Gu Chunxiao and Song Nanhe, one has entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the other has entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Chu Hongluan darted forward, grabbed one in each hand, and moved away from the area where the tribulation lightning was about to strike.
Li Dazhuang and Qiao Yue are both at the Nascent Soul stage.
Liu Jinghong was distracted.
Layer upon layer of thunderclouds hung in the sky, brewing an extremely terrifying pressure.
Chu Hongluan felt a little sorry for her courtyard, but when she thought that it would be rebuilt at public expense, she didn't feel sorry for it anymore.
The tribulation lightning struck the three of them almost simultaneously.
"Boom—"
This tremor instantly alarmed the entire nameless immortal mountain.
Even the residents of Linxian Town at the foot of the mountain all looked up.
"Is another immortal about to undergo tribulation?"
"Such a terrifying tribulation! It must have at least produced a Nascent Soul cultivator, right? Could it be that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is about to produce another powerful figure?"
"Why do I feel like it's the Tribulation Transcending Stage? Look at the thunderclouds in the sky, they've formed such a huge expanse!"
"Tribulation Transcending Stage? Impossible! Throughout the entire world, you can count the number of Tribulation Transcending Stage experts on your fingers. Apart from that freakish Sword Sect, the other eight major sects each only have one Tribulation Transcending Stage expert!"
"Yes, yes, on the nameless immortal mountain, apart from the Grand Ascension stage Tianji Pavilion Master who is still in a coma, the only Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator is the Pavilion Master's wife."
"Oh my, this is incredible! Maybe one of the elders has actually broken through to the Tribulation Realm? Broaden your horizons! Just because we insignificant people can't break through to a high realm in our lifetime doesn't mean others can't."
Rumors spread that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had gained another Tribulation Transcending Realm elder to oversee the area.
On the nameless immortal mountain, the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were relatively close to the tribulation clouds and could tell that several people were undergoing tribulation together.
"That... seems to be Elder Chu's courtyard, right?"
"Elder Chu has broken through the Divine Intervention Realm?"
"It seems there are still two Nascent Soul cultivators. Let's go take a look, soak up some of their good fortune, and maybe we can gain some insights."
The disciples stopped sweeping the courtyard, those who were cultivating stopped cultivating, and even those who were just eating frantically shoveled food into their bowls as they ran over to watch.
As they got closer, they discovered that Elder Chu, whom they had been talking about, was standing at the front of the highest point, watching from the sidelines.
Looking further into the center, it turned out that the one undergoing the tribulation was actually their young master!
"My God! It's actually Senior Brother who broke through the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Hiss—it's one thing to recover from the Golden Core and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but it hasn't been long and he's already been thrown into a state of distraction again?"
"Waaaaah, I hate it! Did you see those? They're all new junior brothers and sisters who joined this year. They only went out with Elder Chu a few times, and their cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds!"
"Hey, isn't our senior brother the same? He cultivated his Qi all the way to the point of being swayed by the divine, and his miraculous healing skills are beyond words."
"Eh? But why hasn't Elder Chu broken through himself?"
"Yes, I remember she was already at the early Nascent Soul stage when she arrived, right?"
"Hey, you two are quite the actors. With your skills, one at Foundation Establishment and the other at Golden Core, how could you possibly see through Elder Chu's strength? It's just that Dan heard she was only at the early Nascent Soul stage and assumed she was only there. Have you forgotten? When Elder Chu participated in the entrance trial, the Spirit Testing Plate exploded."
The man teased mysteriously, "Why don't you use your little brains and think about it? Is the spiritual power measured by the spirit-testing plate really her upper limit?"
"My God! This is terrifying to think about!"
"Incredible! Incredible!"
"Well, I have a bold guess..."
"What?"
"Let me analyze this for you, and you can listen and see if it makes sense."
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already."
"Look, our Elder Chu is a sword cultivator, right? And she never uses any sword techniques in battle... How can a sword cultivator have such skill without even using sword techniques? Is it possible that she's hiding something?"
"Hidden from what? Hiss—you wouldn't be thinking of saying...?"
"What if her identity is exposed once she uses the sword technique? What if the sword technique she practices is the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, which is passed down only by the Sword Sect?"
"Heavens! Could Elder Chu be a spy sent by the Sword Sect?! Ouch! Who hit me?!"
A burst of spiritual energy struck his forehead, producing a crisp sound.
The disciple looked up and saw Chu Hongluan looking at him with a half-smile: "I can hear you."
Even from that distance, her voice could reach them very clearly, as if it were whispering in their ears.
That smile, that tone of voice...
The group of disciples who had been huddled together discussing something just moments before blushed instantly, and awkwardly bowed and apologized: "This disciple spoke recklessly, please forgive me, Elder Chu."
Chu Hongluan deliberately threatened them: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll skin you alive."
After saying that, he turned his attention back to Liu Jinghong.
The disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew they were talking nonsense. What undercover agent? He had saved the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion from danger multiple times and even helped them break through in their cultivation. He was practically a living bodhisattva.
One bolt of lightning after another struck down, blasting bricks, tiles, and wood chips into Chu Hongluan's courtyard.
The people inside were all charred black from being hacked, their original faces unrecognizable.
It's unclear how much time passed or how many bolts of lightning struck, but the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
Qiao Yue was the first to complete her tribulation and stabilized at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was terrified by the barrage of lightning.
With a light tap of her toes, Chu Hongluan leaped into the courtyard amidst gasps from the crowd, scooped up Qiao Yue, and carried her out of the eye of the storm.
