185: Don't worry, I will take action at the last moment!
In an instant, Li Shengyuan arrived before the Shanhai Pass group via spatial teleportation.
Upon seeing Li Shengyuan, everyone gathered around him.
Wenren Qingxuan asked with a worried expression, "Son, how is Xiyan? Is she having any trouble with her tribulation?"
Meeting everyone's expectant gazes, Li Shengyuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiyan's breakthrough was very smooth. Although she's facing the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, it's not a big problem for her!"
"That's good, that's good..." Wenren Qingxuan nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Li Shengyuan smiled faintly at Yue Qingmeng in the crowd, signaling her not to worry.
At this moment, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin sighed, "You said Palace Master Yue could at least trigger the Eighth Heavenly Tribulation, but I didn't expect the Nine Heavenly Tribulations to descend in the end..."
"From ancient times to the present, Palace Master Yue can be considered an extraordinary figure! It's truly incredible..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, then stared intently at the place where the Heavenly Tribulation was descending.
"If Palace Master Yue successfully overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation, she will be a paramount figure in the history of the Northern Realm!"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem," Li Shengyuan said confidently.
After absorbing and refining ten strands of God-Demon Origin with him, and with the Ancient Demon Origin now completely absorbed by the Ancient God Origin, Yue Xiyan's strength had reached an unbelievable level!
Even those who hadn't refined supreme treasures like the God-Demon Origin before could overcome the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, so there was no reason Yue Xiyan couldn't succeed!
The Heavenly Tribulation, which had been brewing to its peak, descended with a roar!
The difference from Li Shengyuan's previous tribulation was the absence of the Dark Heavenly Tribulation!
Because Yue Xiyan possessed the power of an Ancient God, she would naturally face the stronger Light Heavenly Tribulation!
Light and darkness, the two most extreme opposing forces in the world, would not appear simultaneously in a Heavenly Tribulation unless Li Shengyuan was involved.
Yue Xiyan chose to undergo her tribulation not in the central area where Li Shengyuan's tribulation had ended, but at the periphery.
Otherwise, the residual Heavenly Tribulation power in the central area would be stirred up, undoubtedly making her Heavenly Tribulation even more difficult to handle.
The momentum of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations was slightly weaker than Li Shengyuan's earlier tribulation, but it still caused all the Third-Rank cultivators present to turn pale with shock.
They looked at the seemingly delicate figure within the Heavenly Tribulation, their eyes filled with admiration.
Yue Xiyan endured the tempering of the tangible Heavenly Tribulation while simultaneously resisting the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Everyone gazed at Yue Xiyan without blinking.
If she succeeded, she would be the Northern Realm's new legend, the first native cultivator in the Northern Realm's history to overcome the Nine Heavenly Tribulations!
If she failed, though she would perish, it would still leave a significant mark in the long river of the Northern Realm's history.
But would Li Shengyuan allow her to perish just like that?
Although Li Shengyuan was powerful, no one could help others resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, when Yue Xiyan began to break through to the Second Rank and the Heavenly Tribulation began to gather, a bold idea emerged in Li Shengyuan's mind.
It was just that Yue Xiyan was still undergoing the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, which was beneficial to her, so Li Shengyuan was not in a hurry to intervene...
It wouldn't be too late to act when Yue Xiyan's tempering reached perfection and she could no longer improve, or when she could no longer bear it.
The Heavenly Tribulation would not end in a short time.
But all those waiting here did not feel bored.
As the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger, Yue Xiyan was no longer as calm and composed as she had been initially. Her body was covered in blood, and her fair skin was now stained red...
This scene made everyone anxious, but seeing Li Shengyuan remain silent and unmoving, they did not speak up to disturb him.
Three days passed in a flash.
Yue Xiyan's condition worsened, but the Heavenly Tribulation showed no signs of weakening.
The only good news was that Yue Xiyan had very smoothly and easily defeated the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Yue Xiyan had cultivated diligently for decades, and she had little desire or pursuit for worldly things.
