Chapter 227 - 227: 5: Spiritual Mountains Thunder

Immortal Calendar 865.

April 7th.

A pitch-black thundercloud appeared above the Spiritual Mountains, and the rumbling sound of it brewing could be heard by all the Immortal Sect disciples around the Spiritual Mountains.

It spanned thousands of li, an overwhelming force that drew the attention of all the Immortal Sects. Many ancestors opened their eyes and looked towards the summit of the Limitless Immortal Sect.

A third of the Spiritual Mountains was shrouded in thunderclouds, rendering people insignificant before the might of the tribulation. “Who’s making a breakthrough?”

“Can anyone really survive such a terrifying tribulation?”

Among the three thousand Immortal Peaks of the Limitless Immortal Sect, countless disciples looked up at the thundercloud above the central Immortal

Peak.

“That’s the location of Limitless Peak, it’s the Sect Hierarch!”

“What? The Sect Hierarch made a breakthrough!”

Many disciples of the Limitless Immortal Sect were shocked by the rapid progress of the Limitless Immortal Sect’s cultivation, which was unexpected.

At the same time, they became anxious, fearing unexpected changes.

The Sect 1–lierarch’s cultivation was the pinnacle of the Immortal Sect, situated above the Metamorphosis Stage, hidden for a hundred years, unconcerned with worldly affairs, and preserving the Refining Emptiness realm without crossing the thunder tribulation.

If the Immortal Cultivation World has levels, then the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch belongs to the highest tier among them.

If he could break through the thunder tribulation, then the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch could cross Refining Emptiness and be known as a half immortal.

But if he couldn’t, they dared not think of the consequences.

Such an outcome would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Limitless Immortal Sect.

“The Sect Hierarch’s cultivation is profound and immeasurable, having lived for thousands of years. His techniques are extraordinary and will surely be alright,” whispered a disciple wearing a bagua-patterned Taoist robe.

Not just him, but many disciples of the Limitless Immortal Sect, whether inner or outer sect, as well as True Disciples, were comforting themselves in their hearts.

However, in the next second.

An extremely horrifying scene appeared before their eyes.

The originally pitch-black thundercloud turned crimson, and the rolling tribulation cloud spread out around it. The blood-red tribulation seemed to be choosing its victims, its breath even more terrifying than before!

“Boom!”

With a thunderous sound that shook heaven and earth, the terrifying tribulation finally descended like a dragon-snake, extending from the ends of heaven and earth, shining brilliantly as it came into the world, with a power that seemed capable of destroying everything.

The intense lightning and the oncoming aura of destruction forced many disciples to close their eyes.

Only a few people could see the elder’s silhouette on the Immortal Peak, illuminated by the lightning.

Under the might of the heavens, it appeared lonely and desolate.

However, the elder did not remain unmoved. Instead, he stretched out his hand towards the sky.

In an instant, the spiritual qi in a ten thousand li radius was drained, forming a giant vortex that surged towards the elder. Suddenly, a majestic old man’s figure emerged from Limitless Peak, towering between heaven and earth. This was the Refining Void Primordial Spirit, which could summon the power of Heaven and Earth when awakened.

But even such an imposing Immortal figure was shattered in a moment by the blood-red tribulation.

“Crack! ”

A crisp sound echoed through heaven and earth as the tribulation pierced through the heavens and earth like a needle. It aimed straight for the elder at the summit of the mountain.

Facing death, the elder greeted it with a smile, saying lightly: “The cause and effect that I owe is too great.”

In the end, the desolate figure still perished under the tribulation.

Not a trace of his remains could be found.

This lightning illuminated the Spiritual Mountains and also the Mortal World.

Xu Muchen, the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect’s mortal world, suddenly realized something and raised his head. His face and breath had not changed much compared to a year ago, but they had become sharper.

He clearly saw the boundless formation on top of the Spiritual Mountains crack open, as the spiritual qi between heaven and earth was all drawn away.

Xu Muchen hurriedly stood up, looking in the direction of the Spiritual Mountains, and mournfully shouted:

“Sect Hierarch!”

“Farewell…”

Beneath the three thousand Immortal Peaks, many disciples cried out in grief toward the summit.

“Sect Hierarch!”

For a moment, the entire Limitless Immortal Sect was engulfed in a heavy, grief-stricken atmosphere.

In the end, the Sect Hierarch was defeated.

Even the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch, the first amongst the Immortal Sect, couldn’t break the shackles of the past eight hundred years.

But no one had the qualifications to ridicule him.

The thunder tribulation on the Spiritual Mountains was too massive, and the moment it happened, it was known by all the Immortal Sects.

The news of the Sect Hierarch wanting to break the Maha Stage, open the road to ascension, and perish in the tribulation immediately spread.

In an instant, the entire Immortal Cultivation World was shaken!

Under the ginseng fruit tree in the Eternal Taoist Temple.

The Master of the Eternal Taoist Temple, clad in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a White-bearded Duster, had a look of regret in his eyes.

“This is the fate of the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“Master Lord, why do you say that?” asked a cute girl with a round bun hairstyle, puzzled.

Master of the Eternal Taoist Temple shook his head, pinched his beard, and sighed, “In these eight hundred years, no one except Ancestor Yan Zu could reopen the road to ascension, and isn’t that fate?”

“Call your Senior Brother back, there’s no need to guard this door anymore.”

“Yes.”

At the same time, atop the thousand-year snow mountain in the Immortal Palace Cluster.

The master of the Exquisite Palace wore an elegant palace dress, looking at the location of the Limitless Immortal Sect. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she lamented:

“Limitless, you still went. All the karma you’ve accumulated has turned into heavenly tribulation. ‘All debts will be paid, and the time has come’. This threshold is too high, too big, and neither you nor I can cross it.”

Then, she ordered her female disciple:

“Gather the Eight Hundred Swordsmen of the Immortal Palace and prepare for battle.”

At the Little Lingyin Temple.

The worshippers at the temple were all informed to leave, and no more were accepted.

In the spacious hall, many monks gathered.

“Abbot, what should we do? The fall of the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch is not only detrimental to the Limitless Immortal Sect but also an immense blow to the entire Immortal Sects, ” said a Half-Sleeve Arhat with a solemn expression..
