Chapter 407 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (36)
"Can't be suppressed anymore?"
Zhao Sizhe frowned and looked at Zhou Jue: "Sect Master, your cultivation level..."
"It's not a simple breakthrough."
The old tree elder spoke up from the side, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his wrinkled face.
“This world can no longer contain you.” He looked up at the sky.
Cheng Gan's heart skipped a beat: "Senior means... ascension?"
“Not bad.” The Listening Sea Beast nodded: “The Heavenly Tribulation has locked onto her.”
Zhou Jue was not surprised by this. She felt the restless power within her body, which was about to burst out, and she tried her best to suppress it.
"I know."
"I will continue to suppress it, and let it come on the last day."
"The last day?"
Zhao Sizhe's pupils suddenly contracted: "It's the same day as the return time indicated by the system?"
“Yes.” Zhou Jue nodded.
"Once we've weathered this ordeal, everyone get ready and we'll go home together."
As the return passage opened, the tribulation of ascension descended.
...
The three-month period passed in the blink of an eye; it was the last day of the ten-year agreement.
The sect has been handed over smoothly, and the one hundred disciples have packed up all the things they wanted to take with them.
Deep in the mountains of Shiwan, on a solitary peak that has been leveled, the wind and clouds change color.
One hundred core disciples of the Xuantian Sect, dressed in uniform black outfits, stood in formation, each with a resolute expression on their face.
Zhao Sizhe, Cheng Gan, Li Ming, and others stood at the very front.
On a distant mountaintop, Ning Yuan, along with a new generation of Xuan Tian Sect disciples, watched from afar with solemn expressions.
The old tree and the Listening Sea Beast transformed into a streak of light, hovering in mid-air to protect them.
The sky darkened, and black clouds surged wildly from the void, layer upon layer, obscuring all light.
Dark purple lightning streaked through the depths of the clouds, and an aura of destruction enveloped the entire Eastern Continent.
Countless old monsters who had been in seclusion were awakened at this moment.
Powerful divine senses traversed thousands of miles of territory and were projected into this sky.
"This is... the tribulation of ascension?"
"What terrifying pressure! Who is undergoing tribulation? When did such a figure emerge in the Eastern Continent?!"
"The scale of these tribulation clouds... I have never seen anything like it in my entire life!"
"Is someone else about to ascend to immortality?"
......
Zhou Jue raised his head, glanced at the cloud of tribulation above, then turned back to look at the hundred companions behind him.
She nodded slightly in the direction of the old tree and the Listening Sea Beast.
Immediately, she soared into the sky, hovering alone directly beneath the black cloud of tribulation.
Boom—!
The first tribulation lightning has arrived!
A bolt of purplish-black lightning, as thick as a bucket, tore through the clouds without warning and struck straight at Zhou Jue!
Below, countless Xuan Tian Sect disciples held their breath, and Ning Yuan's fists clenched unconsciously.
Zhou Jue neither dodged nor avoided; she didn't even use any defensive magic items.
She simply raised her hand, and the seemingly ordinary jade ruler appeared in her palm.
Measuring stick.
"Break!"
With a clear shout, Zhou Jue's figure advanced instead of retreating, actually charging forward to meet the tribulation lightning!
Amidst the horrified gazes of all onlookers, the measuring ruler struck the center of the lightning bolt with unparalleled precision.
The violent lightning bolt seemed to be paused the moment it touched the measuring rod, remaining frozen in mid-air, maintaining its downward momentum.
The next second, countless fine, spiderweb-like law runes appeared above the lightning.
That is the fundamental law that constitutes this heavenly tribulation!
"I see."
Zhou Jue's eyes flashed, and the knowledge of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book was running wildly in her sea of consciousness.
Crack!
The measuring ruler trembled slightly.
The solidified lightning shattered instantly, transforming into the purest essence of lightning, which flowed into Zhou Jue's body like streams.
"What... what kind of tribulation is this?"
"She...she actually withstood the heavenly lightning head-on, and even...absorbed it?"
"A madman! He's absolutely insane!"
The powerful beings who had sent their divine senses from afar were utterly speechless.
They had never seen or imagined that anyone could undergo tribulation in such a domineering and inconceivable way. Since ancient times, who has ever undergone tribulation without being scorched to a crisp?
Rumble!
The Way of Heaven seemed to be enraged.
The second, third, and fourth bolts of tribulation lightning arrived one after another, each one thicker and more violent than the last.
Zhou Jue sometimes broke it with a ruler, sometimes untied it with talismans, and sometimes guided it with an array.
No matter how the heavenly tribulation changed, she handled it with ease and absorbed all the power of the thunder into her own use.
With each absorption, her aura steadily increased.
After the eighth bolt of lightning struck, the sky was briefly calm, but everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
The ninth tribulation lightning is brewing!
[Ding! Five minutes remaining until returning to Earth! Please prepare yourself!]
The system's voice exploded in Zhou Jue's mind.
roar--!
The ninth tribulation lightning finally took shape! It could no longer be called lightning; it was a lightning dragon a thousand feet long, entirely composed of purplish-black destructive lightning!
It let out a soul-shaking roar, carrying a terrifying aura, and charged towards Zhou Jue!
"This...this is going to kill off ascension!"
"How could there be such terrifying pressure?"
"This heavenly tribulation power... could this female cultivator be a once-in-a-millennium genius?"
"Who is this female cultivator? I've never heard of her before."
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment. After the last bolt of tribulation lightning struck, Zhou Jue's aura surged dramatically!
At this moment, the shackles of the Nascent Soul stage were completely broken by the immense power accumulated within her! Above the sky, the guiding passage opened.
She succeeded!
She turned around, her gaze sharp as lightning, and looked down at the hundred disciples who were already prepared below, letting out a resounding shout that echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Now! Let's go!"
She raised her hand and made a grasping motion towards the ground below.
A vast magical power instantly transformed into an invisible hand, sweeping up the hundred disciples along with the two seniors!
The two seniors entered the space, and the remaining one hundred people transformed into a dazzling stream of light. Amidst the horrified gazes of all the powerful beings in the world, they followed Zhou Jue and rushed into the white vortex without hesitation!
"Sect Master... Sect Master succeeded? She really ascended to heaven with a hundred people?"
"No! This is impossible! Heaven will never allow it!"
"What kind of monster is this?! How could the Heavenly Dao allow someone to ascend to immortality?!"
"This female cultivator is finished..."
Boom—!!!
The light faded, and the clouds of calamity dissipated.
The sky returned to its clear, cloudless state, as if nothing had happened.
There was no one left on that solitary peak.
Only countless powerful beings from the Eastern Continent remained, stunned and trembling in their souls.
Soon, a legend that would overturn the entire cultivation history of the Cangyun Realm spread from the Ten Thousand Mountains to Lin Yuan Town, to the Eastern Continent, and to every corner of the world.
Legend has it that a mysterious female cultivator underwent tribulation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Finally, he took a hundred disciples and ascended to heaven in broad daylight, shattering the void and departing.
Some say they were fortunate enough to witness a miracle, seeing a hundred people ascend to immortality, a feat unprecedented in history.
Some elders from sects who had lived for thousands of years stroked their beards and shook their heads repeatedly, asserting that this action was against the will of Heaven and extremely disrespectful.
"Ascension with others? Unheard of!"
"This action will surely anger the heavens. That female cultivator and her hundred disciples have probably already turned to ashes under the heavenly tribulation."
"Maybe I'll succeed. Once I ascend to the upper realm, I will definitely find them."
