It was already afternoon.
Feng Yuanning was considering whether to leave the room when suddenly a muffled thunder sounded.
Is it going to rain? She walked to the window and looked up.
However, I saw that dark clouds had gathered in the sky at some point, covering most of the hotel. Lightning flashed in the clouds, emitting a thrilling divine power.
Feng Yuanning felt inexplicably frightened.
This thundercloud that suddenly gathered out of nowhere was obviously abnormal.
"System, what's going on with the thundercloud outside?"
"Answer the host. This is the Tribulation Cloud. Should we escort the person undergoing the Tribulation out of the hotel to avoid disturbing others?"
Feng Yuanning was stunned: "Overcoming the tribulation? Will it affect others?"
"Indeed. This is the advanced heavenly tribulation for cultivators. Once it fully develops, those who previously avoided the thunder tribulation through abnormal means will also be struck by it. By then, with the accumulation of multiple heavenly tribulations, I'm afraid no one will be able to survive."
"Avoiding the thunder tribulation in an abnormal way? What do you mean?"
Although there is no heavenly tribulation in the world of Xianjian, in the book "Xiu Xian", the cultivators will encounter the test of heavenly tribulation every time they improve their realm.
But as far as she knew, so far, in this martial arts world, no cultivator had ever attracted a heavenly calamity.
She originally thought that there would be no heavenly calamity, but unexpectedly it turned out to be not the case.
In fact, when the system extracts skills from it, it almost always makes modifications to it in order to adapt to the rules of this world.
Even magic has lost its sound and light effects, becoming almost impossible to solve. So what's so strange about cultivating immortality without having to endure the test of heavenly tribulation?
Unexpectedly, this is not the case.
wrong!
After finishing her mission of resurrecting the innocent dead, she actually discovered by chance a few days ago that after the world was upgraded, magic finally evolved to version 20. Now magic has sound and light effects, and can also be avoided with physical skills.
What she should have thought of at the time was, of course, that although it could not be completely consistent with reality, it still had certain reference value.
The system replied: "Those who originally had a certain foundation in cultivation and were directly transformed into immortal cultivators."
"I understand!" As expected, Feng Yuanning made a decision immediately, "Send that person who is undergoing the tribulation out of the hotel. I will remind him to stay away as far as possible."
She stood up and left the room, walked quickly into the elevator, took the elevator to the first floor, and then walked into the gatehouse from the lobby.
In front of the gatehouse, Luo Xiaofeng, the master of Jianshan Mountain, was standing there with a frown on his face. It was obvious that he didn't fully understand the current situation.
Feng Yuanning felt complicated for a moment. He didn't expect that Luo Xiaofeng had completed the advancement just after receiving the task.
This is really a coincidence. If Luo Xiaofeng can successfully overcome the tribulation, then the mission can be completed today, right?
Feng Yuanning immediately warned, "Lord Luo, that is your advancement tribulation. To avoid harming innocent people, please leave here as soon as possible and go to a deserted place to overcome the tribulation."
Luo Xiaofeng came to her senses and finally understood why she was kicked out of the hotel: "Thank you for the reminder, owner. I'll leave now. Goodbye."
She immediately took up her sword and left, and the calamity cloud immediately followed her like a shadow.
Feng Yuanning watched her go, feeling somewhat worried. "System, since there will be a heavenly tribulation when advancing, will the tribulations she avoided before be compounded this time? Can she survive it?"
"The probability is low, but she can only rely on herself to get through it. If others interfere, it will only further aggravate the tribulation."
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Should she be glad?
When she designed opportunities for her training targets, in order to prevent them from becoming suspicious, she did not limit herself entirely to improving their realm, but also gave them other props such as weapons, talismans, pills, etc.
This must be the reason why the system did not sentence Luo Xiaofeng to death.
However, Feng Yuanning couldn't help but feel worried.
If even Luo Xiaofeng fails to pass the tribulation, it will be difficult for others to succeed, and the mission of the Dimension Gate cannot be completed as soon as possible.
"The host didn't ask."
Feng Yuanning held his forehead: "...Okay."
After all, the system is not a human being and has always been very rigid. It is better to blame herself for not thinking of it in advance than to expect an AI to remind her.
"Shopkeeper, is this the same heavenly tribulation mentioned in the book 'Cultivating Immortality'?"
Feng Yuanning looked back and found that it was Song Yuluan with a nervous look on her face. In addition to Song Yuluan, many other people had followed out.
Everyone pricked up their ears in concern, waiting for her answer.
Feng Yuanning nodded. "That's right. I was so busy earlier that I forgot to tell you. As the book says, every time a cultivator advances, they encounter a heavenly tribulation. Some of you switched cultivation midway and were able to avoid the previous tribulations. This isn't a good thing. There are no loopholes in the world to exploit. The next time you advance, the tribulations you've avoided will accumulate, multiplying the power of this one."
Song Yuluan's face changed drastically: "Shopkeeper, then my master is in great danger, isn't he?!"
