At this moment, the expressions of the tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in the distance shifted unpredictably. As cultivators, they had certainly heard of the Immortal Tribulation. However, since most of them hailed from various dynasties, they had never had the chance to witness a cultivator undergoing such an ordeal in person. Now, seeing with their own eyes the dark clouds pressing down—bearing down upon the incredibly vast Immortal City of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, an oppressive force that even the city's Grand Array, reputed to withstand attacks from High-Grade Earth Immortals, could not repel—How could these cultivators not be filled with terror!

Especially when they saw the countless bolts of Divine Thunder converging above the young nun from Spirit Platform Buddhism, and watched as these innumerable streaks of lightning twisted and writhed, the cultivators' faces paled further.

Most cultivators quickly fell back. Lin Xuankong and his seven companions retreated approximately 3.3 kilometers. The other cultivators, already positioned hundreds of meters, or even as far as 3.3 kilometers away, still did not dare to linger. They continued to retreat until they had withdrawn several more kilometers, finally stopping at a distance of more than ten kilometers (over twenty li) from the event. Only then did they, one by one, leap onto some of the tall buildings within Spiritual Crane Immortal City to observe from afar.

At this time, it wasn't just the cultivators attending the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony who were watching with rapt attention. Cultivators from various other streets and buildings, having noticed the ominous change in the heavens, had also flown out to gaze in this direction. Spiritual Crane Immortal City was already immense, and now, atop its countless structures, the number of cultivators observing the Celestial Tribulation likely numbered in the millions.

Many people began to discuss the event.

"After ten years, Spiritual Crane Immortal City is witnessing another cultivator undergoing a tribulation! The last one, if I recall, was Huang Yunhai, the eldest son of Huang Liutao, Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Second-Grade Earth Immortal, right?"

"Yes, that's him! That Celestial Tribulation, like this one, was a Divine Thunder Celestial Tribulation! I heard that while it's not the most difficult to overcome, it still ranks among the top twenty of the one hundred and eight types of Celestial Tribulations!"

"Indeed! When Huang Yunhai faced his tribulation ten years ago, it's said Huang Liutao specially requisitioned a First-Grade Immortal Artifact from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect for him. He also prepared a vast number of treasures to help resist the tribulation, including three Tier Nine Magical Artifacts, six Tier Eight Magical Artifacts, and twelve Tier Seven Magical Artifacts! Even so, under the assault of that Celestial Tribulation, not only were many of Huang Yunhai's Magical Artifacts instantly obliterated, but even that First-Grade Immortal Artifact exhausted its True Qi within three breaths! In the end, Fellow Daoist Huang could only rely on his cultivation technique to withstand the tribulation, and he nearly perished. If Second-Grade Earth Immortal Huang Liutao hadn't forcefully intervened in the Celestial Tribulation, I'm afraid Huang Yunhai would have been lost! Unfortunately, interfering with a Celestial Tribulation prevents the Golden Core from condensing and the Divine Soul from merging with it. It also causes severe injuries to the Divine Soul and meridians. It's said that Fellow Daoist Huang's realm dropped as a result; his Li Fire Vein was damaged, reducing him to the Eighth-Layer Realm. Even now, ten years later, he still hasn't recovered to the Ninth Layer!"

"However, this Divine Thunder Celestial Tribulation seems even more ferocious than the one Fellow Daoist Huang from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect faced! I remember the previous tribulation didn't gather such an expansive area of tribulation clouds!"

"Cultivators possess different talents and cultivation techniques, so the tribulations they invoke naturally vary. It is said that the more potent the tribulation, the stronger the resulting Initial Tier Earth Immortal Golden Core. This, in turn, leads to faster cultivation speed within the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, even ordinary tribulations are exceedingly difficult to overcome. The tribulation before us appears even more formidable; this fellow Daoist undergoing it likely faces a high probability of failure!"

"Alas, such is the nature of Celestial Tribulations. Attaining Immortal Ascension is never easy! In the more than two hundred years I've resided in Spiritual Crane Immortal City, I've personally witnessed twenty-three Celestial Tribulations. Yet, only one person managed to endure to the end and successfully pass: Qu Lin Immortal Venerable, who achieved the Initial Tier Earth Immortal realm and was granted a Spirit Peak here in Spiritual Crane Immortal City!"

"It's true. Across the countless dynasties under the rule of the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region, the total number of cultivators likely amounts to trillions. Yet, how many ultimately succeed in passing the Celestial Tribulation to become an Initial Tier Earth Immortal with an eight-thousand-year lifespan? Every millennium, only a few dozen manage to reach the Earth Immortal realm!"

Listening to the discussions from a distance, Lin Xuankong felt a growing pressure in his heart. Achieving the Initial Tier Earth Immortal realm is truly no easy feat, he secretly pondered. There are countless cultivators in the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region, yet over a millennium, only a few dozen manage to advance to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm! Will this young nun from Spirit Platform Buddhism be able to withstand such a ferocious Celestial Tribulation? Regardless, being able to witness the might of a Celestial Tribulation firsthand is undoubtedly a good thing for me. It will help me prepare for my own future advancement to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm and lay an excellent foundation!

With this thought, he roused his spirits, his eyes narrowing as he focused intently on the young nun from Spirit Platform Buddhism.

At this very moment, it wasn't merely the countless Transcendent Realm cultivators within Spiritual Crane Immortal City who were focused on this Celestial Tribulation. Far in the distance, at the site of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's main sect, upon the Lingxiu Immortal Mountains, numerous Immortals had already emerged, floating out from their cultivation abodes. They gazed towards this location from a hundred li (fifty kilometers) away.

Even the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment competition had not disturbed these Earth Immortals from their secluded cultivation. Yet, the Celestial Tribulation triggered by this young nun had captured the attention of many among them. One could only imagine that this young nun from Spirit Platform Buddhism possessed truly exceptional talent to be capable of invoking a Divine Thunder Celestial Tribulation powerful enough to startle even Immortals!
