Duo Bao Successfully Overcame the Tribulation, Stirring Dissatisfaction Throughout the Chan Sect! So Sensible-Come Again Next Time!
"Eight layers of Tribulation Clouds—that is the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"
"Duo Bao, rest assured and undergo the tribulation. I will personally stand guard for you!"
Tongtian raised his head and glanced at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky.
He had originally thought Duo Bao would face the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, but under the current circumstances, having a Thunder Tribulation at all was already good enough. Setting expectations too high was not necessarily a good thing.
Besides, for an Interception Sect disciple to trigger the might of the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation was already more imposing than Guang Chengzi had been before.
If Duo Bao could successfully overcome the tribulation, then the Interception Sect would become the first lineage among the Profound Gate Three Teachings to have a disciple successfully undergo a tribulation.
That would gather some Fortune and also allow him to save face before Yuanshi and Taiqing.
"Rest assured, Teacher!"
"This disciple has prepared for several thousand years. I will certainly overcome the tribulation successfully!"
Duo Bao responded to Tongtian with immense confidence, seemingly unafraid of this Thunder Tribulation.
"Good!"
"However, you must not show disrespect toward the Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Otherwise, even I may be unable to protect you!"
"You should know what became of Guang Chengzi from the Chan Sect!"
In order to warn Duo Bao, Tongtian could not help but bring up Guang Chengzi's previous tribulation.
"This disciple obeys Teacher's Imperial Decree!"
Duo Bao's soaring momentum immediately faltered.
The arrogance in his heart also diminished considerably.
He knew very well what had happened to Guang Chengzi. He did not want to be like him and lose this Transformation Opportunity.
"Rumble..."
As Tongtian instructed Guang Chengzi, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky had already taken shape.
Strands of lightning rapidly gathered, forming a Terrifying Tribulation Lightning.
Mo Wen's Divine Sense within the Tribulation Clouds also relaxed slightly.
He had truly feared that Duo Bao would become too excited and charge directly into the Tribulation Clouds to court death. If that happened, he would probably offend another Saint.
Boom!
At that moment, the first Tribulation Lightning condensed. Carrying terrifying might, it burst from the Tribulation Clouds and shot directly toward Duo Bao, who floated in midair.
Although Duo Bao had become much more restrained, there was still a trace of pride in his heart.
Facing the Terrifying Tribulation Lightning, he did not even form a defensive barrier and instead crashed into it directly with the power of his fleshly body.
In an instant, lightning surged all around, spiritual power swept outward, and terrifying force completely engulfed Duo Bao's body.
It had to be said that Duo Bao's spiritual creature body possessed truly astonishing defenses. Facing the bombardment of the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation, he merely trembled violently without falling even an inch.
"As expected of my disciple!"
"He possesses some of my bearing from back then!"
"..."
Seeing this, Tongtian revealed a faint smile. He could not help turning his head and glancing toward the Three Purities Hall, as though showing off to Yuanshi.
Inside the Three Purities Hall!
Yuanshi had naturally sensed Duo Bao undergoing the tribulation, as well as Tongtian's expression.
His brows knitted slightly, and a trace of anger surfaced in his eyes.
Several breaths later, he looked at Taiqing and said in a deep voice, "Eldest Brother, should we take this chance to probe the Tribulation Clouds and search for the Thunder Tribulation Controller's whereabouts?"
"If we can gain control of him, then the transformations of the Myriad Races in the Primordial World will all be under our brothers' control!"
Yuanshi truly did not wish for Duo Bao to successfully transform before the Chan Sect disciples.
Therefore, a scheme arose in his heart, and he wished to sabotage this Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
"No!"
"Do you not know Third Brother's temper?"
"Besides, Teacher and the Heavenly Dao have both issued Imperial Decrees forbidding us from casually provoking the Transformation Thunder Tribulation!"
"If we truly act and still fail to find the Thunder Tribulation Controller, then your Chan Sect disciples may find it difficult to encounter Transformation Thunder Tribulations in the future!"
