Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 330: Chapter 32: Successfully Passing the Tribulation, Advancing to Golden Core

After the sixth tribulation lightning struck, Lin Jing’s injuries had become more severe than before.

Several of the wounds he sustained this time had already cut deep to the bone.

It was not until then that Lin Jing reached into his Storage Bag and took out a Pure Body Restoration Pill, swallowing it.

No sooner had the Pure Body Restoration Pill entered his mouth than it dissolved into a pure medicinal strength that flowed into his stomach.

Afterward, that concentrated medicinal strength began to disperse throughout his body.

It was at this moment that Lin Jing felt a wave of heat all over his body, and a tingling and somewhat itchy sensation came from the wounds.

Clearly, the Pure Body Restoration Pill had started to take effect.

Apart from the Rejuvenation Elixir, there were still numerous blue lightning arcs chaotically coursing through his body, including within the wounds.

Lin Jing’s injuries had just begun to heal somewhat when the lightning arcs at the wounds flashed past, worsening the healing wounds even further.

Yet even so, Lin Jing still did not stop.

He released the Heavenly Tribulation Power he had absorbed to temper his body.

Should one observe closely, they could discover…

Although the lightning arcs exacerbated Lin Jing’s injuries, they seemingly activated the potential in his body. Instead of slowing down, the rate of injury recovery had become even faster after repeated purifications by the lightning arcs.

The layer of dark light that cloaked Lin Jing’s body began to change in color, appearing to have added some yellow compared to before.

And at this time…

Lin Jing noticed that the two cultivators who had been observing him from a distance had left the area.

Seeing this, Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief.

As long as there was no interference, Lin Jing had at least a ninety percent chance of overcoming this Tribulation.

Perhaps even Lin Jing himself did not expect that it was not that no one wanted to interfere, but rather, they dared not.

……

Afterward, Lin Jing put away his thoughts and stopped paying attention to the two who had left.

Instead, he looked up at the sky, ready for the next strike of tribulation lightning.

With only the last three bolts of tribulation lightning remaining, Lin Jing would be able to overcome this Heavenly Tribulation.

However, these last three bolts of tribulation lightning seemed to be not so easy to deal with.

As it happened, Lin Jing had been waiting for a long time, but the tribulation clouds still had not released any lightning; instead, they continued to brew ominously.

Accompanied by an ever-escalating oppressive and terrifying aura, the upcoming tribulation lightning would likely be exceedingly difficult to bear.

Moreover, in those tribulation clouds, in addition to the blue lightning arcs, a new kind of red lightning arc had appeared.

The aura transmitted by this red lightning arc was even more terrifying than that of the blue ones.

Lin Jing was no longer complacent by this point.

Instead, he once again took out a Rejuvenation Elixir, placed it in his mouth, and wrapped it in Spiritual Power, ready to swallow at a critical moment.

Then, he began to run the Immortal Five Elements Technique, consolidating the Spiritual Power within his body and covering his entire body to resist the forthcoming lightning attack.

Since Lin Jing had not prepared any other Defensive Magical Treasures for the Tribulation in advance, he had to rely on himself in this way.

Fortunately, Lin Jing’s body was robust enough, even stronger than the average Defensive Magical Treasure.

Therefore, even without pre-prepared Defensive Magical Treasures, Lin Jing could still rely on the strength of his body to survive this Heavenly Tribulation.

Just as Lin Jing’s recovery was nearly complete, the dark tribulation clouds in the sky started to stir once again.

“Booming thunder!”

A blue tribulation lightning bolt, mixed with a hint of red arcs, descended from the sky.

This bolt of tribulation lightning was twice as thick as the sixth one and engulfed Lin Jing completely as it struck down from above his head…

Three breaths later, the lightning dissipated.

Around Lin Jing, everything was scorched black, except for the spot where he sat. Even the ground around him had collapsed.

And Lin Jing, seated there, was also in a bad way; the recent strike had added many more wounds to his body.

Even his bones had broken in several places under the assault of the lightning.

Seizing the moment, Lin Jing quickly swallowed the Pure Body Restoration Pill in his mouth.

Not daring to delay, he hurriedly absorbed its medicinal strength for healing.

However, just then, the tribulation clouds in the sky became active again.

The thunderous noise within the tribulation clouds, which had been rumbling moments before, suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

In an instant, the entire world became eerily silent, without any sound.

Lin Jing had a bad feeling.

Then, he quickly recited in his mind,

“System, activate the enhancement possession feature.”

Lin Jing had not planned to use this feature just yet.

But seeing the posture of the tribulation lightning, it seemed that it was not going to be easy to endure.

After activating the enhancement possession, Lin Jing immediately felt his Divine Sense become incredibly sharp.

Even the speed at which he ran his Spiritual Power to repair his injuries had significantly increased.

However, at that moment, the sky suddenly flashed.

“Booming thunder!!!”

An even thicker column of tribulation lightning descended from the tribulation clouds.

