Chapter 246 Leveraging On The Power of The Heavenly Tribulation
The Divine Firmament Flying Vessel landed in the Small World. The disciples alighted one by one.
The disciples in charge of guarding the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel carefully checked the remaining Spirit Stones in the vessel before locking the doors.
And so, the Primordial Battlefield Trial was officially concluded.
Over 100 Divine Firmament disciples had undergone this exciting and dangerous experiential journey. They all felt rather tired. But no one headed directly back to their rooms to rest.
This was because there was something exciting to see outside the Small World. Countless Heavenly Tribulation clouds had gathered about 100 miles from the Small World, among which pure and powerful lightning bolts flashed.
It was the Heavenly Tribulation. It was the lightning tribulation that one must face when a Heavenly Venerable at the Soul Formation stage would be transcending to become a Saint.
This meant that some powerful Heavenly Venerable was at this very moment undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation! Shen Tian spread his golden wings and morphed into a golden figure. He flew out of the Small World.
When he came near to the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, he saw the face of the Heavenly Venerable.
It was a lovely and graceful lady dressed in a long silver gauze dress. She stood proudly in mid-air, with Spirit Qi swirling beneath her feet, like a mystic fog.
Meanwhile, the lady’s already lithe body appeared even more alluring, enshrouded in the mystic fog. One could say that she had unparalleled beauty. Every smile and movement she made was filled with extreme charm, especially that surging wickedness. It was comparable to a certain black dragon.
Yes, the one who was about to undergo Heavenly Tribulation was Qin Yundi’s sexy mother–Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
“Mother is about to undergo a tribulation and become a Saint.” Qin Yundi looked very worried. “I hope nothing bad happens!”
It was well known that it was difficult to become a Saint.
To become one, a person had to undergo the Heavenly Tribulations and gain recognition from the heavens.
And the tribulations were extremely difficult. Less than 10% of the top Heavenly Venerables at the Soul Formation stage successfully became Saints.
Qin Yundi didn’t wish to see his mother meet with any mishap. But Shen Tian just smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt-Master Golden Lotus won’t come to any harm.”
Shen Tian was not sure how powerful Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was, but he had that Ye Qingcang fellow by his side!
It was easy for Ye Qingcang to judge if a Heavenly Venerable could successfully complete a Heavenly Tribulation to reach the Saint stage.
As a result, Ye Qingcang had shamelessly revealed a spoiler to him—there shouldn’t be any problem with this tribulation.
Instead, what made Shen Tian curious were the three Divine Firmament disciples sitting cross-legged beside Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
One of them was dressed in green and carrying an exquisite Chinese zither. He looked extremely gracious and approachable.
The other was dressed in a reddish-gold armor, with a Fire Dragon Spear resting across his knees. Behind him was an avatar featuring all sorts of divine beasts.
Yes, the two of them were the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, and Second Senior Brother, Zhang Yunting.
Meanwhile, the third person was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess, White Tiger Zhang Yunxi.
There was a very simple reason for their close presence beside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds. They were making use of the lightning tribulation to cultivate the mystic technique, Decalamity!
This was the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra’s final forbidden chapter. It was also the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s most secretive technique.
The elders of the sacred ground had discussed this several times, and in the end, they decided to make a one-time exception to let Fang Chang and the rest cultivate this secret technique.
Thus, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was not the only one today. Fang Chang and the rest were also seriously prepping.
After all, undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to transcend into the Saint stage was not a common occurrence in the Eastern Wilderness.
It must be pointed out that in the entire Eastern Wilderness, the number of Saints could be more or less counted on one hand. It was just too difficult to become one!
“Junior Brother, you guys are finally back!”
Zhang Yunxi was sitting cross-legged and exuding an exceptionally formidable aura, even more, powerful than Zhang Yunting’s. However, she immediately drew back half her aura upon seeing Shen Tian. She might be very powerful, but she was also very considerate. Shen Tian smiled as he flapped his golden wings. He landed in front of Zhang Yunxi and the rest.
Fang Chang’s injuries had already healed. His powers had even increased because of the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Already at the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, he was definitely one of the most powerful young prodigies in the Eastern Wilderness. Not many people were a match for him.
“Junior Brother, you guys are finally back.”
Fang Chang smiled and batted his lashes. “Junior Sister Yunzi missed you so much over the past month.” A golden bolt of lightning shot toward him from the side, making him jump and his hair stand on end.
“Was I wrong, Junior Sister!? I am just speaking on your behalf! You electrocuted me because of that?”
Fang Chang puffed out a mouthful of black smoke as tiny sparks ignited all over his body.
In the past, he had been wooing Zhang Yunxi for so long, but she hadn’t even given him a second glance.
Today, he was zapped by her… and with such intensity.
This Five Elements Divine Lightning was truly powerful!
Zhang Yunxi smiled at Shen Tian. “Junior Brother, you have indeed gained a lot from the battlefield trial. If I am not wrong, the wings on your back should be the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List!”
Shen Tian nodded. “Yes, I was lucky enough to have gained some stuff from the battlefield. But none that is worth mentioning. None at
all.”
Zhang Yunting felt like rolling his eyes. This Junior Brother was saying such infuriating words.
If the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List, was nothing worth mentioning—what else could be worth it?
It must be known that even to a formidable Saint-level cultivator, any extraordinary item in the top ten list would be considered an extremely precious treasure! Zhang Yunting said in exasperation, “Junior Brother, Aunt-Master Golden Lotus is undergoing a tribulation to become a Saint. It is the best opportunity for us to cultivate Decalamity. Since you possess the Mixed Divine Lightning, you better grab a good spot and prepare to cultivate too!”
Amongst the most talented prodigies in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Yunting was recognized as the top. It was not only due to his I Lightning Spirit Constitution. It was mainly because Zhang Yunting was mature and serious. He handled things with stability and thoroughness that spoke of his potential for the management side of being a Sacred Leader.
Most elders from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground acknowledged this.
If not for the Son of Providence’s appearance, Shen Tian, the future Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would probably not be Fang Chang. It would have been Zhang Yunting.
After all, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would fall into chaos if Fang Chang became the Sacred Leader.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Yunting, for your advice.”
Shen Tian smiled and chose a spot outside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds. He sat down cross-legged, and his Longyuan Divine Armor appeared on his body.
Zhang Yunxi’s eyes sparkled. She subtly shifted her position so that she was nearer to Shen Tian.
The best spot to cultivate Decalamity was just outside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
The lightning tribulations in this area would not be too strong, with just a residual power. The Heavenly Tribulation also wouldn’t think that you were disrupting the person undergoing the actual tribulation.
If you charged straight into the center of the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, you might be struck by extremely powerful lightning. And if the Heavenly Tribulation locked onto your presence, it would be nearly impossible to escape.
Not long after Shen Tian, Zhang Yunxi, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunting settled down, the Heavenly Tribulation cloud above Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ head grew even more intense.
The clouds churned, signaling that the tribulation… had started!
