Chapter 1114: Chapter 1026: Strange
Boom, boom, boom——
Beneath their feet, Mount Wanxian continued to tremble, but the unease and perplexity on the faces of the clan members had vanished, replaced by anticipation and delight.
Bang!
Several hours later, the Spirit Vein upgrade was finally complete, and a pure and immense surge of Spiritual Energy gushed forth, eventually colliding with the Mountain Protection Array and transforming into a gentle rain that fell down.
All clan members didn’t hesitate for a moment, sitting cross-legged on the spot, circulating their Cultivation Techniques, seizing this opportunity to absorb as much of the pure Spiritual Energy as possible.
It’s known that normal Cultivation still requires refining the Spiritual Energy, but now they could directly absorb it.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone gradually opened their eyes.
"Our family finally has a Seventh Rank Spirit Vein!" Li Taiyao sighed.
Actually, long ago, the Li family had enough Spirit Stones to complete the Spirit Vein upgrade, but since the family lacked sufficient strength and had no Integration Cultivator in residence, a Seventh Rank Spirit Vein would easily incite envy.
In the end, there was no choice but to settle for the next best thing and cultivate a new Sixth Rank Spirit Vein.
Ever since Li Zhirui made a breakthrough in Integration, the family had restarted the Spirit Vein upgrade, and because the Li family had no supplementary Formation, they could only allow the Spirit Vein to upgrade on its own, which is why it took so many years to succeed.
The Spiritual Energy in Mount Wanxian had clearly risen to another level, especially for Li Zhirui and others who were secluding in the valley; this place was where two main Spirit Acupoints of the meridians met, and it had truly reached a state dense enough to condense into mist.
Boom!
Just when everyone thought the Spirit Vein upgrade was over and were about to go about their own business, a terrifying pressure suddenly emerged, alongside an indistinct energy that shot into the sky.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to have sensed something; the originally calm day with clear skies suddenly darkened as clusters of dark Tribulation Clouds began to gather.
Sensing the aura of Thunder Tribulation, Li Zhirui immediately rushed out from his Cave Mansion and loudly ordered: "All clan members stay away from Double Dragon Valley!"
As for those clan members in seclusion, their Cave Mansions contained formations that concealed their own aura, no need to worry about being mistaken by the Thunder Tribulation for outside interference.
Normal cultivators like Da Qing, Mu, and others immediately stopped circulating their Cultivation Techniques and turned into Spirit Light, appearing outside the valley to help Li Chengshuo as protectors.
"Which Elder Ancestor is about to breakthrough Integration?"
"Should be Elder Ancestor Jiang, right?"
"How could it be! Didn’t Elder Ancestor Jiang just break through to the Late Stage Refinement Void?"
"Then who could it be? Besides her, are there any other Elder Ancestors in the Late Stage Refinement Void?"
"Did you all forget the Shuo Ancestor, as well as the Moon Flood Dragon and Howling Moon, the two Spirit Ancestors? They broke through to the Late Stage Refinement Void many years ago."
"But that’s not right either, they only broke through a few decades ago, it’s too soon for them."
Others thought about it and agreed, upgrading in just a few decades was indeed somewhat terrifying.
"Could it be that our family has an Elder Ancestor who has not made an appearance before?"
The clan members discussed vigorously, speculating about the person who was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence.
When the Tribulation Clouds covered several acres and the Thunder Tribulation took form, under everyone’s gaze, Li Chengshuo appeared on the field as if draped in moonlight.
"It’s really Shuo Ancestor?!"
The vast majority of clan members were stunned by this scene, even rubbing their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Her realm has just been stabilized, isn’t it too risky to undergo Tribulation so hastily?" a clan member whispered.
"Who would joke about their own life and Dao path?"
Unless it was a last resort, wouldn’t everyone exhaust all possible means to increase their chances of succeeding in the Tribulation? Who would take such a risk?
Li Zhirui listened to the clan members’ discussions without interrupting. Although he looked calm, in his heart, he was extremely nervous.
Despite Li Chengshuo’s repeated assurances and full confidence, he could not suppress his worries.
Regardless of what everyone thought, the first Tribulation Thunder still struck down.
Li Chengshuo simply raised her hand and lightly tapped. A beam of moon-colored Spirit Light shot out, instantly freezing the Tribulation Thunder, then shattered and fell to pieces in mid-air.
"Hiss!"
Everyone watching this terrifying scene couldn’t help but reveal an expression of disbelief.
The following strikes of Tribulation Thunder were insignificant before Li Chengshuo, effortlessly blocked by her.
"Is Shuo Ancestor too strong, or is this Thunder Tribulation too weak? Why doesn’t it seem as terrifying as when Ancestor Rui underwent his Tribulation?" A clan member spoke out what was on his mind unintentionally.
Li Zhirui, who felt something strange about this Tribulation, after hearing this remark, suddenly looked up at the Thunder Tribulation in the sky.
"What’s wrong?" Da Qing, noticing that Li Zhirui was unsettled, asked through a soul transmission.
"There’s something wrong with this Thunder Tribulation!"
Li Zhirui said with a serious expression, " Logically, the cultivator’s aptitude and strength will affect the power of the Thunder Tribulation. But Shuo’s situation is unexpected."
Just like his own Tribulation, where the Thunder Tribulation was immensely powerful, even absorbing Spiritual Energy in the middle to enhance its strength. However, in Li Chengshuo’s Tribulation, there was none of that; the power of the Thunder Tribulation was mediocre, as if it was intentionally letting her pass the Tribulation. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
But why would the Heavenly Dao do that?
This was something Li Zhirui couldn’t figure out!
As he was mired in speculation, Li Chengshuo’s Tribulation was nearing its end.
Boom, boom, boom——
The last Tribulation Thunder was somewhat stronger than the previous ones, but it was still limited and didn’t cause Li Chengshuo any trouble.
Even the Heart Demon, which led countless cultivators to their downfall, didn’t trouble Li Chengshuo for long; she easily eradicated it, completing this Tribulation.
As the Heart Demon dissipated, the Tribulation Clouds turned into thick and pure Spiritual Energy. Li Zhirui internally compared it and found it to be much thicker than the column of energy he had experienced during his own Tribulation!
