Chapter 5: Heavenly Tribulations Have a Cool-off Period?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
…
“An elder has died. Our sect has its own by-laws, so we’ll just do what we’re supposed to.”
A beautiful woman, with a big red coat draped over her and half her breasts exposed, lazily replied.
She was Liu Zhiyuan’s first wife, Wei Feifei.
The silver-haired old man stole a few glances at her body, before he said seriously.
“Junior Wei, you’re wrong to say that. Senior Liu had great prestige in this sect. Many disciples have benefited from his guidance. Now that he has died under mysterious circumstances – I won’t talk about how others should respond – but as the law enforcement elder, I must find out what happened!”
Wei Feifei suddenly shot a wink at the silver-haired old man.
“Elder Lu, you’re too kind. In that case, this widow here would like to thank you on behalf of her husband.”
Every move she made.
Caused the hearts of everyone in the Deacons Hall to flutter.
Even Lu Guiyuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with strong mental fortitude, could not help but get flustered.
As for the Qi Refinement disciples listening from the side.
Their blood qi surged, and was difficult to control.
“Cough, cough…it’s only right that I do that.”
Lu Guiyuan reluctantly turned away.
“By the way, should we inform Nephew Feiyang about Senior Liu’s demise?”
As soon as her son was mentioned.
Wei Feifei became serious, which was rare.
She adjusted her coat, covering up her snow-white, tender flesh.
“There’s no need.”
“My husband valued Feiyang the most while he was alive. He was worried that Feiyang’s talent would get buried in a small place like Yongzhou. So he sent him to the holy land to cultivate. At the moment, we still don’t know who harmed my husband. Sending word rashly will only hinder Feiyang’s cultivation.”
“Once Elder Lu finds the murderer, I’ll personally inform Feiyang.”
Lu Guiyuan stroked his beard.
“In that case, let’s find out who harmed Senior Liu first!”
“How dare he oppose our sect in Yongzhou…hmph! I’ll make the murderer wish he had never been born!”
He made a decision.
“I will personally lead the team to Green Cliff Mountain. I’ll have to trouble Junior Gu and Junior Zhong to join me, as well as to select six elite disciples…”
After a while.
Lu Guiyuan called for his team to gather.
Just in case.
He even requested for the vice sect leader to retrieve a magic treasure, [Red Flame Blood Wheel], from the secret vault.
The magic treasure was extremely powerful.
It could also easily turn around and bite its master.
Ordinary demonic cultivators could not control it.
Lu Guiyuan had ordered three Foundation Establishment cultivators to take turns being in charge of it. It was the only way they might be able to control that powerful demonic weapon.
The group was all packed and ready to set off.
Not far from Six Peak Mountain.
They ran into Ji Lianyou, who was dressed in plain white. And Jiang Shaoyuan, who was following behind her with a submissive but very determined expression.
From afar, Lu Guiyuan saw Ji Lianyou’s delicate, pitiful look.
Then he recalled Wei Feifei’s coquettish figure.
He could not help but silently curse at Liu Zhiyuan’s luck with women!
Although Ji Lianyou was not from Black Frost Demonic Sect.
Everyone knew that she was Liu Zhiyuan’s mistress.
Seeing that she was thirsting for revenge.
He let her follow them on their journey.
…
At noon.
The group from Black Frost Demonic Sect arrived at Green Cliff Mountain.
Lu Guiyuan had sharp eyes.
He had already spotted the tribulation clouds from afar.
Immediately, his expression changed.
“Halt!”
“It’s a heavenly tribulation!”
“Could Senior Liu have died while undergoing a tribulation?”
Those on the demonic path were the most sensitive to heavenly tribulations.
They knew that the extreme evil and arrogance of demons would definitely be punished by the heavens.
Therefore, they rarely even came out during thunderstorms.
Not to mention offend a lightning tribulation.
Even if Lu Guiyuan had not asked.
The rest would have stopped moving forward while they were still far from the tribulation.
Among them, Ji Lianyou was the most eager for revenge.
She anxiously observed for a while, before shaking her head.
“Zhiyuan’s time to undergo tribulations was still far away. This isn’t his heavenly tribulation.”
Lu Guiyuan was puzzled too.
He and Liu Zhiyuan were rivals.
They knew each other extremely well.
That man was still thousands of miles away from undergoing tribulations. How could he have been struck by lightning?
“Maybe somebody nearby was undergoing a tribulation. And Teacher was accidentally implicated as he passed by?”
Jiang Shaoyuan muttered softly.
“That’s possible…”
Lu Guiyuan frowned.
“But Senior Liu couldn’t have been that stupid, right?”
“Strange! This is strange!”
The rest of the group looked towards him.
The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators clearly wanted to retreat.
But Lu Guiyuan did not want to leave.
He had announced with great fanfare that morning that he would avenge Liu Zhiyuan. If he quietly backed down and returned in the afternoon, saying that Liu Zhiyuan had been struck by a lightning tribulation – who would believe that?
Wei Feifei might be willing to believe it.
But her son would never!
Plus, he had to deal with the matter beautifully.
Otherwise, he would not be in line for the vice sect leader position about to become vacant at the end of the year!
He pretended to be deep in thought, and said.
“If things are out of the ordinary, there must be a culprit.”
“Senior Liu was no fool. Everyone is clear on that. So we must find out how he died. Even if Senior Liu was truly implicated by another person’s heavenly tribulation, we must kill the person who underwent that tribulation to avenge him!”
“This looks to me like the heavenly tribulation of an orthodox disciple. Why don’t we do this? We’ll wait from a distance. Once the tribulation clouds disappear, we’ll take down that disciple and demand an explanation. How about that?”
