Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

In other words, he has to face... many Golden Core cultivators? And they are all his former senior brothers and uncles?

Thinking about being surrounded by so many True Men made him quite nervous, and he swallowed and asked:

"Master, how many True Men will be talking with me?"

"Ha."

His master didn't answer directly but instead showed a playful smile.

Then he handed a jade scroll to Li Ye and patted his shoulder: "Here is the method of nurturing pills with the world and some secret affairs regarding the Small Thousand World.

It's what I promised you earlier; study well.

And don't rush, why not go watch a celestial tribulation before entering?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The scenery around Hongqiao changed instantly like a storm.

In just a moment, they returned to the Eastern Domain and stopped above a strange valley within the sect, surrounded by nine waterfalls.

Li Ye curiously glanced down, Tribulation Crossing? A good show?

Around the valley, the nine waterfalls surged and poured streams filled with spiritual power, every flying droplet and splashing water shone with a miraculous spiritual light.

The waterfalls falling from the heavenly dome, with their roaring and overwhelming impact, polished and smoothed the valley rocks extremely, almost as if they were jade-like glistening.

Moreover, the spiritual power within the nine waterfalls was different, with pure spiritual power each drop shimmered, some restoring divine sense, others the physical body, protecting the soul, resisting heart demons...

Each waterfall was of a different color, yet they miraculously fused and remained distinct, flowing toward and surrounding a vast jade lotus platform in the valley center.

Sitting quietly on the lotus platform was a figure.

Wearing a white Taoist robe, looking handsome, it was clearly Su Ya!

"Senior Brother Su is going to form his core?"

"...Tch."

Li Ye felt a mix of joy and a slight disappointment; he had intended to boast about forming his Golden Core, but it seemed he couldn't, as Su Ya was also forming his. However, it was a brief moment of disappointment, and he was truly happy for Senior Brother Su.

"Watch how we form the core in our Four Seasons Sect."

True Man Suoxing was already sitting on the clouds, quite leisurely half-lying against the soft clouds.

The seemingly common clouds around seemed to maintain the same height, making Li Ye wonder if there were other cultivators watching?

But he no longer had time to observe the surrounding cultivators.

Because the celestial tribulation had already begun.

The heavy tribulation clouds covered the sky and engulfed the valley, cloaking an area of ten thousand miles in a pitch-black heavenly light, making Li Ye uneasy.

"We won't be forced to cross the tribulation too if we enter the tribulation clouds, will we?" Li Ye swallowed.

"No." His master pointed below: "These nine spiritual power waterfalls and the lotus platform below were all set up by our founder, comparing who can last longest against the tribulation in our Four Seasons Sect.

After all, the longer you endure the celestial tribulation, the more rewards you get."

By now, the tribulation clouds had begun pouring down the tribulation thunder like rain, almost like the heavenly river overturning, directly submerging the lotus platform.

And Su Ya sitting in the center of the lotus platform cast out several pills, then fiercely spat out a mouthful of essence blood, activating more pills.

Those pills, surrounded by different spiritual powers, started helping Su Ya resist the celestial tribulation, and the power from the lotus platform provided him with nearly inexhaustible spiritual power.

But this could be considered a provocation to the celestial tribulation.

Celestial tribulations are trials by the Celestial Dao to test if a cultivator is worthy of advancing in strength and rank, and theoretically, external aids are not allowed.

Li Ye previously succeeded in crossing the tribulation by blending his aura with other cultivators through the power of the Emotion Song, and the Celestial Dao seemed to intentionally test him.

But now Senior Brother Su was truly using the lotus platform's power, that endless spiritual power, a provocation to the celestial tribulation— if every cultivator relied on the lotus platform, wouldn't high-tier cultivators spring up like mushrooms after the rain?

The enraged celestial tribulation immediately intensified its force.

More terrifying thunder akin to a Thunder Pool poured down, enveloping the entire valley, the brilliance of the thunder tribulation extremely dazzling, wielding terrifying power to wreak havoc around, aiming to eliminate this 'cheater.'

However, the existence of this place is actually meant to calculate against the celestial tribulation of the Celestial Dao, Su Ya stood firm amidst the tribulation thunder, even starting alchemy on-site, utilizing the tribulation thunder as ingredients.

