Chapter 1811: Senior Brother, don't worry, he's very familiar with heavenly tribulation

Xu Jie already had cultivation at the perfected Saint Realm; breaking through would be a breakthrough of a major realm, with difficulty dozens of times that of a minor realm breakthrough.

So after sensing Xu Jie's surging spiritual power all around him, the Guo family disciples' first reaction was to have Zhao Zhengping and the others stand guard to assist Xu Jie's breakthrough.

But before everyone could finish speaking, at the very beginning, Zhao Zhengping and the others indeed lifted their heads and glanced at Xu Jie.

I thought they would immediately take up positions to guard Xu Jie the next second, but who would have thought that in the next second, Zhao Zhengping and the others all moved aside in unison.

Huh???

The words they were about to say got stuck in their throats; seeing Zhao Zhengping and the others' actions, the Guo family disciples were all a bit dazed.

What are you doing? It's a breakthrough—aren't you going to help, damn it?

One of the Guo family disciples couldn't help but speak up.

"He's about to break through."

"Hmm."

"Huh??? Then you're not going to help guard?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Xu Jie has good talent; it's fine."

"Good talent?" Hearing that reply, the Guo family disciples were all dazed—what kind of ridiculous excuse is this?

If it were just Zhao Zhengping and the others acting like that, it would be fine, but when their gaze turned to Xu Jie himself, the moment they saw him, the Guo family disciples were no longer merely dazed—they couldn't help but want to curse him out.

Damn it, your spiritual power is about to go out of control, and you're still eating?

Xu Jie seemed oblivious to his own problem, still there with his head down, eating heartily and enjoying himself.

This move left the Guo family disciples baffled—what does it mean? Aren't you afraid?

"Hey, stop eating—you're about to break through!"

"I... I know."

Moreover, facing the Guo family disciples' reminder, Xu Jie didn't even lift his head, his mouth still full of food, replying indistinctly.

Faced with Xu Jie's reply, the Guo family disciples' faces darkened even more.

"You know? You know you damn well aren't doing anything?"

The corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably—you're breaking through, you're not in a hurry, but we're the ones anxious here?

Is this the situation where the emperor isn't urgent but the eunuch is?

The Guo family disciples were also completely speechless; just then, heavenly tribulation arrived as expected above Xu Jie's head.

The thunder roared heaven-high, thunderclouds densely covered the sky, and bolts of heavenly thunder flickered faintly within the thick clouds.

Yet even though he was enveloped by the thunderclouds, Xu Jie paid it no heed at all.

"The heavenly tribulation has come."

"Hmm, I know."

You fucking..............

Even when the thunderclouds arrived, the Guo family disciples spoke up to warn him, but Xu Jie still didn't lift his head, giving a casual, indifferent reply.

Seeing Xu Jie's attitude, the Guo family disciples were straight-up dumbfounded.

Just as they were speaking, the first bolt of heavenly thunder struck immediately; seeing this, the Guo family disciples' expressions turned complex—what on earth is going on with these people?

Facing the heavenly tribulation, they don't even deign to give it a glance?

However, under the gaze of the Guo family disciples, all that could be seen was Xu Jie facing the heavenly thunder striking down.

Xu Jie made no movement at all from start to finish, and the thunderclouds precisely slammed a heavy strike onto him.

Lightning flashed, and the Guo family disciples stared wide-eyed—truly, from beginning to end, he didn't even shift his position an inch?

Just sitting there, he outright took the heavenly thunder head-on?

But as the thunderclouds dispersed, the next second, with Xu Jie's voice appearing again before everyone, the Guo family disciples were stunned in place.

Huh???

"How is that possible?"

"Did it miss?"

"Bullshit, I just saw the heavenly tribulation strike with my own eyes."

The heavenly tribulation didn't miss; the Guo family disciples all saw it clearly, with no room for doubt.

Yet Xu Jie, without lifting his head or making any movement, had just endured the heavenly tribulation head-on, and at this moment he was still stuffing his mouth with food.

Besides his robes being damaged by the heavenly thunder, his whole body seemed fine.

Seeing Xu Jie still eating heartily, the Guo family disciples were all at a loss for a moment.

Is there something wrong with this heavenly thunder?

They looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky—nothing wrong there either; its momentum and power were completely normal.

Back when they themselves underwent the Great Saint Realm heavenly tribulation, they had been extremely cautious, fully prepared.

But why, when it came to Xu Jie, was it just... this... like child's play?

Exactly, it was child's play—he didn't make a single move, yet he took the heavenly tribulation head-on; it defies common sense.

At that moment, under the bewildered gaze of the Guo family disciples, Zhao Zhengping had just swallowed a mouthful of food and casually said:

"Senior brothers, don't worry—we've grown accustomed to undergoing heavenly tribulation; we're very familiar with heavenly thunder."

Huh???

What kind of talk is this? Zhao Zhengping's words left the Guo family disciples utterly confused.

If you take each word individually, everyone knows what it means, but why, when combined into a full sentence, do they fail to understand it?

"What does being very familiar with heavenly tribulation even mean? Does it imply we aren't familiar with heavenly thunder, damn it?"

Logically, since they have higher cultivation and have endured more heavenly tribulations, they should be more familiar—so why does it sound like they don't understand at all?

The Guo family disciples naturally didn't know that when Zhao Zhengping said he was familiar with heavenly tribulation, he naturally wasn't referring to the tribulations he himself had undergone.

Back in the Haotu Shijie world, starting from facing the demon race's invasion, the usual means the Dao Yi Shengdi used against enemies, aside from setting traps and various nefarious tactics, had to rely on the power of heavenly thunder tribulation!

On the battlefield, the Dao Yi Shengdi's elders and stewards, those who could break through, instead suppressed their breakthrough, insisting on breaking through only on the battlefield.

Yet once on the battlefield, that heavenly thunder came crashing down, naturally indiscriminate of friend or foe.

Back then, during the repeated battles with the demon race, Zhao Zhengping and his crew—putting it bluntly—everyone had been struck by heavenly thunder.

Among the many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, if you haven't been struck by someone else's heavenly tribulation, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a disciple of Dao Yi Shengdi.

Moreover, what they basically faced were heavenly thunderbolts exceeding their own cultivation.

Facing such heavenly thunder, it was a near‑death situation; they used talisman seals, formations, and every means at their disposal, yet even with thorough preparation they could not escape a near‑death fate.

Even there were disciples who died beneath their own heavenly thunder.

But there was no choice; facing a demon race far stronger than the Dao Yi Shengdi of old, if you didn't resort to unorthodox tactics, what could you do? Going head‑on, the Dao Yi Shengdi obviously had no chance of victory.

So speaking of it, this heavenly thunder has rendered great service.

The true meaning of Zhao Zhengping's words is just that—he had long grown accustomed to the baptism of heavenly thunder.

They feared no one else's heavenly thunder, so what reason was there to fear their own? Thus, for the many veteran disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, undergoing the heavenly tribulation actually entailed little pressure.
