After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

When Lin Chu opened her eyes again, she was already in the clan's quiet room.

His eyes glazed over for a moment.

When you look up again, your shoulders and back naturally relax, and your chin is slightly raised.

The relaxed feeling unique to Earth receded like the tide, replaced by an innate sense of nobility and aloofness.

He stood up, took off his ordinary clothes, and took out a set of moon-white fairy robes from his storage bag to put on.

She fastened her jade belt and loosely tied her long hair up with a jade hairpin.

He pushed open the door and went out.

Ji Ning was squatting in the yard feeding Gun Gun.

Hearing the noise, the little girl looked up and her eyes widened in surprise.

"elder brother!"

She tilted her little face up and looked him up and down.

"Brother, you seem different!"

Lin Chu habitually reached out and rubbed her head.

"What's different?"

"Hmm..." Ji Ning tilted her head and thought for a long time, her little face scrunched up, "I can't say."

Gun Gun also wiggled its round body and came closer, nudging Lin Chu's calves with its head.

Lin Chu bent down, picked up Gun Gun, and held him in her arms.

"Let's go see your sister Tianxin."

When the two arrived, Ao Tianxin had just sheathed his sword.

He turned around and saw Lin Chu, his eyes showing surprise.

"Why did this seclusion end so quickly?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she scanned Lin Chu with her divine sense.

When he spoke again, his tone was tinged with shock.

"You've reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation?"

"Mm." Lin Chu stepped forward, naturally took her hand, and sat down in the pavilion.

Ji Ning followed along and sat obediently beside them, holding Gun Gun in her arms.

Without hiding anything, Lin Chu gave a general account of her trip back to Blue Star.

Upon meeting Yu Sheng, he dealt with the Bharata Forbidden Zone and the information revealed by the "Holy Mother".

Ao Tianxin listened very attentively.

"The Spirit Race..."

Lin Chu nodded.

"This matter is very complicated. I predict that there will be changes in the Taixu Spirit Realm before long."

He looked at Ao Tianxin.

"Moreover, it's highly likely that it's related to the Soul Devouring Clan."

Ao Tianxin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Therefore, we must do our best to improve ourselves."

After Lin Chu finished speaking, he took her hand.

My palms are warm.

Ao Tianxin didn't say anything, but instead intertwined her fingers with his.

The atmosphere was quiet when a small hand suddenly reached out from the side.

Ji Ning tilted her little face up and solemnly took Lin Chu's other hand.

Lin Chu looked down at her and couldn't help but smile.

"The three of us look like a family."

A meaningful glint appeared in Ao Tianxin's eyes.

"Really?"

"Then ask Xiao Ji Ning if they're a family."

Ji Ning shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"No, that's not true!"

Lin Chu laughed in exasperation.

"You heartless little brat."

Ji Ning stuck out her tongue and buried her face in the fur on the panda's back.

……

In the afternoon, Lin Chu went to the main hall.

Lin Lan and Ji Muwan were both there.

Upon seeing him enter, Ji Muwan's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Before she could speak, Lin Lan's hand, which was holding the teacup, stopped.

He released his divine sense again, scanning Lin Chu several times.

"peak?"

Lin Chu nodded.

He made no attempt to conceal his breathing.

Ji Muwan's eyes widened slightly.

Lin Chu was only thirteen years old.

He broke through to Mahayana this year and reached his peak in the same year.

This speed is nothing to mention in Tianlan City.

There are very few like them in the entire Taixu Spirit Realm.

"How did you do that?" Lin Lan looked like she'd seen a ghost.

Lin Chu smiled shyly.

"Great achievements come from small beginnings."

Lin Lan rolled her eyes.

That kid, he always asks the same question every time I ask him.

"How did you do that?!"

"I told you, it's all about accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it."

Don't give me that.

Lin Chu chuckled and said no more.

Ji Muwan, however, had already come down, grabbed Lin Chu's hands, and was all smiles.

"Great!"

