I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 701: Chapter 377: Celestial Fox’s Tribulation (Part 2)

"These few magical treasures were meticulously refined by me for your tribulation crossing. They can provide assistance at critical moments during your crossing, helping you safely pass through the Thunder Tribulation," Li Mu’s tone was filled with care and anticipation for Xue’Er.

"Of course, while these tribulation crossing treasures are quite powerful and can indeed offer some protection when the Thunder Tribulation descends, ultimately, you must rely on yourself. Remember, during the tribulation crossing, if it is not absolutely necessary, do not overly depend on them. Try to rely on your own abilities to get through the Thunder Tribulation. Only in this way can you truly transcend yourself. I believe you can succeed!" Li Mu watched Xue’Er and said expectantly.

Xue’Er took the few tribulation crossing treasures handed over by Li Mu and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Unexpectedly, Lord Li had already made so many preparations for her in advance. This made her feel both moved and encouraged.

Xue’Er took a deep breath, looked resolutely at Li Mu, and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Lord Li, I will certainly work hard and will not disappoint your expectations."

"Good! I will send you to the Tribulation Crossing Platform. Hurry and refine them," Li Mu nodded with a smile and spoke to Xue’Er.

With that said, Li Mu gently waved his hand, and a Spirit Sword appeared before him. He leaped lightly, gracefully landing on the sword. His posture was dashing and composed. The Spirit Sword slightly trembled under his feet, as if it was also looking forward to the upcoming journey.

Seeing this, Xue’Er did not hesitate. She immediately leaped and gracefully landed behind Li Mu. She reached out to embrace his waist, her movements natural and fluid, as if the two of them had fought side by side countless times before.

"Hold on! Here we go!" Li Mu’s voice echoed in Xue’Er’s ear, and the Spirit Sword beneath their feet instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, slicing through the sky and dashing towards the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

The speed of the Spirit Sword was incredibly fast, seemingly capable of traversing space. Within just a brief moment, they had arrived above the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

The Tribulation Crossing Platform was where disciples of the Seven Profound Sect crossed their tribulations. It was located on a secluded Spirit Peak on the outskirts of the Seven Gods Mountain. Although this Spirit Peak was not conspicuous, it had a unique flow of Spiritual Qi, providing an excellent environment for tribulation crossing.

Li Mu controlled the Spirit Sword to slowly descend, finally coming to a steady stop on the Tribulation Crossing Platform. Xue’Er jumped off the Flying Sword and onto the platform. When she looked up, she saw several mysterious arrays arranged on the platform, faintly glowing, seemingly preparing for the upcoming Thunder Tribulation.

"This is the Tribulation Crossing Platform," Li Mu pointed ahead and said, "Xue’Er, now quickly refine the tribulation crossing treasures and prepare to face the tribulation. Remember, do not fear the Thunder Tribulation. With your cultivation and talent, you can handle it with ease. There’s no doubt about it."

Xue’Er nodded her head, sat down cross-legged, and started forming two-hand seals. She began to activate her internal Spiritual Power, initiating the refinement of the tribulation crossing treasures in her hands.

As Xue’Er activated her power, the Spirit Light on the treasures began to flow slowly and gradually merged into her body.

At this moment, the thunderclouds gathering in the sky accelerated towards this side. Li Mu looked up at the approaching thunderclouds and understood that the moment for Xue’Er’s tribulation crossing had arrived.

Li Mu hurriedly controlled the sword to fly away from the Tribulation Crossing Platform, hovering beside it, watching Xue’Er’s tribulation crossing.

The power of the Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation should not be underestimated. Once enveloped within it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the heavens, thunderclouds rolled, the electric light flickered, and the momentum was astonishing.

At the center of the thunderclouds, faintly gathered a thick Thunder Pillar, seemingly the fury of the Heavenly Dao, poised to destroy any creature daring to challenge its laws. The thunder’s pressure made the surrounding space tremble, foretelling the impending catastrophe.

Xue’Er felt an unprecedented pressure, but she did not retreat. She closed her eyes tightly, concentrating entirely on activating the Demon Power within her, preparing to face the descent of the Thunder Tribulation. She knew this was a significant test in her cultivation journey.

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared beside Li Mu, wearing the attire of Seven Profound Sect disciples. They were a few elders within the sect, their gazes heavy as they watched the thunderclouds in the sky, all feeling the power of the Thunder Tribulation.

