Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1477: Core Formation

Su Yuanyuan watched the blue lightning crackling above the deep pit, just like water vapor above the surface of a lake.

"Dad, Mom, I have a Thunder Shock Body Tempering Cultivation Technique here. You two should be able to practice it as well. How about we cultivate this technique first?"

Tan Shaoting read it once and handed it to his wife. "We can. It should be safe here now. Don’t worry about us, go cultivate."

Qi Yan nodded, and without any hesitation he stepped into the Thunder Pool.

The couple studied the Cultivation Technique their son had given them. "This should be something Qi Yan obtained for himself."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "No matter what, we have to cultivate it successfully. There just happens to be a natural Thunder Pool here, and we’ve also got Body Tempering Fruits on hand. This is heaven’s timing, the right place, and the right people all together."

The couple entered the space. Qi Hong had already researched it by now. "Mom, you can completely add the juice of this Invisibility Grass into the Beast Blood when you do talisman painting."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "We’ll talk about it when I have time. Your big brother is in the Thunder Pool right now. There’s a Body Cultivation Technique here; let’s cultivate it as a family."

Qi Hong had read through the Cultivation Technique and smiled. "Good stuff. If we really manage to cultivate it, our future Heavenly Tribulations should be much easier, right?"

"Let’s go out."

The three of them cultivated according to the Cultivation Technique; this one also has Levels.

They slowly approached the Thunder Pool as well, and entered the Thunder Pool.

Su Yuanyuan felt genuine pain, but when she thought of the Heavenly Tribulations she’d encounter during major breakthroughs in the future, she still felt that Body Training was the simpler path.

Moreover, the most important thing here was that after Body Training, they would have much stronger resistance against attacks.

The family inched their way bit by bit toward the bottom of the Thunder Pool.

They had already eaten quite a few Body Tempering Fruits. But the gains were tremendous as well.

They had now cultivated to the Fourth Rank; which meant they could already withstand attacks at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Su Yuanyuan touched her own hair; it really was falling out and growing back, growing back and falling out.

They had already stayed in the Thunder Pool for over a year. In truth, cultivation is addictive. At this point, they were unwilling to leave even if told to.

They continued to move forward, and after such a long time they still hadn’t seen Qi Yan; his speed was too fast.

The three of them had already discussed it and decided to go all the way to the very bottom if possible.

In cultivation there is no sense of years; the whole family had already forgotten the exact time. They only knew they had been in the Thunder Pool for more than three years.

In these three years, the husband and wife had both reached Great Perfection.

Tan Shaoting’s cultivation speed could be called astonishing. In just a few short years, he was already a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator. You couldn’t exactly say his cultivation speed was twice that of his wife and children, but it was definitely faster than theirs.

The Body Training Cultivation Technique had already reached the Seventh Rank, and there had been no progress for half a year; it should be limited by their current cultivation.

Looking at their eldest son sitting in meditation ahead, the couple finally felt relieved. They themselves could no longer advance.

They didn’t want to disturb him, so the three of them left.

After leaving the Thunder Pool, those tiny bolts of lightning outside no longer harmed them at all.

"We also have to wait for Qi Yan. I’m going to form my Core."

Tan Shaoting had already seen that his wife was now truly able to advance at any time.

"Alright, I’ll stand guard at the side."

Su Yuanyuan smiled. "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Qi Hong was now already a Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer cultivator. He wasn’t far from the Golden Core either. But if he were to form his Core here, it would probably still take several years.

Su Yuanyuan set up a Spirit Gathering Array, and even prepared top-grade spiritual stones in advance. Only then did she release her cultivation, rapidly absorbing Spiritual Energy.

Tan Shaoting just stood by watching, thinking that after his wife formed her Core, he would also form his Nascent Soul here.

Su Yuanyuan felt herself being stretched uncomfortably full, as if her Dantian could no longer hold anything.

She knew the time had come. Again and again she charged at the barrier of the Golden Core Stage. In truth, this process was still quite uncomfortable. But thanks to Body Training, they were practically thick-skinned and tough-fleshed now, and even their Dantians were much sturdier than before.

She herself had no sense of time, but the father and son guarding outside were starting to get a little anxious.

After about ten hours, all of a sudden the Spiritual Energy seemed to be sucked dry.

Tan Shaoting quickly tossed top-grade spiritual stones into the Array.

Su Yuanyuan broke through the barrier of the Golden Core Stage and felt as if she had become light and floaty, almost about to fly into the air.

She seemed to see Zhao Yanli, saw Chengzi, and saw everyone she knew.

Su Yuanyuan felt like a bystander. She knew this was a Heart Demon, but it didn’t have much impact on her.

With that thought, all the scenes vanished.

The Heart Demon Tribulation passed that easily, and what came next was the Heavenly Tribulation. Su Yuanyuan waved her hand and dispelled all the Arrays. In fact, a Golden Core Stage Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be too great.

Now, outside the Thunder Pool, dark clouds were already thick in the sky.

Su Yuanyuan stood there ramrod straight, waiting. The first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation came down looking incomparably terrifying. But when it struck Su Yuanyuan, it only made her feel a bit of pain.

The subsequent bolts of Heavenly Tribulation came down in crackling succession, and Su Yuanyuan simply received them like this.

She was facing a Six Nine Thunder Tribulation; the first fifty-three bolts posed no problem.

Su Yuanyuan sensed that the last bolt of Heavenly Tribulation was punishment for her killing Bai Fengjiao, who was after all a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Sure enough, but Su Yuanyuan still stood there straight and unmoving.

Thunder Spiritual Power rampaged through her meridians. If it had been before, Su Yuanyuan would have thought it was destroying her meridians, but now, after experiencing it personally, she realized this was actually strengthening the toughness of her meridians.

Bit by bit she refined the Thunder Spiritual Power in her meridians.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before she opened her eyes. She didn’t need to stabilize her cultivation at all. The pale blue Golden Core in her Dantian kept rotating, absorbing Spiritual Energy and resonating with the Water Spirit Pearl.

The father and son eventually stopped worrying as well; Heavenly Tribulations also pick their targets.

Tan Shaoting strode quickly over. Now there were deep pits all around his wife—these were blasted out by lightning. Only the tiny patch beneath her feet still stood intact.

Tan Shaoting hugged his wife. "Yuanyuan."

"I succeeded."

"Yes, my wife succeeded."

The couple flew back to the shore. Qi Hong came over. "Mom, that was a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"What else would it be?"

"It was way too easy."

"It was alright." Su Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Tan Shaoting wrapped an arm around his wife’s waist. "Yuanyuan, what was going on with the last bolt?"

"Bai Fengjiao—she was still a Divinity Transformation Cultivator."

"Mm. Get some recovery in; I’m also planning to form my Nascent Soul here."

"Alright, give me two hours and I’ll be fine."

Qi Hong looked at his parents and found it really quite interesting; his mom was simply the Heavenly Dao’s favored child.

Outside the Thunder Pool, many cultivators had already gathered. With such commotion, plus the strange phenomenon just now—actually a pattern no one could understand—yet it gave people the feeling that they all wanted to submit.

"What on earth is going on! Who exactly is inside the Thunder Pool? Forming a Core here? They truly have guts!"
