Fake Tribulation

The stunned girls were also pulled out of their fantasies. Their faces were bright red and anyone could see that they had been moved by the Thunder Emperor's handsome visage.

 The group got into a flying ship and headed towards the secret realm.

With the powerful ship as their means of transport, they were able to reach the edge of the Heaven Dao sect territory after just a few weeks. They could have used the teleportation formation and saved time but this would have made their expenses skyrocket and this would eat into their sect points making the mission a loss.

Through the weeks on the ship, the Thunder Emperor had continued his cultivation. He was on the verge of breaking through to reach the Divine Monarch realm, the last realm in the third step of cultivation.

By the time they reached the location of the secret realm, he was ready for his breakthrough.
