Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The thunderous noise that deafened the ears resonated throughout the heavens and earth. This round of Heavenly Tribulation had an unprecedented number of thunders, quite different from the past where the higher one's Cultivation, the fewer the thunders, such as the usual nine thunders for Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation.

For Chen Qiu's Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation, there were merely eighty-one thunders.

But—

At this moment, as the Heavenly Tribulation had just begun, hundreds of thunders had already struck down. From a distance, the scene was quite spectacular, and the oppressive force it brought could make many people's breathing unconsciously halt.

That's how it looked even from afar.

One can only imagine what it was like inside the Heavenly Tribulation, facing such brutality.

"..."

Under the vast expanse of thunderclouds, Chen Qiu stood amid the storm, letting thousands of thunders surge over him, making his body slightly numb. His body's resilience gradually increased, and under the entry "Thunder Technique Body (Supreme)," the power of the Thunder Summoning Technique also gradually increased.

A dazzling bright light obscured his eyes.

In front of him, except for the blinding blue-white light, there was nothing else. The quantity of this round of thunder was truly vast, almost countless, although its power was much weaker, not even comparable to the Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation he had just broken through to.

Each thunder was very weak.

He had always been using Heavenly Thunder to baptize others; this was the first time he was being baptized by Heavenly Thunder, and frankly, it felt a bit unusual.

Just then—

A malicious cold wind flashed through the thunders and struck heavily against his Protective Spirit Qi, making a sound like steel scraping across a glass board.

This was the Wind Tribulation!

There are many types of Heavenly Tribulations. Thunder Triulation is the most common and powerful, while Wind Tribulation and Fire Tribulation are rarer and less powerful. They rely on their odd natures to trouble many, encountered only by those with Void Refining Cultivation or higher, besides Thunder Tribulation.

All this time, his greatest reliance for transcending Thunder Tribulation had been the green entry "Merit Protection."

The more merit he had, the less damage the Thunder Tribulation caused.

This applies only to Thunder Tribulation, not Heavenly Tribulation.

So he had to withstand Wind Tribulation, Fire Tribulation, and such with his Protective Spirit Qi alone. However, their power was not great. Under the entries "Ten Layers of Spellcasting," "Nine-layered Spellcasting," "Triple Spellcasting," and "Dual Casting," his "Golden Light Protection" emerged dozens of times, firmly shielding him at the center, absolutely preventing any damage!

The entry "Merit Protection" is just a green entry, but it had been a great help throughout his journey. Entries cannot be judged solely by their level, as proved now; some white entries he was still using.

Including the green entry "Imperial Decree Regular," which had also been greatly helpful to him. Speaking of which, he somewhat missed his portable air conditioner "Resentful Spirit Summoning," regretting that he had destroyed it. As an initial sole combat entry, it should have been kept as a memento. That way, when he achieved greatness in the future, looking at this entry would remind him of his past.

...

Though this Wind Tribulation did not affect him, it seemed to have activated some switch, and suddenly—

Under countless thunders, Phoenix Tribulation, Fire Tribulation, and Heart Demon Tribulation surged forth!

This was not his Unification Heavenly Tribulation.

It was the accumulation of eight rounds of Heavenly Tribulation for the nine small realms he had broken through during Void Refining. They should have occurred during each breakthrough, but for some unknown reason, they had gathered and struck together now, continuously booming above not far from the Heavenly Palace.

While not a Unification Heavenly Tribulation,

its power was already comparable to some people's Unification Heavenly Tribulation.

After a thousand breaths,

the thunder gradually subsided, the Tribulation Clouds slowly dispersed, and the residual force of the thunder and lightning also gradually disappeared. Only the storm did not stop. Instead, it grew even more ferocious, as if celebrating the birth of a new deity, or as if displaying its fury for being ineffectual.

It was clear.

The Heavenly Dao truly wanted to strike Chen Qiu dead, which is why it had accumulated the Heavenly Tribulations together. But... such Heavenly Tribulations were mere itch-scratchers to Chen Qiu.

It could even be said to be all gain and no harm.

Under the entry "Thunder Technique Body," the power of his Thunder Summoning Technique increased significantly, enhancing his overall strength quite a bit.

"Huff..."

Chen Qiu, suspended in the air, pulled out his Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella from his bosom, raised it over his head, and gazed toward the horizon. He very much liked rainy days. In the storm, the whole world seemed cleansed.

The distant forest roared under the storm.

The treetops trembled wildly.

It gave a sense of the world on the verge of destruction, but for some reason, he especially liked the storm, feeling an ultimate peace.

The heavier the rain, the louder the wind, the more peaceful he felt. It was a peace that came from deep within.

After transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, the storm should have dispersed, as it was driven by the Heavenly Tribulation. With the tribulation gone, naturally, there would be no more rain. The current storm was the result of his activating the Thunder Summoning Technique.

Perhaps this was the meaning of cultivation.

Apart from the elusive eternal life, the ability to create weather that fits one's mood at the right time also had its significance in cultivation, at least for him.

Chen Qiu chuckled softly to himself and walked on air towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace, a small episode ended—it was time to go home.
