CHAPTER 379: CHAPTER 374: NASCENT SOUL TRIBULATION

With a crisp sound accompanying the clear sound.

The Reincarnation Pearl in Li Quanqing’s hand shattered completely, the last strand of true meaning dissipated, desperately transforming into an illusion realm, attempting to pull the cultivator before him into it.

Yet, from beginning to end, Li Quanqing’s gaze remained as clear as ever, without a hint of confusion.

These illusions, which once could confuse him, now can be easily pierced with a glance, perhaps even indifferent.

"The Hundred Tribulation Dao Heart, it’s achieved."

Li Quanqing’s emotions were neither sad nor joyous, only a faint thought emerged, as if transcending the mundane, forgetting both self and things.

"It’s time for Nascent Soul."

Li Quanqing withdrew his palm, reflecting on nearly one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, having prepared to the utmost in all aspects.

The only thing left to do can be summed up in one word—

Charge!!

Charge through, and the sea and sky are boundless.

If he cannot charge through... that is absolutely impossible!

Li Quanqing compared himself; he had already achieved the pinnacle of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Considering all aspects, with trump cards so numerous it’s terrifying.

Even a Divinity Transformation parent-child, when breaking the core to form the nascent soul, would likely receive this kind of treatment, making failure implausible.

Even if it were a pig...

Ahem, better not say that. If he truly didn’t succeed, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Li Quanqing stood up, heading toward the Ten Thousand Fish Pond to inform the Old Clan Chief in his divine state.

His breakthrough to Nascent Soul is no small matter; it requires drawing power from the entire Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, affecting clan members’ secluded cultivation, therefore needing to be deployed in advance.

Besides this, family defenses must also be completed to the utmost, fully activating the Five Elements Lotus Array to prevent interference from Nascent Soul cultivators at the final moment.

This is not only his breakthrough, but also concerns the entire Green Jade Li Family’s rise!

The Old Clan Chief Li Zongyao was not surprised by his arrival, or rather prepared, having long awaited this day.

He even proposed calling Li Kunlun back from Qingchen Immortal City, being the family’s only late-stage Golden Core, with formidable combat power.

Li Quanqing, however, refused.

Li Kunlun now sits in the Immortal City, dealing daily with two Nascent Soul sects, returning at this moment could easily arouse suspicion.

As for family safeguarding, relying on his six Golden Core Demon Beasts, along with the Old Clan Chief, Li Kunli, and Guardian Clan Spirit Venerable.

Plus the Ice Phoenix Puppet, simultaneously controlling the Fourth Rank array to repel enemies, is sufficient to support his successful tribulation.

Whether Li Kunlun returns or not makes no difference.

Three days later, the Li Family began to implement stringent precautions, externally relaxed but internally tight, with the entire Qingyu Cave Heaven quietly sealed, allowing entry only, no exit.

All clan members in secluded cultivation were awakened; the Nascent Soul Tribulation affects the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins’ transformations, along with the descent of heart demons, easily leading these low-rank cultivators astray into madness.

The entire Jade Dragon Pond was transformed into a forbidden area, preventing any clan members from approaching, arrays weaving together in lockdown.

Even the Green Jade Carp and Spirit Fish in the pond were relocated to the Ten Thousand Fish Pond to avoid suffering.

Ten days passed, the world was silent, a storm brewing.

Li Quanqing alone, sat cross-legged atop the empty pond water, waves surged, transforming into a lotus to lift his body.

Before him, one treasure after another emerged, radiating endless rays, brimming with precious aura, each enough to drive those Golden Core cultivators mad.

Saint Infant Pill, Five Thunder Miro Umbrella, Whale Emperor Sacred Armor, Han Yuling, Demon Dragon Spear...

Li Quanqing gazed at these treasures, confidence brimming in his heart.

If he does not succeed, Heaven might just be intolerant!

The next moment, Li Quanqing no longer suppressed his mana fluctuations.

Heavenly River power roared like a volcano, surging vigorously, the mana around him crashing like a huge wave, all rushing into the deepest part of the Heavenly Vault, stirring up the storm!

