After discussing cultivation salaries for Divine Generals, Yang Zhenshan contemplates a method to preserve past life memories. Meanwhile, a massive spiritual energy vortex appears above the Longevity Hall, signaling Yu Qingyi's imminent Core Formation. To Yang Zhenshan's surprise, she is using the Evergreen Pill instead of the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, which he realizes is highly beneficial for her Wood Attribute cultivation and compatibility. Yu Qingyi's Core Formation progresses rapidly, and after a brief period of tribulation, she successfully forms her Golden Core.

After the Spiritual Energy Vortex comes the Thunder Tribulation.

Watching the Thunder Dragons fall from the tribulation clouds, Yang Zhenshan’s expression remained calm and unruffled.

The Golden Core Thunder Tribulation is a gift from the Heavenly Dao, as well as the operating rule of the Heavenly Dao. The reason why the Heavenly Dao has such an operating rule is actually quite simple: Spiritual Energy gathers, transforms into clouds, clouds roll and thunder moves, thus creating the Thunder Tribulation.

Simply put, it is a natural reaction triggered by the gathering of Spiritual Energy during the Core Formation process.

Is it possible to successfully form the core without the Thunder Tribulation?

The answer is yes.

If there is no Thunder Tribulation, the core can still be successfully formed; it’s just that it would be a Fake Pill.

Just like Yun Xiao, he did not undergo the tribulation, so he did not comprehend the Taoist Divine Power when forming his core.

The reason why Thunder Tribulation is considered a gift from the Heavenly Dao is that those undergoing the tribulation gain many benefits during the process. The greatest benefit is that when the Thunder Tribulation descends, it is also when the Dao manifests, allowing those undergoing the tribulation to enter a state of epiphany.

Yang Zhenshan gazed at the tribulation clouds in the sky, continuously analyzing the principles of the formation of Thunder Tribulation and the Taoist intent it carried.

Every individual undergoing the tribulation comprehends different Taoist Divine Powers, meaning every tribulation thunder they face is different.

The reason for this is the different attributes of the individuals undergoing the tribulation.

If the individual undergoing the tribulation leans towards the Wood Attribute, the Spiritual Energy they attract will lean towards the Wood Attribute as well, and the tribulation clouds formed from the gathered Spiritual Energy will lean towards the Wood Attribute, resulting in the Thunder Tribulation also leaning towards the Wood Attribute.

Thunder Dragons descend, thunderous might overwhelming.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes reflected the dazzling lightning.

Suddenly, he seemed to have some enlightenment.

Thunder Tribulation, Tribulation Thunder, Wood Divine Thunder!

He hadn’t comprehended Thunder Attribute Taoist intent for quite some time, not even the Qinghua Thunder Skill, which he merely maintained through routine cultivation and wouldn’t focus on cultivating deeply.

Thus, over the years, he hadn’t made significant progress in Thunder Attribute Taoist intent.

However, observing and analyzing the Thunder Tribulation today did give him many different insights.

These insights, which might be considered a rare epiphany for others, were just a momentary excitement and reflection for Yang Zhenshan.

He is now at the Half-step Enlightenment stage, so even if he comprehends Thunder Attribute Taoist intent again, it doesn’t have great significance for him.

Of course, being able to comprehend an additional Taoist intent is still beneficial, as every piece of Taoist intent is a part of one’s foundation.

A few days later, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and a faint fragrance wafted from inside the Longevity Hall.

Yang Zhenshan took a deep breath and stepped into the Longevity Hall, following the long corridor to arrive in front of the quiet room’s wooden door.

At this moment, the wooden door of the quiet room opened from the inside, revealing a familiar charming face.

"Husband!" Yu Qingyi’s smile was radiant, her bright eyes filled with joy.

"My Lady!" Yang Zhenshan grinned broadly, with his gaze solely focused on Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi at this moment was no different from before, but Yang Zhenshan could sense a feeling of ease and casualness from her.

Yu Qingyi used to be relaxed and casual in front of him, but still carried a well-hidden sense of unease and concern beneath her casual demeanor.

He understood where this unease and concern came from.

The gap in cultivation created a barrier between them.

Although Yang Zhenshan always tried his best to reassure her, this barrier had never disappeared.

Today, that barrier finally vanished.

Because Yu Qingyi successfully formed her core, embarked on the Golden Core Path, and finally stood on the same level with Yang Zhenshan again.

Yang Zhenshan pulled her into his arms without saying a word, simply inhaling the fragrance emanating from her.

Yu Qingyi nestled in his broad chest.

"I didn’t use the Nine Tripod Divine Pill!"

"I know!"

"You don’t blame me?"

"Why would I blame you? As long as you succeed, nothing else matters!"

"Alright, this Nine Tripod Divine Pill can be saved for Ming Zhao!"

Yu Qingyi still had personal intentions, after all, Ming Zhao was her biological son.

Yang Zhenshan laughed lightly, "Better give it to Ming Cheng first. I still have materials for refining two Nine Tripod Divine Pills!"

He didn’t mind Yu Qingyi’s personal intentions, and he had his own.

Ming Zhao was their biological son. Though Yang Zhenshan hadn’t paid extra attention to Yang Mingzhao over the years, a biological son is always closer than a non-biological one.

But to be fair, he had to give it to Yang Mingcheng first.

Not only because Yang Mingcheng is the Yang family’s eldest son, but also because Yang Mingcheng has the deepest cultivation.

Even though Yang Mingzhao is also a Divine Soul Realm Martial Artist, he is only two hundred years old now, still having nearly three hundred years of lifespan, so there’s no urgency for the core formation.

Yu Qingyi nodded in his embrace, "Then you’ll make an Evergreen Pill for him too!"

"Don’t worry, they’ll all have it!" Yang Zhenshan said generously.

The couple whispered sweetly, and the next day Yang Zhenshan hosted a grand celebration banquet in the Longevity Hall.

Yu Qingyi’s core formation was a significant event for the entire White Jade City.

Not only did it signify that the female leader Yu Qingyi embarked on the Golden Core Path, but it also indicated that within the White Jade City, Martial Artists could become Golden Core Strongmen.

Currently, there are more than twenty Divine Soul Realm Martial Artists in White Jade City, including Ding Qiu, Yang Mingcheng, Yang Minghao, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Chengze, Yang Mingwu, Lin Zhan, Wu Zheng, Wu Zhan, Yang Mingzhen, Yang Yunxue, Wang Yunqiao, and so on.

However, this also left Yang Zhenshan facing a difficult decision.

Whether the Evergreen Pill or the Nine Tripod Divine Pill.

Although Yang Zhenshan could refine them, he couldn’t supply them on a large scale.
