Who Let Him Cultivate?!
Chapter 1203 - 1202: Neutralize It

Outside the Abode, Yun Mengmeng held an unripe Immortal Spirit Fruit as a sandbag, tossing it at Gan Tian. Gan Tian, agile as ever, dodged, and the Immortal Spirit Fruit was caught by Qinghe standing behind. Qinghe continued to throw it at Gan Tian, who kept evading.

The three women were having a blast.

Lu Yang took a couple of deep breaths and, with a smile on his face, emerged from the Abode, looking unflustered.

Although he didn't know what the Heavenly Tribulation would be like this time, he decided to act as if everything was under control.

"Sister Mengmeng, I'm about to break through my realm and will soon have to Pass the Tribulation; you all should go down the mountain first..."

Yun Mengmeng hadn't expected Second-in-command to come out at this moment. Distracted, she failed to catch the Immortal Spirit Fruit that was thrown to her, which then fell to the ground.

And then, with a boom, it exploded,

drowning out Lu Yang's voice.

Unripe Immortal Spirit Fruits were explosive.

Yun Mengmeng jumped in shock and quickly checked on Lu Yang with concern, "Second-in-command, are you all right? Did you just say you're about to Pass the Tribulation?"

Lu Yang, covered in soot and dirt, coughed twice, no longer maintaining his unflustered poise: "Cough, I'm fine. You all hurry down the mountain."

"All right, all right."

Yun Mengmeng hastily took a bag full of unripe Immortal Spirit Fruits down the mountain, worrying that if a bolt from the Thunder Tribulation went astray and struck the fruits, it might blast Second-in-command straight into the sky.

After the three women left, only Lu Yang remained on Sky Gate Mountain. He took another deep breath, steadied his Mind State, and spread his arms wide to embrace the Heavens.

He freely unleashed his realm, ready to confront the Heavenly Tribulation.

"I'm ready. Heavenly Tribulation, bring it on!"

Lu Yang stood with his arms wide open like a crucifix, waiting for a long time, but the Heavenly Tribulation was slow to descend.

"That's strange, where is the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"You tell me how to Pass the Tribulation, and I'll strike that way."

Yingtian Immortal thought it over seriously and decided that it shouldn't be up to him to determine what kind of Heavenly Tribulation would descend, as he didn't know Lu Yang as well as Daoist Yun Zhi and Fairy Eternity.

Only those most familiar with Lu Yang could decide which type of Heavenly Tribulation should descend.

Upon hearing Yingtian Immortal's words, Fairy Eternity was elated: "That's perfect, just pick an easy Thunder Tribulation and give him a couple of symbolic strikes."

"Okay, then I will descend..."

"Not so fast. Junior Brother hasn't become an Immortal yet and lacks experience. If he starts slacking during his Tribulation now, how will he fare in his future Cultivation? We should drop a heavier Thunder Tribulation."

"Fine, then I will descend..."

"I think Little Yang is doing quite well at the moment, energetic and vigorous, with a strong physique. He doesn't lack experience, so a moderate Thunder Tribulation will suffice."

"As the Fairy Senior has said, Junior Brother is full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and strong of body, but there's still room for improvement. Wouldn't taking it up a notch be better?"

"Ying Tian, you give your opinion. What kind of Tribulation should Little Yang Pass?"

"Yingtian Immortal Senior should know the principle that the stronger the Thunder Tribulation, the better."

Both turned to look at Yingtian Immortal at the same time.

Yingtian Immortal broke out in a cold sweat, unsure of which side to choose.

Is this Lu Yang passing the Tribulation, or is it me?

"Since the dawn of time, the mighty have been revered. Why not have a duel between Immortal Fairy and Daoist Yun Zhi? The victor will decide the matter."

Fairy Eternity, who had appeared taut and serious just moments before, suddenly started coughing, "Immortal has serious injuries that require rest and cannot return to peak form for now. Miss Yun surely wouldn't have the heart to compete with me in my current state."

"Once my injuries are healed, then I will compete with Miss Yun!"

