Becoming an Immortal Through Tribulation

Everyone was stunned by the sight of Cang Lan absorbing the waters of the Luo River, but only Ma Feifei noticed that Cang Lan's appearance this time did not attract Six Stages of Life and Death. Did this mean that Cang Lan had perfectly passed the sixth tribulation and could step into the Immortal Realm?

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei felt a surge of excitement. If Cang Lan could successfully enter the Immortal Realm, not only would the reputation of the Mysterious Bookstore be further enhanced, but Ma Feifei's previous investment of 3 billion Spirit Crystal would also be rewarded. After all, the system had stated that only if Cang Lan successfully transcended the tribulation could he receive a generous reward.

"Go for it, Grand Dean!" Ma Feifei couldn't help but cheer for him in his heart, feeling even more excited than if he himself had become an immortal.

"Pop!"

In the Tribulation Book World, the Luo River, which had just been calm, suddenly emitted a crisp sound. Immediately afterward Cang Lan had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Her eyes seemed to contain billions of stars, directly attracting everyone's attention and even causing them to lose their focus for a moment.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, Cang Lan transformed into a beam of light and shot into the sky.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and the Tribulation Book World in the sky vanished in an instant, replaced by a blanket of dark clouds that once again shrouded Dubian Town.

It's already dark!

"Snap!"

Rolling clouds began to gather, with lightning flashing continuously within them, occasionally peeking out to reveal themselves.

Slowly, the rolling clouds above Dubian Town gathered into a giant mushroom cloud. Within the mushroom cloud, billions of lightning bolts were constantly brewing. Through the gaps in the clouds, everyone could see the surging scene within.

"My God! Is this the legendary tribulation of lightning?" A powerful figure stared wide-eyed at the enormous mushroom cloud in the sky and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Grand Dean, he's about to become an immortal!" Looking at the fluorescent light flying towards the mushroom cloud, an elderly man with white hair in mid-air showed excitement on his face, and his hands under his long sleeves were trembling.

"The Azure Dragon Continent is finally going to have immortals!" Below, most of the cultivators slowly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

For 30,000 years, not a single immortal has ever appeared in the Azure Dragon.

Now, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation has reignited people's Covet for the Immortal Realm.

"You absolutely must succeed!"

Everyone looked at Cang Lan, who had arrived directly beneath the mushroom cloud, and they all hoped that she could withstand the tribulation and successfully enter the Immortal Realm.

Ma Feifei, however, looked puzzled, his brows furrowed as he gazed at the vast expanse of Cang Lan beneath the clouds.

"Wait a minute, didn't the system say that the Great Dao is flawed and couldn't possibly evolve into a lightning tribulation? Why is a lightning tribulation appearing now?"

Back when Feng Yiming entering the Immortal Realm to extend his lifespan, Ma Feifei had already communicated with the system. The system clearly told him that since the Great Dao of the Azure Dragon Continent was flawed, it was impossible for a tribulation of lightning to occur.

In the Azure Dragon Continent, which has no tribulations of lightning, no one can naturally step into the Immortal Realm. This is the cultivation law of the Azure Dragon Continent. Everyone in this world must abide by the laws of this world unless they are stronger than the laws.

However, the tribulation lightning is currently brewing, which is clearly illogical, so Ma Feifei is completely baffled by it.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei turned to Liuli and asked her the reason.

Liuli leaned close to Ma Feifei's ear, covered her mouth with her hands, and whispered, "This is a lightning tribulation evolved from the Tribulation Book World. It's different from the laws of this world. Sister Cang Lan only needs to withstand this lightning tribulation to step into the Immortal Realm and become an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei subconsciously glanced at the Three Spirit Pillars and realized that they were still there. He then suddenly understood that the Tribulation Book World had not disappeared, but had simply evolved into a lightning tribulation.

"Isn't it said that as long as you survive the Six Stages of Life and Death, you can successfully enter the Immortal Realm? Why do we still need to undergo this tribulation of lightning?" Ma Feifei asked in confusion.

Cang Lan's fall into the Luo River just now should have been his sixth tribulation. Since there were no thunderclaps, lightning, or blood rain during that tribulation, it means Cang Lan successfully passed it. If he did, it should mean he passed the test of the Tribulation Book World and became an immortal. So why is there this final lightning tribulation?

"The Six Stages of Life and Death is merely a test from the Tribulation Book World. Passing it proves that the tribulation seeker possesses all the conditions to enter the Immortal Realm. Finally, this lightning tribulation is something the tribulation seeker must undergo, because it contains supreme laws. Only by undergoing the baptism and transformation of the power of laws can one forge a divine body that transcends the mortal realm and become a spirit of heaven and earth," Liuli explained, tilting her head.

