Chapter 61

**Boom.**

At this moment, the entire world began to tremble, and a suffocating aura suddenly arose.

"What's happening?" Huang Yu was greatly alarmed.

"It's not good, it must be Father's heavenly tribulation."

Gu Tian had been stuck at the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm for a long time. Due to being marginalized, he had come to the Seven Waters City. Now, with Huang Yu's encouragement, he unexpectedly had an epiphany, breaking through his bottleneck and immediately attracting the heavenly tribulation. This day had been long awaited.

"Heavenly tribulation?"

"Yes, my father has been stuck at the perfect Yin-Yang Realm for a long time. I didn't expect that because of you, he would break through, and so suddenly." Gu Xin looked worried. "I wonder how the situation is now."

"Don't worry, Uncle Gu will definitely break through successfully." Huang Yu comforted her.

Although Huang Yu had never seen a heavenly tribulation, he knew it was not a simple matter. Once one's cultivation reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, a heavenly tribulation would occur with each major breakthrough, and each one would be stronger than the last.

It was not easy to survive a heavenly tribulation. Countless people died in the process. Moreover, different people faced different intensities of heavenly tribulations. Some were almost destructive, with no hope of survival, while others were very weak and could be easily resisted. However, the stronger the heavenly tribulation, the greater the increase in strength after surviving it.

"Master, this is an opportunity for you."

While comforting Gu Xin, Huang Yu heard Lulu's voice in his ear.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Huang Yu was puzzled and didn't understand what Lulu meant.

"Master's Thunder Dragon Technique is currently only at the second level, but your understanding of lightning attributes has already far exceeded that. If you dare to take the risk, you can use this opportunity to break through to the fourth level of the Thunder Dragon Technique. Moreover, the Thunder Dragon Technique itself will be elevated to a Heaven Rank technique." Lulu said.

"Can the Thunder Dragon Technique really be elevated to a Heaven Rank technique by advancing two levels?" Huang Yu was incredibly surprised. Although the Thunder Dragon Technique was not particularly powerful, he felt it was extremely suitable for him. Combined with Thunder Dragon Fury and the Purple Extreme Sword, its power was astonishing.

"More importantly, the Purple Extreme Sword, after being refined by the heavenly tribulation, can transform into a true Heaven Rank weapon, not just a pseudo-Heaven Rank weapon." Lulu added another major temptation, making Huang Yu's heart race.

If he dared to take the risk and succeeded, he would truly soar to great heights. The Thunder Dragon Technique would be elevated to a Heaven Rank technique, and he would break through to the fourth level. The Purple Extreme Sword would transform into a Heaven Rank weapon. His strength would be incomparably greater than before.

"Alright, I'll take the risk. If I don't succeed, I'll die trying." Huang Yu clenched his fist and said.

"What?" Gu Xin, standing nearby, was confused. "Huang Yu, what are you talking about?"

"Ah... nothing. I mean, I have a way to help Uncle Gu survive the heavenly tribulation." Huang Yu looked at Gu Xin and said.

"Really?" Gu Xin was overjoyed when she heard Huang Yu say he could help her father survive the heavenly tribulation. She immediately grabbed Huang Yu's hand. "How confident are you?"

"Master, tell her you have a hundred percent confidence." Lulu interjected in Huang Yu's ear.

"Really a hundred percent? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Huang Yu was skeptical. If there was a hundred percent chance of success, he could become a professional tribulation helper. Those who faced tribulations were all highly cultivated and wealthy, and he could earn a lot of treasures and wealth by helping them. That would be a great opportunity.

"Really a hundred percent, but Master must be willing to pay the price." Lulu said.

"Pay what price?" Huang Yu asked, but quickly realized something. He grimaced. "Lulu, it's not spirit stones, is it?"

"Yep, Master is so perceptive, it's spirit stones."

"How many spirit stones?" Huang Yu knew it wouldn't be a small amount. He had managed to get a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, but now he only had about four hundred left. If this continued, he would be broke again.

"Well, this time, if Master succeeds, not only will the technique and weapon be elevated, but Master's cultivation will also break through a level. So, Master must pay all the spirit stones as the price." Lulu said with a smile.

"What? No way, Lulu, that's too much of a rip-off?"

"Hmph, Master, this is already a discount. With only four hundred medium-grade spirit stones, can you buy a Heaven Rank weapon? Can you buy a Heaven Rank technique?" Lulu pouted.

