Xu Fan imdiately carried Xu Yuexian back to the Hidden Spirit Island, and he alone ca to the spot where he had first crossed the Thunder Tribulation.
"Pu Tao, what is the shortest recorded interval between Tribulations in your database?" Xu Fan asked, gazing at the accumulating thunderclouds in the sky.
He had only known before that the ti between Tribulations was very short.
Usually around a century.
"The shortest recorded instance belongs to the Supre Sovereign of the Elders Association, he effortlessly crossed three Tribulations in a row, skyrocketing from the Integration Stage to the Mahayana Stature, and since then has remained unrivalled in the Human Cultivation World." Pu Tao answered.
Xu Fan looked at the forming thunderclouds in the sky, the second Tribulation's thunderclouds were not like the Physical Tribulation.
The clouds in the sky were now ink-blue, as if they were forged from imnse compressed spiritual Qi.
Feeling the massive amount of spiritual Qi in the sky, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
"After the first Tribulation, I wondered why I couldn't detect the timing of the next Tribulation."
"Turns out you started forming right after the first Tribulation ended, and have only now managed to gather the required spiritual Qi."
Xu Fan chuckled.
"If there was not enough spiritual Qi, you could've just told . It's not like there's any shortage here."
As if having heard Xu Fan's arrogant words, the thunderclouds in the sky imdiately sent down a lightning strike composed of the purest spiritual Qi.
The second Tribulation's requirent is to withstand it with one's body to attain the goal of internal spiritual power purification.
"Boom!!!"
A thick lightning strike ca from above, striking Xu Fan's entire body.
Xu Fan shivered all over, feeling as if he'd just consud a potent dicinal tonic, and the spiritual power in his body clearly felt exceedingly bloated.
At this mont, Xu Fan realized he'd overlooked a crucial aspect. During his Tribulation Phase, he had already purified and condensed his spiritual power to the extre. Thus, even after advancing to the Tribulation Stage and passing through the Thunder Tribulation, the improvents wouldn't be too significant.
Therefore, if he couldn't improve in quality, he'd have to work on quantity.
As Xu Fan ruminated, another lightning strike thundered down.
It was like forcibly pouring water into a bottle already filled to its brim.
Xu Fan felt a sense of mounting pressure. His face was uneasy, he wanted to release it.
But he found that the spiritual power in his body had been sealed. If he wanted to release it, he'd have to wait until the Thunder Tribulation was over.
Xu Fan, typically calm and easygoing, felt like cursing aloud at this mont.
It was like desperately needing to urinate, but still being forced to keep drinking water.
"You guys could let the Thunder Tribulation manifest for to fight. This thod is imnsely uncomfortable," Xu Fan complained, looking at the sky.
Just as Xu Fan was suffering, the third lightning strike swooped down.
It could have been a shift in quality triggered by quantity, or it could have been Xu Fan's illusion.
Regardless, Xu Fan felt that the spiritual Qi inside his body had been compressed slightly and the quality of spiritual Qi had also improved ever so slightly.
It was akin to the sensation of holding in a burst bladder, yet not feeling rushed.
Just as Xu Fan was feeling relieved, the fourth lightning strike crashed down.
This ti, Xu Fan felt a sense of release, as if his bladder capacity had increased, making the previous urgency insignificant.
The fifth lightning strike struck.
With his bladder full again, Xu Fan started to feel uncomfortable.
The sixth strike ca, and in spite of his spiritual Qi's quality improving, Xu Fan still felt uncomfortable.
The seventh strike, bladder capacity increased.
The eighth strike, bladder filled to the brim.
The ninth strike, the quality of spiritual Qi surged.
From that mont, the Thunder Tribulation ended.
Xu Fan looked at the sky, feeling a great sense of discomfort in his heart.
He felt like he had been rendered naked and frivolously played with.
