Time flies.
Another month has passed.
During this period, he visited all 27 remaining mines, but did not touch three of them.
"I didn't expect that the ones stationed here are Mahayana cultivators. It seems that these three mines must be very rich."
The fact that the Demonic Sect would expend so much manpower speaks volumes about its value; the total amount of spirit stones must be at least over a trillion.
I glanced at the accumulated attribute panel.
[Attribute Points: 365 trillion]
"That's enough. Once I break through to the Tribulation Realm, I'll come back and plunder these three super-large mines."
Using his escape technique to distance himself from the Eastern Region, he looked around and finally decided to break through at the border between the Eastern and Western Regions.
Set up various defensive formations around the perimeter, and then open the system panel to allocate skill points to Deep Blue.
[Attribute Points: 365 → 245 trillion]
Cultivation Level: Early Mahayana Stage → Early Tribulation Stage
"Buzz!"
The sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and rolling thunder was brewing in the clouds. Its coverage was so wide that it could be seen with the naked eye from hundreds of millions of miles away.
"This is the tribulation lightning of the Transcending Tribulation Realm, located at the eastern and western borders."
Many influential figures chose to come and observe.
The tribulation was still brewing; it has to be said that the prelude to each tribulation was the slowest.
For Li Daoxuan, the tribulation was like child's play, since he broke through his cultivation level first and then underwent the tribulation of the same realm.
Unlike other cultivators, who have to endure the tribulation of the next realm, only those who can withstand it can break through in cultivation, while those who cannot will die and their cultivation will dissipate.
It took three days for the lightning tribulation to begin to descend.
During this time, many cultivators with high cultivation levels arrived at the scene to observe.
However, due to the power of the lightning tribulation, no one dared to approach within a hundred miles of Li Daoxuan.
Once you enter, you will be judged by the lightning tribulation as someone undergoing tribulation, and you will be subjected to the tribulation along with them. If you help, the power of the tribulation will continue to increase.
"Break through a realm and blast out a bunch of old fogies."
Li Daoxuan looked around.
Within my divine sense, most of those present were Mahayana cultivators, and I wondered if there was a sixth Tribulation Transcending cultivator hiding in the shadows.
"It shouldn't be that they're targeting me like this."
Putting his worries aside, if the sixth Tribulation Transcending Elder really did ambush him, he could instantly break through to the late Tribulation Transcending stage with his remaining attribute points.
Even if the opponent is at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, he can still escape using various methods.
If the opponent is below the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, then they will become the first to kill someone in their own Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Everyone around watched in silence, choosing not to interact with their peers.
Soon, the tribulation lightning, which had been brewing for three days, finally struck.
"boom!"
The intense purple light streaked across the sky, breaking through layers of eighth-order formations and striking directly at Li Daoxuan's crown chakra.
Before that, Li Daoxuan used the Azure Emperor Primordial Shield to defend himself.
The first lightning tribulation lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it stopped.
He estimated the power of the lightning tribulation and concluded that he could withstand it with his physical body without suffering any damage.
This was a rare opportunity to temper his body, so he chose not to reduce its power.
So when the second lightning strike came down, he shut down all the defensive formations and did not cast any more defensive spells.
"boom--!"
Bathed in thunder, the blood within his body underwent an extreme sublimation, and his flesh crackled and popped.
The observing cultivator looked surprised; he had actually chosen to tough it out?
The second lightning tribulation ended after an incense stick had burned.
Seeing Li Daoxuan completely unharmed and showing no signs of weakness, all the cultivators present found it absurd!
The tribulation lightning didn't give them much time to think; rolling thunderbolts followed one after another.
About a day and a half later.
The nine-nine tribulation of lightning has finally been completed.
Li Daoxuan scanned his surroundings with his divine sense. The tribulation had ended, and most of the cultivators had already left, while some remained where they were, their eyes filled with hesitation.
Seeing that they hesitated to come forward, Li Daoxuan felt bored and simply chose to leave, having no intention of playing with them.
He vanished from the spot in a flash.
"Sigh, I was hoping to take advantage of the situation, but the other party didn't look like an injured person at all. How could the tribulation of the Tribulation Stage be so easy?"
Everyone was puzzled.
......
Li Daoxuan randomly carved out a cave dwelling in the mountains and went into seclusion once again.
Several months later.

......
High-level meeting of the Demon Sect.
Any high-ranking individuals with some influence who gather together.
Their faces were grim, and an unnamed anger surged within them.
"It's most likely the work of the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"Their Holy Maiden has a criminal record. I never expected that the mighty Heaven and Earth Sect would do such petty theft!"
"Heh, I just want to know how the Heaven and Earth Sect managed to mine all 49 veins in just a few months?"
Even if all the high-ranking members of their sect came out to undergo tribulation, it would still take them several years to dig!
Everyone fell silent; they couldn't understand it either.
Moreover, they are currently engaged in battle with the Heaven and Earth Sect, and their high-level combat forces are tied up with them, making it impossible for them to mine every day without the sect's knowledge.
"Regardless of the circumstances, since they dare to do such a thing, they should be prepared to be retaliated against. If they rob a few of our mines, we won't say anything. After all, we did it before, so it's just a matter of reciprocity."
But this time, the Heaven and Earth Sect has really purged us! If we don't reclaim the spirit stones, we won't even be able to supply the resources needed for our subordinates' cultivation.
"That's right, rob him!"
Everyone agreed.
They began gathering manpower to prepare for a massive raid on the mines under the control of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
......
Several months later.
"Demon Sect, you're courting death!"
The sudden attack caused heavy losses to the Tiandizong mine.
"What? You're allowed to plunder our mines, but we're not allowed to steal from you?"
Even if the heavens intervene, we're still in the right!
They disregarded the support offered by the elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
At worst, we can advance the war by one stage and go straight to a high-level showdown.
"Bullshit! When have we ever stolen your mines! You wolfish ambitions, yet you dare to argue! Die!"
Countless supernatural powers and spells flashed through the air.
A great war sweeping across the Eastern Divine Continent has officially begun.
