Chapter 689: Chapter 345: Discovering the Traces of Ascenders


    Watching thunder and lightning strike the Cave Mansion of the Golden Serpent, the faces of the five Monster Ancestors were filled with incredulity and doubt, as they each spected about the nature of this Heavenly Tribtion.


    They tried to probe with their Divine Sense, but it seemed as if they were blocked by a mysterious aura, preventing their Divine Sense from prating further.


    However, as the thunder and lightning descended, dense Demon Energy surged from the direction of the Cave Mansion, convincing them that it was undoubtedly Long Ao undergoing the Tribtion.


    While undergoing Tribtion, Lin Yi naturally revealed his true form, because his identity as part of the Demon Tribe had been constructed in the Spirit Profound Realm, and therefore, unlike the three avatars in Heng Yuan World, did not carry the aura of the Lower Realm, easing the need for the Tribtion.


    Simrly, since the fictitious identity does not bear the true body’s karma, even if he wanted to switch to the Demon Tribe identity after attracting the Heavenly Tribtion and then undergo the Tribtion with that identity, it would be impossible.


    Once the identity was switched, the Heavenly Tribtion would dissipate as if it had lost its target.


    Previously, he had already set up everything for the final stage, so even if he revealed himself in his Human true form, those Monster Ancestors would not detect a trace of suspicion.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Looking at the descent of the first thunder and lightning, Lin Yi felt it for a moment and then took it directly with his body, figuring that the first two lightning strikes, based on the experience of passing Tribtion as Invincible East within the Tai Xuan Dao Pce, were tremendously beneficial for the body’s tempering.


    However, the Cultivators who had ascended mostly used various means to resist the initial stages of Heavenly Tribtion.


    For this first strike of Heavenly Tribtion, he did not use his body’s defenses excessively and allowed the thunder and lightning to enter directly, tempering his flesh.<div>


    After the first strike of Heavenly Tribtionnded, the Monster Ancestors felt the power of the thunder and lightning and began to form some spections.


    A hint of suspicion crossed the face of the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, “This seems like the Heavenly Tribtion that Ascenders face to eliminate the Otherworldly Aura. Could it be that Long Ao is an Ascender from the Lower Realm who has used some tricks to deceive us?”


    At that moment, the Serpent n Demon Ancestorughed, “White, you haven’t quite hit the mark with your suspicion. You should be saying that perhaps it is possible that our friend Long Ao is actually a being descended from the Immortal Realm, iming not to be so and thus has deceived us.”


    “Dragon’s words are true. Our friend Long Ao is descended from the Immortal Realm and naturally carries an Otherworldly Aura. It would indeed be strange if he didn’t undergo the Tribtion,” the Rat n Demon Ancestor said in agreement.


    The Wolf n Demon Ancestor nodded too, echoing, “Yes, the Immortal Realm is a higher world and could be considered a different space altogether. It naturally carries an aura of another world. With Long Ao being so powerful, how could he possibly be an Ascender from the Lower Realm? Could it be that he ascended and reached the Refining Void Realm without ever facing this Ascension Tribtion?”


    “Fellow daoists, let’s set aside this issue for now and quietly watch the Tribtion,” said the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng n in a grave tone. He felt a surge of joy as the Tribtion indicated that the Golden Serpent hailed from another world.


    And this world could certainly not be the Lower Realm, since such an environment was incapable of nurturing a Monster Beast as formidable as this. Only a higher-tier Immortal Realm was usible.


    After surviving the first strike of Heavenly Tribtion, Lin Yi directed the thunder and lightning that had entered his body along a specific route, continuously tempering his physique. As Invincible East, he had already tempered it once before; this was his second time.


    However, the Ascension Tribtion that he was now undergoing, below the Refining Void Realm, was somewhat more potent than the one he had faced as Invincible East, suggesting the intensity was adjusted ording to one’s Cultivation Realm.


    A little whileter, the second strike of Heavenly Tribtion descended. Lin Yi sensed it and a peculiar expression crossed his face, as it seemed identical to the first strike in aura. However, through the sensation of the Eye of Emptiness, he could tell it carried a wild and violent aura.


    This type of aura, upon entering the body, would undoubtedly inflict significant damage. During the Tribtion as Invincible East, the first two strikes were beneficial to the body. It was only on the third strike that this violent aura appeared.


    Now, with the second strike already manifesting such characteristics, only two possibilities arose: either his own Cultivation was too high, offering only one beneficial lightning strike or the nature of the thunder and lightning was random.


    Based on his spection, it was likely thetter, which also exined why Ascenders did not perceive the benefits of Ascension Tribtion since its randomness could not be discerned with the naked eye.


    Having determined the strike to be filled with violent aura, Lin Yi naturally discarded the idea of tempering his body, prepared to adopt a defensive stance to endure this lightning strike.


    At the same time, he used the Eye of Emptiness to sense the nature of the Heavenly Tribtion. After all, there was no trace of any opposing organization of the Creation Method here, and this was a Tribtion, not an Ascension.


    What’s more, in deciding to undergo the Tribtion today, he had already leveraged his Predict Crisis ability once without any crises arising.


    Just as he was about to release the three types of Qi within his body to defend against the Tribtion, suddenly, the Creation Method inside him began to operate automatically. The ck Yin Qi at the lower Dantian emerged, forming a Yin Energy Shield around his body outside.


    When the violent thunderbolt struck this Yin Energy Shield, it did not cause any damage. Instead, it was absorbed.


    Lin Yi’s face showed astonishment as he watched the thunder and lightning being absorbed, the Yin Energy Shield growing denser and making the Yin Qi within his body grow stronger.<div>


    To absorb Heavenly Tribtion was utterly inconceivable; the Tribtion was violent, representing the masculine, and now it was being absorbed by the Yin Qi – perhaps this was indeed what was meant by supplementing Yin with Yang.
