Chapter 108: The Way of Heaven and the Foundation

"You cleverly used the Lightning Tribulation to kill a level 201 Early Stage Golden Core Realm Red-Blooded Old Turtle. The dropped experience received a certain bonus, and you obtained a total of [Experience Points + 5.6 Billion]!"

"Your level has increased (Level 161 → Level 169), all attribute points + 8192, free attribute points + 8192!"

"You picked up the Red-Blooded Old Turtle's drops—[High-Grade Spirit Stone + 10], [Early Stage Golden Core Realm Monster Core * 1]!"

"While spectating others Undergoing Tribulation, you were struck by Divine Lightning, successfully unlocking the achievement [You Are the Light, You Are the Point, You Are the Only Myth]. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Draw Count + 1]!"

"You successfully passed the Foundation Establishment Realm Lightning Tribulation, successfully unlocking the achievement [Strongest Lightning Tribulation, Nothing More]. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Draw Count + 1]!"

"You killed two evil great demons. Under the effect of [Gold - Infinite Karma], all the Karma you obtained was multiplied by one hundred, successfully unlocking the achievement [Karma Is With Me, Forging a Ten-Life Golden Body]. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Draw Count + 1]!"

As the tribulation clouds of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning dissipated.

Ten special golden halos carrying the power of Law descended from above onto Mu An.

In an instant, he felt the Realm within his body improve once again.

The level bar on his panel scrolled rapidly, soaring directly from level 169 to level 199, a full 30-level increase!

If he went one step further, he would reach the same Half-step Golden Core Realm cultivation as the Red-Blooded Old Turtle from before!

["Does that mean... I have to Undergo Tribulation again?"]

["But... didn't I just finish the Foundation Establishment Realm Lightning Tribulation?"]

This thought couldn't help but pop into Mu An's mind.

At the same time, a glowing, light purple liquid the size of a human head slowly descended in front of him, the spiritual power fluctuations contained within it were extremely powerful.

There was no need to think to know that this was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth!

Countless strands of golden light also came from all directions of heaven and earth, finally merging into his body.

His Soul felt as if it were bathing in a hot spring, warm and cozy, his spirit full, and his entire body was filled with endless strength.

"Is this the legendary... lightning tribulation spirit liquid and Karma bestowment?"

Mu An couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The only pity was that after the eighty-one bolts of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, the Golden Core Realm corpse of the Red-Blooded Old Turtle had been blasted to smithereens.

He didn't even have time to use [King of Eaters] to devour it.

But it was no big deal; let's just call it a 'reward' for the Red-Blooded Old Turtle helping him withstand the Heavenly Tribulation!

Well, it's just that it probably won't be able to collect this reward in this lifetime...

On the other side.

As witnesses to all of this, Xiao Qingzhu and the others were simply dumbfounded.

Originally, they were worried that after the Red-Blooded Old Turtle successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm, Mu An would face a tough battle.

As a result, the Lightning Tribulation had just dissipated before suddenly gathering again.

What was flashing and moving between the dark cloud layers was still the terrifying Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.

The most exaggerated thing was that the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, for some reason, kept chasing and striking the Red-Blooded Old Turtle.

It struck eighty-one times in a row!

One must know that Undergoing Tribulation is also divided into different grades.

Normally, every nine is a major hurdle; if one survives it, they can enjoy a one-star blessing from the Heavenly Dao.

Surviving eighty bolts of Divine Lightning is already a nine-star blessing.

The last bolt of Divine Lightning, the eighty-first, is a legend that only exists in ancient texts.

It is said that after surviving it, one can achieve 'perfection'!

For a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, that is the strongest 'Heavenly Dao Dao Foundation' in the world!

"Is this... Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?"

Xiao Qingzhu couldn't help but mutter to herself, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Seeing the Heavenly Dao descend ten special golden Law halos onto Mu An, how could she not understand that he had successfully Undergone Tribulation.

It's just that she didn't know why the one being struck was the Red-Blooded Old Turtle instead...?

Perhaps because it was... kind?

As a 'Senior' at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage who had experienced the Foundation Establishment Lightning Tribulation, Elder Ling naturally knew exactly what had happened to Mu An.

Putting aside the minor detail of why Mu An's Lightning Tribulation only came now despite him having Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

He had the honor of witnessing the birth of a peerless Prodigy with his own eyes!

One must know that it was the Heavenly Dao Dao Foundation that countless Cultivators dreamed of!

A one to three-star Dao Foundation is considered an ordinary Cultivator.

A four to six-star Dao Foundation is considered a one-in-ten-thousand Prodigy.

A seven to nine-star Dao Foundation is a Prodigy among Prodigies.

And a Cultivator who forges a Heavenly Dao Dao Foundation... is completely beyond evaluation!

Let's just say this: as long as such an existence does not fall midway, they will absolutely be the most dazzling star in the long river of history.

Leaving a name in history is a certainty.

They might even be able to suppress one or even several eras!

After witnessing Mu An's talent, Elder Ling, no matter how foolish he might be, knew that the 'problem' with Xiao Qingzhu was very likely solved by this man.

["The Ninth Princess has really found a good place to settle down this time!"]

["And also... I'm afraid the sky over the capital is about to change..."]

Amidst his thoughts, Elder Ling's gaze gradually became firm.

If he had been hesitant before, after experiencing this, he had completely become a supporter standing on Xiao Qingzhu's side.

As the saying goes.

Those who adapt to the times are wise.

He was just an ordinary 'one-star Dao Foundation' Cultivator.

Although he had currently reached the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, he knew in his heart that this was probably the limit of his life.

But if he followed Xiao Qingzhu, perhaps there would be a day when he could pursue a higher Realm!

"Do you recognize this thing?"

At this time, after briefly taking stock of his gains, Mu An had returned to the side of Xiao Qingzhu and the others, with that special liquid still floating in his hand.

"This is lightning tribulation spirit liquid."

"I heard it is a reward from the Heavenly Dao to Cultivators who have passed the Heavenly Tribulation; it has the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth and is extremely precious."

"Usually, it is priceless and unavailable; even a single drop is hard to find!"

"I once had the honor of seeing it at an auction; that time, a single drop of Lightning Tribulation liquid was auctioned off for the price of one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Xiao Qingzhu said with absolute certainty.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise; even she had not expected that one day she would be able to see so much of it.

Mu An was slightly surprised.

This thing is so valuable?

One drop can be auctioned for one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones?

Judging by the large mass of lightning tribulation spirit liquid currently in his hand, there were at least several thousand drops!

Converted into Top-Grade Spirit Stones, wouldn't that be hundreds of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones?

Before, he was still working himself to death for a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Now he had suddenly become rich overnight?

Even Mu An couldn't help but sigh.

["Undergoing Tribulation is good; this tribulation... must be undergone!"]

"I'll go back and test how effective this thing is. If there is extra, I will share some with you all."

Mu An smiled.

For him, today could truly be called a harvest full of rewards.

And compared to cultivating step-by-step, he relied entirely on 'cheating' to level up, so his obsession with using heaven and earth treasures was not as strong as other ordinary Cultivators.

He was also more willing to share his gains with 'his own people'.

After all, only when his employees are strong can he, the boss, better 'slack off'.

How does that saying go again?

If there is work, let the employees do it.

If there is no work...
