Chapter 231 The Hot Tribulation
Although he had managed to fool Daoist Wen Jing, he was now in danger. The Western Sect had already started developing intentions to kill the Sea God of the South Ocean. The background of the pure and innocent Sea God of the South Ocean was already unstable…
Fortunately, he had kept his true identity hidden.
From the looks of it, he had put in a lot of effort to separate the three identities of the Little Daoist Master of Ren School, the Sea God of the South Ocean, and the disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. It had not been a waste of effort.
Although there were no hidden dangers now, he had to consider the sudden events such as ‘Ao Yi’s Soul Getting Searched’, ‘Ao Yi’s mind being controlled’, ‘Ao Yi being thrown into the oil pot’, and so on.
However, those were much better than Li Changshou exposing himself in front of the Western Sect experts…
How can I protect myself better when I’m in the vortex of this large Dao Sect?
Li Changshou also knew that he was in a slightly passive position at the moment. In the end, it was because he had not cultivated for long and had not accumulated enough. As a result, he was unable to fully unleash his full potential in such a major event. He could not help but fall deep into thought. If he wanted to protect himself, he would naturally have to hide deeply, run quickly, and cling to his backer.
It was not safe to hide blindly. Only by proving his worth could he truly cozy up to someone powerful. Therefore, he had to wander around the edge of the vortex…
It was like a strange circle. Since the Western Sect produced a Soul-Conquering Butterfly today, they might create a Killing Worm tomorrow…
Who could take that?
What could he think of to shift the other party’s attention away from him?
At this moment, Daoist Wen Jing must be reporting to the Western Sect.
In order to protect his teammate who would be useful to him in the future, Li Changshou did not let Daoist Wen Jing destroy the Soul-Conquering Butterfly. Instead, he let Daoist Wen Jing explain to the Deputy Sect Master of the Western Sect in detail how she found the Sea God of the South Ocean and how she had made eighteen mistakes. Although it was impossible for the other party to “retreat” because they knew that they were in trouble, they might change their minds… To be honest, as long as it was not a threat to Li Changshou’s main body, he could destroy as many paper effigies as he wanted. If worst comes to worst, I can develop some bean… immortals in the future…
Huh?
Boom! Boom! “The power of the Heavenly Dao?”
In the secret room, Li Changshou was shocked by the muffled thunder.
He scanned the area with his immortal senses and realized that there were more than ten figures floating around a nameless mountain outside the sect.
A disciple of the same generation was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence.
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up, and he temporarily put his worries aside. He immediately left the secret underground chamber and summoned Ling’e.
At most, if the Western Sect made any moves, he would directly invite the Great Daoist Master to help him create a big show. He only needed to make the Western Sect wary and become too afraid to touch the Sea God of the South Ocean.
Everyone is competing on the same stage. It would be too much to directly eradicate the opponent. Not long after, Li Changshou rode a cloud and led Ling’e and Xiong Lingli to the edge of the mountain-protecting array formation. Through a thin and transparent wall of light, he watched the
At the same time, many disciples from the sect rushed over to admire the Heavenly Tribulation in a bid to increase their confidence in transcending the tribulation…
He was familiar with the person who was undergoing the tribulation today. He was Liu Sizhe, a disciple of the Du Lin Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, who had once fought with Junior Brother Wang Qi on the Little Qiong Peak for love. He was also the person who had fallen out with his Senior Sister Yan’er and Junior Brother Wang Qi.
The top twenty immortal seedlings of the Immortal Du Sect had been preparing for the Heavenly Tribulation for the past few years. The sequence of the Heavenly Tribulations would go according to the ranking of disciples in the sect…
The Heavenly Tribulation did not care about anyone’s pride or arrangements. On the nameless peak outside the array, the wind and clouds changed and a strong gust of wind blew over. Spiritual energy surged over and turned into a Tribulation Cloud.
To Li Changshou, the power and might of the Tribulation Cloud… was not too strong. It was a little sparse. That also proved that Liu Sizhe was really hardworking. His original talent could only be considered above average. Li Changshou observed his junior sister’s expression.
At that moment, Ling’e’s face was pale as she faced the might of the world. She could not help but purse her lips… “Junior Sister, how’s the Heavenly Tribulation?” Li Changshou sent his voice transmission from five feet away. “In the future, you will have to go through this. If your Dao is not solid enough, you will be reduced to ashes.”
Ling’e bit her lips and looked at Li Changshou pitifully. Then, she looked worriedly at the person undergoing the tribulation.
Tsk…
If I don’t give this little girl some pressure, how can she become a useful person by fooling around with Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu every day!?! “Senior Brother…”
“Huh?”
“This… is fine.”
