My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Transcending tribulations and becoming an immortal is the dream of every cultivator.

However, the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is an insurmountable chasm between dreams and reality, causing countless cultivators to die with regret.

During the tribulation, eighty-one bolts of lightning rolled in, each containing earth-shattering power. A slight mistake would result in the soul being scattered and eternal damnation.

Tang Qingying looked at Chu Lengyu, who was about to face the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, and earnestly reminded her: "The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is the tribulation of an Earth Immortal, and it is no small matter. You must not try to hide somewhere and get through it safely, as you did before. You must personally experience these eighty-one tribulation lightning bolts in order to temper your body into that of an Earth Immortal and achieve the supreme Dao."

At this moment, Tang Qingying's feelings were extremely complicated.

On the one hand, she guessed that although Chu Lengyu was exceptionally talented in his cultivation, there was also an element of taking shortcuts in his progress.

Whether Chu Lengyu can successfully overcome this extremely rigorous Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation remains to be seen.

On the other hand, Tang Qingying had other doubts in her heart.

She suspected that Chu Lengyu was a pawn planted by some powerful being, and that there might be a more complex conspiracy behind it.

If that's the case, unexpected changes may occur during this crucial Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

She can only take one step at a time.

However, Chu Lengyu's mindset did not seem to be affected by the tribulation.

These past few days, she has been making targeted preparations for the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, going all out and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, the diary system remained as generous as ever, offering substantial rewards and providing her with a great deal of assistance.

Elixirs and elixirs, everything imaginable, are available.

Body Tempering Pill, Meridian Protection Pill, Spirit Condensation Pill, Soul Protection Pill, Mind Purification Pill, Enlightenment Pill... all kinds of pills are top-grade to assist in transcending tribulations.

Chu Lengyu took the pills one by one, hoping to increase her chances of success during the tribulation.

In addition to elixirs, all kinds of auxiliary magical treasures have been prepared in great detail, ready to play their due role as soon as the tribulation of lightning arrives.

In addition, she had prepared several sets of formations to weaken the lightning tribulation, all of which had been carefully calculated to ensure that they would be foolproof.

The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is a challenge that occurs every nine lightning strikes. Once it begins, there is no turning back.

To avoid being disturbed by outsiders, Chu Lengyu deliberately chose a desolate, abandoned planet to prepare for this life-or-death test.

Above the desolate planet, the wind howled and yellow sand filled the sky.

Standing alone beneath the vast sky, Chu Lengyu knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for her, a matter of the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty, and a matter of whether she could truly step into the realm of Earth Immortals and achieve the supreme Dao.

On this day, the sky above the abandoned star suddenly became extremely gloomy, with dark clouds rolling and obscuring the entire firmament.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Chu Lengyu stood tall and straight, her expression resolute.

"The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, let it begin!" Chu Lengyu murmured softly, her voice revealing an undeniable resolve.

With her eyes closed, she felt the surging power of lightning between heaven and earth, and an unprecedented surge of heroic ambition welled up in her heart.

As her voice faded, the dark clouds in the sky grew even more turbulent, with streaks of lightning flashing and leaping within them.

The first bolt of heavenly lightning had quietly condensed, radiating a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble, as if it would tear the entire desolate planet apart.

Tang Qingying stood at a distance, gazing into the direction of the rolling tribulation clouds, a hint of worry barely concealed on her face.

The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake can lead to death and the annihilation of one's cultivation.

"I hope she succeeds," Tang Qingying said softly, a hint of envy in her voice.

Due to a mutated physique, her aptitude was already capped at the seventh level of perfection, and she would never be able to advance any further in this lifetime.

Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Chu Lengyu could create a miracle.

The first stage is the physical body tempering tribulation.

Chu Lengyu stood alone atop the mountain, with the sea of ​​clouds churning beneath her feet and the pitch-black tribulation clouds overhead, which pressed down on the heavens and earth, causing them to change color.

Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her long, ink-black hair danced in the breeze.

Her gaze was firm and calm, and the bloodstain between her brows appeared particularly alluring in the light of the lightning.

In her hand, the blade of the Lone Sword gleamed with a faint, cold light, as if it were about to be drawn at any moment.

As the clouds of calamity surged, the first bolt of azure lightning suddenly struck down.

