Capítulo 696: Chapter 695: 9 Big Fetus Breaths

The Golden Core is a product born of tribulation; it's well-known that in order to achieve the Golden Core, one must endure a kind of heavenly tribulation. Cultivators refer to this heavenly tribulation as the Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation, a kind of mandated ordeal. If you can overcome this ordeal, you can solidify the pill; if you fail, you die.
