Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 620 - 284: The Twelve Bizarre Tribulations of the Celestial Tribulation

Lin Xuankong, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but look at the Communication Jade Token. After seeing that its content was indeed as Little Crane Ancestor had said, his expression subtly changed.

Currently, Lin Xuankong had already reached the tenth level of Perfection and was about to prepare to consume the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill and face the Celestial Tribulation. Because he had consumed a Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object and condensed the Sixth Celestial Vein, the Celestial Tribulation he was about to face was certainly different from the tribulation an ordinary Transcendence Realm Cultivator had to endure.

In this situation, the experiences of the other Earth Immortals in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect who had undergone the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Tribulation offered Lin Xuankong little that he could draw upon.

However, the tribulation experience of this genius disciple from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, whom Little Crane Ancestor mentioned—since she had also consumed a Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object and condensed the Sixth Celestial Vein—could indeed be useful. This was something Lin Xuankong could pay attention to.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuankong immediately spoke, "Two years ago, the Five Elements Immortal Sect did lead the Seventy-six Immortal Sects against our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. However, after that great battle, the Five Elements Immortal Sect, then the foremost Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty’s Western Region, seems to have set an example. They often offer extra materials in tribute. Moreover, in the past two years, they have made many significant concessions to our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect in various aspects, even ceding several resource-rich dynasties under their jurisdiction to us. In these respects, the Five Elements Immortal Sect can be said to have thoroughly mended its ways!"

Little Crane Ancestor nodded repeatedly upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s words, saying, "Tributor Mu’s words are quite true. The Five Elements Immortal Sect actually had a very good relationship with our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect in the past. It was only after the passing of our Sect Founder that the relationship gradually became distant! However, during the great war between the Immortal Realm and the Profound Yin Demon Sect, the Five Elements Wanderer of the Five Elements Immortal Sect fought side by side with Little Sui, Little Qing, and Little Cang, forming a life-and-death camaraderie. Unfortunately, that muddle-headed Five Elements Wanderer coveted Tributor Mu’s Artifact Refining skills and led the Seventy-six Immortal Sects to pressure our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect into handing over Tributor Mu, resulting in a resounding slap in the face! For the past two years, the Five Elements Immortal Sect has practically emptied its coffers to curry favor with our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, making considerable amends. But the most crucial factor remains Tributor Mu’s attitude. As long as Tributor Mu doesn’t hold a grudge, the people of our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect naturally won’t keep harping on about what happened two years ago!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "In that case, let’s agree to the Five Elements Immortal Sect’s request. After all, in the past two years, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er and my wife Lii Xiaolan have refined a significant number of Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills. Giving them one isn’t a big deal! As for Immortal Artifacts, our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect has plenty. We can let them borrow some, provided they offer sufficient compensation!"

The Great Crane Ancestor nodded its crane head at Lin Xuankong. "Tributor Mu is indeed broad-minded, no ordinary person. Such a forgiving nature alone is enough to command respect!"

Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but laugh. "Crane Ancestor, please don’t praise me so much; it’s somewhat embarrassing!"

Beside them, Little Crane Ancestor cackled, "Old Great Crane, are you recently trying to suck up to Tributor Mu to get your hands on an Immortal Artifact or two? If you ask me, old things like us shouldn’t be competing with the younger generation of our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect for resources. If Tributor Mu has any spare Immortal Artifacts, they should naturally go to Little Li and Little Cang!"

The Great Crane Ancestor replied with a solemn face, "I, Great Crane, have lived for tens of thousands of years and have never flattered anyone. It was true in the past, and it is true now. What I just said about Tributor Mu came from the heart; it was the absolute truth. Where was there any flattery in that!"

Little Crane Ancestor, upon hearing this, cackled again, its crane beak kept opening and closing!

These two Crane Ancestors always maintained the dignified air of their status before the other Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. When had they ever been as lively as they were now before Lin Xuankong, showing absolutely no sign of their usual listlessness!

Clearly, in the presence of this Tributor Mu, who had brought such earth-shattering changes to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, these two Crane Ancestors seemed to have rediscovered the feeling they once had when following the Sect Founder of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect...

A moment later, the two Crane Ancestors and Lin Xuankong slowly flew towards the Second Spirit Peak of Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

As they flew, Lin Xuankong looked at the Great Crane Ancestor and asked, "I heard the two of you mention just now that you have seen more than one cultivator who has condensed the Sixth Celestial Vein. If so, you must have also witnessed such a cultivator undergoing a Celestial Tribulation, right? I wonder, what are the differences between the Celestial Tribulation for a cultivator with the Sixth Celestial Vein and that of an ordinary cultivator?"

The Great Crane Ancestor, while drifting along, preened its snow-white feathers with its beak. Hearing Lin Xuankong’s question, it pondered for a moment before replying:

"Since Tributor Mu has already cultivated to the tenth level of Perfection, you should have already researched some matters concerning Crossing the Celestial Tribulation in our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.

"Crossing the Celestial Tribulation is a danger that Transcendence Realm Cultivators must face to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Generally speaking, the power of the Celestial Tribulation increases with the cultivator’s strength. The stronger the Immortal Techniques and talent of the cultivator, the more terrifying the Celestial Tribulation they will face after consuming the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill, and the more varied its types will be.

"For instance, Ancestor Li, our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Sect Founder, faced the Gangfeng Tribulation back then—one of the so-called Twelve Great Marvel Tribulations of the Immortal Realm!

"At that time, I was merely a Tier Eight Little Demon. Unable to assist Ancestor Li, I could only watch helplessly as he struggled beneath the terrifying Nine Heavens Gang Wind. That Gangfeng, also known as the Wind of Annihilation, could cause all treasures to rapidly decay. Even Tier Nine Spiritual Artifacts, after being stripped of all their True Qi by the Gangfeng, would rapidly decay, becoming dilapidated and even disintegrating on the spot!

"Ancestor Li had prepared a full twenty-eight Tier Nine Spiritual Artifacts and had even borrowed another twelve Tier Nine Spiritual Artifacts from Daoist friends with whom he had good relations. Yet, under the devastation of the Wind of Annihilation, each Tier Nine Spiritual Artifact only lasted for a few breaths before becoming damaged and shattering on the spot. Fortunately, Ancestor Li had once, by a stroke of luck, saved a powerful Earth Immortal from Central Earth of the Central Divine Dynasty. As a result, he received a First-Grade Immortal Artifact and an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact as gifts from him!

"Relying on that Initial Tier Immortal Artifact and the First-Grade Immortal Artifact, along with a massive amount of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, Ancestor Li managed to hold on for a full hour, surviving the Gangfeng Tribulation, one of the Twelve Great Marvel Tribulations. Consequently, tempered by the Gangfeng Tribulation, he formed a powerful Gangfeng Immortal Body, which granted him a significant enhancement to Wind Element Immortal Techniques!

"And this is just the Gangfeng Tribulation; it’s not even considered the most terrifying Celestial Tribulation!"

This Great Crane Ancestor, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, when recounting the scene of Ancestor Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect crossing his tribulation, a deeply human-like expression of apprehension appeared on its crane face.

Lin Xuankong’s heart stirred at this. He had personally witnessed Little Bodhisattva Yikong undergo his Celestial Tribulation. Although that tribulation was reportedly far more ferocious than that of an ordinary cultivator, it had only lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Yet Ancestor Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had actually endured his tribulation for a full hour?

So the time one needs to endure the Celestial Tribulation also varies?