She did not dodge, but stood there quietly, letting the lightning strike her shoulder after being weakened by the array and the protective aura.

Lightning raged through her body, threatening to tear her flesh apart completely. However, Chu Lengyu gritted her teeth, circulated her internal energy, and her spiritual power surged like a river, rapidly repairing the flesh and bones torn apart by the lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the second lightning tribulation arrived, even more ferocious and violent than the first.

But Chu Lengyu showed no fear. Her body gradually became tougher under the tempering of lightning, and a faint golden light appeared on the surface of her skin, as if she were plated with a layer of golden armor to resist the attack of lightning.

The third, fourth, and fifth lightning tribulations fell one after another, each one more violent than the previous one, but Chu Lengyu withstood them all.

Her physical body grew stronger under the baptism of lightning, and impurities within her body were gradually removed, making her flesh and blood crystal clear, like a flawless piece of jade.

However, when the sixth lightning bolt struck, Chu Lengyu's left arm bones finally couldn't withstand it, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

But she didn't panic; instead, she quickly swallowed a Body Refining Pill.

The medicine flowed through her meridians, and her shattered bones quickly reassembled, regaining their vitality.

Body-refining cultivators are a minority; for most cultivators, their physical body is their weakness.

It's normal that Chu Lengyu, having only a short period of cultivation, has one or two shortcomings.

However, the physical body is the foundation for longevity and an indispensable dwelling. Therefore, the first test of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is the test of body tempering.

The seventh lightning bolt transformed into an electric snake that coiled around her, launching a fierce attack.

Chu Lengyu formed a hand seal, and an ice armor appeared on her body, weakening the power of the tribulation lightning.

Electric snakes tore at the ice armor, sending ice shards flying.

The moment the final bolt of lightning shattered the ice armor, Chu Lengyu had already absorbed all the remaining lightning power and made it her own.

After being tempered by this tribulation of lightning, her physical body has reached a completely new level.

She felt the immense power surging within her body and thought: Her progress in body tempering has been remarkable. It seems that what Tang Qingying said was true. This Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is both a challenge and a tempering process.

After undergoing body tempering, Chu Lengyu's confidence in surviving the tribulation increased even further.

The second stage is the tribulation of meridian expansion.

Before she could react, the dark purple tenth tribulation lightning bolt pierced into Chu Lengyu's crown chakra without pause.

She let out a muffled groan, her body trembled, and blood instantly oozed from her seven orifices, making her look particularly gruesome.

This lightning tribulation was no longer simply a destructive force, but contained a strange power that rushed straight into her meridians.

The lightning tribulation, like a sharp blade, pierced her delicate spiritual energy channel, forcibly expanding it to more than three times its original size.

Chu Lengyu's meridians expanded continuously under the impact of lightning, as if they were about to explode, and the speed of spiritual energy circulation also suddenly accelerated, like a river bursting its banks, surging and turbulent.

"The expansion of my meridians is the perfect opportunity for me to break through!" Chu Lengyu thought to himself.

Having already made preparations, she immediately guided the power of lightning to flow through her meridians.

Guided by her, the power of lightning traveled along her meridians, widening them wherever it passed and making the spiritual energy increasingly abundant.

However, the power of lightning was too violent, and even Chu Lengyu's resilient meridians began to show slight cracks.

Her brows furrowed, her pain evident, but her hands moved swiftly, taking out a precious meridian-protecting pill from her storage ring and swallowing it without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm yet powerful force that rapidly repaired her damaged meridians.

Even so, the speed at which she channeled the power of lightning still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the purple tribulation lightning fell.

One lightning tribulation after another struck, as if to completely engulf her in this sea of ​​lightning.

"The fourteenth one!" Tang Qingying, who was watching from the sidelines, nervously counted the number of lightning tribulations, feeling a pang of worry for Chu Lengyu.

Just then, the ice armor suddenly exploded into pieces with a "bang," scattering all over the ground.

Chu Lengyu's veins were bulging all over his body, and he was in danger of exploding.

She immediately took out a rare, ancient Ganoderma lucidum and crushed it violently without hesitation.

The amber-colored sap from the Ganoderma lucidum instantly seeped out and penetrated her skin.

