On a side peak where Tongtian resided on Kunlun Mountain!
The many Interception Sect disciples naturally sensed Guang Chengzi's failed tribulation.
This made them reveal disdainful expressions as they began whispering among themselves.
"Hmph!"
"What Chan Sect second-generation chief disciple? He couldn't even survive a Transformation Thunder Tribulation!"
"Exactly. If our Interception Sect Senior Disciple Brother faced a Thunder Tribulation, he would pass it with ease. How could he make such a joke of himself?"
"Those Chan Sect disciples usually act so high and mighty. They would not even let us go to Main Peak. Let's see what confidence they have now!"
"..."
The Chan Sect disciples usually relied on Yuanshi's favoritism and acted superior before them, causing many Interception Sect disciples to be unwilling to remain on Kunlun Mountain for long.
Now, when they encountered Chan Sect disciples again, they naturally had a chance to mock them.
However, they did not notice that their discussions had already reached Yuanshi's ears within Three Purities Hall.
This caused Yuanshi to frown.
"This is all Third Brother's fault. He actually protects those furred, horned, damp-born, egg-laying creatures!"
"Otherwise, how could my disciple have suffered such humiliation?"
After snorting coldly several times inwardly, Yuanshi could not help turning toward Tongtian's location, a trace of icy intent surfacing in his gaze.
Tongtian naturally sensed it as well. His brows tightened as he looked toward Three Purities Hall.
"Hmph!"
A few breaths later, Tongtian snorted coldly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he released a force that directly shrouded the entire side peak, seemingly unwilling to say another word to Yuanshi.
"Second Brother!"
"Now that this Thunder Tribulation has failed, do not start another dispute with Third Brother over such a trivial matter!"
"Our Profound Gate Three Teachings are one family in the end!"
"If those two shameless fellows from the Western Teachings notice, they may very well begin scheming!"
Taiqing naturally sensed the small movements between Yuanshi and Tongtian. He sighed softly and offered Yuanshi a reminder.
"Eldest Brother is right!"
"However, the secrets of this Transformation Thunder Tribulation were not revealed despite this failed tribulation. Should we brothers continue petitioning for answers?"
Hearing Taiqing's words, Yuanshi felt somewhat displeased.
Yet he ultimately suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and questioned Taiqing again.
"This Transformation Thunder Tribulation may be one of the Heavenly Dao's tests!"
"Tell Guang Chengzi not to panic. He only needs to wait calmly!"
Taiqing spoke to reassure Yuanshi, then closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating what had just happened.
Seeing that Taiqing had no further ideas, Yuanshi could only nod and close his eyes as well, quietly beginning his deductions.
Meanwhile, within the mysterious space atop Buzhou Mountain, inside Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace!
Mo Wen had already withdrawn that wisp of Divine Sense. Slowly raising his head, he looked toward the wall at the side of Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace.
On that wall was precisely Guang Chengzi's utterly bewildered expression after failing his tribulation.
"Wouldn't it have been better if he had just properly crossed it?"
"Why did he have to make things so troublesome?"
"Now I've worked for nothing again!"
"Don't say I never gave the Chan Sect a chance!"
"If you aren't confident this time, then we'll meet again if fate allows!"
"..."
After snorting coldly several times, Mo Wen rubbed his temples.
He could not help feeling frustrated.
Wasn't he just striking some lightning? Why was it so difficult to successfully bring down a Thunder Tribulation?
He had already brought down Thunder Tribulations three times in succession, yet every one of them had ended in failure.
Forget rewards—even a single benefit had eluded him.
At this rate, when would he ever succeed, and when would he receive a reward?
"Should I keep striking lightning?"
"Or should I cultivate in peace?"
"..."
In his frustration, Mo Wen began considering whether this Transformation Thunder Tribulation was worth so much effort.
If he cultivated peacefully, perhaps he would have already found an opportunity to break through Grand Golden Immortal and advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Everything was hard at the beginning!
If he successfully brought down a Thunder Tribulation once, he could obtain a Thunder Tribulation Gift Pack!
As Mo Wen hesitated, that crisp and pleasant voice rang out beside his ears again.
"A gift pack?"
"Just once is enough?"
