I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

"We're leaving the secret realm today. Get ready, as you're likely to improve your cultivation level once you're out there, especially Yi Ge. Take another inventory of the items you need to withstand the lightning tribulation, so don't forget them in the chaos."

Su Chengdian muttered to himself, "This is the fourth time Master has mentioned it." Master is good in every way, but he's just too worried about them. They're not children; they're all fine.

The three of them smiled upon hearing this. Luo Suichen subconsciously looked at Chu Chenmu, who was not embarrassed or annoyed by his disciple's teasing, but sat to the side with an indulgent expression.

Luo Suichen sighed softly. He was increasingly willing to believe that Chu Chenmu's mood was just off that day. As long as Chu Chenmu was willing to take back what he said, he would treat him as an ordinary disciple, just like before.

Luo Suichen finally regained his composure, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Chu Chenmu was gentle, a warmth he himself was unaware of.

The time was almost up. Chu Chenmu felt his body gradually becoming lighter, and many points of light were enveloping him. A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and after a brief dizziness, he opened his eyes again to find everything outside was a vast expanse of white.

They came out.

Before anyone could react, dark clouds loomed overhead—thunderclouds over Tian Yige's Core Formation stage.

"Go to a more open area and be careful."

Chu Chenmu only had time to give one instruction before grabbing Luo Suichen and Su Chengdian by the back of their collars and leaping away from Tian Yige.

During the tribulation, it is most taboo for others to lend a hand, as this will cause the power of the lightning tribulation to increase to an outrageous level. Standing within the range of the thunderclouds will be considered as helping, so Chu Chenmu quickly took his two disciples away and stood in a place with a clear view, leaving the two behind to observe.

Luo Suichen flipped over lightly and stood steadily on the ground, even managing to reach out and help Su Chengdian up; he was clearly an expert.

Su Chengdian glanced at Luo Suichen in surprise, then looked at Chu Chenmu with a wronged expression. Before he could speak, he sensed the spiritual energy within his body frantically pushing against his cultivation level. His face lit up with joy, and he sat down cross-legged. He was about to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Luo Suichen did the same; both of them sat cross-legged in meditation. Chu Chenmu confirmed that Tian Yige's tribulation was not a problem, and when he turned around, he saw that the two of them were about to break through as well.

No one noticed him. Chu Chenmu finally stopped maintaining that poker face that he thought he had perfected every day and smiled happily.

He truly is a responsible and good master. He chose a training ground where all three of them were able to break through! The only pity is that Tian Yige was about to form her core before reaching the Xuanbing Pool, so it was no longer suitable for her to have her spiritual power stimulated by the Xuanbing Pool. Otherwise, the Xuanbing Pool would have been of great benefit to her.

The tribulation was swift; only eighteen lightning bolts struck the Golden Core stage, and it was over in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Chu Chenmu lightly touched the ground to Tian Yige's side, looked at the little girl with her face charred black, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After carefully sensing her condition, he found that Tian Yige's breathing was steady, indicating that everything was going very smoothly. He did not disturb her and let her continue to digest and absorb the tribulation lightning in place.

The tribulation of lightning is a challenge, but it can also be considered an opportunity, especially for cultivators with the lightning attribute. It contains pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but its attributes are violent, and absorbing it requires a certain amount of courage and time.

Chu Chenmu waited for a whole day. The next day, Su Chengdian woke up first and excitedly told Chu Chenmu the good news: he had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment! At the late stage of Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty, no wonder he was the person who could become the next leader of Wuji Sect in the original plot. Such a speed of cultivation is indeed something to be happy about.

That evening, Luo Suichen also opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Su Chengdian finally had someone else to share with. He walked up to Luo Suichen in a few steps, cleared his throat, and then spun around in place. "Junior Brother, Second Senior Brother has some good news to tell you—" He then gestured to Luo Suichen to continue.

Luo Suichen was quick to understand: "What good news?"

"I've reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"

Luo Suichen lowered his eyes, then raised them again, looking at Su Chengdian, who was in high spirits, with some hesitation. Then he opened his innocent eyes and looked at Su Chengdian: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, I've also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

The two sentences together were undoubtedly extremely damaging to Su Chengdian.

He was genuinely happy for his junior brother's rapid progress, but... if he remembered correctly, his junior brother was almost two years younger than him, and the title he hadn't even warmed up yet—the title he had given himself as "the fastest person under Chu Chenmu to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage"—was about to be passed on to his junior brother.

He said listlessly, "Congratulations, junior brother..." and Su Chengdian lost all his previous joy, encouraging himself in his heart.

He must not have worked hard enough. He should go to his master's room again at night and ask his master to give him extra help!
