Chapter 793 - 714: Reaching the Peak 123
"This is a Small Thunder Tribulation! I didn’t expect to face a Small Thunder Tribulation right after crossing the Thunder Tribulation. This person’s aptitude is truly extraordinary! Which family’s disciple is this?" The Advanced Cultivator watching the thunderclouds gathering in the sky again was utterly amazed. This innate talent is simply demonic!
In the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation, each small stage progression brings a Small Thunder Tribulation, as each small stage progression represents a significant leap in cultivation. Therefore, progressing in each small stage in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is not easy, comparable to past Great Realm progressions.
Tan Shuangshuang did not anticipate encountering Small Thunder Tribulations right after crossing the Thunder Tribulation, and they were not one but two, as two bolts of lightning struck consecutively from the sky. This indicates that Tan Shuangshuang has directly become a Tribulation Crossing Second Rank powerhouse.
Since Tan Shuangshuang’s cultivation was brought by the Thunder Tribulation, there is no risk of unstable cultivation. After crossing the Thunder Tribulation and advancing through two small stages of Small Thunder Tribulations, a gentle golden Spirit Rain began to pour from the sky.
This golden rain is formed from the Spiritual Energy gathered as the thunderclouds formed, transforming into Spirit Rain after the Thunder Tribulation dissipates. The Spirit Rain is comparable to liquid Spirit Stones, and of the High-level Spirit Stone type, which can be consumed directly for cultivation or replenishing Spiritual Power, making it a rare treasure.
Seeing this Spirit Rain, the surrounding onlookers hurriedly took out various containers and began to employ various methods to collect the Spirit Rain, ensuring none went to waste.
Witnessing the advancement of Tribulation Crossing powerhouses is one of the greatest benefits, for every successful Tribulation Crossing powerhouses will have Spirit Rain descend, allowing the spectators to partake in benefits, which these powerhouses typically overlook.
However, Spirit Rain is indeed valuable, and Tan Shuangshuang also took out a Jade Bottle inscribed with a Space Expansion Array and used a spell to gather and collect the Spirit Rain from the areas surrounding her where no one was standing.
The surrounding spectators noticed and naturally refrained from collecting Spirit Rain from the areas Tan Shuangshuang was gathering.
Tan Shuangshuang only collected a small portion of the Spirit Rain, generously allowing the majority to be collected by the onlookers. This benevolence further won the favor of the spectators, as such generosity from a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse is indeed rare.
The Spirit Rain fell for a full hour before ceasing, after which those who collected the Spirit Rain came to Tan Shuangshuang to express their gratitude. Typically, after Tribulation Crossing powerhouses crossed the tribulation, they would collect most of the Spirit Rain, leaving only a small part for others, while Tan Shuangshuang generously gave away most of it.
Actually, Tan Shuangshuang was simply wealthy; though the Spirit Rain is precious, Spirit Stones can also serve its purpose, and she did not lack Spirit Stones, thus, naturally, she did not value the Spirit Rain too much.
After passing the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Tan Shuangshuang did not immediately test whether she could enter the tenth layer of cultivation within Sea China, but instead, after gathering once with Tan Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Fei Hu, and Bai Sheng, she went again to the Library.
This time, only Fei Hu, Lu Tianyi, and Tan Feiyu stayed behind to cultivate, as Bai Sheng, who was already Martial Venerate, had reached the time to cultivate Heart Realm.
Nothing enriches one’s Heart Realm more than the knowledge of books; they say reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. Tan Shuangshuang and Bai Sheng have traveled thousands of miles, and now they only need to read thousands of books.
After Martial Venerate, cultivation, including that above the Tribulation Crossing level, must first emphasize Heart Realm. Currently, Tan Shuangshuang’s Mental Realm Cultivation, after breaking through to Tribulation Crossing Second Rank, is insufficient and must continue strengthening.
Tan Shuangshuang knew that if her Mental Realm Cultivation was insufficient, continuing arduous cultivation would be useless, better to continue honing heart-state, like finishing the unread books in the Library she had always coveted.
The Library houses countless books; to read them all could take hundreds of years, only reading those of interest. This time, Tan Shuangshuang and Bai Sheng directly pressed ten thousand High-level Spirit Stones each, as for the Top-grade Spirit Stones, these reusable treasures, Tan Shuangshuang and Bai Sheng would not use them lightly.
This time Tan Shuangshuang stayed in the Library even longer, a full six years. By the sixth year, Fei Hu also broke through Martial Venerate Level, joining Tan Shuangshuang and Bai Sheng in the Library, leaving Tan Feiyu and Lu Tianyi still arduously cultivating to break through Martial Sect.
Tan Shuangshuang pondered letting everyone break through to Martial Venerate, then all stay in the Library for a few years to cultivate their temperament, before heading to Phoenix Feather Country to continue their travels and gain insight, thus improving their Heart Realm Cultivation.
Tan Feiyu and Lu Tianyi are not ones to solely focus on cultivation; after breaking through Martial Sect, feeling their cultivation becoming stagnant, they set up a sparring arena, specifically to fight and spar with fellow cultivators, mutually validating each other.
This approach not only benefited their cultivation but also made many friends out of former adversaries, consuming three years of time. Finally, they reached Martial Venerate Level and arrived at the Library, reuniting after years apart.
This time the group gathered in the Library, spending a total of ten years there. They had read enough, their Heart Realm felt enhanced, and overwhelmed by stillness, they started planning to go out, as the Library was without wind or rain. Though the books were good, reading excessively became inevitably tedious.
As for where to go, there’s no need to overthink. They had long intended to visit Phoenix Feather Country but had been diverted halfway before reaching their destination.
While leaving Sea China this time, they used a passage that wasn’t sliding downwards but rather climbing step by step.
The passage was long, but fortunately, their cultivation was extraordinary, and with the pressure decreasing as they ascended, they only felt like they were about to soar, their bodies light, experiencing a sensation of pure comfort!
Previously when Tan Shuangshuang crossed the tribulation, though she reached the ocean surface, her mind was occupied with crossing the tribulation. Once completed, she hurriedly returned to Sea China, leaving Tan Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Bai Sheng, and Fei Hu unable to experience the relief from pressure.
This time was different; everyone’s mood was relaxed, making external perceptions more acute. Especially after the pressure vanished, the rapid flow of Spiritual Power within them was exhilarating.
Upon stepping outside Sea China’s border, everyone sensed an advancement opportunity in their cultivation, which wasn’t surprising, as nearly all who left Sea China would advance immediately after the pressure was relieved and Spiritual Power surged.
After visiting Sea China, Tan Shuangshuang and the others realized that the prosperous city at the edge of Sea China’s coastline wasn’t just a temporary stay for those traveling to Sea China, but more importantly, a retreat space for those advancing upon leaving Sea China.
Tan Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Bai Sheng, and Fei Hu were arranged into specially rented retreat chambers, with the thunderclouds gathered in the sky indicating Tan Shuangshuang’s Small Thunder Tribulation.
