Tianyan Sword Sect.
In the sky above Lingyao Mountain, dark clouds condensed very quickly.
In the clouds, lightning could be seen raging everywhere, as if a huge thunder disaster was brewing.
Just looking at this abyss-like thundercloud makes people feel frightened.
Compared with it, the thunderclouds in other places can only pale into insignificance, not even the little finger.
Bah!
The thundercloud continues to expand.
Such movement quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the sect.
Several great elders flew over the Spiritual Medicine Mountain and looked at the scene in front of them, and they were also surprised.
"Just a thunder disaster in the Nascent Soul Realm...can actually cause strange phenomena in the world?"
"Yes, there was no such scene when Lao Yuan's granddaughter Xiao Yue'er passed through the tribulation last month."
"Since when did this guy Tian Qing have such a powerful disciple?"
"Needless to say, it must be that boy Lin Jichen. Don't forget, that shameless guy Lao Qing shamelessly acted as Lin Jichen's second master."
This wave of obviously jealous voices naturally came from Nangong Yuan's mouth.
At this time, the Great Elder Tianqing flew out and said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, my disciple went through a catastrophe, but I didn't expect to alarm you all, haha, I'm really embarrassed."
Several other great elders obviously showed sour expressions.
"What are you so proud of, Lao Qing!"
"That's right, is that your disciple? He is obviously the disciple accepted by the master, and you are the one taking advantage from behind."
"Who says it's not the case? Everyone can see Mr. Lin's talent."
"Old Qing, I can understand you. After all, for so many years, most of your disciples have been focusing on alchemy. You want to get some credit too much, don't you?"
Faced with the ridicule of several old friends, Tian Qing was not annoyed, but smiled even happier.
In fact, they often compare their disciples with each other. The more talented their disciples are, the more respect they will have.
Just like teachers often compare students in their own classes, the more top students there are, the more confident the teacher will be in front of his colleagues.
Especially a youngster like the first in the grade can be the teacher's bragging rights for many years.
However, in this kind of comparison, Elder Tianqing usually loses.
When he accepts disciples, he never looks at their swordsmanship talents, but rather their alchemy talents.
Except for the Great Elder Tianjian, the other great elders have many sword cultivators under their command.
For example, Li Mu is a disciple of Grand Elder Tianque, and Nangong Yue is the granddaughter and disciple of Grand Elder Tianyuan.
For example, the third senior brother Zhang Chaohai is a disciple of the great elder Tianfeng, and the fifth senior brother Zhao Fu is a disciple of the great elder Tianzhu.
Only the strongest disciple under Great Elder Tianqing is ranked outside the top 100 among the disciples in the inner hall.
So now that he has a rare opportunity to grow his face, how can he let go of this opportunity, even if this apprentice is shamelessly 'borrowed' from the master?
At this moment, large thunderclouds also began to appear in the sky above Lingjian Mountain in the distance!
Several elders looked at him in surprise.
"This...is this child Tianhan, right?"
"I think so. No one else can match the thunder calamity of Lin Jichen, except Tianhan."
"It's a coincidence that these two children went through the tribulation at the same time."
"Haha, let's see who can survive the longer thunderstorm. Do you want to take a gamble? I'll be the banker!"
Nangong Yuan, who loves to bet, encouraged enthusiastically.
The greater the power of the thunder tribulation and the longer it lasts, the stronger the condensed Nascent Soul is.
After several other friends heard about this bet, they all nodded in agreement.
"I'm betting on a box of Nine-leaf Xuanling Tea that that guy from Jia Tianhan will win. I'm still more optimistic about him." Great Elder Tianfeng expressed his stance.
"Then I'll bet on a divine lotus! That kid Ji Chen." The great elder Tianque also placed a bet.
"I bet..."
Several elders placed their bets one after another, among which the one betting on Chu Tianhan was the most, while the one betting on Lin Jichen was the least.
Although Lin Jichen is the head disciple and has won the Immortal Ascension Conference, everyone is still more optimistic about Chu Tianhan.
After all, Lin Jichen got started too late, while Chu Tianhan grew up in the Sword Sect and was carefully trained under the knee of the Great Elder Tianjian.
He has nothing to say about his foundation. Putting aside the true strength of the two of them, overcoming the tribulation only depends on the foundation.
So everyone is more optimistic about Chu Tianhan.
Seeing several old friends blocking him one after another, Nangong Yuan began to panic.
Good guy, once Lin Jichen loses, he, the banker, will pay to his death
"You brat, you have to give me some trouble. If I lose, you won't be able to associate with my granddaughter again!"
Nangong Yuan prayed silently in his heart and said that as long as Lin Jichen lets him lose, he will take revenge no matter what!
Boom!
As a bolt of lightning lit up the entire night sky fell, the thunder disaster on the Spiritual Medicine Mountain began first.
But then the thunder disaster on Lingjian Mountain also followed.
The two thunderbolts arrived almost at the same time.
But the expressions of the elders who had bet on Chu Tianhan just now changed instantly.
Because just by the appearance of the first thunder, they could see the difference.
Chu Tianhan's thunder catastrophe seems to be about the same power as Lin Jichen's, but the power of this thunder is far different!
"How...how is it possible? This is definitely a thunder disaster in the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Elder Tianfeng pointed at the thunder on the Spiritual Medicine Mountain and was shocked.
"Oops! How could I forget that every time Lin Jichen makes a breakthrough, he will trigger a thunder catastrophe. The Qi Refining Realm can trigger a thunder tribulation. At most, Tian Han only has the golden elixir to trigger a thunder tribulation." Elder Tianzhao patted his thigh and thought.
This is an important reference factor.
Several other elders who voted for Chu Tianhan also slapped their legs and regretted it.
Even if Chu Tianhan's strength is not inferior to that of Lin Jichen, he is no match for him when it comes to thunder tribulation.
Lin Jichen has been taken care of by Lei Jie since he was in the Qi Refining Realm. As he was promoted, the power of Lei Jie also increased exponentially.
Chu Tianhan really couldn't compete with Lin Jichen in terms of thunder tribulation.
"Old Yuan, I was joking just now. Can I void the bet?"
"Yeah, I was joking too. I actually quit gambling a long time ago."
"I don't ask you to pay me back everything, but you'll win half of it, okay?"
Several elders began to repent, but who was Nangong Yuan? He was the only one who could cheat on him, so how could he allow others to cheat on him, so he refused without saying a word.
Seeing this, several people shook their heads helplessly and vowed never to gamble again!
The thunder disaster on the two spiritual mountains continues.
Lin Jichen and Chu Tianhan bathed in the thunder light at the same time, accepted the baptism of heavenly tribulation, and condensed the Nascent Soul.
Although Lin Jichen defeated Chu Tianhan in terms of the ‘strength’ of the Heavenly Tribulation, he was not feeling well at this moment.
The first thunder caused Lin Jichen's health bar to drop by one-fifth!
This is the side effect of changing one's destiny against the will of heaven. While enjoying high attribute bonuses, Lin Jichen also has to bear the punishment of a catastrophe that is more dangerous than others.
Lin Jichen, who originally thought that things would go smoothly after experiencing the previous Jindan Thunder Tribulation, now realizes that he was still too optimistic.

First update
[Author's digression]: I was temporarily arrested and sent to a hotel for quarantine the day before yesterday. I didn't bring anything with me. My phone automatically turned off yesterday. Today I finally asked the hotel staff to bring a charger. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone!
