Chapter 1025: All Beings Bow Beneath My Feet

The vast space now resembles a wasteland.

Thick dust fills the air, temporarily obscuring Gu Jin’s vision of her surroundings.

After a while, the dust in the air gradually dissipates.

Gu Jin, dressed in comfortable home attire, stands firmly within the space.

Her body is free from dust, spotless and clean.

She stands there with a powerful aura, exuding dominance and very conspicuous.

The golden glow in her eyes gently fades, and Gu Jin’s cold and severe expression softens.

Feeling the Golden Core within her Dantian, alongside the potent power from the middle and late stages of the Golden Core, a joyous smile graces her lips.

Repressing her external aura, Gu Jin’s mood returns to calmness.

Having achieved a breakthrough in Golden Core Cultivation, Gu Jin’s aura is more reserved than ever, making it unfathomable and elusive.

If you were to ask Gu Jin what it feels like to break through to the Golden Core Stage Cultivation.

Her current feeling is like everything in the world bows under her feet.

Looking into the distant dense forest, everything there vividly appears within her mental consciousness.

The abilities of Golden Core Cultivation are simply exhilarating!

The injuries on Gu Jin’s shoulder have healed completely following the breakthrough, she slowly stretches out her arms, relaxes her body, and enjoys the spiritual energy surrounding her.

She takes a deep breath comfortably, the curve of her lips growing ever more pronounced.

No one knows that Gu Jin silently broke through to Golden Core Cultivation.

And she’s at the middle and latter stages of Golden Core Cultivation, now taking large strides towards Nascent Soul Cultivation.

Such cultivation speed, if it were to spread to others, would undoubtedly be earth-shattering.

She would become the object of everyone’s envy and jealousy, and also a subject of study for those sinister individuals eyeing her secretly.

Breaking through to Golden Core at twenty-two is an unparalleled feat.

Records don’t exist of predecessors with Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivation achieving this.

Even centuries ago, when spiritual energy was abundant on the continent, no one was as young and talented as her to break through to Golden Core, let alone in times when spiritual energy is scarce.

Gu Jin understands the kind of trouble that would arise if others were to learn of her current cultivation.

Despite breaking through to Golden Core Cultivation, she continues to enjoy life’s pleasures just as always.

Only during sleep does she enter the space to cultivate.

Thinking of the upcoming tournament in a month with the Hidden Market’s Golden Core cultivators, she can’t help but feel anticipatory.

Today.

Gu Jin, cradling a fruit platter, is nestled on a cozy couch in the living room watching television, when she receives a call from her father, Gu Dehao.

He calls to inform her that he’s going on a long journey and suggests they have a meal together tomorrow.

Gu Jin tosses a strawberry into her mouth and asks, "Sure, where shall we eat?"

"Saint No Hotel, do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll have someone order in advance."

Gu Dehao cares for this non-biological daughter deeply, down to his bones.

Saint No Hotel’s menu changes daily, but if reserved, dishes can be ordered in advance, and chefs will prepare them the day of.

Gu Jin lists a few dishes and casually asks, "Where are you going for this trip?"

Last year’s Kunlun trip cast a significant shadow over Gu Jin.

Now, with Gu Dehao heading off for his assignment, she makes sure to inquire about the location and the level of danger during the task.

Gu Dehao doesn’t hide it from her: "Short Country."

Before returning to Italy, An Mingji had thoroughly investigated the Short Country’s forces engaged in transactions with Kunlun and Hong Kong merchants, reviewing the information over and over.

These past months, his health has recovered, and the brothers beneath him have been eager for revenge for a long time.

Gu Dehao isn’t a man of foolhardiness, having devised a meticulous strategic plan, always prepared to take down the lair of the Short Country’s powers.
