608: Love disaster? (Please subscribe and vote monthly)

On Shuangmu Island, two streaks of iridescent cloud stood opposite each other.

One was fiery red, the other golden like thunder.

Many Lin Family Cultivators flew into the sky at this moment. This was not a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough to Purple Mansion, as the Lin Family now had one or two Breakthroughs to Purple Mansion every year, some successful, some not.

It was no longer surprising, and even during each Purple Mansion Breakthrough, there were hardly any third-order Great Yao Beasts left, as they had all been cleared out by the Lin Family Cultivators.

This time, the two breaking through to Golden Core caused an immense stir.

And it was almost simultaneous.

“Ze Lu, Lin Shiyun, go check the Nine-Layered Thunder Pagoda Formation!” Lin Shiming ordered Lin Ze Lu and Lin Shiyun beside him.

Lin Ze Lu was now a fourth-order top-grade Formation Master, so checking the Formation was no problem. Although Lin Shiyun was a bit less skilled, helping out was fine.

A Purple Mansion Breakthrough to Golden Core inevitably involved a Lightning Tribulation. Therefore, the Nine-Layered Thunder Pagoda Formation had to be set up to help them withstand part of the Lightning Tribulation.

Of course, to prevent both of them from undergoing the Lightning Tribulation at the same time, two sets of preparations had to be made, and treasures to resist the Lightning Tribulation also needed to be ready.

Otherwise, if their cultivation broke through but they failed to withstand the Lightning Tribulation, that would truly be a pity.

If they failed to pass the Lightning Tribulation, it was important to know that even others could not help.

Lin Shiming had given the Red-haired Demon Queen a Yao Beast Inner Core, allowing her to become a Dragon Ape, but that was merely a restorative Spirit Pill, giving her a desperate chance.

But to say it could help withstand the Lightning Tribulation was impossible.

“Father, can Mother succeed?” Lin Zeying also flew over, his face filled with worry.

There were not many Purple Mansion Golden Core Cultivators in the air. On the Golden Core side, only Lin Shiming was present; everyone else was not on the island.

There were quite a few Purple Mansion Cultivators, but besides a select few, Lin Shiming only knew their names.

This was also because the Lin Family now had many clan members.

“Of course, your mother’s Divine Soul has long since broken through to fifth-order Divine Soul, and her Divine Sense is not much worse than an ordinary Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator. Plus, you haven’t done anything to worry her, so breaking through should be no problem,” Lin Shiming said with immense confidence.

Of course, his confidence was not only for Shitao but also for Lei Xuan.

The other party had been in the Lin Family for over two hundred years, always cautious, and had even sent out several sons to establish the Lei Family. His actions throughout his life were relatively prudent, so the probability of his Breakthrough should also be high.

After all, the other party had been tempered in the Heavenly Thunder Realm for a period of time. Although he hadn't reached the Acquired Thunder Body, he was not far from it.

As the Cultivators watched, the Formation on Shuangmu Island was activated.

Above the sky, the iridescent clouds grew denser as time passed... On Thousand Wood Peak, Shitao glowed with a golden-red light. The True Essence within her body had condensed to its extreme, continuously surging from her Purple Mansion Dao veins.

The most difficult part of condensing a Golden Core was solidifying the spiritual liquid into a Golden Core.

But fortunately, her Divine Sense was extremely powerful, allowing her to control this condensation without major issues. Additionally, she had taken a Core Formation Pill, so all steps proceeded in an orderly manner.

Countless rays of light surged into her body. Besides the Core Formation Pill, she also held a top-grade fire spirit stone in her hand, ready in case the Spiritual Qi purity was insufficient or the Spiritual Qi amount was lacking.

As time passed, a fist-sized Golden Core gradually appeared within her body.

However, this Golden Core was currently rough and uneven, just like in Alchemy, it needed to be refined and shrunk.

And at this very moment, the Heart Demon Tribulation arrived, and countless illusions began to appear.

However, Shitao had already experienced these illusions in the Illusion Heart Pavilion. They were still about Lin Shiming, about her deceased father, and about Lin Zeying.

She dealt with them all calmly.

She had experienced these too many times, so sometimes, she even smiled faintly.

She cherished everything she had now; this was the Foundation of her Dao of the small family.

However, the next moment, with a flash of illusion, a pavilion appeared before her eyes.

Inside the pavilion, Lin Shiming was smiling, discussing heaven and earth, and in front of her was a beautiful woman, like ice and frost.

That woman was truly cold and enchanting, like a peerless beautiful jade, making Shitao a little jealous.

And next to Lin Shiming, there was also a snow-white fox-woman, with an indescribable charm.

In an instant, Shitao’s eyes turned red.

“Seventh Uncle!”

“Seventh Uncle!”

She called out desperately, but at this moment, Lin Shiming seemed not to hear, showing no reaction at all.

Instead, he was engrossed with these two women, and she saw that the fox-woman had five tails, her talent comparable to a true spirit, and that female Cultivator also had an Ice Spiritual Root plus a spiritual body, her talent no less than her son Lin Zeying's.

This scene made her even more anxious.

And unknowingly, the condensing Golden Core began to dissipate.

This was a sign of a failed Breakthrough.

Illusions about other people might not mean much to her, but Lin Shiming alone was the hurdle that ran through her life.

Even the red clouds in the sky began to show problems.

Outside, some people Lin Shiming was watching were extremely anxious at this moment; this was a premonition of a failed Breakthrough.

Did Shitao fail once when breaking through to Purple Mansion, and would she fail again when breaking through to Golden Core?

Inside the Immortal Cave, a tiny ten thousand year cold jade pendant around Shitao’s neck began to emit a cold light. This cold light instantly plunged Shitao into an icy coffin.

That aura made her instantly realize.

“Seventh Uncle wouldn’t be like this; Seventh Uncle has always had a clear Dao Heart!” Shitao shook her head.

She thought of her past with Lin Shiming.

How could a person with such a Dao Heart be like that?

“You fakes, begone!” Shitao shouted, and the illusions finally vanished.

She continued to condense the Golden Core.

However, although she stabilized, she found that the condensed Golden Core was still not as good as before, having been delayed for some time.

It ultimately only reached the level of a Medium Grade Golden Core.

“It’s enough, I can accompany Seventh Uncle for a thousand years!” Shitao still smiled.

For her, it was already satisfying.

As she stood up, a Lightning Tribulation began to appear in the sky, and all the thunderclouds headed towards Shitao.

Shitao also took a step towards the nearby Sub-island.

She was Undergoing Tribulation.

“Seventh Uncle, wait for me!” After leaving the Immortal Cave, Shitao cried out to Lin Shiming, somewhat overcome with joy.

Then she stepped onto the prepared thunder Formation and began Undergoing Tribulation.

In the sky, it was indeed a Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation.

It was just enough to reach a Medium Grade Golden Core, somewhat inferior even to Lin Shimo Immortal Master Jiuxiao.

But precisely because of this, the power of the Lightning Tribulation was much smaller, and as time passed, with the Nine-Layered Thunder Pagoda Formation, she quickly broke through the Lightning Tribulation.

In the sky, a Lightning Tribulation Pool also appeared.

She stepped into the Lightning Tribulation Pool and began to absorb it.

“Congratulations, Seventh Grand Aunt, on breaking through to Golden Core and achieving the Great Dao!” Lin Yanjiao was the first to speak again.

As soon as her voice rang out,

The others also began to celebrate.

“Congratulations, Mother, on breaking through to Golden Core and achieving the Great Dao!”

...After everyone else had finished shouting, even Lin Shiming spoke:

“Congratulations, Shitao, on advancing another step!” (End of Chapter)
