This was the 40th day since the Hua Xia Sect was established.
The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast, with dark clouds pressing down on the entire Sect, like a scene from the end of the world.
Lightning ravaged the clouds, thundering loudly.
Everyone looked up, confused.
“It’s thundering, it’s raining, hurry home and collect your clothes!”
Inside the peaceful Sect, an untimely voice rang out.
Fang Yuan stood on the steps of the main hall with a large loudspeaker, shouting continuously.
Some players who didn't know the truth actually believed him and rushed back to their small villas without stopping.
Meanwhile, those Qi Refining Stage players, sensing something, all focused their gaze on the back mountain.
“This looks like a Heavenly Tribulation. Is Xian Ge undergoing his tribulation?”
“Besides Xian Ge, who else in the Sect could be undergoing a tribulation? Hurry back to observe!”
In the secret forest, Zhao Shijie and the other players collectively rushed back to the Sect.
This was their first time witnessing a tribulation directly, and their hearts were filled with awe, while also preparing for their own tribulations in the future.
Boom—
A red lightning bolt flickered in and out of sight within the clouds, and the sky instantly darkened, with more and more lightning appearing in the clouds.
Before long, the clouds parted, and a mass of ink-black dark clouds appeared above the back mountain.
Boom—
A silver lightning bolt separated from the clouds, striking downwards with terrifying pressure.
Boom—
Another lightning bolt followed closely.
Chu Huaian flew up, bathed in the lightning tribulation, allowing the lightning to strike his body.
He wanted to temper his physical body with the lightning tribulation.
The lightning tribulation continued, one after another.
In just a blink of an eye, Chu Huaian withstood nine heavenly lightning bolts.
Normally, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would undergo a minor tribulation of one-nine lightning bolts.
However, Chu Huaian’s situation seemed different; in the dark clouds, countless lightning bolts converged, as if brewing an even more vast Heavenly Tribulation.
“I read in a book that the more talented a person is, the more difficult their tribulation will be. Does anyone know what kind of lightning tribulation Xian Ge is facing?” someone asked, puzzled.
“It seems to be…Heavenly Fire Lightning Tribulation?” Lin Ye said uncertainly.
“Xiao Xiao, do you know?” Fang Yuan asked with a playful smile, trotting over to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him indifferently, pushed the hair from her face behind her ear, revealing her delicate profile, and softly said, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be Nine-Revolving Profound Lightning.”
Upon hearing this, the players present who had studied tribulations all showed shock.
“I don’t read much, don’t lie to me. Nine-Revolving Profound Lightning is one of the ten great lightning tribulations. How could a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator attract such a Heavenly Tribulation?” Fang Yuan said, full of disbelief.
Xiao Xiao ignored him, simply gazing calmly at the figure in mid-air.
“Look, the lightning tribulation has turned red! Something is about to come out!”
Everyone’s expressions were solemn, their eyes fixed on the thunderclouds.
The originally pitch-black night sky suddenly turned blood-red, and then a red flood dragon made of lightning appeared in everyone’s sight.
With just one glance, a hint of fear involuntarily rose in everyone’s hearts, and terrifying pressure swept across a hundred-mile radius.
All the nearby demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
From the few mountain peaks closest to the Hua Xia Sect, several figures swiftly flew over, wanting to observe this grand Heavenly Tribulation.
“Not good, cultivators are coming! All Hua Xia Sect members, immediately enter battle-ready state! Do not let these people disturb Xian Ge!”
Zhao Shijie roared, leading Lin Ye and the others towards the back mountain.
“Wang Xiaojun, quickly set up the cannons, set up the cannons!”
“Li Yongxiao, bring out your Italian cannon! Whoever dares to make a move, blast them!”
“Qin Hao, Fang Yuan, you two come back quickly! Don’t act rashly!”
“Xiao Xiao, don’t get too close, you’ll be affected by the heavenly lightning!”
“And Luo Xi, stop forming seals! You are no match for these people!”
The crowd was in a chaotic flurry, and Zhao Shijie and Lin Ye were in a rush, finally intercepting these unruly individuals.
There were a total of five people who came to observe: two elders and three middle-aged men.
One of the elders cupped his hands and politely said to Zhao Shijie and the others, “We are here only to observe the lightning tribulation. We apologize for disturbing your Sect.”
“Since you said you’re disturbing us, then scram!” Fang Yuan raised the machete in his hand, pointing at the elder and cursing loudly.
At these words, the elder’s body stiffened.
This was the first time he had been pointed at and cursed by a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“Do you know who I am?” The elder’s face hardened, and he exuded an oppressive aura that enveloped Fang Yuan.
But who was Fang Yuan? The Hua Xia Sect’s number one troublemaker!
He completely ignored the elder, continuing to curse under the pressure: “I don’t care who you are! If you dare to disturb Xian Ge’s tribulation, I’ll be the first to hack you to death!”
“And me!” Qin Hao shouted, stretching his neck.
Fang Yuan glanced at Qin Hao beside him, disdainfully whispering, “Why are you joining in? When adults talk, children shouldn’t interrupt.”
“With your little trick, do you think I can’t see what you’re planning?” Qin Hao sneered.
“Holy—crap, you figured that out?”
“Isn’t it just to take this opportunity to show off and then ask Xian Ge for benefits? Damn it, I even considered you a brother, and you don’t invite me to such a good thing? Are you even human?”
“Alright, alright, I was wrong. I’ll include you.”
The two huddled together, whispering, unaware that everyone present could hear their voices.
The elder’s face was lined with black, and he was about to scold them, but then he saw a silver spear flying upwards against the current, heading straight for his head.
“How bold!”
Behind the elder, a burly middle-aged man struck out a palm from a distance, sending the silver spear flying back.
The silver spear spun a few times in the air, landing steadily in Zhao Shijie’s hand.
“Take another step forward, and it’ll be a fight to the death!” Zhao Shijie pointed his spear at the five, his tone extremely cold.
“A fight to the death!” The players behind them all pulled out their weapons, their faces filled with excitement.
“Fight! Fight!” Fang Yuan and Qin Hao shouted loudly, looking as if they wanted to see the world in chaos.
The elder and the others frowned slightly. Having lived for over a hundred years, they had never seen such disrespectful juniors.
They all seemed a bit abnormal, especially the two on the right holding knives, looking like they were ready to rush up and hack people at any moment.
Are these people really not afraid of death?
Even the person undergoing tribulation above had just advanced to Foundation Establishment Stage; their strength was simply not enough to contend with them.
Moreover, they had just used their divine sense to investigate, and this small Sect didn’t have a single Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. Where did they get the confidence to be so arrogant?
Towards these unruly players, the elder’s eyes faintly held killing intent. He took a step back and transmitted a message to the other four:
“Everyone, I just used my divine sense to investigate, and there seems to be a huge spiritual energy hidden within this Sect. There might be many spirit stones. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, the other four’s expressions shifted, and they immediately spoke: “If it’s true, I’ll go with you.”
“We are all rogue cultivators. When we encounter such a good opportunity, we should seize it well.”
“Besides, this Sect has a crooked and evil atmosphere; they are very likely demonic cultivators. Our actions this time are to act on behalf of the heavens. I agree to this matter.”
“Since everyone agrees, then let’s destroy this demonic Sect together!”
The five quickly reached a consensus, erupting with their Foundation Establishment cultivation, and plummeted rapidly on their flying swords.
“Dare to make a move? Brothers, grab your weapons!”
“Li Yongxiao, open fire!”
“The enemy only has five people, and we have fifty! This is an easy win!”
