Primordial has no record of time, and it is unclear how many years have passed.
Ye Chuanze deeply feels that his decision to settle in Buzhou Mountain was exceptionally correct. Over the years, he has remained safe and sound in the Valley of Buzhou Mountain, without encountering any danger. He has also gotten along well with his neighbors, Fuxi and Nüwa, establishing a friendly kinship.
Recently, Ye Chuanze has deliberately slowed down his cultivation pace. He has a vague feeling that he is on the verge of a breakthrough, and the day he transforms into human form is approaching. To prepare properly, Ye Chuanze has been consolidating his mindset and cultivation instead, seeking advice from Fuxi and Nüwa regarding the experience of undergoing transformation and tribulation. Unfortunately, since Fuxi and Nüwa were born with human bodies and serpent tails, they have never experienced the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, so they cannot provide specific references for Ye Chuanze.
Ye Chuanze feels quite anxious; he has waited too long for this day, and after such a long time, he can only succeed and cannot afford to fail. He cannot imagine how he would feel if he were to fail in the transformation tribulation after years of dedication—his heart cannot bear failure.
In fact, Ye Chuanze's mindset is problematic; he is too obsessed with transformation, which puts him at a disadvantage during the tribulation. Fuxi and Nüwa have subtly reminded him of this point several times, and he himself has noticed his mental issues, but… he feels powerless to change. Since arriving in the Primordial world, the only belief that has sustained him until now is his determination to transform into human form and escape from being controlled as a magical artifact. This belief has become his obsession, which he cannot shake off.
This is also why Ye Chuanze has slowed down his cultivation; with his mindset being an issue, he lacks confidence in undergoing transformation tribulation. He can only try to delay the arrival of the thunder tribulation while thinking of a solution.
"Here you go." Dressed in white like snow, Fuxi stood by the shore and tossed an artifact resembling a turtle shell to Ye Chuanze, saying, "Although I can't provide you with experience regarding the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, take this with you to resist the thunder during the tribulation."
Ye Chuanze accepted the artifact from Fuxi and stored it in the space of the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus, thanking him, "Thank you for your concern, both you and Nüwa."
"No need for thanks; after so many years of friendship, we won't stand by when you need us," Fuxi replied calmly.
Hearing this, Ye Chuanze simply smiled without being overly sentimental. He indeed shares some friendship with Fuxi and Nüwa, so Fuxi's gesture was not unexpected.
"Nüwa is very worried about you," Fuxi said as a message from her, conveying her concern for Ye Chuanze. After a pause, he added, "As for the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, we can't help you; take care of yourself."
"Mm." Ye Chuanze replied lightly.
After standing by the shore for a while, Fuxi turned to leave but not before saying, "Don't die!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuanze couldn't help but laugh. After so many years in the Primordial World, it seems he often hears this phrase. Initially said by Rahul, now echoed by Fuxi.
No matter how much Ye Chuanze tries to delay the arrival of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, he ultimately cannot prevent it from coming.
It was originally a sunny day with a clear blue sky devoid of clouds. Suddenly, large dark clouds surged forth, quickly covering the sky. The sun was swallowed by these clouds, turning what was once bright into an ominous darkness. The sky became overcast with thick clouds, oppressive and terrifying; there was not a glimmer of light anywhere in sight.
This change in the environment caught the attention of many immortals in the Primordial.
In Buzhou Mountain, both Ye Chuanze and Fuxi, along with Nüwa, were increasingly worried as they watched the terrifying changes in the heavens and earth. Their expressions grew more serious.
At Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones glanced towards Mount Buzhou. Sky-Connecting remarked with a smile, "Such a scene that makes the heavens and earth lose their color must indicate that some extraordinary spirit object is about to transform."
The Primordial Supreme Being responded with a serious and cold expression, "Going against the heavens will ultimately lead to no good outcome."
Laozi, with a calm and serene demeanor, slightly shook his head, "Heaven's way is compassionate."
Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun Daoist left the Cave and flew towards Mount Buzhou.
Previously filled with anxiety, Ye Chuanze now saw the dark clouds covering the sky and felt a sense of calmness. Early death leads to early rebirth; bring it on! It's just a thunder tribulation, I can handle it!
Suddenly, a silver lightning bolt appeared in the previously darkened sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap. The first thunder tribulation struck fiercely at the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus on Mount Buzhou.
Ye Chuanze had set up various defensive treasures around him as if they were free, including a turtle shell gifted by Fuxi. Most of them were treasures he had collected during his time with Rahul while killing and looting, as well as those left to him after Rahul's death. Although he felt these treasures were not very useful—after all, the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus itself was an exceptional innate defensive treasure—he thought that if he couldn't withstand the heavenly tribulation himself, then these treasures would be even less effective than the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus. However, having them was better than not having them at all; whether useful or not, they provided him with some peace of mind.
The first thunder tribulation descended with a destructive aura aimed directly at Ye Chuanze. The Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus lay quietly there, its heavy petals shimmering with a purple-black luster as Ye Chuanze activated its solid defense.
The descending thunder tribulation seemed to encounter some obstruction and was blocked outside. A purple-black light shield rose around the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus to fend off the thunder tribulation. Seeing this, Ye Chuanze breathed a sigh of relief but knew better than to celebrate too early; this was only the first thunder tribulation.
Before Ye Chuanze could react, the second thunder tribulation fell.
The transformation tribulation consisted of nine thunder strikes in total, each more powerful than the last. If he survived them all, he would attain human form and become an immortal; if he failed, he would be utterly destroyed.
One thunder strike after another struck at Ye Chuanze without giving him any time to rest or recover. Each strike grew more powerful and violent; the sky rumbled while the earth trembled and mountains cracked. The power of this thunder tribulation exceeded that of an ordinary transformation tribulation; it seemed that heaven was truly determined to eliminate Ye Chuanze.
What Ye Chuanze did not know was that his birth was unexpected by heaven's way; it was an accident that heaven could not erase. For an ordinary person, heaven might turn a blind eye and let him go. However, Ye Chuanze was different; he was the Primordial Spirit of the world-destroying Black Lotus among the four Lotus Seeds nurtured by Chaos Azure Lotus. Since it carried the term "annihilation," its terrifying power was evident. Heaven could not tolerate such a dangerous being's birth; thus, it exerted all efforts to eradicate Ye Chuanze.
Heaven had only one method to eliminate Ye Chuanze: during his transformation into human form, he must undergo a thunder tribulation where he would be struck by Nine Heavens Divine Thunder until his spirit and form were destroyed. Therefore, the Transformation Thunder Tribulation that Ye Chuanze faced possessed such formidable power.
The second thunder tribulation was still blocked outside by the protective shield of the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus.
The third thunder tribulation destroyed more than half of Ye Chuanze's external defensive treasures.
The fourth thunder tribulation struck with a loud bang, and all the defensive treasures set up by Ye Chuanze turned to ashes.
Immediately after, the fifth thunder tribulation descended, and cracks appeared in the defensive barrier of the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus.
With the sixth thunder tribulation, the defensive barrier of the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus was shattered.
The Seventh Thunder Tribulation struck the Twelve-Tiered Lotus, causing Ye Chuanze, in his Primordial Spirit state, to experience intense pain.
By the eighth thunder tribulation, Ye Chuanze's face turned pale, and his body swayed.
During the ninth thunder tribulation, Ye Chuanze gritted his teeth and endured the blow, but then darkness enveloped him as he completely lost consciousness.
After enduring the thunder tribulations, the dark clouds that had covered the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a golden sun and a clear blue sky. The earth regained its brightness.
"Brother, do you think Ye Chuanze succeeded?" Nüwa asked with a worried expression as she looked at the sky where the clouds had cleared.
Fuxi glanced in the direction of Ye Chuanze's Valley and said after a long pause, "It seems... he has failed."
