Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The atmosphere in Qingyun Sect Square had reached its peak.

The once solemn protective array outside the mountain has now been transformed into the largest "open-air electronic music festival" in the history of the cultivation world.

That psionic tractor, which had undergone countless modifications, had now been transformed by the system into a "mobile lightning-prone DJ booth." Two enormous "lightning rod antennas," flashing with purple arcs of electricity, had been erected on the exhaust pipe on the roof, resembling a pair of giant rabbit ears.

Jia Zang stood on the DJ booth, no longer holding a microphone, but instead holding a pair of... Thor's hammers (modified turntables).

Below the stage, hundreds of thousands of demonic cultivators, tens of thousands of righteous disciples, plus the Heavenly Dao Arbitrator who was still being forced to twist his waist, were all dancing so wildly that they were completely out of their minds.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

The mesmerizing background music was no longer just a song, but a "Sound of the Great Dao" mixed with system effects.

Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly changed.

Dark clouds gathered, and purple thunder rumbled.

A chilling pressure descended from the sky, freezing the spiritual energy of the entire Qingyun Sect.

"Heavens...Heavenly Tribulation?!"

Li Cangtian had just caught his breath from "leg-shaking mode" when he saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, and his face turned green with fright.

"It's over! This is my 'Ninefold Tribulation'! Why did it come early?!"

As the leader of the Black Fiend Cult, Li Cangtian had committed numerous evils, so the power of this heavenly tribulation was naturally extraordinary. Nine purple lightning dragons were seen circling within the dark clouds, ready to unleash a devastating calamity at any moment.

"Run! Everyone scatter!" Li Cangtian shouted.

But no one can run that fast.

It's not that I'm frozen in place, it's just that... the background music hasn't stopped yet!

The system's "Rhythm Master" aura was still in effect, and everyone's legs were still involuntarily tapping the ground in rhythm.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

The thunder dragon in the sky seemed to be affected by this strange rhythm. The lightning that should have been crashing down instead hesitated in mid-air.

"Boom—"

The first bolt of lightning struck.

But instead of striking Li Cangtian, it struck the two enormous "lightning rod antennas" in the center of the square!

"Sizzle—!!!"

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck the tractor instantly.

All the cultivators present thought that Jia Zang was about to turn to ashes.

however--

"Move it, beat it! Move it, beat it! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, the stereo on the tractor burst into an even more ferocious heavy metal rock music!

Those two lightning rod antennas started spinning wildly like turntables, treating the falling lightning as "records"!

"Sizzle sizzle—"

Lightning strikes the antenna, producing a piercing yet rhythmic crackling sound.

Jia Zang stood on the DJ booth, wearing sunglasses, completely absorbed in controlling the two bolts of lightning, shouting:

"Fellow Daoists! The Heavenly Tribulation has arrived! But! As long as the rhythm remains intact, the Heavenly Tribulation will simply provide the accompaniment! Come on! Follow Thor's rhythm, let's—dance! disco!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The second and third bolts of lightning struck in succession.

Jia Zang grabbed the lightning with both hands and swung it wildly like he was scratching a disc, converting the lightning's energy into "sonic shockwaves"!

"To the left! Let's draw a dragon together!"

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck from the left, exploding into a firework.

"Draw another rainbow on the right!"

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck the right side, transforming into a seven-colored neon light.

What was originally a terrifying "Ninefold Tribulation" was actually turned into a "Thunder and Fireworks Show" by Jia Zang!

The 100,000 demonic cultivators below the stage were stunned.

"Holy crap... Heavenly tribulation can be overcome like this?"

"That's so cool! This is what cultivation is all about!"

"I want to jump too! I want to electrify myself too!"

Under Jia Zang's influence, the atmosphere of fear instantly turned into a carnival.

Looking at the exploding lightning sparks filling the sky and listening to the deafening rock music, Li Cangtian suddenly felt... this tribulation of lightning didn't seem so scary after all? He even felt a little like shouting along to the rhythm.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

As the last and most terrifying bolt of "Purple Heaven Divine Lightning" struck, Jia Zhuang yanked the control lever, drawing all the lightning energy into the tractor's engine!

"Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Engine - Overclocking Mode! Activate!"

"boom----!!!"

The tractor let out a roar like an ancient beast awakening, and its body instantly grew tenfold, transforming into a giant "Thunder Electro Armor"!

Jia Zang stood atop the mecha, his body crackling with electric arcs, like a thunder god descending to earth.

"Li Cangtian! I helped you through your tribulation! Now, it's your turn to 'pay your debt'!"

With a wave of his hand, Jia Zang sent a golden beam of light toward Li Cangtian.

"System! Give him the 'It's So Good!' special offer!"

[Ding! Consumed 100000 Honkai Points, applying the 'Group Frenzy' aura to the target!]

Li Cangtian felt his mind go blank, his body surging with boundless power (actually, it was adrenaline). Looking at the lightning mech and the sky filled with lightning sparks, he suddenly realized that this was the "Great Dao" he had always dreamed of!

"Ahhh! That feels so good!!!"

Li Cangtian roared to the sky, no longer resisting, but joining the revelry. He brandished his demonic blade, slashing out streaks of sword energy at the sky in rhythm with the lightning!

"Good! This is how a Demon Lord should act!" Jia Zhuang laughed loudly. "Fellow Daoists, don't just stand there! The Heavenly Tribulation is for everyone! Let's attack together!"

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

Tens of thousands of demonic cultivators, tens of thousands of righteous disciples, and that Heavenly Arbitrator—all of them, under the illumination of the lightning mechs, began to dance wildly.

The dark clouds in the sky were dispersed by this terrifying "popularity" and "collapse value".

The "Ninefold Tribulation" that was supposed to destroy everything ended up awkwardly turning into a shower of "spiritual energy" because it couldn't find a target to strike (everyone was dancing and there was no killing intent).

"Splash—"

Golden raindrops fell, each drop containing pure spiritual power.

"Holy crap! This is... a heavenly tribulation baptism?!"

The cultivator who got soaked by the rain discovered that the bottleneck in his body had loosened! His cultivation level was rising rapidly!

"I've gained experience! I've gained experience!"

"Jump! The higher you jump, the more rain you'll get!"

The square instantly transformed into a "massive spiritual cleansing event in the world of cultivation."

[Livestream chat]

[Holy crap! Heavenly tribulation turned into bathwater?! Streamer, are you even human?!]

[This is called "turning waste into treasure"!]

[This is hilarious! The Heavenly Arbitrator is doing the Yangko dance while taking a shower!]

[System notification: A collapse of the Heavenly Dao's logic has been detected. Achievement obtained: "Terminator of the Calamity Clouds"!]

Just then, the "Heavenly Will" that was supposed to strike down from the sky suddenly transformed into a blurry human figure.

The figure looked down at the group of lunatics dancing in the thunderstorm, and at Jia Zang riding the lightning mech, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, the figure actually... gave a thumbs up.

Then it turned into a golden light and disappeared.

"System notification: Heaven has given up on treatment and has given you a thumbs up."

Jia Zhuang looked at the golden light and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems that it's time to change the rules of the cultivation world."

He piloted the Thunder Mech, slowly landing in the center of the plaza.

"Fellow Daoists! Today's 'Thunder Tribulation Disco' event has come to an end!"

"Li Cangtian! Your position as Demon Lord is secure. Remember to come to the 'Energy Group' often to get a membership card!"

"Lord Heavenly Dao! Your 'Heavenly Dao Will' has excellent judgment. Remember to come back to me next time you undergo tribulation, and I'll give you a 20% discount!"

After saying that, Jia Zang stepped on the gas, and the lightning mech transformed into a streak of light, carrying a truck full of Honkai energy and a group of still-enthusiastic cultivators, soaring into the sky.

All that remained in the Qingyun Sect square was a group of cultivators still savoring the thrill of their "disco" session, and glow sticks scattered all over the ground.

Li Cangtian looked at the sky and murmured to himself:

"This is... true cultivation..."
