Rumble! Immediately afterward, a blinding bolt of lightning struck, directly hitting the inside of the mountain range through the gap. The sudden turn of events prompted everyone to halt in their tracks.
“I-Is this lightning tribulation?” Misho asked confusedly at the sight of the lightning striking the mountain.
“Indeed. That is undoubtedly lightning tribulation!” Hamish nodded in astonishment. It was clear to everyone how the lightning tribulation came about.
Jared was the only person cultivating within the mountain range. The pounding of lightning tribulation on the mountain could only mean Jared had broken through.
Boom!
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, another bolt of lightning struck, and only after a round of bombardment did the lightning tribulation cloud gradually disperse.
Following the dissipation of the lightning tribulation cloud, Jared emerged from the cave. As a result of enduring the lightning tribulation, his clothes were tattered and in pieces, barely covering his body.
However, Jared was unconcerned because his cultivation had advanced by another minor level. It won’t be long before I break through Body Fusion Realm and become a Tribulator!
Despite his pathetic and disheveled appearance, his eyes shone, and his aura grew more formidable.
“Ah!” the two girls, Kiara and Izolda, suddenly exclaimed and quickly spun around. Their scream pulled Jared back to his senses, and he hastily covered his private parts with his hand.
Feenix swiftly took out a new set of clothes and stepped forward to help Jared put them on. Jared felt quite embarrassed, showing up in that indecent state in front of everyone, not to mention in the presence of a few girls.
“Jared, have you broken through?” Misho inquired after the younger man was done changing.
The latter nodded. “Yes. I’ve advanced from the Eighth Level of Body Fusion Realm to the Ninth Level. I reckon it won’t be long before I become a Tribulator too.”
Jared was ecstatic. After all, even advancing a minor cultivation level was exceptionally arduous for him.
“You triggered such a massive lightning tribulation by breaking through a minor cultivation level? This is absurd!” Hamish remarked in awe.
Jared didn’t know how to explain the phenomenon either. Whenever he experienced an advancement in cultivation level, it would be accompanied by a great commotion.
“All right. We should get going and leave Mount Crimson as soon as possible. We can’t fly here, and this place is infested with demon beasts, so it’s too dangerous.” Sensing Jared was at a loss for a response, Misho quickly helped him out of the tight spot.
“Okay. Let’s depart. If we move fast, we should be able to exit Mount Crimson in a day and a night,” Hamish said.
Not long after they set off, the group encountered a group of silver tigers blocking their way, with Tiger King leading the beasts.
Everyone tensed up, unsure of the silver tigers’ intentions.
Jared also knitted his brows. “What do you want?”
“Don’t misunderstand. We mean no harm. I led my subordinates here to send you off. Ride on our backs. This way, we can get you out of Mount Crimson faster,” Tiger King explained.
Hearing that, Jared was taken aback. He didn’t anticipate Tiger King would offer to send them out of Mount Crimson.
“Why would you do this?” Jared was baffled, given his lack of deep connection with Tiger King.
Tiger King approached him and whispered, “I just hope you can also enlighten me someday. Although I’m still not sufficiently strong, I’m confident I can also attain Ascendance in the future.”
It turned out Tiger King had learned of the incident where Jared led the water dragon into the cave and showed the water dragon guidance.
