“Lightning Tribulation?” Taken aback, Shen Ying almost dropped her pastry. “Are you for real?”
“Don’t you believe me?” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. “Why can’t I ascend? During the previous two days, I’ve achieved a breakthrough— I’m now past the Soul Formation stage and have perfected my cultivation. Immortal Ascension is only a matter of course.”
In fact, he had not thought it would be so fast. Ever since his epiphany, he found that his cultivation had been slowly rising. He had Bai Ze’s Black Spirit Blossom with him for a while and its special aura seemed to have been beneficial to his cultivation, resulting in him finally attaining the Perfected State.
Shen Ying pursed her lips. “Does it mean that you won’t be able to come down after your Immortal Ascension?”
“In the initial stage, yes.” He nodded. “Once I ascend to become an Immortal, naturally I’ll be in the Immortal Realm. There are boundaries between the three realms. You can’t transmigrate between the realms at your whim. Same case for Bai Ze. He had been in the lower realm for tens of thousands of years. If we did not have the Black Spirit Blossom, even you would not be able to open the realm gate.”
“Oh…” Furrowing her brows, Shen Ying asked, “You’re really going?”
“This is the law of heaven and earth. If I succeed in overcoming the tribulation, I’ll naturally not stay in the lower realm,” explained Lonemoon. Then seeing Shen Ying’s conflicted expression, his heart immediately softened, and he tried to comfort her by saying, “We will have to face the Tribulation Transcendence sooner or later. Like me, Yi Qing will also face it soon.”
“We’ll still have to undergo Tribulation Transcendence? Why don’t we just forget it.” This place was pretty good.
“Pui!” He glared at her. “You think this is a leisure tour where you can make your own decisions on when to depart. What have I been practicing so many years for if not to achieve Immortal Ascension?”
“In that case…”
“I know that you can’t bear to leave a fellow compatriot.” He patted her on the shoulder and smiled. “The Lightning Tribulation is so dangerous that I won’t activate the tribulation unless there is no other recourse. I’m not sure whether I can make it through the transcendence successfully.”
“Er…”
“Relax, I’m confident I can endure the divine lightning, don’t worry.”
“No, I mean…” Shen Ying said earnestly, “Father Niu, Before you ascend, can you leave sufficient spirit stones for your children?” We won’t have money for food.
…
“Scram!” I don’t have such an unfilial daughter like you.
Lonemoon was so disgusted that he wanted to spit at her. His pent up anger accumulated at his chest, causing his entire body’s Spirit Qi to surge. He felt as if his Qi would erupt any minute.
Wait a moment!
His Spirit Qi…
“You…” Yi Qing looked at him in sudden realization and exclaimed, “Your Heavenly Tribulation is coming!”
True enough, the surrounding area became dark all of a sudden. Gusts of winds blew and dark clouds, tinged with a faint purple streak of lightning, gathered in the upper atmosphere of the Invincible Sect.
Holy shit, it’s really here!
Lonemoon was so shocked that he forgot his anger. He turned and rushed out of the front hall. Looking at the lightning tribulation in the sky, he felt the Spirit Qi in his whole body surge.
Quickly conjuring a hand seal, he set up many layers of array formations and also activated an array to protect their mountain.
After checking that all measures had been taken to protect the Invincible Sect from the Lightning Tribulation, Lonemoon walked towards the eye of the array and sat down cross-legged to await the Tribulation Transcendence. However, he could not help turning around to issue a warning, “Shen Ying, the Lightning Tribulation of the Immortal Ascension is truly formidable, everyone don’t come near…”
Before completing his sentence, he saw that everyone had already retreated by a hundred meters. They also carried out tables and chairs. Spread on the tables were food like peanuts, seeds, fruits. Everyone then sat down to look at him while munching on their tidbits.
Lonemoon: “…” Son of a b*tch!
He must have been crazy to worry that they would be injured by the Lightning Tribulation. Let the Lightning Tribulation strike them!
Taking a deep breath, Lonemoon suppressed his violent urges and sat down cross-legged.
Eliminating all distracting thoughts, he concentrated on preparing for the tribulation. The sky had turned dark; the only light that could be seen in heavens and earth was the purple streak between the clouds.
