The Second-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was a lightning tribulation sent down in response to the Heavenly Dao's sensing, so after overcoming it, one could receive the power of the five elements Great Dao origin bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to strengthen oneself.
Boom!
Li Qingyuan's Dharma Appearance held up the heavens. His ten thousand zhang Dharma Form possessed the power of wind and thunder, manifested the Five Elements Spiritual Power, and also bore the phantom of Jia Wood Reaching Heaven, wondrous and extraordinary.
"Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Technique, Second-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."
"Thunder God Body, middle Mahayana stage."
The Dharma Appearance behind Li Qingyuan dispersed. Spiritual light filled the sky, and towering thunderbolts withdrew into his body. His powerful pressure enveloped the sect, leaving the Mahayana Dao Venerables trembling with fear.
Ye Yuzhen, Wu Ji Zi, and the others looked shaken. "This pressure has completely surpassed that of late Mahayana stage experts."
"Even compared to outstanding late Mahayana stage figures like Dao Venerable Yang Haoran and Aolai Old Ancestor, our Young Sect Master is by no means inferior."
"His talent is too terrifying."
"..."
After successfully breaking through, Li Qingyuan entered seclusion again to stabilize his realm.
Luo Ling did the same, continuing her seclusion to stabilize her cultivation. She was now at the middle Mahayana stage, yet was only nine thousand years old, an unparalleled existence in the Deterioration Era.
Ten years later, Li Qingyuan entered the "bridal chamber a second time," joining Miao Le in contemplating the Great Dao, dual-cultivating Yin and Yang, delving into the Jianmu Meditation Method, and exchanging insights into the marvelous uses of the Longevity Immortal Seed.
This exchange lasted three sixty-year cycles.
After feeling that the effects of dual cultivation with Miao Le had reached their limit, Li Qingyuan sought out Bing Ling'er.
