Chapter 111: Ascending the Mountain to Undergo Thunder Tribulation

Mao Ri Xingjun departed with regret, he truly didn’t understand why Bai Ze had to provoke Red Boy, and could only hope in his heart that Bai Ze would pass the trial smoothly.

After Mao Ri Xingjun left, Wukong walked over and said, “Little Brother Bai Ze is about to undergo tribulation, right?”

Bai Ze said, “Yes, tomorrow I will find a suitable mountain peak in this Uji Kingdom to undergo tribulation.”

Tang Sanzang, Bajie, and Wujing said simultaneously, “Little Benefactor, you must succeed in your tribulation.”

Having traveled together and experienced hardships, the Journey to the West group had developed quite a fondness for Bai Ze, and naturally all hoped that he could successfully undergo his tribulation.

“Thank you, venerable elders.” Bai Ze expressed his gratitude to everyone.

At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Bai Ze was doing the final body tempering before his tribulation.

Although his inner core, meridians, and physique had already been tempered to be exceptionally firm after the previous immortal seed mutation, he had to cherish every minute to make his foundation even more solid.

In his mind, Ying Lao said, “Are you really going to try that forty-nine rounds of Universal Divine Thunder?”

Bai Ze said, “Of course, I must make my starting point higher.”

Moreover, Mao Ri Xingjun just brought news that Red Boy is already at the mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal, even if I succeed in my tribulation, I will only be at the early-stage of Heavenly Immortal.

If I don’t choose to undergo a good tribulation, going to find him is simply like an egg hitting a stone.

So, teacher, I have no choice.”

Bai Ze didn’t say that he had already decided to undergo the three hundred and sixty rounds of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Thunder.

Ying Lao sighed, “Ah, since you have already chosen this path, then prepare well, success or failure is tomorrow.”

Ying Lao was also very clear that if it was an ordinary tribulation, Bai Ze going to find Red Boy now would probably be more bad than good.

Even if Bai Ze had many magic items, even if his Corpse Emperor Immortal Technique was special, it was probably not enough.

After all, Red Boy was different from others. Red Boy was a person destined to become a Post-Heaven Sage, and the luck he carried was unimaginable.

Facing others, Bai Ze might be able to challenge those above his level.

Facing such a person, if Bai Ze didn’t undergo a good tribulation, it would probably be difficult for him to have a chance of winning.

Bai Ze began to practice his Corpse Emperor Technique by the moonlight.

The dantian formed by three stars provided him with a continuous stream of power, while he was covered in golden light, each punch he threw was like a resounding bell, his aura was powerful, magnificent, and turbulent.

And so, the next day, Bai Ze asked the Green Lion and arrived at the highest mountain in the Uji Kingdom: Mount Uji.

This mountain was entirely black, towering into the clouds, with its peak shaped like a chicken’s head, hence the name Mount Uji, and the Uji Kingdom was named after it.

The Yellow Ox carried Bai Ze to the foot of the mountain, Bai Ze said, “Don’t see me off, I’ll go up the mountain alone.”

Bai Ze jumped down from the Yellow Ox’s back.

The members of the Journey to the West group were also there, Wukong said, “Go for it, Little Brother Bai Ze.”

Bajie said, “Old Pig is waiting for you to come down and have a feast.”

Wujing said, “It will definitely be fine, you definitely can do it.”

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together, “Amitabha, may Buddha bless you.”

The Green-Haired Lion respectfully clasped his fist, “Little Benefactor, good people have their own blessings, I believe you will succeed.”

“Alright everyone, I’m going up the mountain.”

The child’s face was full of determination, his small body climbed towards the towering mountain, with endless perseverance and decisiveness.

Everyone who watched was sighing with emotion.

Sha Wujing said, “Indeed, a hero emerges from a young age, no, a hero emerges from a child, look how long he’s been cultivating and he’s already undergoing tribulation.”

Zhu Bajie asked Sun Wukong somewhat uncertainly, “Monkey Bro, that child said he’s going to undergo forty-nine rounds of Universal Divine Thunder, do you think he can succeed?”

Sun Wukong hesitated, “……Should, be able to?”

Over there, Bai Ze’s pair of short legs were really having a hard time climbing this high mountain, he somewhat regretted not having the Yellow Ox send him to the top of the mountain.

But now that things have come to this, he could only do this.

He continued to climb up the extremely steep mountain wall, and it took him a full hour to reach the top.

The top of the mountain was actually a small platform, just right for him to undergo tribulation.

Ying Lao said, “This is your important moment, are you ready?”

Bai Ze said, “Yes, teacher, I am fully prepared, today no matter what, I must undergo a good tribulation.”

◈◈◈

“Ah…”

Ying Lao sighed, although he wanted to persuade Bai Ze to give up the forty-nine rounds of divine thunder, and just take nine rounds, but he also knew that this matter was of utmost importance to Bai Ze.

