The Ancient Wasteland, Lower Realm.
After Ye Long and Chen Zu received Qin Feng's death order, they were so scared they scrambled away from the Qin Huai River.
They soon met up with Qing Tian and Li Ji, then went to Penglai Immortal Mountain to cultivate and ascend.
The four of them sat cross-legged in meditation, their eyes closed. A faint layer of spiritual energy encircled them, as if they had become one with heaven and earth.
"These four youngsters are about to ascend!"
Several Qin Clan Ancestors sat cross-legged at the mountain peak, looking down at the four through the clouds.
Rumble!!
The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, streaks of purple lightning spreading like chicken claws.
"It's here!"
The Several Qin Clan Ancestors instantly grew solemn and hurriedly raised their hands, forming one strange seal after another.
A golden light rose over Penglai Immortal Mountain, as if an enormous dome had enveloped the entire mountain.
Rumble!!
Deafening thunderclaps resounded between heaven and earth.
The terrifying tribulation transformed into a thunder dragon, roaring as it struck at the four on the immortal mountain. It collided fiercely with the golden dome, erupting in light brighter than the sun and unleashing an Energy Storm that swept across the world.
"So this is the ascension tribulation?!"
Ye Long opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see that the tribulation couldn't break through the immortal mountain at all.
"The ones who came before plant the trees; the ones who come after enjoy the shade!"
Li Ji couldn't help sighing. "If the First Emperor hadn't refined an immortal mountain, such a heaven-defying divine treasure, then even if we were lucky enough to break through to Great Emperor, we'd probably be wiped out by this tribulation.
