Nearby, Cao Xue was lying on the ground in a disheveled state while holding a giant egg-shaped object.

The Chen brothers were supporting each other.

Xiahou Bo was cautiously controlling his artifact.

Gou Guangming was excitedly holding a seemingly ordinary sprout.

Gou Zhi was covered in blood.

Gou Heng...

"Good! Everyone made it out safely!" Fu Young nodded in satisfaction.

Before he could say anything further, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, followed by rolling thunder and crackling lightning.

Gou Guangming, Gou Zhi, Gou Heng, Gou Yue, Cao Xue, and Xiahou Bo were all experienced cultivators, they simultaneously cried out in shock and said, "Thunder Tribulation!"

"Yes. Mine and my master’s tribulation," Fu Young said calmly.

He took out a Tier 4 teleportation talisman, intending to move Xiao Shou away to a distant place to undergo the tribulation.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a cracking sound.

He turned toward the source and saw the boundary stone breaking apart and shattering.

Everyone was greatly alarmed.

Chen Zhiyi exclaimed in shock, "The strange stone shattered. What is going on? Could it be that it cannot withstand so many people entering and exiting at once? It is my fault. How could I not have thought of that?"

The value of the secret realm was indeed tempting enough to move hearts.

Even usually steady people had become flustered.

However, either one of those two, or perhaps both of them together, were even greedier than he had expected.

Fu Young smiled and said calmly, "It is not your problem. This stone is attached to the secret realm membrane. If the stone breaks, there is only one possibility. The membrane has been damaged, which means the secret realm has been destroyed."

"The membrane is broken?"

"The secret realm is destroyed?"

"How could that be?" Everyone looked shocked and disbelieving.

"Maybe there was some kind of accident. In any case, we are all out now and should have gained something good. There is no need to worry about the secret realm anymore." Fu Young said this just as the weight in his arms suddenly lightened.

His most beloved master jumped down beside him.

A hand gently rested on his shoulder.

"Was I a little late waking up?"

"No. Just right." Fu Young looked at the man standing beside him with complete focus, unwilling to even blink.

Xiao Shou felt the new power within his body and looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds were growing thicker, lightning weaving through them as if ready to strike at any moment.

Only then did he remember that both he and Fu Young cultivated techniques that brought a thunder tribulation every major realm breakthrough.

Before entering the secret realm, Fu Young was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now he was at the Nascent Soul stage, meaning he would face tribulation for both Golden Core and Nascent Soul together.

Before entering, Xiao Shou had been at the Qi Refining stage.

Now he had also reached Nascent Soul, so his tribulation would likely include Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul all at once.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shou’s expression darkened.

He grabbed Fu Young’s hand and said, "Divine Movement, ten thousand miles."

Their figures blurred and instantly vanished from where they stood.

The dark clouds in the sky followed them, rapidly shifting toward the southwest direction of White Silver City.

Gou Guangming asked in confusion, "Did he just say Divine Movement Ten Thousand Miles and then disappear?"

"No talisman was used," Gou Zhi added expressionlessly.

"Not a single hand seal either," Gou Heng said.

"If it is not a spell, then what is it?" Gou Yue asked, completely baffled.

Gou Guangming let out a bitter laugh. "What exactly is Senior Xiao’s cultivation level?"

"None of that matters. The key point is that the sect master and senior brother are undergoing tribulation together. The thunder tribulation will definitely be amplified. Can they survive it? No, I have to go take a look."

As he spoke, Cao Xue casually put away the giant egg into his storage bag.

Just as he stepped onto his magic artifact, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell straight off, landing face-first on the ground.

"Ha." Gou Guangming sighed and stepped forward to help him up.

He thought to himself that this fate was truly special.

Just taking a few steps away from the protagonist and he could run into all kinds of misfortune.

The fact that he was still alive was a miracle.

He patted Cao Xue’s shoulder in comfort and said, "I will go take a look as well. Observing the process of transcending heavenly tribulation will be very beneficial for us cultivators."

"Senior, may we follow along?" Chen Zhiyi and his brothers exchanged glances with Xiahou Bo before asking.

Gou Guangming nodded and said seriously, "You may."

"Thank you, senior."

...

Fu Young only felt a blur before his eyes and, like instant teleportation, he had arrived at a new place.

Yet he was certain his master had not used any talismans or tools.

Without hesitation, his eyes lit up as he asked, "Master, is this your bloodline divine ability?"

"Law of the Earth." Seeing his beloved disciple looking at him expectantly, Xiao Shou who had always considered everything except his Absolute Fusion ability to not be a secret trump card, began to explain. "It means my words can command the earth. Anything I say related to the land will become reality. That is my bloodline divine ability."

"Very powerful." Fu Young praised sincerely, then said enviously, "I also want such a powerful ability."

Xiao Shou looked at the gathering thunder tribulation and gave a wry smile. "It is not as exaggerated as you think. My ability has a weakness. Using it consumes a special kind of power. This power cannot be increased through cultivation. It can only be accumulated through my hair absorbing certain particles from the earth, which then condense into my hair. Only then can it become the power of my Law of the Earth."
