It turns out, they were the main characters.

Although he considered himself a genius, Ye Yu dared not and did not want to try whether he could withstand the tribulation of two or more people.

"Her tribulation won't attract any additional tribulations, don't worry." The old man's voice echoed in Ye Yu's mind.

"I've always wondered why her cultivation speed far surpasses that of those prodigies. Now it seems the answer has been revealed."

"What does the teacher mean...?"

“A person outside the rules of heaven and earth is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so the tribulation she undergoes is naturally not of the Heavenly Dao either… Or rather, she is deceiving the heavens to undergo the tribulation, so the difficulty of her tribulation will be much, much higher than that of others.”

"In short, even if you break in for a while, there won't be any problems."

"However, that little girl probably won't be so lucky..."

Ye Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously looked up and said, "What the teacher means is..."

"The lightning tribulation will not resonate with you, but everyone who enters the lightning tribulation... the lightning tribulation will resonate with the one undergoing the tribulation." The old voice was filled with profound mystery.

"This is its punishment for those who defy the rules of heaven and earth."

After a brief hesitation, Ye Yu stared at Wei Mengrou in mid-air and muttered to himself, "If that's the case, once someone notices the good stuff in the lightning tribulation and rushes in, wouldn't she be..."

Was it directly annihilated by the lightning tribulation?

"Perhaps."

"However, that's not what we should be focusing on, but rather..."

“I know, a sacred object born from a tribulation of lightning!” Ye Yu replied immediately, his eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation as he listened to the voices of the cultivators around him.

Boom!

At that moment, a sound that seemed to shatter the heavens resounded beneath the sky, and everyone's eyes instinctively turned to the sky.

Wei Mengrou stood with her sword on her back, her yellow dress fluttering in the wind. Within a hundred feet of her, it seemed as if sparks of lightning were faintly flying up.

This is a symbol that a tribulation of lightning is brewing.

"This tribulation seems different from the tribulations I've faced in the past... It seems to be targeting only this female cultivator?" After a brief observation, someone in the crowd immediately came to this conclusion.

“That’s right. If it were an ordinary cultivator undergoing tribulation, other cultivators who get close would attract new lightning tribulations… But now that we’re so close to her, we haven’t caused any lightning tribulations to resonate with her. It’s really quite unbelievable.”

As the group watched this scene, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves to those they knew well.

boom!

Another deafening roar echoed through the sky, drawing the attention of many cultivators to Wei Mengrou in the distance.

They all realized that... a lightning tribulation was brewing, and it was terrifying!

Beneath the sky, rolling dark clouds seemed to form a vast starry sky, and within those stars, a roaring thunder dragon was circling in mid-air.

Its shape was ferocious and terrifying, and it kicked up countless lightning fragments with a flick of its tail, while holding a pale white light bead in its mouth.

"The Qi of Heaven!" Almost everyone in the crowd blurted out.

Then, everyone's gazes became more fervent, their eyes filled with excitement.

Generally speaking, there is a very small probability that a divine artifact can be bestowed during a tribulation of lightning. However, the probability of a divine tribulation like Wei Mengrou's, which can produce a piece of heavenly Dao energy, is probably one in billions of people.

This is the protagonist destined by fate.

Despite the astonishing extent of her bad luck, there was indeed a celestial aura descending upon her during this tribulation.

At this moment, the thunder dragon suddenly opened its mouth, and the Heavenly Dao Qi fell out of its mouth. Along with the splashing thunder fragments, the Heavenly Dao Qi hovered above the thunder tribulation, emitting a deep and mysterious dark halo. At first glance, it had a magical power that made people unable to look away.

Huang Manting had arrived in this area sometime earlier. She raised her head slightly and gazed at the Heavenly Dao Qi in mid-air, her eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Meanwhile, the cultivators on the side were all eager to act, staring intently at the aura of heaven and earth, wishing they could rush forward and snatch it away.

However, they all knew that although Wei Mengrou's tribulation would not affect them, the first person to set off would inevitably be surrounded and attacked by the others.

Finally, a cultivator in a green robe could no longer bear the feeling of having a treasure right in front of him but only being able to watch it longingly. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Heavenly Dao Qi in mid-air.

