The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 108: Heavenly Tribulation

Looking at the Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Ming could never fathom how some cultivators could use their bodies to tank those bolts of lightning.

He read many crazy protagonists using the tribulation to hone their bodies, but what about regular cultivators.

How were they able to resist a powerful Heavenly Tribulation?

Or maybe they didn’t and actually succumbed to their death. After all, in the novels he read, many authors opted not to write about those average or background cultivators.

They would only be lazy and introduce random background characters with a higher cultivation base than the protagonist without any explanation whatsoever.

Actually no, there was one explanation that most authors used. It was their novel and world, so they got to write whatever they wanted. If they wanted a villain to have higher cultivation than the protagonist just by breathing air, then that would be the final.

While Ye Ming was lost in his thoughts, Lin Loi had already rushed outside to tackle her Heavenly Tribulation.

Her Master, Mo Cheng, had also arrived and was dumbfounded by the scene.

"My disciple can actually trigger such a powerful tribulation?" Mo Cheng was alarmed but quickly became delighted. The more powerful a tribulation, the greater the result her disciple would achieve in the future.

However, his delight soon turned to worry as he feared that she might fail the tribulation. In the end, he waved his hand and formed numerous barriers to prevent the tribulation from damaging the city.

Additionally, he was about to instruct someone to call for Ye Ming but halted himself when he spotted Ye Ming standing on a rooftop.

He heaved a sigh of relief and instantly appeared in front of Ye Ming.

"Senior Dao," he cupped his fist and greeted.

Ye Ming simply nodded and said, "Your disciple is going to surpass Tian Suyin soon. Are you happy?"

Upon hearing that, Mo Cheng would have really cultivated for naught if he didn’t understand the correlation.

"Thank you for helping my disciple, Senior." He bowed his head, his tone even more respectful than ever.

"Shush, I’m watching." Ye Ming suddenly said in an annoyed tone. This was his first time witnessing someone undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.

How could he allow someone to disturb him?

Having been an author who wrote such scenes countless times, he would never be able to forgive himself if he were to miss the actual source material.

He wanted to see how Lin Loi would confront the lightning or retaliate against the tribulation.

’Will her clothes be burned to shred and become partially naked like most male cultivators?’ Ye Ming wondered silently. After all, it was extremely common for male cultivators to become half naked on their top half once their tribulation was over. But what about female cultivators?

How do they actually deal with this kind of scenario?

Ye Ming was truly curious. Of course, he wasn’t looking for Lin Loi to be partially exposed. Instead, he wondered how she would avoid the situation and take notes.

With his attention focused on Lin Loi, the Heavenly Tribulation finally completed its formation.

"Come at me," Lin Loi beckoned with her hand as she faced the tribulation with a determined gaze.

As if offended by Lin Loi’s gesture, the Heavenly Tribulation began to unleash a barrage of lightning toward her.

Her eyes narrowed coldly upon seeing the bolts of lightning raining down on her.

Without hesitation, Lin Loi conjured the unknown Qi in her body and fused it with the Spiritual Qi. With these two being in combination, she launched it forward to contend against the lightning.

Soon, the lightning collided with the qi, and to many’s astonishment, the lightning was actually being forcefully pushed back.

’Fuck, that’s cheating!’ Only Ye Ming exclaimed inwardly from shock. He was anticipating Lin Loi to whip out some treasures or techniques to confront the tribulation.

Who would have thought she outright used the Dao Qi he had given it to her.

Although it was only a small strand, the Dao Qi was more than capable of deflecting the lightning tribulation formed by the Heavenly Dao.

But then again, Ye Ming also couldn’t get angry at Lin Loi for cheating. Instead, he had to praise her for knowing to use the strongest utility from the get-go.

"Ugh, this is a waste." Ye Ming clicked his tongue and returned to his room, startling Mo Cheng.

"A waste?" Mo Cheng’s body flinched as he wondered if Ye Ming was talking about Lin Loi failing. He began to panic and worry about Lin Loi’s misery.

Alas, little did Mo Cheng realize, the waste that Ye Ming mentioned was regarding his time being wasted. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

He was simply too depressed and lazy to speak the full sentence, prompting Mo Cheng to be panicking heavily like a little kid.

For the next few minutes, Mo Cheng was trembling and nearly hyperventilating.

It was only when Lin Loi successfully underwent the tribulation completely unscathed did he heaved a sigh of relief.

’How is this a waste?’ Mo Cheng cursed silently. He was displeased with Ye Ming’s action of scaring him, but he didn’t dare to look for him to complain.

Instead, he flew to the sky and smiled brightly at Lin Loi.

"Haha, you managed to break through and incur such a powerful tribulation. You are definitely more talented than Suyin." Mo Cheng laughed heartily.

"You flatter me, Master Cheng." Lin Loi shook her head and denied the claim, but her facial expression exposed her. She was full of smiles and was clearly enjoying the breakthrough.

However, her eyes soon wandered around.

Noticing her attention being split, Mo Cheng asked, "Are you looking for Senior Dao?"

"Yes, where did he go?"

"I don’t know." Mo Cheng shrugged and continued, "He said something about this being a waste and left disappointingly. I thought that you were going to face some mishap, so I was trembling most of the time and ready to assist you."

Upon hearing that, Lin Loi flashed a bittersweet smile.

"I think Senior Dao’s meaning of waste means it was a waste of time." She wasn’t guessing but was certain about it because she purposely used the mysterious Qi he gave her to confront the tribulation.