"Uh... that... I..."

"So, Master shouldn't be too greedy." Lulu blinked. "Besides, Master can earn a favor from a Life-Death Realm expert, which will be a huge help. Plus, you can please a beautiful lady."

"..."

"So, this is a very good deal for Master. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come again. Master should seize it." Lulu smiled at Huang Yu.

Huang Yu was speechless, but Lulu was right. This deal was a win-win for him. It was the most beneficial for him, achieving multiple goals at once. Four hundred medium-grade spirit stones were a small price to pay. He could always earn more with his Golden Ancient Pupil technique in the gemstone gambling world. As long as he didn't encounter someone stronger, he wouldn't lose, so spirit stones wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright, all the spirit stones, then all the spirit stones." Huang Yu waved his hand.

"Master is wise."

"Stop flattering me. How do we do it?" Huang Yu looked in the direction of Gu Tian. The sky was dark, and a huge black cloud was pressing down, creating an overwhelming pressure that made one lose the will to resist.

"It's simple. Enter the tribulation area, wait for the lightning tribulation to descend, and use the Purple Extreme Sword as a guide. Fully activate the Thunder Dragon Technique to draw the heavenly lightning into yourself." Lulu said.

"What?" Huang Yu's eyes widened. "Lulu, are you joking? That's a heavenly tribulation. The power of the lightning tribulation is immense. With my current cultivation, if I resist the lightning tribulation, I'll be turned to ashes, leaving no trace."

"Master, you must trust me. Is Lulu's word so unbelievable?" Lulu looked like she was about to cry, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Uh... no, I... Lulu, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried. I'm worried that if something goes wrong, I'll never see my dear Lulu again." Huang Yu quickly said.

"Master, are you serious?" Lulu immediately stopped crying, her watery eyes fixed on Huang Yu.

"Of course, I've never lied to Lulu. Besides, Lulu can feel my sincerity. Don't you believe me? Feel it?" Huang Yu said.

"I believe Master." Lulu immediately smiled.

...

Gu Xin saw Huang Yu deep in thought, not speaking for a long time. The heavenly tribulation was about to descend, so she pulled Huang Yu. "Huang Yu, Huang Yu."

"Ah... sorry, I was thinking about how to help Uncle Gu survive the lightning tribulation with a hundred percent safety." Huang Yu came to his senses and explained.

"A hundred percent confidence?" Gu Xin looked incredulous.

"Yes, a hundred percent confidence." Huang Yu nodded.

"Are you lying to me? I... I don't want you to get hurt." Gu Xin bit her lip, looking at Huang Yu.

Huang Yu smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm not a fool. I won't risk my life without a guarantee."

"Huang Yu..."

Gu Xin's eyes flickered. She thought Huang Yu was just trying to reassure her. After all, was a heavenly tribulation so easy to resist? If there was a hundred percent chance of success, so many cultivators wouldn't have died in the tribulation.

"I'll go help Uncle Gu. You wait here and don't let anyone disturb us. If someone intrudes, the heavenly tribulation will become extremely terrifying, and not only Uncle Gu and I, but the entire Divine Stone Pavilion will be destroyed." Huang Yu instructed.

"Alright, I understand. I won't let anyone disturb you." Gu Xin nodded vigorously.

"Good, I'm going in."

Huang Yu said, then turned into a shadow and ran toward the cultivation room where Gu Tian was.

Soon, Huang Yu arrived at the small courtyard where Gu Tian was.

The lightning tribulation was about to descend, and the entire courtyard was illuminated by a blinding light that made it hard to open one's eyes.

"Lulu, what do I do?"

"Master, just relax. As long as you draw the lightning tribulation down, I'll help you neutralize its power." Lulu smiled and said.

At that moment, Gu Tian suddenly appeared in front of Huang Yu. "Huang Yu, what are you doing here? Get out, do you want to die?"

Huang Yu's appearance made Gu Tian's face change drastically, and he was extremely angry. Although Huang Yu's presence wouldn't significantly affect the tribulation, for Huang Yu, it would be equivalent to facing his own tribulation, which was incredibly powerful. Gu Tian himself wasn't sure he could survive it, so Huang Yu coming was like courting death.

"Uncle Gu, don't worry. I know the heavenly tribulation is terrifying, but I have a ninety percent chance of helping you survive it, so I came." Huang Yu said, seeing that Gu Tian had noticed him.
