I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050: Chapter 434: Immortal Skill Change Form, Age Milestone Tribulation_2 Chapter 1050: Chapter 434: Immortal Skill Change Form, Age Milestone Tribulation_2 Within the Time Cycle Domain, the Year Star Mountain Lake is special because at the summit of Year Star Mountain, there is an oddity connected to the whole domain being nurtured. This oddity causes the summit of Year Star Mountain to be covered with dense thunder year-round. The thunder-related laws within the domain are strong, and if one were to draw the Immortal Tribulation here, the first wave of Thunder Tribulation would be much more substantial and powerful than in other places. The body of a true immortal, transformed through the Thunder Tribulation, would be tinged with a hint of this oddity’s aura, establishing a more solid Immortal Path foundation than other immortals.

Of course, the powerful thunder also means that Half-immortal-level cultivators attempting to transcend here face much greater dangers than elsewhere.

For Half-immortals undergoing the Immortal Tribulation, it is both a challenge and an opportunity for Immortal Affinity.

In the history of the Age Candle Immortal Mansion, only Half-immortals of great strength, extraordinary talent, and outstanding aptitude dare to choose the Year Star Mountain for crossing the Immortal Tribulation.

There are two ways to choose to undergo the Immortal Tribulation on Year Star Mountain. One is to declare to the Immortal Mansion and set a time, inviting Half-immortals to witness the tribulation. This method allows the Half-immortals to mentally prepare and gather momentum. When the time comes, they would face the Immortal Tribulation, and moreover, there would be Immortals to protect them during the tribulation, preventing any outside interferences.

The second method is to directly come to face the tribulation, which is much simpler: no witnesses are invited, and there is no protection by Immortals.

However, there are very few who choose the second method because the Immortal Tribulation is difficult to overcome by itself, and Year Star Mountain naturally increases this difficulty – acting recklessly undoubtedly means facing even greater peril.

But Han Yi was not one of them.

His accumulation had already reached a 99 percent certainty of successfully transcending the tribulation fifty years ago, and now, fifty years later, it had grown so substantial that he was even struggling to control it himself. It’s no exaggeration to say that the current him, facing Dai Zhe once more, needn’t take such risks and could still easily triumph.

In the Time Cycle Domain, Han Yi’s figure appeared quietly, and then he flew straight toward Year Star Mountain.

As he just entered Suichen Lake, before even approaching the majestic Immortal Peak at the center of the lake, Han Yi began to release the restraints on himself. Suddenly, thunder roared in the high sky. The flickering of the thunder made the perennial thunder light above Year Star Mountain tremble slightly. Then, the lower layer of thunder light began to disperse, and amidst a low rumbling sound, a vast power began to spread out.

“The aura of the Immortal Tribulation, is someone transcending?”

“What’s going on? Who has triggered the Immortal Tribulation? There hasn’t been any announcement of someone undergoing it lately.”

Within the Time Cycle Domain, among the undulating mountain ranges outside of Suichen Lake, there are usually many cultivators who train there.

These cultivators often possess thunder attributes, ranging from Qi Cultivating Cultivators to Half-immortals. Although the Time Cycle Domain is not a thunder domain, affected by the nurturing of the oddity of thunder, understanding and learning thunder attribute magic skills here are twice as effective.

Thus, when no Half-immortals are transcending their tribulations, this place attracts many thunder attribute cultivators to discreetly cultivate.

At this moment, when the domain’s cultivators sensed the aura of the Immortal Tribulation, those Qi Cultivating, Foundation Establishment, and Gold Core cultivators almost without thinking grabbed their tokens and teleported away instantly. For them, who are of lower cultivation levels, Half-immortals undergoing tribulation can have a cataclysmic effect. Even observing from a distance could lead to destruction by the forces released during the tribulation.

Meanwhile, the remaining Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Half-immortal cultivators showed expressions of great joy. Half-immortals were in Suichen Lake, Spirit Transformation cultivators at the edge of the mountain range outside Suichen Lake, and Nascent Soul cultivators had to be even further away.

Witnessing a Half-immortal overcoming the tribulation is a significant opportunity for them.

In outside Immortal Sects, Half-immortals often choose isolated places shielded from the world to undergo their tribulation, protected by True Immortals or even Profound Immortals from their sects to prevent outside disturbances.

Even within the Immortal Courts, many hidden places are allocated to allow Half-immortals to transcend their tribulations. While these secluded areas can block prying eyes, they are considered ordinary regions and do not have the wondrous properties of the Time Cycle Domain.

It’s all up to the personal choice of the Half-immortal.

Therefore, suddenly encountering a Half-immortal who breaks into Year Star Mountain and triggers the Immortal Tribulation is quite rare. Only figures like the previous Half-immortal, Wei Sheng, would attract countless cultivators to witness the tribulation.

Han Yi paid no attention to the reactions of the original cultivators within the Time Cycle Domain.

He simply headed straight towards Year Star Mountain. As he arrived at the base of the mountain and looked up at the sky, the thunderclouds at the peak had turned into a dark mass. What started as a low rumble of thunder had escalated into roaring loudness. Black lightning tumbled within, appearing like an apocalypse.