Inside the Dantian, the deep-sea Golden Core gleamed brightly, seeming to illuminate his body, nascent Qi entangled, as if transforming into a divine artifact to break the core and emerge!

Rumble!!

Under the influence of qi, in just a fraction of a second, the sky suddenly darkened, rolling black clouds surged like tidal waves, instantly obscuring the entire grotto heaven.

Silver-white lightning arcs rampaged through the clouds, emitting deafening roars, vaguely hinting at golden thunder light.

Boom!

Not a moment to breathe, the first heavenly thunder, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, thundered down, heavenly might sweeping through.

Li Quanqing’s eyes glinted sharply, his hand formed a spell, and the Five Thunder Miro Umbrella automatically opened above him, transforming into a five-colored curtain sweeping the heavenly vault.

The heavenly thunder struck the treasure umbrella, exploding into blinding light, countless arcs burst open, dancing on the umbrella surface, then were fully absorbed by the thunder runes.

The massive impact caused Li Quanqing’s body to tremble, consuming a significant portion of his mana.

Immediately, the second and third heavenly thunder struck successively; the frequency sped up, the power surged, dazzling thunder light flickering non-stop in the sky.

Li Quanqing stood under the treasure umbrella, still calm and composed; truly a tribulation treasure, its power astonishingly strong.

He even had the thought to extract the heavenly thunder’s power to temper the Hanhai Bowl in his hand, aspiring to evolve toward the level of Fourth Rank Spiritual Treasure.

"The twelfth strike..."

Li Quanqing raised his head, looking at the boiling dark clouds, its sound rumbling, heavenly might vast, there appeared a moment of respite.

The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation consists of thirty-six strikes, and with every twelve heavenly thunder strikes passed, the power ascends to a new tier.

Indeed, just the next moment, as the tribulation clouds exhaled and inhaled, a golden-silver lightning pillar suddenly descended, thick-as-a-mountain, like a divine sword!

Not comparable to the previous heavenly thunder’s power!

Li Quanqing’s face was solemn; suddenly within, his palm pressed tightly against the umbrella’s ribs, no longer holding back the Heavenly River power, fully pouring it in!

Rumble!

The Five Thunder Miro Umbrella collided with the gold-silver lightning column, exploding in an incomparably dazzling light, the thick lightning rampaged across the sky.

The five-colored curtain swept through, runes like the sea, as cloud steamed and sunset glowed, fully displaying the five elements’ mutual generation and restraint mystery, devouring all the heavenly thunder!

"Why do I feel... my thunder tribulation seems much stronger than Zhao Qian’s, is it because I used a secret treasure?"

The twenty-fourth heavenly thunder struck, Li Quanqing’s hand holding the treasure umbrella trembled slightly, blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth, appearing somewhat disheveled.

These gold-silver thunderbolts wielded excessive power; an ordinary Golden Core Perfect cultivator, struck by one, would have bones shattered, tendons broken, and severely injured!

The power was unexpectedly strong.

According to some ancient texts, heaven’s tribulation descends to test the cultivator’s own Dao practice, using external items to escape tribulation has indeed a suspicious element of cheating.

The Heavenly Dao senses it, often raising the thunder tribulation’s intensity a notch, demonstrating fairness to all beings.

Li Quanqing glanced at the Miro Umbrella, the umbrella surface blazing with thunder light, all the runes lit up like a five-colored sun shining brightly.

Rumble!!

The twenty-fifth heavenly thunder descended, its power increased another level, actually transforming into pure golden lightning, like the heaven-opening divine sword descending.

Golden heavenly thunder flashed, seemingly concentrating all cosmic abilities for an instant, heaven and earth’s light dimmed in comparison!

Just the power of this single thunder could instantly kill a Golden Core Perfect cultivator without any resistance!

"This leaves no room to live..."

Li Quanqing’s hair flew wildly, robe fluttering, gaze suddenly resolute.

He unexpectedly ceased defending, instead charging upwards, confronting the heavenly might, directly colliding towards the golden heavenly thunder.

Simultaneously, the Miro Umbrella in his hand blazed brightly, similarly erupting five-colored thunder light from the umbrella surface, releasing the absorbed tribulation thunder’s full power.

Completely pouring out!
