Chapter 84: and title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list

At this moment, Yang Tian Old Ancestor locked onto the direction of Sect Master Yang Hao and the others using his aura, and in an instant appeared beside him. His expression grave, he asked: "What on earth is happening? Why did Wu Ren suddenly break through on the spot? Could it be that the Floating Light Teaching or the Wan Hai Sect is behind this?"

He simply couldn't comprehend how a grandmaster who had broken through numerous cultivation limits and was nearly invincible could fail to control his own spiritual energy, causing it to erupt on the spot and shatter the bottleneck to achieve a breakthrough. This was utterly unfathomable; even a novice at the Foundation Establishment stage would hardly exhibit such a condition, so there must be a reason—hence he came to ask Yang Hao and the others for clarification.

"Greetings, Uncle‑Master." Yang Hao and the four others hastily clasped their hands in salute, then exchanged bewildered looks, each wearing a bitter smile.

"Grand‑Ancestor… if I tell you this, you'll probably find it hard to believe. Senior Brother Lin's breakthrough this time is likely directly related to Junior Uncle."

Yang Tian Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint chill flashing in his gaze as he looked at the four, his tone calm yet tinged with questioning: "Are you joking? My disciple is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment—how could he possibly be connected to the Venerable Tribulation? Are you sure you're not crazy? Or are you deliberately hiding something?"

Yang Tian Old Ancestor felt a smoldering anger rise in his heart; at this critical juncture, instead of hurriedly investigating the root cause, he was pushing the blame onto his own disciple. Moreover, Qin Yu is the future hope of the Xuanyang Sect—is what they're doing appropriate?

Wu Lao hurriedly explained upon seeing the situation: "Uncle‑Master, you don't know, but just yesterday… Junior Uncle deliberately jumped off a cliff and signed a contract with an ancient remnant species, thereby inviting a Heavenly Lightning Punishment. After a strange transformation, the Great Solar Nirvana Tribulation actually appeared—that is, the forbidden heavenly tribulation recorded in the ancient texts, and we were all present at the scene……"

Before he could finish, Yang Tian Old Ancestor reached out and interrupted, slapping a palm onto Wu Lao's head and shouting angrily: "You damned wretch, are you cursing my disciple? What bloody nonsense forbidden heavenly tribulation—if it truly appeared on my disciple, I'd wipe you out on the spot!"

How could such nonsense be spoken so casually? Know that from ancient times to the present, every appearance of a forbidden heavenly tribulation signifies the fall of an unparalleled monster. Moreover, in this era where the rules are incomplete and everyone's strength is weak, facing a tribulation of this level is practically a dead end with no hope of survival. Isn't this just pure babble?

Wu Lao covered his head, grimacing in pain, and said: "Uncle‑Master, please let me finish my story. Yesterday the Great Solar Nirvana Tribulation truly appeared—not only did we see it, but the Wan Hai Sect and the Floating Light Teaching also know about it; how could we dare deceive you? Not only did the tribulation lightning appear, but Junior Uncle successfully endured it, emerging unscathed, and it was that thundercloud that sent him back. Today Junior Uncle attempted to challenge the Leize Secret Realm with the strength of third‑level Foundation Establishment, charging straight to the sixth outer layer in one go, then directly summoned the Great Solar Nirvana Tribulation Spirit to aid his passage. Once the spirit appeared, it naturally triggered the tribulation; each of its strikes caused a surge of turbulent energy within Senior Brother Lin's body, and when he could no longer suppress it, he broke through his bottleneck and forced a breakthrough. If you don't believe me, simply summon the spirit of the Leize Secret Realm to ask—it's also privy to this matter. Moreover, Junior Uncle's whereabouts are now unknown, and even the secret realm's projection has been obscured."

Wu Lao summed up the events in a few words. Upon hearing it, Yang Tian Old Ancestor was stunned, thinking, "What kind of chaotic nonsense is this?" It felt like listening to a myth.

