My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!

"Is it, the third senior brother is about to ascend?" Gu Qingqing looked at Nan Hua’s courtyard with some excitement.

Although they all knew that Nan Hua would definitely ascend to the Half-step Immortal Rank, until it actually happened, no one could be certain. The current commotion clearly indicated that Nan Hua was about to ascend, and she was naturally happy for him.

Jun Wu had a trace of surprise in his eyes, then turned to Gu Qingqing, "There will be a thunder tribulation during ascension. We should stay away from his courtyard to avoid increasing the difficulty of his tribulation."

Gu Qingqing nodded, then walked out together with Jun Wu.

As they reached the door, they saw Rong Ye coming out from inside. The three exchanged glances and simultaneously walked towards the distance.

Previously, Si Lin had gone through a tribulation at Lingxi Sacred Land, so the disciples there were already prepared. Now that they sensed the unusual spiritual energy in the air, everyone immediately reacted and ran outside.

At the same time, in the sky above Nan Hua’s courtyard, a large mass of black clouds was gathering, the clouds were thick, and faint silver lightning appeared above.

Inside Nan Hua’s room, he was already surrounded by a vortex formed by Spiritual Energy. In the vortex, his eyes were closed, and the expression on his face was somewhat grim at the moment. The influx of Spiritual Energy into his body was too much, and his meridians were faintly aching. He could only frantically operate his cultivation technique, continuously converting the Spiritual Power entering his body into his own Spiritual Power, and his cultivation was steadily rising.

In the sky, the black clouds grew thicker, and the pressure became stronger and stronger. Those watching Nan Hua’s tribulation from afar, including Gu Qingqing and others, had to retreat further to distance themselves from Nan Hua’s courtyard.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Spiritual Power within Nan Hua reached a bottleneck. He opened his eyes and looked up.

In the sky, the first bolt of Heavenly Thunder fell without warning, moving swiftly, and struck Nan Hua’s rooftop in the blink of an eye.

"Crack!"

The roof broke with a sound, and Nan Hua’s figure flew out from within.

He quickly formed a seal with his hands, and an array about two meters in diameter appeared beneath his feet. Just as the seal was successfully formed, the second Heavenly Thunder swiftly fell. A golden light flashed over Nan Hua’s head, and the array he had just drawn served to block this bolt of Heavenly Thunder, the golden light flickered but did not break.

The third heavenly thunder soon fell as well, striking the golden light barrier, and the Heavenly Thunder vanished again, while the golden light became slightly weaker.

Next, the fourth Heavenly Thunder fell on the golden light barrier, after the Heavenly Thunder disappeared, the light barrier became shaky, clearly unable to hold much longer.

Nan Hua frowned, bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood, then quickly formed seals with his hands again to draw another array. As his blood disappeared, another array appeared within the golden light barrier.

The fifth Heavenly Thunder struck at this moment, directly shattering the previous golden light barrier into pieces. Then, the remaining force of the Heavenly Thunder fell onto the newly drawn array. This time, the array’s light turned golden-red, appearing even more dazzling than before.

Then came the sixth, seventh, and eighth Heavenly Thunders. Although the color of the golden-red array dimmed a lot, it still remained.

The ninth Heavenly Thunder fell after about half an hour.

The power of this Heavenly Thunder was the sum of the previous thunders, and it instantly shattered the golden-red array with overwhelming force. Although Nan Hua was prepared with two more arrays to counter the last thunder, they were both shattered by the ninth thunder.

However, these arrays also consumed a portion of the Heavenly Thunder’s power, so when it finally fell on Nan Hua, its power was only a quarter of the original.

Struck by the Heavenly Thunder, Nan Hua’s body instantly became numb. He frowned, the feeling was both painful and refreshing. Nearly half of the meridians inside his body were shattered, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth and he looked quite battered.

But he persevered through these nine Heavenly Thunders, and the clouds above his head dissipated instantly. Sunlight poured down from above, falling on him, and the numbing sensation faded significantly.

Then spiritual rain began to fall, a blessing from the Heavenly Dao for those who endured the tribulation and successfully advanced to the Half-step Immortal Rank. Under the nourishment of the spiritual rain, Nan Hua’s internal injuries recovered rapidly, the previously damaged meridians were instantly rebuilt, not only more resilient than before but also much wider, able to accommodate more Spiritual Power.

The Spiritual Power within him, almost depleted in order to resist the Heavenly Thunder, was quickly restored. His cultivation technique ran swiftly, recovering the Spiritual Power within him.

At the same time, the disciples near Nan Hua’s courtyard were also cleansed by the spiritual rain, and their Spiritual Power increased significantly, becoming much purer as well, even Gu Qingqing and the others felt their cultivation improved slightly.

After half an hour, the spiritual rain gradually disappeared, and Nan Hua, sitting cross-legged amidst the ruins, slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the abundant Spiritual Power inside him, and the power he had never felt before, Nan Hua couldn’t help but curl his lips.

The Half-step Immortal Rank, he had finally reached it!

"Third senior brother, congratulations on your promotion to the Half-step Immortal Rank." Gu Qingqing came to Nan Hua’s front, sincerely happy for him.

"Thank you, Geng Geng." Nan Hua stood up, the smile on his face deepening.

"I didn’t expect you to be the third one to ascend, well done!" Rong Ye patted Nan Hua’s shoulder, saying happily.

Nan Hua rarely bickered with Rong Ye, just gave him a sidelong glance, smiling and nodding.

"Alright, you should wash up first. You can’t stay in your courtyard for now, so just stay at Rong Ye’s place for a while until your courtyard is repaired and you can return." Wen Guiyun also felt happy for Nan Hua, seeing the mess left in the courtyard after Nan Hua’s tribulation, he said to Nan Hua.

"Okay, I understand, Master." Nan Hua also noticed the sorry state of his courtyard and nodded, not refusing.

After Nan Hua cleaned up, the group gathered in Wen Guiyun’s courtyard. Wen Guiyun had already prepared a banquet, and the gloom hovering over the group due to Yue Zhao’s poisoning was somewhat lifted by Nan Hua’s ascension. Gu Qingqing and the others seized the opportunity to vent their emotions. At this moment, Wen Guiyun received a message from Mu Chen stating they had found the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus and were on their way back, making Gu Qingqing and the others even happier. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"That’s great, now that the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus and Mermaid Tears are collected, we just need Dragon Blood. Once the fourth senior brother returns, we will go to the Secret Realm to exchange Dragon Blood with the senior from the Dragon Clan," Gu Qingqing clapped her hands and said excitedly.
