Nishino's eyes were wide open as he intently gazed at the rising sun in the sky, his face full of excitement.
The wind howled, whipping his blue cloak as if to blow away his frail body.
Although it wasn't the first time he had witnessed someone else transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality, he was still very excited.
In particular, Dongxi's Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation this time was even more powerful than the ones he had seen before.
However, only if Dongxi survives these three heavenly tribulations will he have the opportunity to face the final three tribulations.
Nishino had great confidence in Dongxi, believing that he could transcend the tribulation and ascend to immortality.
Xiao Ye and Ling Jingxuan were so nervous that their palms were sweating. As long as Dongxi could withstand the three lightning tribulations tonight, he could become the king of Shenxian Mountain.
Once he loses, he dies.
Anri, Wutian, and Guaiguai are likely in grave danger.
Several cultivators on Immortal Mountain were dissatisfied with An Ri's occupation of the mountain. Among them were five cultivators: two at the late stage of Void Refinement, one at the mid-stage of Body Integration, one at the mid-stage of Mahayana, and one at the early stage of Tribulation Transcending.
They are conspiring together to seize the Immortal Mountain.
I've been holding back all this time, waiting for the right opportunity.
But they never expected that Dongxi's strength had increased so much. After experiencing the three tribulations of heavenly lightning in the middle stage, as long as he goes through the final three tribulations in a while, he will be able to ascend to immortality.
An Wan was being held by the arm by Guai Guai. Because of her nervousness, Guai Guai's nails dug into her flesh, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
"Don't be afraid, sweetie."
"Master, will Xixi succeed?"
"Yes, believe him. Close your eyes, it's coming." An Wan covered Guai Guai's eyes, and saw the third purplish-red heavenly lightning strike down from the sky, aimed at Dong Xi's head.
At the moment of impact, both sides released tremendous force.
A violent shockwave shot out instantly, causing the earth to shake violently; it was twice as powerful as the fifth heavenly lightning strike.
He Sichen and Lu Jiayan were not strong enough and were thrown three meters away by the shockwave. It was only because An Wan used a talisman that they were not injured.
Even Xi Ye, Xiao Ye, and Ling Jingxuan had to use defensive talismans to protect themselves from harm.
"Ahhhh—"
Dongxi was enduring the power of the heavenly lightning. His teeth were clenched tightly, his face contorted in pain, and his whole body was convulsing with agony. He even felt his soul trembling.
You can do it! Hang in there!
Whether for yourself, for Anwan, or for Guaiguai, you must accept this divine punishment; you absolutely cannot lose.
"Ah—" Dongxi Chaotian roared with all his might. After he unleashed all his power, golden light enveloped him, and the power of the heavenly lightning was completely absorbed.
After a cloud of dust...
The lightning and thunder ceased, and Shenxian Mountain fell silent.
An Wan lowered her hand and looked up at the sky. She could no longer see the terrible lightning phenomenon, and only saw Dongxi floating high in the sky.
Guai Guai opened her eyes and saw Dong Xi unharmed high in the sky. Excitedly, she shouted, "Xi Xi, Xi Xi—"
That's good, he's alright.
Everyone present saw Dongxi.
Lu Jiayan and He Sichen walked to An Wan's side and looked up at Dong Xi as she slowly flew down.
"Congratulations, you succeeded." Xi Ye, Xiao Ye, and Ling Jingxuan ran over to congratulate them.
For thousands of years, very few cultivators have been able to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, and for three thousand years, not a single one has transcended the Tribulation and ascended to immortality.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Dongxi was undoubtedly a strong person.
Dongxi's eyes, however, were only on An Wan. "Master—"
He wanted her approval and blessing.
"You're amazing." An Wan opened her arms and hugged him, her voice hoarse and choked with emotion, her eyes misting over.
"Master, thank you." If she hadn't transferred half of her power to him, he probably would have been injured all over even if he had succeeded in this tribulation.
That night, some were happy, and some were angry.
The scene of Dongxi crossing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder left an indelible impression on He Sichen's mind.
The next day, he pestered An Wan to test his spiritual root, wanting to try it while the immortal mountain still had spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, the five people who coveted the location of the Immortal Mountain, as mentioned by Nishino, were plotting in a cave.
Anri is elusive and no clues can be found.
They had no choice but to focus their efforts on Guai Guai and Wu Tian, because these two spirit pets had relatively low cultivation levels and were easier to target.
Dongxi had already reached the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so even if the five of them joined forces, they could only capture him alive.
Although they are both at the Tribulation Transcending stage, the difference in strength between the early and late stages is enormous.
After setting their sights on Wutian and Guaiguai, they kept a close eye on them.
As a result, the two of them rarely went out, and even when they did, they always went out together, and they made a point of concealing their presence and whereabouts, making them very difficult to detect.
The five of them couldn't find an opportunity to strike.
Although Xi Ye, Xiao Ye, and Ling Jingxuan had close ties with An Wan and a good relationship, the three of them kept a low profile and never boasted about their relationship with An Wan or how many high-grade talismans, pills, and magical artifacts they had in front of outsiders.
Over the years, even though their cultivation had reached the Void Refining stage, in the eyes of outsiders, they were still considered to have extremely low cultivation levels and to be honest and easy to bully.
...
On the afternoon of the second day after Dongxi entered the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, Anwan and the Lu family were still in Lujia Village, waiting to go to the county town the next day.
She went to He Sichen's room and took out a spirit-testing stone the size of a table from her spatial storage.
This aroused He Sichen's curiosity, and he touched the cool spirit-testing stone.
"This is the spirit-testing stone?"
"Would I use a fake to fool you? Quickly put your hand on the lotus pattern in the middle of the spirit-testing stone."
An Wan glanced at him lazily, disliking his slow pace.
Sensing her displeasure, He Sichen dared not play any more games.
