Guangyuan Mountains, the Guangyuan Sect's headquarters.
Li Yu stood atop the mountain top of a steep high peak, gazing toward the thunder clouds high in the sky with a solemn expression.
The thunder clouds hung oppressively overhead, churning violently as thick bolts of silver lightning tore through the firmament one after another, striking a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Wang Mengshan stood atop a circular platform over a hundred zhang wide, his expression solemn. A pale-yellow shield floated before him, while a thick Three-Color Light Barrier enveloped his body.
A dozen or so tiny cracks marred the surface of the Yellow Shield, and its spiritual light was somewhat dim.
The circular platform was covered in profound formation markings. Dozens of broken Formation Flags lay scattered across the surrounding ground, along with fragments of Formation Plates.
Wang Mengshan was undergoing the Grand Heavenly Tribulation. Since entering the Void Refinement Stage, this was his first Grand Heavenly Tribulation. The first Grand Heavenly Tribulation was relatively easy. With a defensive Lower-Grade Heavenly Treasure, a Tier 6 defensive Talisman, and several sets of Fifth-Order Formations, passing this stage was not difficult. Most Void Refinement Cultivators could survive their first Grand Heavenly Tribulation. However, if they had suffered severe injuries before undergoing it, even their first Grand Heavenly Tribulation could still prove fatal.
He had a Celestial Lightning Spirit Transformation Talisman on him. Since he could survive his first Grand Heavenly Tribulation without using it, he had not troubled the family.
The Guangyuan Sect had activated part of its Sect Protection Formation's Restrictions. This was also in keeping with the practices of a small sect. Whenever a Void Refinement Cultivator of the Wang Family underwent the Grand Heavenly Tribulation, they did so on their own family's territory, with clan members protecting them.
