Chapter 140: Father Condenses the Elixir, Heavenly Tribulation?

This process lasted three days.

For three whole days, Father maintained a red state, his body completely red, as if on fire.

Chen Chuyang kept watching from the side, staring, never leaving, his Spiritual Sense monitoring Father's condition the whole time; if any accident occurred, Chen Chuyang would immediately act to suppress it, but there was none—Father's state was very calm, so calm it didn't seem like him, rather a calmness even greater than before.

Everything was also good; his essence, energy, and spirit were all improving, and the speed of improvement wasn't bad either.

This is also why Chen Chuyang never had to intervene; at a certain moment after three days, the Dragon Blood Pill's effect faded, having been completely absorbed by Father, his body gradually changed from red, bit by bit disappearing, then returning to its original state, with a layer of foul-smelling grime appearing on his body.

During the body tempering, his essence, energy, and spirit also rose; upon waking, Father immediately went to wash off the filth on his body—it was too stinky, he himself couldn't bear it.

After cleaning, Chen Chuyang checked once and said satisfiedly: "Not bad; his essence, energy, and spirit have all doubled. The Dragon Blood Pill's effect is indeed strong—if fully absorbed, it would be more than just double."

Much was wasted; the Dragon Blood Pill's medicinal effect is not limited to this.

Chen Chuyang stood aside, absorbing the spilled medicinal pills; Father's body is after all not Chen Chuyang's body—they are worlds apart, so the absorption effect, conversion efficiency, and various conditions are also……much worse.

With the same Dragon Blood Pill, if Chen Chuyang took it, the effect would be very strong.

"I also want to, but my body can't support it; being able to absorb part of the medicinal effect, I'm already quite satisfied."

"Son, I feel the heavenly tribulation calling me again—should I condense my inner elixir?"

Chen Yuan always remembered his son's words, not rashly condensing the inner elixir, nor acting recklessly.

"One should still listen to his son's words; the son would never harm him."

"I can no longer control it."

Chen Yuan exhaled a breath, expressing his discomfort.

His body has reached its limit; just a little more, and he will break through.

He can't hold on much longer—within a day, he might automatically advance.

The medicinal effect is too strong, making it……hard for him to suppress.

"Are you ready?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Hmm."

In his heart, he was very excited, finally having reached this step, but he quickly regained calm.

The more critical the moment, the more one must stay calm and respond with composure.

Neither sorrow nor joy; one must not……let emotions control oneself.

"Alright, follow me."

Longshe Shan is unsuitable for undergoing the tribulation, and cannot.

Those spiritual medicines must not be destroyed; the heavenly tribulation's power is too great—even a slight leakage would pose a huge threat to Longshe Shan.

I don't know what kind of heavenly tribulation Father will face, and I have no confidence.

Moreover, he doesn't want to attract those people to Longshe Shan; the secrets of Longshe Shan must not be exposed.

Heading toward the back of Longshe Shan, Chen Chuyang didn't want any mishaps on Longshe Shan, so he walked far; on a mountain peak, dense jungle concealed the two of them, and Chen Chuyang began setting up formations.

As much as possible to help Father conceal his aura, and also as much as possible to help him survive the heavenly tribulation.

The sky darkened.

Dark clouds covered the top.

After Chen Chuyang finished setting up the formation, he quickly left, staying far from the tribulation's range.

He raised his head and looked toward the sky.

"Dark clouds press down; the heavenly tribulation is coming."

"It seems Father really can't hold back this time and will condense the elixir—I don't know what quality of inner elixir he will manage to form."

"Hope it's not low-grade; medium-grade would be fine too, and if it's high-grade inner elixir, that would be even better."

Chen Chuyang still holds hope for his father.

This heavenly tribulation is quite a commotion, drawing not a few people.

Before the thunder even sounded, the pressure of the heavenly tribulation had already attracted many people's attention.

"Boom—"

"Heavenly tribulation, here it comes."

A bolt of lightning bombarded down, blasting that mountain peak; the surrounding trees were all obliterated.

Its power is great, very frightening.

On that mountain, no living beings remained.

Those creatures had fled in advance; under the heavenly tribulation, all things are destroyed.

After the first lightning passed, Chen Chuyang sensed the second lightning brewing, about to fall.

"Now is a good moment to comprehend thunder law."

One of Chen Chuyang's goals this time, besides protecting Father, is also to comprehend thunder law.

"Heavenly tribulation is the best time for comprehension."

Although the heavenly tribulation's light is terrifying, its momentum fearsome, that awful pressure makes it impossible for people to comprehend.

Chaotic heavenly tribulation itself is unsuitable for comprehension.

Chen Chuyang is different; the thunder law he comprehends is learned from the heavenly tribulation.

The scattered lightning qi were also gathered by Chen Chuyang, all absorbed by the Golden Core.

These are merely minor gains, not worth mentioning.

What he wants is the heavenly tribulation's power from above; the Primordial Chaos Bell surely likes it.

Having absorbed a heavenly tribulation, the Primordial Chaos Bell certainly likes that kind of tribulation and wishes to enhance its own power thereby.

"Don't rush; this isn't our heavenly tribulation, so don't act impulsively—wait until the tribulation passes, then let you absorb a wave."

After hearing Chen Chuyang's comfort, the Primordial Chaos Bell calmed down a bit.

Chen Chuyang was at a loss, the Hunyuan Bell is too hard to serve.

The Golden Core needs thunder, and the Hunyuan Bell does too.

On Longshe Shan, the aura of thunder is rarely seen; there are hardly any thunderstorms.

Another mountain.

A figure was hidden.

Zhuge Ruolan sensed the aura of the thunder tribulation and rushed over.

She didn't approach the thunder tribulation's range, but, like Chen Chuyang, hid within it, watching the person at its center.

"Who is that figure?"

"Head of the Chen Clan Chen Yuan— is he about to condense his Golden Core? He's really fast."

"This thunder tribulation is no pushover."

Zhuge Ruolan surveyed the surroundings, staying cautious.

Since Chen Yuan is crossing the tribulation, that man must also be nearby.

She despises Chen Chuyang and doesn't want to meet him.

Yet there remains a shadow in her heart.

The seals within her body and soul, she has tried to break but cannot.

At least, as she stands now, she can't break them; acting rashly would cause an explosion.

Having her life controlled by others makes Zhuge Ruolan very upset.

She dislikes the feeling, but... she can't strike Chen Chuyang; that man is too powerful.

"What is that aura?"

"That mountain spirit is still nearby; it seems it was drawn here too, now this gets interesting."

Zhuge Ruolan lowered her head to think, eyes flashing: "Why not let the mountain spirit take out Chen Chuyang?"

"If he dies, the seals in my body would naturally..."

If the master dies and no one else knows, she could be freed.

"What if those seals explode?"

Who knows if that Chen Chuyang will go mad before death; if he kills her, wouldn't that be—

Thinking that, Zhuge Ruolan broke into a sweat.

She doesn't dare gamble, nor to do such a thing; that Chen Chuyang can do anything.

"If he's nearby, no one can stop Chen Yuan's Advancement."

"But I can just watch the show without getting involved."

Zhuge Ruolan wants to see whether those mortal rivals, when facing Chen Chuyang, will be harshly taught a lesson.

Especially the mountain spirit and those hidden ones— it'd be best if they were all killed, so no one would contest her for that thing.
