Chapter 247: Chasing After the Heavenly Tribulation to Feed! Mastering Tribulation Lightning!

As the ninth bolt of Tribulation Lightning fell, the sound of thunder gradually faded away.

Light rain began to fall, and Gu Changge was seated cross-legged on the mountainside, letting the rain wash over his body.

He could feel that after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation, he had gained considerable benefits!

The Heavenly Tribulation Origin had made his body even more tenacious.

At this moment, he even doubted that anyone of the same realm could breach his defenses standing there, as long as they didn’t use a Heavenly Rank Magical Treasure!

But that wasn’t the most crucial point.

The most important thing was that he vaguely felt he had grasped a wisp of the Power of Laws.

It was just a little short, the feeling very faint…

But now the Tribulation Cloud was about to dissipate.

“No, I can’t let this opportunity pass. The next chance might not come anytime soon!”

Gu Changge abruptly opened his eyes and made a move that almost made the Gu Family Ancestor cry out in shock.

He turned into a blur and shot straight into the sky,

Heading toward the dissolving Tribulation Cloud!

The Little Golden Man inside him had already benefited from absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation Origin, not only restoring his body to its original state but also strengthening it a lot.

At this moment, he was without a single injury!

His movements were incredibly fast!

“He’s insane… insane…”

“This Northern Domain is too crazy!”

“Does this young one of yours have a death wish?”

“He survived the Tribulation but now he’s rushing into the Tribulation Cloud on his own volition!”

At this moment, the Red Robe Sage was a mess, his eyes full of doubt!

He even doubted his own understanding of the world!

A cultivator of the fifth grade triggering a Heavenly Tribulation?

Absorbing Heavenly Tribulation?

Now that the Heavenly Tribulation is over, aren’t you willing to let it go, and still rush into the Tribulation Cloud!?

What kind of madman is this? Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“…”

The Gu Family Ancestor’s eyelids twitched violently, but he believed this youngster wasn’t someone who sought death deliberately.

He forcefully suppressed the urge to shout out in alarm.

“What is he trying to do!?”

Dongfang Mingyue had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guy had actually survived the Heavenly Tribulation.

Such a person deserved to be her rival!

But now what?

What did she see?

Did that fellow not want to let go of the Heavenly Tribulation?

Under the astonished gazes of the three onlookers,

Gu Changge’s figure had already plunged into the Tribulation Cloud.

Though the Lightning Tribulation had ended, the Tribulation Cloud still contained huge amounts of Heavenly Tribulation Origin power.

With arcs of electricity flashing, terrifying heavenly might manifested, inducing an instinctive fear in cultivators.

Yet, after the absorption just before, Gu Changge no longer had the initial fear of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Instead, he looked at the Tribulation Lightning within the Tribulation Cloud with avaricious eyes!

As his figure disappeared into the cloud,

Countless arcs struck toward him, and Gu Changge only felt a tingling sensation!

Having absorbed the Heavenly Tribulation Origin, he had developed a certain resistance to the Tribulation Lightning!

It was nothing like the start, where just one bolt of Tribulation Lightning nearly caused him to lose control of his arms!

“Refine for me!”

Gu Changge sat cross-legged, directly starting to rotate his Cultivation Technique within the Tribulation Cloud.

The Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus spun rapidly, absorbing the origin power from the Heavenly Tribulation into his body!

Because of the uniqueness of the Tribulation Cloud, his Divine Soul could not sense the shocked expressions of the people outside at this moment.

However, Gu Changge’s situation was equally unclear to others.

They could only see a faintly discernible figure, sitting cross-legged within the Tribulation Cloud, attracting countless bolts of Tribulation Lightning to refine!

This stunning scene indeed dumbfounded the three of them!

Since the Heavenly Tribulation had already ended, the cloud was dissipating very quickly.

Gu Changge, observing the situation, always felt that the wisp of the Law he had grasped was still lacking something!

He couldn’t bear it any longer!

Since he couldn’t see the outside from within his Sacred Body, he assumed those outside couldn’t see inside the Tribulation Cloud either!

With a bold heart, he immediately used his Sacred Body’s Talent of Innate Divine Ability.

Fatian Xiangdi!

However, he still controlled the size of the Dharma Form, making it just three times larger than himself.

Suddenly, the arena of his Qi Sea, the Little Golden Man who was seated there, appeared around him, enveloping him entirely.

Refining through Cultivation Technique was too slow!

Upon displaying the Dharma Form, he began to reach out to attract bolts of Tribulation Lightning from near his position,

Stuffing them into his mouth!

“Eating… started eating?”

The Red Robe Sage’s eyelids twitched, his eyes somewhat dull.

Is this a Heavenly Tribulation or a feast?

