The elder looked at Ye Tian Xie with a skeptical gaze, but he found that Ye Tian Xie was completely ignoring him and was completely focused on Lin Fan.
So there was a bitter look that appeared on the elder’s face.
The elder had wanted to give a suggestion to Ye Tian Xie to take Lin Fan back with him since the elder could tell that there was something strange about Lin Fan. If they took him back and studied him at the Heavenly Demon Sect, then they might be able to find some kind of treasure.
In the end, they were still from a demonic sect, so there were people like this.
But if Ye Tian Xie didn’t want to do anything, then the elder wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Ye Tian Xie was in charge here, so he had to listen to Ye Tian Xie.
Though after Ye Tian Xie left…
The elder started thinking about how he would take care of Lin Fan once Ye Tian Xie was gone.
There was no rush for the elder after all.
He was stationed in this city where Lin Fan was the city lord, so there would be plenty of time for him to make his move. It wasn’t as if there was anyone in this city that could even match him.
So once Ye Tian Xie was gone, he would be able to do what he wanted with Lin Fan.
He might even be able to discover something big that he could report back to the sect to raise his position. It wasn’t as if the elder was planning on being stuck here guarding the Mu Empire forever.
His ambitions were much higher than this.
After the burst of spiritual energy came from Lin Fan, the aura around him started to change.
It was clear that he was breaking through with this large amount of spiritual energy, but there was no resistance at all as he suddenly broke through into the Peak Qi Condensing Realm. It was like he had just slipped right into the Peak Qi Condensing Realm without a single thing blocking his way.
However, that wasn’t the end of Lin Fan’s breakthrough.
In the first place, the only reason that his cultivation had dipped down was because of the connection to the Pet Storage Space condensing his spiritual energy. So in the first, he had already broken through, so it was only natural that there was nothing blocking him when he reached his original cultivation.
After that…there was some resistance.
As Lin Fan’s aura continued to swell, there were other things that started to appear around him.
There was the sound of lightning rumbling coming from up above.
It seemed that lightning was beginning to gather, as if it was about to fall down.
Everyone immediately knitted their brows when they saw this.
After all, not a single person had thought that he would suddenly break through to the next major realm like this. They thought that just a single minor realm breakthrough would be all that Lin Fan would experience.
However, the fact that the clouds were gathering in the sky above them was not something that could be faked.
This was the lightning tribulation that came when one broke through to the Golden Core Realm.
Mu Bao Bao slightly knitted her brows before turning to Yue Lan to say, “Evacuate everyone in the inn, we need this place cleared within five minutes.”
Yue Lan also had her brows knitted slightly when she heard this.
She and Ming Xin exchanged a glance, but they eventually went out to take care of this matter.
They knew that this was an important period for Lin Fan, so they didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Even if it meant suffering a few losses in terms of their business, they didn’t dare take the risk of letting anything happen to him.
Lin Fan was more important than anything to them.
So off they ran to clear out the inn and to get people to set up a blockade around the inn.
However, the one that did the most was Ye Tian Xie.
He had been silent the entire time until he suddenly raised his hand.
The moment that he did, there were wraiths that suddenly appeared around his raised hand. These wraiths started spreading out from Ye Tian Xie and they soon completely surrounded the area that Lin Fan was in.
It was almost as if they were forming a defensive perimeter around him.
It was as if they wouldn’t allow anyone to approach him.
That included the elder who had a bitter look on his face at being excluded like this, but there was nothing that the elder could do since the one that was doing this was Ye Tian Xie.
As long as it was Ye Tian Xie, he could only endure and bide his time.
The clouds that gathered in the sky were getting thicker and thicker and it seemed like the lightning would be falling at any moment. With the way that the lightning rumbled, it was clear that whatever was gathering wasn’t normal.
Those that had broken through to the Golden Core Realm before recognized the lightning that was gathering, but they all knew that the lightning that they had encountered before wasn’t as strong as this.
“Just who is breaking through?”
That was the thought on everyone’s mind as they watched the lightning gather.
Those that had been in the inn also evacuated even before Yue Lan and Ming Xin came to evacuate them. They weren’t fools, they could tell that the lightning that was gathering outside was above the inn and they could tell how strong it was.
They wouldn’t be dumb enough to stay in the inn to be hit by this lightning.
The lightning continued to gather until…
“Roar!”
It sounded like the roar of some kind of mighty beast rather than the boom of thunder.
At the same time, it seemed that the lightning that was in the sky was changing colour.
The lightning that had been blue suddenly became white, which made it look even more terrifying as it crossed through the sky. It seemed like it was even more intense than the normal lightning tribulation.
All of a sudden, Lin Fan’s eyes opened and he looked up above him.
Taking a deep breath, he broke through the roof that was there and then jumped high up into the sky to face the lightning clouds that were gathered above him.
As if they had found their target, the lightning that was there suddenly condensed and then a single bolt fell down from the sky.
This was the first bolt of the tri lightning tribulation that those that broke through into the Golden Core Realm faced.
However, Lin Fan didn’t seem afraid at all as he faced this lightning bolt falling down at him. He even had a smile on his face as he looked at it, as if he was filled with confidence.
Charging up, Lin Fan slammed right into the bolt of lightning falling down at him.
The lightning spread through his body, but it didn’t seem to affect him at all.
It even seemed like…it was just simply wrapping around him rather than hurting him.
Just how strong was his physique that he was able to wear the lightning like this?
It was simply terrifying for all those that witnessed this.
Especially those that had faced the tri lightning tribulation of the Golden Core Realm before. They could say for certain that they had never faced the lightning tribulation like Lin Fan did.
After a while the lightning that was around him suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It was as if it had scattered into nothingness with the way that it disappeared.
It was as if it had been nothing more than a bit of static electricity with the way that Lin Fan handled it.
But that didn’t mean that it was over yet.
This was only the first bolt of lightning in the tribulation, there were still two more bolts of lightning that were waiting to fall.
At the same time, these two bolts of lightning would only be stronger than the last.
This was how it worked for lightning bolts of the lightning tribulation.
It didn’t seem like it would end that easily…
Or at least that was what everyone thought, but they were wrong.
When the lightning bolts fell down, they just zapped Lin Fan without hurting him at all.
The same thing as the first bolt of lightning happened where it wrapped around him like a coat of lightning before fizzing out without a trace. It didn’t seem to have any effect at all on Lin Fan even though it was hitting him head on.
The last bolt of lightning had even taken the form of a dragon as if fell down, but it didn’t do a thing to him.
Once the two bolts of lightning fell, the aura around Lin Fan started to change.
It kept increasing and increasing until finally he broke through.
Just like that Lin Fan was able to reach the Golden Core Realm without a problem.
Once he broke through, Lin Fan floated down back into the inn, landing in the same room that he burst out of.
Seeing him land, Ye Tian Xie gave a wave of his hand and the wraiths that had been released disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look.
He had cultivated far less time than her, but…he had caught up to her.
Mu Bao Bao didn’t know how to feel about this at first…but she eventually revealed a smile.
It wasn’t a bad thing that he caught up.
She liked the feeling of being protected as well.
