Guo Feilong gazed towards the Forbidden Zone, knowing that Wu Yumeng had successfully formed her Golden Elixir.
In the path of immortal cultivation, one defies the heavens. Upon reaching the Golden Elixir stage, each breakthrough to a higher stage requires facing tribulation lightning.
For those in the Tribulation Crossing stage, even a minor breakthrough means enduring a heavenly tribulation.
Tribulation lightning is extremely dangerous for cultivators. Failing to overcome it can result in permanent damage to one's spiritual root or, at best, injuries that require a long recovery.
For those at the Tribulation Crossing stage, failing to overcome the tribulation can have severe consequences, ranging from serious injury to complete annihilation.
The Golden Elixir formed by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators starts as a false elixir. If it withstands the power of the tribulation lightning, it will solidify into a true Golden Elixir.
If the false elixir cannot withstand the tribulation lightning, it will shatter back into the Foundation Establishment stage, damaging the spiritual root and the foundation, resulting in a failed elixir formation.
The Yang Essence Pill is known for increasing the success rate of forming a Golden Elixir because it has the ability to stabilize the false elixir, enhancing its resistance to tribulation lightning.
At this moment, Guo Feilong saw a figure flying out of the Forbidden Zone, stepping on auspicious clouds and then sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
It was Wu Yumeng.
A brilliant Golden Elixir emerged from above Wu Yumeng's head, resembling a small, golden sun.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that her Golden Elixir appeared quite illusory, like a bubble, not yet fully solidified.
The current state of the Golden Elixir was that of a false elixir.
"Master, I want to go to the tribulation site."
At this moment, the artifact spirit of Guo Feilong's lifebound sacred treasure suddenly awakened and communicated with him through divine sense, saying, "I feel I can absorb the power of the tribulation lightning to help the mistress successfully pass through it."
Guo Feilong was taken aback and asked, "You can help someone overcome tribulation lightning?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I believe I can absorb the power of the tribulation lightning and reduce the damage it does to the mistress's Golden Elixir."
The artifact spirit of the lifebound sacred treasure was not entirely confident.
Guo Feilong thought, "Regardless, it's worth a try. My lifebound sacred treasure was crafted using three thousand auspicious clouds, so it should be capable of absorbing tribulation lightning."
After all, his lifebound sacred treasure could also release the power of tribulation lightning, sharing the same origin. It might indeed help Wu Yumeng overcome the Golden Elixir tribulation.
In the next moment, a white cloud rose beneath his feet as he flew towards a mountain peak near the Guo family’s Forbidden Zone, ensuring no one was around.
His lifebound sacred treasure transformed into a beam of light from the Baihui Acupoint atop his head, soaring directly into the sky.
The lifebound sacred treasure did not fly directly into the tribulation clouds but hovered five to six thousand meters above Wu Yumeng's Golden Elixir.
Boom!
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
At that moment, a bolt of tribulation lightning descended from the tribulation clouds.
It was as terrifying as a furious dragon emerging from the abyss.
In the tens of thousands of meters high sky, Guo Feilong's humanoid lifebound sacred treasure appeared, with mysterious runes surfacing on its metallic exterior, drawing in strands of tribulation lightning.
The tribulation lightning first struck his humanoid lifebound sacred treasure, then continued downwards towards Wu Yumeng's Golden Elixir.
Connected in mind and spirit with his lifebound sacred treasure, Guo Feilong sensed the mysterious runes on it absorbing a significant amount of the tribulation lightning's power, reducing its strength by at least thirty percent.
Don't underestimate this thirty percent reduction; sometimes even a five percent difference can determine success or failure.
With the tribulation lightning's power reduced by thirty percent, combined with the Yang Essence Pill's fifty percent increase in success rate, Wu Yumeng now had at least an eighty percent chance of becoming a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.
Thinking of this, Guo Feilong was overjoyed. For his wives and children with spiritual roots, if they were to face the Golden Elixir tribulation in the future, they would also have an eighty percent success rate.
Even if they failed the first time, they would still have an eighty percent chance on their second attempt.
In the future, when facing the Elemental Infant stage tribulation or the Transformation stage tribulation, his lifebound sacred treasure could help weaken the tribulation lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One bolt of tribulation lightning after another descended.
Moments later, the tribulation ended.
Wu Yumeng's Golden Elixir suddenly shone brightly, transforming from a false elixir into a solid Golden Elixir in an instant, like a drop of water rapidly freezing into an ice bead.
