Successful Breakthrough!

Ling Tian watched all this silently, looking for a few seconds at the 60-year-old old man before returning his gaze to Xuan Li. The voice and strength that had suddenly appeared and suppressed this old man who had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation base did not surprise him. 

If Wen Woo, the 60 year old man tried to do something again to Xuan Li, Ling Tian would take care of it. But since the other spiritual force of this place intervened, then he did not move. But his eyes were still on Xuan Li, he would not let anything bad happen to the little disciple of one of his beloved girls. 

Besides, Xuan Li, who was in a pressure-filled moment, had to rely on herself to move forward. She only needed a little pressure to be able to break through and form her own Golden Core, which was thanks to Wen Woo's arrival and attack. And although Ling Tian had told her that he would protect her earlier, Ling Tian would avoid intervening too much; greenhouse flowers are not the best. 

If Xuan Li could break through and make progress in this environment, it would be very beneficial to her. Everyone thinks that trying to break through in this place where there is coercion towards one will be counterproductive and would court death, but Ling Tian knew more than anyone else that this kind of place was a blessing and a wonder, much more so for cultivators with common or inferior talents. They could increase their strength a little more, even managing to touch the heels of true geniuses in the future if they put in double the effort. 

There were several more cultivators who surprisingly let out some small auras that meant their cultivations wanted to break through, but unlike Xuan Li, they all suppressed their cultivation bases, not wanting to break through at this place and time. They felt that it was not worth breaking through in this environment. Therefore, they could not help but watch Xuan Li as they sensed her powerful aura and realized that she intended to break through in this place and time. 

The sparse aura around Xuan Li gradually began to flow a little faster, with the spirit Chi in the surroundings beginning to head towards her. Xuan Li closed her eyes and concentrated on operating her own cultivation technique, trying to form her own core within herself. 

'A little advice I give you, is that you can use the coercion of formation to try to form your own golden core. If you manage to direct the pressure inward, it will be easier for you to form your core, and even build a powerful one. Remember, your foundation as well as your core is the fundamental basis for you to reach a higher level of cultivation without so much trouble...'

As Xuan Li was trying to concentrate and was about to start trying to form her own core, Ling Tian's voice came once again, startling her as he somewhat understood her current fear. 

The coercion of the place would clearly be the main obstacle to break through, but once she understood Ling Tian's words, Xuan Li seemed to realize something and finally focused completely. A thankfulness towards Ling Tian filled her heart. 

* Fwoosh! * 

Suddenly, the coercion several meters away near Xuan Li began to flow in her direction, attracting as much pressure as possible while forming her core! 

This of course shocked the others on the spot, with those closest feeling the coercion diminish slightly as it flowed towards this girl! 

"What is she doing? Is she crazy? How can she even think of attracting pressure at this moment when she's breaking through? Doesn't she know that she needs to concentrate fully and be at her best, with no obstacles or outside forces that might interfere with her advancement?"

"She will cripple her meridians! She is crazy! She doesn't know what she's doing!" 

"I would never make such a brazen move! Not even if it were the only option! I would only be courting death!" 

Whispers and exclamations filled the place, with most of them staring in horror and lamentation at Xuan Li. 

"Big sister..." 

Lang Qingzu couldn't help but clench her small fists, looking worriedly at Xuan Li as she watched her break through at this moment. If Xuan Li successfully broke through, she would form her core and officially be a Golden Core stage cultivator, but if she failed, she would cripple her meridians and worse, she might die. 

The 16 year old boy a few meters away from Lang Qingzu glared at Xuan Li, "I can't believe she wants to break through in this place. She will be aware that if she succeeds she will gain more amazing strength unlike breaking through calmly?" His eyes full of shock watched Xuan Li for a long time, before looking at Lang Qingzu and finally looking at Ling Tian in the distance. 

The three figures in the sky looked at Xuan Li with different expressions. But none of them dared to take action; after all, there was a powerful powerhouse in place that was protecting these cultivators, and although it was not at its peak, it was not something they could easily deal with. 