After listening to Liuli's explanation, Ma Feifei finally understood that the tribulation of lightning was something that every cultivator who stepped into the Immortal Realm could not avoid. Even if they passed the test of the Tribulation Book World, they still had to undergo the baptism of the tribulation of lightning before they could finally be transformed and achieve the Immortal Realm.

"Boom!"

The tribulation lightning continued to brew, and the aura of the clouds grew stronger and stronger. The power of nature was fully manifested at this moment. Even a strong person like Yun Qingyang could feel Ma Feifei's solemnity at this moment.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the clouds, hitting his body directly below.

"Bang!"

The lightning bolt struck Cang Lan in the sky, sending her plummeting hundreds of meters downwards. Fortunately, she managed to regain her footing in time and didn't fall completely.

"There are nine tribulations of lightning in total; this is only the first one," Liuli's voice rang in Ma Feifei's ears.

Ma Feifei watched Cang Lan fly back under the clouds, feeling somewhat uneasy. This was a tribulation of lightning, containing the most powerful force in the world. Cang Lan was going to endure nine strikes; it was truly terrifying.

"Snap!"

As they were speaking, another bolt of lightning struck down, so fast that no one had time to react before it hit Cang Lan.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

"Click..."

Surprisingly, just as the second lightning tribulation struck, the lightning seemed to rush down one after another, with four lightning tribulations descending in succession.

Cang Lan was struck from a height of ten thousand feet down to a height of less than a thousand meters above the ground, and was still descending.

At this altitude, everyone could see that Cang Lan was emitting a strong smell of burning, his clothes were destroyed by lightning, and only a thick layer of fluorescent light protected his vital parts.

Even his hair is gone...

"The power of the lightning tribulation is truly terrifying!" a powerful figure below exclaimed in surprise.

"I wonder if the Grand Dean can pull through," a cultivator said with a worried expression.

"Definitely!" the cultivator beside him immediately said, his tone very firm.

"That's right, you can do it! Go for it, Grand Dean!" another cultivator suddenly shouted. Stepping into the Immortal Realm is to break the curse that has prevented Azure Dragon from becoming an immortal for 30,000 years. No one wants Cang Lan to fall at this moment.

The rapidly falling Cang Lan also stopped her descent at that moment, steadied herself, looked up at the mushroom cloud, and laughed, "Come on, let's have a showdown."

"Buzz~!"

A terrifying aura emanated from Cang Lan, followed by a scene that shocked everyone: Cang Lan's legs began to close together, gradually merging into one.

"Click click click~"

Layers of blue scales spread from the soles of her feet, eventually covering her lower body.

The lower half of Cang Lan had transformed into a fish's body!

"Stomp!"

With a flick of its long tail, Cang Lan was enveloped in blue light, soaring upwards and rushing towards the clouds.

"Boom!"

The lightning tribulation seemed enraged, letting out a muffled groan as a vast expanse of lightning began to gather.

"Crack!" A bolt of lightning struck.

"Snap!" Another one.

"Click~~"

The lightning strikes seemed to come down relentlessly, one after another, as if they were free.

"The fifth... the sixth... the seventh... the ninth!" Ma Feifei counted, and couldn't help but stand up from the crossbeam, his eyes fixed on the sky.

All nine bolts of lightning struck!

The heavens and earth changed color at that moment, and the world instantly became extremely dark. Even cultivators could not see at that moment and were trapped in a blind spot.

"Boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, with the final roar, everyone's vision cleared, and they looked up at the sky, only to find that the rolling clouds had disappeared, the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation had dissipated with the wind, a Mingyue hung high in the sky, and ten thousand stars adorned the scene. The mystery of the universe appeared exceptionally beautiful at this moment.

"Where is the Grand Dean?" A cultivator looked around the sky but didn't see Cang Lan's figure and couldn't help but ask.

"Could he be dead?" a cultivator whispered.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, yet they couldn't believe it. Reaching the Immortal Realm was of immense significance to these cultivators. Only when someone broke through to the Immortal Realm could their pursuit of the Immortal Realm be rekindled.

If Cang Lan fails this time, it will once again shatter their perseverance and dreams.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a beam of pure white light Infiltrator through the clouds and shone down on the earth.

"Look!" A cultivator with bright eyes pointed at the shimmering white light and shouted.

Everyone looked up and saw a blue-haired woman quietly curled up in the beam of shimmering white light. She was completely naked and enveloped in the holy white light, so that no one could feel any sense of desecration.

"He's become an immortal..."