"Yesterday, when Qin Yu underwent his tribulation, did he encounter the Great Solar Nirvana Tribulation? And today, while breaking through, did he just happen to summon the Great Solar Nirvana Tribulation to help him resist the secret realm's lightning attacks? Do you think I'm a fool who'd believe such nonsense?" Yang Tian Old Ancestor's mouth twitched involuntarily; he felt these people were becoming less reliable with age. Even flipping through ancient texts, such matters have never been recorded. To manipulate a forbidden heavenly tribulation—what a terrifying concept! Do they really think they are the ones destined by Heaven? Even with an Azure Dragon's blessing, they might not manage this.

Immediately, Yang Tian Old Ancestor gathered a seal with his right hand, and a blurry figure gradually appeared before him—it was the Leize Zhiling.

"Huh? Yang Tian? You've finished your secluded cultivation?" the Leize Zhiling asked, seeing the arrival, puzzled.

"Tell me in detail what happened in the secret realm earlier." Yang Tian Old Ancestor said, suppressing the anger in his heart with a low voice.

The Leize Zhiling waved a hand and said: "No, I have important matters to attend to; the Lord is currently breaking through, and I must guard the Dao—I have no time to chat with you."

It thought to itself, Qin Yu has comprehended the light source and actually broken through directly into the Lightning Tribulation Dao Body—what a concept! If he could fully devour and absorb it, he might even have a chance to strike at the Saint Body! Not clinging to such a thigh, what else is there to talk about with you, old man?

Yang Tian Old Ancestor widened his eyes and said hesitantly: "I am the designated successor candidate of the Leize Secret Realm!"

After only a few days of closed‑door cultivation, how could the entire Xuanyang Sect feel so transformed, so unfamiliar that I barely recognize it?

The Leize Zhiling slightly lifted its eyelids and said with a hint of helplessness: "You're merely a candidate, but I am now serving the Lord. The secret realm has already acknowledged its master. Well, farewell."

As soon as the words fell, the Leize Zhiling's figure vanished instantly from the spot. Yang Tian Old Ancestor stood there, thrown into confusion by this sudden turn of events.

The Leize Secret Realm that the founding ancestor painstakingly retrieved after countless trials—could it really no longer belong to the Xuanyang Sect? Just gone like that? What on earth has happened these past few days?

Immediately, Yang Tian Old Ancestor organized his thoughts; according to what Yang Hao and the others said, at this moment only his disciple Qin Yu had entered the secret realm. So… that means the seemingly fantastical things they described are very likely all true! Even the Leize Secret Realm has already acknowledged Qin Yu as its master.

This is truly astonishing—does the Heaven‑Chosen Child's fortune really run this deep? He can even snatch away his master's opportunity? Originally Yang Tian Old Ancestor had planned to make a push, seize control of the Leize Secret Realm to extend his lifespan—this was one of his backup plans. Instead, he took on a disciple and ruined that chance.

Left with no choice, Yang Tian Old Ancestor could only accept this myth‑like fact, and also accept that his disciple, with third‑level Foundation Establishment strength, had traversed the Leize Secret Realm—an unbelievable feat. He then asked: "In other words, Qin Yu provoked the Nirvana Tribulation Spirit to charge through, which now… has caused Senior Brother Lin Wu Ren to face a Venerable Tribulation possibly controlled by the spirit? How did Lin Wu Ren become so unlucky?"

Wu Lao and the four others quickly nodded, thinking the Grand Ancestor finally believed them. Such a once‑in‑an‑eternity occurrence has befallen Lin Wu Ren—truly hard to say whether he's fortunate or unfortunate.

"Prepare the mountain‑protecting grand formation; you four, go mobilize a few elders. If Lin Wu Ren can't hold out later, join me in taking action! He absolutely must not come to harm. Otherwise… the situation will become extremely dire." Yang Tian Old Ancestor said, his head pounding helplessly.

His aura slowly condensed around him, ready to strike at a moment's notice. This disciple of his is truly a handful—practically driving his own grandnephew to a dead end. Although this isn't Qin Yu's intention, the situation has left us with no choice but to intervene forcefully, hoping we can turn things around.

