Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1194: Thunder Tribulation (Part 2)

After several days, he finally started to operate his cultivation technique. His entire being seemed to transform into a giant whale, devouring everything, as the misty spiritual energy filling every corner of the cave mansion was swept in without any resistance.

Under Li Zhirui’s conscious control, a massive Spirit Qi Vortex formed above his head, excluding everything but the Water and Wood Spiritual Qi, while also refining it initially.

Only at this point did he begin to absorb the spiritual energy!

The dantian, already filled to the brim with mana, began to pulsate slightly under the stimulation of a large amount of newly refined mana. Li Zhirui had to keep a constant watch to prevent any accidents from occurring.

At such a critical moment, even the slightest unexpected event could lead to a huge disaster!

Thump thump thump—

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the sound of a wildly thumping heart seemed to come from the dantian.

As soon as this sound occurred, Li Zhirui knew the moment had arrived!

”Break for me!”

Already having touched the threshold of the Realm of Human Immortality, he now easily pushed it open. The dantian, previously overflowing, expanded to an unknown extent in an instant, as the external spiritual energy was absorbed into the vortex at a faster pace to fill the newly added space.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The originally sunny and clear sky outside suddenly experienced a gust of wind, and the heavens turned pitch-black in an instant.

But upon closer inspection, it was evident that it wasn’t a terrifying cosmic disaster causing day to turn into night, but layers of tribulation clouds blocking out the sun.

”What happened? Why did the sky suddenly go dark?”

”Could it be devil beasts or demon cultivators attacking Shanyang City?!”

Some loose cultivators in the city became extremely fearful, dreading that they might encounter a horrible calamity, and fled towards the city outskirts in panic.

Little did they know, if a real danger arrived, they would be the first to perish, being the ones trying to flee!

Seeing the situation about to descend into chaos, a few individual immortals stood out at the critical moment, joining forces to suppress the impending disorder. They loudly proclaimed, ”Have you not noticed that this is a Thunder Tribulation of the Realm of Human Immortality!”

Boom!

Unexpectedly, this statement caused an even greater commotion.

Countless cultivators began searching for the protagonist undergoing the tribulation, for a human thunder tribulation was a rare opportunity that one might not encounter easily!

If one could gain any insight from it, they would surely benefit for a lifetime!

The owner of the leased cave mansion stepped forward, followed by several individual immortals, rushing towards the Sandbar Cave Mansion with the utmost speed.

Behind them was a massive black wave composed of countless cultivators.

Why is the price of breaking through in a cave mansion so exorbitantly high? A large part of it is to pay the cultivators who help protect during the tribulation.

The rest covers the costs of using the Spirit Vein and provides the shopkeeper’s profit, among other things.

Yet it must be admitted that the enormous amount of Spirit Stones Li Zhirui paid was extremely effective. Upon their arrival, they began clearing out all creatures within the range of the Thunder Tribulation!

Exactly! As long as the creatures possessed any cultivation, they would be cleared out.

It took only a few breaths to complete this task.

Then each of them stood at a corner, their expressions serious and vigilant, with their Divine Sense constantly monitoring in all directions. Any creature daring to intrude would face a lethal blow!

”Do you think this individual immortal can successfully break through?” Amid the gathering tribulation clouds, a bored loose cultivator idly inquired.

”He probably can. Otherwise, why spend a vast fortune to lease this cave mansion?”

”I hope this senior succeeds so that we can witness a complete thunder tribulation. That way, it will be easier to gain insights.”

”Really?” Nearby loose cultivators, hearing this stated for the first time, immediately asked.

”Of course, it’s true. Why would I deceive you for no reason?”

Now, even the previously indifferent loose cultivators started hoping the other could successfully pass the tribulation, thinking they might attain greater benefits!

But among the crowd, it was the individual immortals who were the most anxious.

Because their cultivation was closest, they could more easily comprehend the Dao Intent contained within this Thunder Tribulation, treating it as their most important opportunity at present.

