424: How can you disturb my mind?

Three days later.

The world where the Dongxu Immortal Mansion was located strangely fell into a brief silence.

Then, the clouds above the sky began to churn incessantly; those were tribulation clouds.

But these tribulation clouds were strange, not the common black, but a white that seemed filled with Immortal charm.

In an instant, all the Tongtian Realm Great Power and Ascension Realm supreme beings in the entire Dongxu Immortal Mansion simultaneously looked up at the sky.

"Tribulation!" The Holy Master, Zhao Yujing, also awoke from his meditation and whispered.

This tribulation was not a Lightning Tribulation, but a tribulation for breaking through from the Faxiang Realm to the Tongtian Realm.

Normally, there is no Heavenly Tribulation when a Faxiang enters the Tongtian Realm.

However, if a Heavenly Pride who has broken the limit of the Nine Dharma Aspects breaks through, they will face a Heavenly Tribulation test.

Pass and live, fail and die; there is no third option.

"Breaking into the Tongtian Realm so quickly?!" Zhao Yujing felt a strange sense of urgency.

Because it went without saying that this Heavenly Tribulation was triggered by Lu Chen.

And Lu Chen only entered the Faxiang Realm when he was in Mystic Heaven; how long ago was that?

Just over half a year.

Breaking through a major realm in over half a year, and also cultivating the Thirty-Six Dharma Forms—it was unimaginable, simply unimaginable, what a monstrous cultivation speed this was.

One must know that even as an Immortal Reincarnation, Zhao Yujing himself had never had such a monstrous cultivation speed.

To speak of an embarrassing fact, Zhao Yujing wasn't even this fast when he broke through from the Dao Embryo Realm to the Yin God stage back then.

Don't tell him that three years from now, he, the Holy Master, hasn't ascended to the Ascension Immortal stage, yet Lu Chen, the Holy Son, has already ascended first.

At this moment, the new Holy Master, Zhao Yujing, dared not think any further and immediately sealed his five senses, beginning his quiet cultivation.

As for whether this Heavenly Tribulation could threaten Lu Chen, Zhao Yujing wasn't worried at all. He had easily passed this kind of Heavenly Tribulation back then. Could Lu Chen, who was even more monstrous than him, be stumped?

On the other side, the former Holy Master, Cang Qingxiao, opened his eyes in the Immortal Palace above the sky and looked up at the ceiling.

Although he had resigned from the Holy Son position, the new Holy Master, Zhao Yujing, was not a responsible person. He didn't care about anything, only focusing on closed-door cultivation, which left Cang Qingxiao, the former Holy Master who had already resigned, still busy non-stop.

Of course, Cang Qingxiao was happy to do so, because whether Zhao Yujing could ascend to the Immortal Realm would also affect him.

However, this Heavenly Tribulation at hand was truly overbearing!

"As expected of the new Holy Son who has cultivated the Thirty-Six Dharma Forms. Looking at the aura of this Heavenly Tribulation, it's extraordinary!" Cang Qingxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

He wasn't worried that Lu Chen wouldn't be able to pass this Heavenly Tribulation, because worrying was useless.

This kind of Heavenly Tribulation is not a Lightning Tribulation; it cannot be interfered with by external forces.

It could be wind, or fire, or even invasion by external demons, and so on. It all originates from within, and only with sufficient personal strength can one pass through it.

He wondered what kind of Heavenly Tribulation Lu Chen, this peerless Heavenly Pride who had cultivated the Thirty-Six Dharma Forms, would face.

At this moment, Cang Qingxiao was actually a little expectant.

He looked forward to seeing a Heavenly Tribulation never seen before, and expected Lu Chen to create a miracle and set a precedent. Only then could Lu Chen's extraordinary and powerful nature be displayed.

It was also at this moment that Cang Qingxiao's expression became serious.

Because the churning tribulation clouds above the sky suddenly condensed, and then, Immortal light burst out from within, flashing and disappearing in an instant.

But it was precisely in this fleeting moment that Cang Qingxiao keenly captured that beam of Immortal light.

"Is that... a dao venerable?!" A look of shock, horror, and disbelief appeared in Cang Qingxiao's eyes.

