After thinking it over, Mo Wen decided to cultivate properly in the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace for a while before considering anything else.
He would improve his strength first. That way, if he encountered anyone blind enough to provoke him in the future, he could show off a little, right?
As for bringing down Thunder Tribulations, that could wait.
Those waiting to transform were not his relatives anyway, so why should he bother so much?
Although being alone in this empty, vast hall was a little lonely, had he not been alone before transforming?
He had endured such tedious years already. Would he care about this little bit of time?
The more Mo Wen thought about it, the more brilliant he found his decision.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace seemed to possess some powerful force that had concealed all information about him.
Otherwise, given the nature of those Primordial Desolation Experts, they would never have failed to come and seize such a treasure.
Thus, he did not rush to concern himself with Thunder Tribulation Control. Instead, he directly sat cross-legged atop the enormous black-gold throne and closed his eyes.
Although he had no cultivation technique, as a thunder spirit, merely slowly absorbing the Sea of Thunder Origin outside the hall was enough to increase his strength.
One year!
Ten years!
A hundred years!
As the saying went, time passed unnoticed in the mountains, and cultivation knew no cycles of sixty years. Besides, this was the Primordial World.
And with Mo Wen's current strength, there was no need for him to care about such a brief passage of time.
While Mo Wen cultivated, six figures arrived one after another before the enormous palace outside the Primordial World, which radiated astonishing might.
"Fellow Daoists, have you come here this time because of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"
"Have you discovered anything?"
Jieyin smiled as he cupped his hands toward the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa in greeting. The majesty on his face lessened somewhat, replaced by a touch of warmth.
"There are doubts in our hearts, so we have come to seek Teacher's guidance!"
Taiqing shook his head slightly and said no more.
Nuwa, however, seemed to recall something and looked toward Jieyin. "Did Fellow Daoist not appear at the summit of Buzhou Mountain earlier?"
"I believe this matter of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation must be connected in some way to the thunderclouds that suddenly vanished from Buzhou Mountain's summit, though I do not know the reason behind it!"
After all, not long after the incident with those thunderclouds, the Heavenly Dao had issued an Imperial Decree.
She always felt that there was some connection between these two matters.
Yet even as a Saint, she could not see through the Heavenly Dao and find the answer.
As soon as Nuwa spoke, the Three Pure Ones almost simultaneously looked toward Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Jieyin, Zhunti, you martial brothers both went to investigate Buzhou Mountain. Did you truly find nothing at all?"
Tongtian was the first to address the Two Sages of the West. There was a faint trace of dissatisfaction in his words, as though he looked down on the two Saints of the Western Teachings.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you jest!"
"We had thought some treasure had emerged and went to investigate, only to return empty-handed!"
"If we knew the reason, why would we come here to disturb Teacher?"
Jieyin and Zhunti did not mind Tongtian's tone and merely shook their heads slightly.
"Is that so?"
"Why does this venerable one feel..."
Tongtian still wanted to speak and continue questioning them, but Taiqing, beside him, slowly stepped forward and cut him off.
"Third Brother, do not speak excessively before Teacher's sacred grounds. Once we see Teacher, we shall naturally learn everything!"
As his words fell, Taiqing arrived before the gates of Zixiao Palace and cupped his hands toward the interior. "Disciple Taiqing has come to pay respects to Teacher and ask Teacher to resolve this disciple's doubts!"
"Please resolve our doubts!"
"..."
Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti also revealed respectful expressions. They bowed toward Zixiao Palace and called out loudly.
Inside Zixiao Palace!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had long since noticed the arrival of the Six Saints.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of solemnity.
What these disciples had come to ask about was also something he wanted to understand.
However, he still did not know why the Heavenly Dao had concealed these matters, so how could he resolve Taiqing and the others' doubts?
Since the Heavenly Dao would not allow him to know, he naturally could not tell these Saints either.
Thus, his lips moved slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Such is Heaven's Will. There are no doubts to resolve. Return!"
