Chapter 93: Chen Daoxuan Breaks Through to the Profound Sky Realm, Summoning the Thunder Tribulation

"Just a mere tribulation, what's the big deal?"

"Yanran, are you particularly curious about tribulations?"

"Observing one might actually benefit both of your cultivation and mental fortitude."

"Hmm... how about this? You two wait for a moment."

Hearing his disciples' conversation, Chen Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and then remembered that he had more than enough system points at his disposal.

After the cultivation of his two disciples, his system points had climbed back up to over 110,000. Using 100,000 of those points to break through to the Profound Sky Realm while keeping 10,000 in reserve for unforeseen situations seemed like a good plan.

Additionally, after his disciples' progress, with Yanran already breaking through to the Unity Realm, he felt it was somewhat embarrassing as their master to still remain stuck at the Void Sky Realm. It hurt his pride!

"Huh?"

Leng Yanran was dumbfounded upon hearing her master's suggestion.

She had merely wanted to verify if Scarlet Cloud's claims were true. How did it escalate to her master deciding to give a live demonstration?!

Although she was indeed curious about tribulations, she didn't want her master to risk summoning one just to satisfy her curiosity!

She immediately prepared to speak up and stop him.

"Yay!"

"Master, can Yurong have a sip of spirit liquid afterward? Pretty please?"

Li Yurong, however, lit up with excitement and jumped for joy.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Cloud stood frozen in place, completely stunned.

Was this some sort of joke?

He had merely been trying to share his shock, yet now the Hall Master was planning to summon a tribulation just so the two miss could observe and temper their mental states?

Heavenly tribulations—were they really this trivial...?

Every time Scarlet Cloud thought his perception of the Hall Master's power had reached its limit, the Hall Master would shatter that understanding yet again!

"System, exchange 100,000 system points for 100,000 years of cultivation," Chen Daoxuan silently commanded in his mind.

He ignored the reactions of those around him. He had originally been planning to find a suitable time for a breakthrough, and this situation provided the perfect opportunity to both advance his cultivation and train his disciples' mental resilience.

After all, system points that remained unused were merely system points. Only when spent did they convert into his own cultivation!

[Ding! 100,000 system points consumed. Successfully exchanged for 100,000 years of cultivation.]

With the system's notification, Chen Daoxuan's aura underwent a dramatic transformation. An overwhelming pressure radiated from him, distorting the space around him.

Leng Yanran and the others were startled and instinctively stepped back. But to their surprise, the aura didn't affect them directly—it was carefully controlled by their master, restricted to a half-zhang (about 1.5 meters) radius around him.

"It's coming!"

Chen Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up.

The previously clear sky darkened as dense clouds rapidly gathered. This time, the tribulation clouds spread across a radius of over a thousand miles, dwarfing the hundred-mile span of his previous tribulation!

The oppressive black clouds completely enveloped the region surrounding Void Mountain. Every living being within this range felt a profound sense of dread.

The stronger the creature, the more intense their panic. Many looked toward the sky, overwhelmed by the instinct to flee.

Even ferocious beasts devoid of intelligence prostrated themselves beneath the tribulation clouds, trembling and unable to move.

At the epicenter of the storm—before the Heavenly Dao Hall—those present felt the pressure most acutely.

Leng Yanran frowned deeply, her heart filled with inexplicable unease as if she were staring directly into the jaws of death.

She couldn't help but glance anxiously at her master.

Would summoning such a tribulation, solely for the purpose of training their mental fortitude, truly pose no danger to her master?

"Senior Sister, Yurong is scared..."

"Yurong doesn't want the spirit liquid anymore. Can we ask Master to stop?"

Li Yurong clung to her senior sister, fear evident on her face. Her initial excitement had completely vanished.

Li Yurong clung tightly to her senior sister's arm in fear, barely daring to glance at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

"This… this is definitely a heavenly tribulation!"

"Under this tribulation, all living beings will be reduced to ashes. If one survives it, they will undoubtedly attain immortality and ascend to the higher realms!"

Scarlet Cloud, trembling uncontrollably, dropped to his knees and began bowing fervently in the direction of the Hall Master. At this moment, he was utterly convinced that the Hall Master was an immortal—there was no other explanation. Only an immortal could summon such a terrifying tribulation!

[Oh no! Master has triggered another tribulation! Tea Tea is so scared!]

Even the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea awakened, shivering at the overwhelming aura of this tribulation, which was far more terrifying than the previous one.

"This tribulation seems to be no less powerful than a heavenly tribulation," Chen Daoxuan remarked calmly.

"Watch carefully, both of you. Observing this will temper your mental states and provide valuable experience for when you face your own tribulations to achieve immortality in the future."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen Daoxuan stood tall. The wind tousled his robe, and he even seemed to enjoy the breeze.

Meanwhile, his cultivation began rising rapidly.

Within several miles of the Heavenly Dao Hall, spiritual energy condensed to an extreme degree. Beyond the usual liquid state, some of it crystallized into solid energy crystals, all surging madly toward Chen Daoxuan.

As the vast amount of spiritual energy poured into him, his cultivation advanced swiftly:

Void Sky Realm, Second Layer!

Void Sky Realm, Third Layer!

Void Sky Realm, Fourth Layer!

...

Void Sky Realm, Ninth Layer!

By the time he reached the peak of the Void Sky Realm, the tribulation clouds in the sky had begun to churn violently. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, while a faint silhouette seemed to flicker within the stormy clouds.

Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing across his face. Was he imagining things?

BOOM!

The spiritual energy surged again, and Chen Daoxuan shattered the bottleneck of the Void Sky Realm, advancing straight into the Profound Sky Realm!

The entire time, the onlookers could only tremble in awe, too afraid to even breathe audibly. Even Li Yurong, who had earlier been eager to drink some spirit liquid, no longer dared to take a sip.

"So this is the Profound Sky Realm?"

"It seems I've gained a unique new ability…"

Chen Daoxuan's eyes lit up. When he broke through the Void Sky Realm before, his strength had increased by hundreds of times, but there were no new powers. This time, the breakthrough had finally brought something special.

As his aura reached the Profound Sky Realm, the tribulation clouds fully formed, and the lightning within was ready to strike.

However, instead of smashing the clouds to pieces as he had done previously, Chen Daoxuan seemed to be deep in thought, observing the clouds and trying to discern the figure he had glimpsed earlier.

CRACKLE-BOOM!

The first bolt of tribulation lightning descended, heading straight for Chen Daoxuan.

The oppressive, dark skies above Void Mountain were momentarily illuminated as if by daylight.

All living creatures within the tribulation's range shuddered instinctively.

At the Heavenly Dao Hall, the onlookers stumbled backward, their eyes wide with fear as they stared at the apocalyptic lightning bolt.

The massive lightning, as thick as a water barrel, struck Chen Daoxuan without resistance, enveloping him entirely. Smaller arcs of electricity danced across the ground like serpents before dissipating.

"Master!!!"

Seeing their master take the lightning head-on without evading, Leng Yanran and Li Yurong screamed in panic.

"Ahhh... Refreshing!!!"

Chen Daoxuan's calm voice broke the tense silence. The tribulation lightning, which terrified everyone else, seemed to bring him nothing but satisfaction.
