Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1364 735: March Crossing Tribulation

Behind Dragon Claw Peak, White Jade Square.

The sky was clear and blue, when suddenly the Nine Nether Tower standing in the center of the square burst into radiance, bells rang in unison, resonating a grand Tao sound that echoed all around.

The next moment, the tower doors slammed open, and figures flew out from behind the doors, landing in every corner of the square.

"What's going on? Why am I out here?" someone exclaimed in confusion, not understanding what happened.

"Ah! Just give me a bit more time, and I would have certainly broken through this realm, why... why couldn't I have even a little more time!" someone else was extremely frustrated, so furious that their face contorted.

"The test is over? Why so abrupt!" Another person remained very calm, their gaze fixed on the Nine Nether Tower.

Zhao Xiandu's gaze was sneaky as he silently surveyed the surroundings, quickly taking everyone in with his eyes.

"Zhao Changhu, Zhao Xiangang, Zhao Qingsu, Zhao Yanzhuo... wait, where is Zhao Sanyue? Where did she go? Could it be... she was already eliminated?" Zhao Xiandu's mind raced, but he soon dismissed this thought: "No, Zhao Sanyue is not mediocre, even Zhao Changhu is here, it's impossible that she is inferior to Tiger Fool... what on earth happened?"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to the two Divinity Transformation Ancestors guarding outside, with several people more excitedly asking: "Ping Ancestor, do you know..."

"It's so unfair, everything's so illogical... there should be an explanation for us!"

"Ping Ancestor, how is this test ranked?"

Just then, the aged Zhao Zhongping suddenly coughed and spoke in a deep voice: "Silence!"

As soon as he spoke, the square fell into silence.

Zhao Zhongping looked serious, his cloudy old eyes slowly sweeping over the crowd, everyone lowering their heads, not daring to meet the Ancestor's gaze.

Only the two with the surname Yan appeared unafraid of the Ancestor's pressure, their eyes showing a nonchalant acceptance of death.

"Your recent behavior was quite disappointing to this old man! It was just a test, is success or failure so important? Where did the determination forged from a thousand years of cultivation go? Hmph, ridiculous display, what kind of conduct is this!"

Zhao Zhongping's reprimand made everyone feel deeply embarrassed, each one rendered speechless.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, Zhao Yanzhuo just wants clarity. We were all confused coming out of the tower, there ought to be an explanation? I just want to know, what is Ancestor Xi's intention with this?" Zhao Yanzhuo, thinking he wouldn't live much longer anyway, dared to question openly.

Zhao Zhongping's face darkened, snorting coldly: "Hmph, an explanation? This old man will give you an explanation! Where is the Master of Precepts Hall? Get out here!"

"Ancestor calm your anger!"

"Forefather, calm your anger! Second Uncle was momentarily agitated, it wasn't disrespect against you!"

"Indeed, indeed! Second Uncle's end is near, there's no need for the Ancestor to take this to heart."

"Second Uncle, you're too reckless. Forefather has always been magnanimous, and now you..."

As the Master of Precepts Hall Zhao Xiangang stepped out from the crowd, more than thirty Nascent Soul Elders from the Zhao instantly spoke to plead for mercy.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhongping's face remained tight, waiting for Zhao Xuanji to intercede for him.

It was all just talk, what could he do to someone who was about to die?

However, before Zhao Xuanji could plead, an unexpected change caught everyone off guard!

Rumble!

Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed from the sky, the immense roar reverberating throughout the clouds, shaking the woods below into a rustle, leaves falling like rain.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, suddenly their expressions altered simultaneously.

Only to see... the previously clear sky suddenly filled with massive dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds covered the Heavenly Vault, making the sky dark as night.

As an incredibly dull rumble emitted from the clouds, the dark clouds flashed with lightning and roared with thunder, thick electric snakes and thunder chains occasionally tore through the clouds, illuminating the ground below, and also lighting up the faces of the Zhao Family members, who all changed dramatically in expression.

"...The Divinity Transformation Heavenly Tribulation? Impossible! Who is crossing tribulation at such a time?" Zhao Xiandu's expression changed wildly, suddenly shouting in agitation.

"The tribulation clouds have formed, the Heavenly Tribulation is inevitable! But...who is this 'Divine' choosing this critical moment to cross tribulation? Are they seeking death?"

"Currently not on the scene, and their cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Perfect Realm, only Ancestor Yan and Ancestor Qingjiang fit this bill. Could it be one of them?" Zhao Xiangang speculated.

"Could it be that Zhao Yan truly perfected his cultivation and now seeks to make a desperate attempt?" Zhao Yanzhuo alternately considered, though he didn't realize Zhao Yan had already perished.

Zhao Zhongping and Zhao Xuanji both gazed solemnly at the tribulation clouds above, neither speaking.

In fact, they too didn't know which junior amongst them was crossing the tribulation,

But whoever it was, they didn't fall outside three or four possibilities.

Now the most important thing was, the person had to successfully cross the tribulation, if they failed, they would become ashes instantly!

At this moment, no matter how hard everyone wracks their brains, they would never imagine the true identity of the person crossing the tribulation.

The time shifts back a little bit!

Inside the ninth layer of the tower, Zhao Sheng was quite pleased, but in the next second, his expression froze, suddenly turning to look at where Zhao Sanyue had disappeared.

At this moment, an originally empty spot suddenly manifested a person out of thin air, who else could it be but Zhao Sanyue?

"Uh!" Zhao Sheng's eyes were filled with shock, never expecting Zhao Sanyue to "return" so quickly!
