Chapter 2122: Chapter 2090: Master, I’m Going Through Tribulation Again
With the Cultivation Technique personally revised by Li Chen and his guidance, Xiao Chihan’s progress was frighteningly fast.
Enduring that long cultivating-in-hiding Time inside the Disk of Ages, then coming out to the outside world to comprehend and break through his bottleneck—now that was smooth.
Obviously, back when his cultivation was still low, Xiao Chihan had done this more than once in the Lower Realm.
After breaking through to Mid-Heaven Realm Mid-Stage, during these past few months, Xiao Chihan had been holed up in the Disk of Ages, constantly consolidating and improving.
Although only a few months had passed in the outside world, for Xiao Chihan this bout of Closed-door Cultivation had already lasted several years.
To the outside world, Xiao Chihan was a monster. From birth until now, counting by outside Time, he was just over ten years old!
But if you add in the Time tempered away inside the Disk of Ages, he was already over a hundred years old.
Of course, that was also because the Cultivation Technique he’d practiced in his early days was incomplete, and he had no one to guide him.
Still, being able to cultivate to this level all on his own without anyone’s guidance was already quite remarkable.
This was the strength of a pure heart!
No matter the talent, no matter the cultivation, he didn’t lack anything else—he had patience! No matter how hard it was, he could grit his teeth and endure his way through!
"Master." Seeing that slightly strange look on Li Chen’s face again, Xiao Chihan couldn’t help giving a dry laugh. "Um... I’m going to undergo Tribulation again."
"Get out there and handle it yourself." Li Chen finally couldn’t hold it in. Tribulation is Tribulation, why did he have to add an "again"?!
"Yes." Xiao Chihan awkwardly scratched his head, then dove out of the Flying Boat.
This time Li Chen no longer prepared anything for Xiao Chihan, he merely tossed him a few Recovery Pills.
When it comes to Tribulation, it’s hard to say whether weaker or stronger is really better. Sure, if the Heavenly Tribulation is weaker, it’s easier to get through. But the stronger the Tribulation, once you survive it, the greater the benefits.
On this point, Li Chen had already personally confirmed it many times.
Perhaps, ever since he entered the Heaven Realm, the reason he’d been able to constantly fight experts whose cultivation was higher than his own was largely because his Heavenly Tribulations had always been terrifyingly strong.
Not to mention anything else, Li Chen’s Calamity of the Heavenly King had very nearly taken his life.
But after the Calamity of the Heavenly King, Li Chen had directly hacked apart a Daluo Golden Immortal one whole order above him with a single blade!
You had to know, at that time Li Chen had only just finished undergoing Tribulation not long before!
Under an eagle’s wings, the fledgling will never learn to fly.
"Rumble!"
Before long, the Heavenly Tribulation descended with a thunderous roar.
Li Chen didn’t get close, but he opened his Divine Sense and Eye of the Dao at the same time, carefully observing Xiao Chihan’s situation.
Even if it was a test, if anything went wrong, he still had to keep his disciple’s little life safe.
He had many good qualities, but he was a bit overprotective of his own...
Of course, that was something everyone in the Palace of the Nether King knew.
"Mm, seems a bit stronger than a normal Envy Heaven Realm Heavenly Tribulation, but it’s not excessive. With that brat’s strength, it won’t be hard to endure."
Li Chen secretly nodded. Although Xiao Chihan cultivated extremely fast, his foundation was very solid. And that King-level Sword Technique Li Chen had thrown him afterward was no simple thing either; getting through the Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be difficult.
Just then, a few figures appeared within the range of Li Chen’s Divine Sense.
Two figures in front were fleeing, while several behind were chasing to kill.
Li Chen’s brows furrowed. With a flicker of his body, he quickly appeared in the direction they were chasing and fleeing.
Blocking the group, Li Chen spoke calmly, "There’s someone undergoing Tribulation ahead. Whatever business you have, go deal with it somewhere else."