Time passed quickly, but no one was disturbed and even some sound, as if there was an unspoken understanding not to disturb this girl; it was as if everyone was curious if this little girl could really succeed or if she would fail due to being in this place. Moreover, there was an extremely terrifying potency that was protecting her, so they couldn't do anything bad to her. 

Energy began to swirl around Xuan Li, even with the coercion around her gradually increasing. However, the aura that began to emanate from her was becoming stronger and stronger and more powerful! 

Inside Xuan Li's body, a small, tiny golden point soon began to form, which slowly attracted every trace of energy, from the spirit Chi outside as well as Xuan Li's own cell energy. 

Xuan Li's pulsating and briefly undulating aura began to increase, becoming with greater aura and firmness gradually. The aura emanating from her had clearly far surpassed the weak aura she radiated before she wanted to break! 

"She's succeeding?!" 

"She's succeeding!" 

"Impossible!" 

* Boom! * 

After an indeterminate long time when commotion had filled the place, a powerful aura finally burst out from Xuan Li, spreading several kilometers in an instant! 

A faint golden-colored glow that left a trace in the air as the aura expanded was noticed by everyone before disappearing. 

Breakthrough to the Golden Core realm successful! 

This phenomenon had indicated that Xuan Li had successfully formed his Golden Core! 

An official Golden Core status cultivator! 

"She did it..." 

"She seriously managed to break through this place and form her own Golden Core? I can't believe it!" 

"Well believe it! I'm watching it and I still think it's a dream! This girl clearly must be a true genius! Even that aura she's giving off clearly isn't that of someone who just broke through, but of a true Golden Core state expert!" 

"Amazing..." 

The men and women in the surroundings looked at Xuan Li with different emotions, from astonishment and shock to envy and jealousy. The aura that this little girl of about 15 years old gave off was clearly not weak, and even this energy felt completely steady and undisturbed! 

Xuan Li took a deep breath, but she still did not open her eyes and instead, she continued to stabilize her cultivation. Xuan Li had realized that thanks to the coercion of the place, she would be able to stabilize her cultivation more easily and quickly! 

However, the next moment, Xuan Li opened her eyes and immediately her face blushed. She quickly stood up and quickly ran in Ling Tian's direction with astonishing speed, almost to the point that she seemed to be flying! She didn't even think twice about leaving the test site! 

Ling Tian laughed lightly in amusement before raising a barrier behind the huge rock he was on, creating a small secluded spot for Xuan Li when he saw that she wanted to clean some of her impurities from her body. The realms of Chi Gathering and Foundation Establishment expel impurities from the body and cleanse the body to establish a solid foundation with each small breakthrough; even the Golden Core can still expel remnants of somewhat difficult-to-remove impurities that were not removed earlier, but it depends a lot on the foundation one built and the cultivation techniques one practices. 

Behind the huge rock where Ling Tian was leaning, which looked like a small mountain, there were no people, but even so, Ling Tian raised an isolation barrier. He executed several simple and basic spells, creating a pool of water inside to allow Xuan Li to cleanse herself. 

Xuan Li noticed this and without hesitation she ran and entered the isolation barrier not before smiling gratefully but with much embarrassment at Ling Tian. 

The place was filled with silence, watching the isolation barrier behind the huge rock. Then they looked at Ling Tian in silence as their thoughts arose. 

No one dared to throw their spirit senses at the isolation barrier. Even those genuine expert powerhouses of the Golden Core state. The power that little girl gave off had a trace of threat to them! 

"My big sister made it!" 

However, Lang Qingzu's soft but happy voice was heard as she smiled full of excitement and happiness, looking towards where Xuan Li had disappeared a few moments ago and then at Ling Tian. The happiness that her big sister had broken through to the Golden Core stage was almost the same as if she herself had broken through. 

Lang Qingzu smiled brightly, not noticing that the boy beside him was also looking full of awe and admiration at where Xuan Li had broken through.