A heavy aura of suppression descended from the sky, landing on Han Yi. A hundred meters beneath Han Yi’s feet, the water of Suichen Lake suddenly shook as if struck by an invisible colossal force and scattered in all directions, the water level dropping by more than thirty feet.

Crash!

Waves surged up to several tens of feet before crashing down again, their undulations spreading outwards. The entire Suichen Lake seemed to come alive.

“Hisss, the first wave of Thunder Tribulation has triggered such powerful Immortal Tribulation might.”

“Such might is much more ferocious than when Jiang Yue underwent his Immortal Tribulation here ten years ago.”

“Who is this person, really?”

The cultivators all showed shocked expressions.

One of the young Half-immortals closer to the center, upon seeing Han Yi’s true face, suddenly had his pupils contract.

“Han Yi.”

“It’s actually Han Yi.”

“A hundred years ago, he was still at the Spirit Transformation level, and now he has grown to the point where he can welcome the Immortal Tribulation?”

“`
If Han Yi were here, he would recognize this Half-Immortal; he was the same Half-Immortal-level cultivator who had participated in the Immortal Envoy Assessment with him, named Zhang Meng.

Back then, Han Yi had passed through ten Projection Worlds, ranking first, while Zhang Meng had managed four, taking second place. However, almost no one remembered him for being second because, in that assessment, Han Yi had been too outstanding, drawing the attention of many dojos who came forward to recruit him. As such, Zhang Meng seemed rather ordinary in comparison, though his mentality had always been good, devoid of jealousy or any negative emotions.

After becoming an Immortal Envoy, Zhang Meng also paid attention to and inquired about Han Yi. He found that after that Immortal Envoy Assessment, Han Yi did indeed become a Half-Immortal not long after, but subsequently, there was hardly any news that sparked heated debate, and from then on, he faded into obscurity.

In the records of the Righteous Palace regarding Han Yi, it was not noted which dojo he had joined to become an outer Half-Immortal.

For a while, Zhang Meng thought Han Yi’s brilliance was but a fleeting phenomenon. In the million-year history of the Immortal Court, such dazzling cultivators were not uncommon. Below the level of True Immortal, they were exceptionally brilliant, yet they were halted by the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, wasting away as time passed. Even worse, some harbored inner demons, forcibly attempted the tribulation, and eventually turned to ash amidst the Immortal Tribulation.

At this moment.

Seeing Han Yi again so unexpectedly, and with such an unrestrained posture, Zhang Meng suddenly realized that the other wasn’t fading into obscurity but was in hiding.

A century spent in hiding could lead to ascending to immortality in a single day.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng subconsciously held his breath, for he knew that what was to follow was the birth of a powerful True Immortal.

This True Immortal had, in the Spirit Transformation Level Realm, pierced through the projection of the Void Tower and stepped into the true Void Tower, facing the Immortal directly.

Once he became a True Immortal, how terrifying would his combat power be?

As Zhang Meng’s face showed shock, the Year Star Mountain Lake underwent another change.

At this moment.

As Han Yi arrived at the foot of Year Star Mountain, the thunderclouds above his head seemed to sense something, began to expand outward, further and further, until they enveloped a large portion of Suichen Lake before finally stopping.

The fearsome thunderclouds forced the nearby Half-Immortal-level cultivators, who were originally on Suichen Lake, to change their expressions drastically and retreat to the surrounding mountain ranges.

“What?”

“Who can withstand a Thunder Tribulation of such magnitude?”

“It’s terrifying. Just who is this Half-Immortal?”

Zhang Meng, who had retreated dozens of miles away, had a shocked expression on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Han Yi beneath the thunderclouds, not missing a single moment of this earth-shattering Immortal Tribulation.

Below the thunderclouds.

Han Yi looked up at the sky.

“The Immortal Ascension Tribulation has three stages.”

“The first stage, the Thunder Tribulation, consists of eighty-one immortal thunderbolts and thirteen Law thunderbolts.”

“If that’s the case, then let them come.”

At the thought, Han Yi released all the suppressions that he had kept to the extreme, all at once.

Upon this release, his aura burst forth in an instant, breaking through the limits of a Half-Immortal, stepping into the Realm of True Immortal.

Though it was only a moment, the Immortal Tribulation was sentient. Within it, the existence of one who had not yet undergone the tribulation but had already become an immortal was naturally not permitted.

The earlier expansion of the thundercloud was also because the Immortal Tribulation sensed a trace, exceedingly faint, of True Immortal aura emanating from Han Yi.

In the blink of an eye.

Thunder filled the sky, thundering down from the peak of Year Star Mountain like the light of apocalypse, striking Han Yi.

The Half-Immortals, who continued to retreat fearing being caught in the Immortal Tribulation, saw this bolt of Thunder Shock hit Han Yi without him appearing to defend himself. They were ready to cry out in shock, but in the next moment, beneath the thunder, another change occurred.

They saw a hand tearing through the thick lightning.

Han Yi, who tore open the lightning, though streaming with thunderous light, had not a single wound on him.

He raised his head to look upward, his gaze distant. He spoke the first words after the appearance, his voice deep, echoing around the mountain lake.

“Is that all?”

“Not enough, far from enough.”