This column of lightning was wholly blue, with the outermost layer being a dense red lightning arc, which was nearly forming a red electrified screen.

This eighth strike of tribulation lightning came too suddenly.

And it did not give Lin Jing much time to prepare.

Lin Jing, still unrecovered from his injuries, was forced to confront the eighth strike of tribulation lightning.

Just like before, the eighth lightning engulfed Lin Jing completely.

It wasn’t until after three breaths that the eighth lightning, having exhausted its accumulated Heavenly Tribulation Power, finally dissipated.

Only after the lightning had vanished did Lin Jing’s figure reappear.

At that moment, there was not a single unscathed spot on Lin Jing’s body.

Many areas revealed stark white bones, and even on his chest, shoulders, and back, there were large patches charred black.

Moreover, across Lin Jing’s body, those red lightning arcs continuously darted about.

Lin Jing looked in terrible shape, yet the corners of his mouth still curled up, revealing a bitter smile.

Lin Jing was aware that his condition was dire.

After the lightning had dissipated, he hastily took out a Pure Body Restoration Pill from his Storage Bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

He had to recover his injuries as much as possible before the final lightning strike descended.

After swallowing the Pure Body Restoration Pill, Lin Jing began to meditate intently, seeking to heal his wounds.

While Lin Jing was meditating, the red lightning arcs left cracks at the wounds they touched, from which blood oozed out.

However, under the repair of the Overlord Divine Physique and the Pure Body Restoration Pill, those wounds were visibly closing at a slow pace.

During this destructive and restorative process, minuscule, almost imperceptible golden specks began to emerge from within Lin Jing’s flesh.

And they assisted in healing the injuries.

Furthermore, the dark glow that had covered Lin Jing’s body was changing to gold at a visible speed.

Lin Jing, who was healing, naturally noticed this phenomenon.

Lin Jing understood that the emergence of the golden light indicated that his Overlord Divine Physique was about to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

Once the dark light on Lin Jing’s body completely turned to gold, he would be a Golden Core Stage Body Refinement Cultivator.

……

The black tribulation clouds in the sky were tumbling as violently as before.

The aura emenating from the clouds became even more terrifying, as if the sky were about to collapse, looming over Lin Jing’s head and sending shivers through his heart.

This final bolt of lightning was still brewing.

Within the churning clouds, white and blue flashes of lightning could no longer be seen, replaced entirely by the dreadfully red lightning.

And with the clouds’ increasingly violent motion, the red lightning appeared with increasing frequency.

“Rumble… Rumble…”

Continuous muffled sounds came from within the clouds.

As the atmosphere in the sky grew increasingly oppressive.

Lin Jing could no longer afford to continue healing his wounds.

By this time, his injuries had mostly recovered, and the charred flesh that had once covered his body had sloughed off, revealing new skin beneath.

Nevertheless, the final bolt of lightning arrived abruptly, without any warning.

Just as Lin Jing was about to take another Pure Body Restoration Pill from his Storage Bag as a precaution.

The clouds, which had been rumbling a moment before, suddenly released a column of red lightning, followed only then by a tremendous roar of thunder.

“Boom!”

By the time Lin Jing heard the sound, he had already been engulfed by the red pillar of lightning.

As the red lightning struck Lin Jing, his head reeled as if suddenly hit, dazing him momentarily.

However, fortunately, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was incredibly strong, and that was under the augmenting effects.

The daze was but a fleeting moment, and Lin Jing quickly recovered to normal.

Yet the red tribulation lightning was not as devastating upon impact as he had imagined.

Although it still inflicted considerable damage on Lin Jing, its destructive power was nowhere near that of the eighth lightning.

Lin Jing felt as if there was something different within the strike, aiding him in absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation Power.

Inside Lin Jing’s Dantian, the Dao foundation formed by innumerable Spiritual Power began to change.

The Spiritual Power, like a vortex, devoured all other Spiritual Power, and this devoured power started to transform slowly…

……

It was then that Lin Jing realized.

The final bolt of lightning was targeting the Soul Spirit; if the Soul Spirit were not steadfast, just one stroke of this lightning would be enough to annihilate both soul and body, resulting in death and the end of one’s Dao.

This last lightning lasted for a long nine breaths, even twice as long as the eighth lightning.

When the final bolt of lightning dissipated, the ground around Lin Jing showed no drastic change, still a charred crater, with the only untouched spot being where Lin Jing sat.

However, there was a significant transformation on Lin Jing’s body.

The most noticeable change was that the dark light which had shone over Lin Jing’s body had now turned completely golden.

Making Lin Jing appear as though he was enveloped in a golden radiance.

Furthermore, the wounds on Lin Jing’s body, after being refined by the last bolt of lightning, had vanished without a trace.

Only his tattered, bloodstained clothing bore witness to his previous dishevelment.

Apart from these changes, the most significant change was Lin Jing’s cultivation…

At this moment, Lin Jing had become a true Golden Core Immortal.