"I feel like, apart from crossing a Thunder Tribulation, there hasn't been much improvent elsewhere." Xu Fan said with a gloomy face as he looked at the sky.
As for the Spiritual Power contained in the root cause, Xu Fan didn't take it very seriously.
That's because every ti after his realm was promoted, simply refining and compressing it a bit would already reach the limit.
So for him now, it's just that his Nascent Soul True Spirit can accommodate a bit more Spiritual Qi.
Xu Fan raised his hands and a Spiritual Energy Cluster about dozens of ters in diater, compressed to the extre, slowly rose towards the sky.
Eventually, the Energy Cluster began to transform and condense into a cloud, absorbing the moisture in the sky and slowly transforming into a dark cloud.
Before long, a hundred miles around was covered by dark clouds.
When the moisture gathered to the extre, the sky started to rain divine rain, beginning to nourish this land.
"Finally, I feel relieved."
As if I've been holding it for a few hours, finally releasing half of it.
"Since the Spiritual Qi Tribulation has ended, the Soul Tribulation should be coming soon, right?" Xu Fan said.
At that mont, he suddenly felt his soul being pulled into a strange space.
Within this odd space, Xu Fan encountered another version of himself, the evil that was sealed deep within his soul.
"The worst scenario has occurred." Xu Fan sighed.
He had encountered the Thunder Tribulation, which was the worst nightmare for all Tribulation Crossing Cultivators, the Soul True Self Tribulation.
To cross this tribulation is simple, just defeat the alter ego across oneself, a version of oneself who knows oneself perfectly well and is even purer possibly extrely dark and cruel, yet also possibly extrely good.
At this mont, the Soul True Self of Xu Fan that he was facing was also Xu Fan, dressed in white, gentle and elegant, just like a gentleman made of fine jade in this world, his eyes filled with compassion for all beings.
But the way he looked at Xu Fan was filled with disgust.
As if Xu Fan was the embodint of darkness.
The two Xu Fans stared at each other for a long while, finally they all sighed.
"You could have been the savior of the Cultivation World, but you choose the most relaxed and carefree way of living."
"There's a reason why the Heaven have made you reincarnate into this world, yet you have failed it." The dark alter ego of Xu Fan said, as if criticizing an insignificant person who refused to contribute to the world.
Xu Fan sighed again.
"Most people seal away their darkest, most brutal, and most greedy side."
"But for people like , who are only pure and good, we seal away our most saintly side, making seem villainous."
"The saintly , people in the world, they all have their a fixed destiny, your unwarranted interference can save how many people?" Xu Fan looked at the Saint Xu Fan and said.
"Not to ntion other things, solely on the Demon Clan invasion, you could have saved the entire Linsen Immortal City at least, creating a Giant City, gathering Mortal Citizens, protecting them from the Demon Clan."
"But it just so happens, due to your inactivity, tens of billions of mortals were massacred by the Demon Clan, and the reason you didn't save them was simply because of a slight concern in your heart."
"Possessing unparalleled talent in the world, yet not being benevolent towards the beings of the Human Clan, you are unworthy to possess such a talent." Saint Xu Fan, dressed in white, looked down upon Slack Xu Fan from a moral high ground.
Xu Fan looked at his saintly alter ego, feeling sowhat helpless.
"I only do what I can do, when I have the ability, I will save this Cultivation World."
"Also I have to say, as the ending is all the sa, a big fight, let's just skip the unnecessary talk."
Xu Fan said so and transford into a Thousand-Hand Illusion.
In no ti, all kinds of Divine Abilities were launched towards the Saint Xu Fan.
After entering the Tribulation Passage stage, Xu Fan had anticipated the Soul Tribulation, and all the possible scenarios he might co across.
Among all the situations, the one Xu Fan least wanted to face was the Saint True Self sealed deep within his soul.
He felt that this thing was thousands and hundreds of tis stronger than the evil in his heart, and it's particularly frustrating to face it, as if he was the villain.