The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other.
They decided to give Lu Guiyuan face in the end.
They found a place to rest on the cliff behind the mountain.
Then began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

…
[After 20 hard days of cultivation, your Five Dragon Technique experience +20]
…
[Eternal Elemental Lightning True Technique: After the first month of the tribulation, heavenly lightning will strike your body and true fire will refine your heart. You will feel that you have become stronger!
…
Passive Reward 1: Your Lightning Palm experience +2000 (current proficiency level is exquisite: 3103/5000)
…
Passive Reward 2: Your Five Dragon Technique experience +900 (current proficiency level is exquisite: 1379/5000)
…
Active Reward: Please select –
…
It has been detected that you have currently mastered two exquisite-level spells of the same origin. Would you like to merge Lightning Palm and Five Dragon Technique?]
…
Since they had the same origin, and could even be merged with each other, why did he have to cultivate them separately from the beginning?
Wei Bujuan found that strange.
But out of curiosity, he clicked “Confirm”.
…
[Merging completed. You have obtained the spell Five Dragon True Lightning.]
…
[Five Dragon True Lightning (Exquisite/ Cannot Be Upgraded): You may use your palm and five fingers to generate elemental lightning. You may shoot a maximum of six thunderbolts to kill your enemies.]
…
He took a look.
After the merging.
Lightning Palm and Five Dragon Technique continued to exist as separate spells.
He had simply earned an additional, non-upgradable [Five Dragon True Lightning].
Three spells.
Wei Bujuan tried them one at a time.
…
Lightning Palm was still as disappointing as ever.
It was the perfect example of a barking dog that never bit.
It was so loud that it could shock people to death.
But so weak that its strength was inferior even to a sneeze.
And it even created some serious light pollution.
That was one reason why Wei Bujuan had given up on cultivating it.
…
On the other hand, Five Dragon Technique was quite useful.
It was an actual combat skill that was a cross between a palm technique and a finger technique.
Once the spell was activated…
A layer of lightning would attach to Wei Bujuan’s palms.
And the speed of his hands would increase by quite a few levels!
“It’s a pity that this hand speed can’t be used for XX…”
As he experienced the feeling of his hands almost flying.
Wei Bujuan felt deeply regretful.
…
And as for Five Dragon True Lightning…
That looked decent as well.
As soon as Wei Bujuan stretched out a hand.
He could open a bright white electric net.
And attack enemies up to three meters away.
It was hard to gauge how much damage it could cause.
But it was definitely Wei Bujuan’s strongest method of attack so far!
“Whatever it is, I finally have a means to defend myself against enemies now…”
Only after Wei Bujuan had practiced launching and withdrawing the spell at will a few times.
Did he feel slightly more at ease.
…
For the active reward.
He chose [Spell] again this time.
The Qi Observation he had gotten previously was very useful.
So naturally, Wei Bujuan would not change to a different category without good reason.
…
[You have selected Spell –
…
You have obtained Spirit Qi Bottle (Transcendent).
…
Spirit Qi Bottle: By expending half of your magic power, you can create a bottle which can contain anything.
…
Note: Your personal magic power will continue to be consumed during the period that the Spirit Qi Bottle is used as storage.]
…
Transcendent?
What a high proficiency level!
Wei Bujuan was overjoyed.
The six proficiency levels of spells were, in increasing order: entry-level, expert, exquisite, transcendent, profound and great dao.
Exquisite spells were often able to display combat power beyond the cultivator’s current stage.
Transcendent spells had even greater power!
“Pity that this seems to be an auxiliary type of spell?”
Wei Bujuan tested the spell immediately.
However, he fumbled a little on his first attempt at creating a bottle.
Either the mouth was too wide, or the interior was way too narrow.
After half a day.
He finally molded a bottle with a shape he was satisfied with.
…
[Wei Bujuan’s Spirit Qi Bottle (Foundation Establishment): It can be used to foster medicinal pills and immortal herbs, or to store souls and spirits. It can also be used to collect thunder and rain…]
…
Without hesitation.
Wei Bujuan injected a bit of magic power into the Spirit Qi Bottle.
Then he aimed the mouth of the bottle at the sky.
A short while later.
A sense of fullness was transmitted from the bottle!
…
[Spirit Qi Bottle: You have obtained a batch of Nine Heavens Lightning!]
…
Wei Bujuan was overjoyed!
Although he was half-dead from exhaustion because of that bottle.
It was worth it!
Nine Heavens Lightning was far more powerful than Five Dragon True Lightning.
It was a lightning technique with a trace of the heavenly dao’s might!
What demons and monsters?!
Once they were struck by Nine Heavens Lightning.
That would be the end of them!
“Another good actual combat weapon…”
Wei Bujuan’s heart and mind settled.
The more he watched the majestic tribulation clouds, the more pleasing they started to look.
However.
Just as he was wondering if he should create a few more Spirit Qi Bottles to take advantage of the heavenly tribulation.
The electric currents in the air suddenly disappeared like a low tide!
…
[Eternal Elemental Lightning True Technique: The heavenly tribulation has entered a three-day cool-off period. During this period, the tribulation clouds will thin, almost to the point of disappearance. Your range of movement will also widen…]
…
Heavenly tribulations had a cool-off period?
Wei Bujuan was delighted.
Just nice, he had been cultivating hard for a month.
It was not a bad idea to get up and move around!
…
At that time.
On the cliff behind the mountain.
“The heavenly tribulation is gone!”
“Let’s go!”
Lu Guiyuan ordered.
The demonic sect members charged mightily as a group!
…