Not satisfied with just refining it, but directly eating it?

Although obscured by the Tribulation Cloud, they couldn’t clearly see, but they could make out the blurred figure.

Gu Changge was continually grabbing handfuls of Tribulation Lightning from within the cloud and stuffing them into his mouth.

Moments later,

As the Tribulation Cloud was nearly dissipated,

Gu Changge promptly dispersed his Dharma Form.

But at this moment, he had achieved his aim!

With a wave of his hand, a Thunderball appeared in his palm, suspended, with electricity crackling around it, emanating an aura identical to Tribulation Lightning!

Any cultivator upon seeing this object, regardless of their Realm, would have to think twice before daring to confront it!

After all, it was Tribulation Lightning, carrying an aura that could destroy everything, instilling fear in those who beheld it!

Gu Changge casually dispersed the ball of Tribulation Lightning in his hand, then allowed himself a satisfied smile.

As the Tribulation Cloud vanished, he also took out a set of clothes from his Space Ring and casually donned them.

Under the force of the Heavenly Tribulation just before, his clothes had all but turned to ash!

Even the Space Ring was now slightly affected in its spirituality.

But for other cultivators, it might take some time to slowly dispel the residual power of the Heavenly Tribulation with Spiritual Energy.

But for him…

He only needed a thought, and he could directly absorb the residual power of the Tribulation!

This bit of residual was not even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth for him, it was even less than the random bite he had taken just now!

When the Heavenly Tribulation had completely dissipated, only ordinary dark clouds remained in the sky.

As the light rain sprinkled, Gu Changge stood above the mountain, yet the rain could not touch him at all, as the spiritual energy repelled it and made it slide away.

At this moment, he was simply wearing a long robe, his hair tie had been destroyed by the earlier Heavenly Tribulation, and his black hair hung down to his waist.

From a distance, Dongfang Mingyue was momentarily dazed.

“How did I never notice that this guy was so handsome…”

“Hmm?”

She suddenly felt him looking in her direction.

She simply turned around and transformed into a tunneling light to leave.

But in her heart, anticipation also arose!

His strength was far more formidable than she had imagined!

Even the feats he accomplished, those so-called prodigies of the Central State couldn’t have managed!

Next time she challenged him, she would not suppress her strength, to see if he dared to accept her challenge!

But to tell the truth, although she was now in the late stages of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, she couldn’t confidently say she could definitely beat Gu Changge!

The scene from just before was exceedingly astonishing.

It completely defied common sense!

Besides Gu Changge, there was simply no one else in the world who could achieve such a feat!

“It seems that the Northern Domain is indeed barren, but there will still be true geniuses born here!”

On her way back to the city, Dongfang Mingyue could not help but admit that her prior perspective had been too narrow.

…

“Daoist Fellow, if the Gu Family wishes to enter Central State in the future.”

“My Dongfang Family is willing to help.”

The Red Robe Sage looked at that figure, although only in the late stages of the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, he could feel how boundlessly promising his future was!

He even felt that the Gu Family would definitely enter Central State because of this youngster!

He directly bowed to the Gu Family Ancestor, planning to build a good relationship in advance.

“Thank you, Daoist Fellow.”

“However, I have an inappropriate request…”

“Regarding today’s event, I hope you can keep it somewhat confidential.”

Gu Haitang looked at the youngster, safe and sound, and completely relieved, smiling as he made a gesture of thanks to the Red Robe Sage.

He knew of the Dongfang Family of Central State.

It was one of the top-tier families of Central State, and although not comparable to the Holy Land, it was one of the oldest inheritances among many families.

It was said that an Immortal had also emerged from their ancestors.

Moreover, the Dongfang Family’s relationship with one of the Four Great Sacred Lands, the Sword Sect, was also very close.

It seemed because the Immortal from the Dongfang Family came from the Sword Sect.

Specific details, Gu Haitang did not know too much.

“As for today’s matter…”

“Even if I were to spread it back to Central State, I fear no one would believe it.”

The Red Robe Sage paused for a moment and said with a wry smile.

Even he, having witnessed it with his eyes, still felt like it was all a dream, unable to believe it was true.

Let alone the message getting back to Central State, who would believe that someone in the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm could induce a Heavenly Tribulation and then also devour it?

“Don’t worry, I won’t reveal too much about him until this youngster heads to Central State.”

“As for your Gu Family… never mind.”

“I bid you farewell.”

“I suppose in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet with you, Daoist Fellow.”

The Red Robe Sage intended to inquire about what exactly was going on with the Gu Family.

This youngster refining his body for eighteen years was one thing, but inducing a Heavenly Tribulation to refine his body today?

