Chapter 1049: Multiple Factions Investigate

The Royal Family will soon no longer be constrained by the Mu Family, Yin Family, Wanqi Family, and those old fossils in the Cabinet.

But the presence of the Xuanji Sect and the Darwin Family made him cautious.

He hoped they wouldn’t obstruct his major plans.

Otherwise...

Han Yong’an’s face was malicious, with a fierce intent to kill in his eyes.

Thinking of the upcoming Cultivator Conference, his expression turned relaxed.

...

Yuhua Mountain.

Yu Shuo was forced to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation, catching everyone off guard.

At this point, everyone gathered to protect him.

Fortunately, Gu Jin was present at this time.

Yu Shuo’s previous cultivation was more than half exhausted, but his foundation was strong, making the process of undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation much easier and smoother compared to Jiang Hanyi.

Gu Jin aided him in resisting a few lightning tribulations in the early stages, but Yu Shuo handled the later ones himself.

When the final bolt of lightning struck Yu Shuo, he felt a transcendence in mind and body.

At the moment of forming his Golden Core, like Jiang Hanyi, he was utterly shocked.

The Golden Core Stage cultivation was incredibly powerful, giving him a sense of superiority as if everything in the world was beneath his feet, experiencing intense inner turmoil.

This feeling was too exhilarating!

So exhilarating that he was about to freaking lose his mind!

The excitement and thrill on Yu Shuo’s face, along with the powerful aura of his cultivation, were clearly visible to Gu Jin and the others.

With both disciples undergoing tribulations to break through to the Golden Core cultivation, Gu Jin was also very happy.

She touched the Phoenix-patterned jade ring on her right-hand index finger, took out two bottles of elixir from her space, opened one bottle, and poured out two pills emitting a faint golden glow.

Holding them in front of Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi, she said, "These are Solid Pills, which can stabilize your Golden Core cultivation. Take them."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Both took the pills and directly swallowed them.

Afterwards, Gu Jin distributed the other bottle of elixirs to Wanqi Jingyi, Wanqi Heyang, Han Xiyuan, and Miao Jiayi, which were pills to quickly enhance their cultivation.

Jiang Hanyi and Yu Shuo underwent tribulations one after the other, and everyone expended quite a bit of effort, depleting much of their cultivation.

"Thank you, Master—"

Without holding back, they directly took the pills.

They all knew the spirit pills from Gu Jin’s hands were top-notch, incomparable to the sugary scraps circulating outside.

After consuming the pills, their Dantians’ spiritual power quickly returned, even surpassing the previous level.

The lightning tribulations faded, and Yuhua Mountain soon returned to its calm state, though the mountain peak was left in ruins, as if it had been hit by a storm.

As dawn gradually broke, the earth shimmered dimly, seemingly shrouded in a silver-grey veil.

The world was silent, suddenly pierced by a few bird calls, breaking the mountain’s tranquility.

Gu Jin stood atop Yuhua Mountain, gazing into the distance as the eastern sky lightened with the approaching dawn.

After this whole night of turmoil, her face showed hints of fatigue.

"It’s getting late; let’s head back."

She started to long for the warm bed at home, the comfort of the indoor constant temperature.

Yuhua Mountain’s peak was too cold; she tightened the windbreaker around her body.

The group soon descended the mountain. At the base of Yuhua Mountain, besides the Wanqi Family’s cultivators guarding, there were many other forces secretly watching.

Seeing Gu Jin and the others heading down, confirming their identities, these observers silently retreated.

Gu Jin noticed the clandestine surveillance but nonchalantly boarded the vehicle she came in, leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes to rest, ignoring the probing gazes outside.

The group took the vehicle they came with to return.

That night, many could not sleep.

Early in the morning, multiple forces received precise news.

The person who underwent the tribulation at Yuhua Mountain last night was from the Xuanji Sect.
