177: Explore the Tianjie Dojo!

“You’re going to stay here to break through?”

Li Shengyuan looked at Yue Xiyan with some surprise, but then thought it made sense.

Both of them had absorbed the God-Demon Origin. If Yue Xiyan went to the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo to gain insights, she should be able to find common ground when he broke through, so as not to get flustled.

Yue Xiyan did not have a God-Demon avatar, nor did she have the mysterious patterns representing gods and demons on her body. Only her spirit, body, and cultivation had improved, so Li Shengyuan did not know if Yue Xiyan would trigger the two-fold Heavenly Tribulation of Light and Darkness.

Yue Xiyan said softly, “The Heavenly Tribulation Dojo after your breakthrough will be of great help to me. It’s also a good opportunity for me to experience the power of the Heavenly Tribulation in advance.”

Then she chuckled softly, “And I also want to see how far I can go into the place where you underwent your tribulation!”

“Alright, sensing it in advance will give you a better idea,” Li Shengyuan nodded in agreement, then smiled, “And once you successfully pass your tribulation inside, it might even strengthen the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo. Over time, this place might become a cultivation treasure land in the Northern Region!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up at the words.

Although undergoing tribulation inside might trigger residual Heavenly Tribulation power, getting accustomed to it over time and developing resistance might have miraculous effects during tribulation!

After all, Li Shengyuan had passed the three-fold Heavenly Tribulations of Blazing Flames, Thunder, and Astral Winds at the Third Rank, and when he faced the Second Rank Heavenly Tribulation, dealing with these three-fold tribulations was indeed much easier.

Moreover, during tribulation, one only needed to undergo it in the peripheral area. After the tribulation, it could also supply the central area, allowing it to exist for a longer time.

It could also broaden the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo, which would then become a natural barrier between the Northern Region and the Far North!

Ordinary Demon Barbarians would find it difficult to pass through.

Li Shengyuan then discussed some detailed matters with everyone. As they were about to disperse, the Third Rank cultivators were already eager to try.

After bidding farewell to Li Shengyuan and the others, they all rose and flew towards the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo Outside the Pass.

Although Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin was already a Second Rank cultivator, he still wanted to experience Li Shengyuan’s Ten-fold Heavenly Tribulation and, incidentally, revisit his psychological trauma.

Li Mu then called out to everyone, “Everyone, remember to come back in five days! We still have a celebration banquet!”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Nowadays, they were only interested in cultivation, wanting to know how far they could go. As for the celebration banquet, they weren't very interested.

However, since Li Shengyuan was present, they still had to show respect!

The celebration banquet was supposed to be held over a month ago, but Li Shengyuan was undergoing tribulation, and without him, it always felt like something was missing.

And he wasn't interested in celebrating until he finished his tribulation...

Led by Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin, over ten Third Rank cultivators from the Northern Region, along with Third Rank cultivators from other areas, arrived outside the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo in a few breaths.

As for cultivators below the Third Rank, there were even more; Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank cultivators followed behind them, wanting to experience it!

When they were still far away at Shanhai Pass, the feeling wasn't strong enough.

Only up close could they realize how intense the pressure was.

Moreover, in addition to the might of the Ten-fold Heavenly Tribulation, Li Shengyuan's residual True Intent of Destruction here was much more terrifying under the strengthening of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin said with a solemn expression, “The Heavenly Tribulation on the periphery is already so dense; I can’t imagine how terrifying the central area must be!”

“Lord Li’s Ten-fold Heavenly Tribulation is still too terrifying, and the residual power remains since he just finished his tribulation!” Vice Sect Master Chen Qingxuan nodded in agreement.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin said with a solemn expression, “Qingxuan, send down the order: within one month, no cultivators below the Fourth Rank are allowed to enter the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo, not even the outermost periphery. Cultivators below the Fourth Rank could die if they are not careful!”

“Even Fourth Rank cultivators must not go deeper than one li. Act within your capabilities!”

