After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

As soon as the spiritual energy entered, Lin Fengmian heard a clear phoenix cry!

The pale yellow phoenix aura seemed to sense the intruder and instantly burst forth with dazzling light, as if declaring its territorial sovereignty.

Xiao Xiyue's spiritual energy also shone brightly, directly confronting the phoenix's aura!

next moment--

The two streams of spiritual energy began to clash directly within the Dao Foundation!

They intertwined and collided with each other, unleashing bursts of astonishing waves!

Lin Fengmian's expression changed drastically!

Because of the struggle between these two spiritual energies, the originally intact Dao foundation began to show fine cracks!

"Click—click—"

The sound was like ice cracking, making Lin Fengmian's heart pound with fear!

Can't wait any longer!

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes, and he suddenly waved his hand!

The last treasure in front of him—the Profound Spirit Dao Fruit that he had obtained after surviving countless near-death experiences in the secret realm—flew directly into his mouth!

The Xuanling Dao Fruit entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a vast and boundless power!

next moment--

A magnificent beam of light suddenly descended from the darkness, shining directly on Lin Fengmian's Dao foundation!

"Boom boom boom—!"

The pillar of light contained an unparalleled pressure that pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao, as if it came from the heavens above, or as if it came from the beginning of chaos.

Under the beam of light, the two opposing spiritual energies, which had been locked in a fierce battle, instantly became as insignificant as ants!

They froze simultaneously, then involuntarily stopped fighting, and were slowly merged and reshaped by the power of the pillar of light!

A burst of intense light suddenly erupted!

The blinding light prevented Lin Fengmian from seeing the situation inside his dantian with his divine sense.

He could only grit his teeth and wait for the outcome.

I don't know how much time passed—

The bright light gradually faded.

Lin Fengmian immediately focused his attention on it.

The next moment, he was completely stunned.

Within the dantian, a majestic Dao foundation stands silently, seemingly reaching straight to the clouds!

The surface of that base was as smooth as jade, even more lustrous than the finest mutton fat jade.

But its foundation is different from that of ordinary cultivators.

It is not pure white, but half of it is as white as snow and half of it is as black as ink, the two intertwined, like a natural yin-yang diagram!

Above the Dao Foundation, mysterious runes flowed faintly, exuding an aura of truth that embodies the interplay of Yin and Yang and the simplicity of the Great Dao.

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed!

This is... a perfect Dao foundation!

He had read in ancient books that cultivators who could condense such a foundation of Dao had limitless potential for their future cultivation!

As long as he doesn't die prematurely, his future attempt to reach the Core Formation stage is almost a certainty!

When fighting against cultivators of the same level, a cultivator with a perfect Dao Foundation can even fight against several opponents, and fighting against cultivators of higher levels is not difficult!

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

He was preparing to thoroughly investigate the mysteries of this Dao foundation.

however--

The next moment, outside the cave, in the sky.

The enormous vortex of spiritual energy had just dissipated, but the sky did not clear up.

Instead, dark clouds covered the ground, with heavy, low-hanging clouds that seemed to press down on the earth!

Within the clouds, faint flashes of lightning rolled, radiating a suffocating pressure!

"Boom!"

A deep rumble of thunder echoed throughout the heavens and the earth!

Immediately afterwards, a massive, dark red lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, cleaved down from the clouds and hurtled straight toward Lin Fengmian's location!

"What's going on?!"

The independent cultivators who were still watching from afar were stunned when they saw this scene!

"A heavenly tribulation?! This is a heavenly tribulation!"

"How is this possible! How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?!"

The rogue cultivator who had just reached the Core Formation stage was even more shocked, muttering to himself:

"Cultivators only encounter Heavenly Tribulations at the Core Formation stage or above... and the higher the cultivation level, the greater the power of the Heavenly Tribulation... This kid is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how could he...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the massive, dark red lightning bolt crashed down!

"boom--!"

The cave where Lin Fengmian was located was instantly engulfed by lightning!

The entire hill was blasted into flat ground by this bolt of lightning!

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky!

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure in a green robe soared into the sky!

Lin Fengmian was surrounded by spiritual light, with three flying swords circling around him, radiating a sharp sword aura!

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, but his gaze was as cold and sharp as a knife!

"Damn it, what heinous thing have I, Lin Fengmian, done?!"

He looked up at the sky where the calamity clouds, which had not dissipated but instead grew thicker, were still looming, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Fine! Since you want to chop me up, then I'll show you the power of my perfect Dao Foundation!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the second bolt of lightning crashed down!

This one was even stronger than the last, with more intense lightning and a destructive force!

Lin Fengmian made a hand seal, and three flying swords instantly flew out, spinning rapidly above his head!

"The Three Powers Trapping Enemy Formation—Activate!"

This is the first sword formation he comprehended after studying the "Starfall Sword Manual". Although he has only just begun to understand it, its power is already far superior to ordinary sword techniques!

The three flying swords spun rapidly, their sword light weaving into an impenetrable net!

At the same time, countless sharp sword energies burst forth from the sword formation, and those sword energies converged into a roaring giant dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed towards the heavenly lightning!

"boom--!"

The sword-qi dragon collided violently with the heavenly lightning!

Lightning exploded, and sword energy shot out in all directions!

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth and frantically channeled the spiritual energy within his body!

The power of this heavenly tribulation was far greater than he had imagined! And by a significant margin!

However, before the lightning bolt had dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky surged up again!

"Boom!"

The third bolt of lightning followed closely behind, crashing down with a deafening roar!

"Damn it! There's another one!"

Lin Fengmian's pupils suddenly contracted.

But what terrified him even more was yet to come—

Within the tribulation clouds, the fourth bolt of heavenly lightning also condensed and took shape at the same instant!

Two bolts of lightning struck down simultaneously, one after the other!

"Boom boom—!"

Lightning exploded, and the sky and earth changed color!

In the distance, more and more Core Formation cultivators were startled by the commotion and looked up in this direction.

"Three bolts of heavenly lightning struck simultaneously? This is... the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top?!"

An elderly man with white hair, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, cried out in surprise.

"Just who is this kid! It's bad enough that he triggered a Heavenly Tribulation during his Foundation Establishment stage, but it's the Tribulation of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!"

"If this child doesn't die, he will surely amount to something great in the future!"

Within the Immortal City.

In an elegant and quiet room, Liu Yayin looked helplessly at Xiao Xiyue, who was curled up on the bed like a dumpling.

Liu Yayin sighed, about to say something more.

suddenly--

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder came from afar!

Liu Yayin suddenly turned her head and looked out the window at the horizon.

In the distance, dark clouds churned, and three enormous bolts of lightning, each a different color, crashed down from the clouds, illuminating the sky with flickering light!

"Someone is undergoing tribulation!"

Liu Yayin's beautiful eyes lit up, and without saying a word, she directly pulled up Xiao Xiyue, who was curled up in a ball on the bed.

"Xi Yue, come with me quickly!"
