After thinking for several seconds, Ling Tian lightly waved his hand toward this boy. A mysteriously imperceptible force easily entered this boy's consciousness without anything happening at first glance.
Subsequently, Ling Tian glanced at Xuan Li and then sat down. Lang Qingzu was still sleeping peacefully without letting go of Ling Tian, so he held her in his arms gently.
Ling Tian kept watching Lang Qingzu and without hesitation, he cast a relaxation and peace spell on her, so that she would sleep for a long time and without bad dreams. Lang Qingzu's mind had been completely exhausted, being filled with anxiety and sadness, so Ling Tian wanted her to sleep peacefully, especially because she was so young.
Time passed quickly.
* Boom! *
After 3 days of isolated cultivation, a powerful aura burst forth from Xuan Li's small body!
An aura that rivaled those terrifying Nascent Soul realm experts slightly shook the place once Xuan Li opened her eyes.
Ling Tian raised his eyelids slightly, looking at Xuan Li in the center of the place that looked like she was about to become a little warrior goddess. Lang Qingzu was still still sleeping in his arms; her eyelashes trembled slightly as if she was about to wake up before calming down and going back to sleep.
"This..."
Xuan Li was stunned as she felt a powerful force in her body. Her hands opened and closed, feeling an endless energy as well as a force in her hands that felt like she could shatter space itself.
If Xuan Li, who had felt a tremendous surge of power when she entered the Golden Core realm and felt powerful, now at this moment she felt that she could defeat a dozen of her previous selves with just the flick of a finger.
"You have reached the limit of your cultivation realm base, so you will need to break through the first heavenly tribulation on your way to continue advancing. This way, if you succeed, you will manage to enter the Nascent Soul realm and finally manage to open your Knowledge Sea."
The 80-year-old old man appeared in front of Xuan Li and commented with a smile. Even he was surprised but very satisfied with Xuan Li's breakthrough; at this moment, Xuan Li was half a step to Nascent Soul realm!
From the recent Golden Core Early Stage to the Peak in three days, Xuan Li's aptitude and talent were far from ordinary!
"Heavenly Tribulation?" Xuan Li was dumbfounded and her face slightly paled.
Xuan Li had already heard and also knew about this Heavenly Tribulation, and even she had already seen several of her senior sisters and some senior brothers face this Heavenly Tribulation. Every cultivator who pursues the path of immortality has to face many challenges and trials, and this heavenly tribulation is one of those terrifying trials!
But now that it was her turn to face it, Xuan Li did not know what to do. Just several days ago she was barely a weak Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and now she was already about to face her first heavenly tribulation in order to enter the famous Nascent Soul realm and join the ranks of world-renowned experts. She never imagined that this moment would come in just a few days.
"Just break through, free your mind from all distractions and focus on facing your heavenly tribulation. This is something that only you will have to face alone from now on and no one will be able to help you or prevent it. If you want to keep moving forward and reach your Master, then you have to be brave and not hesitate on your own path."
Suddenly, Ling Tian's voice was heard, attracting Xuan Li's attention.
Of course! All this that has happened so far has been thanks to the presence of this supreme ancestor of the sect!
The Master of her Master, her Grandmaster!
Xuan Li nodded with a firm expression towards Ling Tian after looking at him for a few seconds. Her gaze also shifted to the sleeping Lang Qingzu who seemed to have a gentle smile as she was having a pleasant sleep, which made Xuan Li completely relieved.
Although Lang Qingzu is not her real blood sister, to Xuan Li she really is like her blood younger sister, so Xuan Li was relieved and happy that she was fine.
A terrifying pressure enveloped the place soon after, focusing on Xuan Li as she concentrated on breaking through.
"This place has many formations, and among them, there are some remaining ones that still work until now and can help you break through by letting in the heavenly lightning." The 80-year-old man spoke quickly, waved his arm and several hidden formations activated.
The ceiling seemed to blur, disappearing completely as the sky came into full view. Gray clouds, with thunder and lightning crossing between the numerous gray clouds quickly became more visible once they sensed Xuan Li's direct presence.
Ling Tian and the old man moved several meters away from Xuan Li, entering another formation zone that excluded them from Xuan Li's proximity and not disturbing or interfering with her heavenly tribulation by summoning more lightning by their presences.
After three whole days had passed, there were several cultivators who had managed to pass the first test and were now struggling arduously in the false heart illusion test. These cultivators seemed to be in another area the same way Xuan Li was, but at this moment they disappeared when the old man activated the formations, as if teleporting them elsewhere.
"I think you only know a little bit about the Nascent Soul realm, so I'll give you some essential tips to make it easy for you and so you don't tempt your way blindly. I will also tell you something essential about Heavenly Tribulations."
