Chapter 1357 Mountain Sect Top Chef Contest Second Stage of the God Trial Realm!
After painstaking cultivation, Krune finally achieved a minor breakthrough, sighing in exhaustion as it felt more boring than before. After all, spending more than 70 years to break through a minor realm was indeed an exhausting endeavor.
However, there was no other option. He had to slowly grind to the top. But in contrast, a certain few were having the time of their lives.
Boom!
"Wheee!"
A wisp slammed itself into the incoming bolt of tribulation lightning before being sent flying. The second bolt slammed into it, hitting it further away like a ball. But, despite getting injured by the attack, the wisp wasn't nervous.
Rather, it treated the tribulation lightning like luxury bathing material, flashing all corners of its body to face the lightning.
Seeing such a scene, Krune could only facepalm. Of course, the wisps had already cultivated enough to spark breakthroughs to the Semi-God Realm.
After all, they were practicing his Deific Wisp Technique from the start. So, whether it was their cultivation, Body Cultivation, or Soul Cultivation, all were being raised from the start.
Plus, since they only mingled with their respective community, there wasn't any problem with the impurities in their Wisp Core. It was because they hadn't given birth to any children yet.
Based on what Krune had probed through, they would only begin to face problems after reaching the Elementary God Realm.
When they reached that point, they could find out a solution on their own. They would pretty much be old monsters that had loved for thousands of years by then.
"Turtle uncle, look at my shining form!" The wisp undergoing tribulation noticed Krune nearby, rushing towards him.
"Idiot! Don't come near me while you're undergoing a tribulation!" Krune shouted in alarm before vanishing from the spot. He had almost triggered the tribulation lightning once again.
The thunderclouds had almost increased in size just to target him once again.
This was something he noticed after obtaining the means to properly wield tribulation lightning. The tribulation lightning that was unleashed during tribulations seemed to hate him to the bone.
So, wherever it happened, at least a few of those bolts tracked him down before slamming into his face, turning it ashen.
With that, whenever someone was undergoing a tribulation, he had to escape from the spot. Otherwise, he would be the one to face the tribulations instead.
He didn't know why the tribulation lightning was behaving as such, nor was he able to ask Luvile about it, unwilling to disturb him for such a minor matter. At most, his face was painted black a couple of times a day.
That was the frequency of breakthroughs happening in the Mountain Sect.
Usually, cultivators attained a limit after cultivating for a while. Most of them hit it at the Nascent God Realm.
So, the number of cultivators attempting to become immortals was too few in number. On top of that, the percentage of success was abysmal.
Well, it was an entirely different scenario in the Mountain Sect.
Now that everyone was cultivating both Soul Cultivation and Body Cultivation, even though the tribulation they were facing was many times stronger than what a normal cultivator faced, they also had more means to defend themselves.
So, their success rate was darn high, reaching as high as sixty percent.
Considering how the success rate of breaking through for others was less than one percent, this was a grand feat.
Moreover, Krune prepared the potential immortals by making them comprehend more laws, even going so far as to drill them in the Godly Inhibition Tower so that the quality of their Godly Energy had already reached the Semi-God Realm.
This was the reason behind their unceasing success, causing the number of immortals in the Mountain Sect to skyrocket.
It was to such an extent that the immortals from the three continents were stupefied beyond belief, recalling the times when they had attempted the breakthrough and what the current generation was doing.
After all, the strength of the tribulation lighting that the old God Trial Realm cultivators from the three continents had faced was now being invoked by those trying to break through to the Semi-God Realm.
Basically, even the most average cultivator in the Mountain Sect was now capable of skipping a realm in strength.
There were countless reasons to list this.
First of all were the cultivation techniques. They almost had a million cultivation techniques now, all top-class cultivation techniques to boot.
Usually, one such technique was enough to establish a powerful sect.
Of course, this was all thanks to the Immortal Staircase in the Sub-Realm that had vanished now. Those that arrived at the Mountain Sect from there had all climbed the Immortal Staircase, each obtaining a cultivation technique perfectly suited to them.
Once they arrived at the Mountain Sect, they submitted details regarding their cultivation technique to the library to gain contribution points.
Thanks to this, their arsenal of cultivation techniques continued to pile up. Eventually, it created such a rigorous foundation.
Now, no matter what kind of cultivator, they would find at least a few cultivation techniques most suitable for them. Due to that, their speed of cultivation was naturally quick.
Second was the myriad passive abilities they could choose from. After the Mountain Sect had perfect Body Cultivation, everyone was able to obtain five passive abilities and one active ability.
The combination of abilities they could obtain was infinite. Every day was a surprise as the cultivators figured out new combinations of passive abilities that unleashed a rather powerful effect.
Quite a few among them had reached Krune's Ocean Radiance in quality.
Indeed, talents were booming in the Mountain Sect. Upon seeing how casual the founding elders like Krune were, none actually put on airs.
They actually imitated Krune, trying to create various things all the time, leading to countless inventions that were sometimes useful but oftentimes useless.
They turned into workaholics with high IQ and low EQ, all because they had been imitating Krune for years.
After all, among all the founding elders, Krune was the most active and most seen in the sect. His clones were everywhere.
So, it naturally led to them imitating him. And that led to a rather strange sect-wide competition.
