I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Deep within the Thousand Peaks mountain range, Zhang Yifan's cultivation had entered a crucial stage.

After reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he felt that the true essence in his body had reached a saturated state, and his dantian was filled with a vast power, as if it would break through the shackles of the Foundation Establishment stage at any moment.

In order to break through this bottleneck, he chose to cultivate in seclusion in this remote mountain cave, determined to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Zhang Yifan sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Chaos Technique, causing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge into his body like a tide.

As spiritual energy continued to gather, the true essence within his body became increasingly abundant, and a tremendous pressure gradually formed in his dantian.

Zhang Yifan understood that the Golden Core was about to be formed, and his cultivation was about to achieve a breakthrough.

Under the continuous compression of true essence, a vortex gradually formed within the dantian.

The vortex began to rotate slowly, and the true essence at its center gradually condensed, forming a large golden elixir that radiated brilliant light.

The golden elixir floated above his dantian, its light dazzling, like a small sun.

However, this was far from over. As the Great Golden Core took shape, Zhang Yifan was surprised to find that the true essence in his dantian was not completely exhausted. Instead, it split into eight streams of true essence, which condensed into eight smaller golden cores in different locations within the dantian.

These eight smaller golden pills slowly rotated around the larger golden pill, forming a wondrous balance among them, as if nine suns were hanging in the sky.

Zhang Yifan's true essence seemed to have undergone a tremendous transformation, becoming incredibly solid. He could clearly feel his cultivation level rapidly increasing, and the true essence within his body becoming purer than ever before.

With the successful condensation of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, Zhang Yifan's cultivation level also broke through to a completely new realm.

The moment the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was successfully formed, the power within Zhang Yifan's body suddenly underwent a qualitative change.

He felt his true energy surging like the sea, as if he possessed boundless power. Just as he was awestruck by the strength of this power, suddenly, a roar echoed across the sky, and the sky instantly darkened.

Zhang Yifan looked up and saw dark clouds rapidly gathering in the sky above, with lightning flashing within them, as if a terrifying power was brewing.

This celestial phenomenon made Zhang Yifan wary. He knew it was a sign that a tribulation of lightning was about to descend.

"A lightning tribulation? How could there be a lightning tribulation?!" Zhang Yifan was shocked. Normally, lightning tribulations are a natural danger that cultivators encounter when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he had only just condensed his Golden Core. How could he possibly attract a lightning tribulation?

Just as he was filled with doubt and surprise, the voice of his master, the Chaos Ancestor Li Taixu, appeared in his mind.

Li Taixu gazed at the strange phenomenon in the sky, his brow furrowed and his expression grave. He looked up at the churning thunderclouds and slowly said, "This is no ordinary tribulation; it is the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan felt a chill run down his spine. Although he didn't quite understand what the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation was, he sensed an unprecedented danger from his master's words.

Li Taixu glanced at Zhang Yifan with a hint of mockery and asked, "Kid, have you been making some random oaths lately? How did you attract such a heavenly tribulation? Logically speaking, in this world, a Golden Core cultivator shouldn't face a tribulation, let alone a Nine-Turn Heavenly Tribulation!"

Zhang Yifan was taken aback by his master's question and quickly shook his head, saying, "Master, I didn't make any rash oaths, nor did I do anything that would anger heaven and man! I was just breaking through to the Golden Core stage step by step, who knew it would attract such a tribulation."

After listening to this, Li Taixu pondered for a moment, then nodded as if he understood: "It seems that it is because you have condensed the Nine-Turn Golden Core. The Nine-Turn Golden Core is the legendary pinnacle of the Golden Core stage, possessing endless potential. Heaven believes that you have the potential to become a being that overturns the rules, so it has sent down the Heavenly Tribulation."

Just as Zhang Yifan and Li Taixu were shocked by the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation, the sky over the entire Qingzhou became abnormal due to this tribulation.

The Nascent Soul elders of the seven major sects of Qingzhou, who had been in seclusion, were also awakened by this powerful aura of tribulation lightning.

These patriarchs usually cultivate in seclusion, seeking to break through to a higher realm, but at this moment they were all awakened by this terrifying aura of tribulation lightning, and they all communicated with each other through divine sense.

Sensing the power of this tribulation lightning, Xuan Kongzi first used his divine sense to transmit his voice: "Fellow Daoists, the power of this tribulation lightning is extraordinary. I'm afraid only that level-nine demon beast deep in the Thousand Peaks Mountains could attract such a tribulation lightning. Could it be that old monster undergoing its transformation tribulation lightning?"

The patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect, Dao Xuanzi, responded, "That's unlikely. That old monster reached the strength to transform hundreds of years ago, but for some reason, it has never been able to transform successfully. Even today, it shouldn't have attracted such a terrifying heavenly tribulation."

The Supreme Sect Master of the Hundred Refinements Sect, True Person Zhutian, continued, "Then who exactly is undergoing tribulation? Could it be that a Nascent Soul cultivator failed to break through, thus attracting the heavenly tribulation?"

Lingyun Sword Sect's Supreme Sect Master, Ling Jianzu, sneered, "Hmph, the aura of this heavenly tribulation is too strange; it's definitely not an ordinary tribulation. Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared, attracting divine punishment?"

Valley Master Hua Luo Wuhen remained silent for a moment, then transmitted his thoughts, saying, "Regardless of the circumstances, this phenomenon is extraordinary. Let's wait and see what happens."

The patriarchs of the seven major sects exchanged whispers and discussed amongst themselves, but none could determine the true cause of this Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation. Xuan Kongzi, Zhang Yifan's other master, was also secretly observing. Sensing the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, he felt a vague unease, thinking, "Won't that brat Yifan cause some serious trouble?"

Meanwhile, under Li Taixu's guidance, Zhang Yifan quickly adjusted his mindset, preparing to face the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation. In the sky, thunderclouds rolled and lightning flashed, as if the wrath of heaven and earth was brewing.

Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, and the Nine-Turn Golden Pill within his body began to slowly rotate. The eight small golden pills and one large golden pill formed a mysterious cycle, emitting brilliant golden light and providing him with a continuous source of power.

"Master, I'm ready!" Zhang Yifan clenched his fist, his eyes filled with determination. He knew that this tribulation of heavenly lightning would be the greatest test of his will to cultivate, but he was not afraid.

Li Taixu smiled slightly and patted his shoulder: "Alright, your master will protect you here. Go all out and face this Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation."

Zhang Yifan nodded, and the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword in his hand was suddenly drawn, its blade flashing with sharp sword energy that echoed the lightning in the sky. He was fully focused, preparing to face this test from the heavens.

Thunder roared in the sky, and after a long period of preparation, the first bolt of lightning finally struck down, directly hitting Zhang Yifan's head. The lightning was blinding, illuminating the entire mountain range as if it were daytime, and Zhang Yifan faced this heavenly tribulation with his strongest posture.
