Chapter 1143: Where's the Heavenly Tribulation?

We'll retreat first, guarding the surroundings.

After Qi Xiong finished speaking, everyone quickly scattered, surrounding Ye Zhangqing in the middle.

A host of Great Emperor elders guarded Ye Zhangqing during the tribulation; this tribulation crossing was truly impressive.

Looking at the elders' expressions, they seemed even more nervous than Ye Zhangqing.

Even the elders had already decided in their hearts that, if Ye Zhangqing encountered any danger, they would endure injury and forcibly block the tribulation for him.

Ye Zhangqing was also undergoing his first tribulation; he had watched others pass through before, but since it wasn't himself and the tribulation wasn't locked onto him, he felt no pressure.

This time, now that it was his turn, Ye Zhangqing secretly felt some anticipation.

On the contrary, he wasn't worried about any problems; all along his foundation had been extremely solid.

Don't be fooled by how quickly he broke through; sometimes he'd break through just by taking a sip of water.

But his foundation was extraordinarily stable; given his background, facing a Saint Realm tribulation should pose no problem at all.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Ye Zhangqing's head, waiting for the tribulation to appear.

Just waiting and waiting, Qi Xiong and the others began to frown slightly.

Where's the tribulation?

Maybe the time hasn't come yet.

What nonsense, Little Ye's realm has stabilized; the time has already passed.

Normally, the tribulation appears right when one breaks through, before the cultivation realm stabilizes; but now, Ye Zhangqing's cultivation has steadily settled at the entry of the Saint Realm.

Moreover, that violent spiritual energy had long since calmed down; this damn thing shows the breakthrough is already complete, so where's the tribulation?

Damn, where is that huge Saint Realm tribulation? Why hasn't it come?

The elders were somewhat doubtful; surely, whenever one breaks through the Saint Realm, a tribulation must fall—so why isn't there one?

The elders remained doubtful, yet they dared not act rashly.

They worried that if they got close, once the tribulation appeared, it would cause trouble.

If the tribulation locked onto them then, it wouldn't be a Saint Realm tribulation but a Great Emperor tribulation.

So the elders could only stand by and watch.

Even Ye Zhangqing himself was doubtful; he'd forgotten about the breakthrough—where's my tribulation?

This makes no sense; every Saint should have a tribulation when they break through.

Some boredly sat in place, yet an hour passed, two hours passed, and still no tribulation appeared.

What's going on with the tribulation?

I don't know; maybe there's no tribulation in the ancestral land.

How could that be? Before, people have broken through in the ancestral land, even Great Emperor tribulations occurred, so how could a Saint Realm tribulation be missing?

Where's the tribulation?

Go ask the Heavenly Dao; why ask me? I don't know.

The tribulation long failed to appear, and everyone gradually became dazed; this breakthrough is somewhat strange, isn't it?

At this point, bored, Ye Zhangqing absentmindedly checked his system.

At that moment, beneath the system's breakthrough notification, Ye Zhangqing suddenly saw a line of small text.

【Detected host's cultivation breakthrough.】

【Note: The host's Saint Realm tribulation has been blocked.】

Huh???

Damn this dog system, you have a note but you didn't make it noticeable; such tiny text, who the hell would notice?

Before, Ye Zhangqing only saw the breakthrough info above; he never noticed this line of small text below.

Holy shit, this dog system blocked the tribulation; it should have said so earlier—I've been sitting here uselessly for over two hours.

Certain that there would be no tribulation, Ye Zhangqing stood up.

Kid, don't move, wait for the tribulation.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong and the others anxiously said; in response, Ye Zhangqing replied nonchalantly.

No tribulation anymore.

The system gave the notice, yet still a tribulation?

Huh???

Just hearing this, the elders became somewhat doubtful; no tribulation? Why? Was the tribulation eaten?

The elders had never encountered such a thing, but now over two hours have passed, and indeed there's no sign of a tribulation appearing.

Watching the sky show no change at all, the elders fell silent.

Why does this kid have no tribulation upon breaking through? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is reluctant to strike him?

Doubts aside, after so long with nothing, the elders didn't know how to explain it.

Finally, seeing that they could never wait for the tribulation, the elders could only helplessly bring Ye Zhangqing back to the ancestral land.

However, along the way they were extremely careful.

Even after returning to the ancestral land, the elders still dared not relax.

But after a night passed, the tribulation still hadn't appeared; the elders, speechless, basically concluded it was impossible for a tribulation to occur.

It's been a day and a night; even if the tribulation got lost, it should have arrived by now.

Since it still hasn't come, this proves it likely won't appear.

But breaking through the Saint Realm without a tribulation—this really is strange.

After personally examining Ye Zhangqing's body, his cultivation was fine; he truly had entered the Saint Realm, his foundation was solid with no issues, his body was otherwise excellent, so Ye Zhangqing is now a genuine Saint.

But, damn, he didn't even undergo the tribulation—how the hell did he become a Saint?

Couldn't figure it out, but Ye Zhangqing was fine, so all the old ancestors still breathed a sigh of relief.

After breaking through to the Shèngjìng, Ye Zhangqing also felt his strength increase greatly, and even his body felt like two completely different sensations.

Is this the so-called Saint's holy body?

Breaking through from the Heavenly Human Realm to a Saint is absolutely a fundamental change.

Just like a Cultivation: Great Saint breaking through to a Great Emperor.

Only by becoming a Saint does one truly enter the ranks of the strong; beneath Saints are all ants, and this saying is not baseless.

I thought that after breaking through to Saint, I should at least be able to exchange a few moves with this demoness Chìrǎo.

So, when facing this demoness Chìrǎo's night raid again, Ye Zhangqing hesitated not at all and directly fought her for three hundred rounds.

I originally thought we were evenly matched, but the next day, Ye Zhangqing, who again struggled out of the door, complained wildly in his heart.

Damn, this woman is really brave; the Shèngjìng is useless.

Do I really have to become a Great Emperor to be able to handle this woman?

Although I broke through to the Shèngjìng, before this woman I still have no choice but to surrender.

Once again feeling his body drained, this sense of powerlessness, Ye Zhangqing hated it deeply, feeling utterly useless.

"Holy shit, Brother Zhangqing, when others break through to the Shèngjìng they glow red all over, but you, after breaking through, actually regressed?"

Sun Ming saw Ye Zhangqing walk out of the room and was startled; what the hell are you doing?

I......... ah, I won't say it............

Talking more just brings tears; this Shèngjìng breakthrough feels like no breakthrough at all—pfft, trash, can't even handle two Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm women.

Sitting weakly beside Sun Ming, Sun Ming consciously produced an egg, and Ye Zhangqing, seeing that, didn't hesitate and ate it in one bite.

This is a normal elixir with no side effects, but this thing isn't potent either; Ye Zhangqing is considering whether to get a more potent one.
