I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 204: Chapter 152: Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder (2)

”I also commissioned Elder Li for artifact refining!”

”So did I!”

”It seems everyone has sought Elder Li’s artifact refining!”

...

The True Disciples and high-ranking Elders of the Qing Xuan Sect were engaged in a heated discussion. Finally, with a certain disciple’s reminder, they identified someone who ’perfectly’ matched the identity they sought.

”Xianwen, you should know this artifact refining Elder Li well, right? Is it him?” Venerable Qingfeng asked Yin Xianwen, who was in charge of Hundred Refinement Peak, with concern.

Yin Xianwen glanced at the sky, where the tribulation crosser was facing the next wave of thunder tribulation, and replied with a wry smile, ”Supreme Elder, truth be told, I’ve interacted with Elder Li for nearly sixty years, but he is too low-key and reclusive, so we haven’t established a deep friendship. However, Elder Li is diligent and completes the yearly artifact refining tasks perfectly, never making any mistakes.”

”So, he’s refined quite a few spiritual artifacts for the sect! With a high success rate, he’s been able to stockpile many artifacts over the years. It seems this must be Elder Li. Not bad.” Venerable Qingfeng nodded, raising his head to gaze at the tribulation crosser who was braving the Silent Extinction Thunder Tribulation, and confirmed.

”It should be him. Elder Li is like an ascetic. Apart from refining artifacts, he often retreats and hides away on Moon Pearl Peak. Who would have thought he turned out to be such a skilled individual,” Yin Xianwen exclaimed with a complex expression.

”A golden-scale fish is no ordinary creature; it transforms into a dragon when encountering wind and clouds. The pool of Qing Xuan Sect is too shallow and may not accommodate him!” Venerable Qingfeng gazed at the tribulation crosser, his expression complex.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core True Inheritance Disciples and Nascent Soul Elders of Qing Xuan Sect revealed complex expressions on their faces, looking with admiration at the sky where the talented tribulation crosser showed his prowess.

Even Venerable Qingfeng feels inferior!

Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, Heart Demon Tribulation, Azure Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, Silent Extinction Thunder Tribulation, Li Mu had braved eight waves of thunder tribulation in one go. Up next was the final wave, the Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation.

The scale of the thunderclouds in the sky shrank to approximately ten miles, becoming extremely dense. Streaks of thunderbolts within the clouds flashed in deep purple, releasing a terrifying destructive aura that induced fear.

Around the thunder tribulation, Demon Sect cultivators under the arrangement of the Absolute Yin Array, panicked at the sight of this color of thunderbolts, as if encountering their nemesis. Even the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch’s face turned deathly pale upon hearing the thunder.

”Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder! Truly incredible!” Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s eyes flashed with a trace of dread, wishing to eliminate the tribulation crosser before he could grow. Otherwise, in less than a century, he might not be Tian Jue’s opponent.

Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder affects the divine soul, exerting extreme restraint on all things wicked and yin under heaven. Any demon cultivator encountering Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder during tribulation crossing essentially faces annihilation.

This is already a formidable thunder tribulation, targeting the most vulnerable divine soul. He likely can’t make it across! Even if he does, it will take half his life at least.

Considering this, Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s expression eased slightly, continuing to observe the opponent’s tribulation crossing.

On Celestial Profound Peak, members of Qing Xuan Sect also grew tense.

”What thunder tribulation is this, so terrifying! Just a glance makes my own soul tremble.”

”It’s over; it’s the Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder. Elder Li surely can’t pass this tribulation!”

”What is Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder? Is it very powerful?”

”Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder targets only divine souls. Any divine soul can’t withstand in front of Purple Sky Thunder unless one breaks through to the Primordial Spirit Realm and Divinity Transformation, possessing the power of Divinity Transformation to withstand it barely!”

”What! Power of Divinity Transformation? Isn’t that only possessed by Venerable Divinity Transformation Cultivators?”

”How can this be, Elder Li isn’t crossing into Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation? It’s almost over, how can such terrifying thunder tribulation appear suddenly.”

”Indeed! It completely cuts off any path of survival! Cursed heavens!”

...

