While everyone was discussing who had entered the Golden Core stage, a long list of Panyun Peak disciples was drawn up. No one suspected that Yang Yitian had advanced.
Are you kidding me?!
How could a man who has just given birth possibly advance to the Golden Core stage?
Even if you want to repair damaged qualifications, it would take at least two or three years to recover. Some people, let alone two or three years, might never be able to repair their damaged qualifications in their entire lives.
The peak masters were also hesitant to approach, lest they interfere with the tribulation and affect the person undergoing it. So, they went to speak with the peak master of Panyun Peak to find out who was undergoing the tribulation.
When Pan Yunfeng Dengzhu learned of the purpose of the several peak masters, he didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he hadn't yet found out who was undergoing tribulation.
Zuoqiu Man said somewhat helplessly, "I don't know who is undergoing tribulation. My disciple just said it was someone from the Qi family. I didn't think of anyone from the Qi family who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment."
"It turns out the Qi family has advanced again. What kind of luck do these people have? They can advance so easily." Lei Zetian was a little jealous and curious, so he suggested, "Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe we can be of some help."
Upon hearing this, everyone went together to the location where the Qi family's tribulation was surging with lightning.
The first lightning bolt had already passed, but the next lightning tribulation was still brewing.
Seeing the tribulation lightning, Qi Zhiheng was a little anxious. The reason he was able to survive the tribulation lightning was thanks to the Five Elements Body Forging Technique he had practiced over the years. Although Yang Yitian also forged his body, his cultivation method was different, and he could not use heavenly lightning to forge his body.
While cultivating, Yang Yitian was also researching how to resist the lightning tribulation and survive it as long as possible.
The arrival of the peak masters surprised Qi Zhiheng. Wasn't this just advancing to the Golden Core stage? Why did these peak masters come as a team to watch?
Zuoqiu Man carefully counted the Qi family members, including the three crying children. Everyone was there except for Yang Yitian. He hadn't thought of Yang Yitian, who should be resting after giving birth.
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and bowed to each of them.
Zuoqiu Man inquired, "Is this an advancement?" "Mountain, and. Water, evening."
"Reporting to Peak Master, Yang Yitian is advancing in his cultivation level." Qi Zhiheng suppressed his somewhat anxious feelings.
Several peak masters were somewhat skeptical, and Zuoqiu Man asked again, "Didn't Yang Yitian just give birth? How come he's advanced again so quickly?"
Qi Zhiheng said, "Yi Tian didn't suffer much during his pregnancy, and the main reason he advanced was because he was a talisman cultivator. Once he reached a certain level of understanding, he was able to advance naturally."
“Even if he is a talisman cultivator, he still needs to meditate and cultivate. How could he recover so quickly after giving birth?” One peak master even suspected that Qi Zhiheng had forced Yang Yitian to have a child and then forced him to advance to the next level.
Qi Zhiheng came up with an explanation: "This disciple's alchemy skills are quite good. I found some formulas and have already helped him recover." He thought to himself, these peak masters are quite long-winded. It's just advancing to the Golden Core stage, what's the big deal?
Fortunately, these peak masters didn't know Qi Zhiheng's thoughts, otherwise they would have choked him to death. How could advancing to the Golden Core stage be a trivial matter? They made it sound so easy.
The news of Yang Yitian's advancement quickly spread throughout the vicinity. Many gossipy disciples on Panyun Peak had previously sympathized with Yang Yitian, but now that his cultivation had surpassed theirs and he had entered the Golden Core stage of tribulation, he was in a much higher position.
Among them were some sour grapes, who thought that the tribulation was so powerful that it was still unknown whether Yang Yitian could successfully overcome it.
Yang Yitian was struck by lightning and his body was covered in black. Fortunately, he had started preparing lightning-attracting talismans after Qi Zhiheng underwent his tribulation. Because Qi Zhiheng's tribulation was too strong, he felt that when Qi Zhiheng advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the momentum would definitely be even greater, so he needed to start researching lightning-attracting talismans as soon as possible.
And now, it can be used on myself.
As the second lightning tribulation struck, Yang Yitian activated a set of lightning-attracting talismans, instantly neutralizing nearly two-thirds of the tribulation's effects. He was much more able to withstand the lightning strike itself.
At this moment, the peak masters also saw the talisman he was using.
Standing beside Qi Zhiheng, the peak master of Panyun Peak asked, "What did Yang Yitian use? Is the lightning-summoning talisman that powerful?"
Qi Zhiheng was speechless. He was so worried about his partner, yet this peak master still had the leisure to chat with him. Fortunately, Yang Yitian was able to resolve the tribulation, so he could finally relax a little.
Qi Zhiheng replied, "That is the lightning-summoning talisman array that Yi Tian improved."
"A lightning-summoning talisman array? I've heard of a few, but none of them seem to be able to block the lightning tribulation of a Golden Core cultivator so effectively. Could he be using a level four talisman?" Zuoqiu Man stroked his beard.
