Seeing the aura of the thundercloud was terrifying, Xu Qing without hesitation, put away the Mountain and River Map and instantly performed the Rainbow Transformation Escape Technique. When he reappeared, he was already over a vast lake, next to Zhong Mountain.

At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, and the mist was boundless.

This perfectly matched an ancient phrase.

A jade mirror reflects thousands of acres of fields.

All are drawn from the West River, carefully measured by the Beidou,

with myriad phenomena as guests.

Soon, however, the sky was covered by dark clouds, thunder shattering the heavens.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

This Heavenly Tribulation indeed responded to the aura of the Mountain and River Map, and couldn't be escaped wherever he went.

But he wasn't only looking to hide.

After all, Xu Qing did not fight battles he wasn't confident of winning.

…

…

Inside the city, at the Fang Mansion.

Elder Fang was lying on a deck chair admiring the moon when suddenly dark clouds covered the sky.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Truly, he must have owed this kid in a past life.

But with Xu Qing being so lazy, he had nothing he could do.

Moreover, Elder Fang had truly acknowledged those new policies Xu Qing implemented in the Great Yu Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.

His gaze focused on the thundercloud, only seeing the Yin Yang Qi surging inside, like dark tides within the abyss.

Within those clouds, purple traces floated in strands.

Elder Fang well knew, this Heavenly Tribulation was certainly extraordinary.

What exactly did that Xu kid do to provoke such a formidable Heavenly Tribulation?

He yawned and quickly appeared above Black Water Lake.

"Old Fang, this Heavenly Tribulation is truly frightening, it's not targeting you, is it?" Xu Qing asked with concern written all over his face.

Elder Fang rolled his eyes: "Then I'll leave, so I don't bring disaster to you."

Xu Qing smiled sheepishly: "I was just guessing blindly."

Elder Fang's gaze fell upon the Mountain and River Map transformed into Xu Qing's vestment robe.

Xu Qing immediately let the vestment robe leave his body.

He still had his inner clothes, no problem.

Besides, what harm if an old man sees.

The Mountain and River Map floated in mid-air, ripples rising.

As if it were trembling with fear.

"Daoist, how did you manage to summon the Purple Cloud Thunder Tribulation?" A clear and graceful voice of Crane Child sounded from within.

Elder Fang gave Xu Qing a peculiar look.

Xu Qing explained: "It's an Artifact Spirit."

"You're the Artifact Spirit, your whole family's Artifact Spirits." Crane Child retorted in annoyance.

Elder Fang coughed: "You two can argue later."

Xu Qing sent a Five Elements Divine Light into the Mountain and River Map sealing Crane Child.

This little lady just won't settle without being hit.

He then focused his gaze on the thundercloud.

Only to see the divine spirit's silhouette inside the thundercloud constantly solidifying, growing blood, flesh, and faintly emerging meridians.

In this Heavenly Tribulation, a divine spirit of flesh and blood was actually being born.

It completely refreshed Xu Qing's understanding of Heavenly Tribulations.

Elder Fang's face was somewhat grave, he said: "Be careful."

Xu Qing nodded gently.

He didn't dare be careless, asking: "Old Fang, can you handle it?"

Black lines appeared on Elder Fang's forehead.

Xu Qing said: "I mean, let's face it together."

Elder Fang helplessly said: "Stop joking around, if we can't handle it, just give up on this magical treasure."

Xu Qing's expression turned solemn, he nodded.

He sensed the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Tribulation, so he had mentally prepared beforehand.

He just didn't expect that using the Xuanhuang Tripod to promote the Mountain and River Map would cause such big trouble.

Could it be that any Grotto Heaven kind of magical treasure would face such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation upon promotion?

Xu Qing couldn't figure out whether it was caused by the Xuanhuang Tripod or if this was just how Grotto Heaven kind of magical treasures advanced.

If it was the latter, then when the Pure Yang Realm's spiritual energy reaches a certain richness in the future, would an unbelievably terrifying tribulation descend upon their advancement?

Xu Qing's thoughts flashed, suppressing this dreadful idea.