“Yes, Sect Master!” Chen Qingxuan nodded with a serious expression.

The other Third Rank cultivators also sent messages to their respective sects.

Li Shengyuan’s tribulation area was very vast. To reach the center, one needed to travel over ten li. The area was incredibly wide, enough for many cultivators to cultivate here!

After the command was issued, the many cultivators gathered here shook their heads and retreated. Only those whose cultivation had reached the Fourth Rank wanted to experience it.

This place could greatly hone their understanding of artistic conception.

At this moment, a curious light exclamation came from their ears.

“Senior Fang, look, aren’t those guys on the side Demon Barbarians?”

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin shifted his attention from the dojo in front of him and looked at the place the person pointed, only to see three sneaking figures very far from the tribulation dojo.

His eyes narrowed, and then Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin sneered:

“A bunch of barbarians! Without the help of the Demonic Sect’s Second Rank cultivators, they’re just a disorganized rabble!”

“How dare they show up here, hoping to get a share of Lord Li’s tribulation dojo? What a pipe dream! Let me go teach them a lesson; I’ll be right back!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight, bypassing the tribulation dojo. The Third Rank cultivators followed without hesitation.

This was a great opportunity for their Great Gan human cultivators; how could they allow the barbarians Outside the Pass to meddle!

The three Fourth Rank Demon Barbarians, who were observing from dozens of li away, immediately changed their expressions.

They rose to flee, but just as they took a step, they couldn't move at all...

The three fellows were shocked. Is this the power of a human Second Rank cultivator?

They couldn't even move!

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin appeared before the three, standing in the void with his hands behind his back, and snorted, “Mere three small Fourth Rank Demon Barbarians dare to come to Shanhai Pass? You’re simply courting death! Speak, what is your intention in coming here!”

Looking at the Second Rank cultivator and over ten Third Rank cultivators in front of them, they were only Fourth Rank and had never seen such a scene! The three Demon Barbarians were already scared stiff and quickly begged for mercy:

“Please spare our lives, Senior! We mean no harm. We were merely ordered by the Demon King to investigate the changes here, not to invade our Great Gan nation!”

“Yes, yes, it was those scoundrels from the Demonic Sect who forced us to invade Shanhai Pass before! It has nothing to do with us!”

Looking at the three Demon Barbarians, who had a strong will to survive, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin sneered.

“A dignified Third Rank Demon King and Barbarian King dare not come, yet they send small Fourth Rank demons to their deaths. It’s truly laughable!”

The three Demon Barbarians nodded repeatedly, begging for their lives.

If the Demon Kings and Barbarian Kings knew that Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin and Li Shengyuan, two Second Rank cultivators, were present at Shanhai Pass, and still dared to come, they would truly need to have their heads examined.

They all wished they could hide far away; who would dare to come and take a look...

Since they were just three small fries, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin had no intention of making things difficult for them. Instead, he snorted, “Today, I will not kill you. Take this news back and tell your kings that if your two races dare to meddle with Lord Li’s tribulation dojo in the future, I will kill every one I see!”

“Yes, yes, yes... We will certainly convey Senior’s words!” The three small Demon Barbarians nodded repeatedly.

“Scram!”

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin shouted coldly and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The elusive spatial teleportation made the Third Rank cultivators envious.

The three Demon Barbarians then scurried northwards.

The two Demon Barbarian Kings, upon learning this news, could only sigh helplessly. Although they coveted it, with Li Shengyuan and Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin present, they didn't even dare to show their faces...

The Third Rank cultivators then began to explore the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo. Under the ravages of the Heavenly Tribulation, it should have been desolate.

But miraculously, tender grass sprouts grew, and there was even rainwater irrigation...

The mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements were vividly demonstrated here!

As for Yue Xiyan, before entering seclusion, she planned to clarify her relationship with Li Shengyuan and Yue Qingmeng...
