"What are you trying to do?"
Chan Miao was shocked. This fella couldn't have really listened to him and wanted to challenge him after Zhao Qi successfully passed the tribulation, right?
It's good that you want to complete the test earlier, but you can't be so impatient.
Haste makes waste. Not only will you not be able to eat, but you might even lose your life.
"Help me tell your grandfather that if Zhao Qi successfully passes the tribulation, I want to challenge him. As long as I defeat Zhao Qi, he has to let me pass the test. Also, help me ask about the rules and restrictions of the challenge," Su Chen said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Chan Miao looked at Su Chen in disbelief.
"If I ask you to go, then go. Don't talk nonsense."
"You, you, you …"
This fella is definitely crazy!
Chan Miao had no choice but to walk in the direction of the Great Elder.
At the same time, the first lightning tribulation also descended from the sky.
Looking at the roaring thunder, the power was astonishing. However, in Su Chen's eyes, the power of this thunder tribulation was actually very ordinary. It was even weaker than the power of the thunder tribulation when Kong Miaoyin was going through the tribulation. It was even more incomparable to the power of the seven-colored divine thunder that Su Chen had experienced.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Qi withstood three lightning tribulations.
His physical body was indeed incomparably strong. Without using any means, he withstood three lightning tribulations head-on. It only left some charred marks on his body. It couldn't even be considered a superficial wound.
At this moment, Chan Miao returned to Su Chen's side.
"Grandfather said that if you really want to challenge, he can be the judge. The prerequisite is that Zhao Qi accepts this challenge."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Zhao Qi is more than happy to do so."
"En. With so many experts present, even if he breaks through to the Sea Reincarnation Realm, he has no reason to make a move on you. Even if he uses force to suppress you, he can't cause any substantial harm to you. But if you take the initiative to challenge him, it's a different situation. Even if he kills you on the spot, he doesn't have to bear any responsibility."
"It's the same for me." Su Chen smiled faintly.
Chan Miao shook his head. He couldn't even be bothered to argue with Su Chen. He continued, "But don't worry. Grandfather promised me that he would not watch you die. If Zhao Qi really wants to kill you, he will stop him in advance. Grandfather still thinks highly of your potential. But he was too impatient. Impatience is a great taboo for cultivators."
"Nonsense again."
Su Chen said, "Tell me, what other rules and restrictions are there?"
Chan Miao shook his head. "Aside from calling for reinforcements and using the Divine Rune Talisman, you can use any other medicinal pills or magic treasures. There are no other rules or restrictions. You don't even need to defeat Zhao Qi. As long as you can last ten moves against him, your name will shake the world. If you can fight to a draw with Zhao Qi, then all the major powers in the world will do everything in their power to poach you away. The Holy Land will also do everything in their power to keep you here. If you can defeat Zhao Qi … then you will become the new Holy Son of the Holy Land. The trillions of followers of the Three Purities in the world will have to sincerely worship you when they see you. They will see you as the representative of the Three Purities."
"Sounds pretty good."
Su Chen grinned. It seemed like this challenge was inevitable.
"Boom boom!"
The heavenly lightning continued to descend. When it reached the seventh lightning tribulation, Zhao Qi no longer dared to be careless. His Desolate Physique once again exploded with power. He used his fists to resist the boundless divine might of the heavenly lightning.
When it reached the eighth lightning tribulation, Zhao Qi's arms exploded like a tree being struck by a bolt of lightning.
When it reached the ninth lightning tribulation, half of Zhao Qi's body almost disappeared.
But Zhao Qi still managed to survive the heavenly tribulation. His aura began to change qualitatively. A powerful life force bloomed from his sea of consciousness, rapidly repairing his body. In the blink of an eye, he returned from a state of near death to his peak.
"I did it!"
Zhao Qi roared with joy.
Even if it was him, he didn't dare to guarantee that his tribulation would be a hundred percent successful. If there was a slight mistake during the tribulation, he might be consigned to eternal damnation.
Since ancient times, experts were as common as carps crossing the river. Even if one was a prodigy expert, there were countless cases of them dying during the tribulation. Anyone who was undergoing the 9-9 great tribulation would have a slim chance of survival. There were simply too many cultivators who died at this stage.
Why were Sea Reincarnation Realm experts so rare and precious? It was because of the suppression of the heavenly tribulation. If it wasn't for the heavenly tribulation, any cultivator with a little aptitude would have a chance to break through to the Sea Reincarnation Realm as long as they worked hard enough. But in the face of the powerful heavenly tribulation, countless people would have a change of expression. If a cultivator didn't have enough confidence in themselves, they wouldn't even be able to muster up the courage to cross this heavenly chasm.
In this world, there were many cultivators who took the initiative to give up on cultivation after reaching the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. Instead, they would try their best to enjoy life. This was because they were clear of their own strength. If they didn't undergo the tribulation, they might only have a lifespan of a thousand years. But if they underwent the tribulation, it would mean death.
Most of the Reincarnation Realm cultivators who were over 500 years old had already given up on challenging the tribulation. This was the consensus in the cultivation world.
Only when a cultivator reached the peak of the Reincarnation Realm before the age of 500 would they barely have the qualifications to challenge the tribulation.
Only cultivators who were under 300 years old would have a higher chance of successfully challenging the tribulation.
Cultivators who started the tribulation before the age of 200 were already considered rare geniuses.
Cultivators who were under 100 years old and could challenge the 9-9 great tribulation were already outstanding talents in the various major factions.
As for Zhao Qi, he had only challenged the most severe 9-9 great tribulation and even succeeded!
Once he stepped into the Sea Reincarnation Realm, he would be like a carp that leaped over the dragon's gate and transformed into a dragon!
"Good disciple, my good disciple!"
Wang Lu walked over with a beaming smile and patted Zhao Qi's shoulder heavily. "You were able to successfully undergo the tribulation. Master's painstaking efforts weren't wasted. Don't worry, I can agree to the matter that you mentioned to me previously."
Zhao Qi was overjoyed. "Master, you finally agreed to marry Junior Sister Zi Ying to me!"
"What?"
Wang Ziying quickly came to Wang Lu's side. "Grandfather, how can you decide for me without permission? Senior Brother Zhao Qi is indeed very powerful after breaking through the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, but Zi Ying doesn't like Senior Brother Zhao Qi. Zi Ying has the ability and the qualifications to find a better man. Young Master Jun Hao of the Divine Heavens Sect is Zi Ying's sweetheart!"
"Don't mess around!"
Wang Lu's face turned serious and frowned. "I have made up my mind. You just wait to get married. Don't think about Jun Hao. The Divine Heavens Sect and our Three Purities Sect are at odds. If you mention Jun Hao again, be careful or I will lock you up in the Secluded Pavilion!"
"No …"
Wang Ziying's face was filled with pain.
Zhao Qi frowned slightly. "Zi Ying, what's so good about Jun Hao? Why are you so obsessed with him? Although my current strength isn't as good as him, as long as I am given some time, I will definitely be able to represent the younger generation of cultivators in the sacred ground and trample him under my feet. Since you admire the strong, why do you have to look so far?"
"Shut up! You are not allowed to speak ill of Young Master Jun Hao. You are not even fit to carry his shoes!"
