Chapter 173: Great Mystery Sacred Sect
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Rumble!
A deafening sound rang out.
In the distance, lightning cascaded down from the sky, submerging the mountains and covering the earth.
As far as the eye could see, it was an endless ocean everywhere.
This heavenly tribulation seemed like an apocalyptic disaster sent down by the Heavens, making people feel uneasy.
In the sea of lightning, each bolt of lightning was as thick as a mountain, and any one of them was enough to flatten a mountain.
In a short 25 minutes, the entire Great Mystery Mountains had been completely razed to the ground.
From now on, the Great Mystery Mountains would probably be renamed the Great Mystery Plain.
“The second heavenly tribulation has arrived!”
Elder Chen said in a deep voice.
He really didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.
He was very worried that the person undergoing the tribulation was a peerless demon like Su Chen!
If the ninth heavenly tribulation was drawn, even if the Great Mystery Sect was outside the tribulation, they would be severely injured.
Just the aftermath of this heavenly tribulation was enough to kill the disciples of the Great Mystery Sect!
Another 15 minutes passed.
“Buzz…”
A completely different voice rang out.
This was not the sound of thunder, but a whisper from the heavens.
Countless people watched as a blazing white thunderbolt descended from the sky and struck deep within the Great Mystery Mountains.
In an instant, the world was silver-white, and everything was white.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned in place. They had lost all their senses as if they had become walking corpses.
It seemed to pass in an instant, yet also seemed to stretch on for tens of thousands of years.
From the sect leader to the disciples, everyone’s eyes gradually regained focus.
Just as they came back to their senses, they all opened their mouths and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Each of their auras was extremely feeble, as if their divine souls had been shredded, their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were filled with lingering fear.
“Heart Tempering Tribulation!”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect gasped for breath and said with a shocked expression.
For a moment, he thought he had died.
Fortunately, he managed to endure it in the end.
But even so, he was also severely injured.
He was clearly outside the heavenly tribulation, yet he had suffered such heavy injuries.
It was hard to imagine just what kind of state the person at the epicenter of the tribulation was in right now.
He didn’t have time to care about himself.
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect quickly spread out his divine sense and scanned the disciples of the Great Mystery Sect.
Fortunately…
This time, the Heart Tempering Tribulation of the Saint Tribulation was only targeted at stronger existences.
In other words, the stronger one was, the greater the damage taken.
The weaker one was, the less impact it had.
“Sect Leader, do you think the person undergoing the tribulation has succeeded?”
Elder Fang quickly suppressed his injuries and looked at the sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect.
“Maybe…”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect said with uncertainty.
He wasn’t sure either.
However, the Heart Refining Tribulation had already come down. As long as the person undergoing tribulation wasn’t some extremely wicked being, the chance of transcending the tribulation successfully was at least 20%.
A 20% chance seemed very low.
However, compared to the people of the demonic path, this was already a very high success rate.
“Sect Leader, that person is undergoing a tribulation near our Great Mystery Sect. If he succeeds, do you think we should go and congratulate him?”
At this moment.
Elder Chen suddenly said.
“Yes…”
The sect leader fell silent.
Before he could make up his mind.
“Whoosh!”
The tribulation clouds split open.
All kinds of auspicious lights fell down and illuminated the sky and earth.
At the same time, an old voice exploded in the void, like a decree from the gods, echoing above the Great Mystery Sect.
“From today onwards, the Great Mystery Sect is officially renamed the Great Mystery Sacred Sect! Su Chen is the first Holy Son of the sacred sect! All disciples of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect must not tarnish the reputation of the sect!”
The moment the old voice sounded, everyone in the Great Mystery Sect, including the sect leader, elders, and tens of thousands of others, was stunned.
After a long time, everyone gradually came back to their senses.
“I… I’ve become the Holy Lord of the sacred sect?”
“I… I’ve become an elder of the sacred sect?”
“I… I’ve become a disciple of the sacred sect?”
“I’ve become the Holy Son of the sacred sect?”
A series of questions appeared in the minds of everyone in the Great Mystery Sect.
This huge surprise came too suddenly, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect.
No!
To be more precise, the Great Mystery Holy Lord reacted at the first moment.
He led a group of elders to the sky. When he arrived in midair, he shouted, “We congratulate Supreme Elder on becoming a saint! We congratulate Supreme Elder on becoming a saint! We congratulate Supreme Elder on becoming a saint!”
His powerful voice rang out, spurring the entire Great Mystery Sect into action.
Tens of thousands of people spoke at the same time. Their voices gathered together and shook the world, causing the entire void to rumble like thunder, causing the mountains to tremble continuously.
A Saint Realm expert!
Everyone knew that a Nirvana Realm expert could only live for a thousand years, while a Quasi-Saint Realm expert could only live for four thousand years.
As for the lifespan of a Saint Realm expert, it had increased to more than 10,000 years!
Of course, this was only the average lifespan.
If a Nirvana Realm expert hid away in the mountains to cultivate, living two thousand years would be no issue.
Coupled with some life-extending miraculous elixirs, even three thousand years was not impossible.
But now a Saint Realm expert had appeared in the Great Mystery Sacred Sect.
That meant that in the next ten thousand years, they would be the number one force in the East Barrens!
From now on, no one or any force would dare to provoke them.
It was not difficult for a Saint Realm expert to deduce a Saint-level cultivation method.
As long as a Saint Realm expert appeared, it would not be too difficult for the Great Mystery Sacred Sect to produce a second Saint Realm expert in the future!
Buzz…
At this moment, in the distance, a buzzing sound was heard.
Immediately after, a golden path extended from the distant horizon to the sky above the Great Mystery Sacred Sect.
On the top, a skinny old man with a hunched back stepped out.
His pace was not fast, and even very slow.
However, with each step he took, the surrounding mountains would retreat backward.
He was different from other Saint Realm experts.
After becoming a Saint, they would increase their lifespan by 10,000 years, and they would usually choose to restore their youthful appearance.
However, this Supreme Elder of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect still maintained his original appearance.
Superficially, he looked just like a shriveled old man. His loose linen clothes fluttered in the wind as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
But the Saint Realm aura fluctuating around his body was intimidating.
Just a wisp of this power was enough to shake the nine heavens.
Anyone below the Saint Realm would submit!
A Third Tribulation Saint didn’t seem that powerful.
But in reality, the Saint Tribulation was different from the Nirvana Tribulation.
Let alone saints who passed the ninth Saint Tribulation, even saints passing the seventh or eighth Saint Tribulation were extremely rare.
Usually, 99% of people who became Saints only passed the first to fifth lightning tribulation.
An existence who had passed the third Saint Tribulations was already quite impressive
After all, an existence that could become a Saint was a one-in-a-million prodigy!
The difference between prodigies was usually very small.
Unless it was some heaven-defying monstrous existence, it would be very difficult to widen the gap..
