Chapter 24: To Survive the Thunder Tribulation
Time passes and the cold winter is gone.

The weather is no longer as cold as in winter, and it is beginning to feel a little warmer. Spring is slowly returning, and in some remote places in the world, spring thunder has already sounded, awakening the dormant earth to life.

More than ten days have passed since Ye Tianming taught Hong Yi and others the two scriptures of the past and the present.

During these days, the pure fox clan did not move, and Hong Yi did not go back to Wuhou Mansion. A group of people stayed in the West Mountain to practice the Amitabha Sutra to improve their spiritual realm and practice martial arts to condense their bodies.

Among these people, the one who made the greatest progress in practicing the Amitabha Sutra was not Bai Ziyue, who had the strongest Taoist skills, but Hong Yi and Ye Tianming, who had just started practicing Taoism.

Because the others have already made great achievements in Taoist practice and have their own Taoist foundation, they need time to use the Great Buddha to replace the "God" they visualized little by little, so the progress is naturally slower.

On the other hand, Hong Yi and Ye Tianming, because Hong Yi had just started practicing and his own spiritual foundation was not yet established, he was able to visualize the great Buddha of the past very easily. Under the guidance of Ye Tianming, he comprehended a hint of the immortal charm of the past and reached the realm of day travel.

Ye Tianming had never practiced the Taoist magic in the universe, so his foundation in Taoism was blank. Coupled with a series of enhancements to his soul, his strength was comparable to that of a ghost immortal who had experienced four or five thunder tribulations.

After Ye Tianming broke free from the state of unity with the divine stone, his spirit, fetus and body, his soul naturally cultivated into a ghost immortal based on the past Amitabha Sutra. Moreover, his soul was not as gloomy as those of others, but was full of masculine energy.

The soul is not afraid of facing the heavenly thunder, and the power of the Amitabha Sutra in the past is contained in the soul. The soul is so tough that even the Creator needs to spend some effort to tear it apart, and it can only be refined by burning his own essence.

At the same time, Ye Tianming cultivated a divine bridge in the sea of ​​suffering during these days, and built a divine bridge that led directly to the other side. He refined the blood of the demon emperor hidden in his body and raised his physical strength to a higher level again.

……

In a wild area somewhere in the universe, all you can see is a vast primeval jungle, towering peaks, countless rivers interweaving, and thousands of wild and exotic species lurking under the earth, waiting for the complete arrival of spring.

The environment of this wild area is different from the cold winter in Yujing City. The earth is full of warmth, and the drizzle falls thinly. The air is full of moisture, and tender grass dotted the ground.

The gray dark clouds in the sky stretch for thousands of miles. Between the interweaving of yin and yang, there are rumbling thunders, which convey the thundering meaning of destruction and creation, awakening the hibernating animals.

In the thunderclouds, lightning danced like dragons and snakes. Balls of lightning as big as boulders kept colliding and merging, and then exploded continuously, forming countless tiny thunders that fell to the ground.

The group of people standing under the dark clouds could clearly feel the will of the universe in the thunder, shocking all things. Their souls trembled slightly in their bodies. Except for Ye Tianming, no one's soul dared to leave the body.

Otherwise, when the thunder sounds, the thunder of the universe will spread down from the sky. Without the protection of the body, the powerful destructive will in the thunder will be enough to shatter the souls of ghosts and immortals who are under the thunder tribulation.

For those who have just cultivated to the out-of-body state, their soul may even be directly destroyed by the will of thunder, turning them into a living dead without a soul, and their physical body will die in a short time.

……

"Brother Tianming is about to survive the thunder tribulation. Ziyue would like to congratulate you in advance."

"Passing the Thunder Tribulation, this is a realm that my grandfather has been practicing for a hundred years but still hasn't reached. Today, I can finally see the birth of a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal. I must show off to him when I go back." Beside Ye Tianming, Bai Ziyue, Hong Yi and others were chattering. These people came to observe the process of Ye Tianming passing the Thunder Tribulation, so as to gain experience in passing the Thunder Tribulation.

Ye Tianming did not respond to their words, but was adjusting the state of his mind and soul. He wanted to go into the thunder tribulation in the best condition to fight the thoughts of heaven and earth, and strive to survive multiple thunder tribulations at once.

When the others saw Ye Tianming's appearance, they knew that this was Ye Tianming's most critical moment, so they stopped talking to disturb Ye Tianming from adjusting his state, and stood on one side to protect Ye Tianming.

To prevent others from calculating that someone is undergoing a thunder tribulation, and taking advantage of Ye Tianming's weak period after the thunder tribulation, they could capture and refine Ye Tianming's soul and thoughts to enhance their own magic power.

After Meng Shenji had survived eight thunder tribulations, he was so weak that he couldn't even think. Even a ghost immortal who had just survived a thunder tribulation dared to join forces with others to hunt him down.

In the end, Meng Shenji was forced to flee to the Middle Thousand World outside the Great Thousand World to recuperate. This is enough to show how terrible the weak period after surviving the thunder tribulation is.

……

Ye Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground, mobilizing all the essence and blood in his body. The blood of the Demon Emperor hidden deep in his body was slowly mobilized to replenish the yin with yang and nourish the soul.

The powerful essence and blood constantly cleansed the soul. The soul was replenished with essence and blood, and gradually condensed, starting to condense from the virtual image into a physical body.

From virtual to real, a statue of Amitabha Buddha from the past with the same appearance as Ye Tianming was formed. The Buddha was so powerful that even the Martial Saint could not tell that it was a spiritual body, and could only think that it was a physical body of a human immortal level.

In the past, the Buddha was wearing a cassock made of thousands of starlight, emitting brilliant golden light, like a Buddha statue made of pure gold, eternal and unmoving, and indestructible.

"Boom!"

The Great Buddha of the Past jumped out from Ye Tianming's body, bursting out with brilliant Buddha light. Under the influence of the Great Buddha of the Past, countless profound Buddhist scriptures appeared in everyone's eyes, and countless chanting sounds appeared in their ears. Everyone's original difficulty in making progress in the Past Amitabha Sutra actually made a slight improvement.

"Everyone, I'm going to go through the thunder tribulation first. After I'm through it, I'll come back and tell you about my experience."

The giant Buddha from the past that Ye Tianming transformed into opened his mouth in mid-air, then turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the clouds in the sky.

After Ye Tianming's soul left his body, the divine stone spirit fetus actually stood up on its own and instinctively scanned everything around it, exploring anything that posed a threat to Ye Tianming.

Once someone approaches the area where Ye Tianming is undergoing the thunder tribulation without permission, the divine stone spirit fetus will automatically rise up and carry the Qing Emperor's ultimate imperial weapon to attack the enemy.

"Brother Dao's divine stone spirit fetus is so miraculous that it can protect itself when the soul is going through the thunder tribulation. In this way, there is no need to worry about the protection problem. I was originally worried about what to do when Brother Dao is going through the thunder tribulation and an expert who has gone through the thunder tribulation comes to attack. Now I don't have to worry about this problem."

After hearing Ye Tianming's story, Bai Ziyue knew that the body in front of him was the spiritual fetus of the divine stone. Feeling how powerful the spiritual fetus of the divine stone was, he couldn't help but feel envious.
