Under the night sky of the Eastern Region Divine Continent.

Gu Liantian carried Gu Feng on his back, riding a golden light, speeding along the way.

Jiu Long, shrouded in black smoke, followed closely behind.

Their destination was clear from the start: the vast and boundless Boundless Sea.

Only there, far from Heroic Spirit City, and even away from the Eastern Region, could Gu Feng peacefully begin his tribulation crossing.

Lying quietly on Gu Liantian's broad back, the turbulent spiritual energy within Gu Feng had gradually calmed due to the seal.

But this was only temporary. He quietly extended his divine sense into his Dantian Spiritual Sea to observe. Although the situation was much better than before, a considerable amount of spiritual energy was still pouring into his spiritual sea through the Immortal Spirit Communication formation.

"Father... I've embarrassed you again..." Gu Feng said with blood at the corner of his mouth, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

Gu Liantian suddenly accelerated the speed of the light, and with a sound of breaking through the air, their figures shot straight into the clouds.

"Silly child, why talk about such things between us?"

At this moment, Gu Liantian's heart ached. He knew Gu Feng too well. This boy had been different since childhood, often having strange ideas, but his personality was very lazy, unwilling to compete.

Now, to bring honor to his father, the City Lord, who knows what method he used to break through from Qi Refining Stage Three to Golden Elixir tribulation crossing in such a short time.

In the cultivation world, with his profound cultivation, Gu Liantian knew that this kind of impatient cultivation method was very risky. Even if one successfully breaks through, it might leave hidden dangers, which are not beneficial for a cultivator's path.

Forcing growth damages the roots, a very basic principle.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

How much suffering Gu Feng endured, how much pain he bore, as a father, he knew nothing!

Sometimes Gu Liantian even thought, if Gu Feng could be born into an ordinary family, even as a mortal with no cultivation power, he would be happier than being his son.

Gu Liantian had secretly vowed in his heart that if the Elders in the family continued to target Gu Feng, he would risk his life, even if it meant not being the City Lord, to protect him.

The three of them flew swiftly, and soon they had left the territory of the Eastern Region, arriving above the Boundless Sea.

Not far away, Gu Liantian spotted a small island. Using his divine sense, he found that aside from some unintelligent birds and beasts, the island was mostly deserted.

Without saying much, he signaled Jiu Long and descended onto the island.

The two landed one after the other, and Gu Liantian immediately found an open space to set Gu Feng down.

Jiu Long cautiously scouted the entire island, eliminating any aggressive beasts, and set up layers of restrictions around the island.

"Feng, soon I will remove the seal on you, and the Golden Elixir tribulation will descend. Jiu Long and I will guard you. We are tens of thousands of miles away from Heroic Spirit City, so you can safely undergo your tribulation."

Supporting Gu Feng's shaky body, Gu Liantian said worriedly, "When the tribulation descends, there's only so much I can do to help you. You must face it yourself. Remember, keep your mind steady, don't waver. The Golden Elixir tribulation is nothing to fear. At worst, if you really can't withstand it, I won't let you die!"

Gu Liantian didn't say that if Gu Feng seemed unable to withstand it, he would personally disperse the Golden Elixir tribulation. With his cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult if he gave it his all.

But if he did that, Gu Feng's Dao foundation would be destroyed, and he would become a mere mortal.

Nodding, Gu Feng said slowly, "Don't worry, Father, I know what I'm doing."

Gu Liantian remained silent, retreated dozens of meters, and with a wave of his hand, released the seal on Gu Feng.

As the seal was lifted, the spiritual sea within Gu Feng surged violently. The Innate Dao Embryo suspended above the spiritual sea began to dance freely as if unbound, while the blue destiny divine sense followed with a burst of blue light.

The entire Dantian Spiritual Sea was in chaos!

Above Gu Feng, thunderclouds slowly formed in the sky. The surrounding spiritual energy, sensing the change, gathered and stirred, forming a unique thunder tribulation cloud vortex!

"Feng! The thunder tribulation is coming, be careful!" Gu Liantian shouted nervously.

Jiu Long sighed and remarked, "Every cultivator goes through this. Since you've chosen the path of cultivation, you must be prepared to face challenges. You're a bit too overprotective."

Gu Liantian pursed his lips, rarely raising an eyebrow, and scolded, "You've never had a son, so you don't understand my feelings! It's easy to talk when you're not in my shoes!"

Jiu Long rolled his eyes and said no more.

The thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker, and the thunder tribulation cloud vortex finally descended, enveloping Gu Feng.

Within the thunderclouds, a bright lightning bolt struck down towards the seated Gu Feng with a loud crash!

Gu Feng was jolted by the lightning but felt no pain or itch.

"What’s with this heavenly thunder, why is it so weak?"

Puzzled, Gu Feng didn't let his guard down. He immediately activated the Heavenly Insight Mysterious Embryo Strategy, using the Innate Dao Embryo to absorb the power of the thunder tribulation.

The power of the thunder tribulation is the divine might of the tribulation, akin to a potent medicine, greatly beneficial to a cultivator's body and Dao foundation. However, if the cultivator cannot withstand or control this power, it will backfire, destroying the body and dissipating the spiritual soul!

The greatest benefit and danger of tribulation crossing lie here!

As the first thunder tribulation struck, Gu Feng's Innate Dao Embryo absorbed the power effortlessly, leaving no trace.

Gu Feng was utterly bewildered; this was too easy!

The second thunder tribulation followed, and Gu Feng still felt nothing, not even a tremor in his body!

When the third thunder tribulation struck, Gu Feng touched his head, not a spark in sight. After absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation, the Innate Dao Embryo even stretched lazily and yawned.
