Chapter 2087
Boom!
A loud thunderclap left everyone dizzy, but it also reminded them that the Thunder Tribulation had started!
Amidst their casual chatter, the Thunder Tribulation had silently finished brewing.
And just the first Tribulation Thunder brought with it a terrifying pressure, making them hardly believe, unable to believe, that the subsequent Tribulation Thunders would be even more dreadful.
But this Tribulation Thunder, filled with the aura of destruction and devastation, was effortlessly blocked by Qingxuan.
The Tribulation Thunder continuously launched assaults, trying to break through this defense, but ultimately to no avail. When its energy was exhausted, the first Tribulation Thunder was completely overcome.
Perhaps too much time had been wasted before, for soon the second Tribulation Thunder descended.
Yet this seemingly powerful Tribulation Thunder, in Qingxuan's eyes, was not much different from certain attacking Divine Powers, unable to inflict serious harm on him.
...
As time went by, Qingxuan safely passed through eight Tribulation Thunders, and judging by his current state, he remained unaffected, as if untouched at all.
The last Tribulation Thunder remained, and as long as he passed it safely, he would only have another challenge left before his breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal.
Given Qingxuan's Dao Heart and Mental State, he had no need to worry about the Heart Demon Tribulation; for him, it might even be easier than the previous Thunder Tribulation.
The observing clan members relaxed a lot, after all, based on his previous performance, Qingxuan stood a very high chance of successfully resisting the Tribulation Thunder.
Rumble——
As the last Tribulation Thunder descended with a deafening roar, the broad thunder slashed across the sky, tearing through the curtain of clouds, and the gloomy heavens suddenly brightened.
The next moment, the Tribulation Thunder penetrated multiple layers of space, appearing directly above Qingxuan's head, then pouring down frantically, completely engulfing him.
The flashes of lightning and the brilliance were so piercing that the clan members observing from afar couldn't see what was happening inside.
The unknown situation was what worried them the most!
"Qingxuan Spirit Ancestor should be able to pass this tribulation safely, right?"
"With the Spirit Ancestor's formidable strength, it surely won't be a problem, rest assured."
Qingpeng and Qingcang, standing at the forefront, also had strong confidence in him and did not believe that this Tribulation Thunder would cause him any harm.
Indeed!
After half an hour of battling with the Tribulation Thunder, its size shrank by half, and everyone could see the measures he took after being engulfed by the thunder.
Above his head appeared a towering great mountain, which at first glance conveyed a sense of weighty sturdiness. It was precisely this Life-bound Magic Treasure that allowed Qingxuan to remain unscathed while battling the Tribulation Thunder.
Even faced with a already greatly diminished Tribulation Thunder, he did not actively attack, continuing to slowly exhaust its power instead.
Qingxuan did this not out of lack of confidence, but to seize the opportunity to restore more Mana.
However, the Tribulation Thunder did not last long, soon breaking into shattered Thunder Light and dissipating with the wind.
Before he could catch his breath, a streak of black light descended from the sky, entering directly into his Sea of Consciousness.
Roar!
This Outer Heaven Demon hurriedly slipped into Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness, but was met with a heart-stirring beast roar upon arrival.
Above the Sea of Consciousness lay a giant turtle as large as a mountain, an anomaly that appeared after Qingxuan practiced the Observation Method in conjunction with his bloodline.
Upon detecting an intruding abnormal being, the first thing the giant turtle did was to observe it and then directly suppress it underfoot!
In mere moments, the Outer Heaven Demon recovered, only to find itself already immobilized.
No matter how it struggled, it could not escape the giant turtle's suppression.
Thus, it chose to adopt a different approach to its predicament, never expecting that its most prized skill, the Heart Demon Illusion Realm, would fail to function under suppression!
At that point, it had no choice but to give in, becoming nourishment and resources to further Qingxuan's Spiritual Soul.
Meanwhile, corresponding changes occurred in the outside world. The Tribulation Clouds transformed into vast amounts of Pure Spiritual Energy, paving a path for his breakthrough.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, with not a single problem arising, as Qingxuan successfully broke through to Heavenly Immortal!
With a boom, his powerful aura swept far and wide.
His breakthrough not only enhanced his personal strength but also fortified the entire clan, signifying that even after Li Zhirui's transcendence, the Li family remained a formidable Heavenly Immortal power!
"Let me consolidate my realm, then discuss the Dao with everyone!"
Before the words had even faded, Qingxuan's figure disappeared.
Speaking of which, the Li family's current development is in a rather peculiar state.
Though it is an Immortal Tao family, it is predominantly led by Divine within the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but claiming the Li family as a Divine Path power wouldn't be quite fitting as there are few Divine within the Li family itself.
The mountain and river Divine of Shanhai State are choices made by the fallen members of the Li family; hardly anyone actively joins them.
This peculiar blend of Immortal and Divine paths benefits the Li family in the current epochal trend.
Whether it is the Immortal Tao or the Divine Path, the Li family has ties to both, allowing for strategic transitions in the future.
The clan members observing the Thunder Tribulation dispersed.
"It's curious, isn't it? Every few thousand years, a great war breaks out, yet recently, there hasn't been a shadow of it. Instead, all factions and powers are focusing on their cultivation?"
On the way back to the Divine Domain, Qingpeng expressed his disappointment, as he was hoping for a grand battle with a Heavenly Immortal.
"Hmm? You're right!"
Qingcang noticed it as well and, upon careful sensing, said, "The world's Evil Qi and Catastrophic Qi are quite scarce, not at all what you'd expect after thousands of years of accumulation."
"What's going on, then?"
Although they spotted something odd, they couldn't pinpoint the cause, and could only decide to keep an eye on things, hoping to discover the truth someday.
Unbeknownst to them, deep within the Underground Yin World, the Earth Element Lady was seated near the Polluted Sea, continuously purifying the ever-growing filth of the world.
Her purification efforts are what delayed the outbreak of worldly catastrophes!
As the saying goes, 'One may advance or retreat in the face of the Dao; different skills shine in different fields!'
Though the Earth Element Lady's path did not center around the Purification Principle, she did what she could, slowly purifying instead of fully clearing the Polluted Sea like Li Zhirui could.
Additionally, she secretly made a trade with Shenling to gather Merit for her own transcendence and obtained a complete Earth Immortal Dao Cultivation Method.
However, she did not cultivate the method, for as a Heavenly Immortal, the Earth Element Lady could not rashly change her cultivation method. She merely absorbed parts that helped her own strengths.
For example, she quickly mastered the method that enhances Earth Qi and employed it within her Divine Domain.
And her Divine Domain was a very large piece of land!
Upon employing the method, the Earth Qi within the vast Divine Domain surged, impacting even the whole of the Primal Spirit Realm!
And the Earth Element Lady benefited significantly, directly through the Merit she had longed for!
"Little drops make an ocean, and grains of sand build a tower! With a few more thousand years of accumulation, all the causality might be resolved..."
Although it still seemed long, it was much better than before when it seemed endless.
...
The flowers may bloom in two places, each branch narrating its own story.
Now, as for Li Zhirui, upon acquiring those three incomplete cultivation manuals, he eagerly began his secluded cultivation and comprehension.
This time, however, he did not plan to deduce his cultivation method.
That process required too much time, and Li Zhirui couldn't afford such a large sum of Spirit Crystals to pay for the room.
So he only skimmed through them, and after ensuring there were no issues, planned to leave the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall of the commerce with Qing Si.
