The First Disciple in the Void Refinement Realm

Rumble...

Dark clouds filled the Firmament, silver snakes danced wildly, thunder rumbled, and terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was brewing.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the sun and moon were obscured, the world was bleak and oppressive.

Boom!

Suddenly, countless thunderstorms descended from the sky, illuminating the world like a white waterfall of light cascading down from the heavens!

The first Heavenly Tribulation has arrived!

Lin Qingzhi's Daoist Robe fluttered in the wind, his long black hair danced in the air, and with a gesture, he summoned a three-layered Heavenly Gang Sword Formation composed of eighteen Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords to meet the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder continuously bombarded the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, causing the Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords to dim from time to time. However, Lin Qingzhi quickly infused the Sword Formation with True Qi, stimulating the sword energy of the Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Sword Qi.

Every Heavenly Thunder would strike the surrounding ground, and huge rocks would be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.

"Junior brother, you must keep up the good work..."

Chen Yao's bright eyes reflected the dazzling lightning, her fingers clasped tightly together, silently praying for Lin Qingzhi in her heart.

"Oh, so this is what Heavenly Tribulation is like."

Lu Qinglian crossed her arms in front of her chest, shaking her head as if she knew everything.

Soon, she too will be Tribulation Transcendence, so she is observing in advance.

Disciples Chen Xiaoyao and Ji Xuan watched anxiously as their Senior Brother Tribulation Transcendence.

After reaching the Dao Palace Realm, one faces Heavenly Tribulation with each major realm advancement. Countless Peerless Genius have perished in these Heavenly Tribulations, including some of the Shushan Sect Master.

However, Lu Changsheng could see that the Heavenly Tribulation attracted by Lin Qingzhi's Evergreen Body was significantly weaker than the Heavenly Tribulation attracted by his own Innate Dao Body.

The first Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a quarter of an hour before being neutralized by Lin Qingzhi's Heavenly Gang Sword Formation.

Lin Qingzhi broke out in a cold sweat. Following his master's instructions, he quickly absorbed the Spiritual Qi of the Red Flood Dragon Golden Core to replenish his True Qi.

The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was still operating above Lin Qingzhi's head, preparing for the second Heavenly Tribulation.

The second heavenly Heavenly Tribulation is almost twice as powerful!

Rumble!

A dazzling Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck from the heavens, causing the earth to shake violently for a full half hour!

Lin Qingzhi activated the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation with all his might.

Driven by the Taiqing Wuji Art, the eighteen Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords flew and slashed through the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, shattering the thunder before it could strike Lin Qingzhi.

Although Lin Qingzhi does not yet possess his own immortal Immortal Artifact, the eighteen Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords bestowed upon him by Lu Changsheng, combined with the Upper-Grade Heaven Stage Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, are comparable to Immortal Artifacts.

Lin Qingzhi once again used this Sword Formation to block the second heavenly Heavenly Tribulation.

As the final Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend, Lin Qingzhi devoured all the remaining medicinal power of the Red Flood Dragon Golden Core, and used all his strength to resist the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.

The Threefold Heavenly Tribulation, seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, descended, accompanied by thunderous roars and continuous lightning strikes!

The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was struggling against the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation. The eighteen Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords were constantly bombarded by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and flew out of the Sword Formation from time to time, and the Sword Formation was in danger of collapsing at any time.

Lin Qingzhi's forehead was covered in sweat as he multitasked, urging his Flying Sword, which had broken away from the Sword Formation, back into Sword Formation.

The Threefold Heavenly Tribulation also lasted for nearly half an hour.

Card!

At the final moment of the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation, a low-grade innate Flying Sword that formed the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation shattered because it could not withstand the continuous attack of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

"Not good!"

Lu Changsheng, who was Guardian, was startled.

The Heavenly Gang Sword Formation can indeed withstand the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation, but the low-grade innate Law Treasures and Flying Swords that make up the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of divine lightning.