In front, the ones fleeing were a man and a woman. The pair hadn’t even had time to say anything when their pursuers caught up. Seeing Li Chen, they casually waved a hand and said, "Heaven Sea Alliance doing business, unrelated people get out of the way!"
Looking at the group, Li Chen’s expression remained indifferent as he repeated, "I said, there’s someone undergoing Tribulation ahead. Whatever grudges you have, take it somewhere else. I won’t interfere."
"Interfere?" Among the pursuers, one person couldn’t help but sneer. "Heaven Sea Alliance doing business, and you still dare talk about interfering? Today, we’re settling this right here, what can you do about it? Never mind undergoing Tribulation—even if they were in the middle of mating, your granddaddy here would still go over and take a look!"
The Martial Artist beside him shot him a somewhat dissatisfied glance. Talking like that would easily earn Heaven Sea Alliance enemies. Although Heaven Sea Alliance feared no one, there was no need to stir up trouble for no reason.
But the words were already out, and he couldn’t very well weaken their Momentum, so he merely looked silently at Li Chen.
At this moment, that man and woman both had ugly expressions, clearly planning to run again. Only, because of Li Chen’s words, they intended to flee in another direction.
However, at this moment, Li Chen spoke.
"Fine, you want to watch? Then I’ll let you see clearly."
The group who claimed to be from Heaven Sea Alliance suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies, as if they’d been locked onto by some invisible Power.
And this invisible Power abruptly came from... the sky!
Pitch-black clouds gathered in an instant, as if a Heavenly Tribulation were about to descend. What was eerie was that the targets locked by this Heavenly Tribulation were actually them!
The group’s faces changed drastically, and they immediately tried to flee.
But just as they tried to escape, they suddenly felt the space around them turn as sticky as the deepest part of a Swamp, making it impossible to display any real speed.
"Wh-What... what’s going on?! I... I’m clearly in Zuitian Realm Middle Stage, how could I possibly be undergoing Tribulation?!"
"I just passed my Zuitian Realm Heavenly Tribulation not long ago!"
The group was completely panicked.
Li Chen looked at the group of Martial Artists calmly. He certainly wasn’t about to tell them that this Heavenly Tribulation was something he’d simulated.
Not long ago, his Law had broken through, and he’d wanted to test his Law Power. Using the Law of Feng Shui, he’d simulated Tribulation clouds, and as for the Heavenly Tribulation itself, he’d directly forged it using the Law of Thunder.
Anyway, these idiots couldn’t see through it.
"A False Heavenly Tribulation... not bad." Li Chen raised his head. The Heavenly Tribulation he’d forged really did have a bit of the flavor of a real Heavenly Tribulation. It could be considered a usable offensive method.
Because he’d discovered that his Law of Thunder Power, when it was within the thunderclouds created by the Law of Feng Shui, seemed to strengthen by quite a bit.
"Against a strong enemy, I can even use it to scare them." Li Chen suddenly thought of something.
What are High Grade Cultivators most afraid of?
Without a doubt, whatever else they feared, Heavenly Tribulation was definitely on that list!
Many people had their cultivation stuck at a certain Realm for years precisely because they didn’t have the confidence to get through their Tribulation.
Thinking of this, Li Chen’s eyes lit up again.
As for those Martial Artists locked down by the Law of Thunder, Li Chen couldn’t even be bothered to look at them again.
He’d set this False Heavenly Tribulation at the fifth-to-sixth-step level. Although it was ordinary Sky Thunder, these guys weren’t Domain King Level. Whether they lived or died would depend on their luck.
"If there’s nothing else, you two should hurry and go." Li Chen casually called out to the man and woman not far away.
Right now, that pair was staring blankly at the scene before them. Even if they were fools, their minds turned once and they realized this sudden Heavenly Tribulation definitely had something to do with Li Chen.
"Many thanks for your great kindness, Senior!" The two bowed to Li Chen in unison, gratitude on their faces. Then, without another word, they fled far away.