Ying Lao said, “When undergoing tribulation, you can only rely on yourself to endure it, you cannot use any magic items, and I have no way to help you.

Therefore, everything depends on yourself.”

Bai Ze nodded, “Yes, I understand, teacher. Thank you for your guidance during this time. If it weren’t for you, a mere little demon from White Tiger Ridge, let alone have today’s achievements, I would have long been killed as a tribulation for the Journey to the West group.

The world is dangerous, countries are fragile, and human life is impermanent. Please don’t blame your disciple for wanting to withstand more heavenly thunder. Rather than being powerless when facing a crisis in the future, it’s better to put myself in a deadly situation beforehand, maybe I can even gain a chance of survival.”

When Bai Ze said he wanted to withstand more heavenly thunder, he was naturally not referring to the forty-nine rounds, he wanted to withstand the unprecedented three hundred and sixty rounds.

But Ying Lao was worried about him having to withstand forty-nine rounds of heavenly thunder, “Ah, since you have already decided, as your teacher, I can’t hold you back, I’ll just wait for your good news.”

“Okay, teacher!”

Suddenly, Bai Ze’s eyes emitted a red glow, his body shone with golden light, the three-star inner core in his dantian was operating at high speed, and spirit evil qi surged throughout his body.

Boom!

At this moment, Bai Ze finally stopped suppressing his realm, unlocked his own seal, his realm instantly broke through from the ninth level of Inner Core to the tenth level of Inner Core.

Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, surging towards Mount Uji, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, making people tremble with fear.

With a High Immortal undergoing tribulation, all the cultivators, big and small, in the Uji Kingdom looked towards Mount Uji.

And the little demons hiding in various places were even more terrified, cowering and shrinking, afraid that the heavenly thunder would fall on them.

Rumble.

The thunder clouds rolled, their aura swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, at this moment, dense dark clouds had formed over the top of Mount Uji.

Suddenly, a thunder god with a thunder god face poked his head out from the dark clouds, the god held an iron awl in one hand and a thunder hammer in the other.

The thunder god with a thunder god face said, “I am Lei Batiān, the Heavenly God of the Thunder Department, how dare a demon transform his spirit?”

Saying that, Lei Batiān struck the iron awl with his thunder hammer, a ferocious white lightning bolt was launched, tearing through the void and descending.

A demon undergoing tribulation, it had been many years since such a thing had happened. Lei Batiān, who was attracted by the tribulation information, felt that his dignity had been insulted.

Bai Ze’s small body put his hands on his hips, his childish face had a serious expression, he actually didn’t dodge the heavenly thunder at all, the bright white lightning directly struck his head, illuminating his entire body.

Bai Ze’s young body stood firm!

Lei Batiān was greatly shocked, what kind of demon was this, facing his single heavenly thunder, he didn’t even flinch?

Bai Ze continued with his hands on his hips and said, “Buddha said all living beings are equal, no one stipulates that demons cannot undergo tribulation, you are just a small god of the Thunder Department, not qualified to serve your grandpa.

The level of tribulation I am undergoing today is very high, call your Puhua Tianzun here, you are not qualified to preside over it.”

Bai Ze wanted to say “education for all”, but remembering that it was a famous saying of the Jie Sect, which would easily attract attention, he changed it to a famous Buddhist saying: “All living beings are equal.”

Anyway, he was a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, using Buddhist sayings was also justified.

“What? You dare to look down on me, Lei Batiān?”

Lei Batiān was enraged by the small child, saying that he was not qualified to preside over the child’s tribulation, and asking him to invite the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Puhua Tianzun?

Damn it!

Is our boss someone you can invite just because you want to?

“I’m going to burn you to ashes!”

Lei Batiān’s face was ferocious, he created two avatars, and the three Lei Batiāns simultaneously swung their thunder hammers, boom boom boom, and three lightning bolts fell together.

The three lightning bolts struck Bai Ze, even the ground under his feet was scorched, but the child, just stood there without moving.

Lei Batiān gasped!

Where did this demon come from?

Bai Ze roared to the sky, “Hahaha, is this what the gods of the Thunder Department are like? Your heavenly thunder is like tickling me, can you use a little more strength?

This strength isn’t even as strong as a mosquito bite, can you even do it?”

Lei Batiān roared, “You mere child, I will kill you!”

“Stop!”

Suddenly, a bright light shone through the dark clouds, and a general with flaming hair and wearing armor appeared.

Lei Batiān saluted, “Your subordinate greets Fire Head General, this demon has reached the tenth level of Inner Core, according to convention, he must accept heavenly punishment, if his heart is pure and kind, he will surely be able to endure it.”

Bai Ze shouted loudly, “Bullshit, what do you mean a kind heart can endure it?

Does your lightning avoid kind people?

But in your eyes, we demons are all evil, and if we don’t survive the tribulation, it’s natural that we are full of evil.”
