CHAPTER 133: CHAPTER 133 IMMORTAL ASCENSION THUNDER TRIBULATION

The next day

Chen Jiuge, nursing a bit of a headache, saw a Message Talisman that Zhu Yinghuang had left on the table.

"Brother Chen, I may have misspoken last night while drunk, but what you said at the end was right. As long as I have enough strength, I can change my life. I shouldn’t run away anymore. This battle with the Demon Clan is the first step in my growth. Thank you, Brother Chen."

Did I really say that? Chen Jiuge looked at the floating words in the air with a baffled expression.

"Turn up the heat, Da Bai. Haven’t you eaten?" Yue Meng stood on top of the Alchemy Furnace, her Medicine Mortar moving swiftly in her hands as she kept talking.

Below her, Da Bai felt his mouth going dry from the heat. Hearing this, the fire he breathed grew larger, though he thought bitterly to himself, I really haven’t eaten. Didn’t you know? Bai Ya woke me up in the middle of the night to do Alchemy.

Just as Da Bai thought he couldn’t take it anymore, Yue Meng suddenly shouted, "Stop, it’s done."

A tempting Dan Fragrance wafted from the furnace, signaling the successful creation of a Sixth Rank Resurrection Pill.

Looking at the green Sixth Rank Resurrection Pill in her hand, Yue Meng, oblivious to the soot on her face, laughed heartily, "I did it again! Sixth Rank Alchemist, who’s better than me?"

Exhausted, Da Bai felt a chill in his heart. Again, a Sixth Rank Alchemist. How am I ever going to turn things around?

Not quite understanding, but happy for her friend, Bai Ya offered her congratulations, "Congrats, Yue Meng."

"Little Ya, come on, no Alchemy today. I’m taking you to meet Aunt Wen. Let’s visit the Sect workshop," Yue Meng said, hopping along as she pulled Bai Ya with her.

Left behind, Da Bai really wanted to shout, Who does this, dragging me over in the middle of the night and now not even giving me a meal?

Seeing Da Bai devour his food, War Song said with a bit of pity, "Da Bai, why don’t you just join my legion? Big Mountain is there too; you two would make good companions."

Da Bai swallowed a pig’s trotter and declared fiercely, One day I’ll become an Artifact Refining Master.

"Alright then." War Song sounded a bit disappointed.

That was almost a solution for the legion’s Magic Artifact needs. Now he needed to figure out where to get more Spirit Stones. The money he had was enough for the legion’s food and drink, but the expenses for Magic Artifacts seemed like a lot.

By the way, isn’t the Golden Iron Back Ape’s Monkey Wine ready now? It’s worth a lot. Maybe he should ask Yue Meng to contact Li Qiwen; that should surely sell for a good amount of Spirit Stones.

Dragging the staggering Golden Dog puppy back to the camp, Black Eye also was filled with worries. The tribe’s little ones were too many to handle; the mother dogs couldn’t keep up. Maybe he should hire the Golden Iron Back Apes? He wasn’t sure if they could handle the job.

Life in Eden Garden was calm. There were Da Bai’s occasional funny blunders, Ming Yujing and Bali’s noticeable activities, and the noisy training sessions led by War Song. Yue Meng and Bai Ya also sporadically visited Wen Ruoshui to buy various random items at the workshop. Additionally, the dutiful Silver King and Black Eye were busy transporting goods and herding.

"Is this Senior Sister’s Heavenly Tribulation?" Chen Jiuge looked at the massive storm clouds on the other side, shock written all over his face.

Rushing towards the direction of the Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Jiuge still harbored some doubts. According to the last time I saw Senior Sister, she shouldn’t be facing her Tribulation so soon.

By the time Chen Jiuge arrived, Guman was already there.

"Jiuge, you’re here too," Guman greeted.

