64: The entire clan mourns
"He failed..."
Watching the Heavenly Tribulation vanish, Han Li's pupils constricted.
The final tribulation, in the end, he still couldn't withstand it.
Under the Heavenly Tribulation, he was completely annihilated, not even a corpse remaining.
"Revered Master!"
Wu Wuji's figure flickered, instantly disappearing from his original spot. On the crystallized back mountain, only the remnants of a few Spirit Treasures were left. Feng Taixu's aura was completely erased.
"Whoosh—!!"
Han Li and the others followed closely, arriving together at the crystallized mountaintop.
In the air, the power of lightning still lingered.
Feng Taixu's figure had completely vanished.
The power unleashed by the final variant Heavenly Tribulation exceeded everyone's imagination.
Looking at the remnants of the few Spirit Treasures on the crystallized ground, everyone's expressions were extremely grim.
No one had expected that a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation would evolve into a variant Heavenly Tribulation.
He had passed the previous fifty-three Heavenly Tribulations, but he fell at the very last one.
Wu Wuji knelt down and picked up the remnants of the Spirit Treasures.
His face was extremely gloomy.
"Revered Master is dead, no... impossible! How could this be!"
Chen Qi shook her head, her eyes still filled with disbelief.
Tears glistened and streamed down her face.
"Junior Sister, please accept my condolences. This is the might of Heaven and Earth; human power cannot contend with it."
Beside her, Huangfu Yanran stroked Chen Qi's head, her expression equally troubled.
"No... it can't be, Revered Master wouldn't die,Woo woo..." Chen Qi's body trembled, and tears immediately gushed from her eyes.
Han Li stood rooted to the spot, looking at the crystallized ground, also finding it hard to believe.
He had thought it would be a sure thing, but he hadn't expected the final Heavenly Tribulation to undergo such a strange change.
According to the normal power of a Heavenly Tribulation, Revered Master would definitely have survived, but now... although it was hard to believe, the facts were laid out before them.
The few of them bowed their heads in silence, only Chen Qi's sobs breaking the quiet.
"Whoosh—!"
Just then, in the Void Realm, a sound of rushing air was heard, and a figure descended to the Void Realm of Yuhua Peak's back mountain with lightning speed.
It was none other than the Sect Leader of Qingyuan Sect.
At the same time, two other figures appeared: an old man dressed in gray robes, and an old woman dressed in purple robes.
The few of them immediately looked up.
Han Li also looked over.
He had seen the Sect Leader before, but he had never met the other two Elders.
However, he felt that the aura of these two Elders, like the Sect Leader, was unfathomable.
"Could it be that these two are the Grand Elders of Qingyuan Sect?"
A thought flashed through Han Li's mind, but he didn't speak.
Standing in the Void Realm, looking at the crystallized rocks, the Sect Leader and the two Elders' expressions were extremely grim.
The next second, their figures descended from the sky.
"Sect Leader, I have met the two Grand Elders," Wu Wuji said, his voice ringing out.
The others also followed suit.
The Sect Leader looked at the remnants of the Spirit Treasures in Wu Wuji's hand, his face ashen.
"Please accept my condolences. Even a God Realm expert cannot withstand the power of a variant Heavenly Tribulation..."
At this moment, the purple-robed old woman spoke.
"None of us expected such an accident to befall Elder Feng, but since it has happened, you still need to adjust your mindset, Cultivate diligently, and not let down Elder Feng's spirit in the Nine Heavens."
The gray-haired old man said, offering comfort.
Han Li and the others nodded silently.
"This Supreme will inform the entire Sect. All Elders and Disciples of the Sect shall observe three days of mourning and prayer for Elder Feng's passing."
The Sect Leader spoke. Wu Wuji looked at the Sect Leader and nodded gently.
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
"Please accept my condolences!"
The Sect Leader patted Wu Wuji's shoulder and sighed.
"Elder Feng's funeral will be held on Yuhua Peak. Although his body is gone, these few remnants of Spirit Treasures will serve as Elder Feng's remains," the Sect Leader said again.
Han Li and the others nodded.
Seeing this, the Sect Leader didn't say much more, his figure immediately flew away, disappearing from Yuhua Peak.
"You are all the favored children of the Sect. Life and death are fated. Elder Feng's unexpected passing is regrettable. You must work hard to Cultivate in the future to comfort Elder Feng's spirit in the Nine Heavens," the purple-robed old woman said.
