I'm About to Face My Tribulation

At Myriad Sword Peak, Taiyuan True Person held a tree branch and waved it towards the sea of clouds. An invisible, vast Sword Qi parted the clouds, stretching for thousands of feet.

A streak of light fell, the True Martial Sword returned to its sheath, Lu Changsheng appeared.

"Master's Swordsmanship is truly divine."

Lu Changsheng's cultivation has reached the peak of the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, and he is about to enter the Void Refinement Realm. He is increasingly feeling the power of Taiyuan True Person.

Taiyuan True Person has reached the realm where he has no sword in his hand but a sword in his heart. Even an ordinary tree branch can unleash a vast Sword Qi that stretches thousands of feet.

"Changsheng, have you come to comprehend the Myriad Sword Walls?"

"This disciple is about to Tribulation Transcendence and wishes to ask Master for guidance, as well as to request Master's Guardian during that time."

Lu Changsheng, shamelessly, asked the Mount Shu Sect Master, Taiyuan True Person, for Guardian.

He's too cautious.

Lu Changsheng had spent five years at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, constantly accumulating cultivation. His foundation was extremely solid, and he had also cultivated several Heaven Stage Cultivation Method. He was almost certain to Tribulation Transcendence tribulation, but he was still worried.

Lu Changsheng knew that he possessed Innate Dao Body, and that the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation during his Tribulation Transcendence would be exceptionally terrifying.

This time, we have invited Taiyuan True Person to Guardian. Even if we fail to Tribulation Transcendence, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"You've only been at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer for five years, haven't you?"

Taiyuan True Person was taken aback.

Lu Changsheng's cultivation speed is too fast.

The Dao Palace Realm and the Void Refinement Realm are the first insurmountable barriers to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm, marking the formal beginning of a cultivator's Heavenly Tribulation.

Previously, Qi Condensation Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and Dao Palace Realm did not need to face Heavenly Tribulation.

The higher a cultivator's talent, the stronger the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even geniuses, once they reach the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, must patiently consolidate their realm and make thorough preparations before daring to attempt to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Li Changye possesses the Myriad Desolations Indestructible Body, making his Heavenly Tribulations far more terrifying than those Tribulation Transcendence by ordinary cultivators. Therefore, Li Changye has been preparing for this for decades.

In Taiyuan True Person's view, Lu Changsheng's aptitude might be even higher than Li Changye's, and the Heavenly Tribulation he faces would be even more terrifying. Five years is too much of a rush.

Taiyuan True Person advised, "Changsheng, you have only cultivated for a little over two hundred years. You are still far from the thousand-year limit of the Dao Palace Realm. Why not consolidate your strength a bit more and wait until you are absolutely certain before undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Lu Changsheng said helplessly, "Master, I have no room for improvement at the moment."

Lu Changsheng's various Cultivation Method have reached their limit at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer. Lu Changsheng can only continue cultivating if he reaches the Void Refinement Realm.

"Oh?"

Taiyuan True Person was even more surprised.

He knew this disciple was extremely prudent and wouldn't make boastful remarks, so he was most likely serious.

"Let me test your current cultivation level to see if you are confident you can survive the Heavenly Tribulation."

Taiyuan True Person gripped a tree branch, assuming a stance to spar with Lu Changsheng.

Taiyuan True Person has experience in Tribulation Transcendence and has witnessed many Peerless Genius Tribulation Transcendence. He knows what kind of talent corresponds to what kind of Heavenly Tribulation power, and can roughly estimate the success rate of Tribulation Transcendence.

"I have been rude."

Lu Changsheng made Sword Art, and with a whoosh, the True Martial Sword was drawn, its light shining brightly.

"What an astonishing aura!"

The moment Lu Changsheng drew his Flying Sword, Taiyuan True Person already roughly knew that Lu Changsheng was qualified to attempt to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Changsheng was defeated.

The cultivation level of Taiyuan True Person is unfathomable.

Lu Changsheng was not discouraged. Taiyuan True Person had cultivated for more than three thousand years, while Lu Changsheng had only cultivated for thirteen years. Naturally, he was no match for Taiyuan True Person.

Lu Changsheng's purpose in sparring with Taiyuan True Person was mainly to allow Taiyuan True Person to estimate his chances of successfully Tribulation Transcendence.

"With your solid foundation, breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm and surviving the Threefold Heavenly Tribulations should not be a problem."

The tree branch in Taiyuan True Person's hand was cut off by Lu Changsheng's True Martial Sword, and he was also extremely shocked.

Lu Changsheng's foundation was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Although Lu Changsheng was only at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, his True Qi was comparable to that of the First Layer of the Void Refinement Realm.

Taiyuan True Person was the number one person among the Six Great Sects of his era. He was Peerless Genius with three thousand years of cultivation. He was knowledgeable and experienced, and even he was shocked by Lu Changsheng's solid foundation.

