Chapter 195: It Hurts Too Much! 1

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Normally speaking, Core Formation Stage cultivators rarely encountered heavenly tribulations.

It was only possible to trigger the appearance of the heavenly tribulation when the quality of a cultivator’s golden core was too high.

This was unrelated to the cultivator’s own merit and the method the cultivator used to form the core.

It only concerned the quality of the golden core.

The higher the quality of the golden core, the stronger the heavenly tribulation triggered would be.

For example, Lu Yuan’s golden core that was formed by merging nine Foundation Establishment spiritual roots would trigger the most powerful Core Formation Stage heavenly tribulation.

A spiritual root would result in nine heavenly tribulations.

Nine spiritual roots meant 81 heavenly tribulations!

The number of spiritual roots determined the number of heavenly tribulations.

The quality of the spiritual root determined the latter’s power.

Therefore, not only did Lu Yuan encounter the most number of Core Formation Stage heavenly tribulations, but they were all of the most powerful level.

Heavenly tribulations of this scale were almost as powerful as an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage heavenly tribulation.

In terms of the heavenly tribulation, the heavens clearly treated everyone equally.

It did not go easy on Lu Yuan just because of his good performance.

Lu Yuan had also made a lot of preparations in advance.

He naturally knew that his tribulation would not be a walk in the park.

Therefore, for this day, Lu Yuan had taken out almost all his trump cards.

As long as he could survive this tribulation, he would completely transform and become an unprecedented Core Formation Stage cultivator with nine spiritual roots formed through the way of the heavens.

Lu Yuan stood on the mountain peak and looked at the rumbling thunderclouds above him.

At this moment, ordinary cultivators would either be so afraid that they would curse at the heavens, or they would be so nervous that they would scramble to make all sorts of preparations.

However, Lu Yuan’s current expression was very calm.

He was so calm that it was as if he was not transcending the tribulation.

Instead, it was as though he was visiting a friend’s house.

Several thousand feet high in the sky, the gray-black tribulation clouds began to churn continuously. It was obvious that they were accumulating power.

Many strange phenomena began to appear in the tribulation clouds.

Among these phenomena, there were layers of verdant mountain peaks.

There was a tower that towered into the clouds.

There were surging waves.

There’s a raging fire.

There was also the Night Parade of 100 Demons and divine warriors lining up in the sky.

These phenomena could be divided into nine categories.

They happened to cover all the attributes of Lu Yuan’s spiritual roots.

After these phenomena appeared, the pagoda that symbolized the metal attribute spiritual root began to slowly descend.

Lu Yuan looked at the tribulation cloud that was filled with lightning and knew that his tribulation had started.

He looked at the sky above his head and tidied his Daoist robe.

Then, many Paper Men flew out of his storage bag.

After these Paper Men appeared, they carried a scroll of prayers and came before Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and bowed to the sky.

Lu Yuan learnt this action from ancient documents.

It symbolized respect for the heavens.

Others might not fancy such a ritual, but not Lu Yuan.

He would not let go of any opportunity to curry favor with the heavens.

He was different from those rebellious cultivators outside.

He was a good son of the heavens, and he was especially filial.

After Lu Yuan finished bowing, he read the prayer in front of him out loud solemnly.

“Heavens above, it’s the heavens’ blessing that I, Lu Yuan, disciple of the Qingyun Sect, has such a heavenly tribulation today.”

“As the old saying goes, before heaven bestows a great responsibility to someone, it first makes his mind endure suffering, exhausts his muscles and bones, starves and empties his body, and tests his actions. The goal of heaven is to train his endurance and equip him with skills that he previously lacked.”

“Although we cultivators have cultivation, this is a gift from the heavens and is not our private property.”

“The so-called heavenly tribulation is a test given to us cultivators by the heavens. It looks like a tribulation, but it’s actually an opportunity.”

“If I am unable to successfully transcend this tribulation today, I will not be able to bear the weight of the heavens.”

“If I am lucky enough to pass the tribulation, it will be by the mercy of the heavens and my luck.”

“I am here to thank the heavens for this opportunity.”

If anyone was around to hear this, they would definitely be speechless from shock.

This was because Lu Yuan’s words described the heavenly tribulation that other cultivators regarded as a ferocious beast as an opportunity that the heavens had bestowed.

How could he say such shameless words?

That’s right. He was openly flattering the heavens. So what?

In the end, they were all bootlickers. Some people bootlicked goddesses, while Lu Yuan bootlicked the heavens. How could this be the same?

Even if everyone was a bootlicker, Lu Yuan felt that he was the one with the most awareness among the bootlickers.

After all, simping the heavens required skills. Even if ordinary people wanted to do so, they could not.

After Lu Yuan finished his flattering words, he felt that the tribulation cloud above his head seemed to have paused for a moment. He was unsure whether he was just imagining things.

However, this so-called pause seemed to be an illusion.

There was no change to the power or the number of lightning tribulations in the heavenly tribulation.

Before long, the metal-attribute tribulation cloud had already arrived above Lu Yuan’s head.

The tribulation cloud rumbled, and countless lightning bolts began to leap.

Some electric arcs began to appear in the surrounding air.

The Daoist robe on Lu Yuan’s body even produced a weak electric current.

Facing the heavenly tribulation above his head, Lu Yuan began to slowly fly up and took the initiative to meet it.

When he rose to a certain height, the lightning tribulation descended.

Boom!

A thick, pale golden lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky.

This lightning bolt was like a lightning golden dragon, flying directly towards Lu Yuan’s location.

In the next second, Lu Yuan was enveloped by lightning..
