Seeing Guang Yu’er like this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but be a bit surprised. He turned his head to the strongest Immortal Lord sweetheart beside him with some curiosity and said, "Is there something wrong with the water sound? Since it’s called the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation, surely there should at least be some sort of Five Elements heavenly tribulation attack, right? This kind of water sound should indicate that the next attack is a special water attribute heavenly tribulation!"

At this moment, the strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er was looking in the direction of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva with a slightly worried expression on her little face, shaking her head and said:

"If it’s a normal water attribute attack, such as the legendary nine types of heavy water within water attribute tribulations, or the legendary nine layers of corrosive water and other water attribute attacks, it would be fine. But haven’t you heard the sounds coming from within those heavy tribulation clouds? Beyond the sound of water, there’s the wailing of countless creatures?

This is likely to be one of the most terrifying water attribute tribulations, the Netherworld Water Tribulation!"

"Netherworld Water Tribulation?"

Lin Xuankong slightly frowned.

Beside him, the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader heard these four words and became tense, nervously looking at the strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, "Immortal Lord Guang, are you sure it’s the Netherworld Water Tribulation? There are three water attribute tribulations renowned for the wailing of creatures: the Rebirth Water Tribulation, the Hell Water Tribulation, and the Netherworld Water Tribulation. The most terrifying, causing cultivators to change color at its name, is the Netherworld Water Tribulation!

It’s said that the Rebirth Water Tribulation is even scarier than all thunder attribute tribulations, and for a strongest Immortal Lord encountering it, there’s merely a one in ten chance of survival. The Hell Water Tribulation consists of waves where each subsequent wave is more powerful than the last, amplifying its force eighteen times, similarly leaving merely one in ten survivors. For these two tribulations, strongest Immortal Lords must prepare a large number of middle to high-grade immortal artifacts to possibly pass through!

Yet the Netherworld Water Tribulation is the most fearsome among these three water tribulations, much like the Celestial Spirit Fire, it cannot be resisted by any immortal artifact, magical treasure, immortal technique, or spiritual object, directly targeting the divine soul of the strongest Immortal Lord crossing it! According to historical records spanning millions of years, there have been over seven hundred strongest Immortal Lords who encountered this Netherworld Water Tribulation, yet only twelve barely survived!

It’s been said that there are traces to follow when overcoming other heavenly tribulations, but this Netherworld Water Tribulation is an untraceable special spiritual attack!"

The strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er solemnly nodded and said:

"There should be no mistake. Our Guangqing Immortal Lord’s legacy has been passed down for millions of years, and several ancestors have encountered such a tribulation, so the records about the Netherworld Water Tribulation in our Guangqing Immortal Sect are quite detailed! Judging from the sounds of human wails, demon howls, ghost cries, and spiritual howls coming from the black hole in the tribulation cloud, it must undoubtedly be the Netherworld Water Tribulation!"

Seeing the strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er so certain, the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly, "Netherworld Water Tribulation, Netherworld Water Tribulation! This time, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva probably won’t survive the fourth wave of the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Xuankong immediately furrowed his brows again.

In his heart, he thought to himself: This heavenly tribulation encountered by the strongest Immortal Lords is indeed abnormal, having so many kinds of tribulation attacks that are hard to resist even with immortal artifacts and magical treasures. If I had known it was like this, I might have triggered the final tribulation while at the Ninth Grade, making things simpler. After all, the ultimate tribulation for a Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal is sure to be a lightning tribulation, and even if it’s powerful, at least with a lot of immortal artifacts, it would be easy to get through!

However, thinking over again, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but shake his head,

This is just my own thinking! Where could other Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals find so many high-grade immortal artifacts like I have, not to mention casually creating hundreds or thousands of seventh and eighth-grade immortal artifacts. The ’impoverished state’ of the human race’s numerous immortal sects in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm makes even the wealthiest Earth Immortal struggle to find hundreds of first-grade immortal artifacts!

In such circumstances, the human Earth Immortals in the Golden Dragon Immortal Tribulation are naturally lacking confidence in overcoming the ultimate tribulation during the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal stage, leading them to continue cultivating, integrating their divine soul and immortal body, progressing to a stronger level with a longer lifespan, reaching the realms of the strongest Immortal Lord, Demon Lord, or Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva in anticipation of being better prepared to face the final heavenly tribulation over long years!

Alas, the main reason is that over countless ages, due to the ’over-exploitation and collection’ by many predecessors, the spiritual objects, treasures, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm have become too scarce, leaving the Earth Immortals, demons, and Bodhisattvas very impoverished!

From this, it seems that my crossing into this Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, relying on the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate and various talents, coupled with meeting Miss Xiao Xiuyi and acquiring a strong path of artifact refining, have indeed brought some hope to the cultivation community of the human race in this resource-depleted Golden Dragon Immortal Realm?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

Nearby, the strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er noticed Lin Xuankong suddenly smiling strangely and couldn’t help but glare at him, "The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva might be in trouble this time! How can you laugh at such a moment? I’m almost dying of worry!"

Lin Xuankong: ....

After his gaze slightly shifted, Lin Xuankong put away his smile and looked seriously at Guang Yu’er and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader and said: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Actually, with the terrifying celestial spirit fire tribulation earlier, I had some concerns about whether the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva could overcome it. But though the Netherworld Water Tribulation is terrifying, it ultimately targets spiritual attacks of the water attribute on the divine soul!

In my view, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva will likely pass this fourth wave of the Netherworld Water Tribulation, so Elder Clan Leader and Yu’er, you need not worry!"

The reason Lin Xuankong said this,

is naturally due to the divine soul realm of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

Lin Xuankong himself possesses the supreme realm divine soul of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm and has cultivated the Guangqing Illusion Technique to perfection. Even the Immortal Lord Kunyuan, Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan, and his own master, the Immortal Lord Luoshui, along with the first Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Elder Qiu, never noticed he was using illusion techniques. Yet this Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva sensed it the first time they met, clearly detecting Lin Xuankong’s use of illusion techniques!

Though this is partly because the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva is a Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of the Spirit Platform Buddhism and cultivated the Buddhist Celestial Eye Divine Techniques, Lin Xuankong is certain that this Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s divine soul realm is incredibly close to the supreme realm divine soul of the Immortal Realm, and despite not matching his own or the Sect Master of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, it’s not too far off!

Given such a strong divine soul, overcoming a heavenly tribulation targeting it should considerably increase the success rate!

But while Lin Xuankong knows all this, where would others learn it from?

"No need to worry? You do have a lot of confidence in the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva. If that’s true, it would be wonderful!" The strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er furrowed her brows, clearly not having much faith in Lin Xuankong’s words.

The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader also furrowed his brows tightly, restlessly treading with his hooves.

For Lin Xuankong, who is extraordinarily talented in the Path of Array Formation and Path of Artifact Refining, the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader has much respect and admiration. Thus, even if internally disagreeing, he didn’t casually retort like Lin Xuankong’s young sweetheart Guang Yu’er. Nevertheless, this Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader evidently has little confidence in the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva overcoming this fourth wave of the Netherworld Water Tribulation!

As for the other cultivators within the Luo Water Array, and the young talents from various immortal sects and clans gathered there, hearing the discussion from afar, they all wore grave expressions, each lacking any sense of confidence.

However, the Little Bodhisattva Galin Bodhisattva from the Spirit Platform Buddhism, upon hearing Guang Yu’er and the Qilin Clan Leader speak of the Netherworld Water Tribulation, actually had her eyes light up.