Ling’e sighed softly in her heart. If there were not many people around, she might have asked, “Since that’s the case, can you satisfy my little wish before I transcend the tribulation?” Then, she would definitely be punished to copy the scriptures or something. The Immortal Ascension Tribulation would not take too long. The Tribulation Clouds were prepared and the person who was undergoing the tribulation stood in the sky. The lightning spots under the tribulation clouds gathered and a bolt of lightning was struck downwards! Xiong Lingli whispered. “Oh my, this is a real strike.” Li Changshou calmly sent a voice transmission to the two of them, “Of course it’s true. Otherwise, what’s the point of the Heavenly Tribulation?” At that moment, the mountain-protecting array formation was temporarily closed. The mighty aura of heaven swept across! Clearly, the elders in the sect wanted their disciples to experience the Heavenly Tribulation more directly…
Lightning spots appeared again under the Tribulation Cloud. Another bolt of lightning struck down. Liu Sizhe stood in the air and did not move.
Xiong Lingli asked, “How many times will lightning strike during the Tribulation Transcendence, Cousin?”
“Junior Brother Liu’s number of Lightning Tribulations should be seven,” Li Changshou said.
He looked at the rare phenomenon that appeared above the Tribulation Cloud and could not call out the name of the lightning tribulation. Unfortunately, without the Ancestral Immortal of Jie School present, his explanation was not perfect.
Bolts of lightning landed one after another. By the time the fifth bolt of lightning struck, Liu Sizhe’s body was already shimmering with Immortal Spirit light.
Li Changshou nodded slowly. Liu Sizhe was probably going to pass the test.
The sixth bolt of lightning landed. Liu Sizhe’s body was struck on the top of the mountain and was shattered like a piece of rock. His Dharma powers and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation clashed, producing intense waves! Ling’e could not help but feel nervous.
She wondered what kind of situation she would be in when facing the Heavenly Tribulation, and whether or not she would be able to withstand such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation. Soon, Liu Sizhe jumped up again in a sorry state. He gathered all his powers in front of him and faced the last Heavenly Tribulation! Lightning spots flickered all over the Tribulation Cloud. The final power of the Heavenly Tribulation condensed into a lightning pillar that engulfed Liu Sizhe’s figure. It illuminated the night like it was daytime!
“Ah!”
In the pillar of lightning, Liu Sizhe roared and his long hair danced wildly!
Ling’e frowned again…
When the lightning dissipated, the world was filled with melodious immortal music.
The immortal cranes appeared in the sky, the fairies danced, an old man holding a peach, and other phenomena appeared in the sky. An auspicious cloud that looked like a ganoderma lifted Liu Sizhe up slowly. Liu Sizhe closed his eyes and felt the new world he had entered. His face was filled with enjoyment.
He did not ascend during the Tribulation Transcendence.
Ling’e sighed softly. “Senior Brother, is this Immortal Ascension?” “Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “This is the first obstacle to becoming an immortal.” There was a hint of yearning in Ling’e’s bright eyes. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief… Finally, Ling’e’s interest was diverted from having a crush on him to a little portion of cultivation…
“Senior Brother, let’s go back,” Ling’e whispered. “I will work hard in cultivation in the future and face the Heavenly Tribulation as soon as possible!”
Li Changshou smiled in relief. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly turned to the side and sent a voice transmission.
“Let’s wait a little longer. There are still people who are about to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence. Watch one more time and carefully comprehend it.” “Huh?”
Ling’e blinked gently. How could there be so many tribulations?
As expected, just as the heaven-and-earth phenomenon on Liu Sizhe’s side had dissipated, he recalled his experience of transcending the tribulation and a disciple suddenly laughed loudly.
“My Heavenly Tribulation has arrived!” As soon as he finished speaking, the originally dissipated Heaven and Earth spiritual aura gathered towards the Immortal Du Sect again. The disciple who spoke immediately left the crowd and flew towards the nameless mountain where Liu Sizhe was. The newly-advanced Essence Immortal, Liu Sizhe, immediately made way for him and gave him some words of encouragement. Boom! Boom!
The thunder rumbled, and the might of the heavens warned them!
The second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation had officially begun. There were seven Heavenly Tribulations this time. It was the average standard number for immortal seedlings from the Immortal Du Sect.
Ling’e was less nervous this time. She looked at the others with interest. Seeing that they had successfully passed the tribulation, she felt more confident. However, the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect seemed to be fighting with the Heavenly Tribulation today. After the second person finished his tribulation, another person dashed out and continued to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation…
There was a reason for them to undergo Tribulation Transcendence together. Seeing one or two people successfully transcend the tribulation, the other disciples, who had already reached that threshold, felt confident that they could do it.
If he can do it, I can do it too!
Therefore, when his Dao heart trembled slightly, the Heavenly Tribulation was triggered.
After the third person, two other immortal seedlings of the same generation flew out. Wang Qi of the Little Ling Peak Peak and his Dao companion, Liu Yan’er, successfully passed the Tribulation Transcendence. Junior Brother Qi Qi and Senior Sister Yan’er had become a true immortal couple.