"Elder Gu, what’s going on here? Senior Sister Wen Ruo should have some time before her Tribulation," Chen Jiuge said anxiously. Ever since he became a Disciple of Wen Tianming, Senior Sister Wen Ruo had taken good care of him, even offering to manage Eden Garden for him. Chen Jiuge was truly grateful to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Guman slowly explained, "It might be due to the Eternal Youth Body. This constitution can directly avoid the first three Life Span Tribulations of a Heavenly Immortal, but it also needs to absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation during ascension to immortality."

"Spring Thunder represents Vitality, and the Eternal Youth Body needs this kind of Vitality to grow fully."

"So, Senior Sister is alright then?"

"There shouldn’t be a problem. She has already passed the most difficult Heart Demon Tribulation; this should be manageable."

During a Heavenly Tribulation, aside from the person undergoing the Tribulation, no one else can enter. Otherwise, the Tribulation would not only increase in intensity according to the number of people but would prioritize eliminating the outsiders first.

This is also why one should not provoke a Cultivator who is about to undergo a Tribulation. If they can’t defeat you, they could choose to face the Tribulation with you, even at the risk of mutual destruction. However, generally speaking, a Heavenly Tribulation is not something one can just call upon at will.

The power of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation was greater, and the Heavenly Thunders from the Heavenly Tribulation were more frequent too. Chen Jiuge winced at the idea of enduring all eighty-one Heavenly Thunders of the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation.

Switching places with Senior Sister Wen Ruo in his mind, Chen Jiuge realized he could at most withstand the first nine Heavenly Thunders; any more would probably turn him to dust. Fortunately, his Cultivation level was still low, so he didn’t have to worry too much about it.

As the forty-ninth Heavenly Thunder struck, the nature of the Heavenly Tribulation began to morph. It wasn’t just thunder anymore; Thunder Beasts formed from the Tribulation pounced towards the barely visible Wen Ruo at the center.

Then, Chen Jiuge witnessed his Senior Sister’s power for the first time.

A green vine rose from the ground, and with just a light whip, the numerous Thunder Beasts formed from the Tribulation were all obliterated in one sweep.

Senior Sister’s strength is kind of exaggerated, Chen Jiuge raised an eyebrow.

"This is why she’s a prospective Core Disciple. Although Wen Ruo isn’t ranked very high, her strength is among the strongest in her rank. To her, a Tribulation is just a minor stumbling block," Guman proudly declared.

Just as Guman had said, Wen Ruo relied solely on a vine to forcefully whip through to the seventy-second Heavenly Thunder; the last nine of which were the most powerful.

The Tribulation in the sky changed again. This time, it wasn’t Spiritual Beasts that transformed but people, and the first to change was Chen Jiuge?!

Seeing a version of himself formed by the Tribulation, Chen Jiuge was stunned. Is this even possible?

Wen Ruo, at the center of the Tribulation, hesitated for a moment. The vine didn’t whip out immediately, allowing the Chen Jiuge formed from the Tribulation to crash into her, causing a massive explosion with Thunderbolts scattering in all directions.

Chen Jiuge felt concerned, but Guman, squinting his eyes, reassured him, "Don’t worry, Jiuge. The strongest aspect of the Eternal Youth Body is Body Refinement, not Magic Power."

Then Chen Jiuge saw his Senior Sister throw a punch-like move, and a huge hole appeared in the Tribulation cloud above.

GULP.

Chen Jiuge swallowed hard. This seemingly gentle Senior Sister was primarily focused on Body Refinement. It was incredibly misleading, and her strength was brutally overwhelming.

Under Wen Ruo’s powerful onslaught, the Heavenly Tribulation stood no chance.

Watching Wen Ruo appearing calm and serene before them, Chen Jiuge’s face stiffened slightly. "Senior Sister, congratulations."

"Oh dear, did you see everything, Junior Brother?" Seemingly a bit embarrassed, Wen Ruo’s face even blushed slightly.

Looking at Wen Ruo, dressed in white with only the edges of her dress slightly darkened as if dusted with some soil, Chen Jiuge grew even more respectful towards her.

In the future, he definitely shouldn’t anger Senior Sister Wen Ruo. Otherwise, those little fists might just punch him silly.
