An unexpected change

Central City had many Tribulation Platforms, but nearly all stood along the outskirts of the Outer City.

Those used for the Void Refinement Great Tribulation in particular were far from residential areas, since the heavenly tribulation was so powerful that it might affect other cultivators.

Chen Lin and the others followed the Hundred Flowers Fairy to the No. 15 Tribulation Platform. After presenting their permit, they began their preparations.

The platform itself had a defensive formation, but to be safe, those undergoing tribulation would set up additional formations of their own. A Void Refinement heavenly tribulation was no ordinary ordeal; the slightest mistake could reduce them to dust and ashes, so no amount of caution was excessive.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy had come prepared. She began setting things up as soon as she stepped onto the Tribulation Platform, while Chen Lin and the others helped.

"This is the Ten Directions Tribulation-Wipe Formation. It's very effective against heavenly tribulations, and its power varies according to the grade of the materials used. With sufficiently high-grade materials, it can even be used when advancing to Dao Integration or Mahayana."

As she set up the formation, the Hundred Flowers Fairy explained it to them, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Lin.

"I've recorded the formation's complete legacy in this jade slip. Take it and use it."

Chen Lin accepted it and nodded without saying anything.

But an uneasy premonition stirred within him. He kept feeling as though she were settling her affairs before death.

Just as this thought occurred to him, she continued, "Xuelian was my earliest disciple. After failing to advance to Spirit Transformation last time, her mental state became somewhat unstable. Fellow Daoist Chen, if you're able, please help look after her."

"Master!"
