Chapter 68

It is said that, when the selection of the Dao Lineage Mountain Gate began at first, the patriarch discovered this place, where ancient living beings are buried, as if waiting for them to break out of the earth—unexpectedly… this actually is true.

This Little Red Bird is of extremely high grade; as an ordinary primeval relic species, upon reaching adulthood it can easily attain the Venerable Realm.

Indeed, he is the fated one blessed by heaven and earth; it turns out he knew there was a primeval demon beast at the bottom of the cliff, which is why he chose to jump off the cliff…

Sect Leader Yang Hao and Elder Qi Tai, along with several other elders, were all stunned to the point of staring wide-eyed.

Qin Yu jumped down from Profound Yang Peak without a scratch, which would have been enough, but then a legendary primeval relic species appeared, leaving them feeling extremely shocked, unable to describe the scene in words, and moreover filled with envy.

Judging by Qin Yu's growth speed, he constantly breaks his limits, his ambition surely immense. But now, even if he stops striving, as long as he waits for this primeval relic species to grow, he will possess a Venerable Realm ferocious beast free to roam the entire Canglan Yu—such luck is too good.

Qin Yu also showed a bitter smile on his face, without further explanation: "I just felt a mysterious power beneath the cliff pulling me, so I jumped straight down; I never expected to be able to sign a contract with a ferocious beast."

As soon as his words fell, layers of dark clouds gathered above the firmament, and thunder rumbled. "Boom—!" Silver-white lightning snakes writhed and weaved through the clouds, deafening, and right above the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing this, Yang Hao and the others furrowed their brows slightly: "Legend says that a contract between humanity and a primeval relic species is intolerable to heaven and earth, inviting heavenly tribulation—unexpectedly, it's true. But for you, it should be nothing. After all, the power that heavenly tribulation can mobilize is the ultimate power of a tribulation-crossing cultivator's realm; a Foundation Establishment first-level heavenly tribulation is nothing for you." Everyone was very confident, because Qin Yu, even at Foundation Establishment first level, already possessed tens of thousands of catties of physical strength, and even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator could not reach that level, so to them this so-called heavenly tribulation was merely a formality.

"Boom—!" At this moment, the thunder sounded again; within the thunderclouds, a phantom great sun slowly appeared, its destructive aura seeming to obliterate heaven and earth, extremely terrifying. "This… the heavenly tribulation has changed; why is there a great sun? Even I feel my heart palpitate." Qi Tai hurriedly spoke, his heart trembling. This heavenly tribulation clearly underwent an anomaly.

"Retreat, retreat quickly! Clear the area within a kilometer, allowing no one to interfere with the tribulation." Yang Hao suddenly spoke, his figure retreating violently, not daring to pause even a bit. For if any other cultivator were within the range, the heavenly tribulation's power would also increase; if they were here, Qin Yu would certainly be annihilated on the spot. And the weakest among them are Heavenly Origin Masters.

Elder Wu and the others had already appeared outside the cliff, speaking in a low voice: "I have seen in ancient texts some records stating that those truly peerless monsters, when heavenly tribulation appears, are different from ordinary people. Because heaven and earth regard living beings as straw dogs, they naturally do not allow powerful beings to rise. Clearly, this heavenly tribulation sensed Qin Yu's extraordinariness, underwent an anomaly and evolved… it is extremely similar to the Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation recorded in the ancient texts. A great sun shining upon heaven and earth, this is the Ninety-Seventh Great Sun Nirvana Tribulation. Ten thousand years ago, there was once an invincible Venerable who sought to break through and prove the Dao for longevity. But his talents were extraordinary, with an innate Dao body and heavenly-endowed aptitude; ultimately, when undergoing tribulation, he provoked the Great Sun Nirvana Tribulation, his body perished and his Dao vanished, unable to struggle."

Elder Wu's words caused the sect leader and others to pause slightly. From a side view, Qin Yu's talent is envied by heaven and earth, and adding that he signed a contract with a primeval relic species caused the heavenly tribulation to evolve into a Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation. But… damn it, even an invincible Venerable once suffered defeat—can Qin Yu possibly succeed in passing through it?

"Damn, if I had known earlier I would have given Qin Yu the healing pills and some protective formations; now… there might be trouble." Li Haoran said with a grim expression. Qin Yu is currently the hope of the Profound Yang Sect; if he truly perishes here, they will all regret it immensely.

At this moment, Lin Xue also came from Profound Yang Peak to the bottom of the cliff, moving her jade feet, walking to stand beside several elders. Seeing that the Junior Uncle had no serious injury, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Junior Uncle, a fortunate person naturally bears a heavenly appearance; even falling from Profound Yang Peak left him unharmed. Master… why are you stopping here?" A hint of incomprehension flickered across Lin Xue's exquisite face. Yang Hao briefly explained in a few words. Lin Xue's beautiful eyes trembled—Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation… wiping out all living beings, this is too shocking. The Junior Uncle is only at Foundation Establishment first level; how could he provoke such heavenly tribulation? Immediately, she hurriedly sent a mental transmission informing Qin Yu inside.

Qin Yu: "???" What the hell, Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation? He was a bit dazed. This isn't a top-tier opportunity, so why did it attract the Great Sun Nirvana Tribulation? It seems… I can only rely on the netizens on the forum. He then immediately uploaded the earlier video of his cliff jump, using his spiritual sense from his mind directly to the forum: "Thanks for the advice, fellow Daoists. I jumped from the sect's highest peak and received the Phoenix's acknowledgment as master. However… because in this world, humanity and divine beasts cannot form contracts, which would provoke heaven and earth's displeasure, a heavenly tribulation has arisen. Moreover… this heavenly tribulation has evolved; fellow Daoists, what do you think I should do?"

At this moment, the many netizens following the post, after watching that video, all fell into silence. Furthermore, at the end of the clip, there was a Little Red Bird; even though viewed through the recording, it made people feel their hearts race, as if they were truly facing a divine beast.

Cloud Hall: "Holy shit, we were just bragging, and you actually came to play for real? You really jumped? You can't even see the bottom of the cliff at a glance, yet you're still alive and able to send us a video? Are you crazy?"

Primordial Spirit Activation: "Holy shit, the OP is fierce, even snagged a Phoenix, what a damn Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation—just go head-to-head, with a Phoenix by your side, what are you afraid of? Moreover, according to your stated setting, which is just your current realm's limit, with Heaven's Mandate bestowed, the tribulation might not even dare to move you."

In just a moment, a prompt appeared in his mind.

【You received ordinary advice: to go head-to-head against the Great Sun Nirvana Tribulation, strengthen your physical body, gain Heaven's Mandate bestowed; even if the tribulation spirits personally arrive, they wouldn't dare to deal you a fatal blow.】

【Accept?】

"Accepted!" Qin Yu's eyes lit up—Heaven's Mandate bestowed? Pfft, nothing to fear. Moreover, using the Forbidden Heavenly Tribulation to temper his physical body might directly allow him to break through his limit again!
