Chapter 136: The Eve of the Tribulation
A long time ago—
Liu Baoshan had already seen that Xu Zhengyang was no ordinary person and would one day soar to the heavens!
Especially that time in the Rotten Bone Forest.
It had completely solidified Liu Baoshan’s determination. He even resolved to offer his own core divine ability, the Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes, as dowry—
He wanted to marry his daughter to Xu Zhengyang.
Unfortunately, although Liu Jingya had a beautiful appearance, her talent and comprehension were mediocre, and she truly couldn’t catch Xu Zhengyang’s eye.
Even when Liu Baoshan finally compromised and was willing to let Liu Jingya become Xu Zhengyang’s concubine...
Xu Zhengyang remained unmoved.
In the end—
Through Xu Zhengyang’s mediation—
Although Liu Jingya became Pei Zhen’s registered disciple, Liu Baoshan still felt immense regret afterward.
He regretted that he had made his decision too late...
But at this very moment—
A hint of relief suddenly appeared on Liu Baoshan’s face.
He thought to himself:【Where misfortune lies, fortune hides.
Though I was poisoned by Gu and forced to prematurely undergo Disassembly, it just so happened that I became the first Foundation Establishment cultivator to enter the Reemployment Center for Disassembled Cultivators!
The Sect Master has already agreed to the Third Young Master.
If the Third Young Master succeeds in his tribulation, then this method will be promoted first on Divine Mechanism Peak.
At that time—
As the first Tier 2 Soul Cultivator to enter the Reemployment Center for Disassembled Cultivators, I will have an absolute head start over everyone else!
As long as I study diligently—
And gain a foothold in this Reemployment Center ahead of others—
Once the Third Young Master spreads his wings in the future...
I will be the first among his dragon-following ministers!】
Thinking of this—
Liu Baoshan suddenly felt the heavens and earth grow wide, his thoughts flowing freely, and couldn’t help but smile!
……
After sending off Gao Ge and Liu Jingya that day, Xu Zhengyang devoted all his attention to the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation.
As time passed—
With his steady and methodical cultivation, the spiritual mechanism in Xu Zhengyang’s body finally condensed to its peak. His dantian was full like a bright moon!
In the instant his spiritual mechanism became saturated—
A trace of fierce and pure Yang potential suddenly rose in Xu Zhengyang’s heart!
Though faint and fleeting, it was undoubtedly real.
Xu Zhengyang’s heart was as clear as a mirror.
At this moment, with just a single thought, he could summon the tribulation and break through!
“Finally, this day has come!”
After uttering these words, Xu Zhengyang stopped several of the techniques he had delegated to the Technique Manager for the first time.
Moments later—
After stepping out of the Spiritual Pivot Puppet, Xu Zhengyang summoned the Su Sisters and gave them instructions.
Then, he immediately activated his Martial Qi, launched the Azure Sky Crane Feather, and flew toward the Divine Mechanism Palace!
……
Moments later—
Upon seeing Pei Zhen, Xu Zhengyang said directly, “Master, I have completed my cultivation and can summon the tribulation cloud at any time!”
“So soon!”
Pei Zhen looked at Xu Zhengyang with emotion and said, “I had no intention at first—it was merely a stroke of fate.
But never did I imagine...
You would actually reach the expectations I had for you—and even touch a height that I never did...”
“All that I have today is thanks to Master’s dedicated guidance,” Xu Zhengyang respectfully bowed to Pei Zhen.
“Enough, enough.”
Pei Zhen waved his hand and helped Xu Zhengyang up, saying, “Even with such conditions, how many others would train with such tireless effort day and night?
While the cultivation resources I gave you were important—
What mattered more—
Was your unwavering Dao Heart!”
After that—
Pei Zhen shifted the topic and asked Xu Zhengyang, “Then when do you plan to undergo your tribulation?”
Xu Zhengyang responded confidently, “I’m fully prepared and can summon the tribulation cloud at any time!”
“Good!”
Pei Zhen clapped Xu Zhengyang’s shoulder with satisfaction and said, “That’s the spirit you should have!”
With that—
Pei Zhen immediately took out a Messaging Talisman, spoke a few words into it, and crushed it. Then he said to Xu Zhengyang, “I need to prepare a few things. Go call your Senior Brother.
In a quarter of an hour—
The three of us will head to the Lightning-Summoning Platform together!”
“Yes, Master.”
Xu Zhengyang responded and immediately went to find Xing Yong.
……
A quarter of an hour later—
When Pei Zhen brought Xu Zhengyang and Xing Yong to the Lightning-Summoning Platform at the summit of Celestial Mechanism Peak—
Xu Zhengyang saw that not only were Chen Qiang, Head of Mysterious Mechanism Peak, and Gong Jin, Head of Spirit Mechanism Peak, already waiting there with their disciples—
Even the Sect Master, Master Xuan Yin, was present!
After Pei Zhen’s small flying vessel landed, the three of them bowed in unison to Master Xuan Yin, “Greetings, Sect Master (Senior Brother).”
“No need for formalities.”
Master Xuan Yin waved his hand, then used a technique to scan Xu Zhengyang from head to toe.
Satisfied, he said, “Not bad!
Your spiritual mechanism is perfected without leakage;
Your divine sense is as clear as a mirror;
Your qi and blood surge like a dragon!
To have a disciple like you in this generation of the True Essence Sect, I—your Sect Master—can truly honor our founder!”
“Sect Master flatters me.”
Xu Zhengyang quickly bowed again and said, “All my accomplishments today are due to the full support of the sect!”
“All right.”
Master Xuan Yin curled his lips and said, “No need for more polite words.
Today, the only spectators here are the three direct bloodlines of our True Essence Sect—you don’t need to worry about leaks.
If things go as you claim—
And you truly have a method to help all Tier 1 disciples safely overcome tribulation and absorb pure Yang True Qi to the fullest...
Then the promise I made to you will take effect immediately!”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Xu Zhengyang respectfully bowed to Master Xuan Yin, “This disciple will do his utmost and not betray the sect’s nurture!”
……
Gong Jin and Chen Qiang had been summoned to the Lightning-Summoning Platform by Master Xuan Yin on short notice.
At first, they were speculating which Supreme Elder was nearing the end of their lifespan and needed to risk a tribulation...
But they never imagined that the protagonist would be Xu Zhengyang!
Especially after hearing the conversation between Master Xuan Yin and Xu Zhengyang, Chen Qiang was deeply shocked and immediately transmitted a message to Gong Jin:
【Junior Brother Gong, you’ve read many books.
Have you ever come across any ancient records describing a method that allows Tier 1 cultivators to safely undergo tribulation while absorbing pure Yang True Qi to the fullest extent?】
Gong Jin replied without hesitation, 【Never.】
After the transmission—
Gong Jin and Chen Qiang exchanged a glance and saw astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Then, with anticipation, everyone’s gaze fell upon Xu Zhengyang at the center of the Lightning-Summoning Platform!
……
At the same time, at the center of the platform—
Master Xuan Yin looked at Xu Zhengyang with admiration and asked, “Is there anything else you need to prepare?”
“All preparations are complete.”
Xu Zhengyang confidently replied, “I respectfully ask Sect Master to allow me to undergo tribulation here and now!”
“Granted!”
Master Xuan Yin replied with satisfaction.
Although Master Xuan Yin did not know what method Xu Zhengyang would use to get through this Heavenly Tribulation—
Seeing Xu Zhengyang’s confidence—
He was quite impressed with his boldness and added, “If everything turns out as you said—
Then in the future, the position of Sect Master...
Might just be yours to contend for!”