Yang Tian Old Ancestor gazed toward the heavens and saw Lin Wu Ren's condition now utterly miserable—his hands like burnt charcoal, pitch black, lightning incessantly coiling around his body, continuously eroding his flesh. Essence blood kept seeping from within him, floating in the air before scattering downward. His aura had already begun to weaken. But… we've only just endured the second round of Heavenly Lightning Punishment, while the Venerable Tribulation consists of nine layers! How can he possibly withstand this?

………………

At this moment, inside the inner region of the Leize Secret Realm.

The Dao‑law light source flickered in and out of visibility, and Qin Yu's figure gradually became clear. He was continually absorbing the regulatory power within, yet… he never found the opportunity to break through to the Saint Body.

Time ticked by second after second; after a quarter hour, a notification appeared in Qin Yu's mind: 【Due to insufficient Dao‑law light source, only a half‑step Saint Body can be achieved for now, with a chance to break through later.】

As the light source fully merged into Qin Yu's body, his aura instantly turned violent, his spiritual energy surging like a raging tide through his meridians.

"Boom!" A dull thunderous roar erupted from within Qin Yu's body, and he officially reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. This was while he was constantly suppressing his realm; otherwise… this time he might have directly broken through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Of course, doing so would leave his foundation unstable and his realm seeming insubstantial.

Immediately, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes; a faint lightning gleam seemed to flicker in his pupils, and an aura of destruction spread forth, making one's heart pound.

Seeing this, the Leize Zhiling hurried forward and said: "Lord, have you completed your breakthrough? It's truly a pity—this Dao‑law light source is too scarce… it couldn't let you break through into the Lightning Dao Saint Body."

This Dao‑law light source is allocated according to realm; the amount given to Qin Yu from the Zhu Jing side is naturally small. The Leize Zhiling feels great regret over this.

However, it could clearly sense that Qin Yu's Lightning Dao physique was extraordinarily exceptional, faintly exerting a pressure upon it. The Leize Zhiling had witnessed many Lightning Dao physiques before, but never felt such a mighty oppression—this pressure was profoundly heavy.

Qin Yu said with a smile: "If there's another chance next time, we'll see then." For himself, this harvest was already quite abundant.

At that moment, the Leize Zhiling's eyes rolled about as it secretly schemed: Perhaps… I could calculate something against that Nirvana Tribulation Spirit, which might even boost my standing in Qin Yu's heart.

Immediately, it gave a light cough and said: "Um… Lord, it seems one of the elders from your sect was targeted by the Nirvana Tribulation Spirit while breaking through the Venerable Tribulation. Even Yang Tian Old Ancestor has ended his seclusion and come out, and the entire Xuanyang Sect has now entered a state of battle readiness."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's face filled with confusion: "???" What kind of situation is this? How could a sect elder be fighting the Nirvana Tribulation Spirit? And while breaking through the Venerable Tribulation at that? Could it be Wu Lao and the others?

Thinking of this, Qin Yu's expression changed abruptly, and he immediately prepared to leave the secret realm.

"I'll see you out." A flash of cunning flickered deep in the Leize Zhiling's eyes as it hurriedly spoke.

A faint light fell upon Qin Yu's body, and moments later his figure vanished from the spot.

Watching Qin Yu's departing direction, the Leize Zhiling's mouth curled up involuntarily, and it inwardly gloated: "Who made you act so arrogantly before? What's the tribulation spirit to it? After all, it's just too simple—whoever can occupy a higher place in the Lord's heart will have the greatest chance to master the Lightning Dao in the future! Who can summon heavenly blessings needs no guess—it's obvious who that is. I, too, am a Lightning Dao sentient being; I likewise have a future opportunity to control the Lightning Dao… and given that the tribulation spirit entered the secret realm with an arrogant attitude, now is the perfect time to lower its standing in the Lord's heart—why wait any longer?"