"Yes."
The few of them nodded, and then the two Grand Elders also disappeared.
Watching the two Grand Elders leave, Wu Wuji turned back to Han Li and the others, saying, "Since this is where Revered Master underwent his tribulation, let's bury Revered Master's Spirit Treasure remnants here."
"We will follow Senior Brother's arrangements." The few of them nodded.
Wu Wuji said no more. He raised a hand, and a powerful Innate True Qi erupted. He pointed a finger at the crystallized ground, instantly blasting open a deep pit.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a huge jade stone appeared before them.
He took out a Spirit Sword and wielded it. Under his control, this huge jade stone instantly transformed into a Spirit Coffin.
He carefully placed the remnants of the Spirit Treasures into the Spirit Coffin.
Then, his True Qi lifted the Spirit Coffin and placed it into the pit. He again unleashed True Qi to fill the pit. From his hundred treasure sack, he produced a white jade stone taller than a man. True Qi poured into his finger, and in an instant, he inscribed several large characters on the smooth white jade stone.
Tomb of Revered Master Feng Taixu!
"Thud!"
The jade stele was firmly inserted into the ground, as stable as a mountain.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The few of them immediately knelt down and kowtowed before the jade stele.
After kowtowing, looking at the jade stele, Han Li's heart was filled with complex emotions.
This Revered Master, until now, he had only met a few times.
But his support for him was considerable.
He was also his guide on the Martial Dao.
"The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable!"
Han Li sighed in his heart.
He had thought it would succeed, but no one had expected such an accident to occur.
The last Heavenly Tribulation was actually a variant Heavenly Tribulation!
Under the might of Heaven, life and Dao were extinguished.
If there hadn't been a variant Heavenly Tribulation, then Breakthrough to the God Realm would have been a certainty.
But alas, changes are unpredictable, and this tribulation became the last tribulation of his life... "These next few days, I will make arrangements. You all will also temporarily stay on Yuhua Peak to keep vigil for Revered Master," Wu Wuji said to everyone.
"Yes!"
Han Li and the others nodded.
"Go back and change your clothes first, let's go."
Wu Wuji spoke. The few of them glanced at the jade stele and then left... "He failed?"
When the news spread, the entire Qingyuan Sect was shaken.
Everyone found the situation unbelievable.
But the news was personally announced by the Sect Leader, so even if they couldn't believe it, the fact remained unchanged.
The news, once released, was like a super earthquake sweeping across the entire Qingyuan Sect, stirring up monstrous waves.
Feng Taixu ultimately perished under the God Realm Heavenly Tribulation, and it was during the very last tribulation.
This caused many Elders within the School to sigh with regret.
To perish halfway through might be due to insufficient strength, but to perish during the last tribulation was truly an accident.
A Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation unexpectedly evolving into a variant Heavenly Tribulation was an unforeseen and unpredictable event that no one could have imagined.
The news, like a storm, impacted the entire Qingyuan Sect.
The final step, and life and Dao were extinguished.
This was truly a great pity.
If he had successfully stepped in, the Qingyuan Sect's status in the entire Qing Province, and even in the Nine Heavens of the Wu Dynasty, would have been different.
But alas, during the final life-and-death hurdle, such an unforeseen event occurred.
The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, and accidents are hard to foresee.
For the entire Qingyuan Sect, this was an unprecedented loss.
The influence of a top Supreme on a School was unquestionable.
But an accident just had to happen.
The losses, both before and after, were immeasurable.
And since the outcome was already this, even if they didn't believe it, they had to accept the fact... Within a day, white mourning streamers fluttered throughout the entire Qingyuan Sect.
No one dared to defy the Sect Leader's order, even those who had some disagreements with Yuhua Peak also displayed white mourning streamers.
On Yuhua Peak, behind the mountain, before Feng Taixu's tombstone, Han Li and his other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters kept vigil.
At the same time, countless Elders from the School came to pay their respects at the Spirit Tomb.
Within the Sect, a grand memorial service was also held!
White mourning streamers fluttered!
Losing an Innate expert might not warrant such a display, but Feng Taixu was only one tribulation away from entering the God Realm, and he was also one of the Peak Revered Masters of the Thirty-Six Peaks. Therefore, his memorial service was held on a scale befitting a God Realm expert.
All Disciples and Elders in the Sect had to attend.
The entire Sect mourned!
