The cultivators who could come to the bottom of the River of No Life were naturally not weaklings, almost all of them being extremely sensitive to treasures. Now that the Immortal Realm powerhouse said they were leaving behind these ants, it would be idiotic not to know that these powerhouses wanted to kill them.

As soon as these words came out, everyone used all means at their disposal and fled in all directions like madmen.

If they were outside, five people might have been confident in keeping all these hundreds of people here. But now they were at the bottom of the River of No Life, and all five of them had used Rule Talismans, which suppressed their strength. With so many cultivators fleeing in all directions, the five of them simply couldn't catch them all at once.

Mo Wuji fled even more frantically. Fortunately, no one noticed that he wasn't fleeing towards the river surface, but deeper into the River of No Life.

Half a day later, Mo Wuji arrived at the location of the black vortex. The black vortex hadn't emerged yet, so Mo Wuji could only hide and wait anxiously.

At the same time, on the surface of the River of No Life, most of the Celestial Immortal cultivators who rushed up, except for a few who were extremely fast or had some tricks up their sleeves, were locked down and captured by the five powerhouses.

This was the disadvantage of escaping at the bottom of the river. If it were somewhere else, with so many people fleeing in different directions, it would be difficult to catch them if the five powerhouses didn't catch them immediately.

Now that the five powerhouses at the bottom of the river couldn't catch anyone for the time being, they simply waited by the river surface, like waiting for rabbits to run into a trap.

Po Feng was the last to arrive at the River of No Life. Among the five powerhouses from the Immortal Realm, his strength was clearly the greatest.

At this moment, his gaze shifted from the hundred or so captured Celestial Immortal cultivators to the other four Immortal Realm powerhouses, and then he said, "Fellow Daoists, the gourd must be on one of us. As for who it is, I believe the truth will come out soon. As for those who escaped, I believe we can find them out soon too."

"What if someone is still at the bottom of the river and hasn't come out?" A short man snorted, disagreeing with Po Feng's words.

Po Feng was slightly startled, but then he understood that the other party was right. What if someone didn't escape but stayed at the bottom of the river?

"No matter who it is, I believe someone will know as long as they come to the River of No Life," Po Feng replied.

The bottom of the River of No Life was boundless. If someone really stayed there, it would be difficult for them to find out with their strength.

...

Mo Wuji waited for about an hour and a half before the black vortex finally emerged. Mo Wuji immediately plunged into it.

Almost at the same time as Mo Wuji plunged into the black vortex, a powerful and shocking divine sense swept over. This divine sense was several times stronger than the previous five.

This divine sense paused at the place where Mo Wuji had been staying, but quickly moved away again. The divine sense swept past the vortex at the bottom of the river, seemingly not finding anything and not stopping.

The five powerhouses who had come to the surface of the River of No Life also felt this divine sense at this moment. They immediately bowed down and respectfully said, "Greetings, Celestial Emperor."

"Which of you obtained the things of the Wu Sheng Dao Sect?" The divine sense came from the void, carrying an irresistible majesty.

Po Feng was the strongest, and he knew that with the Celestial Emperor's intervention, even if the gourd was found, it wouldn't be his. Even though he knew it wouldn't be his, he still had to step forward and bow, replying, "The gourd disappeared out of thin air. We are currently searching for it."

The oppressive aura of the divine sense in the void dissipated, and a faint figure slowly emerged.

...

At this moment, Mo Wuji had already stepped onto the ninth step of the Immortal Ascension Ladder. His figure gradually disappeared from the Immortal Ascension Ladder and entered the mist at the top of the golden Immortal Ascension Ladder.

Mo Wuji's vortex domain extended out, and the pressure of the Immortal Ascension Ladder was almost nonexistent to him.

Several hours later, Mo Wuji felt a lightness all over his body, followed by a powerful force that lifted him up.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji was thrown down from mid-air and landed in the middle of a ruin.

A dense immortal spiritual energy came over, and Mo Wuji felt his meridians completely unblocked even before he started cultivating.

His divine sense swept out, revealing a misty expanse beyond the ruins he was in, a series of overlapping mountain ranges.

It seemed like this was the Immortal Realm. After coming out of the Immortal Ascension Ladder at the bottom of the River of No Life, it shouldn't be a fixed place, but a random teleportation location. He just didn't know which immortal domain he was in.

Just as Mo Wuji was wondering where he was, a vast and powerful aura locked onto him, and the sky above him turned gloomy.

It was actually a Lightning Tribulation?

Mo Wuji looked up at the dense dark clouds and the lightning flashing in the clouds above him, feeling puzzled. He was clearly not yet at the time to undergo the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation. Since it wasn't the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation, what was this Lightning Tribulation of his?

Did every cultivator who came out of the Immortal Ascension Ladder at the bottom of the River of No Life need to undergo this kind of Lightning Tribulation?

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji felt a little worried.

It wasn't that he was worried about his own Lightning Tribulation. He had already passed the terrifying Lightning Tribulation when he condensed his Immortal World. What Lightning Tribulation could make him worried? He was worried about Lou Chuanhe, Ku Ya, and the others. If Lou Chuanhe and the others had this kind of Lightning Tribulation as soon as they came out, how many of them could truly survive in the Immortal Realm?

"Boom boom boom!" Nine thick arcs of lightning crashed down. Mo Wuji couldn't think about anything else and directly threw out several punches.

