Countless fist shadows crisscrossed the sky, their overwhelming power nearly twisting the very space of the area!

Ancestor Wan Ku was a ruthless figure. Seeing the fist intent about to catch up with him, he decisively severed his lower half, leaving behind a foul-smelling blood mist before disappearing without a trace!

"Hmph! The Gu Family of Heroic Spirit City! This debt, the Ancestor will remember, and I will surely reclaim it in the future! Hahaha!"

In the night sky, Ancestor Wan Ku's voice lingered for a long time, but his presence had already vanished...

Staring at the mangled remains left by Ancestor Wan Ku, Gu Liantian sighed deeply, "A warrior cutting off his own arm, truly decisive and ruthless! Our Gu Family has gained another formidable enemy..."

"Roar!"

A black dragon coiled, ready to pursue, but was stopped by Gu Liantian.

"Do not chase a cornered enemy! Feng has just crossed the tribulation, and now is the crucial moment for forming his elixir. Let him go."

Turning back to Gu Feng's side, Gu Liantian was pleasantly surprised to find that Gu Feng's Golden Elixir was on the verge of forming.

At this moment, deep within Gu Feng's spiritual sea, seven-colored light illuminated the entire sea in a dazzling display. The Innate Dao Embryo sat quietly above the spiritual sea, surrounded by countless Daoist symbols slowly rotating around it.

A Golden Elixir hung below it, undergoing the tempering of the seven-colored radiance. With each pass of the light, the elixir became more condensed, growing larger with each cycle.

As the seven-colored lights took turns, Gu Feng's Golden Elixir became increasingly refined, now nearly the size of half a fist.

At the final moment, Gu Feng focused his mind, observing the Yin-Yang, reaching the depths of creation, and fully activating the Heavenly Insight Mysterious Embryo Strategy. The Innate Dao Embryo absorbed the seven-colored light in one breath, transforming it directly into the elixir's energy.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Looking again at the Golden Elixir, it had lost its golden luster, briefly dulled, then burst into a brilliant seven-colored glow!

Gu Feng's Golden Elixir was like a rainbow, seven-colored!

"Seven-Colored Pill!?"

Gu Liantian noticed the change in Gu Feng's body, realizing he had completed forming the elixir, filled with both joy and astonishment.

Typically, a cultivator's Golden Elixir is golden, a condensation of all their cultivation power and True Core.

Of course, there are ghost or demonic cultivators whose inner elixirs, due to their cultivation methods, appear black or green, known as ghost elixirs and demon elixirs.

However, a seven-colored Golden Elixir is extremely rare. Cultivators with such an elixir may not have a significant advantage in cultivation power, but their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is usually much deeper than those of the same realm.

Every time they cast a spell, it unconsciously carries the power of heaven and earth, which ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

Gu Feng slowly withdrew his power, opening his eyes to see Gu Liantian waiting in front of him. He quickly smiled, "Father, I've withstood the tribulation!"

Gu Liantian nodded, having many questions for Gu Feng, but not in a hurry to ask them.

"Roar..."

A low growl immediately caught Gu Feng's attention. Following the sound, he saw a massive black dragon lying beside him, its huge head resting on his thigh, baring its teeth at him.

"Damn!"

Startled, Gu Feng leaped several meters away, quickly distancing himself from the black dragon.

"What kind of demon is this?! How dare it cause trouble here! Was it drawn by the commotion of my tribulation?!"

With a wry smile, Gu Liantian said helplessly, "This is Jiu Long."

"Jiu Long!?" Gu Feng was taken aback, comparing the giant dragon before him with the cold-faced man in black from his memory, and asked, "How did he turn into a big mud eel?!"

"It was to protect you."

Gu Liantian slowly recounted the events to Gu Feng.

From Gu Liantian, Gu Feng learned a huge secret: Jiu Long was actually a demon cultivator!

Moreover, his status was extremely noble, belonging to the royal family of the demon race!

As for why he took human form and stayed by Gu Liantian's side, Gu Liantian refused to elaborate.

Gu Liantian only warned Gu Feng that this secret must not be revealed to anyone, or it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Even without Gu Liantian's warning, Gu Feng understood. The Eastern Region was the stronghold of human cultivators, traditionally at odds with the Southern Barbarian demon cultivators, with deep-seated animosity between the two races.

If it were known that the City Lord of Heroic Spirit City harbored a great demon, and that this demon was of the Southern Barbarian royal lineage, it would implicate the entire Gu Family.

What moved Gu Feng was that to protect him, Jiu Long did not hesitate to reveal his true form, temporarily boosting his combat power to defeat Daoist Kui. The cost, however, was being unable to revert to human form for three hours.

In fact, with Jiu Long's fourth-tier Spirit Dividing realm cultivation, defeating the peak Elemental Infant Daoist Kui would have been a matter of time, even without revealing his true form.

However, circumstances did not allow for that. With Gu Feng as a burden, he had to choose a swift victory!

The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became for Gu Feng!

"Jiu Long, rest assured, when I return to Heroic Spirit City, I'll give you a raise, uh... and get you a bone to gnaw on!"

Gu Feng was moved, but his words were teasing, reaching out to touch Jiu Long's dragon horn.

"Roar! Roar!"

Jiu Long bared his teeth, black ghostly fire crackling from his nostrils, scaring Gu Feng into quickly withdrawing his hand.

Thinking that he was now a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator, yet this bastard still acted so domineeringly towards him, Gu Feng smiled wryly, realizing that unless he surpassed Jiu Long in cultivation, earning his respect would be difficult.
