true essence began to condense, gradually turning solid.
A small "Golden Core" was forming and bobbing in the "Spiritual Sea."
Forming the Core!
Hao Ren had successfully formed his Golden Core!
The small "Golden Core" rotated incessantly, and with each rotation, it grew larger...
Soon, the entire "Golden Core" became immense, like a great sun, hanging high in the void of the dantian, radiating boundless light.
It had to be said, Hao Ren's "Golden Core" was truly massive, astonishingly so.
Its size was at least a hundred times larger than an ordinary Golden Core.
Calling it a "Golden Core" was not quite accurate; it should be called a "Golden Sun," but... well, let's stick with "Golden Core" for now!