It was not that Taiqing had not considered such a scheme, but he had dismissed it.
Now that Yuanshi spoke, he immediately understood what Yuanshi was thinking.
Hearing this, Yuanshi's face darkened. He understood that Taiqing's words made sense, so he could only sigh softly and close his eyes again.
Outside the Three Purities Hall!
The Chan Sect disciples who had been cultivating could not help looking toward the side peak, their faces filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"That Duo Bao actually triggered the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"
"Hmph!"
"The might of such a Thunder Tribulation cannot be endured by fleshly strength alone!"
"Duo Bao will likely find it difficult to successfully overcome such a Thunder Tribulation!"
"..."
Because of Yuanshi, they held no favorable impression of the Interception Sect disciples.
Now that they sensed Duo Bao undergoing a tribulation, their expressions naturally darkened. They hoped even more that Duo Bao would fail to overcome this Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
Especially Guang Chengzi, who had previously failed his tribulation. His eyes were already filled with deep resentment.
If a Saint had not been standing guard there, he would definitely have been the first to rush over and find a way to obstruct Duo Bao's tribulation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"..."
Under the attention of powerful figures, Great Powers, and Saints from all sides, terrifying Tribulation Lightning after terrifying Tribulation Lightning descended from the Tribulation Clouds above Duo Bao.
The Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation consisted of seventy-two bolts of Tribulation Lightning, each more terrifying than the last.
Even Duo Bao, after forcefully enduring several bolts and drawing in some lightning to temper his fleshly body, began to activate his magic power and erect defensive barriers.
Although he could still withstand the Tribulation Lightning head-on, under Tongtian's warning, he had no choice but to become cautious.
After all, he did not wish to lose the Transformation Opportunity, nor did he wish to disgrace Tongtian.
Thus, this tribulation proceeded smoothly.
Only the final layer of Tribulation Lightning placed Duo Bao in considerable danger. Yet with his powerful fleshly body, profound magic power, and one astonishing treasure after another, he ultimately passed this terrifying Transformation Thunder Tribulation safely.
"Rumble..."
The Thunder Tribulation ended. Heavenly Dao Might emerged, intertwining with the Tribulation Clouds before bestowing astonishing Heavenly Dao Blessings.
Duo Bao was overjoyed. He soared into the sky and met the strands of Transformation Spirit Rain, Merit, and Fortune.
Meanwhile, Mo Wen's Divine Sense within the Tribulation Clouds secretly invoked the might of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace and intercepted his payment for this round of hard work.
"Hmm?"
Duo Bao, bathing in the Spirit Rain, naturally sensed this.
His body shook, as though he intended to take that strand of Heavenly Dao Blessing as well.
"No!"
Tongtian noticed Duo Bao's intentions and urgently sent him a cold warning.
Tongtian still remembered what had happened to the demon race before.
Duo Bao losing that strand of Heavenly Dao Blessing would not have much impact, but if he forcibly kept it, Interception Sect disciples might face mortal danger when undergoing tribulations in the future.
That would become troublesome.
Hearing this, Duo Bao's body trembled. He also recalled how the demon race had been targeted before, and lingering fear arose in his heart.
In that instant, he had truly become somewhat carried away.
Mo Wen's Divine Sense, hidden within the Tribulation Clouds, also trembled slightly.
Just now, he had nearly thought Duo Bao was going to snatch his payment and refuse to pay him.
If that happened, should he target the Interception Sect? Or swallow his anger?
Fortunately, Tongtian was sensible and had not stubbornly persisted at such a time.
Otherwise, Mo Wen truly would have found it difficult to handle.
After all, thoroughly offending a Saint was not a wise choice for him right now.
However, since Tongtian was so reasonable, he could truly consider coming to the Interception Sect to call down lightning again next time.
He could also let those unreasonable fellows see just how easygoing he, the Thunder Tribulation Controller, was.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Mo Wen suddenly shuddered. He sensed strands of astonishing Divine Sense rapidly approaching from afar, seemingly intending to seize the chance to charge into the Tribulation Clouds.