Finally, the divine spirit in the thundercloud began to strike, wielding a divine artifact like a whip, swinging it down towards the Mountain and River Map below.

A Purple Cloud Divine Thunder promptly descended.

This was one of the most terrifying thunders in the void.

It inherently contained the Silent Extinction Path, one of the four End Paths.

This thunder's descent, even strong Heavenly Immortals, would struggle to withstand.

Without thinking, Xu Qing used the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand to perform the Five Elements Divine Light, forcibly guiding the Purple Cloud Thunder into the Black Water Lake.

Even so, still about thirty percent of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder blasted towards the Mountain and River Map.

At this point, Elder Fang waved his hand.

A mysterious and unfathomable divine intent emerged.

Xu Qing finally caught a glimpse of the Great Dao cultivated by Elder Fang.

The Yin Yang Dao!

Indeed, Xu Qing thought.

After all, Elder Fang's cultivation was self-proven and realized from the Daoist Collection, practicing the Yin Yang Dao was not surprising.

Under the divine intent of the Yin Yang Dao, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder quickly disintegrated, transforming into pure Primordial Qi.

At this moment, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder that plummeted into Black Water Lake shattered countless lake creatures, but the spread of pure Primordial Qi resulted in seemingly endless vitality gushing forth.

The blood and flesh shattered quickly mixed with Primordial Qi, absorbed by the remaining creatures.

Momentarily, massive fish and shrimp leaped out of the water, spiritual energy overflowing.

The miracle of Creation was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Xu Qing was also incredibly shocked.

Because these creatures could absorb flesh essence and Primordial Qi in such a short time, it was simply unfathomable, could it be related to the divine intent of the Yin Yang Dao?

Elder Fang's gaze also showed slight amazement.

He seemingly hadn't expected such a marvelous incident to occur.

However, before the two could ponder further.

The second Purple Cloud Divine Thunder descended from the sky, its momentum greater than before.

The overwhelming power of the Silent Extinction Path radiated, directly attacking indiscriminately, enveloping both Xu Qing and Elder Fang.

Xu Qing once more activated the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand, transforming nearly all Tai Chu Demon Qi into Five Elements Divine Light.

The power of Silent Extinction Path continuously dissolved Xu Qing's Five Elements Divine Light.

Seeing Xu Qing about to be unable to sustain, Elder Fang placed his hand on Xu Qing's shoulder.

In an instant, Xu Qing felt a surge of exceptionally pure Yin Yang Qi flow into him, replenishing the consumed Five Elements Divine Light rapidly.

The amplification of the Yin Yang Qi on the Five Elements Divine Light was beyond Xu Qing's imagination.

This time, the power of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder's tribulation was thoroughly counteracted by the Five Elements Divine Light.

Seeing the third Purple Cloud Divine Thunder about to brew.

Elder Fang suddenly spoke, "It's impolite not to reciprocate!"

He gently struck out a palm, and the Yin Yang Qi flew out like a flood dragon, cutting the thundercloud in the sky just like a pair of scissors.

"Uh." Xu Qing hadn't expected old Fang to be this strong.

The thundercloud split in two, as if it lost its foundation of existence, even the divine spirit inside gradually dissipated.

The bright moon surfaced again in the sky, with numerous large fish and shrimp surging in the lake, resembling the inhabitants of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Elder Fang wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, looked towards the west, where a faint flicker of golden light appeared on the horizon. He furrowed his brows, then said, "It should be over."

"Um." Xu Qing was taken aback, "I didn't think Old Fang would end it like this."

The sky began to clear, and once again the moon was reflected on the water, numerous large fish and shrimp springing from the water, as if full of boundless vitality.

Elder Fang's gaze softened, he gently said: "Helping you may not have been a good thing."

"Why do you say that?"

Elder Fang suddenly said cryptically, "Because tribulations not overcome by oneself will accumulate as a debt."

"It's like a loan, I understand." Xu Qing understood this principle, though he also thought of something deeper.

At that moment, the surface of the bronze mirror once again rippled, showing new changes.
