Chapter 136: Chapter 136 The Eve of Tribulation

Translator: 549690339

In the middle of the gravel beach, a formation had already taken shape, with its intricate pattern emitting a faint white glow, spreading over a considerable area.

Clearly, this was the formation that Elder Bai had prepared in advance for Elder

Yu.

Seeing the three people arriving, Elder Bai walked over.

Behind him, three other people followed.

And Lin Jing had seen all three of them before.

The Zhang Family Patriarch.

The old master of the Li Family.

And one more: the manager Lin Jing had met when he first arrived at Fang Market.

During the beast tide before, Lin Jing had seen him once more, and it was then that Lin Jing learned that he, too, was a Golden Core Immortal.

Together with Elder Bai himself, there were a total of four Golden Core Immortals prepared to act as protectors for Elder Yu.

It was common for cultivators undergoing tribulation to have protectors.

Protectors mainly served to prevent intentional sabotage.

It is known that the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would increase according to the number of people within its range; the more people within the area, the stronger the power of the tribulation lightning.

Moreover, the lightning struck indifferently, and if someone intruded midway through the tribulation, it was very likely that the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would double.

Consequently, this might lead the one undergoing tribulation to fail, resulting in death and the dissolution of their cultivation path.

“Elder Yu…” As the three immortals arrived, they greeted Elder Yu.

Elder Yu also stepped forward, cupping his fists in salute, “I thank the three immortals for protecting me today…”

“We’ll all be comrades after this, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning,” the three replied in turn.

At this moment, Elder Bai came over and said to Huang Qingling and Lin Jing:

“Your cultivations are insufficient, making it easy for you to be affected by the tribulation lightning, so you cannot stay too close. Later, go over to that hillside to watch.”

Elder Bai pointed to a hillside in the distance.

“Understood, Old Man Bai…’

“We’ll head there now.”

After instructing the two of them, Elder Bai turned around and went to Elder Yu’s side, speaking with the three immortals about something unknown to the others.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling headed towards the hillside.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the hillside.

The hillside was sparsely wooded, so there was no worry about the view being obstructed, and from atop the hill looking down, the perspective was just right to see everything clearly.

It was still early, and the others who were planning to observe Elder Yu’s tribulation had not yet arrived.

With nothing else to do, the two of them watched those few people from afar.

After a while, those who came to observe Elder Yu’s tribulation started to arrive one after another.

Young members from each family, and even the Wu Cai Immortal and the Li Family’s Golden Core Immortal, were present.

After all…

As the current Elder Bai held the position of a steward at Yuebaolou, his status was not ordinary, and he had never made enemies with anyone.

They would naturally come to observe Elder Yu’s tribulation as well.

Even if Wu Cai Immortal had a veiled conflict with Elder Bai, he could not show it openly, for he still needed to keep up appearances.

Besides, there was another important reason for Wu Cai Immortal’s presence; he came for his clan’s younger generation, who was preparing to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

He brought him to observe the tribulation multiple times, so that when his time came, he would be better prepared.

For this purpose, Wu Cai Immortal did not even bring Liu Yiyuan.

He was afraid that Liu Yiyuan, upon seeing Huang Qingling and Lin Jing, might suddenly lose control of his emotions, causing unpleasantness.

And Wu Cai Immortal himself, of course, would not cause trouble. After all, even if Elder Yu successfully traversed his tribulation and entered the Golden Core Stage, he would be just a newly advanced Golden Core, posing no threat to him.

Moreover, the timing wasn’t right, and he had not planned to make a move against Elder Bai.

At this point, down on the gravel beach…
