Chapter 791 - 0446 Yun Qian Unable to Overcome Tribulation (Combined in One)

"Oh, what’s going on with the sky?"

The lady in splendid robes waiting inside the room exclaimed in surprise as she gazed at the daytime scene outside the window.

Behind the screen door of the room, Li Zhibai first looked at the virtual thunder tribulation outside the window, which seemed unable to descend, and then glanced at the short skirt in his arms, raising his eyebrow slightly.

Let’s put the matter of the tribulation thunder aside for now, though it carries Wen Li’s aura, she can roughly sense what has happened from the aura.

She would later get detailed information from Tong Jun.

Right now, it’s clear... the matter of the skirt is more important.

"Daoist, what has happened to the sky? It’s quite... quite a terrifying thing." The splendidly dressed lady, instinctively afraid, turned to inquire the "monk" behind the screen.

"It’s nothing, it won’t fall." Li Zhibai replied.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"That’s right, with Pingniang around." The lady in splendid robes laughed and said playfully, "The Daoist is also an extraordinary person, after all, a friend of Pingniang."

"..."

——

Yun Qian is not afraid of thunder, Xu Chang’an is sure of this, though occasionally she might be in a bad mood, it’s just from being woken from a dream by the thunder’s noise.

It’s rather amusing.

After all, seeing Miss Yun being a bit pouty due to being woken up is quite a rare occurrence.

Very adorable.

Worried... he was not worried at all.

Firstly, the system hadn’t indicated any crisis, and although Xu Chang’an had complicated feelings towards the system now, he would still choose to trust the system first in such matters.

Besides, this is Beisang City.

Xu Chang’an, being a part of the Steward Hall at Muyu Peak, knew Beisang City was part of the Chaoyun Sect’s great formation, and given the sect itself wasn’t far away, he wasn’t concerned over a mere blood virtual tribulation thunder.

Thus, when Xu Chang’an noticed the daytime scene outside the window while holding a kitchen knife, his first reaction was curiosity.

Is it... a celestial tribulation?

He gently opened the window, watching the lightning dart across the sky.

Is there a senior about to undergo the tribulation?

Xu Chang’an scrutinized the celestial thunder in the sky and felt that it was far inferior to what he had seen at Celestial Bright Peak.

The time at Celestial Bright Peak, dark clouds lit up like daylight, making one worry the tribulation thunder might devour the entire peak in an instant... though when it actually descended, the thunder halted before him like a white beam connecting heaven and earth, peaceful and gentle.

But at least, the tribulation thunder had initially fulfilled its intimidation with torrential rain and flashes, casting a shadow over the entire Chaoyun Sect. The thunder later drew all sorts of attention to Celestial Bright Peak, demonstrating how remarkable the celestial tribulation was.

As for now...

"So small." Xu Chang’an remarked without realizing.

Yes.

It’s indeed very small.

Though the sky is also filled with rolling lightning and currents of electricity, for Xu Chang’an, the difference is akin to a mighty dragon versus a small minnow in a pond.

It seems tribulations indeed vary in levels.

Xu Chang’an, while quickly slicing ingredients, glanced at the lightning outside, shook his head slightly, and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He had foolishly underestimated this petite tribulation thunder because he’d seen grander ones.

Does he have the right to belittle it?

It’s crucial to realize that without a certain level of cultivation, one can’t even see this tribulation.

Those capable of undergoing tribulations are genuine strong beings who can summon the power of heaven and earth, immeasurably superior to someone like him.

Thinking it over, Xu Chang’an understood where his disdain stemmed from.

Momentum.

He absolutely couldn’t sense a hint of threat or momentum from the thunder in the sky, it felt more like drawings of lightning by children rather than actual thunder.

This non-threatening sensation gave Xu Chang’an the illusion that even if the thunder did strike near him, it wouldn’t harm a hair on his head.

How peculiar...

How could he entertain such thoughts?

After pondering for a while, Xu Chang’an thought maybe it was because Heavenly Dao wouldn’t harm the innocent, hence... only those who triggered the tribulation or needed to undergo it could feel its terrifying momentum.

As an outsider like him, naturally, isn’t within the tribulation’s influence.

Actually, whether it’s the tribulation thunder from his previous life’s understanding, or what he’d learned in Miss Yun’s study room, or even from the storytellers in Beisang City discussing tribulation thunder... it should all be more formidable.

Thus, the preconceived notion was that celestial tribulation ought to carry immense momentum, arriving with heaven’s authority, dismantling everything beneath the tribulation...

But in reality...

One must admit, this so-called tribulation thunder really isn’t intimidating at all. Even the Heaven-Reaching White Jade Purple Thunder that made the entire Chaoyun Sect tense only felt gentle to Xu Chang’an, like a cuddly little cat.

Frightening?

No, even the pouting Yun Qian is scarier.

Stretching lazily, Xu Chang’an felt his curiosity toward celestial tribulations utterly dissipate after his second encounter with tribulation thunder.

Indeed, most of his curiosity in undergoing tribulations was satisfied during that thunder tribulation at Celestial Bright Peak, now he’s more concerned when seeing cultivators undergoing tribulations.

After all, Beisang City is mostly inhabited by ordinary people.

Witnessing such an unusual celestial event would surely incite panic among ordinary people...
