"Miss, does he even have no idea that what he's gestating is the Taiji Golden Core?"
Qian Shan had also noticed the strangeness and asked in confusion. In his mind, Gu Qingfeng might not know he was achieving the Taiji Golden Core, nor understand the significance behind it. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Otherwise, how could he not be nervous or afraid?
"Even if he doesn't know he's gestating the Taiji Golden Core, he should at least be able to sense the great power Divine Senses watching covetously nearby, right? Even if he can't sense them, he should notice the heavenly omen anomalies, right? For anyone else, encountering such a situation, no matter how ignorant, would be impossible not to fear!"
He truly wasn't afraid.
He was truly casual and unrestrained.
He just drank wine while watching the heavenly omen anomalies, his leisurely expression making one think he was admiring a magnificent landscape. As he appreciated it, he even nodded from time to time, as if praising something.
After a long while, he finally glanced at the great power Divine Senses lurking around the heavenly omen anomalies. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile. He raised his head and took another sip of wine, chuckling, "Well, well, quite lively. Quite a few have come. Are you all here to watch the show? Or what are you here for?"
None of the Divine Senses lurking around the heavenly omen anomalies responded.
Seeing this, Su Hua felt that Gu Qingfeng's courage was simply too great, and he truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Each of these Divine Senses contained imposing murderous intent, capable of killing from afar as easily as turning over a hand. Yet this outrageously bold fellow not only showed no fear but even dared to mock them verbally.
"If you're here to watch the show, you might as well disperse. There's nothing much to see. If you're interested in my Golden Core, heh heh..." Gu Qingfeng chuckled lightly. "The Golden Core isn't fully gestated yet. Once it gestates later, whoever wants it, just say the word. I can give it to you."
Many of the great power Divine Senses stirred slightly, clearly not expecting Gu Qingfeng to say such a thing.
In the distance, Su Hua and Qian Shan exchanged a particularly shocked glance, wondering whether Gu Qingfeng was deliberately mocking them or genuinely intended to do so.
Could it be that he knew the Taiji Golden Core would bring him danger, so he never planned to keep it from the start?
Thinking carefully, this seemed truly possible.
Although the Taiji Golden Core was hailed as the Kingly Golden Core, one still had to survive the Great Dao tribulation. If one couldn't pass, there might even be life-threatening danger. Even if one passed, they would still face the seizure of thousands in the future.
But danger aside, the Taiji Golden Core was, after all, the Taiji Golden Core, possessing the qualification to bear the True Mandate. In other words, even with immense danger, it was worth risking everything for.
Only a fool would give up such a great opportunity to someone else.
As for whether Gu Qingfeng was mocking these great powers or genuinely intended to do so, Su Hua couldn't figure it out for the moment.
Just then, a deafening roar echoed.
The heavenly omen anomalies became even more frenzied, accompanied by rolling imposing might.
Instantly!
With a whoosh, a pure spring eye suddenly appeared in the sky obscured by dark clouds. The spring eye resembled an eye, appearing quite terrifying as it stirred the dark clouds to slowly rotate. Its momentum was vast and awe-inspiring, especially the rolling imposing might emanating from within the spring eye, which made the great power Divine Senses lurking around the heavenly omen anomalies wary, causing them to retreat rapidly.
Simultaneously, seeing this spring eye appear, Su Hua's expression below changed drastically, and she instinctively retreated.
She knew this spring eye was the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source, also called the Immortal Dao Tribulation Spring. That rolling imposing might was none other than Immortal Dao might.
Once the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source appeared, an Immortal Tribulation would inevitably descend.
Whoosh!
The Immortal Dao Tribulation Source condensed and manifested a milky-white radiance that enveloped Gu Qingfeng.
With the appearance of the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source, the Immortal Dao might grew increasingly powerful. Many great power Divine Senses retreated continuously, and Su Hua was no exception.
Whether it was Heavenly might or Immortal might, both were Great Dao imposing might, and moreover, might emanating from a Tribulation Source. Not to mention these great powers couldn't withstand it; even if they could, they wouldn't dare to resist it head-on.
Resisting Immortal might head-on was disrespectful to the Immortal Dao. The path of cultivation had three disasters, nine difficulties, and twelve tribulations. If one dared to disrespect the Immortal Dao, when one's own tribulation came, they could only wait for death.
Therefore, the only thing to do regarding Immortal Dao might was to yield, while also maintaining reverence in one's heart.
As Su Hua retreated, not daring to release her Divine Sense to probe, she could only steal glances. But what she didn't expect was that after being enveloped by the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source, Gu Qingfeng still acted as if nothing was wrong, standing amidst the clouds, taking occasional sips of wine.
Yield?
He did not.
Not only did he not yield, he even narrowed his eyes and stared directly at the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source, a smile still playing on his lips. His demeanor showed not a shred of reverence—it was outright great disrespect!
Contempt for the Immortal Dao! Desecration of the Immortal Dao!
Simply unforgivable!
Heavens above!
Ordinary people wouldn't dare show disrespect even when encountering an Immortal. But this fellow wasn't encountering an Immortal now—he was encountering the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source! And it had come specifically for his Taiji Golden Core. Even if you lacked confidence in overcoming the tribulation, you should at least show some reverence for the Immortal Dao, right?
With such an attitude of great disrespect, how could the Immortal Dao possibly let you pass the tribulation easily? By then, it wouldn't just erase your Taiji Golden Core—it would erase your life too!
If possible, Su Hua truly wanted to rush over, grab this fellow by the collar, and ask him whether he was an idiot or a fool!
Just as Su Hua was in disarray, suddenly, another Tribulation Source appeared in the sky. This time, it was the Spirit Dao Tribulation Source. After appearing, it similarly condensed and manifested a radiance that enveloped Gu Qingfeng. Immediately after, the Natural Dao Tribulation Source appeared successively, followed by the Human Dao Tribulation Source...
Boom!
Another vast Tribulation Source appeared out of thin air. Its powerful imposing might spread out, shaking people's hearts and causing their spirits to tremble. Many great power Divine Senses couldn't help but retreat because they could all sense this imposing might was Heavenly might, and the Tribulation Source that had appeared was also the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Source.
This scene could absolutely be called rare in the world.
Su Hua had seen the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Source and the Immortal Dao Tribulation Source, and had witnessed various Great Dao Tribulation Sources, but it was the first time she had seen the Tribulation Sources of five major Daos—Heavenly, Immortal, Human, Spirit, and Natural—appear simultaneously like today. This further demonstrated the importance of the Taiji Golden Core; otherwise, it couldn't possibly affect the fortunes of so many Great Daos.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng still did not yield. Whether it was the Immortal Dao, Spirit Dao, or Natural Dao, even when the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Source appeared, he showed no intention of yielding whatsoever. He still drank his wine, glancing at this Tribulation Source, looking at that Tribulation Source, his leisurely demeanor indescribably carefree.
This scene easily created an illusion—at least, Su Hua had one at this moment. She felt that the one achieving the Taiji Golden Core wasn't Gu Qingfeng, but herself and those great powers. She also felt that the one enveloped by the five major Daos wasn't Gu Qingfeng, but herself and those great powers.
Because, in Su Hua's eyes, compared to herself and those great powers, Gu Qingfeng seemed more like a spectator watching the show.
He showed no reverence for the Immortal Dao, let alone for the Spirit Dao, Human Dao, or Natural Dao. He even dared to show no reverence for the Heavenly Dao.
That was the Heavenly Dao!
Hailed as the leader of the Great Daos, even Immortals had to show reverence when encountering it.
Did he think he had lived too long?
Did he want to commit suicide?
Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he didn't need to go this far, did he?
