“Brother Chu Feng, what’s with that look?”
“You don’t mean to tell me you don’t know about the Divine Thunder Tribulation?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu looked at Chu Feng in surprise.
“I… really don’t know.”
“Brother Shao Yu, what exactly is the Divine Thunder Tribulation?”
Chu Feng asked with a wry smile.
If not for Fu Mo Shao Yu mentioning it, he truly hadn’t heard of the term.
“You really don’t know?”
“Then have you actually cultivated the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique?”
Initially thinking Chu Feng was joking, Fu Mo Shao Yu’s serious response turned his surprise into disbelief.
“I’ve definitely cultivated the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique, that’s absolutely true.”
“But I genuinely don’t know about the Divine Thunder Tribulation.”
Chu Feng said.
“You’ve cultivated the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique and don’t know about the Divine Thunder Tribulation?”
“Did the person who taught you the technique not tell you?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu asked.
“No, please enlighten me, Brother Shao Yu.”
Chu Feng said.
“This…”
“Could it be that the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique you cultivated is incomplete?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu looked at Chu Feng with concern in his eyes.
“I… don’t know.”
Chu Feng shook his head but quickly added, “It should be complete.”
In truth, Chu Feng couldn’t be certain, but he believed his Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique was complete, largely due to his trust in his father and grandfather.
He trusted their abilities, confident they could have obtained the complete technique.
“Brother Shao Yu, what’s the deal with the Divine Thunder Tribulation?”
Chu Feng pressed, deeply curious.
“I don’t know much about heavenly bloodlines, just what my grandma told me.”
“So, let me clarify, what I’m sharing is hearsay. If it’s inaccurate, don’t blame me.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t blame you.”
Chu Feng assured.
“Normally, the Divine Thunder Tribulation doesn’t manifest.”
“But this thunder spring resonates with your bloodline, so it triggered a reaction.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you were just trying to break through.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said, looking at the thunder spring.
“Yes, I was trying to break through, and… I almost fell into qi deviation.”
“In fact, if you hadn’t called out to me, I would have.”
Chu Feng said with a smile, though filled with helplessness.
Since awakening his bloodline, breakthroughs had been relatively easy.
As long as he had enough world energy and a breakthrough opportunity, he could advance.
He rarely faced the struggle of ordinary cultivators, needing multiple retreats yet failing to break through.
But this time, he felt that pain.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown so anxious, losing his composure and nearly succumbing to qi deviation.
“That explains it. The Divine Thunder Tribulation caused the resonance with the thunder spring.”
“In simple terms, the Divine Thunder Tribulation is a barrier on your martial cultivation path. Breaking through it brings transformation.”
“There are nine stages of the Divine Thunder Tribulation.”
“Each stage is extremely difficult.”
“But encountering it requires more than just cultivating the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique. There’s another essential condition.”
“Talent.”
“At the very least, only those who’ve reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Thunder Platform encounter the Divine Thunder Tribulation.”
“The earlier it appears, the greater the talent.”
“I’ve heard that even the most gifted face it in the Supreme realm.”
“To encounter it in the Venerable realm marks you as a genius among geniuses.”
“Brother Chu Feng, your talent is terrifying.”
“No wonder the Ancient Devouring Beast wanted to swallow you.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said, patting Chu Feng’s shoulder, openly showing his admiration.
“So that’s it. No wonder I’ve been stuck.”
“It’s not just a simple realm barrier, but the Divine Thunder Tribulation.”
Chu Feng grew excited.
He had long realised his stalled cultivation was due to the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.
But he hadn’t expected the barrier to be so significant, nor that overcoming it would bring such benefits.
“The Divine Thunder Tribulation is a good thing, not something everyone encounters.”
“But breaking through it is no easy feat.”
“This thunder spring alone won’t help you.”
“You’ll need more cultivation resources tied to your heavenly bloodline.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said.
“So this thunder spring is useless?”
Chu Feng frowned, feeling it was a pity.
If he couldn’t break through, the thunder spring wouldn’t help much.
Yet, it was a rare treasure, and leaving it here would be wasteful.
If he could take it, even if he couldn’t use it, it would be valuable for the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Brother Chu Feng, I sense there’s another cultivation treasure beneath this spring.”
“I can’t pinpoint its exact location. Why don’t you check again?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said.
“There’s more?”
Chu Feng was surprised.
He had thoroughly examined the area with his Heaven’s Eye.
There shouldn’t be anything besides the thunder spring.
Had he missed something?
Since Fu Mo Shao Yu suggested it, Chu Feng didn’t hesitate and used his Heaven’s Eye again.
This time, his expression changed dramatically.
He was stunned to find a treasure deep underground.
A thunder bead, far more powerful than the thunder spring.
“Brother Shao Yu.”
Chu Feng looked at Fu Mo Shao Yu, his emotions complex.
If, as Fu Mo Shao Yu said, breaking through the Divine Thunder Tribulation required stronger cultivation resources, this thunder bead was practically made for him.
Unlike the thunder spring, the thunder bead could be taken, and it was undoubtedly valuable.
It could even spark bloodshed.
For heavenly bloodline holders, it was an extremely rare cultivation treasure.
But without Fu Mo Shao Yu’s reminder, Chu Feng would never have found it.
By rights, the thunder bead should belong to Fu Mo Shao Yu.
“You found it?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu looked at Chu Feng.
“I did. It’s a thunder bead, a supreme cultivation treasure tied to heavenly bloodlines.”
Chu Feng said excitedly.
