Inside the Pure Yang Hall of the Donghua Divine Palace, Lu Xin patiently waited as Ji Yue meticulously straightened his clothes. After meeting everyone in the Divine Palace, he would be leaving.
"Having cultivated to the peak of the lower realm at the age of one hundred and eleven, I will quickly reach a certain level of cultivation and return to you," Lu Xin softly comforted her, noticing her deliberate slowness.
"I'll wait for you," Ji Yue said, forcing a smile as she looked at him.
A pang of heartache struck Lu Xin. After embracing her for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, took her hand, and walked out of the hall.
"Grandmaster," Murong Xin, who was standing guard outside the hall, immediately bowed upon seeing Lu Xin and Ji Yue emerge.
Lu Xin turned to look at him, sighing, "You've reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In the end, I couldn't fulfill my promise to leave after you reached the late stage and possessed a lifespan of two thousand years."
"Grandmaster has already given me more than enough. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have even been able to cultivate to the Golden Core realm in this lifetime. I'm already very content with being a Nascent Soul cultivator now."
Hearing this, Murong Xin was also overcome with sorrow. Recollecting the past, it seemed like only yesterday that he was leading Lu Xin to familiarize himself with the situation of the Seven Luminaries Sect.
Lu Xin sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing more, instructing him to lead the way.
Soon, Lu Xin led Ji Yue to a massive plaza, where everyone from the Donghua Divine Palace, including those from the branch palaces, had gathered. They faced the high platform at the head of the plaza, not uttering a single sound.
Lu Xin ascended the high platform, with Ji Yue standing beside him.
"We pay our respects to the Palace Master!"
Led by Shangren Xuan Cheng, nearly a hundred thousand people performed a grand salute in unison upon seeing Lu Xin's appearance, their movements perfectly synchronized, their voices shaking the heavens.
"Rise," Lu Xin's calm voice reached everyone's ears.
"Thank you, Palace Master!"
Everyone stood up, still remaining silent, only directing their gaze towards the imposing figure at the head of the platform.
They only knew that their Palace Master was very strong, but they had no concept of how strong, so they wanted to try their best to see him clearly.
Lu Xin didn't speak immediately, his gaze sweeping across the crowd below. The first ones he saw were his disciples: Li Jingxuan, Yuan Yunjian, Hu He, Long Muxue, and others.
He could see the reluctance on their faces.
Then there were the elders: Yunhua, Xuan Cheng, Tai He, Qian Yuan, and others.
Finally, there were the disciples within the palace, most of whom he didn't recognize, but he still looked at each one of them.
After looking at them for a while, he finally spoke, "You've all been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, the elders immediately took the lead in replying, "Reporting to the Palace Master, not long."
"It's good that it wasn't long."
Lu Xin took a few steps forward and slowly said, "Time flies. On the path of cultivation, there's Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core… Now, I've reached the peak and am about to ascend to the Upper Realm. In the future, without me guarding the palace, you all must cause less trouble and strive harder!"
"We respectfully obey the Palace Master's teachings and will certainly cause less trouble and strive harder!"
Seeing this, Lu Xin nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, it's time for me to leave. I hope that when I return again, I will see you all still here."
"Palace Master!"
"Master!"
A group of elders and disciples couldn't help but call out, their faces showing reluctance and other emotions.
Lu Xin sighed towards the sky. To be honest, he didn't want to leave either, but even Human Immortals had a limit to their lifespan. He wanted to take advantage of the time he had to reach a higher realm as soon as possible and then return to guide them.
"The reason I summoned you here today is to let you see what a tribulation is, what an immortal is, and also to warn those with malicious intentions on your behalf!"
At this moment, his whole body was bathed in golden light, and everything within tens of thousands of miles was visible in his eyes.
At this moment, all the strong felt a sensation, as if they were being seen through.
"Palace Master!"
Everyone in the Divine Palace couldn't help but call out to that god-like figure again. They seemed to feel a world-destroying power, but there was no fear, only a sense of security.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Xin didn't delay any longer, but finally turned to look at Ji Yue, his golden eyes full of reluctance.
"I'll wait for you," Ji Yue smiled slightly.
Lu Xin couldn't help but smile slightly as well, and then turned his head back with peace of mind, before transforming into a golden ray of light and soaring into the sky.
"It's starting!"
Outside the Divine Palace, all the strong saw the golden light soaring into the sky, their eyes full of anticipation.
"Hmph, I want to see how strong you are!" Ao Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the golden figure.
Soon, the wind and clouds surged above the golden light, and a force of thunder was rapidly gathering, followed by strong winds within tens of thousands of miles, and an invisible pressure enveloped down.
Everyone quickly circulated their mana to resist.
"It's coming!"
Everyone stared at the clouds, and soon saw the clouds changing color, first white, then cyan, blue, dark, and purple.