******************
Hongjun, who had been quietly observing Ye Chuanze's tribulation from a cliff on Buzhou Mountain, moved. He walked towards the Valley where Ye Chuanze had faced his tribulation. Along the way, he saw scorched earth and deep ravines, with no signs of life. The once beautiful Valley, filled with lush grass, blooming flowers, and clusters of trees, was now in ruins. Hongjun walked slowly to the lake where Ye Chuanze was located.
What was once a shimmering beautiful lake had turned into scorched earth, showing no trace of its former self. A massive Twelfth-Grade Black Lotus lay quietly on this barren land, its layers of dark petals occasionally reflecting glimmers of light.
Hongjun focused on the Black Lotus for a long time before raising his arm slightly. With one wave, the scorched earth transformed back into fertile and moist yellow soil. With another wave, the withered trees and flowers regained their vitality. With a third wave, the dried-up lake was filled with flowing fresh water once more. The Valley that had been devastated by the thunder tribulations was revitalized again.
Hongjun bent down slightly and reached out to touch the Black Lotus. He placed his hand on the Lotus Platform, and a gentle and pure stream of energy flowed from his hand into the Lotus Platform, nourishing Ye Chuanze's Primordial Spirit that had been damaged during the tribulations.
After channeling energy for a while, Hongjun withdrew his hand. His energy merely nourished Ye Chuanze's damaged Primordial Spirit to prevent him from becoming too weak and dissipating. To truly recover, it still depended on himself. The path of cultivation and enlightenment has never had shortcuts; outsiders cannot help; everything relies solely on oneself.
This thunder tribulation was exceptionally brutal. Although Ye Chuanze narrowly escaped with his life, his Primordial Spirit was severely damaged and remained in a coma. If not for Hongjun timely channeling energy to protect his Primordial Spirit, he would have truly faced dissolution this time.
Since that day when Hongjun provided some energy to Ye Chuanze, he stayed in the Valley and regularly channeled energy to him to prevent him from passing away. Standing by the shore and looking at the clear green lake, Hongjun's expression softened. The Twelfth-Grade Black Lotus lay quietly in the water, beautiful and enchanting. Hongjun recalled when he first saw this beautiful and powerful Black Lotus; that tender voice resolutely declared: "If heaven does not allow me, I shall defy heaven!"
Now, he truly acts against the heavens as he claimed. Although the final outcome was a failure, his actions are commendable. This is also why Hongjun decided to lend him a hand; he wanted to see how far this daring Black Lotus, who dared to speak to the heavens, could go. He looked forward to it.
*******************
Fuxi and Nuwa sensed the commotion within the Valley. They had considered entering to investigate but found that a powerful barrier had been placed there, preventing them from breaking through and leaving them outside the Valley.
Ye Chuanze's life or death was unknown, and a mysterious immortal whose allegiance was unclear had entered the Valley. The sealing of the Valley caused great concern for Fuxi and Nuwa.
In the end, Fuxi said, "The immortal who entered the Valley may not have any ill intentions towards Ye Chuanze."
"Brother, how do you know?" Nuwa asked.
"If that immortal wanted to harm Ye Chuanze, there would be no need to linger here for so long," Fuxi replied.
From the barrier outside the Valley, it was evident that this immortal who intruded into the Valley possessed much deeper cultivation than they did. If he truly wished to harm Ye Chuanze, facing someone who had just crossed a tribulation and was completely drained of power would have been an easy task. There would be no need for him to spend so much time here and even set up a barrier; it was clearly meant to prevent outsiders from entering.
Nuwa was also clever; she blinked and speculated, "Brother, do you think that immortal is trying to heal Ye Chuanze?" Given the terrifying tribulation he had faced, it was highly likely that Ye Chuanze had failed in his tribulation. Considering this situation, it seemed very possible that the immortal was healing him inside the Valley.
"That's not impossible," Fuxi said. "It seems we don't need to worry anymore."
