The Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation required one to withstand five times nine, or forty-five, bolts of tribulation lightning. Only after passing through it would one truly break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Li Changsheng had previously told Ji Zining that Ji Chenkong had obtained a magical treasure capable of withstanding the Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation. That was why she could be so at ease.
With the magical treasure he had been given, no one could stop her father, Ji Chenkong, from breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm this time!
Li Changsheng glanced at Ji Chenkong and Ji Zining and nodded slightly.
"All right. You father and daughter can go out together."
As for Ji Chenkong's tribulation, Li Changsheng did not tell Ji Zining to watch and gain experience in undergoing tribulations.
That was because Ji Zining's way of undergoing a tribulation was different from everyone else's!
The Heavenly Tribulation had dispersed its own power and turned into lightning that tempered her body. What was left for her to do to get through it?
Wouldn't she just have to sit cross-legged and wait for her body to be tempered?
Thinking of the scene when Ji Zining underwent her tribulation, Li Changsheng was rendered speechless again.
Comparing yourself to others could drive you mad!
With a sweep of his sleeve, a surge of power poured out and enveloped Ji Zining and Ji Chenkong.
Under the force of that power, Ji Zining and Ji Chenkong vanished from the small world.
Li Changsheng glanced at Xiao Jiu, the only one still sleeping on the ground, and smiled with relief.
Fortunately, this little fellow was not as freakish as Ji Zining!
As if aware of what Li Changsheng was thinking, Xiao Jiu suddenly rolled over and pointed his backside at him.
Li Changsheng's smile froze.
This... little fellow has a rebellious streak!
Ji Zining and Ji Chenkong appeared out of thin air in a square.
As soon as they appeared, black tribulation clouds began gathering in the sky above the square.
The expressions of the Ziwei Holy Land disciples who had been cultivating and discussing the Dao in the square changed at the sight.
A Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation!
Someone was about to undergo a tribulation here!
Realizing this, they hurriedly looked around. The moment these cultivators saw Ji Zining, their expressions changed again.
Then respectful voices rang out in unison across the square.
"Greetings, Your Divine Son!"
After greeting her, the Ziwei Holy Land disciples in the square looked curiously toward Ji Zining and Ji Chenkong.
Ji Zining!
It was Ji Zining, who had just been conferred the title of Divine Son!
The monstrous genius for whom the Heavenly Dao of their True Martial Dao Domain had personally bestowed half its power of destiny as a blessing!
And the man beside her was... her father?
Hadn't his cultivation been at the Nascent Soul Realm before? How had he broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm after just one day?
Sensing Ji Chenkong's cultivation, the many Ziwei Holy Land disciples came to a realization.
It seemed the Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation overhead had been brought on by Ji Zining's father.
Ji Zining was startled by the sudden chorus of greetings around her.
Such a grand reception?
After collecting her thoughts, Ji Zining spoke softly.
"There's no need for such courtesy. Please leave the square, everyone. The Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend!"
"Rumble!"
As if in response to Ji Zining, the roar of tribulation lightning came from the clouds gathering overhead.
Hearing her, the Ziwei Holy Land disciples hurriedly responded.
"We obey the Divine Son's decree!"
With that, the Ziwei Holy Land disciples in the square scattered in all directions.
Though they dispersed, they did not go far, instead watching from a distance.
They were intensely curious about the Divine Son, Ji Zining. There was no time to meet her and get to know her up close now, so even a glimpse from afar was worthwhile.
A legendary heaven's chosen like her was not someone they could see whenever they pleased!
Some Ziwei Holy Land disciples whose cultivation was not much different from Ji Zining's even showed signs of fighting spirit.
They wanted to fight Ji Zining!
Once Ji Zining grew powerful in the future, they could proudly say that they too had fought her, pushing themselves to the utmost!
Ji Zining cast a grateful glance at the many Ziwei Holy Land disciples who had dispersed from the square.
If they did not leave and were caught up in Ji Chenkong's Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The power of a Heavenly Tribulation amplified by their presence was no joke. Ji Zining did not dare guarantee that Ji Chenkong could survive it,
even though Ji Chenkong already had a magical treasure that guaranteed he could survive this tribulation.
That guarantee only covered a normal Heavenly Tribulation, not one whose power had been amplified.
Withdrawing her gaze, Ji Zining smiled at Ji Chenkong.
"Father, I should move farther away too. Do your best to pass the tribulation and become a true Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator!"
Ji Chenkong nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Ning'er. Your father won't let you down!"
His Ning'er's talent defied the heavens, and he could no longer do much to help her.
The only thing he could do now was avoid becoming a burden to Ji Zining and provide for himself.
So he had to pass this Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation!
Besides, his beloved was still waiting for him to return in Flowing Moon City, the distant imperial capital of the Flowing Moon Dynasty!
Ji Zining tapped the ground with her toes and retreated.
On the way, Ji Zining sensed the power of the tribulation lightning and relaxed a little.
It was only at the level of someone who had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even without a magical treasure, Ji Chenkong should be able to get through it.
All the more so now that Ji Chenkong had a magical treasure given to him by Holy Lord Hua Qianyan.
After putting some distance between them, Ji Zining stopped and began to wait.
The sky above the square was already shrouded in tribulation clouds as black as ink.
And it was not just the square; the sky for several thousand miles around was shrouded in tribulation clouds.
Seeing how far the tribulation clouds spread, the Ziwei Holy Land disciples watching from the surrounding area could not help nodding slightly.
It was fairly impressive, surpassing the range of an ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm tribulation.
The most ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation covered an area of a thousand miles.
But the Spirit Transformation Realm Heavenly Tribulation brought on by their Divine Son Ji Zining's father covered several thousand miles.
That alone was enough to show that their Divine Son Ji Zining's father was no mediocrity.
"Rumble!"
"Boom!"
With all eyes upon it, a rumble rang out, and a bolt of purple tribulation lightning, fully formed, plunged from the tribulation clouds straight toward Ji Chenkong below.
At the sight of that bolt, every Ziwei Holy Land disciple watching the tribulation stared without blinking.
They wanted to see whether this Heavenly Tribulation was normal or not.
After watching Ji Zining undergo her tribulation, they all felt that Heavenly Tribulations were no longer normal.
Sensing the tribulation lightning lock onto him, Ji Chenkong's expression hardened. He circulated the spiritual power in his body and charged to meet it.
"Boom!"
The tribulation lightning, carrying terrifying power, collided with Ji Chenkong with a deafening crash.
Seeing this, the Ziwei Holy Land disciples breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation was normal.
If Ji Chenkong's Heavenly Tribulation had been abnormal too, they would have begun to question their lives,
and ask themselves a soul-searching question: had they perhaps been cultivating a false path to immortality?
