I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1443 - 866: Master’s Crossing the Tribulation (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The trees in the yard stood more robust than before, their lush branches and leaves casting a shadow over half the area. Nourished by Spiritual Energy, they had even transformed into spirit trees. The yard itself was impeccably clean, devoid of any weeds. It was evident that during their absence, the villagers had maintained the property with regular upkeep.
Lu Qing stood amidst the familiar surroundings, a wave of nostalgia washing over him. Decades had passed, yet the scene appeared unchanged. However, he also felt that everything had indeed changed.
Little Yan and Little Li, less sentimental, immediately busied themselves upon entering. Little Yan began tidying the house, while Little Li, in their customary manner, perched on Lu Qing’s shoulder.
Lu Qing settled onto the stone bench in the yard, tilting his head to observe the night sky. He sat in quiet contemplation, relishing the rare moment of tranquility.
As dawn was just breaking the following morning, the group commenced their journey. Their chosen location for the tribulation crossing was deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, situated behind the village.
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation was no minor event; the ensuing tribulation clouds would blanket a vast area, and the pervasive tribulation qi would impact all life within hundreds of miles. Proximity to the village risked inadvertently affecting the residents.
The elder doctor departed without informing anyone, accompanied only by Wei Shanhai.
"Doctor Chen, you are excessively reserved," Wei Shanhai remarked as he followed, "The tribulation crossing is a momentous occasion; the entire village should be informed to offer their support."
The elder doctor offered a gentle smile. "The Primordial Spirit Tribulation hinges on one's own foundation, not external encouragement. Knowledge of it would only cause them undue worry."
Wei Shanhai considered speaking further but ultimately refrained. He understood the elder doctor’s point; in matters of tribulation crossing, external assistance was impossible, and awareness only bred anxious apprehension.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, a solitary peak pierced the clouds. This mountain, standing isolated with ample open space around it, presented the ideal setting for a tribulation crossing.
Lu Qing ascended to the mountaintop, surveyed the vicinity, and then made a gesture with his hand. Streams of mana flowed from his palm, integrating into the mountain's core. Shortly thereafter, the ground beneath them emitted a subtle tremor, as if awakening something concealed deep within.
"What is Young Master Lu doing?" Wei Shanhai inquired, bewildered.
Little Yan provided an explanation: "My brother is channeling the earth veins' Spiritual Energy to erect a formation that will assist Grandpa Chen during his tribulation." She recalled how, during her and Little Li’s tribulations, her brother had established the Heaven and Earth Array, significantly easing their trials.
As she finished speaking, luminous spirit light flared around the peak before quickly vanishing, leaving the impression that nothing had occurred. Yet, Wei Shanhai felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance settle within him.
"This Heaven and Earth Formation," Lu Qing stated, withdrawing his hand and approaching the elder doctor, "should you possess surplus energy during the tribulation, you may draw upon the formation’s power for assistance. Otherwise, it will serve to mitigate some of the tribulation's aftermath."
The elder doctor acknowledged this with a nod, offering no further words. He drew a deep breath and slowly began his ascent towards the mountaintop.
Lu Qing, along with Little Yan and the others, retreated to a distant peak to observe from afar. Wei Shanhai followed suit, his gaze fixed nervously on the elder doctor's figure atop the mountain.
"Doctor Chen... will he succeed?" Wei Shanhai could not help but ask.
Lu Qing offered him a cursory glance and replied indifferently, "Master has dedicated many years to cultivation, possessing a profound foundation. A mere Primordial Spirit Tribulation poses no threat to him."
Hearing this, Wei Shanhai felt a measure of relief. Nevertheless, his eyes remained fixed on the mountaintop, unwilling to look away.
The elder doctor stood motionless upon the mountain's summit. He gazed skyward, his expression serene, as if confronting not a trial of life and death, but an ordinary summer shower.
After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes, his aura starting to surge, stirring the latent numinous force of the tribulation from its depths. In the ensuing instant, a vast surge of energy emanated from him, ascending directly into the heavens. This was the culmination of his years of suppressed cultivation, now fully unleashed.
A magnificent, divine wave suddenly erupted from the heavens above. The sound was overwhelmingly majestic, resonating deep within the soul and causing both heart and spirit to tremble. Soon after, the once-clear sky began to rapidly darken. Countless threads of tribulation qi coalesced from the void, swirling above the elder doctor and gradually forming a colossal vortex.