Outside Zixiao Palace, the Six Great Saints had already planned how to question this matter. Upon hearing Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, they could not help but freeze.
"Teacher..."
Taiqing hesitated for several breaths, then cupped his hands again, seemingly still wanting to speak.
"Return!"
"Your duty is to follow Heaven's Will!"
"When it is time for you to know, you shall naturally know!"
At that moment, however, astonishing might swept out from Zixiao Palace, forcing them to retreat half a step.
That might contained traces of heavenly authority, causing their hearts and minds to tremble. They immediately abandoned any thought of continuing their questions.
"We were presumptuous. We hope Teacher will not blame us!"
Taiqing hurriedly spoke and bowed toward the gates of Zixiao Palace for the third time.
Only then did that astonishing might withdraw back into Zixiao Palace.
Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, as well as Jieyin and Zhunti, all wore astonished expressions.
After exchanging glances, they each bowed toward Zixiao Palace and took their leave.
Not long afterward, the Six Great Saints returned to the Primordial World and headed for their respective sacred grounds, seemingly no longer daring to pursue the matter of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
After all, Hongjun had already told them that Heaven's Will could not be defied. If they continued to dwell on it, the Heavenly Dao might very well send down punishment.
Since that was the case, they could only wait quietly for the Thunder Tribulation to descend in the future before investigating further.
At the summit of Buzhou Mountain, within the mysterious space, inside the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace!
Mo Wen was still cultivating, as though he had forgotten that he had become the Thunder Tribulation Controller.
One hundred years!
Two hundred years!
Five hundred years!
You have possessed authority over the Transformation Thunder Tribulation for five hundred years. You may bring down the Transformation Thunder Tribulation at any time!
Five hundred years passed, and crisp sounds rang beside Mo Wen's ears, causing him to open his eyes.
The sound was like an alarm clock, seemingly reminding Mo Wen that it was time to get up and work.
"Not yet!"
"Wait a little longer. Cultivation comes first!"
Unfortunately, Mo Wen did not take it seriously. After responding a few times, he resumed cultivating.
It was not that he did not want to experience controlling Thunder Tribulations. He was merely worried that those Great Powers of the Primordial World would trace the Thunder Tribulation back to his hiding place.
So it was better to keep a low profile and wait a little longer.
Six hundred years!
Seven hundred years!
One thousand years!
You have controlled the Transformation Thunder Tribulation authority for one thousand years. Please exercise your authority!
A thousand years later, another crisp sound rang out, startling Mo Wen awake as he contemplated the Law of Thunder.
Mo Wen could not help but be stunned. Had a thousand years passed so quickly?
In that case, he would wait a little longer!
Just now, he had faintly sensed a trace of a breakthrough.
One thousand one hundred years!
Two thousand three hundred years!
Time passed swiftly, and three thousand years roared by.
During those three thousand years, many living beings had been eagerly awaiting the descent of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
Many Primordial World creatures that had already cultivated to the point of transformation had begun to go mad from waiting.
By continuously accumulating magical power without transforming, their cultivation naturally improved far more slowly than it would after transformation.
In the east of the Primordial World, above an enormous mountain range!
A flying creature radiating astonishing demonic qi slowly descended.
"Why has my Transformation Thunder Tribulation not arrived yet?"
"Did the Heavenly Dao not say that undergoing the Thunder Tribulation Trial could grant supreme benefits?"
"Th-this has already been three thousand years!"
"Could the Heavenly Dao have forgotten that I can transform?"
The demonic bird raised its head and gazed into the sky, releasing shrill cries one after another. Its eyes had turned blood-red.
In the center of the Western Sea, above the ocean's surface!
A colossal demonic whale slowly surfaced, releasing soaring baleful qi from its body.
"Roar... What exactly does the Transformation Thunder Tribulation look like?"
"I have waited several thousand years already. It should have appeared by now, shouldn't it?"
"The Heavenly Dao is unfair..."
Deep roars echoed through heaven and earth, causing terrifying tsunamis to rise across the sea as though it were venting the fury in its heart.
