175: The second-grade tribulation-crossing arena!

When Li Shengyuan completely broke free from the Heart Demon Tribulation, the world changed color!

The power of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations instantly became much more violent!

But the current Li Shengyuan was no longer passively enduring it; his physical body and divine soul went to the Ancient Demon Avatar and Ancient God Embodiment respectively.

Without even needing the Nine Heavenly Tribulations to fall on him, a massive suction force emerged from Li Shengyuan, and the surrounding heavenly tribulation began to pour into his body continuously!

The purest primordial power of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, under Li Shengyuan's refinement, began to integrate into his physical body, divine soul, and embodiments, constantly strengthening him!

The best material for condensing a Heaven and Earth Embodiment was undoubtedly the pure primordial power of heaven and earth from the heavenly tribulation!

However, Li Shengyuan's whale-like cultivation method instantly left everyone at Shanhai Pass dumbfounded!

Sounds of gasps filled the air, and soon discussions erupted at Shanhai Pass.

"Hiss... Oh my heavens, is he still undergoing a heavenly tribulation? Are you sure he's not cultivating with the power of the heavenly tribulation?!"

"This heavenly tribulation is clearly much more terrifying than when he broke through to the Third Grade, but why does it feel easier?!"

"I can't even imagine how strong Lord Li will be after passing the heavenly tribulation!"

"..."

While excited, Li Mu and the others also let out a long sigh of relief, revealing long-lost smiles.

"Sect Master Fang, in your opinion, Shengyuan's breakthrough should be fine, right?" Li Mu asked Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin with a smile.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin smiled bitterly and nodded, "Don't laugh at me, but when I underwent this heavenly tribulation, I almost lost half my life..."

"Given the current situation, Lord Li must have successfully passed the Heart Demon Tribulation. Since this invisible tribulation has already been overcome, and he's using the tangible Nine Heavenly Tribulations as heavenly treasures for condensing his embodiment, I can't imagine any other accident that could cause him to fail the tribulation!"

Everyone also showed relieved smiles upon hearing this.

Yue Xiyan and Yue Qingmeng, master and disciple, standing side by side not far away, both let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.

Clutching her master's arm, Yue Qingmeng's face was full of bright smiles, "Master, Li Dage should be able to successfully pass the tribulation, right?!"

"Yes, this heavenly tribulation no longer poses a threat to Shengyuan. We just need to wait for him to finish cultivating," Yue Xiyan smiled and nodded.

Yue Qingmeng tilted her head to look at her master, seeing her intently staring at Li Shengyuan with a soft glow in her eyes, and couldn't help but turn back, falling into contemplation...

She wasn't stupid. After the initial joy of seeing her master and Li Shengyuan, she gradually began to understand a few things, and a bold conjecture surfaced in her mind.

But there was a hint of confusion in her heart. If it was true, what should she do?

And what position should she be in?

She didn't know, she could only silently await the final outcome.

After a period of joyful laughter among the people at Shanhai Pass, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin laughed:

"Now we just need to quietly wait for Lord Li to finish absorbing the power of heaven and earth, successfully condense his Heaven and Earth Embodiment, and exit his cultivation state. This is a long process, so everyone doesn't need to be tense and worry about him anymore."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "The Demonic Cult certainly wouldn't have expected my son Shengyuan to break through to the Second Grade so quickly. With a new Second Grade expert, the previous stalemate will definitely be broken!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. At Li Shengyuan's realm, breaking through to the Second Grade was no longer just about himself, but a game between the two major factions and the tilting of the scales!

When this news spreads, the rampant Demonic Cult and the various allied armies will have to consider how to deal with the unexpected variable of Li Shengyuan!

Moreover, if it's just one person, they certainly won't be able to hold him back.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin then spoke to the Third Grade experts with a solemn expression, "For hundreds of years, no native Second Grade expert has been born in the Northern Region. Lord Li's current tribulation breakthrough at Shanhai Pass is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for everyone!"

