Chapter 470: Chapter 423: The Thunder Tribulation Rises Again [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

These days, Wang Zijia’s schedule was rather tight.

Rarely, during the morning time allocated for making jade talismans, he was in the midst of restoring his mana.

Rather than idly observing the myriad spell techniques of the Devil Gate’s demoness, he took advantage of this gap to start having An Xingsheng arrange for disciples to come for private tutoring.

The Fourth Grade Tao Law had been open for several months at the White Peach Tower, and while it had proven to be effective, it also invited queries from various disciples.

Previously, Wang Zijia only dedicated a small portion of his time to personally instructing a few disciples.

With the peach blossoms in full bloom in the past ten days, and the time set for systematic lectures, Wang Zijia simply started offering a large number of private lessons.

Of course, the tuition was quite hefty, with fees for one disciple’s question reaching hundreds to thousands of magic money.

Without a certain level of wealth, it was absolutely unbearable.

However, the effect was very notable. With his external aid, Wang Zijia almost guaranteed that every disciple who sought private tutoring had something to gain.

So as to ensure it wouldn’t harm his reputation!

The continuous lectures over eight or nine days made White Peach Peak increasingly lively and active, evolving into something like a grand peach forest gathering.

······

That afternoon, Wang Zijia was standing on top of the Chuan Dao Tower, preaching.

Down in the peach forest, with the peach blossoms swaying gently and the fragrance of flowers filling the air, Wang Zijia’s words echoed like Dao sounds filling the minds of countless disciples, each one completely entranced with new insights constantly emerging.

Suddenly, Wang Zijia stopped his preaching.

The countless disciples absorbed in his words also came to their senses one by one and looked up at the sky.

It was originally the perfect sunny afternoon, and it being the autumn season, the clouds were very scarce. The sky was crystal clear.

However, out of nowhere, dark clouds rolled in and quickly gathered. In the blink of an eye, they filled the sky and converged towards Qifeng Mountain.

Within the thunderclouds, arcs of electricity flickered intermittently, and a faint aura of destruction permeated between heaven and earth.

It made people feel a wave of depression and unease, and subconsciously wanting to get away.

"Is this... yet another tribulation cloud?"

Wang Zijia’s mind stirred slightly, quickly taking to the air and looking towards Qifeng Mountain.

"Is this a thunder tribulation?"

"Has another God Monarch achieved a breakthrough?"

"This would be the second one this year, wouldn’t it?"

"So many Perfected Ones have had breakthroughs lately! Did they all concentrate on breaking through at the same time?"

"In which year have there been few Perfected Ones in our sect who broke through to become Infant Gods?"

"Was there any in the last year, or the year before that, or even five years ago?"

"You don’t know anything, only after successfully condensing an Infant God can one withstand the final baptism of the thunder tribulation!"

"So?"

"You’re so clueless, what my senior brother means is, every year there are quite a few Perfected Ones who break through to become Infant Gods, just that none of them have taken the final step in the past few years!"

"Is that so?"

"Then do you guys think they’ll make it through?"

"Throughout the history of our sect, there are countless Perfected Ones who failed to break through, but as long as they can witness the thunder tribulation, ninety percent of them have succeeded!"

"Why is that?"

"Because... becoming a Perfected One is too difficult!"

"That’s right, no one can condense an Infant God if they’re not exceptionally talented. And once they manage to do so, how can they fear the final baptism and transformation?!"

"······"

In an instant, the whole Peach Forest Dojo was buzzing, filled with discussions.

Wang Zijia was hovering in the sky, and after sensing for a moment, he said to his disciples below, "Today’s lecture is temporarily halted. We’ll continue tomorrow."

Having said that, he didn’t mind the disciples’ reaction, and immediately entered the White Peach Courtyard.

He quickly dashed into the cultivation room and closed his eyes.

With a slight movement of his mind, his Skin Demon avatar quietly emerged from the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge of a Demon Seeding disciple at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

With that, it resumed its form and flew towards the sky above Qifeng Mountain.

White Peach Peak was too far from Qifeng Mountain. He estimated that by the time he flew there, it would have ended already, so he chose to use an avatar instead.

At that moment, the Protecting Sect Array that enveloped Qifeng Mountain had already closed, and several beams of Escape Light successively appeared in the sky around the main peak, Wanyu Peak.

When Wang Zijia arrived, there were already quite a few Perfected Ones and God Monarchs hovering in the sky.

Just as Wang Zijia had guessed, it was another Infant God Tribulation taking place at the Tribulation Crossing Platform on Wanyu Peak.

Obviously, this person undergoing tribulation was yet another extraordinary one.

Wang Zijia took a look around. Since he had taken off from the Artifact Academy, he spotted several familiar faces not far off.

He went over to the circle of acquaintances and stopped next to the familiar Gu Yuebai, asking, "Senior Brother Yuebai, who is it this time? Or should I say, yet another one suddenly popped up to cross the tribulation?"

Gu Yuebai stretched out his hand and pointed at a few God Monarchs standing not far from the Tribulation Crossing Platform on Wanyu Peak.

Two of them were those Wang Zijia had just met a few days ago.

The two peak God Monarch patriarchs from the calculation cultivator Shi Family.

"The Shi Family of the Inner Sect’s calculation cultivators?" Wang Zijia asked, surprised.

Gu Yuebai nodded with a complicated expression, saying, "It should be Junior Brother Shi Xinyu. He walked this path forty years later than me, but now he’s one step ahead!"

