Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing had just dug up a tree when a sudden tremor stirred his heart. He abruptly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the dense green mist of Qingdi Garden to see a cluster of multicolored clouds appearing above the Secret Realm.

The multicolored clouds were beautiful, yet they carried a chilling sense of crisis.

Xu Zhangqing suddenly realized: "These are Tribulation Clouds."

Ever since Senior Brother Zhu failed his tribulation and perished, he had investigated them.

Inferior Nascent Soul, known as Phantom Thunder Tribulation, consisting of nine gray phantom lightning bolts that trigger false illusions upon striking.

Superior Nascent Soul, known as Phantom Tribulation, consisting of twelve types of silver heavenly lightning capable of replicating various attacks.

Peerless Nascent Soul, known as Law Tribulation, consisting of fifteen layers of colorful thunder seas capable of triggering celestial phenomena.

From this, it could be seen that these colorful tribulation clouds represented a Peerless Nascent Soul, meaning up to fifteen layers of colorful thunder seas.

Strangely, the scale of the tribulation clouds was not large, far from covering the sky as expected.

Xu Zhangqing observed carefully and then realized that this was because they were being weakened by the restrictions of Qingdi Garden.

However, judging by the scale, the tribulation clouds were brewing bit by bit.

It was clear that even within Qingdi Garden, this tribulation could not be avoided and had to be faced.

Xu Zhangqing watched for a while, his expression gradually calming, and said to himself: "Since it's still brewing, let me search once more."

The tribulation clouds were blocked by the restrictions and would not fall in a short time, so he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he stored the large tree into his Personal Space, then turned and continued searching.

As he went deeper, the rarity of the spirit plants increased, some of which even Xu Zhangqing could not name, having vanished from the world for tens of thousands of years.

Afterwards, he stopped in an area covered with purple thunder patterns.

In the area, a golden Lingshen swayed in the wind, its root tendrils entwined with fine purple patterns, and a small red fruit at its peak emitted a strange fluctuation containing both life aura and the power of thunder.

A flash of joy crossed Xu Zhangqing's eyes as he recognized this ancient treasure: "Lei Mai Ling Shen!"

This spirit ginseng forms by absorbing wood spirit qi in a place abundant with thunder.

The fruit pulp contains the power of "Lei Mu Xin," which can protect the meridians during thunder tribulation, resist the erosion of thunder, and instantly repair the flesh body when injuries erupt.

Rarely, the "Thunder Fire Fruit" at the top, once consumed, increases thunder resistance in a short time—exactly what he needed most right now.

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Finally found it!"

In a place like Qingdi Garden, how could there not be similar spirit plants?

Immediately, he carefully stepped forward and dug up the Lei Mai Ling Shen.

As time passed, the tribulation clouds above the Secret Realm gradually took shape.

Though still weakened by the restrictions and not at their peak scale, that oppressive aura directly penetrated the mist, causing the area to tremble slightly, with faint signs of breaking through the restrictions.

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath: "It's about to begin."

He found a flat empty space and took out the Du Jie Resources from his Personal Space one by one, arranging them around him.

Precious energy surged, and rosy light shot into the sky.

Every single one was treasure prepared in advance by his clones.

Spiritual Arrays:

Five Elements Thunder Control Array, the Array Plate is round, engraved with Five Elements Eight Trigrams patterns, able to form five defensive walls of different attributes after activation: Metal Wall hard-resists, Wood Wall repairs, Water Wall cools, Fire Wall counterattacks, Earth Wall stabilizes, with the five powers circulating and flowing to weaken the power of thunder tribulation layer by layer.

Thunder Spirit Guidance Array, the Array Plate is diamond-shaped, engraved with thunder-guiding patterns, able to guide part of the thunder tribulation power underground after activation, converting it through the array to reduce direct impact, while the guided thunder power can also be fed back to enhance the array's protection.

The Spirit Zhenhun Array, its array plate square-shaped, inlaid with nine soul-stabilizing stones, and surrounded by tranquil-heart grass, upon activation releases a gentle soul-stabilizing force that protects the divine soul, prevents the thunder tribulation from provoking heart demons, and simultaneously isolates interference from the Wai Jie.

The Ten Thousand Trees Boundary Array, its array plate hexagonal, upon activation rapidly grows countless wood vines that form a sealed wood-spirit boundary; the vines interweave with each other, their surfaces covered in wood-spirit crystals, able to both resist the thunder tribulation's impact and continuously release wood-spirit qi to repair injuries.

Regarding magic treasures:

The Five-Colored Banner — the green flag governs defense, the red flag governs counterattack, the white flag governs purification, the black flag governs devouring, the yellow flag governs stabilization; the five flags interweave, forming a five-colored light curtain.

The Su Ge Shield: a mysterious black rhombus shield, neither metal nor wood, warm and smooth like jade to the touch; its surface bears countless minute vortices, as if breathing slowly.

This was privately refined by Tai Bai, counting as an unexpected joy.

Of course, just in case, Xu Zhangqing even engraved the core of the Skinning Technique — that is, the Lock Spirit Seal Soul Array — entirely into his own flesh and blood!
