Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan both nodded.

Including the days before the great chaos, they had lived for at least several hundred years.

Logically speaking, the time when one is undergoing tribulation should be the time when one can best perceive the existence of the Heavenly Dao, but even after undergoing so many tribulations, they have basically never perceived the existence of the Heavenly Dao.

Even if there is any, it is extremely faint.

To attack someone else while they are undergoing tribulation is something that has never been heard of before.

The Way of Heaven is always elusive, so their "manifestation" this time was quite surprising.

"So there really is a Heavenly Dao. I thought it was something the earliest cultivators made up to guide our cultivation."

Song Weiyan truly lives up to his reputation as a heavyweight figure on par with Fang Yu; his speech is remarkably eloquent.

"But the Heavenly Dao is too petty; it strikes down anything you say to it..."

Bai Ruoan immediately cast a silencing spell, firmly sealing his mouth.

Su Xiyu was afraid that the silencing talisman wouldn't stop him, so she quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, saying hastily, "Shut up, Second Senior Brother, stop talking!"

The Heavenly Dao has just revealed its existence. What's the difference between Song Weiyan's actions and speaking ill of someone to their face?

They're defying the rules!

They don't want to be implicated and struck by lightning!

Everyone nervously looked towards the cave, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no thunderclouds were gathering.

"They've left?"

"It should be."

"Hurry up and go chop down Lingxiao Zhenren! He's thick-skinned, chop him down! Don't chop us down!"

The crowd happily sent the Heavenly Dao away.

Shen Sanruo, who had been silent until now, raised an eyebrow.

She remembered that when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she had also cursed the Heavenly Dao as a makeshift operation.

However, she cursed him in her heart.

Luckily, she didn't say it aloud, otherwise she probably would have been in even more trouble.

She gazed thoughtfully through the hole in the roof at the gradually dissipating dark clouds.

His deep gaze seemed to be trying to see something through the dark clouds.

The Way of Heaven is ruthless; people often jokingly refer to it as "the ruthless Way's outstanding graduate."

The Way of Heaven has no emotions or desires. In His eyes, all things in the world are equal. He coldly observes all causes and effects and reincarnations in the world, and never interferes with them.

The original members of Ninghua Sect had a good understanding of this.

When chaos erupted, Heaven did not react at all, but quietly watched them fight against the evil and demonic cultivators.

But just now, Heaven sent down lightning as punishment because Fang Yu cursed Him?

Upon closer examination, one can perceive the incongruity and abnormality in it.

A sense of interest crept into Shen Sangruo's eyes. This couldn't possibly be Heaven acting on its own whim; it must have been premeditated.

What is the meaning behind Heaven's actions? Is it to prove its existence to the world?

As she pondered, the thunderclouds in the sky had almost completely dissipated, so she decided to look away.

At that moment, a strange feeling suddenly spread throughout her body.

Shen Sanruo slightly opened her eyes, stunned in place, then half-closed her eyes, searching for something in the sky.

It seems like someone just made eye contact with her.

Her intuition was right.

And that "person" is very likely the Heavenly Dao.

What exactly does the Way of Heaven want to express?

Su Xiyu's voice brought her back to reality, "Junior Sister, do you think Song Weiyan is missing a screw in his head?"

While she was thinking, Song Weiyan had already torn off the silencing talisman from her mouth, arguing for herself.

The two sides argued back and forth several times.

Now Su Xiyu is so angry that she no longer calls him Second Senior Brother.

“Junior Sister is different from you. Look how seriously she thinks, unlike you, whose attention is all focused on these trivial matters.”

Song Weiyan quickly stood beside her, trying to pull her onto the same side.

After doing all that, he said to her, "By the way, junior sister, what were you thinking about just now?"

"Someone like you shouldn't get in Junior Sister's way," Su Xiyu said sarcastically, then changed the subject, "But I'm also very curious about what Junior Sister is thinking."

"I'm thinking about how to repair this huge hole in my cave," Shen Sangruo replied, each word deliberate and serious.

Then he looked at Fang Yu and said, "You brought this trouble, so remember to pay for my roof."

"Huh?" Fang Yu was taken aback at first, then immediately said, "Pay up, pay up, you have to pay! I'm not leaving until I fix Sister Sang Ruo's roof!"

Then he can come to see Chen Sangruo every day during this period.

"hey-hey."

Shen Sangruo: ...

After a moment of silence, he said, "Your compensation of spirit stones is enough."

Fang Yu's smile faded, but she could only obediently agree, "Okay."

"Just kidding, I was actually thinking..." She revealed everything she had been thinking.

The people present were all people she trusted, so there was nothing to hide.

He emphasized, "And when I looked at the sky, it seemed as if I was making eye contact with the heavens."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked somewhat surprised.

If others had said that they were looking directly at the Heavenly Dao, they might have been skeptical, but it was Shen Sangruo who said it.

They completely believed what she said, which made it even more incredible.

Shen Sangruo added, "We don't know the intentions of Heaven for the time being, so it's best not to make a fuss about this to avoid trouble."

The group nodded, indicating they would keep the secret.

"Let's see if he can break through successfully over there. If he succeeds in reaching the Void Refinement stage, we'll have a tough battle ahead of us."

Immortal Lord Changli and Daoist Wuwei also looked in the direction of Feiyun Sect.

They are already aware that in today's cultivation world, after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, one needs to advance to the Transitional stage.

Not only them, but also the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, the Crimson Desert Jiang Family, and almost half of the cultivation world were paying attention to Lingxiao Zhenren's tribulation.

This is the first cultivator in a thousand years to have the potential to break through to the Void Refinement stage, which will inevitably affect the landscape of the cultivation world.

Inside the Flying Cloud Sect on the other side.

Shen Daochen specially activated a forbidden area of ​​the Flying Cloud Sect, a huge circular platform.

This is the place where a senior member of the Flying Cloud Sect overcame tribulation thousands of years ago when he broke through to the Void Refinement stage.

This place was painstakingly built and is covered with arrays, which are very effective in resisting lightning tribulations and stabilizing the minds of cultivators.

In commemoration of that senior cultivator who had reached the Void Refinement stage, and also to express respect, this place was originally designated as a forbidden area and would no longer be opened.

However, whether Lingxiao Zhenren could break through was crucial to the entire Feiyun Sect, as well as whether Shen Sangruo could return, so Shen Daochen couldn't care less about that.

All the elders of the Flying Cloud Sect sat in their corresponding positions on the array around the round platform, their faces solemn and dignified, ready for battle.

Even Shen Daochen was among them, personally coming to protect Lingxiao Zhenren.

Lingxiao Zhenren sat cross-legged in the center of the round platform, his expression indifferent.

Compared to others, he appeared much more relaxed and at ease.

Calamity clouds gathered in the sky, making Feiyun Sect even darker than other places, with only a faint glimmer of light shining through.

A flash of lightning illuminated the entire Flying Cloud Sect once again.

The thunder grew louder and louder, as if it were about to strike. The elders protecting the Dharma felt their hearts race and took deep breaths to calm themselves.

Although they are protectors of the Dharma, they are under the influence of the tribulation clouds and are highly likely to be accidentally injured.

"Form ranks! The first lightning tribulation is coming!" Shen Daochen's deep voice resounded to everyone.