At this moment, the saintess Tang Sufei, dressed in a blue dress, suddenly raised her hand and made a hand seal. A dazzling light, accompanied by a terrifying pressure, struck the green-robed cultivator who had taken the lead.

The green-robed cultivator had no choice but to stop. When he looked up, he saw Tang Sufei standing in front of him with a faint smile on her face: "Someone is undergoing tribulation right now. It's not very reasonable for you to barge in like this, is it?"

The green-robed cultivator frowned, staring at Tang Sufei with an uncertain expression. Then, he glanced at the Heavenly Dao Qi not far away and suddenly laughed, "If I remember correctly, the person undergoing tribulation should be a cultivator from the Eastern Continent, right? Why are you, a saintess of the World Sea, speaking up for the people from the Eastern Continent?"

Tang Sufei's expression remained unchanged as she smiled faintly, "I simply disapprove of your actions. Don't you know what will happen if you rashly intrude into the lightning tribulation area?"

Wei Mengrou's tribulation is quite special. If this green-robed cultivator were to enter, he would not encounter any interference from the tribulation, but the difficulty of Wei Mengrou's tribulation would increase exponentially.

Currently, Wei Mengrou is suspected of having some connection with the Primordial Witch. Even if it offends everyone present, Tang Sufei will not allow them to step into the room and interfere with Wei Mengrou.

However, the green-robed cultivator seemed to have heard a joke and suddenly laughed, "Miss Tang is indeed very righteous. However, you are blocking this way now, aren't you trying to obtain the Heavenly Dao Qi in the Tribulation Zone?"

"Furthermore," he said coldly, his eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness, "the affairs of my Eastern Continent are none of the business of other powers!"

"I think I'm not the only one here who thinks this way," the green-robed cultivator said, turning to look at the crowd behind him.

Although there was no response, some people couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"If Miss Tang insists on blocking our way, then we'll have no choice but to deal with you first before we distribute the Heavenly Dao Qi," the green-robed cultivator said sinisterly.

No one inside the room responded.

Although they knew that the green-robed cultivator was using them, weren't they also using the green-robed cultivator?

By forcing back the Holy Maiden of this World Sea, one will have the opportunity to seize that Heavenly Dao Qi...

Seeing that no one spoke up, the green-robed cultivator couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He then raised his hand and clasped his hands, saying, "Since Miss Tang does not intend to step aside, then I can only forgive my rudeness!"

"The people of the World Sea want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Eastern Continent? They're overstepping their bounds." Another sinister voice rang out from the crowd, secretly fanning the flames.

The previous attack on the Azure Emperor had already caused some friction between the various states, and these words only exacerbated the already tense atmosphere, making it even more volatile.

However, at that moment, a nonchalant voice suddenly rang out: "If the World Sea won't work, how about the Forbidden Zone?"

Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look, and were surprised to find that among them was Ye Qian, the pride of the forbidden zone!

The fact that a colossal entity from the Eastern Continent chose to side with Wei Mengrou, regardless of its purpose, caused the cultivators who had been itching to act to calm down considerably.

The green-robed cultivator frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Ye Qian, I've heard that you and Mu Zhian are not on good terms. This matter should have nothing to do with you, right?"

Ye Qian shook his head and smiled, "I'm not helping him, but no matter what, he is related to the Holy Maiden of my Forbidden Zone. If we sit idly by now, the outside world will probably think that my Forbidden Zone is cold-blooded and ruthless."

Although he disliked Mu Zhian, Mu Zhian and Ye Lingxuan had an extremely close relationship, and it was a foregone conclusion that Ye Lingxuan would inherit the forbidden zone in the future. Ye Qian was very clear about what to do.

However, even though Ye Qian's words intimidated some cultivators, these cultivators still harbored a strong desire for the Heavenly Dao Qi in the tribulation area at this moment.

This is the martial arts world. No matter what happens during their squabbles, the elders will always find a way to suppress it.

Besides, Mu Zhi'an and the forbidden zone only have an indirect relationship, and the forbidden zone has no reason to take action for a maidservant of Mu Zhi'an...

Thinking of this, some of the cultivators who had calmed down because of the word 'forbidden zone' began to get restless again.

Ultimately, some of them weren't even in the Eastern Continent; they left after the Ascension Ceremony ended... but if they missed this Heavenly Qi, they might never get another one in their lifetime.

