Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

”Oh, this Celestial Tribulation seems a bit unusual.”

As the brilliance faded, two graceful figures appeared, one of whom was the Beauty Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Race.

The beautiful lady gazed at the scorched plain below, sinking into contemplation.

The ground was filled with charred deep pits left by the Celestial Tribulation, some of which were still emitting wisps of smoke, and the terrifying aftermath in the surrounding world hadn’t dissipated for a long time.

The occasional sound of the wind still seemed to be recounting the horror of this Thunder Tribulation.

Tu Jiujiu stood obediently behind the Beauty Clan Leader, her clear, beautiful eyes gleaming with curiosity as she constantly surveyed this world, as if everything fascinated her.

”Do not run around.”

After pondering for a moment, the Beauty Clan Leader, though still puzzled, didn’t continue to think deeply. She instructed Tu Jiujiu, then immediately took out a milky white Spirit Pearl, and swiftly formed sealing hand signs, casting mysterious hand seals.

”Buzz...”

With the beautiful lady’s actions, strands of energy with electrical arcs emerged between heaven and earth.

The arcs appeared small, even difficult to see with the naked eye, yet one could feel their unsettling vibrations.

”Gather!”

The Beauty Clan Leader commanded softly, and those remnants of heavenly might quietly entered the Spirit Pearl before her.

In a short period of time, the glow within the Spirit Pearl intensified.

”Clan Leader, who was undergoing tribulation here?”

When the Beauty Clan Leader put away the Spirit Pearl, Tu Jiujiu finally asked curiously.

The Beauty Clan Leader shook her head; she didn’t often go out into the world and had no idea who might be undergoing tribulation.

”Did they successfully pass the Celestial Tribulation?”

Tu Jiujiu seemed curious about everything.

In her impression, the Beauty Clan Leader had said that Celestial Tribulations were terrifying, and in the world, it appeared no one had successfully endured a Celestial Tribulation.

However, at the site of this tribulation, there seemed to be no remains.

”Could it be... perhaps?”

The Beauty Clan Leader scanned the area but found no traces of death or disappearance.

Even if one perished under the Celestial Tribulation, there should be some traces left.

It seemed, the one who summoned the Celestial Tribulation... did not fall?

”Huh?”

Suddenly, the Beauty Clan Leader seemed to sense something, her gaze falling on the distant Fallen God Abyss.

She recognized the aura.

”The Great Yan Empress’s aura, could it be her tribulation?”

”No, it’s not her.”

If it were the Empress from Great Yan, the impact here and the aftermath of the battle should be magnified dozens of times or more.

Tu Jiujiu glanced around, her beautiful eyes glistening with lively light.

Having grown up in the Qingqiu Peach Forest, the little fox found even a desolate plain interesting, even wanting to explore each charred pit left by the Thunder Tribulation, as if something interesting might be hidden inside.

Tu Jiujiu walked to the largest pit, her delicate nose sniffing softly.

Besides the burnt taste from the lightning, there was another distinct aura.

”Clan Leader, come over here quickly.”

Tu Jiujiu waved repeatedly at the Beauty Clan Leader who was gazing into the abyss.

”Hmm?”

The Beauty Clan Leader focused her gaze and soon noticed the anomaly here.

Could this aura be left by the one undergoing tribulation?!

”Enough, it’s time to go back.”

The Beauty Clan Leader contemplated briefly.

The residual heavenly might had been collected, and dwelling on who was undergoing the tribulation was pointless, as the Qingqiu Fox Race did not associate with the Human Race.

”Going back just like that?”

Tu Jiujiu felt stunned; this was entirely different from what she imagined.

Having left the Qingqiu Clan Land for the first time, she hadn’t experienced anything yet, hadn’t seen anything.

”You promised me you’d be obedient; if not, I won’t take you out again.”

The Beauty Clan Leader rolled her eyes, fully aware of her thoughts.

”I’m being obedient.”

Tu Jiujiu impatiently tugged at the Beauty Clan Leader’s arm, coquettishly pleading.

”Let’s go.”

The Beauty Clan Leader glanced around and decided not to linger.

”Clan Leader, did that person successfully pass the tribulation?”

Tu Jiujiu suddenly asked.

”Why are you asking this?”

The Beauty Clan Leader looked wary, knowing the little girl is surely trying to find an excuse to stay.

”Didn’t you say before that no one from the Human Race has passed the Celestial Tribulation?”

Tu Jiujiu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the Beauty Clan Leader paused.

Since inheriting as Clan Leader, there have been three celestial tribulations in the outside world, and each time she went out to collect the residual heavenly might, she only saw the scene of tribulation-goers dying or disappearing.

Moreover, not just her, the previous Clan Leader once said that she too had never seen anyone pass the tribulation.

This isn’t just about the Human Race!

The Celestial Tribulation seems like an insurmountable chasm, presenting itself before all living creatures.

This time, the Celestial Tribulation’s impact seemed less severe than before, and the tribulation-goer didn’t seem to be obliterated by the celestial lightning. It would be dishonest to say there wasn’t a bit of curiosity.

If somehow a Venerable emerged from the Human Race...

”Clan Leader, how about we search for this person undergoing the tribulation?”

Seeing it might work, Tu Jiujiu immediately tried to persuade.

”No.”

”There are many terrifying creatures in the outside world; they specialize in eating little foxes. If they capture you, you won’t be able to return ever again.”

The Beauty Clan Leader instinctively replied.

This little fox, ever since reading some ancient texts, has been filled with curiosity about the outside world. She’s been frightened like this more than once.

”But you’re here with me, Clan Leader.”

Tu Jiujiu hugged the Beauty Clan Leader’s arm, her soft, tender voice could soften even the hardest of hearts.

The Beauty Clan Leader frowned slightly; the little one’s grip was unexpectedly strong, almost able to squeeze her arm.