Suddenly, Ling Tian spoke calmly and with his finger pointed towards Xuan Li, sending a small wisp of energy that entered her mind. A small colorless pill also flew out from Ling Tian and landed on Xuan Li's hand.
Xuan Li was stunned for a moment before she closed her eyes and quickly began to comprehend the small packet of information Ling Tian transmitted to her despite not having a knowledge sea. Her hand had also taken the pill Ling Tian gave her.
The load of information was little, with a few sentences, images and feelings, but this was enough for Xuan Li as she opened her eyes resolutely and nodded earnestly. The paleness in her face greatly diminished as did the fear and main nervousness; although there was still fear and trepidation, Xuan Li was completely determined.
Her eyes fixed on her hand and looked at the small colorless pill, being shocked inside when she finally knew what this pill was and its immeasurable value: the Nascent Embryo Pill that will allow her to break through to the Nascent Soul realm more easily! And it is a very high quality pill!
"If you're not going to give it to her, then I'll give it to her. It's good that she has a small backup to lean on even if she doesn't use it..."
"What...?!"
Ling Tian's voice quietly reached the old man, startling him as the next moment he was shocked to see Ling Tian lightly wave his hand and a jade box containing patterns and runes embedded on the surface flew towards Xuan Li.
"This one is for you. Use it only if you have the need and feel that you will be in danger when you are in the midst of your tribulation." Ling Tian commented casually, but nodded confidently to Xuan Li.
Xuan Li took the jade box subconsciously, marveling briefly at its design before opening and looking inside. An expression full of shock and stupefaction was painted on Xuan Li's face before she smiled gratefully at Ling Tian and took the items to put them in her own storage ring.
"Thank you, sect ancestor!" Xuan Li smiled sweetly towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian nodded with a gentle smile. His arms were still carrying the sleeping Lang Qingzu.
"Sect Ancestor?"
The old man muttered to himself as he heard Xuan Li referring to this young man in such a way very often. But he was suddenly angry and upset to see that Xuan Li had thanked Ling Tian about the jade box, this jade box was part of the main and true inheritance, and it was hidden in a very protected place!
This old man didn't know how this other guy could easily obtain that jade box and unlock his protection formation!
It even seemed like Ling Tian had already known about it for a long time!
Who the heck was this young man who wasn't even 30 years old supposed to be?!
Finally, the sky clouded over completely, not letting any ray of light pass through in a certain area. A powerful coercion enveloped Xuan Li, marking an area around her as lightning illuminated the slightly dark sky.
"Remember, neither I nor anyone else can interfere in this tribulation of yours, so you will be on your own and you will have to resist and persist with all your might."
Ling Tian's voice came for the last time, stealing the old man's words when it seemed that he too was about to say the same thing. Although usually when one was facing heavenly tribulation they would have to be accompanied by a senior expert to save them in case they couldn't resist the heavenly tribulation, Ling Tian didn't want Xuan Li to be overconfident because of this and manage to succeed on her own.
"Understood!" Xuan Li nodded very seriously. She sat in lotus position and concentrated deeply, feeling the coercion in her body and comprehending everything that was happening.
Ling Tian nodded and said no more. Everyone had to be responsible for their own heavenly tribulation and pass it successfully if they wanted to attain immortality. But Ling Tian scorned this and mocked the heavens, for the heavens were not fair even though it was said that the will of heaven would always seek balance and equilibrium.
However, even though Ling Tian had said that he would not help, if something went wrong, he would of course help Xuan Li, his grand disciple. It's just that he wants Xuan Li not to be overconfident and therefore she would not completely strive to succeed. If Xuan Li learns to resist and make it on her own, her spirit and power will be far above ordinary.
But if for some reason Xuan Li failed, there would be no problem. Ling Tian would help her to prepare her and help her obtain her heavenly tribulation again.
"But that won't be necessary..."
Ling Tian whispered softly to himself, looking at Xuan Li. His intense deep jet black eyes then looked at Lang Qingzu in his arms who seemed to want to wake up from her long slumber, before calming down and sleeping on, as if she was very much at ease in her dreams. Lang Qingzu even unconsciously settled herself more towards Ling Tian, a faint happy smile was marked on her cute little face.
A few seconds later, an arc containing nine slightly blue glowing lightning bolts at least a meter long fell from the sky, heading towards Xuan Li and striking her fiercely.
After thinking for several seconds, Ling Tian lightly waved his hand toward this boy. A mysteriously imperceptible force easily entered this boy's consciousness without anything happening at first glance.
Subsequently, Ling Tian glanced at Xuan Li and then sat down. Lang Qingzu was still sleeping peacefully without letting go of Ling Tian, so he held her in his arms gently.
