Chen Mobai and Qing Nu discussed the Eastern Wilderness's defenses against potential Demon Path assaults, identifying the Burning Heaven Meridians as the primary target following his deity transformation display, while emphasizing the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation's protective strength and contingency plans to abandon outer territories if necessary. After a tender parting marked by intimacy, Chen Mobai journeyed to Mount Tianpeng on the Yellow Dragon, where he gifted Zhuo Ming a substantial portion of fifth-rank true spirit flesh from Civet Power to propel her stagnant Ninefold Law Body toward great perfection. The group deliberated on enlisting Sky Meal Building chefs to prepare the rare ingredient, then turned to the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, where Chen Mobai assessed its near-readiness for breakthrough and instructed Zhuo Ming to harvest branches as seeds before initiating the "Pulling Seedlings to Promote Growth" technique.

"Madam, please step back a little further. It could cause issues if you stay to observe the mountain."

Chen Mobai nodded while addressing Qing Nu, who stood not too far off. With a potential Rank-5 Heavenly Tribulation on the horizon this time, he had already drawn the Spirit Vein Qi from the Eastern Wilderness to this spot via the Earth Network Great Formation. To play it safe, however, only he and Zhuo Ming remained atop the peak.

Since Zhuo Ming possessed the deepest knowledge about this Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, her support proved essential during its breakthrough process.

Qing Nu gave a nod, then led the little Yellow Dragon Girl—now shifted into her human shape—down to the mountain's base.

This location served as the Alchemists' practice ground for the Five Elements Sect, falling under Qing Nu's oversight as the chief Alchemist.

Ye Bopei, the one managing it, felt immense astonishment upon spotting Qing Nu's arrival.

Before long, the grand array of this practice site glowed brightly, and every Alchemist in session received orders to halt, using the minor teleportation array set up there to head over to the closest Fang Market.

Using his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai confirmed that all disciples had departed from the mountain's base. He gave Zhuo Ming a nod, then stretched out the fingers on his right hand. The Rank-5 Sprouting Light poured forth from his fingertips, wrapping the entire Five-Cornered Ancient Maple in its glow.

Boom!

In the Red Leaf Market close to Mount Tianpeng, the Alchemists from the Five Elements Sect who had just been teleported over abruptly caught the sound of rumbling thunderclaps echoing loudly.

All eyes turned skyward in the thunder's direction. Right then, brilliant green lightning crashed down from above, resembling verdant lances tearing apart the sky and ground.

Those who beheld this sight couldn't hold back their shock.

The Alchemists who made it into the Five Elements Sect ranked among the very best, typically top talents from the prominent Scholarly Mansions. They instantly recognized this as a Heavenly Tribulation.

Thinking back to Ye Bopei's hasty summons for them to evacuate Mount Tianpeng, they realized deep down that the tribulation's core lay at the summit.

Yet even from a hundred miles distant in the Red Leaf Market, the green lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation remained vividly clear, hinting at the sheer dreadfulness of the thunder right at its heart.

"Is this Elder Zhuo's Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation?"

A lovely female Alchemist voiced her guess without restraint.

Though none had witnessed a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation before, they figured such intense might could only mean that.

Everyone knew Zhuo Ming was overseeing the mountaintop. Ye Bopei frequently called her down to give talks, given her status as the Five Elements Sect's top Spirit Plant Master, and elixirs obviously relied heavily on Spirit Plants.

"Enough guessing around. Come with me to the sect's cave dwelling first. I'll set up places for you to stay."

Ye Bopei, having teleported there too, cut off the students' chatter.

As a Heterodox Golden Core Cultivator, he sensed the Heavenly Tribulation far more intensely, deeming it even scarier than a Nascent Soul one.

[Rumor has it the Sect Leader has lingered at Nascent Soul Complete for ages, and Mount Tianpeng boasts one of the Eastern Wilderness's few potent Fire Spiritual Veins—could this be...]

Ye Bopei pondered inwardly that Chen Mobai might be tapping Mount Tianpeng's Spirit Vein for a Divinity Transformation attempt, explaining Qing Nu's role as guardian.

Still, he kept this thought entirely to himself.

After all, Divinity Transformation hung in the balance!

The idea of the Five Elements Sect rising to Holy Land status stirred Ye Bopei's blood as a onetime Back to Sky Valley follower, making it surge uncontrollably.

Back in his younger days, he viewed himself superior, convinced the desolate and lagging Eastern Wilderness limited his gifts. Had he originated in the East Land, he believed his alchemy prowess could have landed him in a Holy Land.

But with age and advancing cultivation, Ye Bopei grasped that the Eastern Wilderness alone let him shine as an alchemy prodigy.

In the East Land, he might not even snag a menial job at a Holy Land.

Now, though, Ye Bopei faced a genuine shot at elder status in a Holy Land.

"Diao Hai, guide the students toward the cave dwelling area. I'll link up with the town guard."

Just then, a Foundation Establishment spiritual glow flared from Red Leaf Market's heart, speeding this way. Spotting it, Ye Bopei directed Diao Hai nearby before flying out to meet the arrival.

Word of the green thunder from the Heavenly Tribulation over Mount Tianpeng's Spirit Vein quickly swept through the entire Five Elements Sect.

Even though Chen Mobai had earlier informed Zhou Shengqing and the rest about his impending seclusion for Divinity Transformation, they all assumed he'd choose the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion for it.

So this development drew numerous Nascent Souls from the Five Elements Sect to check things out.

Qing Nu gave no details, simply noting that Chen Mobai was secluding himself at Mount Tianpeng. Once he returned to the Holy Land, the Eastern Wilderness required a marker of his presence here.

Mount Tianpeng, with its Fire Spirit Vein, matched those needs perfectly.

The Heavenly Tribulation tied to the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple's leap to Rank-5 spiritual plant status also helped throw off any outsiders.

Upon Zhou Shengqing and the others' arrival, seeing Qing Nu there, they didn't hang around, just offering wishes for Chen Mobai's successful seclusion.

Before long, Five Elements Sect disciples swelled in numbers within a thousand-mile circle around Mount Tianpeng, with Yu Lian from the Penalty Evil Hall taking personal command to block any disruptions during Chen Mobai's seclusion.

The green thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation over Mount Tianpeng raged on for an entire month.

Its overwhelming presence made even Yu Lian, a Golden Core Cultivator, shiver in terror, as every green bolt could effortlessly end her life.

Over that month, the relentless strikes from the Heavenly Tribulation's green thunder plunged half the Eastern Wilderness into a sudden chill, even sending snowflakes swirling from the heavens to blanket the expansive terrain.

This stemmed from the yin cold nature of the green thunder, striving to fully eradicate the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple and snuff out every last spark.