Whoosh!
Wu Yumeng retrieved the Golden Elixir into her energy core, looking up into the sky with confusion, seeing nothing.
During the tribulation, she felt as if something was weakening the power of the tribulation lightning.
"Was it just my imagination?"
Wu Yumeng withdrew her divine sense and gaze, thinking, "It must have been an illusion. I've never heard of anything in this world that can directly reduce the power of tribulation lightning."
In the early Golden Elixir stage, divine sense can cover 100 miles; in the mid-stage, it's 150 miles; in the late stage, it's 200 miles; and at the late stage's completion, it's 250 miles. In the False Nascent Soul stage, it's 300 miles.
Guo Feilong was only thirty miles from the Guo family’s Forbidden Zone, and the moment Wu Yumeng's divine sense spread, she discovered him.
In the next moment, Wu Yumeng transformed into a beam of light, flying over and leaping into Guo Feilong's arms, exclaiming, "Husband, I've become a Golden Elixir stage cultivator!"
Her face was full of excitement and joy, a feeling any cultivator would share upon such an achievement.
"Husband, my Golden Elixir is a medium quality one, with ten percent more mystic power than a normal Golden Elixir," Wu Yumeng said happily.
Golden Elixirs are divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and supreme.
A low-quality Golden Elixir stores normal mystic power.
A medium-quality Golden Elixir has ten percent more mystic power than a low-quality one.
A high-quality Golden Elixir has twenty percent more mystic power than a low-quality one.
A supreme-quality Golden Elixir has thirty percent more mystic power than a low-quality one.
Don't underestimate the difference of one, two, or three percent in mystic power.
In battles between cultivators, even a five percent difference in mystic power can determine victory or defeat, let alone ten percent.
"Husband, I've just formed my Golden Elixir, and my stage needs to stabilize. I'll go into seclusion to consolidate my stage."
After embracing for a moment, Wu Yumeng returned to the Guo family’s Forbidden Zone to cultivate in seclusion, where the spiritual energy was dozens of times more abundant than outside.
Not only is it easier to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into one's own mystic power during cultivation, but staying in a place rich in spiritual energy also makes the body feel particularly comfortable.
As soon as Wu Yumeng entered the formation of the Forbidden Zone, Guo Feilong's lifebound sacred treasure returned from the sky to his energy core.
"Master, I've absorbed a lot of tribulation lightning power. I need to convert it into my own tribulation rune power and will go into a period of dormancy," the artifact spirit's voice gradually weakened.
Guo Feilong hadn't expected such a fortunate turn of events. His lifebound sacred treasure bore mysterious tribulation runes.
The more tribulation runes it had, the greater the power of tribulation lightning it could release.
Wu Yumeng spent three days in seclusion, thoroughly stabilizing her stage, and returned from the Guo family’s Forbidden Zone to the Guo family palace.
Now, she was the only Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator in the Guo family.
Guo Feilong's other wives and concubines all respected her, as cultivation stage was the true symbol of status and position in the cultivation world.
Wu Yumeng was now the foremost figure in the Guo family, and Guo Feilong gave her the token to control the secondary formation of the Guo family's Heavenly Abode, familiarizing her with the formation's capabilities over several days.
Although he was the creator of the small world within the Heavenly Abode, he was only a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and his mystic power was far inferior to Wu Yumeng's Golden Elixir stage.
If a powerful enemy were to invade in the future, the formation in the hands of Wu Yumeng, a Golden Elixir stage cultivator, would be far more formidable than in his own hands as a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
The difference between the Golden Elixir and Foundation Establishment stages was not only in mystic power storage but also in output capability.
For example, the Foundation Establishment stage can release up to 5 units of mystic power, while the Golden Elixir stage can release up to 50 units.
They are simply not on the same level.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
It was time for Yuwen Yanhong to give birth.
Perhaps it was divine favor, or perhaps the Family Fortune Cauldron influenced their luck, but Yuwen Yanhong's firstborn daughter had a high-quality medium spiritual root.
When Yuwen Yanhong was taken, she received many auspicious clouds, and Guo Feilong directly enhanced this daughter's spiritual root from high-quality medium to earth-grade high.
The righteous and demon paths' war on the Arctic Continent's cultivation world continued as Guo Feilong had anticipated, not ending quickly but still ongoing.
That night, a Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator arrived above the fog formation at the entrance of the Guo family's Heavenly Abode.
