Chapter 2015: The man who made the heavenly tribulation alter its rules

Translator: GodBrandy

Although Pavilion Master Chu’s illusion was very rough and illogical, with her being an Immortal, all of those who saw the scene would ignore these unreasonable factors.

People’s brains would take the initiative to fill up those holes on their own.

This was the benefit of being powerful. They did not need to rely on intricate designs when setting up illusions; they could simply rely on their strength.

With the strength of an Immortal, even if it was just some random illusion, for ordinary people, it could last for a hundred years or even longer.

And a hundred years was a lifetime for ordinary human beings.

Perhaps there would be some long-lived people who would eventually recall what they saw today when they got much older. After the influence of the illusion dissipated, they would remember the unreasonable factors in the scene. But at that point, it would not really matter.

In the sky.

“Sorry for troubling you, Senior Chu,” said Song Shuhang with a smile. He then mobilized his psychic energy to gently control Fellow Daoist Ding Gan’s body and move toward the outskirts of the Jiangnan area.

Pavilion Master Chu’s hair swirled around, and she replied, “It’s just a small illusion, nothing much.”

“Speaking of which, Senior Chu, did we intervene in his tribulation?” Song Shuhang said.

Pavilion Master Chu chuckled, and then she said gently, “I don’t know if you’ve interfered with his tribulation, but I’m certain that I did not.”

In the end, the only thing she did was set up some illusions; she did not interfere with the tribulation in any way.

As for Song Shuhang, it was hard to say.

He appeared just as Ding Gan’s Master took action to scatter the heavenly tribulation. Afterward, Song Shuhang used his psychic energy to pick up Ding Gan and moved him to the outskirts of the Jiangnan area.

Normally, when the heavenly tribulation was scattered and had to gather itself again, Song Shuhang’s action of moving Ding Gan to another location would not have been considered interfering with the process.

However, the heavenly tribulation had been changing with each passing day, and they were unsure if the method used to determine if someone was interfering had changed.

The thing was that Song Shuhang had quite the relationship with the heavenly tribulation, so there was a chance that the tribulation would become happy just from seeing him and involve him forcibly.

After a moment of silence, Song Shuhang raised his head and looked into the distance. “I hope everything goes well.”

In the suburbs, a giant flying sword was suspended in the air.

Senior White and Sixteen were lying by a window, waving at him.

Song Shuhang’s spirit was bolstered.

“Thank you for your help, Senior Tyrannical Song.” At this time, Ding Gan’s Master also arrived; he bowed to Song Shuhang from a distance.

Song Shuhang said, “We can’t relax just yet. Although the tribulation clouds have been scattered, it is not over yet. With the changes that have happened to the heavenly tribulation, even if it’s been dispersed, it can still regather very quickly.”

Ding Gan had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his entire body was charred black.

What was even worse was that the inner demon inside his body was getting restless and could give rise to an inner demon tribulation at any moment.

The reason Song Shuhang and the others had appeared directly in the area where Ding Gan was transcending his tribulation was the inner demon in his body.

After Ding Gan and his senior sister visited Song Shuhang last time, Pavilion Master Chu took a strand of Song Shuhang’s hair and gave it to Ding Gan. At that time, she had also placed a mark through the ?Divine Weapon Appraisal? on Song Shuhang’s hair. With that, she could sense Ding Gan’s state at any time.

After sensing the changes in Ding Gan’s inner demon, Pavilion Master Chu told Song Shuhang and Senior White about it.

After obtaining White’s consent, Pavilion Master Chu used the ?Divine Weapon Appraisal? mark on Song Shuhang’s hair and had the giant flying sword traverse space to reach the Jiangnan area.

After taking a medicinal pill, Ding Gan slowly recovered.

He sat up and smiled wryly as he looked at the almost intact tribulation-transcending formation beside him.

When his heavenly tribulation descended, his inner demon took advantage of that moment to affect him.

Although he had taken precautions, he failed to resist it as he was focused on resisting the heavenly tribulation.

Under the influence of his inner demon, Ding Gan left behind the intact tribulation-transcending formation and ran all the way to the downtown Jiangnan area.

If Song Shuhang and his Master had not acted in time, he might have died already.

This clearly showed the importance of having guardians stand by and watch when a person was transcending their tribulation.

Loose cultivators suffered from the lack of such protective figures, so the rate of mortality when they transcended the tribulation was much higher.

“Senior Tyrannical Song,” Ding Gan looked at Song Shuhang and said, “my inner demon is stronger than I thought. I…”

“Don’t worry, you can do it,” Song Shuhang encouraged him. At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice, [Do you see Sage Monarch White over there? Your heavenly tribulation will regather soon. Before that happens, pray to Sage Monarch White. Trust me, if you do that, you will have absolutely no problem transcending your tribulation. The more sincere your prayers, the better.]

Ding Gan was slightly taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed solemnly toward Sage Monarch White.

[I pray to Sage White, please let me transcend this tribulation safely… I beg Sage White to protect me!]

The heavenly tribulation of the Third Stage condensed above Ding Gan’s head once again.

As Ding Gan had hardly used his tribulation-transcending formation during the last wave, the formation was nearly intact. All he needed to do was to supply it with some spirit stones.

Ding Gan stood in the tribulation-transcending formation, slightly nervous.

He was faced with both internal and external troubles.

There was the heavenly tribulation descending on the outside, and there was an inner demon lurking on the inside. There was also Senior Tyrannical Song’s pair of eyes, which made him extremely nervous as they stared at him.

“Boom~”

Tribulation lightning condensed, and a probing lightning bolt descended.

Not far away, Song Shuhang looked at the Third Stage heavenly tribulation while drooling.

“Pay attention to your image! You’re Profound Sage Tyrannical Song right now. Don’t lose face in front of others.” Pavilion Master Chu reminded him.

If he kept drooling while looking at the heavenly tribulation, it would look as if he had been shocked silly.

“What a pity Ding Gan did not use the tribulation-transcending formation I gave him. Otherwise, the Third Stage lightning tribulation would’ve been bounced away, allowing us to seal it and preserve it. I just can’t help but recall the taste of the ?Braised Heavenly Tribulation?. That taste, that rich aroma…” Song Shuhang licked his lips as he spoke.

He felt hungry now.

The longer he looked at the tribulation lightning, the more hungry he felt.

This was not only the case for Song Shuhang but for Senior White as well. He lay by the window of the giant flying sword with shining eyes.

His clone had transmitted back the information on the taste of the ?Braised Heavenly Tribulation?, but his real body had yet to taste the dish.

Three pairs of hungry eyes stared at the tribulation clouds.

One pair was from Senior White, while the other two pairs were from Song Shuhang as he was now a man with four eyes.

“Rumble~” The probing lightning bolt descended.

At the same time, the next wave began brewing inside the tribulation clouds.

But suddenly, a snow-like dot of light appeared within the tribulation clouds, reminding one of a computer screen.

Was the Third Stage heavenly tribulation mutating?

Every time the heavenly tribulation descended, different versions of the lightning tribulation would be released according to the cultivator’s strength, experience, luck, karma, and other data.

The lightning tribulation that Ding Gan was facing seemed to be recalculating the power it should use.

After a while, the heavenly tribulation descended again.

“Rumble~”

This time, there was no lightning, but only sonic booms.

Had the lightning tribulation become a sound tribulation?
