"Look!" someone shouted, pointing at the sky.
"Calamity Cloud!" more people exclaimed.
The entire sky was filled with dark clouds, and the surroundings turned pitch black, enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere.
Zhan Lingfeng didn't have time to think much; he knew this was coming for him.
Glancing at the people, Zhan Lingfeng took off and swiftly flew outside the village.
This time, Zhan Lingfeng transformed into a streak of light, quickly distancing himself from the village. Once he reached an uninhabited area, he sensed that the Calamity Cloud had fully gathered and was about to descend at any moment.
How did it come to this Tribulation?
Zhan Lingfeng's mind was filled with information he had seen in the Smart Brain regarding cultivation in this place.
The more he understood the situation, the more astonished he became; he realized that he was facing the First Tribulation of an immortal.
According to records, immortals face a tribulation every two hundred years. When this tribulation arrives, those who survive retain all their memories and enter the next stage of evolution, doubling their cultivation level and naturally doubling their combat power. Those who pass this tribulation are granted a noble title by the Celestial Kingdom, becoming a Baron. With each tribulation overcome, their title increases by one level, along with various benefits.
Below the king are five levels of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Above the king is the Emperor level, followed by the Great Emperor Level, and above that is the Eternal Level. Only those who reach the Eternal Level are considered to have a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth; they become eternal beings.
Initially, Zhan Lingfeng thought this was merely a recorded phenomenon and not something easily achievable for him. However, he now realized that it might not be so difficult after all—at least not for him. It felt as if he had found a direction for his development.
While others feared the Tribulation, Zhan Lingfeng was not worried at all. When the First Tribulation thunder struck down, Zhan Lingfeng directly drew the Calamity Thunder into the Starry World.
The current Starry World was truly vast—so vast that even Zhan Lingfeng was astonished.
Calamity Thunder is powerful, but when entering the vast Starry World, that power is completely harmless to Zhan Lingfeng.
This time it was Four Nine Calamity Thunder.
After a continuous barrage, Calamity Thunder naturally dissipated, and then Zhan Lingfeng noticed a layer of radiance enveloping him.
This was the glow after overcoming a tribulation.
After a moment of thought, he absorbed the glow into his body.
At that moment, several figures approached from a distance.
These individuals were actually capable of flying in the air. They hovered above and looked down at Zhan Lingfeng. The leader, an old man, said, "Congratulations on passing your First Tribulation. We represent the Empire to grant you the title of Baron. Furthermore, from now on, you automatically become a member of the Royal Society, serving as Town Secretary. Would you be willing?"
Zhan Lingfeng had always been involved in officialdom and naturally welcomed such an opportunity. After this incident, he felt that perhaps advancing through government positions would offer him greater potential for development.
Thinking this, Zhan Lingfeng smiled and replied, "I am already a civil servant. It is my honor to contribute to the Empire, so I am certainly willing."
Upon hearing this, the group was even more satisfied. The leader smiled and said, "Very well, your appointment will soon be delivered to Inside the County."
After speaking, they turned and left.
Watching their departing figures, there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in Zhan Lingfeng's eyes.
All along, Zhan Lingfeng had believed that people here could not fly. Now he realized that his understanding of the Celestial Realm was still superficial; it was not as he had imagined. There were indeed many strong individuals within.
Of course, Zhan Lingfeng is also capable of flying; he just hasn't revealed it in front of others.
In a flash, Zhan Lingfeng returned to the village.
At this moment, the people in the village had still not recovered from the Calamity Thunder, and everyone was searching for Zhan Lingfeng.
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng arrive, Ning Zhishan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xin, were you in Tribulation?"
The expressions of everyone were filled with confusion, wondering how Zhan Lingfeng could suddenly disappear even if he was in Tribulation.
"Yes, I was afraid that the Calamity Thunder would strike the village, so I went to another place to undergo Tribulation. Now that the Tribulation is successful, I have been granted the title of Baron by the Empire and appointed as the Town Secretary."
"That's great!"
"Congratulations!"
The Villagers were all happy about Zhan Lingfeng's successful completion of his Tribulation.
Ning Zhishan looked at Zhan Lingfeng and nodded, saying, "You have indeed passed the First Tribulation. With this hurdle overcome, it will be beneficial for your development. Your growth potential has increased by a level. Even if any problems arise in the future, at most you will only drop one level. Many people spend their entire lives without being able to pass this First Tribulation."
The Villagers were unaware of the specifics; they were simply happy for Zhan Lingfeng's success in his Tribulation.
"Everyone, let's go to the new house now."
As soon as Zhan Lingfeng said this, everyone became even more excited.
At that moment, the person responsible for organizing Inside the County quickly arrived at the office of the county Secretary and handed over an Appointment Letter, saying, "Leader, the higher authorities have issued an appointment. Our county has produced another Tribulation success story, who is now serving as a Baron and the Town Secretary."
"Baron!"
The county leader looked at the person reporting and quickly reviewed the appointment.
"This is someone who grew up in a mountain village?"
"That's right. We have investigated thoroughly. His background is quite simple; he is just someone who came out of the mountains and then went to the village. He is currently a civil servant in the Countryside, and unexpectedly, he has become a Tribulation success."
"From this perspective, he is not as simple as he appears."
"Regardless of the circumstances, the Royal Society has already accepted him into their ranks. Now he is a member of the Royal Society, and there are not many people in our county who can be granted titles. Those who hold titles are all trusted individuals of the Royal Society."
"The Secretary of that township does not hold a title, right?"
"That's correct. Many people within the Royal Society do not have titles; they only became Secretaries due to some connections."
"There’s no helping it. Execute this; transfer the original Secretary to another position, and place this person named Zhan Lingfeng in that township. Make sure to learn more about his situation."
After discussing for a while, they issued the Appointment Letter.
Zhan Lingfeng himself did not expect that just by successfully completing one Tribulation, his status would be significantly elevated. He was now looking at the Smart Brain, and after reviewing it, he realized that the empire had strict regulations: a Baron must at least serve as a Town Secretary. As long as one holds a higher title, they can assume even higher positions.
