The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 497 Another Breakthrough, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning Descends Again

But after the initial excitement, the atmosphere inside the hall gradually became heavy.

Daoist Xingchen frowned: "Killing Xuanming is certainly gratifying, but we have also committed a terrible disaster!"

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion has a history of ten thousand years, its influence spreading throughout the Tianyuan Continent. It has many Nascent Soul stage ancestors; they will never let this go unpunished!

Xiao Changkong also suppressed his smile. "Master is right. Wanbaoge is no pushover. Xuanming is their core protector. If we don't avenge this, how can they save face?"

"It won't be long before the Wanbaoge army marches into the Northwest Region and crushes our Star Palace!"

Ye Xinghe, Lu Haoran, and Xiao Qiushui also calmed down and realized the seriousness of the situation.

Chen Tianba's smile froze.

Just then, Shen Rugo burst into laughter, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Master, fellow disciples, it's just a Wanbao Pavilion, what's there to fear!"

"Why should I be afraid?"

Chen Tianba's eyes widened. "Junior Sister, that's the Wanbao Pavilion! The top merchant guild in the Tianyuan Continent, with tons of Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Shen Rugo said calmly, "So what if they're strong? We'll meet force with force and water with water!"

If Wanbaoge knows what's good for them, then so be it. But if they don't and dare to cause trouble at the Star Palace, we'll kill a few more Nascent Soul cultivators and make them bleed profusely!

Xiao Qiushui slapped her thigh, "Junior Sister is right! We'll meet force with force! Our Star Palace isn't a pushover! We'll fight them to the death!"

Chen Tianba also realized what was happening, "That's right! Let's go for it! With our junior sister here, what are we afraid of?"

The Star Daoist nodded: "Well said! My Star Palace has been passed down for countless years, and we have never been afraid of anyone."

However, the most urgent task is to increase our strength. With sufficient strength, what can the Wanbaoge do even if they come?

"Master is right! Now is not the time to be conflicted; improving our cultivation as quickly as possible is the only way forward!"

Shen Rugo nodded repeatedly.

"Alright! Let's go back and go into seclusion now!"

Xiao Changkong waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Yes! We'll go cultivate now and not leave seclusion until we break through our current realm!"

Chen Tianba, Xiao Qiushui, and the other three also shouted and leaped away.

"Master and Uncle-Master, you should all leave now. I'm going into seclusion now; I'm about to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!"

After watching her five senior brothers leave, Shen Rugo immediately started to send them away.

"Are you really going to break through again, this time to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?"

Xingchen Daoist and Qinghe Daoist still looked incredulous, after all, Shen Rugo had only broken through to the Golden Core stage a few months ago.

"I need to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. There's less than a year left. If I don't break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm soon, how can I achieve the Nascent Soul stage before the Grand Competition?"

Shen Rugo waved her hand at the two of them, as if shooing away flies.

"Are you planning to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before the grand competition?"

Although the two had already heard Shen Rugo say this, and Shen Rugo had even asked Xiao Changkong and the other four to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before the competition, they only thought that Shen Rugo was encouraging them and that it wasn't true.

"When have I ever broken a promise?"

Alright, you should all leave now and not disturb my cultivation!

Shen Rugo rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay, okay! Let's go now!"

After exchanging a few words, the two figures quickly disappeared.

Shen Rugo is only at the early stage of Golden Core, yet her methods are already so heaven-defying. If she were to reach the Nascent Soul stage, even mid-to-late stage Nascent Soul cultivators would be no match for her. Even the Lingtian Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would not be a threat to her.

As soon as she stepped into the cave, Shen Rugo sat cross-legged on the futon, adjusting herself to her best condition.

At this moment, the eighteen golden cores within his dantian had become incredibly solid, only one step away from the mid-stage of the golden core realm.

Time passes little by little.

One day, two days, three days...

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past five days, Shen Rugo has devoted herself to cultivation. Her eighteen golden cores have expanded to their maximum size, shimmering with dazzling light, and a powerful aura is gathering strength within her body.

"It's now!"

With a low shout, Shen Rugo suddenly mobilized all the spiritual power within her dantian and fiercely attacked the Golden Core barrier.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from inside her body.

Then, a series of cracking sounds rang out, and the barriers on the eighteen golden pills were instantly broken through. The size of the golden pills increased again, and the spiritual power inside became even purer and more powerful.

Mid-stage Golden Core!

Become!

Just then, the sky changed color.

The once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning and thunder. A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, locking onto Shen Rugo's cave.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Moreover, this tribulation was even more terrifying than when she broke through to the early stage of the Golden Core realm!

Within the clouds, streaks of purple lightning surged and roamed like giant dragons, radiating an aura of world-destroying destruction.

Purple Sky Divine Thunder!

It's Purple Heaven Divine Thunder again!

Although Shen Rugo's Jade Maiden Peak is located in the back mountain and is protected by an array, this terrifying aura still permeates all the peaks of the Star Palace.

The disciples of the Star Palace all felt this terrifying pressure, and their expressions changed drastically as they all looked towards the back mountain.

"Look! A heavenly tribulation! It's in the direction of Junior Sister Shen Rugo's cave!"

"My God! What kind of heavenly tribulation is this? It's purple lightning! What a terrifying aura!"

"Junior Sister has broken through? How long has it been? She's broken through again?"

The commotion was so great that Xiao Changkong and his group of five were also awakened from their seclusion. They rushed out of their cave and stared wide-eyed at the terrifying heavenly tribulation above Jade Maiden Peak.

Chen Tianba exclaimed, "Holy crap! Purple Heaven Divine Lightning! It's Purple Heaven Divine Lightning again! Junior Sister has broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm! This cultivation speed is just too heaven-defying!"

Xiao Changkong also gasped, his eyes filled with horror: "The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is the best of the heavenly tribulations, with boundless power. Ordinary cultivators, let alone resist it, would be annihilated even if they were touched by it! Junior Sister actually triggered the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning twice in a row. This talent is simply rare throughout the ages!"

The five of them immediately rushed towards Jade Maiden Peak.

Daoist Xingchen also rushed over. Looking at the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning in the sky, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Good! Good! Good! This little ancestor has indeed broken through his realm again, and has indeed triggered the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning once more!"

Just as everyone was in shock, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning descended from the sky.

The first lightning dragon was a hundred feet long, carrying an aura of world destruction, and slashed fiercely towards Shen Rugo's cave.

Before the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning could even descend upon the cave, Shen Rugo's figure had already rushed out, shouting to the sky, "Damn you, heavens! I'm back again! Come and strike me down, the harder the better!"

The terrifying power of lightning quickly engulfed her slender body.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Rugo's body became like a vortex, rapidly absorbing and devouring all the lightning, with almost all of it surging into her body.

"Divine Thunder Tempering!"

"Junior Sister is going to use the divine lightning of the heavenly tribulation to temper her body and refine her golden core again!"

Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui immediately shouted.
