Chapter 68: Golden Dan (Seeking Recommendations and Votes for More)

Within the Panda Valley, the clouds of disaster gathered and the noise grew louder and louder.
The pandas gathered together, watching from a distance as Gu Changsheng approached.
Close to Gu Changsheng, the red panda with bushy eyebrows furrowed his brow.
"Why is this heavenly tribulation so big?"
Despite its vast knowledge and experience, it was the first time the little panda had seen such a powerful golden core tribulation.
On the top of Gu Changsheng's head, calamity clouds were gradually forming, with thunderbolts crisscrossing among them.
Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng was deeply asleep on his lounge chair, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Just sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, what a useless idiot!"
The red panda became furious and waved its paws, sending a blast of wind towards Gu Changsheng.
Nothing happened, Gu Changsheng still didn't wake up.
Sensing something was amiss, the red panda furrowed its brow, becoming serious.
With a gentle wave of its claw, a long stick made of green bamboo appeared out of nowhere.
Grasping the bamboo stick, the little panda Big Onion's energy swirled throughout its body as it fixedly stared at the looming dark clouds in the sky, ready to strike at any moment.
Not long after, the robbery cloud took complete shape, and a terrifying power of heaven and earth appeared in the valley.
The giant pandas watching the show on the side moved in unison.
They retreated in an orderly manner to the mouth of the valley.
In the valley, there was only a little panda holding bamboo stick and Gu Changsheng who was sleeping deeply.
A loud rumble came from the robbery cloud, and the first robbery thunderbolt was about to strike.
Just as Da Cong was about to make a move.
Gu Changsheng opened his eyes drowsily and stretched lazily.
Suddenly, his hairs stood on end and he vanished from the spot.
His lounge chair behind him was instantly shattered.
Gu Changsheng widened his eyes, somewhat unclear about what had happened.
Could it be that he had collected too many herbs in his dreams and cheated too many times? Did God think he was too wicked and used lightning to strike him?
"Big Brother, if you can dodge it, you'll be a Jindan cultivator if you persevere!"
The words of the little panda came through clearly.
I looked up at the thunderclouds rolling in the sky, and saw the second thunderbolt about to strike.
Gu Changsheng quickly took off his long robe and put it aside.
The incident of walking birds under the moon after the establishment of foundation robbery last time gave him some psychological shadow.
The first robbery thunder was avoided, and the robbery cloud seemed to be somewhat angered, surging crazily.
Next second, an extremely thick thunderbolt swiftly struck towards Gu Changsheng.
With no time to dodge, he was heavily hit and suffered immense pain.
What's even more terrifying is that the formed catastrophe clouds began to spread again and soon covered the entire valley.
顾长生面色凝重，他感受到了一股恐怖的天威。
和上次筑基时不一样，他从天威中感受到了浓浓的恶意。
正常的天劫，总会留下一丝生机，像是一场考验，通过考验的修士自然可以更进一步。
The heavenly tribulation that Gui Changsheng faced seemed more like a merciless obliteration.
It was as if he was being singled out by this world.
Was it because he was an outsider?
Gui Changsheng's mind was filled with countless thoughts as he tried to guess the answer.
At this moment, the third tribulation thunder struck, and Gu Changsheng used defensive magic to barely withstand it, but he was slightly embarrassed.
The fourth and fifth tribulation thunders followed one after another.
顾长生应对得很是勉强，体内灵气消耗了大半。
脸色难看到了极点，顾长生看向空中的劫云。
劫云毫无散去的迹象，正在酝酿下一道劫雷。
Gu Changsheng finally understood what irreparable heavenly punishment means.
At this moment, a green bamboo stick flew over his head, and the voice of Little Panda Dacong came.
"Daseng, hurry up and condense your Spiritual Sea into a Golden Dan. I'll help you out."
As expected, the sixth calamity thunder struck, and the bamboo stick blocked it for Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng seized the moment and sat cross-legged.
His consciousness sank into his lower abdomen, trying to condense his inner spiritual ocean.
After a while, a golden pill rose slowly from Gu Changsheng's lower abdomen, like a rising sun, from his spiritual sea.
Opening his eyes, he felt comfortable throughout his body, his mind clear, and couldn't help but let out a long roar.
Halfway through his roar, an uncommon-looking fruit flew into his mouth, choking back the rest of Gu Changsheng's courage.
"Roar roar roar, what's the use! You're not ready for anything, you little melon, daring to cross the Tribulation, hurry up and recover!"
The red panda scolded with a sound.
Gu Changsheng looked embarrassed and swallowed the fruit in one gulp, nodding repeatedly to show he understood.
The spiritual energy in the fruit exploded in his stomach, and Gu Changsheng adjusted his internal spiritual energy. In no time, he had recovered to his best condition.
Seeing that he had recovered almost completely, the little panda waved its paw and the bamboo stick flew back.
"Go and cross by yourself! I can't hit you and the thunderstorm won't dissipate."
As soon as the bamboo stick left Gu Changsheng's hand, the thunderstorm rushed over eagerly.
A few thunderbolts struck, and Gu Changsheng faced them head-on without any defense, enduring them.
Just as he thought this tribulation should have been stable, there was another change in the tribulation cloud.
A seemingly real and illusory beast shadow appeared in the clouds.
After a while, the shadow of the beast took shape completely.
Gu Changsheng was stunned.
A thunderbolt transformed into a fierce tiger and charged towards him from the clouds.
Without much time to think, Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth and fought back.
During the fight, Gu Changsheng realized that the tiger in front of him seemed to lack intelligence and was only relying on its fighting instinct to act. Gu Changsheng gradually gained the upper hand.

As the battle progressed, the thunder-formed tiger gradually became illusory, while Gu Changsheng's aura grew stronger and the golden pill in his body became more solid.
It seemed that the calamity clouds realized they could no longer harm Gu Changsheng and began to dissipate.

After being beaten back again by Gu Changsheng, the tiger turned his head and leaped toward Jieyun, apparently trying to retreat.
But it didn't move.
Gu Changsheng firmly grabbed the tiger's tail, not letting it go back.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
After a moment, the fierce tiger struggled hard, leaving behind its tail and jumping back into the robbing clouds.
The robbing clouds slowly dissipated, and the tiger tail in Gu Changsheng's hands also slowly disappeared.
Sunshine poured into the valley again.
Gu Changsheng picked up his clothes and walked into the bamboo house.
After cleaning himself with clear water, Gu Changsheng put on his coat and walked out.
The giant pandas also returned to the valley and congratulated Gu Changsheng.
"Well done, Da Sheng! Now you can go out and fight for borrowing things! By the way, what did you have for breakfast this morning?"
顾长生满脸黑线。
Shortly afterwards, the pandas finished their breakfast and left the Panda Valley, satisfied, to help Gu Changsheng find people.
The little panda, Dacung and Gu Changsheng stayed in the valley.
Dacong lay on his own recliner, swaying rhythmically, eyes closed, looking very content.
Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, feeling the difference of the Golden Core realm.
Out of the blue, the little panda asked, "Big Sheng, why did the heavenly calamity strike you?"
Sitting up straight, Big Onion looked at Gu Changsheng and continued, "It's just like a stepmother beating a child, very strange indeed."