In the end, the color of the clouds settled on purple.
"Purple, it's actually Purple Light Divine Lightning!" Everyone was shocked to see this.
Generally, Divine Lightning Tribulation is divided into five levels, namely White Light Divine Lightning, Cyan Light Divine Lightning, Blue Light Divine Lightning, Dark Light Divine Lightning, and Purple Light Divine Lightning, among which Purple Light Divine Lightning is the highest level.
Those who can attract this kind of Divine Lightning are all super terrifying existences. It can be said that this is the world's recognition of the strong.
However, the danger is also increased as a result.
"This is troublesome. I wonder if the Pure Yang Holy Venerable can withstand it!" Everyone wasn't too surprised that Lu Xin could attract a high-level lightning tribulation. The only surprise was that he had attracted the highest-level lightning tribulation.
"Yes, according to records, this Purple Light Divine Lightning is also known as Annihilation Purple Lightning, and there has never been a record of anyone passing it."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Xuanji Daoren and others who were extremely close to Lu Xin naturally looked worried.
Ao Xuan snorted coldly. He was also extremely surprised that the other party could be so strong as to attract Purple Light Divine Lightning, but he sneered in his heart. No one understood Purple Light Divine Lightning better than him.
Because their dragon clan once had an ancestor with rare Golden Dragon blood who attracted it. There were three strikes in total, and the first strike seriously injured him, and the second strike directly turned him into ashes.
He didn't think the other party could withstand it.
"Are you worried about him?" On the other side, Immortal Baihua looked at Xu Shenmeng.
Xu Shenmeng nodded.
Immortal Baihua said, "Don't worry, his golden body should have reached the tenth transformation long ago. Purple Light Divine Lightning won't hurt him."
"That's good," Xu Shenmeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I guess this Spirit Realm might not like me very much."
In the air, Lu Xin looked at the clouds. He didn't expect to attract Purple Light Divine Lightning, but he didn't care. He didn't need to undergo tribulation to ascend at all.
The reason he did this in public was to deter him one last time.
Moreover, this Purple Light Divine Lightning looked only slightly stronger than the Nine Heavens Gang Wind. He didn't take it to heart.
"Crack!"
The clouds completely turned into a thick purple color, as if they had accumulated enough. A purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket fell on Lu Xin without warning, submerging him.
"The first strike has fallen!" Feeling a huge pressure, everyone held their breath and waited for the result.
Soon, the purple light dissipated, and a golden figure appeared. Compared to before the lightning struck, there was no change at all, and it remained motionless.
"How is that possible?"
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, their faces full of disbelief.
They didn't expect that under a strike of Purple Light Divine Lightning, Lu Xin didn't even use a defensive spiritual treasure and withstood it, and still looked unharmed.
"It's time," Lu Xin wanted to maximize the deterrent, so naturally he wouldn't just take the beating, but show his unparalleled strength.
However, the speed must be fast, and he must rush before the Spirit Realm rejects him.
"Drink!"
With a soft shout, Lu Xin's body suddenly rose thousands of feet, then clenched his fingers into a fist and actively blasted towards the thunder tribulation.
Boom!
Along with a deafening roar, a fist force soared into the sky, followed by a burst of "crackling" sound. Wherever the fist force passed, the void couldn't withstand it and shattered. Finally, the fist force reached its destination and blasted the tribulation clouds away, leaving only a black hole in place.
"This is shattering space!" Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight.
"Everyone, I'll wait for you in the Upper Realm!" Just as everyone was stunned, the huge figure looked at them and then disappeared.
"What realm is he in?" After a long time, everyone recovered from the shock.
"He can scatter the tribulation clouds and shatter space. No one has ever done that before, right?"
"Immortal, he must have become an immortal long ago!"
Everyone discussed, shocked.
"Was that look just now a warning? Did he sense my malice?"
Ao Xuan's face was solemn. Just now, he felt a great sense of oppression. Although it was only for a moment, he felt that if the other party intended to, that look alone would be enough to kill him.
Not daring to stay any longer, he quietly left.
Xuanji Daoren stroked his beard thoughtfully, then looked at the void in the air that was automatically repairing, and muttered to himself, "This is the power of an immortal. The Upper Realm is waiting for me."
Then he disappeared in place.
"Let's go. It should be our turn next time," Immortal Baihua said to Xu Shenmeng.
On the other side in the dark, Tu Shan Danyue breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to her cold expression, glanced at the Donghua Divine Palace, and turned to leave.
But after a while, she walked back and went towards the Donghua Divine Palace.
Inside the Divine Palace, Ji Yue walked towards the secret chamber with a somewhat empty heart. Seeing this, the elders didn't dare to go forward to comfort her, so they had to order people not to disturb her.
