After a cultivator successfully transcends tribulation, there is a chance that a celestial phenomenon of tribulation will appear.

The more exceptionally talented a person is, the greater the chance of witnessing a tribulation-crossing celestial phenomenon.

Similarly, the more exceptional a person's talent, the more mysterious and powerful the celestial phenomena that will appear!

Ordinary celestial phenomena during tribulation are mostly various birds of prey and ferocious beasts, or celestial plants and orchids, or divine weapons.

However, celestial phenomena resembling ancient divine beasts or gods are extremely rare, and those who possess such celestial phenomena are likely to have great opportunities hidden within them.

There is another type of person whose celestial phenomena are quite special, not falling within the scope of normal celestial phenomena, and no one knows what these celestial phenomena represent.

The celestial phenomena observed by Liu Yunqing were exactly like this.

What does "two suns vying for brilliance" mean?

Mingzhao Daojun saw that this celestial phenomenon was extraordinary, but he did not understand what made it extraordinary.

Master Jianxing didn't understand either, but the good thing was that this wasn't the first time he had seen this celestial phenomenon.

“Master, I saw this celestial phenomenon in Luoxia City a few years ago.”

When Jianxing Zhenren said this, he emphasized the words "a few years ago" and gestured with his eyes toward Liu Yunqing.

Daoist Mingzhao instantly understood, his eyes widening even further as he exclaimed:

"You mean, this rogue cultivator, Zhenru, can manifest extraordinary phenomena in the heavens even during the Foundation Establishment stage? And it's still these two suns vying for brilliance?"

Jianxing Zhenren nodded and added:

"That's what I think."

"However, the two suns vying for brilliance back then were not as grand as they are now, which makes them easy to overlook."

Daoist Mingzhao frowned, not entirely certain in his heart.

Why didn't he know about such a special celestial phenomenon?

Not only did he not know, he hadn't even heard a whisper of it.

Seeing the doubt in Mingzhao Daojun's heart, Jianxing Zhenren continued:

"The strange phenomenon of the two suns shining brightly back then was probably because the phenomenon was weaker and Lord Chunyu covered it up, so it did not spread in the cultivation world."

“Yes,” Daoist Mingzhao nodded, his brows relaxing as he said:

"This is the kind of thing Brother Changfeng would do."

"It's a pity. Brother Changfeng probably didn't expect that you would advance so quickly this time. It's probably too late to hide it now."

After saying this, Daoist Mingzhao scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and found that several people from the sect had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Wenxi Daojun, who was showing great concern for Liu Yunqing, also noticed the approaching powerful aura. After thinking for a moment, he quickly walked up to Mingzhao Daojun and said:

"Zhenru has just advanced in cultivation, and her cultivation is unstable. Let her go and cultivate in seclusion first."

Mingzhao Daojun didn't move, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Wenxi Daojun held a competitive tension that only the two of them could understand.

Finally, Daoist Wenxi nodded almost imperceptibly, and Daoist Mingzhao then turned to Jian Xing and said:

“Perfect timing, she needs to refine her natal magic weapon. Take her to my secluded cultivation room.”

Master Jianxing lowered his eyes, asked no further questions, and led Liu Yunqing away.

"Elder Mingzhao, who has advanced in rank? Why is there such a commotion?"

Daoist Mingzhao looked at the newcomer and politely cupped his hands in greeting:

"Why did the sect leader come in person?"

"I just arrived too; he's a junior colleague of one of my old friends."

The Sect Master of Tai Xuan glanced into the closed-door cultivation formation but saw no one. He returned the greeting while smiling:

"Such a talented individual should be brought out to be seen when he advances in our Tai Xuan Sect."

Daoist Mingzhao spread his hands and said:

"Unfortunately, my old friend was afraid of this situation. He felt that the child's cultivation was unstable after just advancing, so he hurriedly ran away."

Once someone's cultivation reaches the level of Daoist Mingzhao and the others, although they are still sect elders or supreme elders, as long as they do not betray the sect, no one can interfere in their private affairs.

Upon hearing Mingzhao Daojun's words, the Tai Xuan Sect Master refrained from pressing the matter further and instead asked:

"I heard a while ago that Lord Chunyu of Luoxia City sent young friend Zhenru here. Could it be that young friend Zhenru himself?"

When the Sect Master of Tai Xuan said this, several other Nascent Soul cultivators from the sect had already arrived.

Daoist Mingzhao nodded frankly and said:

"Yes, but my friend Zhenru has already broken through to the Golden Core stage. He came here to refine his natal magic weapon."

"What? Young friend Zhenru, you also wish to meet him?"

Hearing what Daoist Mingzhao said, some people lost interest and left directly, while quite a few people stayed behind.

Some people feel that there are no such coincidences in the world and want to see for themselves whether it is really an advancement.

Another group of people had a different idea.

When the patriarch summoned them, no one else was present except for the parties involved and key insiders.

All they knew was that the patriarch was unwilling to place all his hopes on the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune, and instead chose a favored genius cultivator to form another camp.

As for what this camp is going to do, and what the two teams are really competing against, no one knows.

Among those unaware of the truth are the vast majority of those directly involved.

Even Liu Yunqing only learned part of the truth himself in the Soul-Stealing Valley.

When these people heard that Liu Yunqing was there, they naturally wanted to see what it was about the person chosen by the ancestor that allowed him to contend with the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune.

This time, Daoist Mingzhao did not refuse again. He casually made a hand seal and said to the air:

"Jianxing, if it is true that young friend is not busy, please ask him to come and meet the seniors."

After saying that, he released a hand seal, and a ball of red fire spirit energy flew towards a certain place on Mingzhao Peak.

When Jian Xing reappeared with Liu Yunqing, the group had already sat down in the cave of Daoist Mingzhao.

The moment Liu Yunqing stepped into the palace, all doubts in my heart about the strange celestial phenomenon vanished completely.

Although Liu Yunqing was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, his cultivation was stable and solid, and his spiritual energy flowed smoothly throughout his body. It was obvious that he had been advancing for some time and could not have just completed his tribulation.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain how someone could emerge unscathed from the tribulation lightning, with their spiritual energy remaining perfectly undisturbed and their cultivation seemingly stable and well-established.

Although time was short, Liu Yunqing had already received Jian Xing's guidance.

Upon entering, he focused his gaze inward, stood before the several Nascent Soul Dao Lords, and calmly bowed, saying:

"Junior Zhenru greets all seniors."

Daoist Mingzhao raised his hand, and a powerful yet gentle force lifted Liu Yunqing up as he spoke:

"It's nothing. It's just that some seniors heard that you've come to Mingzhao Peak as a guest and wanted to meet you. You're a junior who has been praised by the ancestors."

When the term "ancestors" was mentioned, these Nascent Soul cultivators became less aloof and nodded in affirmation.

The Sect Master of Tai Xuan laughed heartily and praised him accordingly:

"As it turns out, our ancestors were indeed incredibly insightful!"

"In the entire Sun Realm, besides young friend Zhenru, who else is under thirty and has already cultivated to the Golden Core stage?"

That's certainly a chilling answer.

It should be understood that, let alone those with poor aptitude, there are many people with average to above-average aptitude who cannot establish a foundation before the age of thirty, let alone reach the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, although the praise from the various Nascent Soul cultivators was just casual and offhand, it was genuine.

Only one of the Nascent Soul cultivators gave a sour "humph," expressing considerable disdain:

"Why exaggerate like that? She's not the only Golden Core cultivator in her twenties. There's also Yun Zhao, the junior disciple of the Myriad Wonders Sect!"
