245: Chapter 229 Golden Core Stage_1 245: Chapter 229 Golden Core Stage_1 Deep within a mountain forest in the countryside.

Lu Chuan was searching for a suitable location for his breakthrough.

Zhong Ling’er, like a sprightly fairy, hopped and skipped around, playing everywhere; she seemed to be largely unaffected by the previous events.

Watching the petite and adorable girl, Lu Chuan was infected by her optimism, and a smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

Actually, he was filled with a lot of guilt towards Zhong Ling’er.

She clearly disliked men, and yet they had been intimate.

Even though it was for survival, it must have hurt her young heart.

Before, Zhong Ling’er was always with Kishimoto Haruko, and Lu Chuan didn’t have the chance to apologize to her.

Now that there were only the two of them in this place, that feeling of guilt climbed back into his heart.

“Ling’er,” Lu Chuan suddenly spoke.

Zhong Ling’er turned her head and gave Lu Chuan a disdainful look, asking, “What do you want, stinky man?”

Lu Chuan looked at her seriously and said, “I’m sorry.”

Zhong Ling’er had thought that Lu Chuan was about to start an argument with her and had been ready to retort, but his apology caught her off guard.

She knew very well why Lu Chuan was apologizing, but still she pretended not to understand and lowered her head, saying, “Why are you apologizing to me?”

Lu Chuan sighed and said, “I know you hate men, and probably hate me even more after that night, right?”

“Although what happened was out of a desperate need to survive, deep inside I feel a profound sense of guilt.

I don’t even know how to make it up to you.

You can make any request of me, just as long as you can forgive me, I will agree to anything.”

When Zhong Ling’er heard this, she felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to tell Lu Chuan that she didn’t dislike him that much, but then she thought that by doing so, she would seem too easy-going, so she pretended to be angry, glared at Lu Chuan, and said, “Whatever request I make, you’ll agree to it?”

Lu Chuan nodded.

Zhong Ling’er said, “I want you to become a woman.

Are you willing?”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, and he replied with an embarrassed face, “Stop joking…”

Zhong Ling’er snorted coldly, “See, you’re not sincere at all.

Transforming into a woman is not that difficult.

You can’t even do this small thing, why should I forgive you!”

After speaking, she stomped away, continuing forward with a secret smile on her lips.

Lu Chuan, with a helpless look on his face, watched Zhong Ling’er’s retreating figure, feeling his guilt intensifying.

“This girl probably will never forgive me for the rest of her life.”

Before long, the two of them found a natural cave.

Lu Chuan said, “This place is suitable for the breakthrough.

Ling’er, just wait at the cave entrance.

There might be a lot of commotion when I’m breaking through, don’t stand too close and get hurt.”

Zhong Ling’er snorted, “Who wants to be near you anyway.”

Having said that, she ran off to play in the water by a stream outside the cave.

Lu Chuan smiled, stopped hesitating, and turned to enter the cave.

For safety, he set up wards around the cave to prevent it from collapsing due to the scattering of power during his breakthrough.

Then, he sat down cross-legged, tuning into the three dragon veins within his body, drawing power from them to begin his assault on the Golden Core Stage.

Zhong Ling’er, bored outside the cave, was idly drawing in the dirt with a stick.

Although the drawings were crooked and twisted, they captured the essence quite well.

Anyone who knew Lu Chuan would be able to recognize that Zhong Ling’er was drawing him.

She reached out and poked the dirt-drawn Lu Chuan’s cheek, “Stinky man, hmph!”

A day and a night passed.

The next morning.

In the cave, Lu Chuan was surrounded by a golden light that diffused all around, terrifying powers oscillated and hit the protective enchantments he had set up, almost breaking through them.

This process lasted for nearly an hour.

Afterward, the golden light around Lu Chuan began to converge, transforming into three divine dragon phantoms that coiled around him for a while before all diving into his Dantian.

Then, Lu Chuan opened his eyes, his aura surged, and terrifying powers spread out in all directions, causing the entire cave to start trembling.

His clothes couldn’t withstand the impact of these powers and were directly reduced to dust.

A long while later, peace returned to the cave.

Lu Chuan urgently peered into his Dantian and discovered a Golden Core the size of a Luminous Pearl slowly rotating within, ceaselessly absorbing and circulating the power entering the Dantian.

This Golden Core was Lu Chuan’s Birth Sign Golden Core.

Only with the condensation of the Birth Sign Golden Core could one officially step into the Golden Core Stage!

Lu Chuan’s face was filled with excitement.

Though one’s strength during the Foundation Establishment Stage was not weak, it was ultimately just the stage for laying the foundations on the path of cultivation, and one couldn’t unleash true Divine Skills.

Now that he saw the Birth Sign Golden Core within his body, Lu Chuan dared say he had truly embarked on the path to becoming a strong cultivator.

“But why is my Golden Core so big?

According to the memories from the inheritance, a normal Golden Core should only be the size of a peanut, yet mine is almost as large as a chicken egg.”

Lu Chuan looked at his own Birth Sign Golden Core with some confusion, feeling that the size of his Golden Core was somewhat beyond imagination.

However, what could be certain was that, the bigger the Birth Sign Golden Core, the more majestic the power it could condense.

Just by the size of the Golden Core alone, the power Lu Chuan could muster was likely five or six times stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.

Not to mention martial artists of the same realm, he could virtually squash them in an instant.

“This is probably the change brought about by the True Dragon Destiny.

I wonder how much I’m still lacking compared to the Great Elder.”

Although cultivators had natural advantages, the Martial Path had carved out its own way during the End of Sects and Magic Era, and it certainly should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Great Elder had reached the Profound Realm many years ago and surely had advanced to an extremely profound level.

Lu Chuan, who had just entered the Golden Core Stage, was probably no match for him yet.

After the condensation of the Golden Core, Lu Chuan’s cultivation would concentrate on refining the Golden Core.

With each breakthrough, the quality of the Golden Core would transform once.

The so-called 9th Cycle Golden Core, a turn for every layer of the heavens.

Once his Birth Sign Golden Core was refined into the 9th Cycle Golden Core, he could then attempt to consolidate the Nascent Soul and break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, feeling the majestic power contained within his Golden Core, which was the size of a Luminous Pearl.

He could draw upon the power to destroy mountains at any time.

“With this, there will be no one left in the Island Country who is my match.

If anyone dares to trouble me, I’ll just slap them to death!”

He observed the movements within his body.

Logically, after a major realm breakthrough, it was very likely that the dragon’s yang power would go berserk.

But since he had recently been intimate with Zhong Ling’er, the dragon’s yang power in his body should have stabilized; however, as it was unpredictable, caution was necessary.

“It seems like I’m okay now…”

Lu Chuan muttered to himself, but no sooner had he spoken these words than strands of dragon’s yang power rapidly emerged, surging through his meridians.

“Dammit, does it have to be like this?

I just said I was fine, and here you are popping up, are you kidding me?”

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth trying to suppress the dragon’s yang power, but after entering the Golden Core Stage, the dragon’s yang power seemed to have become even more vigorous.

He was instantly enveloped by carnal desires, with not even a moment to catch his breath.

His eyes turned bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead; all he could think of was to find a woman right away, yet in this cave of stone, how could there possibly be a woman?

At that moment, Zhong Ling’er cautiously entered the cave.

She had heard some noises and, worried that something had happened to Lu Chuan, ran inside.

“Lu Chuan, are you alright…”