A bolt of divine lightning broke through the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation and struck Lin Qingzhi.

Lin Qingzhi activated the Taiqing Wuji Art with all his might, forcibly using his immense True Qi to block the divine lightning.

"Puff."

Lin Qingzhi coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood.

He did not undergo Body Tempering like his master, so his physique was far inferior to that of Lu Changsheng and Lu Qinglian.

Fortunately, Lin Qingzhi had a deep understanding of the Taiqing Wuji Art and was also blessed with the Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor bestowed upon him by Lu Changsheng, which prevented him from being completely destroyed by the divine lightning.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is about to end."

Lu Changsheng could feel the dark clouds dissipating, while the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder continued intermittently until it finally vanished completely.

Lin Qingzhi stood in the crater, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he retrieved the eighteen Flying Swords that formed the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation. One of the low-grade innate Law Treasure Flying Swords was completely destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation, and the other seven Flying Swords were damaged to varying degrees.

The Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Lin Qingzhi lasted for a little over an hour, while the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Lu Changsheng lasted for three hours. Therefore, Lin Qingzhi's Tribulation Transcendence, and he was not as miserable as Lu Changsheng had been.

It should be noted that when Lu Changsheng Tribulation Transcendence, he was struck by the Thunder Pool triggered by the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation and plunged into a bottomless sinkhole.

"Master, I have lived up to your expectations and have finally entered the Void Refinement Realm."

Lin Qingzhi, dragging his weary body, came to report the good news to Lu Changsheng.

"The Void Refinement Realm means you can use Immortal Artifacts, but for me, it's just the beginning. From now on, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity and continue to cultivate diligently."

"Your disciple will remember this."

As Lin Qingzhi entered the Void Refinement Realm, he became increasingly aware of how powerful his master was, and his respect for him grew even stronger.

"Senior Brother is so focused; his cultivation speed is truly astonishing. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to catch up with Senior Brother."

Chen Xiaoyao placed his hands behind his neck and sighed deeply.

Lin Qingzhi -minded in his cultivation, without any distractions, something even Chen Xiaoyao couldn't achieve.

Chen Xiaoyao relied on pure Yang energy and his own Great Fortune.

Seeing that Lin Qingzhi had already entered the Void Refinement Realm, Chen Yao thought to herself that she should catch up with his realm as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if Lin Qingzhi Ascension to the Immortal Realm while I remain in the Mortal World, we will be separated.

[Ding! Your Eldest Disciple, Lin Qingzhi, is currently at the First Layer of the Void Refinement Realm.]

[Those at or below the Seventh Layer of the Void Refinement Realm may be rewarded with treasures such as Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills, Eighth-Rank Talisman, and Low-Grade Immortal Artifacts.]

[ Upon Void Refinement Realm Great Completion (levels Nine Layers), one can be rewarded with Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills, Ninth-Grade Talisman, Middle-Grade Immortal Artifacts, and other treasures.]

[Note: If you receive duplicate items as rewards to your disciples, you will be unable to gift the same type of treasure within one month.]

[Number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month: 1/2 (As the disciple's cultivation level increases, the maximum number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month will increase. For each additional disciple at the Void Refinement Realm, the maximum increases by 1)]

A notification from the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator rang in Lu Changsheng's mind: after the first disciple reaches the Void Refinement Realm, he can finally reward him with Low-Grade Immortal Artifact, as well as Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills and Eighth-Rank Talisman.

The number of times you can get Immortal Artifact each month has increased by one.

[Ding! Your Eldest Disciple, Lin Qingzhi, has advanced from the Dao Palace Realm to the Void Refinement Realm. You have received a reward for your Disciple's advancement: Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment ×1.]

Another Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment?!

Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine; this was the second Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment he had obtained.

The two Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment came from Chen Yao and Lin Qingzhi respectively.

"Could it be that I'm rewarding these two disciples, giving them a chance to gather the fragments needed to synthesize a supreme treasure...?"
