Sky Vault World, Golden Mound Continent.
The Tang Clan was one of the two great clans of Golden Mound Continent. It had a long heritage and was filled with experts.
The Heavenly Cry Mountain Range lay in the central region of Golden Mound Continent. It was the ancestral land of the Tang Clan.
At the center of the mountain range stood a towering Golden Giant Peak. The area above its halfway point was shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see what lay within.
A vast manor sat atop the mountain, surrounded by green vines, emerald bamboo, strange stones, and gardens.
A tall gold-robed elder, Tong Yao, Jin Lan, and Chi Huan sat inside a stone pavilion.
The gold-robed elder had a pair of tiger eyes that inspired awe even when he was not angry, and his aura was as vast as the sea.
Tong Shan was at the Late Mahayana Stage. He had already survived five Grand Heavenly Tribulations, and within eight thousand years, he would have to face his sixth.
He could actually consider ascending to the Immortal Realm, provided he survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. More than ten thousand years ago, another Late Mahayana Stage cultivator of the Tang Clan had survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm, but a defensive Flawed Profound Heaven Treasure had been destroyed in the process.
The Tang Clan's treasury had no second defensive Flawed Profound Heaven Treasure. Without absolute confidence, Tong Shan did not dare undergo the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. Failure meant death and the annihilation of his soul.
The Tang Clan had a long heritage. Some of its clansmen had successfully survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, while others had died beneath it. Compared with ordinary Mahayana cultivators, Mahayana Body Cultivators had an easier time surviving