"Peak Master is joking. This is only a level three talisman. Level four talismans are not something you can easily obtain," Qi Zhiheng replied, somewhat speechless.
Yang Yitian could indeed draw one or two level-four talismans, but drawing a level-four lightning-attracting talisman was still quite difficult. A level-four lightning-attracting talisman was something that only a typical late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could draw, far beyond what Yang Yitian could currently do.
More and more people came to watch the tribulation, and many of them came specifically to see Yang Yitian undergo his tribulation. The topic hadn't even died down before he started causing a stir again.
During the third lightning tribulation, Yang Yitian threw out another set of lightning-attracting talismans. Many people secretly regretted throwing out this handful of talismans.
"Yang Yitian is too extravagant! Everyone else uses lightning-summoning talismans one by one, but he must have at least a dozen in his hand."
"That's such a waste! Even if you were to use a dozen or so at once, you should wait until the final tribulation lightning strike. This is only the third tribulation lightning strike, right? If you can't even withstand this little bit of damage, what kind of immortality are you cultivating? Wouldn't it be better to go back and be a coward?"
"I just want to know, are the Qi family really that wealthy? They're actually willing to give Yang Yitian so many talismans all at once!"
These recent lightning-attracting talismans have caused great distress to many people. Although they belong to other people, the fact that they were used in such a serious incident still evokes a sense of heartache.
The people with the middle part of their hair were all asking about Yang Yitian's background.
"Could it be that her old man's husband used up all his life savings to help him pass through the tribulation?"
“Your idea is also possible. After all, Yang Yitian gave birth to three sons for him. Even if Yang Yitian was kidnapped or tricked at the beginning, he still gave birth to three sons. Even without an emotional foundation, he still deserves credit for his hard work.”
"I've heard so much from people, but who exactly is Yang Yitian's husband?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's the oldest member of the Qi family. I heard he's at the Golden Core stage."
"But I heard that apart from a few children and servants, everyone in the Qi family is at the Golden Core stage. The youngest Golden Core cultivator is also from the Qi family, right? His name is Qi Zhiheng."
"Qi Zhiheng? That can't be! Qi Zhiheng isn't an old man, did everyone say he is?"
Who said Yang Yitian's husband is an old man?
"Who said that? Everyone says so!"
"..."
The person asking the question was speechless.
Yang Yitian endured the lightning tribulation for about seven days, and the house he originally lived in was already in ruins due to the ravages of the tribulation.
The final lightning strike scorched Yang Yitian, even though he was prepared. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao's gift allowed him to barely recover his charred skin.
As soon as the lightning tribulation passed, Qi Zhiheng jumped out and wrapped Yang Yitian in his clothes.
Everyone witnessed this scene clearly. They couldn't believe it—the person who had just passed by wasn't an old man!
Fortunately, Yang Yitian hadn't gone out during this time and didn't know that his partner had been rumored to be an old man, otherwise he would have been furious.
Seeing that there were no major problems with the meeting and the people, I felt relieved.
Yang Yitian is doing alright now. He was initially being held by Qi Zhiheng, but Qi Zhiheng put him down later. With so many people watching, even the most thick-skinned person would feel embarrassed.
Qi Zhiheng took Yang Yitian to meet several peak masters first.
"Thank you all for your help in protecting me." Yang Yi always expressed his gratitude to these people, regardless of whether they were there to watch the show or genuinely to protect him.
Zuoqiu smiled with satisfaction: "Good! I didn't expect you to advance so quickly. It's a pity I didn't take you as my disciple sooner!"
In the Slaughtering God Sect, once someone reaches the Golden Core stage, they have the right to accept disciples. At this point, it becomes difficult for others to accept Golden Core disciples as apprentices.
"It's a real pity that I don't have a mentor like you to rely on. It's such a shame!" Yang Yitian said with a pained expression.
Zuoqiu Man was amused by his words and laughed, "Although we are not related as master and disciple, I will not stand by and do anything to anyone who bullies you!"
"Hey! I'm relieved to hear you say that. If anyone causes me trouble, please don't abandon me, Peak Master! I only came here so that you could be my backer," Yang Yitian flattered.
Zuoqiu Man said, "Don't worry, we at Panyun Peak will definitely protect you!"
With the assurances in hand, Yang Yitian was completely satisfied.
Not to mention Zuoqiu Man, the other peak masters also felt it was a pity. They originally thought that Yang Yitian probably wouldn't be able to make any further progress in the short term. Who knew that not long after, they were proven wrong. They had even gathered together to discuss Yang Yitian's cultivation before. Although it was just a discussion in their spare time, it was still a topic.
After Yang Yitian finished his tribulation, everyone dispersed. Many people speculated whether Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng were Daoist partners, but there was no conclusion for the time being. They were waiting for someone else to reveal the accurate information.
After Yang Yitian's breakthrough, Qi Zhiheng was about to leave and become a member of the Slaughtering God Sect. He would then have to take on a mission to enter the sect as an alchemist. The mission was to refine pills, so he planned to go to the mission hall alone to take on a few months' worth of missions.