A swirling vortex, spanning hundreds of miles and turning slowly, gave the impression of a colossal eye gazing down upon the minuscule figure positioned below.
"A Heavenly Tribulation Vortex," Little Yan whispered.
Having recently undergone her own Primordial Spirit Tribulation, she found the spectacle all too familiar. However, as she observed the elder doctor's Heavenly Tribulation Vortex, a feeling washed over her that her own tribulation had been considerably less imposing.
The vortex was immense, almost consuming the entirety of her vision. Its sheer scale suggested that the swirling cloud qi possessed the power to engulf the entire sky.
Furthermore, the subtle aura emanating from within the vortex conveyed a depth far exceeding her own experience.
"Grandpa Chen is truly formidable..." Little Yan uttered with genuine admiration.
Lu Qing remained silent, his gaze fixed on the unfolding event.
His eyes pierced the dense clouds, focusing on the tribulation clouds that were coalescing within the vortex. Simultaneously, his mind shifted, activating his unique superpower.
"I wonder about the level of Master's heavenly tribulation," he mused.
The formation of a Primordial Spirit Tribulation is dictated by the immutable rules of the Dao, independent of the transcender's geographical location.
Consequently, whether situated in a Small World or a Great World, a cultivator's heavenly tribulation is intrinsically tied to their personal cultivation progress and accumulated strength.
Master's tribulation thunder appeared robust, possessing a substance even greater than Little Yan's.
Moreover, given that he cultivates the rare Water and Fire Dao, it is highly probable that this Primordial Spirit Tribulation will prove more potent than Little Li's heavenly tribulation.
Before long, under Lu Qing's attentive observation, several streams of information materialized within his field of vision.
Scarcely had he finished processing this information when the tribulation clouds within the heavenly tribulation vortex commenced their condensation. A brilliant golden radiance erupted from the vortex's core.
Countless threads of tribulation qi materialized from the void, gathering and spinning above the elder doctor, gradually forming a colossal vortex. This vortex, spanning hundreds of miles and rotating slowly, resembled a massive eye peering down at the insignificant figure beneath it.
"Heavenly Tribulation Vortex," Little Yan breathed out.
Having recently navigated her own Primordial Spirit Tribulation, the scene struck her as intensely familiar. Yet, observing the elder doctor's Heavenly Tribulation Vortex, she couldn't help but feel that her own tribulation had been markedly less formidable.
The vortex was colossal. So vast it nearly blotted out her entire view, its immensity suggesting the swirling cloud qi held the power to consume the heavens.
Additionally, the aura emanating faintly from within the vortex was far more profound than anything she had experienced.
"Grandpa Chen is incredibly powerful..." Little Yan stated sincerely.
Lu Qing offered no words, merely watching with unwavering focus.
His sight penetrated the dense cloud cover, locking onto the tribulation clouds coalescing within the vortex. At the same moment, a subtle shift occurred in his thoughts as he activated his extraordinary ability.
"I'm curious about the intensity of Master's heavenly tribulation," he wondered.
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation is established by the fundamental laws of the Dao, unaffected by the location of the individual facing the tribulation.
Therefore, irrespective of whether one is in a Small World or a Great World, a cultivator's heavenly tribulation is solely dependent on their individual accomplishments and qi accumulation.
Master's tribulation thunder was formidable, exhibiting a potency even greater than Little Yan's own.
Moreover, as he cultivates the uncommon Water and Fire Dao, it is quite likely that this particular Primordial Spirit Tribulation will surpass Little Li's heavenly tribulation in strength.
Shortly thereafter, while Lu Qing observed intently, multiple informational readouts appeared within his line of sight.
Upon concluding his perusal of these details, the tribulation clouds within the heavenly tribulation vortex began to consolidate. A dazzling golden light burst forth from the heart of the vortex.
Master's tribulation thunder was robust, even more substantial than Little Yan's.
Moreover, cultivating the rare Water and Fire Dao, it’s likely this time’s Primordial Spirit Tribulation would be stronger than Little Li’s heavenly tribulation.
Soon, under Lu Qing’s watchful gaze, several strips of information floated within his sight.
As he finished reading those strips, the tribulation clouds within the heavenly tribulation vortex also began to condense. A radiant golden light bloomed at the vortex’s center.