If they could derive insights from this, their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, which would be an immensely good fortune!

However, precisely because of this, their concerns grew bigger, for the power of this Thunder Tribulation surpassed their understanding, being far more formidable than ordinary human thunder tribulations.

Faced with such a mighty Thunder Tribulation, could this unknown individual immortal succeed?

...

At the same time.

As the protagonist of the tribulation, Li Zhirui had already stepped out of the meditation chamber and arrived at the open space in the cave mansion specifically designed for tribulation transcending.

Standing there, his slender figure exuded tremendous confidence, as if the terrifying Thunder Tribulation from the Ninth Heaven was merely a spectacular display of fireworks.

Rumble rumble rumble—

At the first moment the tribulation clouds finished brewing, the Tribulation Thunder struck down with a roar, so swiftly and unexpectedly that no one anticipated it.

Some cultivators already couldn’t bear to keep their eyes open, unwilling to witness the harsh scene of being engulfed by the Tribulation Thunder.

But Li Zhirui reacted more swiftly, as one white lotus after another blossomed in the air, with countless emerald waves providing support below.

The Tribulation Thunder immediately spread out, transforming into a Thunder Pool, aiming to destroy the entirety of this Divine Power.

Yet the white lotus continuously perished and reborn, with no sign of disappearing, and as time went on, the number of destroyed white lotuses decreased.

It was because, through constant destruction and rebirth, the quality of the white lotus improved, with increased resistance to thunder.

Ultimately, the Tribulation Thunder was completely worn out.

Looking again at the white lotuses, Li Zhirui found some remaining broken thunder patterns on them.

Intending to gain a new kind of Spiritual Object, he planned to slowly wear down the next few Tribulation Thunders using the white lotus.

...

It was already the fifth Tribulation Thunder now, whose power was unknown, but far exceeded the previous ones. Li Zhirui estimated that the extensively strengthened white lotus was reaching its limit.

However, he was unaware of how shocking his actions were.

”Isn’t tribulation transcendence always terribly perilous, with the slightest mistake reducing one to charcoal by the Tribulation Thunder? How does the thunder’s power seem so weak to him, allowing him the leisure to temper Spiritual Objects?”

This scene truly left all observing cultivators slack-jawed, as they had never heard of such a situation before.

”But it also shows that this senior is either a madman or a genius!”

Another loose cultivator slowly remarked, ”And from the thickness of the Tribulation Thunder, and the range of the Thunder Tribulation, it’s not hard to see that he’s the latter!”

And while it looks simple, it is indeed very challenging to replicate, as it’s entirely sustained by immense mana.

If one doesn’t possess as thick and abundant mana as Li Zhirui, or a significant amount of Spiritual Objects for mana restoration, they must never attempt this, lest they die without a burial place.

Crack—

The sixth and seventh Tribulation Thunders unexpectedly descended one after another, their speeds so exaggeratedly fast that even Li Zhirui was a beat slow to react, too quick for many cultivators to see.

If he hadn’t yet retracted his Divine Power, with countless white lotuses still there, securing a breath of time, the tribulation attempt might have failed!

Thinking of this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat, shattering the burgeoning pride from easily withstanding the previous five tribulation thunders, becoming even more steady.

Crash—

Two Water Dragons flew out from the white lotuses, entangling with the two Tribulation Thunders, but soon, the Water Dragons thinned significantly, while the power of the Tribulation Thunder remained unchanged.

His internal mana declined rapidly, then two Wood Dragons appeared, continuously attacking the Tribulation Thunder, diminishing its energy.

Through ongoing attrition, the two Tribulation Thunders completely dissipated.

”Only the last two Tribulation Thunders remain!”

If he could withstand them successfully, he’d break through and achieve Human Immortal cultivation!

Li Zhirui looked up at the still terrifying Thunder Tribulation, attempting to gaze through the heavy tribulation clouds to perceive the power of the last two Tribulation Thunders.

His heartbeat raced with excitement, yet his Mental State was extraordinarily tranquil.
