Ten days after Ling Qi's enlightenment, he finally faced the tribulation lightning for Nascent Soul formation. The entire True Transformation Sect was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, and the overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth swept across the entire sect. The sect's protective array was activated instantly, protecting all the disciples from being caught in the tribulation lightning.
As if receiving an order, all the disciples in the sect, whether they were cultivating, sparring, or copying homework as punishment, put down what they were doing and rushed towards the main peak.
Although the tribulation lightning is terrifying, it is a rare sight for a cultivator to form their Nascent Soul. The tribulation lightning always carries a trace of the Great Dao. If one can comprehend even a fraction of it, it will be of great benefit to the disciple's future cultivation.
The True Transformation Sect clearly excels in education. As early as when they learned that Ling Qi might advance to the Nascent Soul stage, You You had already chosen an excellent location and temporarily built a viewing platform. He also had Yuan Qi set up multiple defensive formations around it to ensure safety while allowing the disciples to observe and comprehend the teachings up close. Moreover, the place was large and spacious enough to accommodate all the disciples.
As for Wei Bi, Feng Yu, and the others who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, they didn't need to comprehend the realm they had ascended to, but You You still assigned them other tasks. Each of them carried a bulging storage bag, moving like diligent little bees around the viewing platform, occasionally offering reminders.
"Spirit Gathering Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, anyone want one? Just made, it enhances spirit and invigorates the mind, essential for sudden enlightenment. Anyone who forgot to prepare one can get one from me first."
"Pressure-relief talismans, pressure-relief talismans, does anyone need more? If you feel weak, short of breath, or have chest tightness and discomfort, remember to stick on a pressure-relief talisman to alleviate the effects of the oppressive force of heaven and earth. If you didn't bring any, come and get some from me!"
Disciples occasionally raised their hands in the arena.
"Master Kui, I...I forgot to bring it!"
"Elder Feng, I also need a pressure-relief talisman."
"Me too!"
"I'll take one too."
For a time, those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage became the busiest people in the sect.
Ning Hui, who has experienced two lifetimes in the immortal sects: "..."
I always felt that something was off about the True Evolution Sect. Compared to other immortal sects, it was really... so different.
Even the sect leader...
He inexplicably thought of a figure who had followed them, this group of new disciples, through an entire introductory lecture just two days ago. He had been reborn several times, each time joining a different immortal sect, including some top-tier ones. Naturally, he had seen celestial maidens during his introductory sessions, but none of them had ever been as...peculiar as Sect Master You.
Recalling the scene of planting his spiritual root that day, a bitter feeling, indescribable in its depths, welled up in his heart. Especially when it was his turn to plant his spiritual seed, the sect leader clearly remembered him, recognizing him as the person who sat next to her in class. This should have been a good thing; after all, to be remembered by a sect leader was incredibly fortunate. Even the senior disciples who had been with the sect for a long time envied his good luck.
If... the sect leader didn't explain further.
"It's you! Your handwriting was pretty good in class just now, it looked quite neat! After Ling Qi undergoes his tribulation, why don't you be his helper?" You You said with a smile, then changed the subject, "By the way, I'll remember to remind Qiu Zhang about you helping your classmate cheat! After all, it's not good behavior!"
Ning Hui: "..."
It's... heartbreaking!
Qiu Zhang, living up to his legendary reputation as the renowned master of the Immortal Realm, was as strict as an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves when teaching his disciples. He immediately arranged punishments; not only him, but everyone in the class was punished by copying Qiu Zhang's manual. However, while others were punished with ten copies, he was punished with thirty. Furthermore, he was required to write a reflection of no less than five thousand words, along with a plan for revising and improving the technique.
He's been copying books so diligently these past two days that he's practically exhausted, and his wrists are so sore he can't even lift them anymore.
He deeply reflected on his actions, wondering why he had been so soft-hearted and impulsive, giving the answers he had written to someone else, and cheating right in front of the sect leader.
I regret it!
He sighed deeply, weakly glancing up at the highest point of the observation deck. The view was blurry, but he could vaguely make out a figure clutching their head, buried in a pile of documents, groaning in despair. Suppressing the bubbling sadness in his heart, he focused his attention on the person in the center who had already begun their tribulation.
This is the tribulation lightning for Nascent Soul cultivators. In his previous lives, he had never encountered or witnessed the formation of a Nascent Soul cultivator because he hadn't lived very long. Moreover, witnessing it so closely was a rare opportunity that he should seize.
Sure enough, before long, thick, snow-white bolts of lightning fell from the clouds, striking down towards the center of the plaza. Instantly, the entire main peak was bathed in white light, and boundless pressure swept outwards, only to be blocked by the array.
The disciples focused their minds, striving to sense even a trace of the Heavenly Dao's intent, seizing the time to improve themselves. Even the few Nascent Soul cultivators who had been moving among the disciples, distributing pills and talismans, quietly withdrew from the arena, no longer disturbing them. They merely watched the disciples with even greater vigilance, fearing that someone might succumb to the pressure and something unexpected might happen, temporarily acting as security.
The lightning in the sky grew increasingly intense, each strike more ferocious than the last. Originally, everyone could still see Ling Qi's figure on the plaza, but gradually the area above was completely submerged by the lightning.
Aside from those with higher cultivation levels, almost no one else could sense the other's presence. Yuan Qi, however, paused for a moment, looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky, and said, "Huh, Ling Qi's Nascent Soul tribulation is much easier than Kui Bi's last one."
"Easy?" Youyou pointed to the thick bolts of lightning in the center. "Was the lightning from Kui Bi's time even more powerful?" Kui Bi wasn't in the sect when she formed her Nascent Soul.
“Indeed! The last time was twice as dangerous as this.” Yuan Qi nodded, his eyes deepening, and he also sensed a hint of tolerance within the heavenly tribulation.
"Why?" Are there differences between the tribulation lightning of Nascent Soul stage?
Yuan Qi smiled even more broadly, looking at her meaningfully and saying, "Perhaps it was the state of mind that you helped him comprehend that just happened to align with the Great Dao! That's why the Heavenly Tribulation was so lenient towards him."
"..." What's your state of mind?
You You only half understood what was being said, but it seemed that the lightning in the sky had almost all struck. The last bolt of lightning had already fallen, and theoretically, this should have been the most dangerous and powerful one. However, surprisingly, Ling Qi's tribulation lightning didn't seem particularly ferocious; it struck directly and then disappeared instantly.
Then suddenly the sky brightened, and countless rays of seven colors dispersed all the dark clouds above, enveloping the entire Zhenyan Sect in a misty light.
"It's an unusual phenomenon!"
