chapter 426: chapter 126: yue qi’s mother faces tribulation

upon hearing zhang jian’s teasing, yue qi’s mother’s face instantly reddened, somewhat uncomfortable…

meanwhile, lin jing gave zhang jian a blank look and said,

“if that’s the case, when it’s your turn to advance, i’ll give you a hand too, just promise yourself to me directly…”

hearing this, zhang jian hurriedly waved his hands and chuckled:

“hehe…”

“i’m just kidding.”

after that, zhang jian turned his head and spoke to yue qi’s mother again:

“in the future, you don’t need to call me senior anymore, just call me daoist friend or by my name.”

“after all, you’re about to advance to the golden core stage yourself. once you advance to the golden core stage, you’ll be a daoist friend like us.”

yue qi’s mother nodded gently…

afterward, lin jing spoke directly,

“since that’s settled, let’s head to that island now to prepare for the tribulation.”

zhang jian and yue qi’s mother both nodded their heads in agreement.

subsequently, lin jing summoned the flying boat.

then the three of them boarded the flying boat together and left li yan island, heading for tribulation island.

originally, lin jing had thought about whether to bring li qingqing and others, including lin jue, along to observe yue qi’s mother undergoing her tribulation.

after all, observing a tribulation is quite beneficial for one’s own future tribulation.

but then lin jing thought of the black shark gang that was still ceaselessly searching for them, and he dismissed this idea.

this time, the protectors for the tribulation were only lin jing and zhang jian.

if an accident occurred midway through the tribulation or other cultivators were encountered, it might not end well.

……

after several hours of flight,

the three finally arrived at the small island that lin jing had previously found.

this island was located in the northern part of the thousand islands domain. since it was some distance away from the main domain and was an uninhabited island with no resources,

even the cultivators passing by here were very few.

upon their arrival on the island, lin jing opened the hatch of the flying boat, and the three disembarked. zhang jian immediately set to work.

zhang jian reached the center of the small island and began to take out array flags, placing them in predetermined positions one by one.

before long, the array flags were all placed.

then, zhang jian took out an array plate and began to control the formation, gathering it…

it didn’t take long for the formation to take shape.

after the formation was set up, zhang jian came over and said to yue qi’s mother:

“qi’er…”

“all right, the formation is complete, you can enter and start your breakthrough.”

yue qi’s mother nodded her head, then said to zhang jian:

“thank you, daoist zhang…”

zhang jian waved his hand and said,

“no need…”

then, yue qi’s mother turned to lin jing and said,

“island master, i will go ahead then.”

lin jing nodded and replied,

“yeah, go on…”

yue qi’s mother was well-prepared for this tribulation, so naturally, there was nothing she needed to explain.

afterward, yue qi’s mother positioned herself in the middle of the formation, sat down cross-legged, took the cultivation true elixir given to her by lin jing, swallowed it, and began to meditate…

at this moment, seeing yue qi’s mother begin her meditation, lin jing turned his head to zhang jian and said,

“brother zhang, we can’t be careless in what’s to come.”

zhang jian replied with a smile,

“don’t worry, i naturally understand that…”

afterward, the two took up positions on two sides of the island, starting their roles as protectors for yue qi’s mother.

……

soon.

four hours passed, yet yue qi’s mother had still not broken through.

at this time, the sky had gradually darkened,

but just then, yue qi’s mother temporarily stopped her meditation, took out a second cultivation true elixir from her storage bag, swallowed it, and continued her meditation.

another four hours went by, and lin jing finally sensed a sudden change in yue qi’s mother’s aura.

immediately after, the aura in the sky began to feel unusual as well, a terrifying pressure from heaven and earth descended upon the island.

lin jing looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds, like ink, gathering overhead; even amidst the night sky, they were strikingly evident.

seeing this, lin jing also hurriedly retreated a fair distance back to avoid being sensed by the heavenly tribulation.

and not just lin jing—when he retreated, he also saw zhang jian moving back as well.

the two of them stood by, watching yue qi’s mother amidst the island, while lin jing’s divine sense continued to sweep over the adjacent seas lest any unforeseen events occur.

the heavenly tribulation facing yue qi’s mother was not particularly strong; at least, it was much weaker compared to lin jing’s tribulation.

in fact, it was not much different from the tribulation elder yu faced.

above yue qi’s mother’s head, the black clouds quickly gathered, with countless arcs of lightning flashing within them, and the sound of “rumbling” was unceasing…

“crack!”

not long after, a sudden loud noise sounded.

the first strike of tribulation lightning fell, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daylight.

however, this first strike of tribulation lightning, facing a well-prepared yue qi’s mother, hardly affected her at all.

yue qi’s mother simply wielded the thunder shock shield, easily fending off this first strike of tribulation lightning.

after that.

came the second strike, the third strike of tribulation lightning…

…

…

yue qi’s mother effortlessly withstood several consecutive strikes of tribulation lightning.

it wasn’t until the sixth strike of tribulation lightning began that it became more formidable.