The Apprentice-Teaching Simulator kept returning cultivation points, causing Lu Changsheng to have the cultivation level of the First Layer of the Void Refinement Realm while still in the Dao Palace Realm. His Dantian Qi Sea were already overflowing, and he could no longer improve.

"Your talent is extraordinary. If you were to Tribulation Transcendence at Mount Shu, the Heavenly Tribulation would alert the Mountain-Guarding Formation. How about this, you undergo your Tribulation Transcendence outside Mount Shu, and your master and several Grand Supreme Elders will Guardian you."

After pondering for a while, Taiyuan True Person agreed to become Lu Changsheng's Guardian.

Lu Changsheng is a disciple of Taiyuan True Person in seclusion and also possesses an Immortal Artifact. If he enters the Void Refinement Realm, Mount Shu will have one more Grand Supreme Elders.

Thank you, Master.

Lu Changsheng never expected that Taiyuan True Person also planned to invite several Grand Supreme Elders to come out of seclusion to Guardian him.

As the Sect Master of the foremost righteous sect, Mount Shu, Taiyuan True Person is indeed beyond reproach.

"But will this mean that my Tribulation Transcendence will disturb the Grand Supreme Elders' secluded cultivation?"

Lu Changsheng knew that many Grand Supreme Elders were in seclusion on the Rear Mountain of Mount Shu, hoping to successfully Tribulation Transcendence before their time was up, extend their lifespan, or pursue Ascension to the Immortal Realm and seek Changsheng.

These Grand Supreme Elders were once Peerless Genius of Mount Shu, and they were also Mount Shu Disciple, renowned throughout the world.

"It's alright, those Grand Supreme Elders are also very interested in you."

"Furthermore, with the Calamity imminent, the various Grand Supreme Elders who have been in seclusion are gradually ending their retreats. These few Grand Supreme Elders are merely emerging from seclusion ahead of schedule."

Taiyuan True Person waved his hand, indicating that Lu Changsheng did not need to feel guilty, as this was an arrangement originally made by Mount Shu.

Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.

The Four Great Demonic Sects have become active, but the Six Great Orthodox Sects are not to be underestimated either. The Grand Supreme Elders of the Six Great Orthodox Sects have successively ended their seclusion, and it seems that a showdown between the Six Great Orthodox Sects and the Four Great Demonic Sects is inevitable.

"Your two disciples should be attending the Disciple Conference right now, shouldn't they?"

"Exactly."

Taiyuan True Person chatted with Lu Changsheng about everyday matters.

At the Mount Shu Main Peak, the Mount Shu Disciple Tournament is underway, where newly recruited disciples from various peaks within the past ten years are exchanging skills and competing in cultivation, creating a sea of people.

Elder Tiansong of Water Cloud Peak, accompanied by Han Xuan, a disciple with the Ice Physique whom he had accepted at the Apprentice-Selection Ceremony three years ago, and Zhao Wuyan of Finger Moon Peak, accompanied by Zhang Ying, a disciple with the Wind Spirit Physique, met on a narrow path.

"Tian Song, don't let my Disciple run into your disciple, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Hmph, both of our disciples possess Special Physiques. Whoever's disciple wins demonstrates their superior Teaching Ability."

Zhao Wuyan clashed with Elder Tiansong, and both of their disciples were considered top contenders in this Disciple Conference.

"Strange, why isn't Junior Brother Lu here?"

Zhao Wuyan discovered that Lu Changsheng was not leading the team personally, Lin Qingzhi, the Chief Grand Disciple of Azure Cloud Peak, was also nowhere to be found.

The leader of Azure Cloud Peak was Lu Qinglian, the Second Disciple who struck fear into the hearts of Elders of Mount Shu.

Zhao Wuyan's face darkened. At the last Disciple Conference, his Personal Disciple Yang Ren was seriously injured by Lu Qinglian with a single punch.

Ten years have passed, and Yang Ren is still at the Golden Core Realm, while Lu Qinglian has become Nascent Soul Realm Elder.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

"Junior brothers and sisters, our Azure Cloud Peak will go all out. Our goal this time is to sweep the top two spots in the Disciple Conference."

With her master gone to Myriad Sword Peak and her Senior Brother going down the mountain for training, it was finally Lu Qinglian's turn to be in charge of Azure Cloud Peak. She wasn't going to keep a low profile and was eager to cause trouble.

Holding an ancient book, Mo Huazhi looked around at the Mount Shu Disciples participating in the competition. These Mount Shu Disciples were only at the Qi Condensation Realm and Golden Core Realm, while she was already at the Nascent Soul Realm. If she went all out as her Senior Sister suggested, wouldn't that be too unfair?