"I'm doing it!"
Mo Wen could not help muttering to himself.
The conditions sounded rather good. As long as he succeeded once, he could obtain a gift pack and learn whether the rewards for striking lightning were truly worth all this concern.
With that thought, Mo Wen lowered his head again and looked toward the enormous Light Screen before him, searching through the information on those Tribulation Transcenders.
Yunxiao, Interception Sect disciple, Profound Immortal, eligible for transformation! Dizang, Western Teachings disciple, Profound Immortal, eligible for transformation! ... Many Treasures Pagoda, Interception Sect disciple, Golden Immortal, eligible for transformation!
"Many Treasures Pagoda?"
"The Interception Sect's chief senior disciple?"
"No, the risk is a little too high with a Saint's lineage. I should look at other Tribulation Transcenders!"
Mo Wen knew that Yuanshi looked down on Interception Sect disciples from the bottom of his heart, and he had originally wanted to bring down a Thunder Tribulation upon one of them.
However, he worried that Many Treasures Pagoda was no less proud than Guang Chengzi. If he also sought death, would Mo Wen not be wasting his efforts again?
Thinking of this, Mo Wen continued investigating.
Lu Ya, Demon Crown Prince, Golden Immortal, eligible for transformation! ... Four Immeasurables, Qilin Race, Grand Golden Immortal, eligible for transformation! Kong Xuan, Phoenix Race, Grand Golden Immortal, eligible for transformation!
"Kong Xuan?"
"Son of Yuan Feng, Phoenix Race Crown Prince?"
"A posthumous child whose clansmen had practically all died out?"
"..."
After sweeping his gaze over the list, Mo Wen's eyes settled upon Kong Xuan's tribulation information.
Kong Xuan possessed astonishing talent and extraordinary foundations. He also held a portion of the Phoenix Race's Fortune, so he should be able to withstand a stronger Thunder Tribulation.
Most importantly, this fellow should have been born only recently. He had neither elders nor clansmen to protect him, nor had he found anyone to rely upon.
In that case, even if some problems arose during the tribulation, no one should step forward for him.
Since that was so, Kong Xuan would be chosen for this Transformation Thunder Tribulation!
"The Seven-Nine Thunder Tribulation should be manageable!"
"The Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation might also have a chance!"
"What about the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation?"
"Should I go a little easy on him?"
"..."
Mo Wen felt that he should not bully this orphan too much.
This time, he would directly give him a Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, then secretly go a little easy on him and let him successfully transform. Perhaps when this fellow grew up in the future, he would even know gratitude.
"Let's do it!"
"It is time for those Primordial World experts to understand that as long as one carries a grateful heart, the Transformation Thunder Tribulation is not dangerous!"
After murmuring a few words, Mo Wen once again separated a wisp of Divine Sense and sent it toward the Light Screen before him.
At this moment, within a mountain range filled with scorching power in Honghuang South.
A demonic bird radiating astonishing five-colored light was sprinting at top speed.
Behind him, enormous demonic birds came whistling through the air, seemingly surrounding and pursuing that five-colored figure.
"Peacock!"
"When you were born, you devoured tens of thousands of my demon race's people. Your sins are grievous. By the Eastern Emperor's command, I have come to capture you and take you to Demon Emperor Palace!"
"For the sake of your status as the Phoenix Race Crown Prince, I can plead with the Eastern Emperor to spare your life!"
"Stop at once and surrender, or I will not be polite!"
"..."
At this moment, a terrifying demonic bird with an enormous body, dazzling light radiating from its entire form, one claw, and two wings appeared in the sky and roared angrily at the five-colored demonic bird racing below.
Hearing this, Peacock suddenly raised his head while running and sneered at the terrifying being in the sky.
"Surrender?"
"I haven't even transformed yet. I have no hands. How am I supposed to surrender?"
"..."
PS: Esteemed readers, there is no need to dwell on the Tribulation Transcenders' cultivation levels. I moved the timeline forward somewhat, and since these characters had not yet grown up, I wrote their cultivation levels lower.
I hope you can understand!
(I'm really not that talkative. I just could not help saying a few words. I'll correct it in the future—please support me, esteemed readers!)
