Lingyuan Realm, Eastern Region, Heavenly Thunder Bureau.
As one of the few major immortal sects in the Eastern Region that possessed an ancient immortal bloodline inheritance, the Heavenly Thunder Bureau's influence already covered more than two-thirds of the Eastern Region's domains.
Apart from the central core region of the Eastern Region, all Dao Tribulations and thunder punishments in every other domain, large or small—including the Heavenly Sea Domain—were controlled by them alone.
Whether it was the smallest physical realm, a somewhat higher realm gate, or a ruling realm gate with True Immortals stationed within, so long as cultivators sought to prove the Dao and break through their realms, a wisp of Calamity Spirit would descend from the Heavenly Thunder Bureau.
When the two True Lords of the Wave-Chasing Sea Pavilion had previously requested the descent of lightning tribulation, a lightning guide had appeared to administer the law.
These lightning guides were Heavenly Thunder Bureau cultivators dispatched to various domains. They possessed partial control over tribulations and Calamity Spirits, allowing them to carry out tribulation descents for the vast majority of lower-realm cultivators.
Should special circumstances arise—such as a peerless talent like Yang Lingshu, who pioneered an entirely new Dao path, proving the Dao, or a Treading Void cultivator attempting the great feat of becoming immortal—that would exceed the scope of tribulations they could descend. At such times, cultivators from the Heavenly Thunder Bureau would need to personally descend the tribulation, after which the guides would direct them through it.
The five lightning guides stationed in the Heavenly Sea Domain had all sensed the cry for help released by that Seven-Kill Calamity Spirit just now.
However, because that Calamity Spirit was not directly under their control, its plea for aid passed straight over the five of them and was conveyed directly