"After he finishes his breakthrough, judging by the power of the Ten Heavenly Tribulations, the residual tribulation power will take at least decades, or even a century, to completely dissipate. And this period will be the best time for everyone to comprehend the tribulation power and improve their cultivation!"

"If you personally experience the might of the heavenly tribulation beforehand, you won't lose your composure when you undergo your own tribulation!"

The Third Grade experts' expressions instantly changed upon hearing this. One of the biggest obstacles faced by Northern Region Third Grade experts when confronting the Second Grade Heavenly Tribulation was their fear of the tribulation!

The stronger the fear in their hearts, the harder it would be to successfully pass the Heart Demon Tribulation!

As long as they panicked during the heavenly tribulation and lost that inner resolve, success would be almost impossible...

But before this, there were no Second Grade tribulation sites in the Northern Region, making it difficult to experience one.

When Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin broke through, it was not far from Qingyang Sect, which was a treasure land of Qingyang Sect, and it was impossible to allow outsiders to enter and consume the original power of the heavenly tribulation within it.

But Li Shengyuan's situation was different. He broke through in the wilderness Outside the Pass of Shanhai Pass, so he didn't think of claiming it for himself. This was intentionally benefiting the beings of the Northern Region!

Everyone instantly became excited and grateful...

Li Mu also stepped forward and solemnly said to everyone, "Since Shengyuan chose to break through here, he probably also has the idea of benefiting the Northern Region. After he finishes cultivating, cultivators from all regions, regardless of their cultivation level, can enter it to cultivate."

"However, everyone has seen how terrifying this heavenly tribulation is. Even after the tribulation ends, the innermost area cannot be entered by ordinary people for a short period. Those who enter to cultivate must act within their capabilities!"

"General Li, rest assured, we all know our limits!" Everyone also responded with serious expressions and nods.

Judging from the current situation, even if Li Shengyuan finishes his breakthrough, the residual tribulation power in the central area would be enough to give a Second Grade expert a tough time if they just walked through it, let alone a Third Grade expert comprehending and cultivating within it.

Many Third Grade experts began to send messages to their sects, asking Fourth and Fifth Grade cultivators to come to Shanhai Pass to cultivate. As long as they had good talent, they could choose to cultivate on the outskirts of the tribulation site.

With Li Shengyuan at the center, the tribulation range extended for ten li in every direction. There was no problem for lower-cultivation individuals to cultivate and comprehend on the periphery.

Many people present began to stir...

Li Mu, seeing this, revealed a satisfied smile.

Shengyuan's tribulation site was clearly a treasure land that attracted powerful individuals. As more powerful individuals from various sides came here, the number of powerful individuals within Shanhai Pass would rapidly increase!

With a large number of Third Grade experts cultivating in this place, if the Demon-Barbarian Allied Army dared to invade again, Li Mu wouldn't even need to act; these sect experts alone would be enough to terrify the Demon Barbarians!

After all, the tribulation site was between Shanhai Pass and the territories of the Demon Barbarians, and they certainly wouldn't want to be disturbed during their cultivation!

A month passed in a flash, and Li Shengyuan's cultivation was nearing its end.

After a month of accumulation, the Ten Heavenly Tribulations power within the tribulation site was already terrifying!

After all, Li Shengyuan's absorption ultimately had an upper limit, and his breakthrough seemed to have gathered all the tribulation power accumulated in the Northern Region and the Far North for hundreds of years here. As long as he didn't exit his cultivation, it would continuously torment him.

Even a Second Grade expert would have to be extremely cautious to step into the innermost area where Li Shengyuan underwent his tribulation; this was Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin's intuition...

As the news of the tribulation site spread, countless cultivators from the Northern Region gathered at Shanhai Pass, and even cultivators from other provinces of Great Qian came upon hearing the news.

Under everyone's eager anticipation, Li Shengyuan finally exited his cultivation state...
