Chapter 553 - 463: Weak Water Celestial Tribulation

Chapter 553: Chapter 463: Weak Water Celestial Tribulation

The sky lightly shook, clouds churned, as if a giant beast was roaring within, capturing the soul.

Layer upon layer of cloudy Qi pressed down as if the entire sky was collapsing.

At this moment, all cultivators felt their hearts tremble, unable to control themselves. Under the ultimate pressure, a great terror swelled within their hearts, as if they had suddenly become a tiny ant looking up at a giant, about to be crushed in an instant.

This is celestial might, this is celestial tribulation!

Celestial tribulation is the consequence of the seeds sown by the cultivator’s own cultivation.

The celestial dao diminishes excess and replenishes the lacking; energy always transfers from high to low, ultimately achieving balance and cycle among all things.

Yet cultivators draw upon the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of all things into themselves, allowing the strong to grow stronger and the weak to grow weaker, this is the journey against heaven.

Golden Core, moreover, signifies the immortality of the metal attribute, flawless and complete. Being flawless means only Golden Core cultivators can draw from heaven and earth, while the world cannot obtain any feedback from them.

Therefore, cultivators seeking to prove the Golden Core must encounter celestial tribulation.

The more cultivators die, the more balance is achieved in the world, thus celestial tribulation is naturally immensely powerful, extremely difficult to cross.

But the celestial dao is fair; if one cannot cross it, all is lost, the unlucky meet immediate demise, while the luckier ones suffer great reductions to their lifespan, having only a few years left to live, in any case, all hard-earned cultivation dissipates, returning to heaven and earth to maintain balance.

If one does cross it, the cultivator gains exemption from heaven and earth, akin to obtaining a pass token; from then on, striving for immortality and surpassing oneself again, no more "celestial tribulation."

As for entering Nascent Soul from Golden Core, one must cross the "great heart demon tribulation," and from Nascent Soul to Primordial Spirit, one must pass through "life and death refining form"...

These are the cultivator’s own karmic obstacles and cultivation, unrelated to celestial tribulation.

There are many types of celestial tribulations, the most common naturally being thunder tribulation, followed by wind tribulation, fire tribulation, water tribulation, and yin tribulation, among others.

At this moment, Guh Niqiang is about to face the rare "weak water celestial tribulation!"

Lu Qian once wondered if Guh Niqiang was too supremely talented, absorbing too much of heaven and earth’s essence, thus attracting the most restraining weak water celestial tribulation.

Now, the stacked layers of clouds suddenly rolled, turning a yellow-brown color, continuously compressing and condensing inward, like a yellow-brown river hanging in the sky, with increasingly terrifying surges.

Meanwhile, Guh Niqiang transformed into a streak of green fire, fearlessly rushing towards the tribulation clouds.

Even the three Golden Core cultivators were shocked and pale, pausing the battle at this moment.

It’s celestial tribulation! Guh Niqiang’s celestial tribulation!

Why cross the tribulation at this time, according to previous tribulation Qi performance, there should be about half a year left?

But thinking about it now is meaningless, the rolling condensed tribulation clouds made them panic with fright, hurriedly retreating.

Because celestial tribulation is extremely mysterious, targeted by the celestial dao at cultivators, it has the three most important rules.

Firstly, anyone within the range of celestial tribulation will be attacked alongside. Moreover, the higher the cultivation within the range, the stronger the celestial tribulation.

This prevents others from accompanying the crosser in crossing the tribulation together.

Secondly, celestial tribulation exists between form and formless, everywhere, unavoidable and inescapable. Only techniques controlled by the tribulation crosser can resist and block celestial tribulation. ℯℯ𝘭.

For example, now, the celestial tribulation has silently infiltrated the Ten Extremes Ten Directions Grand Array, pressing towards Guh Niqiang, as if the grand array doesn’t exist at all.

Thirdly, the tribulation crosser can only use their own spiritual power to counter celestial tribulation. Once they use spirit veins, spirit stones, etc., celestial tribulation will be endless, without conclusion.

Because only their refined spiritual power is their own; all other spiritual Qi is merely part of heaven and earth. Celestial tribulation is born from heaven and earth, how can it be countered by itself?

Now Guh Niqiang ascends into the air, determined to face celestial tribulation alone, avoiding implicating anyone else, and avoiding being dragged down by others.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze unconsciously gathers on her, watching this burst of green fire meeting the yellow-brown celestial river.

In everyone’s heart, there is awe, there is shock, and there is excitement and indescribable thrill dares to try.

Lu Qian, however, thinks more.

This battle has cost enormous casualties and price, but ultimately exceeded pre-war planning, making the threat of Xuanguang Sect disappear, with even Sanshan County greatly weakened.

If now, Guh Niqiang succeeds in crossing the tribulation and advances to Golden Core, Yunshan Sect will gain greater interests in the post-war division, lacking greater voice.

Even Lu Qian would immediately adjust strategic planning, promptly achieving greater battle results, rewriting the power structure northwest of Cangzhou’s five counties!

But these thoughts only flash briefly.

Watching Guh Niqiang’s figure, countless memories rise in his mind, Lu Qian is filled with tension, lips pursed tightly.

At this moment, he has discarded all positions and interests, purely as "Lu Qian," holding wholehearted expectations and hopes for "Guh Niqiang."

Must succeed, must triumph.

If failure occurs, Nishang...

No matter what, such an ending is not desired.

Lu Qian suddenly feels an urge rising within, if Guh Niqiang fails to cross the tribulation, he will, by every means, extend her life, and then enter the Corpse Storage Forbidden Land to seek another Creation Fire Pill for her!

Can Guh Niqiang succeed in crossing the tribulation?

If before this battle, Lu Qian held immense confidence in her.

With her extraordinary talent, astonishing combat prowess, backed by full support and assistance from the small dominant Danxia Sect, she would surely not fail before celestial tribulation.