He saw clearly that the dao venerable, formed by the convergence of Immortal light, wore a dao crown and a dao robe. The dao crown was inscribed with ancient dao venerables, mysterious and unfathomable, seemingly possessing immeasurable Divine Power. The dao robe was embroidered with the river of time, formed by the convergence of all eras of light and shadow, vast and endless, with no discernible beginning or end, yet it gathered all the heavens and myriad realms, all supreme Heavenly Pride, and outstanding individuals.

Mysterious, powerful, immeasurable.

However, the face of this dao venerable was blurred, reflecting rules and order, mystery and profundity.

Just by looking at it, one after another spiritual light seemed to flash in Cang Qingxiao's Sea of Consciousness. These were insights into Laws, profound understanding of Divine Power, and the subversion of the order of heaven and earth. All these converged, transforming into a surging torrent of spiritual light that erupted at the same instant.

Cang Qingxiao only felt his soul vibrating, as if splitting into countless selves, countless streams of consciousness.

Some consciousnesses were saying, 'This is correct!'

Other consciousnesses were saying, 'Divine Power should be cultivated this way!'

And another consciousness said, 'Previous cultivation went astray; you must turn back!'

"No, this is wrong, I'm going to fall into depravity!" Sweat beaded on Cang Qingxiao's forehead, and his entire body was instantly soaked in sweat!

He woke up immediately, forcefully suppressed the eruption of all those so-called 'spiritual lights', and his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness transformed into a heavenly blade, cutting everything down.

Only then did he recover!

"How... how can this be so terrifying!" Cang Qingxiao was greatly alarmed.

He was already an Ascension Immortal existence, yet he nearly fell into depravity just by looking at the 'dao venerable' form manifested by the Heavenly Tribulation!

Then how terrifying and dreadful must this Heavenly Tribulation be?!

"Lu Chen, you absolutely must not fall in this Heavenly Tribulation!"

He had just taken the Holy Son position, the Heavenly Gate had not opened, and the barrier between the Human Realm and the Upper Realm had not yet broken. If he were to die in the Heavenly Tribulation at this time...

Before this, Cang Qingxiao had never worried about the Heavenly Tribulation Lu Chen would face when breaking through the Tongtian Realm. After all, he himself passed, Zhuang Hao passed, and Zhao Yujing also passed; there was no reason Lu Chen couldn't pass.

But now, Cang Qingxiao was more worried than ever before.

Because he, an Immortal of the Human Realm, nearly fell into depravity just by looking at it. So, what great terror must Lu Chen, the one undergoing the tribulation, face?

It was unimaginable, and impossible to imagine.

Because the terror within could only be known by Lu Chen himself.

And at this moment, Lu Chen was indeed facing great terror.

As he sat cross-legged in the Dao Clarity Treasure Liquid, he suddenly felt an Immortal light descend from the sky, instantly piercing through the Void and crashing straight into his glabella and Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, everything in front of Lu Chen's eyes inverted.

He felt as if he was in a sea of stars, with a profound and unfathomable 'dao venerable' standing before him, infinitely vast, infinitely mysterious, like the interweaving of Dao and logic, and like a supreme existence descending across time and space.

It was indescribable and ineffable.

But when this existence ignored everything and directly intruded into his Sea of Consciousness, things instantly became different.

The existence formed by the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be originally a part of himself, an aura dispersed throughout heaven and earth, integrated with the Dao and logic of heaven and earth, and now returning to its origin, wanting to 'discuss Dao' with his soul in the Sea of Consciousness.

It was also as if the Dao marks of ancient Dao achievers, left in heaven and earth, inexplicably crossed the light and shadow, wanting to discuss Dao with him across myriad ages.

Without any warning, as soon as the existence formed by the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, Lu Chen's soul within his Nascent Soul began to tremble. The various rule insights that had transformed into divine rings were also trembling at this moment.

Because Lu Chen's soul, in this instant, erupted with countless flashes of insight into the path of cultivation.

These flashes of light collided, producing even more flashes of light, and thus, he began to doubt the rules, true meanings, and even all the cultivation he had previously comprehended.

"So that's how it is, the path I've walked was all wrong!"

"I should abandon all my previous cultivation and rewalk the path!"

In this instant, as Lu Chen's soul faced the 'dao venerable' before him, wearing a dao crown and a dao robe, with even its face inscribed with the Dao and logic of heaven and earth, countless similar thoughts arose.

But at the same moment, from the depths of Lu Chen's soul, a most resolute thought emerged: "My Dao is not wrong."

"Heaven and Earth Tribulation Demons, how dare you disturb my Dao Heart!"