Feng Yuanning consoled her, "Relax, she has some protective gear, so she shouldn't be in dire straits. The rest of you must not interfere, or you'll be dragged into it and intensify the power of the calamity."
Although she said this, in fact, she was no less worried than Song Yuluan.
At this moment, in the distance, the calamity cloud was finally brewing, and began to accumulate power and gather lightning, striking down with terrifying power.
Song Yuluan breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned: "Thank you, owner."
The others were silent, with complicated expressions, each with their own thoughts.
Among those who cannot cultivate immortality, some turn a blind eye to things that do not concern them, while others secretly gloat over other people’s misfortunes.
Among those who were able to cultivate immortality, some began to worry about their future, but some were secretly glad that they still had the opportunity to prepare for future tribulations so as not to be caught off guard by the heavenly tribulations.
Feng Yuanning turned around and went back to the hotel, taking the elevator back to his room. After all, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.
She walked to the window and looked at the place where Luo Xiaofeng was undergoing the tribulation. She saw that heavenly tribulations were constantly striking her, leaving her no room to breathe.
One, two, three, four...
Feng Yuanning counted silently in his mind. The lightning became stronger each time, and the color also showed signs of gradually deepening. Both the quantity and quality were constantly improving.
Ten, eleven, twelve...
Feng Yuanning continued to count.
Luo Xiaofeng did not let her down. Relying on the elixirs, talismans, etc. obtained from the magic sword, he persevered again and again.
Fifteen, sixteen...
At this point, it seemed that all the props had been used up. Luo Xiaofeng was obviously extremely weak, but he did not take out anything else.
But the heavenly tribulation still showed no signs of ending.
Feng Yuanning felt anxious. He had persisted for so long and must not collapse halfway.
In the distance, when another heavenly calamity was striking down, Luo Xiaofeng struggled for several times, managed to pick up the sword, and struck out at the thunder calamity.
But in a flash, the sword light was swallowed up by the lightning, and Luo Xiaofeng was immediately swallowed up by the lightning.
Feng Yuanning's heart sank. He clenched his fists nervously and prayed silently for her.
After the lightning dissipated, Luo Xiaofeng was almost turned into charcoal. She lay motionless on the ground, and seemed to have completely lost the ability to resist.
At this moment, the calamity clouds had quickly gathered into another bolt of lightning, which came down towards Luo Xiaofeng like an overwhelming force.
This is the eighteenth thunder of tribulation.
Feng Yuanning couldn't help but close his eyes. This thunder seemed to be more powerful, but Luo Xiaofeng was no longer able to resist.
It seemed like a century had passed, yet it also seemed like only a few seconds had passed. Suddenly, she heard the system prompt: "Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. You have unlocked the dimensional door and it has been bound to the hotel door. The host can now search for new worlds. You have triggered a new mission. Please check it yourself."
Feng Yuanning immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and only then realized that cold sweat had seeped out of his forehead.
She wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and looked into the distance.
The calamity clouds had indeed begun to dissipate, and Luo Xiaofeng lay motionless on the ground, the sword in her hand reduced to scrap metal. At the same time, a gentle beam of light shone on her, and her injuries quickly healed.
It seems that when the last thunderbolt struck, Luo Xiaofeng finally got up and fought back with all his might, thus saving his own life.
Feng Yuanning withdrew his gaze, sat back on the sofa, and opened the system interface.
The next task read: "Hold a large-scale event in a multi-purpose entertainment venue. The rewards will be randomly generated by the system. Upon completing the task, the host will receive a membership card upgrade opportunity, with the upgrade direction being random."
Feng Yuanning quickly asked, "System, do I get to decide the content of the competition myself?"
"Yes. Please complete the plan yourself, host."
"Oh." Feng Yuanning nodded.
Unfortunately, she couldn't think of any kind of competition for the time being. If it was just a martial arts competition, it would be a bit old-fashioned and boring. It seemed that she would have to think about it again.
Now let’s search for a new world.
Feng Yuanning entered the Dimension Gate management interface and began searching for a new world.
Some messy digital codes kept flashing in the interface. After a while, they stopped at the line of words "Number r6578". Immediately, this line of words also appeared in the list of linked worlds.
Nothing happened after that.
Feng Yuan sat quietly for a while, walked out of his room, and took the tram downstairs.
In the hotel lobby, she saw Luo Xiaofeng, Song Yuluan and others. She saw that Luo Xiaofeng had changed her clothes, as the clothes she was wearing before had been destroyed in the catastrophe.
Feng Yuanning had just walked out of the elevator when the usually taciturn Luo Xiaofeng walked up to her and expressed her gratitude to her sincerely, claiming that she was able to successfully overcome the tribulation thanks to those things from the world of fairy swords.
Her disciples and followers also came forward to express their gratitude to Feng Yuanning again and again.
Feng Yuanning waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him anymore, then sat down at the front desk and began to wait for the guests from another world.
