Chu Yuan's Tribulation Transcendence: The Ultimate Pit Comparison

Jiang Che teased and then left, leaving Jia Ling'er alone to overthink things.

Now, the barrier between the Nine Heavens and the mortal world had grown increasingly thin, and the revival of spiritual energy had fully begun.

An overwhelming surge of spiritual energy had made Blue Star incredibly abundant!

As for the technology of the mortal world, it had almost entirely become obsolete.

After several waves of spiritual energy resurgence, Blue Star's landmass had expanded wildly, nearly a hundred times its original size. With the planet's volume increased... all the satellites in the sky naturally came crashing down.

Technological civilization had effectively become a relic of the past, and the era of universal cultivation had fully arrived.

With the abundance of spiritual energy and the fact that nearly every inhabitant of Blue Star could now practice cultivation techniques without restriction, only two types of techniques were widely circulated. One was the "Human Emperor Scripture," practiced by over a billion people in Dragon Country, passed down by Jiang Che. The other was the so-called "Transmission Scripture," practiced by foreign races—though in truth, it was nothing more than the "Borrowed Robe Demonic Art."

And now, Jiang Che was preparing to go fleece some sheep again.

As for whose sheep? Naturally, it was the protagonist of destiny, Chu Yuan.

The speed of spiritual energy revival had accelerated, and the cultivation progress of the chosen ones had likewise quickened. With the addition of Blue Star's various secret realms, many had even begun undergoing the Divine Passage Tribulation in recent days.

Chu Yuan was among them. He had already reached the peak of the Shattering Heaven stage, and once he overcame the lightning tribulation, he would become a Divine Passage cultivator. With his numerous hidden cards, he wouldn’t even fear those from the Nine Heavens.

But unfortunately, with Jiang Che as a wildcard variable, no matter how heaven-defying Chu Yuan was, he could only obediently serve as Jiang Che’s cash cow—completely unaware of it, at that.

......

Chu Yuan was nervous!

Because he was about to face the Divine Passage Tribulation.

For some reason, ever since binding with the "Ironhead System," he had always felt like he was being watched.

Moreover, after obtaining the Ironhead System, he had become much more reckless. In the past, he would have lurked in the shadows, unnoticed. But now, he was forced to show off and act like a troublemaker every day.

Fortunately, he had grown accustomed to it and had gradually realized... that his life seemed incredibly tough—the kind where no matter how much he courted death, he just wouldn’t die.

Once, he had provoked a peak Divine Passage expert from the Nine Heavens and was beaten half to death, only to fall off a cliff and stumble into an ancient cave dwelling, inheriting the legacy of a Quasi-Emperor.

Every time he was on the brink of death, a mysterious force would help him turn danger into safety.

Over time, his courage grew. Just a few days ago, he had even offended a major clan from the Nine Heavens, which had sworn to destroy him.

"Ah, I wonder what my lightning tribulation will look like!"

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, sighing softly.

He had once witnessed the terrifying spectacle of Young Master Jiang’s lightning tribulation—a scene like the apocalypse, where even a single bolt contained enough energy to reduce him to ashes.

"But people are different," he reassured himself. "What kind of person is Young Master Jiang? A top-tier dual immortal physique, his cultivation likely already at the Martial God level. Someone so heaven-defying would naturally attract a super tribulation. I’m just a Chaos Physique—my tribulation won’t be nearly as terrifying."

At the mention of Jiang Che, Chu Yuan’s eyes filled with deep admiration.

Young Master Jiang... was peerlessly talented and possessed a heart of benevolence. All the cultivation resources at the Daoist Academy were provided by him, free of charge, without asking for anything in return!

Chu Yuan had once doubted whether Jiang Che might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing—a hypocrite with some grand scheme waiting for them. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

But now... with the Nine Heavens' network interconnected, they had learned just how incredible Jiang Che truly was.

Would the Azure Dragon Society of the Nine Heavens go to such lengths to scheme against mere ants like them?

Of course not! There wasn’t even a motive to do so!

"I hope this tribulation can help me refine a Postnatal Immortal Physique! Then I’ll have a dual immortal physique too!"

Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, gazing at the sky above.

Dark thunderclouds had begun gathering, with shadowy purple lightning dragons coiling within them—clearly, this was no ordinary tribulation.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Chu Yuan dead-on.

Just one strike sent him into ecstasy, his head smoking from the impact.

Unlike Jiang Che, Chu Yuan didn’t have a Lightning Evasion Talisman to protect him—he had to endure the full force of the tribulation!

"System! System, save me! Didn’t your shop have Lightning Evasion Talismans before? I want to buy! I want to buy!!!"

That single bolt nearly shattered his invincible Dao heart!

It hurt like hell!

He felt like he’d seen his ancestors—how the hell had Young Master Jiang remained so calm during his tribulation?

They were both human—how could the gap be so huge? Jiang Che’s tribulation had been over ten times more terrifying, yet he had faced it with utter ease, completely unafraid!

So now, he could only beg his almighty system for help.

[Ding! Host, please note: this system is called the "Ironhead System." The host is not to act like a coward.]

Chu Yuan: "......"

He was cracking up. This was life or death—the tribulation was about to take him out!

"Ahhh—!"

Another bolt struck, sending his body flying. But the guy must have been an athlete in a past life—he was shockingly resilient. Two lightning strikes still hadn’t killed him.

"System... please, I’m begging you, I’m going to die!"

The Chaos Immortal Physique’s tribulation was terrifying. If this were happening in the Nine Heavens, it would have been recorded in history books. But this was Blue Star.

And as the protagonist of destiny, Chu Yuan’s luck was unbelievably strong—the most formidable Jiang Che had ever seen, bar none!

Even though the guy kept screaming about dying, there was no way it would actually kill him.

"Heh, this kid’s got some skills."

Above the thunderclouds, a figure sat beside a pool of lightning, holding a white-haired little girl in his arms. He crossed his legs, watching as the pool of tribulation lightning grew deeper and deeper.

Chu Yuan’s tribulation had far exceeded Jiang Che’s expectations.

It was intense—really intense!

Recently, when his other women underwent their tribulations, he had used special effects to fake a Chaos Immortal Physique for them.

Their tribulations had been strong, but nowhere near Chu Yuan’s level!

"Could it be... the Heavenly Dao saw through my tricks?" Jiang Che stroked his chin, feeling a little guilty.

Before, he had always said the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star was deaf and blind—that it couldn’t see him blatantly fleecing people.

But now... it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Most likely, the tribulations his women had faced weren’t the real deal—Chu Yuan’s was the true tribulation of an Immortal Physique!

In other words... had the Heavenly Dao secretly gone easy on them?

For all he knew, the Heavenly Dao might be right beside him right now!

"Earth Listening—max it out!"

[Huff huff... I want to eat Master Jiang Che’s cooking... I want Master’s kisses...]

"Uh..." Jiang Che glanced at Dong'er in his arms.

Clearly, Earth Listening couldn’t pick up the Heavenly Dao’s thoughts.

Maybe the Heavenly Dao’s level surpassed Earth Listening’s capabilities.
