He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

Hundreds of magical swords imbued with lightning-elemental spiritual power rained down, covering a large area.

Many of the longswords were piercing the distorted space.

Many illusion arrays are not lethal; at most, they can only affect people's senses, and they are also relatively fragile.

By finding its weak point, even without directly destroying the array's core, the effectiveness of the illusion array can be greatly reduced.

The illusion array before us is just like that.

The surrounding space was clearly distorted, then it looked like a bubble that had been popped.

With a "pop," the illusion array shattered, revealing the true state of the back mountain.

The tribulation thunderclouds in the sky were slowly and irreversibly gathering, and the rumbling thunder made the ears of the ordinary disciples of the Yu Dan Sect ring.

"Someone is actually going to undergo tribulation in the cemetery! How dare they!" Liu Kou roared angrily, then transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the place under the tribulation thundercloud.

Seeing this, the other members of the Yu Dan Sect quickly followed suit, for they saw this as no different from blaspheming their ancestors.

Even if the person undergoing tribulation is indeed Ding Yuan, they will not show any mercy. If it is an outsider, they will be even more ruthless.

"Brother Yan, shall we go and take a look?" Lu Ge asked.

Xun Yan said, "You stay here and keep watch. If you see anything unusual, go back and report to me immediately. I'll go and check it out."

"Brother Yan, why don't you wait here? This is my mission, how can I let you take such a risk?" Lu Ge quickly stopped him.

"It's not hard to tell from those tribulation thunderclouds that the person undergoing this tribulation is aiming to break through to the Golden Core realm."

If he fails, that's fine. But if he succeeds, is it something you can handle? So it's better if I go instead.

"Don't worry, I have other ways to save my life. I'll retreat if things get dangerous," Xun Yan said.

Seeing that Xun Yan had made up his mind, Lu Ge did not try to stop him any further.

He simply said, "Brother Yan, be careful. Hey... Brother Yan, actually this matter doesn't have much to do with us. It's okay if we don't contribute."

Xun Yan shook his head and said:

"The Feather Pill Sect is, after all, our affiliated sect. They've been very diligent and even provided us with pills on time."

Isn't their goal to seek our protection? If we turn a blind eye when something happens, then it's not just our problem anymore.

It could even damage the reputation of the Misty Sect. Such a thing absolutely cannot happen, and it certainly cannot be caused by me.

After saying this with righteous indignation, Xun Yan hurried over to the tribulation thundercloud.

"Brother Yan, be careful!" Lu Ge could only shout.

The core area of ​​the cemetery.

The leaders of the Yu Dan Sect throughout history are buried here.

At this moment, in an open space, sat an elderly man with white hair and beard, who was none other than Ding Yuan, the current Grand Elder of the Yu Dan Sect.

After the outer illusion array was broken, he slowly opened his eyes, and blood-red light flickered in his slightly cloudy eyes.

"Ding Yuan! It really is you! How dare you?" Liu Kou, who was the first to arrive, shouted angrily.

Ding Yuan sneered and then said:

"What do I dare not do? You are the sect leader of Yu Dan Sect and a Golden Core cultivator, but what contributions have you made to Yu Dan Sect?"

They've been nothing but lackeys of the Misty Sect all along! How can the Feather Pill Sect possibly develop better this way?

You shouldn't stop me. Once I break through to the Golden Core Realm, I'll definitely be able to lead the Feather Core Sect to even greater heights!

Liu Kou's beard moved without wind, and he said:

"If you were simply undergoing tribulation, I wouldn't stop you, but you shouldn't have stolen the pills meant for the Misty Sect!"

You shouldn't undergo tribulation here. If the formation here can't withstand the tribulation lightning, are you going to let the past sect leaders be reduced to ashes?

Don't forget, your master is also buried here. Don't you even care about his remains?

Ding Yuan's tone remained sarcastic as he said:

"There is absolutely no way to get ahead by being a dog of the Misty Sect. Besides, the seniors and my master would definitely support me if they knew what I was thinking."

Seeing that Ding Yuan remained stubborn, Liu Kou was almost amused by his stubbornness.

"Who gave you the courage to think that breaking through to the Golden Core stage would allow you to challenge the Misty Sect?"

Don't forget that your current cultivation level was reached by consuming various elixirs. Even if you successfully break through to the Golden Core realm, you'll still be at the lowest level of the Golden Core realm in terms of combat power.

"A mere inner sect elder from the Misty Sect could easily kill you. Don't drag the entire Feather Pill Sect down with you!"

The other members of the Yu Dan Sect who arrived also nodded in agreement upon hearing the conversation between the two, readily agreeing with Liu Kou's words.

Ding Yuan sighed softly and then said:

"Sure enough, if you serve someone's dog for too long, your perspective and other aspects will also become narrow. I am, after all, the Grand Elder. Do you think I don't know how powerful the Misty Sect is?"

Since I dare to do this, I naturally have absolute confidence and trump cards. You just need to cooperate with me, not try to stop me...

Forget it, I can't explain it to you. You and the others should just stay put!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yuan made a hand seal, and the surrounding space distorted again, activating another illusion array that enveloped everyone present.

This includes Xun Yan, who had just arrived.

As the surrounding scenery changed again, turning into a dense jungle, Xun Yan sighed inwardly with a touch of helplessness.

"No, I just arrived and I'm already inside the formation again?"

At the same time, a dark figure rushed out from the shade of the trees, baring its fangs and claws as it charged towards Xun Yan.

The aura emanating from the shadowy figure was in no way inferior to that of the ferocious beasts in the Thunderous Secret Realm.

Xun Yan simply raised his hand, and with a thunderous sound, the dark figure was instantly dispersed.

It's not that Xun Yan's current combat power is particularly strong, it's just that this is still an illusion array.

These shadowy figures may appear fierce, but they are actually illusions.

If you mistakenly believe they are real, then both your body and soul will be deceived.

Their attacks are normally harmless, but once tricked, both the body and soul will think they are injured, leading to various reactions.

If the soul cannot withstand the pressure and feels that it has suffered a fatal injury, it is very likely to die from "scaring oneself."

However, Xun Yan has a high resistance to illusion arrays, and the quality of this illusion array is not particularly high.

Its lethality to Xun Yan was less than that of the goose from Ling Shou Peak.

Taking a step forward, Xun Yan passed through the ripples and arrived in front of Ding Yuan.

At this moment, wisps of green smoke were rising from Ding Yuan's body, indicating that he had been struck by the tribulation lightning.

Upon seeing Xun Yan, Ding Yuan was visibly astonished. "How could you be completely unaffected and still appear before me!"

Ding Yuan was originally quite confident in his illusion array, as even Liu Kou was unable to break through it in a short period of time.

If no one disturbs him, then his success in this tribulation is absolutely guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, Xun Yan appeared out of nowhere, and Xun Yan's identity was not simple.

This caused his resolve to waver. "Even if I break through to the Golden Core Realm, can I really challenge the Misty Sect?"

But this wavering lasted only a moment, and his expression quickly regained its confidence.