Meanwhile, he did not forget to collect the thunder water from the celestial tribulation, calmly placing it around, treating the tribulation as an opportunity for alchemy and collecting treasure materials.

"This, this works too?"

Li Ye blinked, somewhat regretting not returning to cross his tribulation here; this looks kind of thrilling...

"Booming!"

Just as this thought of it being "thrilling" surfaced, the mystical bracelet on his wrist, closely attached to the Sun and Moon Ring, suddenly emitted a faint glow.

A moment later, thunder clapped beside Li Ye.

Even his master, True Man Suoxing, was taken aback, appearing from afar and exclaimed, "You're crossing a tribulation?"

With these words out, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul True Men who were originally hidden in the clouds watching the show all poked their heads out, watching as Li Ye was struck by tribulation thunder and began to scurry about. They all had subtle smiles on their faces.

"This is truly the ancestor's manifestation."

"It must be Li Ye crossing the tribulation outside our Eastern Domain that made him dissatisfied, so he lets him cross it again!"

"Where's the Sect Leader? Can the Sect Leader enhance the power of the thunder tribulation with a treasure?"

Under the well-meaning onlooking gaze of the cultivators, Li Ye felt very aggrieved, he just thought the thunder tribulation was thrilling, so why does he have to cross it again?

It's definitely your doing!

He glanced down at the mystical bracelet on his wrist that was glowing faintly, its surface now layered with lightning.

But at this point, he had no escape, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes as he directly flew to the Lotus Platform and shouted to Senior Brother Su Ya, "Senior Brother, dare to get into something big with me!"

Su Ya saw Li Ye and answered without hesitation: "You tell me!"

Li Ye whispered a few words in Su Ya's ear, and the latter's eyes lit up, nodding: "Let's do it!"

As soon as these words were said, the willow branch of the Emotion Song wrapped around his wrist, which contained the gentle spiritual power Li Ye had harmonized from within the Lotus Platform.

"Hey!"

With the aid of this spiritual power, Su Ya stood up and shouted, "Furnace, come!"

The Pill Furnace that was just over a person's height beside him quickly expanded, floating above the Lotus Platform, enormously as if to encompass the entire Heavenly Dome and all the thunder tribulations within.

With Li Ye's help, Su Ya could uninhibitedly expand this pill furnace that his grandfather had enhanced with Nascent Soul treasure materials to the maximum.

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying suction force emanated from the Pill Furnace, swallowing the black tribulation clouds of the Heavenly Dome whole like a whale drinking.

Once the last wisp of tribulation cloud was swallowed, Su Ya, wearing the willow branch of the Emotion Song on his wrist, sat directly on top of the Pill Furnace, his fingers beginning intricate incantations.

As dazzling techniques were injected into the Pill Furnace, the tribulation clouds within were actually burned by the pill fire. What's more astonishing was that they were gradually shrinking and purifying.

"What?"

"Refining the Celestial Tribulation with just a Golden Core?"

"My dear Junior Nephew, do you need any spiritual materials!"

The Golden Core True Men from the Pill Hall all cried out, their eyes lit up, and some even promptly fished out spiritual materials required for alchemy from their storage rings and threw them straight over.

Quite a few people did so.

In a moment, those spiritual materials converged into streams, categorized and integrated into the Pill Furnace by Su Ya seated above it, gradually forming pills under the Pill Furnace's refining and the consumed tribulation clouds.

Time slowly passed.

About seven days later, Su Ya, eyes closed with a tired face yet gleaming eyes, opened wide and shouted: "Open the furnace!"

The Pill Furnace instantly burst open.

Countless black-gold pills scattered out, their surfaces faintly shimmering with lightning.

The pills shot outwards, quite a few still carrying spirituality, captured eagerly by the waiting Golden Core cultivators.

The aura of the tribulation clouds utterly dissipated.

The Heavenly Dome, however, unusually seemed to stand still for a moment before the pure spiritual qi from after the tribulation split in two, one part enveloping Su Ya.

And the other part fell upon Li Ye.

Li Ye gently stroked the mystical bracelet on his wrist, gazing at the sunlight and spiritual power falling from the Heavenly Dome, squinting slightly.

He smiled: "It's just a tribulation, so what?"

The flow of light on the mystical bracelet stuttered for a moment, then silently dimmed.
