After half a month, no one came to see me again, just sent food for me every day, saying it was to help me cultivate and build the foundation.

Until Senior Sister Six came to find me.

She frowned at me.

"Junior Brother, you have extraordinary talent, why haven't you built the foundation after more than half a month? Even the worst talent at Shushan only took seven days to successfully build the foundation."

The foundational pill had long been thrown away by me, so of course I didn't succeed.

I could only squeeze out an awkward smile.

"Maybe I haven't figured out the right way yet, maybe it will be fine after a while."

In my heart, I was secretly hoping that they would give up on me and send me down the mountain.

This place was like another world, and I felt uncomfortable every day I stayed here.

Sixth Senior Sister smiled and said, "It's okay, Master probably guessed, so he specially asked me to call you to observe an old senior ascending to the immortal realm, saying that it might be beneficial for your cultivation."

I couldn't refuse, so I could only grit my teeth and go.

On the square in front of the main hall, there was a mist of immortality, and countless disciples knelt devoutly on the ground.

Sixth Senior Sister led me to kneel beside Master, and they all looked at the old man in the center of the square with reverent eyes.

"Dao Yi, this is an elder of our Shushan, who has been practicing for over two hundred years. Today, he is going to ascend in the clouds. Dao Yi, you should deeply contemplate, this opportunity is rare."

I nodded blankly and also looked at the old man.

I always felt a disgusting feeling emanating from him, and I seemed to faintly smell the foul smell on him, straight to my heart.

"Fellow Daoists, disciples, after two hundred years of practice, this poor Daoist has defeated demons, saved the common people, and today, with complete merits, will ascend and pass the tribulation; you should contemplate well to seek longevity!"

The old man suddenly spoke, his voice like a bell, echoing through the sky.

As he finished speaking, the bells on the mountaintop rang, and the lingering sound surrounded the entire Jian Mountain, even causing a solemn feeling to rise in my heart, as if I couldn't smell the foul smell anymore.

"Congratulations on the elder's ascension!"

All the disciples shouted in unison.

The old man laughed heartily, and suddenly, the clouds under his feet seemed to come alive, lifting him straight into the sky, exuding a mysterious aura.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the previous clear sky became dark with thunder and lightning.

"Dao Yi, pay attention, this is the tribulation!" Master suddenly reminded me.

But in my eyes, I couldn't see the tribulation scene they were talking about at all.

I saw the huge crimson eyes, like a crack in the sky, staring directly at the old man flying in the sky.

The feeling of being stared at was absolutely terrible, my body hair stood on end, and cold sweat flowed down my back uncontrollably.

The tentacles around those eyes gradually extended, aiming at the old man and began to strike.

Rumbling!

It was truly thunderous in the sky.

This... is the tribulation?

The squirming tentacles kept striking the old man, and I could almost see him being torn apart.

After eighty-one strikes, the old man was finally shattered into pieces, not even a complete bone left.

In mid-air, there was only a mass of crimson flesh and a faint soul.

Thousands of tentacles turned into a huge mouth, sucking the old man's soul in one gulp.

Then, his shattered flesh finally couldn't hold on and turned into a bloody rain, drifting down.

"The elder ascended to become an immortal, transcending life and death. This is the blessing granted to us by the elder, the heavenly blessing!"

I saw those disciples who were observing, each holding containers filled with the heavenly blood rain, and drank it all at once.

"Junior Brother, drink it, it can help you build the foundation."

Sixth Senior Sister brought over a bowl of stinky blood water, in which there seemed to be white maggots churning, and I almost wanted to throw up.
