Chapter 415: Invisible and formless, perfect golden elixir!

“Is the Golden Core forming?”

As Lu Qing’s power transformed and his Golden Core formed, Yan was the first to sense it.

He also saw the swirling tribulation clouds above gradually dissipate.

He knew immediately that Lu Qing had successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and begun to condense his Golden Core.

He was filled with immense surprise.

That last thunder tribulation had been truly terrifying.

He had thought Lu Qing would be unable to make it.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Qing had resolved the tribulation, absorbing all the thunder. Now, he was about to take the crucial step to achieving the Golden Core!

“I wonder how powerful the young master will become after achieving the Golden Core this time.”

Lu Qing had survived an unprecedented five-colored Heavenly Tribulation, and its power was terrifying.

Yan was eager to see how powerful Lu Qing would become after surviving this tribulation and achieving the Golden Core.

Time passed slowly in Yan’s anticipation, and Lu Qing finally completed his transformation.

“Is this the Golden Core Realm? It seems a little different than I imagined?”

Lu Qing’s injuries had completely healed, leaving not even a trace of a scar.

He felt the immense physical strength within him, as well as the five-colored mana elixir emanating a mysterious aura. With

the slightest movement, the air exploded, as if the very space itself was vibrating.

Both his body and his newly transformed mana were vastly more powerful than before.

He could even sense that he could kill his pre-Tribulation self with a single finger.

Even if the white-robed youth were reborn and appeared before him, he could crush him with a single fist.

One could imagine how powerful he was now.

But amidst this power, Lu Qing also sensed a sense of strangeness.

He felt that his current situation was somewhat different from the Golden Core Realm described in the classics.

According to the classics, once a Golden Core Realm mana elixir was cultivated, it possessed a hint of “immortality.”

This was only possible if the cultivator died or regressed.

Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for it to disappear.

But his golden elixir…

Lu Qing’s mind stirred, and the five-colored golden elixir, filled with the essence of perfection within his Dantian’s sea of qi, instantly dissipated, transforming into mana that merged into his Dantian.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of the Golden Core realm within him began to rapidly dissipate.

It was as if his realm had regressed, returning to the Foundation Establishment realm.

But strangely, he felt no impact on his cultivation or strength.

He could freely draw upon the mana within him.

The power contained within his flesh remained as surging as the ocean.

Aside from the disappearance of the golden elixir and the distinct aura of the Golden Core realm

, nothing else had changed.

Lu Qing’s mind stirred again, and the mana within his Dantian’s sea of qi began to converge. In the blink of an eye, his five-colored golden elixir reappeared

, and the aura of the Golden Core realm emanated from him once more.

“What on earth is going on?”

Lu Qing wondered.

Just as he was about to investigate further, the dissipating vortex of tribulation clouds in the sky was about to vanish completely.

Suddenly, a streak of light shot out, landing on Lu Qing, entering the acupoint between his eyebrows and merging into his soul.

This streak of light arrived without warning, and at such incredible speed that

even at Lu Qing’s current state, he had no time to react.

When he looked up, there was no trace of the swirling calamity clouds in the sky.

The sky was clear, without a single cloud, completely calm.

Lu Qing immediately entered the acupoint between his eyebrows, sensing the streak of light.

Not long after, he opened his eyes in surprise.

That streak of light was a message.

More precisely, it was a passage from the Great Dao describing the secrets of the Golden Elixir.

From this passage, Lu Qing understood the true nature of his current state.

First, the passage stated that the Golden Elixir condensed by cultivators who reached the Golden Elixir realm was graded into four

categories: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and perfect Golden Elixir.

The one he had cultivated was a perfect Golden Elixir.

The quality of the Golden Core condensed by a cultivator is determined by their foundation and accumulation before transcending the tribulation.

The deeper the foundation and accumulation, the higher the quality of the Golden Core condensed.

The smoother the path of cultivation after entering the Golden Core realm.

While low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Golden Elixirs vary in strength, they are not strictly distinct from one another.

A low-grade Golden Elixir, if fortunate enough to obtain rare treasures and refine the elixir, has the potential to ascend to a mid-grade or even a high-grade one.

But only the perfect Golden Elixir is truly special.

According to the description in the Great Dao chapter, a perfect Golden Elixir is unique.

In each world, whether small, medium, or large,

only one perfect Golden Elixir can be born at a time.

Unless that perfect Golden Elixir disappears

, no one who comes after them in that world, no matter how exceptional their talent, will be able to cultivate another perfect Golden Elixir.

Take Lu Qing, for example.

He is currently the only perfect Golden Elixir in this world.

Even if someone with a cultivation talent ten or a hundred times greater than his own

continues to exist in this world, they will never be able to cultivate a perfect Golden Elixir.

Unless he dies or leaves this world,

no subsequent cultivator will ever be able to cultivate another perfect Golden Elixir.

Since the Perfect Golden Elixir is so special, it naturally has its own unique qualities.

Besides possessing greater power than other Golden Elixirs, the Perfect Golden Elixir also possesses a unique ability:

ever-changing transformations, gathering and dispersing at will, formless and invisible!

This is the very technique Lu Qing had previously employed.

The Perfect Golden Elixir can gather and disperse at will, transforming its aura at will.

He can even disguise his own Golden Elixir as any of the three highest, middle, and lowest grades.

Furthermore, this transformation is so flawless that no one can detect it simply by its aura, not even powerful cultivators far superior to him.

“Gathering and dispersing at will, formless and invisible.”

When Lu Qing read this description, he immediately understood the terrifying power of this ability.

It was like gaining an additional magical power of transformation, a flawless one.

This would undoubtedly be of immense benefit to him in his future travels throughout the world, and even beyond.

“Perhaps it is precisely because of the Perfect Golden Elixir’s uniqueness that the Dao has bestowed upon it such abilities,”

Lu Qing realized.

While the Perfect Golden Core is powerful, its uniqueness naturally makes it a target.

After all, only when the previous Perfect Golden Core cultivator disappears can a second Perfect Golden Core be born.

Therefore, this ability to gather and disperse at will, formless and invisible, and ever-changing can be considered a form of protection from the Great Dao for Perfect Golden Core cultivators.

“Young Master, your aura just now…”

Just as Lu Qing pondered this, the figure of “Yan” appeared beside him, a look of uncertainty.

It had suddenly sensed Lu Qing’s aura was changing unpredictably, fluctuating between strength and weakness.

Within a few breaths, the Golden Core aura had completely vanished, returning to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This startled it.

“It’s okay, just a few experiments,”

Lu Qing said calmly, waving his hand.

He glanced at the sky; it was almost evening. The Heavenly

Tribulation Vortex had transmitted much more to him from the Great Dao,

but now was not the time for contemplation.

His master and the others would surely be extremely worried if he came alone to overcome the tribulation. And

there was no telling when the white-robed man’s senior brother would arrive.

So the most urgent thing now is to go back to the village and report that he

is safe. As for the chapter on the great Dao, it will not be too late to slowly comprehend it later.

Anyway, he has now entered the Golden Core Realm, and no matter how strong the senior brother of the white-robed man is, he has the confidence to resist him.

“It’s getting late, let’s go back first.”

Lu Qing’s figure soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards Jiuli Village.

After Lu Qing left, the surroundings suddenly returned to peace.

It was as if everything before was just a dream.

Only the majestic mountain that was destroyed beyond recognition by the thunder tribulation and half of it was flattened proved that this place had indeed experienced a shocking heavenly tribulation.
