Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1090  Delayed Heavenly Tribulation

When Chun Hua noticed Su Yang coming out of the Fiery Yang Cavern, she examined his body before approaching him.

"First level of Divine Spirit Realm, huh? You have slightly surpassed my expectations, but why did you come out already? You still have an entire day inside."

"I won't benefit anymore from the place, so I left early," he said.

Chun Hua couldn't believe what Su Yang had just said and quickly responded, "Won't benefit you…? What kind of nonsense is that? The Fiery Yang Cavern is beneficial for anyone below the Five Divine Realm, and even for those whose cultivation is above that level, it can still enhance their Yang Qi!"

Su Yang shrugged and said, "If given enough time, sure. However, I only had a day left at best. I don't want to risk getting exposed over such minor improvements."

"I guess that makes sense…" Chun Hua mumbled after hearing his explanation.

Su Yang continued speaking, "Anyway, I am going to leave now. I'll contact you later so I can thank you properly." "Huh? What do you mean?" Chun Hua wore a puzzled look on her face.

Su Yang smiled and said, "I find it unlikely that you would put yourself at so much risk just to cultivate with me. There's something else you want from me, right? You can tell me about it later. As long as it isn't out of my abilities, I'll help you."

A profound smile appeared on Chun Hua's face, but she didn't reveal anything else and only said, "Then I will be waiting for you."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

"You seem to be in a hurry to leave. Do you have an appointment with someone?" she suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I do."

Before Chun Hua could say anything else, Su Yang flew away.

Chun Hua didn't leave the Fiery Yang Cavern until Su Yang's silhouette completely disappeared from the horizon.

Once he was gone, Chun Hua turned to look at the Fiery Yang Cavern and entered the cave Su Yang had cultivated in.

"Wow, he exhausted so much vitality from the Fiery Yang Cavern in just twelve days. There's no way he could've absorbed this much from cultivating in the second area. He must've cultivated in the third area. How bold and reckless."

Chun Hua didn't stay in the Fiery Yang Cavern for long and left almost as soon as she entered.

Meanwhile, Su Yang searched for a secluded peak in the Boundless Yin Yang Sect.

'Due to how fast I broke through to the Divine Origin Realm, and with the formations in the Fiery Yang Cavern, my Heavenly Tribulation was delayed. However, I can feel it quickly approaching.'

Typically, to transition from the Seven Mortal Spirit Realm to the Five Divine Realm, a cultivator must face and endure a Heavenly Tribulation. However, Su Yang forcefully broke through with the aid of a powerful treasure, and his presence was partially concealed by the formations within the Fiery Yang Cavern, causing the Heavenly Tribulation to be delayed.

Heavenly Tribulations cannot be avoided and are inevitable. Furthermore, if delayed, the Heavenly Tribulation becomes even more powerful, increasing the risk and challenge for the cultivator. For this reason, most cultivators choose to face their Heavenly Tribulations as soon as possible.

Within the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, there are empty peaks designated for this exact purpose. Once Su Yang found a suitable spot for his Heavenly Tribulation, he swiftly set up several formations around the area to conceal his presence and reduce the chances of being disturbed.

After all that was done, Su Yang sat in the lotus position and waited for the Heavenly Tribulation to occur.

A few minutes later, the temperature and atmosphere on Su Yang's peak changed dramatically. The clouds above him darkened, swirling ominously as if a powerful thunderstorm was imminent.

Su Yang looked up and smiled, "What's taking so long? You're just a minor tribulation. Get this over with, and stop wasting my precious time."

BANG!

As if in response to Su Yang's provocation, the dark clouds unleashed a lightning strike as thick as a mature tree directly at him, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap that rippled throughout the Boundless Yin Yang Sect.

"Someone's facing a Heavenly Tribulation in our sect? Is it a disciple or an elder that's making the breakthrough?"

The disciples were curious about this individual's identity, but they knew better than to disturb someone undergoing a tribulation. Whether it was a rule of the sect or a general rule among cultivators, interrupting another's tribulation was strictly frowned upon.

However, as long as they didn't interfere with the cultivator, it was acceptable to observe the tribulation. Consequently, many experts in the sect used their spiritual senses to watch from a distance.

"An Outer Court disciple? I don't recognize him."

"Wait… he's already at the Divine Origin Realm? But the Heavenly Tribulation hasn't ended yet! Did he manage to breakthrough before the tribulation could even begin?" "He's enduring the Heavenly Tribulation as if it's nothing! Who is this genius, and how is he only an Outer Court disciple at that cultivation?!"

The spectators were shocked by what they were witnessing.

Furthermore, Su Yang had changed his appearance before the tribulation began to avoid being recognized. He also lifted the suppression on his cultivation, revealing his true level to everyone watching.

The Heavenly Tribulation ended after ninety-nine lightning strikes, and Su Yang emerged from it without a single scratch on his body.

The spectators were eager to approach Su Yang and learn more about him, but he quickly left the scene. They attempted to track him with their spiritual senses, but Su Yang's movement technique had reached a new level after his breakthrough, enabling him to disappear like a ghost.

"Damn! He got away!"

"Who the hell was that, anyway?"

"He must've been in a disguise to avoid attention. I highly doubt he was an Outer Court disciple, too."

"He just entered the Divine Origin Realm, so he must be an Inner Court disciple at the very least. We'll find out his identity if anyone attempts to become a Core Disciple in the near future."

With their prey having disappeared, the spectators departed soon after.
