I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Bone monsters are hard to fight, but which cultivator would refuse a bone monster with a crystal core?

Why bother watching your cultivation level keep rising, experiencing the joy of spending money for the first time?

No one dislikes resources, so why only feel that you lack money and power at times?

Now that the crystal core is right in front of him, he can't wait to fight more monsters.

He vaguely sensed that his cultivation was breaking through.

Before he could even gather his thoughts, Long Aotian, who was beside him, suddenly spoke:

"I'm going to advance to the next level, which may take some time."

“You advance first, and I will protect you. I should be able to advance soon too,” Bai Zhizhou said.

"?"

Jiang He and He Bi looked at each other in silence.

How could the gap between people be so huge? Although Jiang He vaguely sensed the trend of advancement, if she didn't rely on absorbing high-level crystal cores or consuming pills, she would probably have to fight for several days and nights to advance.

Jiang He knew in her heart that she still had to spend money when necessary. Even if her cultivation level was increased, if she was one level lower, her strength would still be much weaker than others.

Long Aotian sat cross-legged, his body filled with rich spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to suppress his cultivation any longer.

After consuming an advancement pill, he awaited the arrival of the tribulation lightning.

When a cultivator advances from the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, they must undergo a tribulation of lightning. This tribulation is a reaction of the creation of heaven and earth, and is a kind of heavenly tribulation.

The tribulation of lightning will test a cultivator's ability to cultivate both internal and external strength, as well as the depth of their cultivation.

When the Dao Heart truly condenses into a Golden Core, it will trigger the process of attracting lightning tribulation.

If Long Aotian successfully overcomes the tribulation of heavenly lightning, he will reach the Golden Core stage, further enhancing his realm and gaining a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

For cultivators, although the tribulation of lightning is dangerous, it is also an essential path to achieving the Great Dao and improving one's realm.

Regardless of whether they can survive the tribulation, every cultivator initially hopes to advance from Foundation Establishment to Cultivator, at which point the Golden Core will be formed, marking a significant step on the path of cultivation.

Just as Long Aotian circulated his spiritual energy, a bolt of lightning suddenly cleaved the sky, like a blue dragon stretching across the heavens.

The sudden flash of lightning made Jiang He realize that the tribulation was truly upon them.

Lightning flashed continuously above the Senze Mountain Forest. The examinees who had just entered the instance looked at the weather and initially thought it was just an ordinary thunderstorm. After glancing at the sky, they didn't pay much attention to it.

But as time passed, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck down one after another.

Hai Chongkong traveled a long way from other instances to the location of the last instance. Before he could even rest, the number of cultivators around him increased.

They were not far from Hai Chongkong, holding magical implements and talismans in their hands.

Hai Chongkong touched his face. He, Zhu Yi, and the other cultivators in the group had such distinctive features that many examinees had their eyes on them.

At first, they didn't dare to mess with them, but as time went on and they realized that the college entrance exam was almost over, they all started to take action.

Even if Hai Chongkong is a Golden Core cultivator, how could so many of them not be able to defeat one Golden Core cultivator?

As it turned out, they were no match for each other. Hai Chongkong eliminated one of the candidates in no time, while Zhu Yi's magic weapon was a gun barrel. As long as she fired, she could bombard and affect a large area.

Nearly two-thirds of the candidates in this area were eliminated by Zhu Yi.

After the crowd dispersed, Hai Chongkong sat down on the ground for the first time, disregarding his image. Sometimes, eliminating candidates was much more tiring than fighting monsters.

As Hai Chongkong was thinking this, he wiped the blood off the whip, and a moment later a bolt of lightning flashed above his head.

Lightning and thunder appeared simultaneously. Looking at the thunder, Hai Chong turned around, a hint of uncertainty in his voice:

"??? There are people undergoing tribulation lightning in this damned dungeon, and they're even undergoing tribulation lightning at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Hai Chongkong was somewhat puzzled. When he advanced to the Golden Core stage, he not only found a safe place, but also had a teacher by his side to help him.

Logically speaking, there are too many uncertain factors in the dungeon, so undergoing the tribulation here is not a wise move.

Many monks, like Hai Chongkong, were puzzled and marveled at which warrior was so valiant.

What they saw next was something they could never believe.

There are seven tribulations in total from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and each tribulation is highlighted.

Under normal circumstances, if one cannot persevere during the tribulation or if one's Dao heart is shattered, the tribulation will end.

This means that the tribulation will fail. Cultivators who fail the tribulation will be devoured by the lightning tribulation. At best, their cultivation will regress; at worst, all their cultivation will be lost.

The consequences of failing a lightning tribulation are too severe, which is why other cultivators choose to ensure their own external safety when undergoing a lightning tribulation.

Long Aotian's seven lightning bolts descended quickly, and the examinees inside the instance clearly saw these seven bolts of lightning.

But the strange thing was that after those seven bolts of lightning passed, the sky was still crackling with electricity, and then they saw the eighth, the ninth, and the tenth bolts of lightning...

At once……

That's quite unusual.

Zhang Jiahui looked at the deafening roar in the sky and inwardly grumbled.

Wasn't the seven lightning strikes over? Why is there still a lightning tribulation?

Could it be that he has advanced from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage?

The candidates' cultivation levels were relatively open and transparent, and Zhang Jiahui never expected that one of the candidates would be at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

It wasn't until they saw a total of fourteen lightning bolts that they realized that the number of lightning bolts wasn't wrong, but rather that two cultivators were undergoing lightning tribulations.

Both of them are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

One person is one thing, but cultivators who advance through the college entrance examination are rare, though they do exist.

But now you tell them that not only did some people choose to break through and advance in dangerous environments, but they also succeeded in advancing.

More importantly, there are two more people like this!

This made many test takers feel a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

It's that old saying again: comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

As for Long Aotian, who actually succeeded in advancing, he wasn't as badly injured as one might expect during his tribulation; at most, his clothes were a bit torn.

The atmosphere, however, was quite cheerful.

Jiang He and He Bi, in particular, were laughing so hard they were practically going crazy.

"Why bother? Hurry up and lure the bone monster to the White Continent. There's still a lightning tribulation there."

"Alright, here it comes. This bone monster is really something, hahaha, we finally found its weakness. It turns out this guy is also afraid of lightning tribulation."