But such a matter, even if he asked, the Gu Family Ancestor certainly wouldn’t tell.

After bowing, he then vanished, following after the young lady Ming Yue.

Seeing this, the Gu Family Ancestor also directly appeared in front of Gu Changge.

Looking at his unharmed appearance, he couldn’t help but praise, “My boy, you always bring surprises to this old man.”

“Not…”

“Accurately speaking, this time it’s not a surprise.”

“It’s a fright…”

Hearing this, Gu Changge chuckled awkwardly, “It was just luck, I was almost struck dead by that damn Heavenly Tribulation.”

“You talk like this, not afraid of being struck by lightning as divine retribution…”

“Never mind, you probably can’t wait to be struck by Heavenly Thunder.”

“The Heavenly Tribulation had clearly ended, and yet you were about to charge into the Tribulation Clouds…”

The Ancestor’s eyelids twitched, intending to remind the young man to be careful with his words, but remembering the earlier scene, he again smiled wryly, it seemed unnecessary to worry about this.

During their conversation, the Ancestor waved his hand and they were back within the heavily-arrayed Gu Family’s Back Mountain.

Unable to resist his curiosity, he asked, “You must have gained tremendous benefits, right?”

Devouring so much of the Heavenly Tribulation Origin, the benefits must have been considerable, otherwise, this young man wouldn’t have risked it all in the end!

No one had ever done this before, the Gu Family Ancestor was also very curious about what benefits this young man had received!

“I suppose so.”

“My body was refined quite a bit by the Tribulation Lightning.”

“Now, fighting someone of the same realm, I guess no one could break my defense…”

Gu Changge nodded slightly as he said.

Hearing him say that, the Gu Family Ancestor couldn’t help but show an envious look.

With this progression, to already be invincible in the same realm, what more could he achieve in the future?

But Gu Changge had not finished speaking!

“Besides…”

Saying this, he directly raised his hand and condensed a ball of Tribulation Lightning in his palm!

“Holy moly…”

The Gu Family Ancestor’s eyes bulged, nearly unable to restrain himself from cursing.

A body comparable to a magic treasure, invincible defense in the same realm was already outrageous!

But this damned handling of Tribulation Lightning was just too much!

Looking at the ball of Tribulation Lightning in his hand, Gu Haitang’s eyelids twitched a few times.

He could sense that its power was far less than the normal Tribulation Lightning falling from the sky.

But…

After all, it was still Tribulation Lightning!

If Gu Changge asked him to help test the power of his Divine Skills, he wouldn’t mind standing there and letting him strike.

Facing the Tribulation Lightning, even as a Sage Realm Ancestor of the Gu Family, he didn’t want to be hit.

The Destruction Principle emitted by it was just too monstrous…

If he were in the same realm as Gu Changge, a single strike of this Tribulation Lightning would likely kill him instantly!

Even if it didn’t kill him, it could disable him; under such lightning, there would be absolutely no strength left to resist.

Just like when Gu Changge faced the Tribulation Lightning—merely catching the fourth strike caused him to lose control of his arm.

And his physique was much superior to ordinary cultivators; others would completely lose control of their bodies and end up twitching on the ground.

Even a cultivator a realm higher, in the Void Refining Realm, would find it unbearable to be struck by this Tribulation Lightning!

A few more hits, and death would be certain!

“You… how many times can you use this technique?”

The Ancestor took a deep breath, slightly calmed himself, and then continued to ask.

If this technique could only be used a few times, it would actually be kind of a useless Divine Skill for Gu Changge.

After all, he was already invincible in his own realm, why would he need to rely on Tribulation Lightning.

But as he finished speaking, Gu Changge pondered.

He then fully activated the Destruction Principle he controlled.

Instantly, hundreds of terrifyingly powerful Thunder Balls materialized behind him!

…

The Gu Family Ancestor watched the dazzling array of Thunder Balls and couldn’t help his face twitching!

He was truly a bit frightened!

This damn thing…

Even a Void Refining Realm cultivator would be dead for sure!

Even an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm cultivator, encountering this scene now, would want to turn tail and run, fearful of confronting such a monster!

“Huh—”

“This is the most I can manage, the Spiritual Energy is a bit overwhelming.”

“If I can break through to the Void Refining Realm, it should be much better.”

As Gu Changge spoke, he waved his hand and dispersed the gathered Tribulation Lightning, allowing it to transform back into Spiritual Energy.

Although dispersing them wasted 30% of his Spiritual Energy, it also tested the limit of this technique.

Just now, he felt he could have used the Tribulation Lightning to achieve a different effect, not just forming Thunder Balls.

“The old man… suddenly feels that the prodigies of Central State are quite pitiable.”

