"How many more?" Feng Xue asked, her brows creased in a worried frown.

"Forty-three." Yin Shi said, also looking concerned.

"There are too many people around." Feng Xue started and transmitted to the rest.

[Ordinary cultivators can’t interfere with other people’s tribulation. The surrounding people will realise that there is something off about us if we help Shen Xu carry the tribulation.] She said.

[Master is a level ten body cultivator, but the purple tribulation is too fierce. He can’t carry it on his own.] Yin Shi said.

[My true body...] Li Wenqiang muttered in an excited voice.

"You are right." Yang Shi exclaimed, but changed to voice transmission when he realised he had spoken out loud in his excitement.

[Your real body is an immortal tower and should be able to protect master.] He said, and Feng Xue nodded before speaking.

[It’s troublesome to expose an immortal weapon, but it’s better than letting our master suffer alone or exposing ourselves.] She said.

After that, Li Wenqiang urged Shen Xu to take out the immortal tower, and the double didn’t hesitate.

Soon after, a nine-storey tower appeared above his head, and Shen Xu sighed in relief.

"I thought I was going to die." He complained and hurriedly swallowed three level nine healing pills.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan clenched his hands but didn’t say anything.

Zhen Yuan could enter Shen Xu’s tribulation area without aggravating the heavens.

He could even absorb the excess lightning without being struck to death.

However, he knew that the tribulation was necessary for Shen Xu’s future, so he forcibly suppressed the instinct to coerce the heavens to go easy on the double.

’Forty-two more.’ He thought and clenched his hands.

At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to check the surroundings and couldn’t help but sigh in exasperation.

Zhen Yuan chose the abandoned mine because there was no one around. Most importantly, the nearest town or city was quite a distance away.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xu’s tribulation was too abnormal, and the clouds stretched so far that it attracted people from far away.

’This is troublesome.’ Zhen Yuan thought and tilted his head with a helpless expression.

A moment later, he turned and nodded to a puppet.

Soon after, the puppet flew south and slapped a group of six cultivators.

Seeing the large palm, the cultivators tried to run but couldn’t escape the puppet’s qi intimidation and were directly slapped to death.

"This is the result of even thinking of interfering with my partner’s tribulation." A voice echoed in the surroundings, and several people shuddered.

"Ancestor Zhen is too terrifying." Someone whispered.

"We are here to gain some insights from the tribulation. It won’t be our turn unless we disturb senior Shen’s tribulation." Another said.

"I have never seen purple lightning before. What does it mean?"

"I heard senior Xiao and senior Zhu of the Hanging Garden sect undergo golden tribulation, but I have never heard of the purple tribulation."

"I have also never heard of it, but it should be of a higher level than the golden tribulation. Look at how fierce it is."

"Senior Shen is also strange. How dare he cross two subsequent tribulations? Is he worried that he has lived too long?"

"He easily crossed the first one, but the second is fiercer. He even had to take out a weapon. Wait..., the weapon..."

"It’s actually an immortal weapon." Someone shouted.

At the same time, a person flew out and rushed towards Shen Xu.

Similarly, several others flew towards Shen Xu, unleashing attacks as they went.

However, in their excitement and greed, the cultivators forgot that Shen Xu was crossing a tribulation.

Sensing the intruders, the clouds grew darker, and countless lightning bolts fell from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning bolts struck Shen Xu and all the cultivators that had entered the tribulation area.

Fortunately, the Nine Heavens tower could withstand the lightning, so Shen Xu was protected, but the intruders were directly turned to ash.

Seeing this, everyone who was ready to move immediately calmed down.

"It’s amazing that senior Shen Xu can withstand this purple lightning for so long." A male cultivator said, looking at the double with one part admiration and another part greed.

"Do you think senior Shen can keep this immortal tower?" Another asked.

"It depends on how many tribulation transcending realm ancestors will arrive here before the tribulation is over."

"Don’t forget that senior Shen has senior Zhen and several tribulation transcending realm guardians. It won’t be easy to rob them." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Many cultivators have been secretly and openly searching for Senior Shen’s group. The group will be in trouble if those people arrive before the tribulation is over."

"Should we be standing here? Aren’t we positioning ourselves to be the grass when two monsters fight?"

"This fellow Daoist is right. We are only fusion realm cultivators and shouldn’t be near when tribulation transcending realm seniors fight. I will take my leave."

"I will also take my leave."

"I am not afraid of death, but my great-grandmother is about to give birth, and I must go to deliver the baby."

"You..., a big martial artist can also deliver a baby?" Someone snorted and quickly continued.

"That said, I am pregnant and need to give birth."

"A man can also get pregnant and give birth?"

In this way, countless spectators ran away, leaving a few brave souls who came from prominent factions and were accompanied by high-level cultivators.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and some spectators left, but more arrived.

"Master still has three waves remaining." Yang Shi said.

"They will probably do it after the last wave." Feng Xue said.

"Are we going to give up the spiritual rain?" Yin Shi asked with a frustrated expression.

After all, spiritual rain was a good thing, and no one was willing to give it up.

[There are still some formations that lord Zhen has not activated. He will activate them after the tribulation ends.] Yang Shi said and looked at the others with meaningful eyes.

[We can enjoy spiritual rain while hiding within a formation?] Yin Shi asked, and Yang Shi nodded.