"Mother, I've come today to tell you that I'm preparing to undergo a tribulation."

"Crossing!"

"I will inform the clan to make preparations immediately."

Lin Lan also sat up straight.

"when?"

"In the next few days."

Lin Lan and Ji Muwan exchanged a glance.

……

Less than half an hour after Lin Chu left the main hall, the Lin clan's territory was disturbed.

The Ji clan also received the news and began to take action.

The two races were like two enormous machines, starting to operate simultaneously.

The next day, the Ji family sent someone to deliver a piece of defensive soft armor.

Celestial Essence Soft Armor, a defensive magical artifact of Immortal Lord level.

It can weaken the power of the lightning tribulation by at least 30%.

Ji Muwan then transferred a large number of rare elixirs and restorative medicines from the clan's treasury and gave them to Lin Chu.

Lin Lan personally oversaw the clan's grand formation, adding layers of protective restrictions to the tribulation platform.

Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan, both peak Immortal Kings, personally attended the event to oversee the proceedings.

Lin Chu sat to the side, watching everyone busy themselves, and her lips twitched.

"It's just undergoing the tribulation of a terrestrial immortal, why make such a fuss?"

"What do you mean by just passing through the tribulation of a terrestrial immortal?"

Ji Muwan glared at him.

"You are my son, you can't afford to make any mistakes."

Lin Lan stood beside the platform, without turning her head.

"Enough talk, let's go up."

Lin Zhentian strolled over with his hands behind his back and saw Lin Chu's indifferent expression.

"Don't be reckless, kid. Use your magic weapons and elixirs when necessary."

Lin Chu nodded quickly.

……

On this day, within the Lin clan's territory.

Below the tribulation platform, the direct descendants of the Lin family and the people from the Ji family sat in the distance.

Ji Ning also followed to the sidelines with Gun Gun in her arms, her big eyes filled with nervousness.

Lin Chu walked up to the high platform.

The platform was covered with celestial patterns and inlaid with top-grade celestial crystals, its spiritual energy so rich it was almost palpable.

Lin Chu sat down and closed her eyes.

They began their assault on the gate to the Earthly Immortals.

Spiritual energy surged forth like a tide.

The once sunny Tianlan City was suddenly filled with large patches of dark clouds from all directions.

The cultivators in the city all looked up.

"What happened?"

"Why is it dark?"

"Such a powerful aura of thunder!"

"Could someone be undergoing a tribulation?"

"This commotion...something's not right. The direction of the tribulation is towards the clan's territory!"

"Clan territory? Who's that? Is some young master from the Lin family aiming to become a True Immortal?"

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderclap exploded in the clouds.

Many people with low cultivation levels in the city shuddered.

"Look at that color!"

Red.

Crimson red, like blood.

"The tribulation hasn't even started yet, and it's already this large-scale?"

"Is this a celestial tribulation or a true immortal tribulation?"

"Who in the Lin family is undergoing tribulation?!"

……

Lin Chu looked up from the high platform.

Deep within the clouds, twelve streaks of lightning were already faintly taking shape.

He narrowed his eyes.

"The twelfth floor."

A normal Earth Immortal Tribulation consists of nine levels.

The first bolt of lightning struck.

Crimson lightning tore through the sky and struck Lin Chu.

Outside the high platform, four arrays lit up simultaneously.

The lightning bolt, having passed through layers of restrictions, had lost most of its power by the time it struck Lin Chu.

Lin Chu remained completely still.

The second, the third, and nine in a row.

The first nine lightning tribulations were like raindrops hitting a rock before him.

His protective soft armor shimmered with iridescent light, protecting him.

The surrounding array trembled continuously, yet remained as stable as a rock.

The clansmen watching the ceremony nodded in agreement.

"The Third Young Master's background is indeed profound."

"Young Master, this... tribulation is like soaking in a hot spring."

"My son Chu'er is exceptionally gifted."

Lin Chu:...?

I didn't even move.