Miraculously, the turbulent meridians were quickly calmed down, and a thin crystalline film covered her skin, slowly repairing her damaged body.

When the eighteenth lightning bolt struck, Chu Lengyu was already prepared.

She deliberately channeled the lightning into her Ren and Du meridians, enduring the intense pain of being tempered by the lightning.

Her body trembled and twisted in the lightning, as if it were being torn apart, but she gritted her teeth and persevered without ever backing down.

At this point, every vein in Chu Lengyu's body was crackling with purple lightning, expanding to its limit!

Her spiritual energy circulation speed was more than ten times faster than before, and the spiritual energy in her body was as vast and boundless as an ocean.

Having undergone this tribulation, Chu Lengyu has been completely transformed and her strength has greatly increased.

The third stage is the tribulation of spiritual energy condensation.

The tribulation clouds overhead suddenly contracted into a blood-red vortex, like a gaping maw.

Standing beneath the tribulation clouds, Chu Lengyu felt her spiritual power begin to spiral out of control.

The nineteenth bolt of tribulation lightning struck down fiercely, instantly penetrating her dantian.

Chu Lengyu's spiritual power was continuously refined under the tempering of lightning, a process akin to ordinary iron being forged into steel.

However, the power of the tribulation lightning was too violent, and Chu Lengyu felt a sharp pain in her dantian, as if it were being torn apart by the violent lightning.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly.

Chu Lengyu dared not be negligent in the slightest, and quickly took out a precious spiritual medicine from her storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a powerful force that quickly stabilized her dantian and alleviated the tearing pain.

Even so, some of the spiritual energy was still running rampant within his body, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, charging around uncontrollably.

The jade hairpin in Chu Lengyu's hair shattered instantly under the impact of spiritual energy, and spiritual energy overflowed from her body, forming visible ripples of spiritual energy.

At this critical moment, Chu Lengyu decisively affixed a precious talisman to herself. The talisman shimmered with a mysterious light and quickly suppressed the rampant spiritual power around her.

At the same time, she quickly formed hand seals, and twelve spirit-sealing spells flew from her fingertips, like shackles, firmly locking in the overflowing spiritual power.

The spiritual energy formed a huge vortex above Chu Lengyu's head, and the twenty-fourth lightning tribulation was also guided by this vortex into Chu Lengyu's body, as if it were to become the final boost to her breakthrough.

As the final bolt of lightning struck down, Chu Lengyu actually unleashed her natal nascent soul.

The three-inch-tall ice jade figure, holding a spirit sword, stood facing the wind, its small mouth open in the face of the lightning tribulation.

A clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the world, and the nascent soul actually swallowed the filtered lightning into its belly!

The fourth level is the tribulation of tempering the soul.

Within those calamity clouds, nine golden vertical pupils suddenly opened, their cold pupils swirling with ancient lightning patterns, like the judgmental eyes of the Heavenly Dao overlooking all living beings.

"boom--"

Nine bolts of tribulation lightning simultaneously pierced the sky, actually condensing into nine soul nails in mid-air, directly piercing Chu Lengyu's sea of ​​consciousness!

Chu Lengyu felt an indescribable, excruciating pain surge through her.

The soul-suppressing treasure in her sea of ​​consciousness shattered under the impact of the lightning tribulation with a crisp yet desperate cracking sound. After the cracking sound, it split in two, its light dimming.

Deep within her consciousness, nine soul nails pierced the vital points of her three souls and seven spirits, each nail's tail extending with chain-like lightning patterns, binding her firmly.

Below, a raging inferno of karmic fire was burning fiercely, with each flame revealing the causes and effects of her past and present lives.

Chu Lengyu trembled incessantly under the impact of the lightning, her soul feeling as if it were being torn into nine pieces by this terrifying power, causing her unbearable pain.

"town!"

Chu Lengyu gritted her teeth and let out a low shout.

The spirit sword that had been with her for many years sensed its master's call and instantly transformed into a streak of light, carrying an incomparably sharp sword intent, slashing towards the soul nails.

Her soul was reconstituted in the fire, and the mark left by the plague god emitted a shrill scream before finally turning into a wisp of foul-smelling black smoke and disappearing without a trace, completely obliterated!
