Lonemoon felt like an invader – and an invader with a mission at that – Shu Yi was not at all low-key. They did not have any news of her so far, but that was probably just because she was trying to control the demonic Qi inside her body. Before long, Lonemoon knew that she would show herself once again.

But before she could do anything, a few years passed and Tian Yi had surprising achievements. Tian Yi had been in the late stages of Soul Formation, unable to make anymore progress. However, Lonemoon offered some suggestions out of convenience, and seemed to show Tian Yi a whole new direction. Tian Yi thus went head-in into changing pill recipes. Perhaps he was gifted in this area. Not only did he really manage to change the recipe for the Demon-Breaking Pill, he also began to look into other celestial-grade recipes.

Just like that, he reaped the benefits in terms of cultivation level. The entire Dan Xia Mountain welcomed batches of new pills from time to time. Otherwise, they heard multiple explosions on several occasions as well. This got Tian Yi more and more excited – his pill refining skills progressed at a cray speed. He was a pill cultivator after all. Apart from training, pill cultivators could also advance in cultivation level by refining pills. Given the pace at which Tian Yi was refining pills, it was no wonder that his The increase was big, too.

Thus, he ascended to immortality.

One morning, when Tian Yi was refining a cauldron of celestial-grade pills, the sky suddenly darkened. A huge lightning bolt like the disciples of Gui Yi Sect had never seen before suddenly struck the ground. Then… the bolt of lightning avoided Nameless Mountain and went straight to Dan Xiao Mountain. A large crash was heard. The temples all around Tian Yi were reduced to smithereens.

Before anyone could react, a huge Protective Mountain Array came up around the sect. Still, it could not fend against the formidable power of the heavens. The Sect Master Yu Luan anxiously flew over from the main peak just in time to see another frighteningly thick bolt of lightning. Then, he noticed that the skies were dark.

“This.. Could this be…” Yu Luan did not dare believe his own eyes.

“It’s the Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation,” Yi Qing and Lonemoon confirmed. They, too, arrived just in time with spirit herbs to see the lightning bolts.

“Immortal Ascension!” Yu Luan exclaimed. He looked a bit confused. “Could the person ascending to immortality be… Uncle-Master Tian Yi!” Yu Luan was all the more shocked now, but his body could no longer withstand the pressure filling the air. His legs were turning to jelly. It was almost as if he could not bear to stand for one more minute in the presence of this force from the heavens.

Tian Yi’s lightning tribulation was happening so soon. What’s more, this was the morning. The sun had not completely risen – that was why nobody realised that it was coming. Lonemoon instinctively conjured a seal to prevent the audience from becoming overwhelmed. After all, this was the Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation. He turned to face Chef, “You should do it!”

Yi Qing stared blankly at him. Why?

“It’s safer if you set it up!” He added. Yi Qing was the lightning tribulation’s boss after all. Did he not see the lightning bolt avoid Nameless Mountain?

Yi Qing’s expression darkened, but he turned around and set up the array anyway. A moment later, a white array appeared all around Dan Xia Mountain, on the outside of the Protective Mountain Array. There were two holes on the top of the array, which allowed the lightning bolts to descend through.

Yu Luan reacted at the same time. He quickly arranged for the disciples of Dan Xia Mountain to escape from the mountain. While he did this, he got the other disciples to move further away. This was an Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation. it was not like the ones the other disciples went through. Perhaps just looking at one bolt of lightning strike the mountain would cause the disciples’ cultivation levels to stagnate from the impact. What’s more, the lightning bolt that just descended was the Mental Demon Tribulation. The lightning bolts that were to follow would be much more terrifying.