"Amitabha."

At this moment, a beam of Buddhist light shone down, and a Western Region monk dressed in a kasaya raised a vajra, with a dazzling golden pattern appearing behind him.

"Since none of you benefactors are interested in the Qi of Heaven, then this humble monk will accept it in advance."

The monk transformed into a golden ray of light and headed straight for the Heavenly Dao Qi!

"Bald monk, get out of here!" Tang Sufei's eyes were filled with coldness as she immediately made a hand seal and rushed forward, blocking the Western Region monk.

However, once the first person took the lead, other cultivators followed suit and rushed towards Wei Mengrou's location.

The green-robed cultivator's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately rushed towards the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

"Wang Teng, do you really want to be an enemy of the forbidden zone?" Ye Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he stepped forward and blocked the path of the green-robed cultivator.

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Brother Ye Qian, you're joking. Who in the Eastern Continent would dare to oppose the Forbidden Zone? But look, many of the people here aren't from the Eastern Continent. Rather than letting them seize our Heavenly Dao Qi, wouldn't it be better for us to take it away?"

As he said this, he glanced casually at a young cultivator in the crowd and seemed to whisper something to him.

The cultivator nodded secretly, then transformed into a streak of light and took advantage of the chaos to rush towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao Qi!

Ye Qian looked up and his face suddenly darkened.

He is another cultivator from the Wang family!

These two are truly disregarding everything for the sake of the Heavenly Dao's energy...

boom!

As the first cultivator stepped into the tribulation zone, the tribulation in the sky roared and unleashed an even more terrifying aura.

Tang Sufei's expression changed slightly, and she secretly glanced anxiously at Wei Mengrou.

She didn't know what the Primordial Witch had left for Wei Mengrou, but if this tribulation failed, she probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity again.

“Amitabha, benefactor, you are attached to appearances.”

A Buddhist chant resounded, and the impulse to lay down the butcher's knife swelled in Tang Sufei's mind. After a brief moment of confusion, her eyes gradually cleared, and she snorted coldly, severing the monk's magic.

However, she couldn't help but focus her attention on the Western Region monk.

This holy maiden of the World Sea is indeed a favored daughter of heaven, but since she was able to represent the Western Regions to participate in the Ascension Conference, she must have extraordinary abilities. It will be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

While fighting Ye Qian, Wang Teng glanced over and saw that his younger brother, Wang Shuo, was almost at the level of the Heavenly Dao. A faint smile appeared on his face.

It's time... On the other side, a glint of light appeared in Ye Yu's eyes, and his whole body transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao Qi.

A surge of black mist appeared, and the Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness, unable to wait any longer, also sped towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao Qi.

"Nigati, you, a person from the Southern Wilderness, would be better off not interfering in the affairs of the Eastern Continent!" Ye Qian suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily.

The Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness, shrouded in thick black mist, ignored it and sneered, "The Qi of Heaven should belong to those with strength, regardless of status."

After he finished speaking, he increased his speed to the maximum and reached out to grab the direction where the Heavenly Dao Qi was located.

boom!

As Nigati stepped into the lightning tribulation area, Wei Mengrou's lightning tribulation, which was already difficult for two people, became even more terrifying. A deep black light pattern seemed to have appeared on the surface of the lightning dragon that splashed lightning fragments.

“This tribulation is only for her… Other cultivators will not be affected by the tribulation when they enter, but the difficulty of her tribulation will continue to increase…” One cultivator couldn’t help but sigh with sympathy.

"It seems that's how it is. And if I remember correctly, this woman has always been a loner since she entered the Martial World. I wonder why she seems to have some connection with the Holy Maiden of the World Sea..."

"No matter how talented one is, it's not enough in front of so many cultivators... It can only be said that possessing a treasure is a crime."

Amidst these reflections, Nigati gazed at Wei Mengrou, who had her eyes slightly closed and seemed to be preparing to face the tribulation lightning, not far away. He then looked up at the tribulation lightning in mid-air, which had become even more terrifying due to their arrival, and couldn't help but sneer.

"How pitiful. If I were you, I would crush the jade slip and leave now to avoid becoming the target of everyone's criticism here."
