231: Treat yourself

In the future, when I release it again, it won't just be used as a Formation!

It alone can sweep through everything!

After Gu Changan regained his focus, he looked at the Soul Slasher in his hand.

"You really are amazing!"

"You truly deserve to be the Magic Treasure that everyone dreams of obtaining!"

"The ultimate dream of a Sword Cultivator!"

"I didn't expect you to be this powerful after advancing to a Spirit Treasure."

"Alright, go back and rest!"

Then, with a release of his hand, the Soul Slasher turned into a streak of light and returned to his Dantian.

Gu Changan felt heroic and began walking with a swagger towards the outer Misty Swamp.

It seems the plan should change as well.

Previously, he felt that because he had just formed his Golden Core and passed the Heavenly Tribulation...

...he was still in a weakened state, and his Heavenly Tribulation had attracted so much attention.

He instinctively wanted to hide himself!

But now he realized that he could take on 20 people and barely get a speck of dust on his clothes.

So, what was there to hide?

What was there to fear?

As long as he wasn't facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would be more than capable of handling anything.

Gu Changan was in a great mood. Before long, he crossed the Misty Swamp and arrived at Jubao City once again.

Watching most people converging towards Jubao City, among whom were many Golden Core Cultivators...

...Gu Changan was clearly moving against the flow in their eyes.

Although he didn't care about them, he couldn't just kill everyone he saw!

In order not to be so conspicuous and not to look for trouble!

He diverted a few dozen miles to the north and then disguised his aura to that of a Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Just like that, he entered Jubao City again.

Many Golden Core Cultivators swept their Divine Sense over Gu Changan, only thinking that Gu Changan was a Cultivator from some clan.

Perhaps he was here to gather information!

Gu Changan was in high spirits due to the happy occasion. He found a restaurant, sat in the main hall, and listened to everyone chatting.

One of them, a Cultivator with completely white eyes, leaned his head into the middle of the table.

He said mysteriously, "Do you know?"

"Something strange happened at the Ancient Forbidden Land!"

A ruddy-faced Cultivator next to him asked in a low voice, "What's the situation? Tell us more?"

The white-eyed Cultivator said, "Actually, there has been constant rumbling at the Ancient Forbidden Land for the past two days!"

"It is said that someone is Undergoing Tribulation!"

The ruddy-faced Cultivator asked, "Undergoing Tribulation?"

"What level of strength?"

"Why haven't I heard of anyone needing to Undergo Tribulation?"

The white-eyed Cultivator was very satisfied with everyone's questioning.

He sat up straight, "That's what you don't know!"

"Actually, there are two situations for Undergoing Tribulation!"

"One is the ultimate dream of all Cultivators: the Tribulation Stage!"

At this moment, someone nearby retorted, "How is that possible?"

"The Tribulation Stage?"

"How many Nascent Soul Ancestors have you seen?"

"Above the Nascent Soul Stage is the Soul Transformation Stage!"

"Above Soul Transformation is Body Integration, and only after that is the Tribulation Stage!"

"Nascent Soul Ancestors are rarely seen, let alone Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators!"

Then he whispered, "It is rumored that only the ancestors of the four major forces might be at the Soul Transformation Stage!"

"And that's just a rumor!"

"No one knows the truth!"

"However, if there were no Soul Transformation Stage experts, how could these major forces rule over so many regions so securely?"

The four people at the table all nodded silently, digesting the shock brought by this news.

The ruddy-faced Cultivator picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "In that case, it's really possible that there are Soul Transformation Stage experts!"

"Otherwise, relying solely on Nascent Soul Cultivators, it would be impossible to hold such a large territory."

However, he looked back at the white-eyed Cultivator.

"You said there is a Cultivator at the Tribulation Stage Undergoing Tribulation inside, that's impossible, okay!"

The white-eyed Cultivator touched the plate on the table and tossed a peanut into his mouth.

"I didn't say there was!"

"It's just a slight possibility!"

"Do you think these top forces would let this slight possibility go?"

The ruddy-faced Cultivator said excitedly, "I was wondering, why have so many people come to Jubao City recently?"

"And most of them are Golden Core Cultivators, not to mention countless Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators!"

"Among them, the few flashes of pressure I felt, I judged to be Nascent Soul Ancestors!"

"Could it be that they have attracted even Nascent Soul Ancestors?"

Gu Changan's action of gnawing on meat paused. What was going on?

He just went through a Tribulation, why did it seem like the world was in chaos?

Why were Nascent Soul Cultivators coming here?

To cause him trouble?

Or was it because he exchanged for the core formation pill and escaped, and was exposed?

But there was no need to send out Nascent Soul Cultivators to catch him!

Wouldn't it be better for Nascent Soul Cultivators to stay home and Cultivate?

Why go to such lengths to run errands?

However, he still pricked up his ears to listen carefully!

The white-eyed Cultivator enjoyed the feeling of being sought after, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

Then he continued, "That's what you don't know!"

"If it really is the Tribulation Stage!"

"Do you think these forces would allow another Old Ancestor to be placed above them?"

"Or an Old Ancestor who could kill you with a single glance?"

"Or someone whose casual strike could turn your forces into dust?"

"Would you hand over your own life to someone like that?"

The people next to him shook their heads desperately.

Although the white-eyed Cultivator couldn't see, his Divine Sense observed the situation of the others.

"That settles it!"

"The Nascent Soul Ancestors are here, one reason is to determine if there is a Cultivator at the Tribulation Stage!"

"The other reason, listen to me slowly explain!"

The ruddy-faced Cultivator was a bit anxious, "Don't keep us in suspense! Blind man!"

"I'll treat you to this meal!"

The white-eyed Cultivator slapped his thigh, "I was waiting for those words!"

"Another situation can also trigger the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"That is the legendary peerless Genius!"

"Peerless Geniuses are not obvious during the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment, but when condensing the Golden Core, heaven will send down thunder punishment!"

"This is what is called heaven envying the talented!"

"Not just the Golden Core, there will also be Heavenly Tribulation in the future Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Every major step up will have a Heavenly Tribulation!"

The ruddy-faced Cultivator was a bit excited, "Are you saying there is a peerless Prodigy inside the Ancient Forbidden Land right now?"

The white-eyed Cultivator fumbled for the meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

He mumbled, "Yes!"

"There is a 99% chance that there is a peerless Genius inside!"

"There is only a slight possibility of a Tribulation Stage!"

"Which one do you think it is?"

The others, having heard the blind man's analysis, were also satisfied.

They began to quickly devour the meat on the table.

The ruddy-faced Cultivator said, "Of course it's a peerless Genius!"

"In this world, how could the Spiritual Qi support so many people to Cultivate?"

"Otherwise, Golden Core Cultivators would be as common as dogs, and Nascent Soul Cultivators would be everywhere!"

The white-eyed Cultivator nodded, "Exactly!"

"Do you know when the last time a peerless Genius Underwent Tribulation was?"

At this time, someone next to him wiped his mouth and interjected, "When?"

The white-eyed Cultivator recalled, "About 300 years ago!"

The ruddy-faced Cultivator said in surprise, "300 years ago?"