"Among our generation (a hundred years), there were some with a reputation, earning the title of Ten Taoist Children. Now, five of them are gone, three have become God Monarchs, leaving only me and Luo Feilin from the Luo family trailing behind."

’Trailing behind? You seem to misunderstand this term!’

The world of geniuses and ordinary people is truly different. It’s a confession that probably sounds a little extravagant to outsiders.

Luckily, Wang Zijia does not belong to that group.

His thoughts racing for a moment, he paused slightly, changing the subject, "The Shi family seems destined to have three God Monarchs."

"Yes, if they produce a Primordial Spirit Great Cultivator, they can advance to the top clans of the Inner Sect." Gu Wenhe, from the Ascension Hall, interjected.

Wang Zijia: "·······"

You should just say, if an Earth Immortal comes out, the sect will be theirs!

Could people from your Gu family be more reliable when speaking? At least be somewhat grounded, stop floating in the sky, okay?

Several people remained silent for a moment, then Gu Wenhe suddenly asked Gu Yuebai, "When have, you decided your breakthrough time?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia unwittingly glanced at Gu Yuebai.

"Probably in the next three to five months, my sword embryo still needs some work; some things are not yet ready." Gu Yuebai’s response was noncommittal, his words hinting as he stole a glance at Wang Zijia.

"Boom!"

At this moment, after half a moment of brewing, the thundercloud finally dropped its first thunderbolt.

Shi Xinyu’s way of Crossing Tribulation was completely different from Xu Yuyu, bearing no resemblance, not at all like a Calculation Cultivator.

The moment the first Thunder Tribulation fell, strange beads began to gush out of Shi Xinyu’s body. The beads were greyish-brown, smaller than a pigeon’s egg, hollow, and flat at both ends, resembling a column-shaped pigeon egg missing its round tips.

The beads flew out swiftly, filling the sky in the blink of an eye forming an unusual array map.

Looking at the array map, Wang Zijia felt it was strange.

"Shi family’s Five-Origin Calculating Spirit Chapter, has he already advanced it to the Fourth Stage? It seems this Thunder Tribulation presents no challenge." Gu Wenhe murmured, looking at the unusual array map formed by the beads.

Gu Yuebai shook his head, "Not just the Fourth Stage. There are 105 beads, all of top grade. He’s using this Thunder Tribulation to create the Shi family’s top calculation treasure–Heavenly Calculation Plate!"

"Among the Ten Children of our generation, it seems Junior Brother Xinyu is becoming the most talented one!"

"Are you saying that Senior Brother Shi is expected to encounter the Forty-Nine Thunder Tribulation?" Gu Wenhe asked, his expressions moved.

"Very likely!" Gu Yuebai casually replied.

Listening to their conversation, even Wang Zijia, who had read quite a bit of material, felt the gap in knowledge at this moment.

Beyond home-field advantage, it was mostly due to his short cultivation time and exposure to limited core circle materials.

At the same time, he finally understood why he found the array map strange—it was a giant abacus missing its frame!

The one hundred and five calculating beads flickered. As the thunderbolt descended, it jumped between the beads, subtly connecting the beads to form a skeleton of the abacus.

Shi Xinyu was actually using the Tribulation to refine Thunder Tribulation into his Innate Life Magic Treasure!!!

How outrageous!

"Boom boom!"

The thunderbolts fell one after another, turning from red to orange, then to yellow.

Countless arcs of electricity jumped between the beads. Amid the swaying thunderlight, the thunderbolts gradually connected the beads, forming a strange abacus with a skeleton of thunderbolts.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise accompanied the descent of a blue thunderbolt, marking the Tribulation’s transition from three nines to the realm of Four Nines.

In the next moment, under the stunned eyes of everyone...

Shi Xinyu, who had been sitting quietly in the Tribulation Crossing Platform, suddenly flew up, charged up into the sky above the thunderlight-shrouded abacus, and rushed straight into the thunderclouds.

"Come back, fool!"

"We should never have agreed to his breakthrough these days!"

At the top of the mountain, the two God Monarch ancestors of the Shi family’s faces convulsed and they both shouted in rebuke.

Shi Xinyu turned a deaf ear, plunging into the dark thundercloud that was pressing dangerously low.

The people in the sky watched, some baffled, some admiring, and some totally dumbfounded.

"Incredible... In the clan, quietly killing same-generation competitors, suppressed all his life, accumulated but never able to erupt, died filled with resentment."

"Now, at the time of Crossing Tribulation, he rockets into the sky, plunges into the thunderclouds, refining countless thunderbolts into magic treasures, this is truly the life of a protagonist!"

Watching this scene, Wang Zijia felt a slight stir in his heart.

One day, he too, will have such talent!

And that day is not too far away!

"Boom boom!"

As if it had been enraged, the Tribulation emitted a burst of blue light, and several thunderbolts struck one after another without rest.

The entire dark sky was illuminated by blue light.

After eight consecutive thunderbolts fell, the thundercloud rolled and contracted again. Just as everyone thought it had entered the Five Nine stage, the last blue thunderbolt fizzled and slowly dissipated haphazardly.

Not a few people secretly heaved a sigh of relief!

A somewhat dishevelled figure of Shi Xinyu emerged, unsteadily flying towards the top of Wanyu Peak.

The two God Monarch ancestors of the Shi family immediately flew up to catch him.
