Chapter 510: Xiao Yan's Tribulation
Chapter 510: Xiao Yan’s Tribulation
Deep within the vast mountain range, on the very peak where Lu Qing once faced his celestial tribulation.
No, it shouldn’t be called a peak anymore.
After enduring four Golden Core Celestial Tribulations, the mountain had been repeatedly eroded, leaving only a few dozen feet of its former height.
What was once the most majestic peak now stood shorter than many of the surrounding hills, resembling a mere stump.
And today, it was about to face another Golden Core Tribulation.
On the mountain stump, Lu Qing and the others had gathered.
This time, Xiao Yan was the one facing the tribulation, and many had come to observe.
Apart from the Old Doctor and Xiao Li, Wei Shanhai, Wei Xinghe, and Wei Zian, among others, had also come.
Even Wei Furen had made the journey.
Twenty years had passed, but Wei Furen’s appearance had hardly changed; she still looked like a beautiful middle-aged woman.
Even her vitality was quite strong, having reached the Internal Viscera Realm.
However, her movements lacked the aura of a martial arts expert.
It was clear that her physical strength had been enhanced, but she had no corresponding martial arts skills.
“Xiao Yan, you must be very careful during this tribulation,” Wei Furen said with concern.
She knew little about cultivation, and her strong vitality was due to the spiritual pills Xiao Yan often gave her to forcibly enhance her.
She knew nothing about the Celestial Tribulation, only that it was an extremely difficult ordeal, so she was very worried about Xiao Yan.
“Don’t worry, Godmother, I’ll be fine!”
Xiao Yan, still a young girl in appearance, replied with confidence.
“That’s right, having such determination is already a third of the way to success in facing the tribulation,” the Old Doctor said, stroking his beard with a smile and nodding in satisfaction.
His aura was as deep and steady as ever.
Twenty years had passed, and his cultivation had steadily improved. He was now at the peak of the First Transformation, not far from breaking through to the Second Transformation of the Golden Core.
This rate of cultivation was already extremely fast.
After all, the Old Doctor had initially condensed a Superior Golden Core and had faced the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation of the Golden Cloud Celestial Tribulation.
His Golden Core, even among Superior Golden Cores, was of the highest rank.
To reach the peak of the First Transformation in just twenty years was a remarkable achievement, even by the standards of the great worlds.
For example, the three First Sage Masters of Holy Mountain were among the earliest to face the Celestial Tribulation and achieve the Golden Core in this world.
The most accomplished of them, the First Sage Master, was still at the peak of the First Transformation and had yet to officially enter the Second Transformation.
“I understand, Grandpa Chen!” Xiao Yan nodded vigorously.
“Xiao Yan, good luck!” Xiao Li stepped forward and called out in a sweet voice.
Wu Xing approached, rubbing its head affectionately against Xiao Yan’s hand to encourage her.
After everyone had given their words of encouragement, Lu Qing stepped forward.
Looking at the spirited young girl before him, he was momentarily transported back to the time when he first awoke, and the little girl who had looked at him with surprise while holding a gray bun.
Finally, he reached out and gently ruffled Xiao Yan’s hair.
“Face the tribulation with confidence, and know that your brother is here for you.”
“Mm, I know, Brother.”
Feeling the warmth of her brother’s palm, Xiao Yan felt more at ease and responded softly.
“Alright, go face the tribulation. Remember the things I gave you; don’t hesitate to use them when you need to.”
Lu Qing withdrew his hand and turned to the Old Doctor. “Master, let’s move to the other side.”
“Mm.” The Old Doctor nodded and took flight, heading toward the adjacent peak.
Lu Qing waved his sleeve, and a gentle cloud appeared, lifting Wei Furen and the others, carrying them to a safe peak far away.
The celestial tribulation was formidable, and those with insufficient cultivation who ventured too close could easily be injured by the overwhelming celestial might.
When Wei Furen and the others arrived at a mountain peak dozens of miles away, a massive thunderclap suddenly echoed through the sky.
A vast celestial might appeared from the heavens, and a massive vortex of tribulation clouds slowly formed.
"Is this the celestial tribulation Xiao Yan has to transcend?"
Wei Furen looked at the massive vortex of tribulation clouds in the sky, utterly stunned, muttering to herself.
She was just an ordinary noble lady, and although she had often heard her husband and son discuss the terrifying nature of celestial tribulations at home, no amount of hearing or imagining could compare to the sight before her.
"Can human power truly resist such celestial might?"
Gazing at the apocalyptic scene ahead, Wei Furen's heart tightened.
"Master, the scale of Xiao Yan's tribulation cloud vortex is no less than the celestial tribulation that Senior Chen faced back then!"
At this moment, Wei Zian, standing beside Wei Furen, gasped in amazement.
"Yes, Senior Chen's celestial tribulation back then was the Golden Cloud Celestial Tribulation. It seems Xiao Yan will face the same this time", Ma Gu's face was also filled with shock.
Both of them exuded extraordinary auras, clearly already at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Senior Chen's celestial tribulation back then could shatter mountains. I wonder if Xiao Yan can withstand it."
"Definitely no problem. Xiao Yan reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage a decade ago and has honed her skills for the past ten years. According to Senior Chen, Xiao Yan's current foundation is much deeper than his was back then."
"Indeed, and with the care and attention from Lord Lu Qing, I'm sure he has prepared countless methods to help Xiao Yan transcend the celestial tribulation. There's definitely no issue."
On the other side, Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe also engaged in similar discussions.
Hearing her husband and the others talk, Wei Furen's heart, which had been clenched, finally relaxed a bit.
At that moment, another massive thunderclap echoed from the sky ahead.
Then, a cloud of golden light, radiating terrifying celestial might, slowly condensed.
"Xiao Yan's celestial tribulation is even more powerful than mine back then. It seems she has indeed been diligent in her cultivation over the years."
On a nearby peak, Old Doctor, feeling the celestial might above, sighed in admiration.
"Yes, Master, Xiao Yan hasn't slackened in her cultivation over the years."
Lu Qing looked at the golden tribulation cloud forming in the sky and nodded slightly.
Although he had expected this, seeing the golden tribulation cloud appear truly put his mind at ease.
As long as she could transcend the Golden Cloud Celestial Tribulation, Xiao Yan would be able to refine a Superior Golden Core, and her future path would be smooth.
As for whether Xiao Yan could transcend the celestial tribulation...
Lu Qing was very confident about this.
After all, over the past ten years, he had arranged numerous rigorous trials for her. Her foundation was now rock-solid, with no room for further improvement.
With the various precious pills and magical artifacts he had prepared, a mere Golden Cloud Celestial Tribulation would be no match for Xiao Yan.
Boom!
As the master and disciple conversed, the thunder within the golden tribulation cloud, which had been brewing, finally struck down.