The Inner Sect disciples trapped on the Seven Main Peaks of Qing Xuan Sect eagerly awaited the Ancestor’s successful tribulation crossing to lead them in counter-attacking the Nine Demons Sect.

But who knew the final wave of thunder tribulation would be this frightening, dashing their hard-earned confidence! Inner Sect disciples of Qing Xuan Sect were outraged, cursing the heavens.

The high-ranking Elders of Qing Xuan Sect also grew frantic.

”How is it the Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation? Isn’t this supposed to appear when crossing from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation? Qing Feng Senior Brother, what’s going on?”

”Indeed, Senior Brother, Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation is one of the Divinity Transformation calamities. How could it appear in the Golden Core to Nascent Soul Tribulation?”

”The tribulation crossing is our penalty for acts of defiance against the heavens, but the skies should provide a thread of vitality, nine deaths to survive one life. How can such a ten deaths no survival thunder tribulation appear?”

...

The Elders looked bewildered at Venerable Qingfeng, seeking answers.

Venerable Qingfeng furrowed his brows, explaining, ”Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulations are varied and don’t manifest in fixed forms. Instead, they form based on the tribulation crosser’s strength. Elder Li’s cultivation of ancient techniques coupled with ancient Foundation Establishment Technique foundation is extremely solid, hence his tribulation is so formidable.”

”Now the appearance of Purple Sky God-Slaying Thunder signifies that his divine soul has reached an astonishing level, comparable to Divinity Transformation Cultivators, hence the Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation has appeared.” Venerable Qingfeng looked at everyone, assessing.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, full of disbelief. They couldn’t imagine Elder Li’s divine soul strength had reached the Divinity Transformation Cultivator level.

”How is this possible, Elder Li’s bone age isn’t even a hundred! Did he start cultivating in the womb?” Yin Xianwen was astounded, unable to accept this.

”Indeed! Divine Soul techniques are always scarce and the hardest to cultivate, progressing at the slowest rate. How did he do it?”

”Could Elder Li be a reincarnated Great Emperor?”

”Hold on! Elder Chen, your suggestion is highly plausible! This reincarnated ’Great Emperor’ must have cultivated secretly with profound Artifact Refining Skill, very much in line with Elder Li’s behavior!”

”Definitely so. Otherwise, with such extraordinary talent, he wouldn’t need to conceal his identity!”

”Should be indeed! No wonder he achieved such cultivation in such a short time; he must be a reincarnated Great Emperor!”

”If that’s the case, Elder Li should be able to safely cross the Purple Sky Godslaying Tribulation!”

...

With Venerable Qingfeng’s reply, Qing Xuan Sect’s Elders speculated about Elder Li’s true identity, combining his behavior in Qing Xuan Sect with his monstrous talent and powerful cultivation, confirming one thing consensus: He is a reincarnated Great Emperor.

Listening to the Elders’ discourse, Venerable Qingfeng’s heart raced, eyes burning as he watched Elder Li crossing the tribulation.

Elder Li being a reincarnated Great Emperor is highly likely, indeed correct!

”Oh yes, Senior Brother! Last time Venerable Huo Tian from Mountain and River Sect came abruptly, was it to find Elder Li? Could the treasure hunt pursuit be false and they discovered Elder Li’s Great Emperor reincarnation as the real reason?” Qing Wen True Monarch pondered, looking at Venerable Qingfeng.

”It must be, how cunning is Venerable Huo Tian! He definitely came for Elder Li.”

”Fortunately that time Elder Li was deeply hidden, nobody realized.”

Upon Qing Wen True Monarch’s revelation, several Elders suddenly comprehended, cursing aloud.

”This matter hasn’t been determined yet; refrain from speculative conjectures. Once the tribulation passes, the truth will naturally be revealed. If he fails this tribulation, we must prepare for a battle of life and death; rest well and prepare!” Venerable Qingfeng waved his hand, sternly gazing at the thunder tribulation beyond the grand array, the scattered Absolute Yin Array, and the Nine Demons Sect cultivators hidden within the sea of blood in the Yin Array.

Venerable Qingfeng exchanged a glance filled with indelible killing intent with Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s peculiar eyes.

Once the thunder tribulation ends, next comes a battle of life and death.