“When you go to Central State, how will they face this monster…”

Gu Haitang took a deep breath, gazing at his junior with a complex look, and spoke very earnestly.

“It’s okay…”

“I don’t feel that strong.”

“There are so many powerful beings in the world, my strength is still far from enough.”

“The path of cultivation is long and arduous!”

Gu Changge smiled lightly, speaking very indifferently.

“Add to that your calm temperament…”

“A seat among the ranks of Human Immortals is assured for you.”

“My Gu Family will also establish itself in Central State.”

Hearing him say this, Gu Haitang’s gaze filled with even more admiration.

“Well then, now that the danger is over, you should head back.”

“In the next few days, the old man will arrange the affairs at Duanbei City.”

“Bring Gu Kuang to Duanbei City and see if we can capture a few suitable Demon Beasts as well.”

Not wanting to face this little monster anymore, he simply waved his hand dismissively and walked to the lakeside to pick up a fishing rod and began fishing as usual.

Seeing this, Gu Changge respectfully took his leave.

On the way down the mountain, he couldn’t help but reflect, “I thought I was going to die…”

Unexpectedly, reaching a certain level of Root Bone could even trigger Heavenly Tribulation.

Deemed unacceptable by heaven and earth.

Unfortunately…

Even if the heavens and earth do not tolerate it, how can Heavenly Tribulations deal with me after they occur!

That thing, it’s a great supplement!

Unfortunately, Heavenly Tribulations are hard to come by!

Unless there are other unforeseen circumstances, the next time I can trigger a Heavenly Tribulation will probably be the day I break through to the Sage Realm.

At that time, I will be able to devour the Origin of the Heavenly Tribulation again, allowing me to further advance the Destruction Principle that I control.

Thinking this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Since I can devour Heavenly Tribulations, if the Ancestor breaks through to the True Monarch Realm or if the Family Head breaks through to the Sage Realm…

Or maybe one day in the future, my wives have also reached the level of a Sacred Body due to my nurturing, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.

Could I also devour their Heavenly Tribulations?

It does not have to be only my own Heavenly Tribulations!

“It seems… it actually works!”

“Not only does it reduce their danger during tribulation, but it also allows me to enhance the Origin of the Heavenly Tribulation that I control.”

“Tsk…”

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.

He was already looking forward to the next time he would devour a Heavenly Tribulation!

Having been struck so miserably this time, next time he would not be so polite. He would directly charge into the Tribulation Cloud, “I’ll just eat, eat, eat!”

Soon, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, he could see a palace he had never seen before.

That palace even looked more grand than the Gu Family’s Council Hall.

It was indeed the Young Master Palace the elders had proposed to build for him.

Since he was passing by, he went over.

“Young Master.”

Many of the Gu Family’s Deacons were busy decorating. Seeing his arrival, they all came forward to salute.

The matter of triggering the Heavenly Tribulation previously was completely unknown to the Gu Family.

However, Gu Changge had no intention of publicizing it.

“Your Highness, if there’s anything unsatisfactory, we will change it right now.”

The many Deacons thought the Young Master was here for inspection, but they also noticed that the Young Master had come from the Back Mountain and all showed envious expressions, clearly indicating that the Young Master had been to see the Ancestor.

Even the Family Head, Gu Zhan, did not usually have the chance to see the Ancestor.

Unless it was a matter of life and death for the Gu Family, ordinary matters did not warrant the Family Head seeking an audience with the Ancestor.

But the Young Master casually visiting the Ancestor in the Back Mountain was as common as eating a meal.

“Looks good.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Gu Changge casually glanced over. Although he didn’t see the interior, the exterior alone was impressive enough!

As he spoke, he courteously saluted the Deacons.

But the Deacons hurriedly returned the salute.

The status of the Young Master now was incomparable to the past!

In the Gu Family, everyone knew that if the Young Master wished, his authority could greatly exceed that of the Family Head Gu Zhan.

Previously when the Gu Family had a Young Master, most situations involved thirty percent of the elders supporting the Young Master while fifty percent supported the Family Head, with the remainder remaining neutral.

Most of the time, the Young Master just needed to put forth a proposal that swayed the neutral elders to pass it by a narrow margin.

But now?

Every elder in the Gu Family had clearly stated their stance, fully supporting every decision of the Young Master, whatever he proposed could be directly approved, even without going through the Family Head!

Fortunately, Gu Changge did not have that intention; he simply wanted to quietly improve himself and had no desire to control the Gu Family.

He would rather leave the tiresome matters to his grandfather…

After learning that the construction would be completed in about three to five days, Gu Changge bid farewell and left.

He had not even returned to the Gu Family Inner Court when he heard the system notification again, Yuan Youbai had already finished refining that Elixir!