"Crack crack crack crack!" The nine arcs of lightning landed on Mo Wuji's body, and even Mo Wuji himself could hear the chilling sound of his bones breaking.

"Bang!" A pile of dirt was directly blown away, and Mo Wuji was blasted into a muddy pit.

This was only the first wave of Lightning Tribulation arcs. At this moment, Mo Wuji completely understood that he had underestimated the power of the Immortal Realm's Lightning Tribulation. Even if he passed this kind of Lightning Tribulation, he would be in a state of extreme weakness.

Several healing immortal pills were swallowed by Mo Wuji, and the Half-Moon Green Halberd was released by Mo Wuji.

Ever since he could absorb lightning sources, Mo Wuji had rarely used magic treasures to assist him in transcending tribulations. Now, he had no choice but to release his magic treasure.

"Boom boom boom!" The second wave of Lightning Tribulation crashed down, still nine arcs of lightning. Compared to the first wave of lightning arcs, Mo Wuji felt that the second wave was much stronger.

Mo Wuji didn't care about anything else. The Half-Moon Green Halberd transformed into countless half-moon halberd rays, blasting towards the lightning arcs. At the same time, several lightning swords were blasted out. All of his meridians were rotating in reverse at full capacity, forming a huge cosmic cycle.

The lightning arcs that struck his body began to be swept into his meridians, turning into Mo Wuji's cultivation.

The vitality of the Life Meridian quickly nourished Mo Wuji's cracked bones, merging with the medicinal properties of the immortal pills to speed up the recovery of Mo Wuji's injuries.

Before Mo Wuji's injuries had completely recovered, the third and fourth waves of Lightning Tribulation fell at the same time. Mo Wuji opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Several of his meridians were directly broken under these two waves of Lightning Tribulation.

What a powerful Lightning Tribulation, Mo Wuji thought to himself in shock. Even the dense Lightning Tribulation arcs when he condensed his small world weren't as powerful as this Lightning Tribulation.

What exactly was going on?

"Crack!" Mo Wuji's lumbar spine was directly broken. Even with the Life Meridian and Storage Meridian constantly repairing his body, he couldn't stand up. His recovery ability couldn't keep up with the extent of his injuries.

Mo Wuji felt the threat of death for the first time. Seeing the dark clouds in the sky gathering again, Mo Wuji knew that if he didn't come up with a solution, he might die under this Lightning Tribulation.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji grabbed three cyan pills and swallowed them at once, then grabbed a pile of immortal crystals and threw them around him. While the Storage Meridian was repairing his meridians, his other meridians frantically condensed immortal spiritual energy, charging towards the Golden Immortal realm.

It wasn't that Mo Wuji was crazy, but he knew that this was his only way out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed three Fallen Dust Immortal Pills in one go.

He couldn't withstand this Lightning Tribulation in the first place. If he added the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation, he might be completely annihilated in one go.

But the fact was that if he didn't trigger the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation, his cultivation wouldn't increase. If his cultivation didn't increase, he could only wait for death under this kind of Lightning Tribulation.

If he triggered the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation and fortunately advanced to the Golden Immortal realm, he might be able to survive.

The violent immortal spiritual energy directly bombarded Mo Wuji's Celestial Immortal cultivation bottleneck. Mo Wuji's cultivation bottleneck trembled again and again.

"Crack crack crack crack!" Another wave of Lightning Tribulation crashed down, and Mo Wuji's newly fused bones continued to break. Not only did the violent Lightning Tribulation in the sky not weaken, but it also increased by more than double.

Mo Wuji was very clear that he had triggered the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation. Whether he lived or died depended on whether he could break through the Celestial Immortal shackles and advance to the Golden Immortal in the next wave of lightning arcs.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!" This space was filled with frantic lightning flashes, and the entire space was filled with blue and dark lightning arcs, leaving no room for survival.

Dozens of lightning arcs crashed down together, and the aura of death filled Mo Wuji's soul. His sea of consciousness was trembling, and his soul was groaning.

The Half-Moon Green Halberd drew out rays of halberd light, directly blasting towards the lightning tribulation arcs in the sky. A web of lightning and lightning swords were also released by Mo Wuji. Two rank two immortal artifact shields that had been refined were also released by Mo Wuji.

At this time, however many lightning tribulation arcs he could block, that was how many he would block.

"Crackling, crack crack crack!"

The two shields were directly blasted into slag by the lightning arcs. Mo Wuji's lightning web and lightning swords only resisted for a moment before being torn apart by the dense lightning tribulation arcs. The Half-Moon Green Halberd was directly blasted into a half-moon and a Heavenly Machine Staff.

The endless lightning arcs densely bombarded Mo Wuji's body. Mo Wuji could no longer withstand this terrifying bombardment of lightning arcs. At the moment when the shackles from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal were broken, he fainted for the first time in a tribulation.

A hundred and eight meridians rotated frantically in reverse. Even if Mo Wuji was injured all over and fainted, he couldn't stop Mo Wuji's strength from increasing madly.

In his coma, Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness stretched out endlessly, and his meridians continued to expand. When another two waves of lightning tribulation arcs crashed down together, Mo Wuji didn't even need to act. His body directly began to absorb these lightning sources, stabilizing his Golden Immortal cultivation.