Yun Zhi was having some regrets. Was taking The Controller as a bribe to stay quiet too cheap a price?

"Fairy Senior, why don't we strike a compromise?" Yun Zhi suggested proactively.

"You see, the Thunder Tribulation has a total of eighty-one strikes. We could alternate, light strike following heavy, with eighty-one light and eighty-one heavy in total. This way, we could both have our requirements met."

Fairy Eternity thought about it seriously for a moment and felt it was a good idea.

Although she hadn't lowered the power of all the Thunder Tribulations as she had wanted, halving them still seemed fair to Little Yang.

...

As the legendary Lu Yang's breakthrough approached, the entire Seek Dao Sect turned up for the spectacle, even those running barbecue stands and butcheries came to join in.

Lu Yang's previous Spirit Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was eye-opening, so his current Void Refinement Thunder Tribulation was expected to be extraordinary as well.

"Why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation descended yet?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, sensing something unusual.

"I've never heard of a Heavenly Tribulation being late."

The crowd was especially baffled, as it was an ironclad rule of the Cultivation World that Thunder Tribulation would come immediately upon a realm breakthrough—a rule that had held true for three hundred thousand years since Ancient Times, with no exceptions.

"Why is Senior Brother Lu standing with his arms open all this time? Is it some kind of ritual?"

"Maybe that's why Senior Brother Lu is so strong?"

Boom—

The long-awaited Thunder Tribulation descended on Lu Yang like pillars, striking him with blinding brightness.

They were far from Sky Gate Mountain, but when the Thunder Tribulation descended, it was still deafening, resonating in their chests, vibrating as if in unison with the thunder. One could only imagine the immense pressure Lu Yang in the center of the Thunder Tribulation was facing.

"Here it comes, finally! What kind of Thunder Tribulation is this? It looks so powerful!"

"I don't recognize it."

"Quick, go borrow the 'Thunder Tribulation Complete' from the Scripture Pavilion!"

"I've memorized the 'Thunder Tribulation Complete', but there isn't this kind of Thunder Tribulation in it!"

"Who told you to flip through the 'Thunder Tribulation Complete?' You were supposed to add a blank page at the back; the Thunder Tribulation needs an update!"

"Makes sense, makes sense!"

At first, Lu Yang was startled by the Thunder Tribulation. Was the Yingtian Immortal really this ruthless?

But soon, he noticed something was off; this strike of Thunder Tribulation, while looking fierce, actually felt tingly and numb on impact—quite comfortable, like a massage.

"It seems that the Yingtian Immortal still treats me alright... Ah—"

Before Lu Yang could finish his sentence, he was hit solidly by the second strike of Thunder Tribulation, which compared to the first, was as different as heaven and earth in terms of power.

Seeing the lack of power in the Thunder Tribulation, Lu Yang had let his guard down, only to be nearly knocked senseless by the second strike.

"First a mild Thunder Tribulation to get me to relax then suddenly a powerful one comes crashing down?"

"Yingtian Immortal, surely you jest. You're using tactics against me?"

It was always the Cultivator facing the Thunder Tribulation with strategies; this was Lu Yang's first time encountering a Thunder Tribulation that used tactics.

Just as Lu Yang braced himself for the third strike of Thunder Tribulation, it went back to the tingling sensation.

Not daring to let his guard down, Lu Yang was proven right as the fourth strike of Thunder Tribulation came with a frightening increase in power, far beyond what a Void Refinement Stage Thunder Tribulation should have.

"Hiss, it hurts so much."

With so many admirers watching from below, Lu Yang took the pain in stride, not making a sound, showing remarkable resilience.

In his mind, Lu Yang kept hypnotizing himself—eighty-one strikes of Thunder Tribulation, just bear with it until it's over, eighty-one strikes of Thunder Tribulation, just bear with it until it's over.

After the eighty-first strike of Thunder Tribulation, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was painful, he could barely hang on.

Mere Thunder Tribulation, that's all it was.

Then the eighty-second strike of Thunder Tribulation was ready to unleash.

"Wait, why is there more Thunder Tribulation?!"