"So it’s Miss Xue’Er undergoing the tribulation," Fang Shixin looked at Xue’Er on the Tribulation Crossing Platform, and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement and admiration. His eyes were filled with surprise and appreciation, clearly shaken by the strength and talent exhibited by Xue’Er.

"Miss Xue’Er’s cultivation and talent are truly extraordinary!" Another elder, Ge Xinyu, couldn’t help but praise, "The shape of the Thunder Tribulation is unusual, appearing as a pillar-like thundercloud. Could this be the Nine Pillar Transformation Thunder Tribulation, only seen in High Tier True Spirit tribulations?"

"It should be it!" Qin Wentong nodded in agreement, "This kind of thundercloud poses a severe test on the Dao Heart, descending heart demon tribulations, seven emotions tribulations, six desires tribulations, and other tribulations. These accumulated tribulation thunders make it probably the most difficult Transformation Thunder Tribulation."

...

All the elders spoke one after another, discussing continuously. Their gazes involuntarily turned towards the Sect Master, Li Mu, expecting him to enlighten them.

Since joining the sect over ten years ago, Li Mu had garnered the Seven Profound Sect’s respect and admiration. Not only did he excel in artifact refining and array formation, but he also demonstrated outstanding talent in beast taming, possessing five Sect Guardian Divine Beasts: Cyan Moon True Dragon, Cyan Jade Ginseng King, among others. Whether in appearance, strength, or talent, they were akin to guardian divine beasts of the sect.

However, Li Mu alone possessed all five, and even Xue’Er, his maid, was an extraordinarily powerful fox demon with unusual bloodline.

At this moment, the elders looked at Li Mu, curious about Xue’Er’s bloodline and background, as it seemed necessary to pass such a High Tier Thunder Tribulation. Only Li Mu could provide an accurate answer.

In response to their inquisitive gazes, Li Mu merely smiled softly, without directly answering their question. Xue’Er’s bloodline and background involved some sensitive issues, and now was not the time to discuss them. The most important thing was to ensure Xue’Er successfully crossed her Thunder Tribulation.

Li Mu gazed at the crowd, merely adding faintly, "Miss Xue’Er is indeed outstanding, and her bloodline and background are extraordinary, but for now, let’s focus on her success in getting through this tribulation! Conveniently, the other details are not necessary to discuss."

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances, their eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness and regret. They understood that the topic of Xue’Er’s bloodline and background was obviously not suitable for discussion at the present time. So, they tacitly chose to end the topic, redirecting their focus on the Tribulation Crossing Platform, observing Xue’Er’s process of tribulation crossing.

The crowd’s gaze was filled with expectation and tension. They knew that Xue’Er was facing a tremendous challenge at this moment. The atmosphere on the Tribulation Crossing Platform turned exceptionally heavy and tense, as if even the air had solidified.

As time passed, the crowd’s mood became more and more solemn, knowing this Thunder Tribulation was a significant test for Xue’Er and a crucial turning point in her cultivation journey. If she succeeded, her cultivation and strength would increase immensely. If she failed, she might face severe injuries or even the risk of falling.

Finally, after the crowd’s anxious waiting, half an hour passed. The Thunder Pillar in the sky finally completed its condensation. A thick thunderbolt struck fiercely, heading straight for Xue’Er.

At that moment, it was as if the entire world changed color because of it. The weight of the thunder startled those around, causing them to sweat coldly on behalf of Xue’Er.

The thunderbolt ruthlessly collided with the intense Demon Power emanating from Xue’Er, resulting in a staggering energy fluctuation. The Spiritual Qi surrounding the Tribulation Crossing Platform surged violently, stirring up a Spiritual Power storm. However, in the face of this terrifying Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation, Xue’Er remained undaunted. She concentrated fully on resisting the bombardment of the thunderbolts, continuously arousing the Demon Power within her body to counter the attacks head-on.

As the thunderbolts ceaselessly struck down, the aura surrounding Xue’Er constantly changed, enduring the agony of the thunderbolts consuming her. Nonetheless, her mindset became more resilient and composed. Each thunderbolt’s blast matured and strengthened her more, as if she was employing the tempering of this tribulation to continuously transform and grow.
