Mo Wu's Tribulation!

"A fleeting ten thousand years, and you're still useless to me?"

Xie Fang's words left Zhen Yuanzi speechless. After pondering for a long while, Zhen Yuanzi awkwardly spoke: "Then what does Senior mean?"

"How about this—I won't take advantage of you."

Xie Fang appeared to think as he spoke: "Here, you can irrigate with the Three Lights Divine Water, and I'll even share a portion of the Yellow Middle Plums and Peaches with you. But you must serve under me for ten epochs!"

"What? Ten epochs?!"

Zhen Yuanzi was stunned, never expecting Xie Fang to make such an outrageous demand: "Senior, ten epochs of time—I still need to cultivate myself..."

"Of course. I'm not saying you can't cultivate. I can even help you with your training. You know well how precious the Three Lights Divine Water is. I'll let you irrigate freely—what more is there to say?"

Xie Fang looked utterly matter-of-fact: "You didn't think my immortal mountain and blessed land were free for your cultivation, and the Three Lights Divine Water free for your irrigation, without giving anything in return, did you?"

"This..."

Zhen Yuanzi was choked speechless. After hemming and hawing for a while, he finally said: "But ten epochs is too long..."

"For a cultivator, a single seclusion lasts tens of thousands of years at least. Ten epochs pass in the blink of an eye. Besides, if I truly wanted to seize everything by force, I could simply erase your spiritual intelligence."

The moment Xie Fang's voice fell, Zhen Yuanzi immediately spoke: "Zhen Yuanzi greets his master."

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. The moment Xie Fang said this, Zhen Yuanzi knew he had no power to resist, so he might as well concede directly.

"Mm. In that case, find a place to cultivate."

Xie Fang nodded, then flicked his finger, sending out a Yellow Middle Plum and a Peach: "I won't treat you poorly. It's up to you how you repay me."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Zhen Yuanzi accepted the Yellow Middle Plum and the Peach, then with a bitter expression, picked the Ginseng Fruits from the Ginseng Fruit Tree and handed them to Xie Fang.

Thirty Ginseng Fruits, not one missing.

After leaving Mo Wu and Zhen Yuanzi to cultivate on Mount Fangzhang Island, Xie Fang did not immediately refine Penglai. Instead, he went straight to the last immortal mountain and blessed land—Yingzhou Island.

As the final immortal mountain island, Yingzhou was naturally covered with exotic flowers and rare plants. But Xie Fang's goal was not here; he went directly to the very center of Yingzhou Island.

At the central point, a wave of peaceful energy rushed toward him, instantly calming Xie Fang's divine soul.

Xie Fang took a deep breath, then fixed his gaze on a small sapling radiating that peaceful energy.

"Stabilizing the soul, accelerating the absorption of Spiritual Qi—could this sapling be the legendary Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

The Enlightenment Tea Tree lived up to its name. Though it couldn't compare to innate spiritual roots like the Yellow Middle Plum, it possessed an extremely powerful effect!

It could enable enlightenment, stabilize the soul, and accelerate cultivation!

Legend said that cultivating beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree not only multiplied cultivation speed several times over but also eliminated the risk of qi deviation!

"The soil on Mount Fangzhang seems more suitable for spiritual root growth. Mo Wu and Zhen Yuanzi are there too, and I've channeled the Three Lights Divine Water there. I might as well transplant the Enlightenment Tea Tree to Mount Fangzhang as well..."

Having made up his mind, Xie Fang acted immediately, moving the Enlightenment Tea Tree over. Then, he returned to Yingzhou Island, found its sensing stone stele, and refined it!

Ten thousand years later, with a rumbling boom, Yingzhou Island was successfully refined!

Without pausing, Xie Fang returned to Mount Fangzhang Island, found its control stone stele, and began refining it as well!

Another ten thousand years passed, and with another rumbling sound, Mount Fangzhang Island was successfully refined!

With that, all three immortal islands were refined, and the Ten Directions Sky Covering Great Array was as easy to command as his own limbs!

"Is that brat Mo Wu still cultivating?"

When he had refined Penglai Island earlier, Mo Wu had come out immediately to congratulate him.

Though that time, Xie Fang had also startled Mo Wu awake by retracting the island and dropping him into the water, this time, refining Mount Fangzhang also caused a commotion, yet there was no sign of Mo Wu.

Just then—

Boom!

A heart-shaking thunderclap suddenly rang out!

Then, in the distant sky, electric serpents flickered, thunderclouds gathered, and converged wildly!

"This is... Grand Unity Tribulation Lightning!"

Xie Fang was no stranger to this sight—after all, he had once passed through the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm himself.

And the place where the thunderclouds gathered was a valley. Xie Fang vaguely remembered that the cultivation spot Mo Wu had chosen was precisely that valley!

"I wonder if this kid can withstand it..."

Xie Fang thought for a moment, ultimately feeling uneasy. With a slight shift of his form, he teleported to the sky above the valley.

"Come on!"

At that moment, a roaring shout rang out. Mo Wu, his entire body wreathed in flames, bellowed at the sky!

Then, with a stamp of his four hooves, he charged straight into the thunderclouds.

"Damn, this kid is fierce—he's actually planning to take it head-on!"

Xie Fang was somewhat taken aback by this.

The intensity of a Heavenly Tribulation is directly proportional to one's own foundation and lineage. Although the intensity of Mo Wu's tribulation was naturally incomparable to what Xie Fang had experienced back then.

But the problem was that Mo Wu's cultivation base was simply too low!

If he could survive this thunder tribulation, Mo Wu would attain the Dao of Taiyi!

If he could not, then his physical body would fall, his soul would scatter, and his life and Dao would be extinguished!

Who would have thought that this brat actually had such courage, daring to withstand the thunder tribulation head-on!

Boom—

Amidst the surging thoughts, the first divine thunder descended with boundless might, crashing down ferociously!

Amidst a cry of pain, the aura on Mo Wu's body clearly weakened, but in the end, he managed to withstand this tribulation thunder.

Of course, after enduring the tribulation thunder, this bolt was also completely absorbed by him, and the strength of his physical body and Primordial Spirit skyrocketed!

This was the benefit of the Five Elements Physique—no matter what attribute the tribulation thunder possessed, it could be absorbed.

Although Mo Wu's Primordial Spirit and physical body had grown stronger, he was also severely wounded by the first tribulation thunder, his spirit listless.

Xie Fang pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his finger, he sent a Ginseng Fruit flying to Mo Wu.

"Mo Wu, eat this, and focus entirely on crossing the tribulation!"

The wondrous uses of the Ginseng Fruit were not limited to longevity; the Spiritual Qi contained within it was extremely dense, making it most suitable for replenishing oneself during a tribulation crossing.

As his own mount, Xie Fang naturally would not be stingy.

"Thank you, Master!"

Hearing this, Mo Wu immediately opened his mouth, and the Ginseng Fruit was instantly swallowed into his belly!

In an instant, Spiritual Qi burst forth, directly repairing Mo Wu's injuries!

While the Spiritual Qi of the Ginseng Fruit had not yet been fully digested, Mo Wu gritted his teeth and activated the secret arts of the Kirin Clan, stamping his four hooves into the void to meet the remaining tribulation thunder!

Rumble—

Another bolt of tribulation thunder struck down!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each bolt of tribulation thunder was like a madly roaring thunder serpent, radiating boundless and terrifying might, as if intent on destroying heaven and earth!

Finally...

After a short while, these terrifying phenomena gradually subsided as the tribulation thunder struck down one after another.

And Mo Wu, at this very moment, had finally attained the Dao of Taiyi!
