I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1443 Chapter 866: Master's Crossing the Tribulation (Part 2)

The trees within the courtyard were more vigorous than in bygone days, their branches and leaves spreading wide, casting a shadow over half the grounds.
Moreover, sustained by Spiritual Energy, these trees had transformed into spirit trees.
The yard itself remained immaculate, not a single weed in sight.
It was evident that during the years of their absence, the villagers had consistently tended to the yard's upkeep.
Lu Qing stood amidst the familiar surroundings, a wave of wistful emotion washing over him as he took in the scene.
After being away for decades, the place seemed unchanged.
And yet, in a way, everything felt different.
Little Yan and Little Li, less prone to sentimentality, immediately busied themselves upon entering.
Little Yan began organizing the house, while Little Li, as was her habit, settled onto Lu Qing's shoulder.
Lu Qing took a seat on the stone bench in the yard, tilting his head back to observe the night sky.
He remained still, his mind clear, simply savoring the rare moment of peace.
At the crack of dawn the following day, the group embarked on their journey.
The chosen location for the tribulation was deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, situated behind the village.
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation was no minor event; once tribulation clouds manifested, their vast expanse would spread, and the resulting tribulation qi would affect all living things for hundreds of miles.
Proximity to the village would inevitably expose the inhabitants to its effects.
The elder doctor departed without informing anyone, accompanied solely by Wei Shanhai.
"Doctor Chen, you are being overly reserved," Wei Shanhai remarked quietly as he followed, "Facing a tribulation is a momentous occasion; you should have informed the entire village, allowed them to offer their support."
The elder doctor offered a gentle smile, "The Primordial Spirit Tribulation relies on one's own foundation, not on the encouragement of others. Revealing it would only cause them undue worry."
Wei Shanhai started to speak, but ultimately remained silent.
He acknowledged the elder doctor's wisdom. When it came to matters of tribulation, external assistance was impossible, and knowledge of it would only lead to anxious concern.
Far into the expanse of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, a solitary peak soared towards the heavens.
This mountain stood apart, encircled by open terrain, marking it as an ideal spot for weathering a tribulation.
Lu Qing ascended to the summit, surveyed the area, and then made a motion with his hand as if pressing gently.
Streams of mana emanated from his palm, infusing themselves into the mountain's core. Shortly thereafter, the earth itself gave a subtle tremor, as if awakening something from deep beneath.
"What is Young Master Lu doing?" Wei Shanhai inquired, puzzled.
Little Yan provided an explanation, "Brother is drawing upon the earth veins' Spiritual Energy to establish a formation that will assist Grandpa Chen with his tribulation."
She recalled how, when she and Little Li had faced their own tribulations, her brother had erected the Heaven and Earth Array, significantly easing their trials.
As she concluded, a spiritual light flickered into existence around the peak, only to vanish again, leaving the impression that nothing had occurred. Nevertheless, Wei Shanhai experienced a profound sense of reassurance. "This Heaven and Earth Formation," Lu Qing stated, withdrawing his hand and landing before the elder doctor, "If you find yourself with surplus energy during the tribulation, you can draw upon the formation's power. Otherwise, it will serve to mitigate some of the tribulation's residual effects."
The elder doctor simply nodded, offering no further words.
He drew a deep breath and slowly made his way towards the mountaintop.
Lu Qing, accompanied by Little Yan and the others, retreated to a distant peak to observe from afar.
Wei Shanhai mirrored their action, his gaze fixed anxiously on the elder doctor's solitary figure atop the mountain.
"Doctor Chen... will he be successful?" he finally asked, unable to suppress his concern.
Lu Qing spared him a glance, responding with an indifferent tone, "Master has dedicated many years to cultivation, possessing a profound foundation. A mere Primordial Spirit Tribulation poses no threat to him."
Wei Shanhai felt a measure of relief upon hearing this.
Yet, his eyes remained glued to the mountaintop, unwilling to look away.
The elder doctor stood serenely on the summit.
He gazed upward at the sky, his demeanor composed, as if confronting not a trial of life and death, but a simple passing thunderstorm.
After a moment, he gently closed his eyes, his aura beginning to surge, stirring that thread of the tribulation's numinous force from the hidden depths.
In the ensuing moment, a vast wave of power radiated outward from him, ascending directly into the heavens.
This was the cultivation he had held in reserve for years, now fully unleashed.
A magnificent, divine wave of energy suddenly erupted from the sky above.
The sound it produced was unimaginably majestic, piercing to the very soul, causing both heart and spirit to tremble.
Soon after, the once-bright sky began to rapidly darken.
Tribulation qi, originating from the void, began to gather and swirl above the elder physician, gradually forming an immense vortex.
This vortex stretched for hundreds of miles, its slow rotation akin to a colossal eye casting its gaze upon the minuscule figure far below.
"A Heavenly Tribulation Vortex," Little Yan uttered softly.
Having recently undergone her own Primordial Spirit Tribulation, this spectacle was all too familiar to her.
Yet, observing the elder physician's Heavenly Tribulation Vortex now, she suddenly perceived her own tribulation as considerably less imposing.
The sheer scale of the vortex was overwhelming.
It was so vast it nearly consumed the entire field of vision, so grand that the swirling cloud qi appeared poised to engulf the heavens themselves.
Furthermore, the subtle aura emanating from within the vortex held a depth far exceeding anything she had personally experienced.
"Grandpa Chen is truly formidable..." Little Yan remarked with sincere admiration.
Lu Qing remained silent, his attention fixed on the unfolding scene.
His gaze pierced the dense clouds, focusing on the tribulation clouds coalescing within the vortex.
Simultaneously, his thoughts stirred as he activated his extraordinary ability.
"I wonder what level Master's heavenly tribulation has reached."
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation is indeed governed by the immutable laws of the Dao, its nature unswayed by the location of the cultivator undergoing the trial.
Consequently, whether within a Small World or a Great World, a cultivator's heavenly tribulation is intrinsically linked solely to their individual accumulated cultivation and understanding.
Master's tribulation lightning was exceptionally potent, even more substantial than Little Yan's own.
Moreover, given the rare cultivation of the Water and Fire Dao, it was highly probable that this particular Primordial Spirit Tribulation would prove more arduous than Little Li's heavenly tribulation.
Shortly thereafter, under Lu Qing's steady observation, several fragments of information materialized within his line of sight.
As he finished perusing these details, the tribulation clouds inside the heavenly tribulation vortex began their condensation process.
A brilliant golden luminescence blossomed at the very core of the vortex.
