Chapter 67: Is This Thunder Tribulation?
Liu Shunyi felt it was almost time, so he sought out a desolate place.
Finally, he found a towering snow-capped mountain.
The reason for choosing this spot?
It was an extreme cold zone, rarely visited by anyone.
Plus, regular folks wouldn’t even make it halfway without freezing to death.
But Liu Shunyi completely disregarded the frigid temperatures.
After all, the negatives have their own scapegoats to bear them!
And, he discovered another matter.
It seemed he could appoint someone to bear the brunt of the disadvantages brought on by this kind of weather.
Though, it felt kind of useless.
But hey, better than nothing!
————
Two days passed.
Finally.
Once Liu Shunyi reached the summit, his cultivation could no longer be stifled.
The instant he unshackled his cultivation,
The sky changed colors dramatically.
Dark clouds loomed above the peak.
Honestly, Liu Shunyi had a feeling that even the thunder tribulation couldn’t keep it in any longer.
At the very moment he released his cultivation—
“Boom boom boom…”
Before the thunderclouds even fully gathered,
Lightning impatiently began to strike down.
The thunder roared like a waterfall, cascading downward.
“Holy cow!”
Caught completely off guard, Liu Shunyi was utterly submerged by the thunder waterfall.
And that mock core of spiritual energy he’d formed within him shattered in an instant.
“Damn it!”
Liu Shunyi went numb.
Was this really how it was going to go? He couldn’t even withstand the first strike of thunder tribulation?
Though,
Liu Shunyi felt no pain.
But damn it.
The mock core was gone!
Moreover, the increase in realm comes with both successes and failures.
That’s just how the laws of heaven and earth work.
It wasn’t something specific to any downside.
Liu Shunyi felt a bit down.
Luckily,
Being crippled is, after all, a downside.
Even though the mock core was gone, Liu Shunyi himself was not!
“Crap! As long as I don’t die, I’ll eventually reach the Golden Core! No one can stop me! I swear!”
At this moment, Liu Shunyi pulled out everything from his storage gourd.
Pills, herbs—he ate them all.
Then, he attempted to reform the mock core again.
“Boom…”
The thunder waterfall struck down again.
“Smack!”
Liu Shunyi’s mock core shattered once more.
“Bring it on!”
“Boom… Crumble!”
“Again…”
“Boom…”
“Damn it! Today, I refuse to let fate dictate my path. I’m going to face you head-on!”
Liu Shunyi was determined to reform the mock core frantically.
If it broke, he’d just keep going.
After all, he couldn’t die.
It was all good.
Finally.
After attempting to condense the mock core about three hundred times,
This time, the thunder tribulation didn’t destroy his mock core again.
Because the thunder tribulation simply couldn’t break it.
“Crack~”
At that moment, the shell of the mock core shattered.
A perfectly translucent Golden Core flew out from Liu Shunyi’s body, hovering above his head.
Then, that Golden Core began absorbing and inscribing its own divine patterns.
“Boom~”
Thunder struck down once again.
The Golden Core shattered.
“Hehe~”
Liu Shunyi coldly chuckled.
“First time’s a lesson, second time’s a charm, huh? I can’t lose!”
“Boom boom boom boom…”
After Liu Shunyi had shattered eighty-one Golden Cores in succession,
The latest condensed Golden Core finally wouldn’t be destroyed by the thunder.
“Hahaha! I can’t die! I can reform the Golden Core endless times! Let me ask you, how can I lose? Hahaha…”
At this moment, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but rise, gazing at his resplendent Golden Core, laughing maniacally!
But suddenly,
Liu Shunyi’s expression froze.
Because the thunder tribulation suddenly condensed into a giant, looming over the sky, staring down at Liu Shunyi.
“Holy crap, is this really the thunder tribulation?!”
Liu Shunyi was completely stunned.
Seeing the giant formed from the thunder tribulation,
Liu Shunyi quickly swallowed his Golden Core and bolted.
But suddenly,
The thunder giant’s fist grabbed Liu Shunyi.
“Damn it! Uh, great thunder tribulation, you don’t have to hold grudges! Let me go, for real! Next time I face a tribulation, I’ll definitely light some incense for you!”
“Bang bang bang…”
At this moment, the thunder tribulation had Liu Shunyi in its palm.
The other hand repeatedly smacked down,
Like it was applauding.
And Liu Shunyi was screaming in agony.
“Holy crap, that hurts!”
Liu Shunyi was thoroughly shocked.
Although,
He couldn’t die.
But how on earth did this thunder tribulation make him feel pain?
“Bang bang bang…”
The giant’s palm continued to smack down.
Liu Shunyi was getting beat black and blue.
“Stop hitting! I swear, I’ll never do it again!”
“Bang bang bang…”
“Crap! You’ve got to be kidding! You’re just asking for it, huh? Pen Grandpa, write down the name of this thunder tribulation!”
“Whoosh…”
At that moment,
A brush shook,
Floating in Liu Shunyi’s mind, the tip glowing brightly.
“Ding!”
Just as the brush touched the golden scroll of the Dao,
An invisible barrier suddenly blocked the golden brush.
The brush was knocked away, returning to tranquility.
Though it didn’t work,
That thunder giant finally stopped.
Not just stopping,
It even placed Liu Shunyi on a patch of empty ground.
In the dazed eyes of Liu Shunyi,
After tidying up like a doll,
It squatted down, helping Liu Shunyi fix his clothes.
Its fingers even combed Liu Shunyi’s thunder-ravaged hair back in place.
Once everything was fixed,
The thunder giant even flashed a smile at Liu Shunyi.
Then, it vanished in an instant.
Liu Shunyi stared in confusion at the mess around him.
Thoughts of what just transpired with that thunder giant echoed in his mind.
“This… this is really the thunder tribulation?!”
Liu Shunyi found it hard to believe.
……
……
Meanwhile, inside Jing Shui City,
Lin Wudao struggled to crawl out from his secluded chamber.
His face was pale,
And his cultivation felt utterly drained.
Thank goodness, he hadn’t turned into a useless lump.
Even so,
To deal with this unexpected disaster,
He had exhausted all his current assets.
“Someone! Help me up!”
Lin Wudao called weakly.
At that moment, a Shadow Guard rushed over, supporting Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao weakly clutched the Shadow Guard.
“Hand me your healing and recovery pills!”
The Shadow Guard looked a bit dumbfounded.
It felt like a dream,
His master actually asked him for pills?
Though he had questions in his mind,
The Shadow Guard dared not hesitate.
Lin Wudao quickly swallowed the pills.
His complexion became a lot better.
But he was still incredibly weak.
“Have we found the culprit yet?”
Lin Wudao asked weakly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He had to find the person behind this.
This plotter, using some sneaky method, not only caused him trouble, but also drained his entire fortune.
While he was lost in thought, Lin Wudao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn’t injury, just pure rage.
The Shadow Guard looked a little concerned.
“We might have found something, but it’s not certain.”
Lin Wudao: “???”
The Shadow Guard explained.
“From our investigation, the only person who recently broke through to the Golden Core realm on our side didn’t go through a tribulation.”
Lin Wudao immediately perked up.
“Who is it?”
The Shadow Guard continued, “From the Qinglian Sect, there’s an elder named Zhao Gou!”