The only things that could affect her were the rise and fall of Yuehua Palace, and matters concerning Li Shengyuan and her disciple Yue Qingmeng...
But before she went into seclusion for her breakthrough, the matters between the three of them had already been sorted out, and this matter could no longer affect her mind.
Therefore, the Heart Demon Tribulation was the simplest and easiest tribulation for her!
Some cultivation techniques that lead to a detached heart and fewer desires are precisely for resisting heart demons.
Seeing her master in such a miserable and difficult state, Yue Qingmeng finally couldn't help but come to Li Shengyuan's side, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Li Dage, Master will be fine, right?"
Li Shengyuan held Yue Qingmeng's small hand, smiled faintly at her, and said, "Don't worry, although Xiyan's current condition looks a bit bad, there's no serious harm. The Heavenly Tribulation has now reached its peak, and its power will slowly weaken from here. At that time, Xiyan will successfully overcome the tribulation in no time!"
Then, he smiled confidently and mysteriously, "Besides, don't I still have me? If Xiyan really can't hold on, I'll naturally make a move?"
"Okay..." Yue Qingmeng also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The others, hearing this, looked at Li Shengyuan with doubt, wanting to know if he was serious or joking.
The young girl didn't know, but the Third-Rank cultivators were very clear.
During a Second-Rank Heavenly Tribulation, others simply cannot intervene; even just entering the range of the Heavenly Tribulation will invite an even more terrifying attack!
It would, on the contrary, also affect the person undergoing the tribulation!
But looking at Li Shengyuan's serious and confident expression, it seemed he wasn't joking...
This left everyone a bit bewildered.
Could it be that he wasn't just comforting the young girl...
But could truly help others overcome a Heavenly Tribulation?!
Then they looked at Yue Xiyan again. Although Li Shengyuan said there was no problem, everyone could see that Yue Xiyan was already close to her limit, nearing the end of her strength...
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, could it be that no one in the Northern Realm could truly overcome the Nine Heavenly Tribulations?
A moment later, a sharp glint flashed across Li Shengyuan's eyes!
"That's enough..."
He could already see that Yue Xiyan's tempering had reached its peak and she had begun to undergo transformation. Although the Ancient God power existed and she wouldn't fail the tribulation, the remaining Heavenly Tribulation would only purely torment her and serve no significant purpose...
Li Shengyuan stepped forward, his movement instantly drawing everyone's attention. They looked at him with curiosity.
Could he really intend to interfere with Yue Xiyan's tribulation?
The next moment, Li Shengyuan provided the answer: his figure directly disappeared from before everyone, arriving outside the range of the Heavenly Tribulation!
His divine soul left his body, emitting the power of an Ancient God that was of the same origin as Yue Xiyan's!
This was not only due to the God-Demon Origin but also the Yin-Yang Origin Stream Technique; a year of soul fusion was not wasted time!
Li Shengyuan's divine soul entered the range of the Heavenly Tribulation without causing any disturbance to the tribulation.
Everyone, staring intently, widened their eyes in astonishment.
"He... he actually entered the Heavenly Tribulation range, and it didn't even trigger a tribulation rampage..."
Everyone gasped upon seeing this. Although they didn't know how Li Shengyuan did it, this was simply more heaven-defying than overcoming the Ten Heavenly Tribulations!
It directly rewrote the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation that had existed for countless years!
Li Shengyuan's divine soul arrived beside Yue Xiyan. Looking at the bruised and battered Yue Xiyan, a hint of heartache appeared in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
The next moment, the Ancient God Embodiment descended, enveloping and protecting both of them.
Yue Xiyan, sensing the commotion around her, tiredly opened her eyes. Looking at Li Shengyuan, she forced a smile.
"Shengyuan... am I not undergoing a tribulation? Why are you here?"
"This Heart Demon Tribulation is truly powerful; it even imitates you so perfectly..."
