CBGC - ch112.2

"The clouds of calamity have yet to disperse, the Heavenly Tribulation is not over yet!"

"But Su Lijiang has obviously successfully crossed the Tribulation. What's going on? He has already entered the Immortal Palace. Does he intend to bring the Thunder Tribulation in there?"

Everyone is confused, nobody knows what’s happening.

No one could have imagined that in the depths the sea, there’s still someone crossing the Tribulation.

The waves surge, rising tens of zhang high, lapping at the Divine Tree as if it’s going to overturn it.

Inside, the Divine Tree's Heart is shaking from side to side, swayed by the strong wind as if it is going to break. Du Xizhi can no longer continue to cultivate, so he looks at the Kunlun Divine Tree carefully. Seeing that it seems like it’s about to be blown down, he immediately reaches out to support it. However, before his hand could touch the tree, he is fiercely whipped by the Divine Tree's Heart.

It has firmly rooted itself in the sea, it’s standing firmly, and would not be overturned by mere waves!

In the next moment however, a thunderbolt falls straight into the deep sea, and the huge impact lifts tens of thousands of waves. The Kunlun Divine Tree seems to be uprooted, and the small tree sapling that is the Tree's Heart wraps around Du Xizhi's body, the previously hard branches become soft and weak. At the same time, there’s violent winds, thunder and lightning, and the downpour of torrential rain. The sky is dark and gloomy, itself appearing like it’s about to drip down.

In the deep pool of the Sealed Heavenly Border, the first Heavenly Tribulation has arrived.

Su Tingyun was originally sitting cross-legged, but now, she stands up and breaks through the waves, sword in hand, to face the lightning. It’s just like her usual practice, and she only uses one sword. With a single strike, it’s as if the deep pool is cut in half, and the power of the lightning is torn apart.

In the distance, there’s a chirping sound that seems as if it’s cheering for her.

Su Tingyun puts away her sword, and continues to circulate her spiritual energy, waiting for the second thunder tribulation.

The second Heavenly Tribulation comes in an instant, and several lightning bolts strike down. It is similar to being in the bamboo forest of the Obliteration Sword Tower. These Heavenly Tribulations are not much different from the sword intent of the bamboo leaves in the forest. With a single sword, she shatters them without wading in mud or water*.

(no hesitation or wasted, sloppy movements)

Thunder roars, and lightning bolts flash one after another. She swings her sword to fend off the strikes, forgetting anything else, as if she’s on that ancient battlefield, where nothing else matters aside from the sword in her hand, and the act of wielding it.

There is righteousness in the world, which endlessly nurtures all things, and at this moment, it provides her with an endless stream of power.

"There is righteousness in heaven and earth, it takes on various forms. Below, it is the rivers and the mountains, above, it is the sun and stars." As she speaks these words slowly and deliberately, the water in the entire deep pool goes still. In the Sealed Heaven Border, boulders fly out and mountains crumble, as if the whole place is about to collapse. Big Bai has grown larger before but got hit by a lot of rocks, heart on its mouth for worrying about its Granny. Let the stones fall, it doesn’t care. However, it doesn’t take long before it shrinks its body to the size of a palm, making it difficult for the rocks to hit it.

The rocks tumble down, and from time to time, huge boulders fall down from the mountain. The orchid tongue grasses growing all over the mountains are crushed, and there’s no way to help them. But at this moment, all of the orchid tongue grasses are repeating Su Tingyun’s mantra.

They neither laugh nor cry, instead they shout, "There is righteousness in heaven and earth."

Just like Little Bai in the Obliteration Sword Tower from before.

"Boom!" Another thunderbolt falls down, and Big Bai can only hear the sound but not see the changes inside. However, Big Bai is surprised to find that there are strands of light appearing in the gray sky above it. As if the black cloth covering its head has a hole on it, letting in some sunlight to leak through.

It has never seen real sunlight before, and is dumbfounded as it stares at the sky, which is getting closer and closer. Su Tingyun receives the last thunderbolt and sees a beam of sunlight seeping through the thick barrier, giving the pool water a prismatic array of colors.

The seal is broken, right?

She feels the changes in this body, and that all her injuries have completely healed. Her mental state is great. It turns out that ascending to Mahayana isn’t that hard after all.

However, after she has succeeded, she discovers that the water in the pool is frozen solid by the sunlight. She is trapped in the ice layer. But although she is sealed, her body isn’t harmed. The Pill Fire inside her has been tempered by the lightning, and at this moment, the flames are shining brightly, making her feel no coldness at all. Still, her movements are restricted.

Su Tingyun eventually breaks out of the ice layer and returns to the entrance of the deep pool. She sees that the sky in the Sealed Heaven Border has collapsed. The black dome above her head is getting closer and closer, and all the mountains and trees are destroyed and broken. The power is so strong that even she feels her heart beat faster.

Unfortunately, Big Bai is still looking up dumbly, the two green leaves on its forehead almost touching the ground.

Su Tingyun pulls Big Bai from the water's edge and onto the ice.

Right then, Big Bai is only the size of a palm, and Su Tingyun holds onto it like a soft and slippery ball, almost losing it.

The restriction on the Sealed Heaven Border has been broken, the formation has collapsed, and the entire space will be torn apart. Su Tingyun must firmly hold onto Big Bai and rush out of the sealing enchantment. And so, she grabs the two leaves and holds onto Big Bai firmly, desperately running towards the formation's eye.

These damn floating icebergs are actually restricting her movements. She can’t teleport or fly past them, so she could only run for her life. Her palms are full of sweat!

Finally reaching where the eye of the formation is, the seal on the sky has also fallen heavily, and with a reverberating noise, the ice immediately cracks, and a water column rises up, carrying her and Big Bai into the air.

It’s good, this time, they’ve come out together.

Big Bai hasn’t been left behind.

However, Big Bai is not happy at all. It grows larger and jumps out of Su Tingyun's hand, then stays on the water column by itself. Its body turns a deep gray, and the color is still showing signs of going darker.

Su Tingyun looks down at her hand and tears almost fall from her eyes.

She has actually pulled off one of Big Bai's leaves. Oh mother, Big Bai is going to lose its mind. Its middle-parting hairstyle has become a full side-part! As she turns nervous and shakes her hand, the leaf trembles and falls down, and is swept away by the water column.

Big Bai is not left behind, but the most precious leaf on its forehead is forever left in the Sealed Heaven Border.
