Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1896: Chapter 1417: Provocation

Since Li Mingyao acted with low profile, even handling matters related to the Divine Path was left to the group of subordinate gods. He focused solely on seclusive cultivation, not appearing for hundreds of years.

Moreover, as a junior, Xiaoqing and Cang overlooked his existence during the earlier roll call.

”I was just contemplating whether one day we’ll be surpassed by juniors, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.” Xiaoqing had a wry smile on his face.

Although such situations are quite common in the Primal Spirit Realm, it is somewhat unsettling when it actually happens to oneself.

”Let’s go, since Ming Yao is undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, as his elders, we shouldn’t neglect our duty as protectors.” Cang accepted it quickly and even considered if he could learn something from him, which might benefit his own cultivation.

”Hmm.”

The two of them set off towards the Tribulation Transcendence site. By the time they arrived, a vast crowd of clansmen had already gathered, densely packed, standing outside the Thunder Tribulation zone.

Rumble——

The first Tribulation Thunder suddenly struck down with startling force. The powerful and terrifying explosive thunder made the onlookers shiver with fear, their faces overwhelmed with terror.

Yet Li Mingyao, with his feet on the earth, seemed to transform into a mountain, facing the Tribulation Thunder undaunted. No matter how terrifying the power, it couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

What seemed terrifying to outsiders, the Tribulation Thunder, he managed to pass safely and calmly using a seemingly simple technique through several waves of it.

”What an incredible technique!”

The others were astonished by Li Mingyao’s extraordinary technique, but Cang saw deeper into it; he clearly possessed a profound mastery over the Earth Path.

That’s why he could transform into a mountain and channel the force of the Tribulation Thunder into the earth, thus neutralizing it. He actually bore only a small portion of the force, so it didn’t harm him.

This realization also changed Cang’s impression of Li Mingyao. Initially, he thought he relied on his Divine Position and Divine Task to advance to a Heavenly Immortal. But now it seems that comprehension of the Laws of the Great Tao is also a significant aspect.

”Isn’t this the seventh Tribulation Thunder?”

Another Tribulation Thunder slowly dissipated in front of the crowd. Li Mingyao’s condition remained excellent, without the usual fatigue and embarrassment ordinarily matching Tribulation Transcendence at this point.

Clan members gazed with envy at Li Mingyao, standing in the center of the Thunder Tribulation. If they also had such skills, their success rate in overcoming Tribulation Transcendence would greatly increase!

However, it was obvious enough that this couldn’t simply be a basic Secret Technique, even if they wanted to learn, they probably didn’t have the qualification.

Boom!

As the eighth Tribulation Thunder danced wildly in mid-air like a True Dragon, carrying the power to destroy everything and rushed towards Li Mingyao, his expression changed for the first time.

He swiftly formed incantation seals with both hands, conjuring earth shields and stone walls above his head, layer upon layer whose number was unknown.

But these solid defenses were as flimsy as paper before the Tribulation Thunder, easily penetrated and shattered in multiple layers.

Fortunately, Li Mingyao’s reaction speed was quick enough, employing a massive number of defensive measures, continuously consuming the force of the Tribulation Thunder, thereby overcoming this calamity unscathed.

”Even the Thunder Tribulation of a Divine with a Divine Position, favored by the heavens, is so terrifying; wouldn’t it be even more exaggerated for us cultivators?” Many clansmen’s faces changed.

They couldn’t understand, clearly the Primal Spirit Realm had advanced, so why had the path of cultivation become more arduous?

This was a doubt in many low-level cultivators’ hearts. But in reality, the world’s ascension doesn’t just mean the environment improves; the Heavenly Dao becomes more complete!

And as the number of high-grade lifeforms increases, the pressure on the world mounts, resources consumed also increase; this is not beneficial for world development and the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the more complete the Heavenly Dao, the more restrictions on high-grade lifeforms will be. Like the twelve hundred years calamity, and the increase in the power of Thunder Tribulation, it’s all a necessary trend.

Perhaps in the future, the high-grade lifeforms of the Primal Spirit Realm might decrease, but their strength will undoubtedly be exceptional or have unique traits.

Otherwise, they might perish on the path of cultivation before they even grow.

Speaking of which,

the comparison between advantages and disadvantages of the Immortal Tao and Divine Path is very common and widespread.

However, cultivators often commit to the Divine Path, not for any other reason, but for that slight favor of the Heavenly Dao, which allows them to reduce the power of their Thunder Tribulation, thereby making it easier to transcend.

From this perspective, it seems that the Divine Path is more advantageous than the Immortal Tao.

While everyone was filled with all kinds of thoughts, the ninth Tribulation Thunder, which had brewed for a long time, finally shot out from the tribulation cloud.

Unlike the previous thundering roars of the earlier Tribulation Thunders, it was just a red thunderbolt cutting across the sky, like a ferocious Primordial Behemoth, fiercely pouncing toward Li Mingyao.

And this time, he did not merely defend passively but chose to take the initiative to strike, to meet the final Tribulation Thunder head-on!

The shadow of a towering giant mountain appeared above Li Mingyao’s head, supported by his hands, and he hurled it fiercely towards the Tribulation Thunder.

A mere shadow of the giant mountain rapidly solidified as it flew, and upon collision with the Tribulation Thunder, it seemed to possess a force weighing tens of thousands of tons, pressing down heavily.

Crack——

That Tribulation Thunder, which was like a giant dragon, seemed to have its waist snapped, its momentum plummeting; though still dangerous, it was not as exaggerated as it was at the start.

Soon, the regrouped Tribulation Thunder came up again actively, as if knowing that without breaching this giant mountain, it could not stop Li Mingyao.