Instantly, the disciples in the sect rubbed their palms together. The sixth person jumped out and faced his Heavenly Tribulation.
Then… he died.
The disciple who was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation was from the Heaven-Breaking Peak. He was about the same age as Li Changshou.
He did not know if it was due to the lack of accumulation before the Tribulation Transcendence, or if there was a mistake during the Tribulation Transcendence, but he did not manage to survive the last bolt of lightning and ended up becoming a tattered corpse on the mountain… The spirits of the disciples who were excited were instantly dampened. The disciple who had been struck to death by the Heavenly Tribulation could only let out a long sigh and collect his disciple’s corpse before burying him. The expressions on Ling’e’s little face, suddenly turned from happiness, excitement, and confidence, to… weakness. Li Changshou said leisurely, “You usually spend a lot of time having fun. There will be a lot of risks during the tribulation.”
“Senior Brother…”
Ling’e tugged at Li Changshou’s sleeve with her small hands and pursed her lips. For a moment, he did not know what to say. Let’s settle on three rules… Forget it. Seeing that Ling’e had also suffered a blow, Li Changshou finally behaved gently and said in a mellow voice, “The Heavenly Tribulation is just a test, not a complete killing tribulation.
There were six people who had undergone the tribulation today. Five of them had transcended the tribulation to become immortals, while one of them had lost his life to the Heavenly Tribulation. It is a good success rate.
However, the Tribulation Transcendence has always been an individual matter. Others can’t help you much. Next, you have to focus on your cultivation and stabilize your Dao foundation. Only then can you deal with it freely.” “Oh,” Ling’e replied obediently. Then, she turned to look at the nameless mountain that had been cut off by the Heavenly Tribulation. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions.
Why don’t I first resolve my own wishes before facing the Heavenly Tribulation? Ling’e let out a few soft moans as she silently thought about how she should attack… Li Changshou returned with Ling’e and Xiong Lingli. He had brought his junior sister to watch the Heavenly Tribulation. It was a small interlude. It was a good thing that his junior sister had become more respectful towards cultivation. It was a pity that the Senior Brother of the Heaven-Breaking Peak had died miserably under the Heavenly Tribulation. If he had prepared for a few hundred years, the chances of success would have been higher. In the next twenty years, it would be the peak period for the cultivators of the Immortal Du Sect to transcend their tribulations. He had to make a trip out and “accidentally” transcend the tribulation. His main body did not need to go out directly. He could just arrange for a paper effigy to go out. As long as he returned and revealed his early-stage Essence Immortal realm cultivation, he would be able to cover up everything perfectly…
Sigh, it would be perfect if he could delay it till his Golden Immortal Tribulation.
If that was the case, he would go out for a while. The sect thought that he was going to transcend the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, but in reality, he had asked the Great Daoist Master to protect him and find a hidden place to transcend his Immortal Tribulation.
If the sect asked about it after he returned, he would not be lying if he said that he had successfully transcended the tribulation.
Li Changshou chuckled and stopped smiling. He sat on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber and thought about how to deal with the attacks of the Western Sect.
Counterattack? He did not have the conditions to do that for the time being. After all, he was the one who demolished the Western Sect first. Now, it was time for the other party to take action.
As everyone knew, the schemes of the Primordial World were often done in a few rounds.
As he thought about it, another few days passed. Li Changshou roughly thought of a way to deal with it. Just as he was about to start practicing, two groups of guests rushed to the Sea God Temple… The first to arrive was the Dragon Palace’s escort team.
A group of Immortal Flood Dragon troops carried six hundred chests of treasures. They descended from the sky and piled the treasure chests in the City Lord temple of Anshui City. That was a thank-you gift for the Sea God. One of them was also sent to the Heavenly Courts. That was also the reason that General Dongmu rushed over to ask for the Sea God’s opinion. Should the Heavenly Courts accept the gift from the Dragon Palace or not? Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked General Dongmu if the Heavenly Courts still lacked treasures.
If they lacked treasures, he would accept them. It was not just the power of merit that as needed to nurture Heavenly Soldiers. If they did not lack them, he would act righteous and reject them.
The Heavenly Courts was a proper management institution that ruled over the Primordial World!
General Dongmu immediately understood and rushed back to the Heavenly Courts to deal with it. When General Dongmu left, Li Changshou counted what he had obtained and calculated how much progress his Little Qiong Peak’s comprehensive defense system could make. A figure approached from the north.
Perfected Huang Long? The old Daoist priest was dressed in an earth-yellow Daoist robe. He looked worried and kept sighing. He must have encountered some trouble.
When did the name of the Sea God Temple get changed to ‘Dao Sect’s House of Wisdom’? Why does everyone come to this place to look for me, a disciple of Ren School, and pour their hearts out whenever they are troubled? Is there no one in Chan School?
Li Changshou took a closer look, but he did not see Master Zhao. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Master Zhao’s sister was beautiful, he was indeed an uncontrollable factor.
