Lonemoon felt that as an invader, an invader with a mission at that, Shu Yi would not keep a low profile. There was no news now, perhaps it was because she had yet to fully control the demonic Qi in her body, and it would come out on its own soon.
However, before she could make a move, Tian Yi had some unexpected gains a few years later. Tian Yi was already at the late stage of Soul Formation, but he had been stuck at the last step, unable to advance. Lonemoon's casual advice the last time seemed to have given Tian Yi a new direction. He directly threw himself into modifying elixirs, perhaps he was really talented in refining elixirs, not only did he really modify the Demon-Breaking Pill, but he also started to study other heaven-grade elixir recipes.
As time went by, he gained quite a bit. The entire Dan Xia Mountain would face a few pill tribulations from time to time, or there would be a few cauldrons exploding. Yet Tian Yi got more and more excited the more he practiced, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds. He was a core cultivator, apart from normal cultivation, core cultivators could also cultivate through the pill mist formed when refining elixirs. Tian Yi refined elixirs so crazily, his cultivation naturally improved as well, and it was a huge improvement.
Hence, he was about to ascend.
It was still early in the morning, as Tian Yi refined a cauldron of heaven-grade elixirs, the sky suddenly darkened. A huge bolt of lightning the likes of which no one in Gui Yi Sect had ever seen before suddenly descended from the sky. Then … it went around Nameless Peak above and landed on Dan Xia Peak below with a loud boom. In an instant, Tian Yi's cave abode and a few other palaces beside it were smashed into pieces.
Before anyone could react, the entire sect's Protective Mountain Array was suddenly activated, but it still could not block the vast power of heaven and earth. Sect Master Yu Luan hurriedly flew over from the main peak, only then did he see that frighteningly thick bolt of lightning. And the black thunderclouds in the sky.
"This … could this be …" Yu Luan did not dare to believe his eyes.
"It's the Lightning Tribulation of Ascension." Yi Qing and Lonemoon, who just happened to be moving the spirit herbs over, looked at the sky together, then replied with certainty.
"Ascension!" Yu Luan was shocked, his expression slightly dazed. "Could the person in the lightning be … Uncle-Master Tian Yi!" Yu Luan was even more astonished, but his legs couldn't help but turn to jelly under the immense might of the Heavens and Earth. He felt as if he would be injured by the pressure in the air even if he took another look.
Tian Yi's lightning tribulation came too quickly. Moreover, it was early in the morning and the sky was not completely bright. That was why he did not notice it immediately. Lonemoon subconsciously wanted to conjure a seal to set up an array so that the others would not be affected. After all, this was the Ascension Lightning Tribulation. After some thought, he nudged Chef beside him. "You do it!"
Yi Qing paused. Why?
"It's safer if you set it up!" He added. After all, Chef was the boss of the one who struck the lightning bolt. Didn't he see that the Heavenly Dao even avoided Nameless Peak?
Yi Qing's face darkened, but he still turned around and flew out to set up the array. In a short while, a white array appeared around the Pill Peak. Even the Protective Mountain Array above their heads opened up a big hole from the top to facilitate the Heavenly Thunder.
Yu Luan also reacted and hurriedly went down to arrange for the disciples of Dan Xia Mountain to evacuate while telling the disciples of the other peaks to stay away. This was the Ascension Lightning Tribulation. It was different from other things. Disciples with lower cultivation levels might be suppressed by the vast pressure of heaven and earth just by looking at it. That would affect their cultivation. What's more, it was just the first Mental Demon Tribulation. The lightning tribulation later on would only get stronger and stronger.
The two of them were very fast. By the time Yi Qing was done setting up the array, Yu Luan had already evacuated most of the people. And Tian Yi had also successfully passed the Mental Demon Tribulation. The following lightning bolts struck one after another, illuminating Gui Yi Sect in a snow-white light. The entire Dan Xia Mountain was struck by the lightning bolts at a speed visible to the naked eye. Inch by inch, it turned into ashes. In less than 20 bolts of lightning, it was already half a length shorter.
What was amazing was that although the lightning bolts were fierce, no matter how they struck, not a single bit of the lightning pressure leaked outside of Dan Xia Mountain. It was as if they were targeted at a fixed point. The lightning bolts were extremely accurate and only aimed at Tian Yi's head.
Tian Yi, who was sitting in the middle, was using all his strength to resist the lightning tribulation. Although he had a feeling these few days that the Ascension Lightning Tribulation was about to arrive. That was why he was refining pills like crazy to accumulate some Spirit Qi so that he could pass the lightning tribulation in one go. But he did not expect to realize that the Ascension Lightning Tribulation was not as simple as he thought it would be.
The bolts of lightning seemed to want to split his entire body apart. The pain was comparable to a heart-wrenching, soul-crushing, and soul-shattering pain. He could only try his best to absorb the violent Spirit Qi around him and use the gaps between the lightning bolts to heal his injuries. The entire process was undoubtedly a complete transformation.
But he was indeed a complete transformation. The so-called Ascension Lightning Tribulation was originally a process for those who were attempting to ascend to immortality to shed their mortal bodies and grow immortal bones. And those who were going through the tribulation could only endure it. Tian Yi was already covered in blood, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. There were already faint signs of his immortal bones growing on his body.
Until the last bolt of lightning struck, Tian Yi used the last bit of Spirit Qi in his body to forcibly resist the lightning tribulation. The suffocating spiritual pressure in the surroundings became more and more solid. In an instant, it condensed into immortal Qi and began to surge wildly into Tian Yi's body, helping him to grow new immortal bones and at the same time, healing his injuries.
The bloody man who was on the verge of death just a moment ago was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the suppressive force on his body had completely changed. Tian Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel a sense of success.
At the same time, a golden ray of light broke through the layers of thunder clouds and descended from the sky, directly hitting his body. The world that was originally incomparably familiar to him suddenly felt a sense of rejection. Even his body felt light and he could not help but fly towards the sky.
"Success! Uncle-Master Tian Yi is about to ascend! "Yu Luan was overjoyed and could not help but blurt out. He was both excited and emotional. "It has been tens of thousands of years since anyone has successfully ascended here. I did not expect it to be Uncle-Master Tian Yi. This is great!"
Sensing that the danger had passed, the disciples all came out one after another. They looked at the descending heavenly light with excitement and surprise.
Tian Yi's figure was slowly flying towards the sky along with the light. He looked completely different. His entire body was filled with faint white immortal Qi. Just as he was about to fly into the realm gate above, he seemed to have thought of something. His figure paused and he suddenly turned around, wanting to return. But because he was not very familiar with the use of immortal Qi, he did not manage to restrain the power of the heavenly light. He was like a duck that could not swim. He waved his hand in the air a few times. Only then did he slowly descend halfway, but he still could not leave that heavenly light. He could only wave his hand and shout in this direction, "Brother Lonemoon, is Brother Lonemoon there?!"
For a moment, the gazes of the entire sect were all fixed on Lonemoon.
Yet Tian Yi's shout became louder and louder. He waved his hand at him forcefully. "Brother Lonemoon, hurry, hurry, come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you! "
Lonemoon: "…"
Damn it! Why do you have something to tell me? It's not like you don't have disciples.
