Chapter 93: Chen Daoxuan's Breakthrough to the Profound Sky Realm, the Resonating Thunder Trib

"Merely a Heavenly Tribulation, is there anything true or false about it? What's this, Yanran? Are you curious about Heavenly Tribulations? However, observing a Heavenly Tribulation might provide some assistance to both of you in your cultivation and mental state.

"Well… alright, you two wait for a moment."

Chen Daoxuan heard his disciples' words, raising an eyebrow slightly. He then thought that he had sufficient system points to use. After his two disciples finished their training, he had over 110,000 system points. If he used 100,000 of them to break through to the Profound Sky Realm, he would still have 10,000 left to deal with any potential emergencies.

Furthermore, after their recent training, Yanran had already broken through to the Unity Realm, while Chen Daoxuan, their Master, had only reached the Void Sky Realm. The disparity was significant and quite a blow to his self-esteem.

"Ah?"

Leng Yanran was slightly perplexed by her Master's words. She had only wanted to verify the truth of Chi Yun's statement. Why did her Master seem to be planning an on-the-spot demonstration?

While she was indeed curious about Heavenly Tribulations, she couldn't let her Master risk attracting a Heavenly Tribulation just to demonstrate it to her!

Immediately, Leng Yanran intended to voice her objection.

"Yay! Master, could you let Yourong have a sip of the spiritual liquid later?"

Li Yourong's eyes brightened, and she excitedly hopped up. As for Chi Yun beside her, he remained stunned in place. What was going on?

Wasn't he supposed to have found someone to share his shock with? Yet, the Pavilion Master was planning to provoke a Heavenly Tribulation to allow the two young ladies to observe and gain insight into the cultivation state of a Heavenly Tribulation?

He wondered if Heavenly Tribulations were really so cheap…

Whenever Chi Yun thought he had already pushed his assessment of the Pavilion Master's strength to the limit, the Pavilion Master would always shatter his understanding anew!

"System, convert 100,000 system points into 100,000 years of cultivation."

Ignoring the reactions of others, Chen Daoxuan silently commanded.

He had originally planned to break through at some point, and now he could use this opportunity to train the mental states of his two disciples. After all, system points were only points until they were used, and only when used did they become true cultivation!

[Ding, 100,000 system points consumed, successfully converted into 100,000 years of cultivation.]

As the system prompt sounded, Chen Daoxuan's aura was laid bare, and the dense pressure he emitted even distorted the space around him. Leng Yanran and the others, retreating in fear, were astonished to find that the aura seemed to have no effect on them. Instead, Master controlled it within half a zhang's distance in front of him.

"It's coming!"

Chen Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing upwards. The sky, once clear for miles, suddenly became densely clouded. The clouds covered an area even larger than the last time, extending for thousands of li. The pitch-black sea of tribulation clouds shrouded the Illusory Void Mountain, causing all living beings to feel a sense of dread.

The more powerful the cultivator, the more panicked they felt, even wanting to flee at the sight of the tribulation clouds. Even those savage beasts without sentience cowered under the tribulation clouds, trembling and afraid to move.

As for the people in front of the Heavenly Dao Hall, being the epicenter of the locked-on tribulation clouds, they felt the pressure even more acutely.

Leng Yanran's brows furrowed, an inexplicable sense of panic washing over her, akin to facing life and death. At the same time, a tinge of worry crept into her gaze towards her Master. Even for the sake of allowing them to observe and gain insight, could her Master really attract a Heavenly Tribulation without any danger?

"Senior Sister, I'm scared… Master, Yourong is afraid... Could you please stop?"

Li Yourong clung to her Senior Sister's arm, her fear evident. She only dared to sneak a glance at the tribulation clouds overhead.

"This… This is definitely the Heavenly Tribulation of Transcending the Tribulation and Ascending to Immortality! Under this Heavenly Tribulation, all living beings will turn to ashes. If one can endure it, they will undoubtedly achieve the Dao and ascend to the Upper Realm!"

Shaking and trembling Chi Yun knelt down, bowing to the direction of the Pavilion Master. In his heart, tPavilion Master was already an immortal being. There was no other possibility; only an immortal could attract such a Heavenly Tribulation!

"Ah, Master, you're attracting another Heavenly Tribulation. Chacha is so scared!"

Even the Enlightenment Tea Tree awakened, sensing a more terrifying Heavenly Tribulation than before. It trembled slightly.

"This Heavenly Tribulation seems even more formidable than when ascending to immortality. Both of you, observe closely. It will be beneficial to your mental states. Even when you both face your Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to immortality in the future, you'll have some experience."

Chen Daoxuan remained handsomely composed, a breeze rustling his clothes. He even felt a hint of comfort. His cultivation began to soar at an incredible speed.

Within the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao Hall for several li, the spiritual energy became saturated to the extreme. Crystalized spiritual energy even condensed alongside the liquid spiritual liquid, all rushing madly toward Chen Daoxuan!

As a substantial amount of spiritual energy was absorbed, Chen Daoxuan's realm underwent a transformation.

Second Layer of the Void Sky Realm!

Third Layer of the Void Sky Realm!

Fourth Layer of the Void Sky Realm!

…

Ninth Layer of the Void Sky Realm!

When his cultivation reached the Ninth Layer of the Void Sky Realm, the tribulation clouds in the sky had begun to stir. Amidst flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder, a faint figure could be seen within the layers of clouds.

Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat strange. Could he be seeing things?

"Boom!"

The spiritual energy erupted once again. Chen Daoxuan's realm thoroughly broke through the bottleneck of the Void Sky Realm, reaching the Profound Sky Realm!

Throughout the process, everyone on the side could only shiver in trepidation. Even Li Yourong didn't dare to taste a sip of the spiritual liquid.

"So, this is the Profound Sky Realm? It seems to grant an additional special ability…"

Chen Daoxuan's eyes lit up. When he had previously broken through to the Void Sky Realm, his strength had only increased by a few hundredfold, without any special abilities emerging. This time, however, the breakthrough finally brought something new.

As Chen Daoxuan's aura surged into the Profound Sky Realm, the tribulation clouds had fully formed, and the thunder tribulation was ready to strike. Instead of immediately dispersing the tribulation clouds this time, he gazed thoughtfully at them, attempting to find the faint figure that had appeared earlier.

"Rumble…"

The first thunder tribulation descended straight toward Chen Daoxuan. The originally dark and oppressive Illusory Void Mountain was illuminated by the thunder tribulation, creating a bright radiance. All living beings trembled suddenly.

The people in front of the Heavenly Dao Hall staggered, their eyes widening in extreme shock as they gazed fearfully at the cataclysmic thunder tribulation.

Thunderbolts as thick as water buckets fell unhindered onto Chen Daoxuan, enveloping him. Thin strands of lightning meandered like snakes across the ground, dissipating.

"Master!!!"

Seeing their Master actually enduring the thunder tribulation without evading, both Leng Yanran and Li Yourong were so terrified that they shouted aloud.

"Hiss… Comfortable!!!"
