Xu Fan immediately carried Xu Yuexian back to the Hidden Spirit Ind, and he alone came to the spot where he had first crossed the Thunder Tribtion.


    "Pu Tao, what is the shortest recorded interval between Tribtions in your database?" Xu Fan asked, gazing at the umting thunderclouds in the sky.


    He had only known before that the time between Tribtions was very short.


    Usually around a century.


    "The shortest recorded instance belongs to the Supreme Sovereign of the Elders Association, he effortlessly crossed three Tribtions in a row, skyrocketing from the Integration Stage to the Mahayana Stature, and since then has remained unrivalled in the Human Cultivation World." Pu Tao answered.


    Xu Fan looked at the forming thunderclouds in the sky, the second Tribtion''s thunderclouds were not like the Physical Tribtion.


    The clouds in the sky were now ink-blue, as if they were forged from immensepressed spiritual Qi.


    Feeling the massive amount of spiritual Qi in the sky, Xu Fan couldn''t help but chuckle.


    "After the first Tribtion, I wondered why I couldn''t detect the timing of the next Tribtion."


    "Turns out you started forming right after the first Tribtion ended, and have only now managed to gather the required spiritual Qi."


    Xu Fan chuckled.


    "If there was not enough spiritual Qi, you could''ve just told me. It''s not like there''s any shortage here."


    As if having heard Xu Fan''s arrogant words, the thunderclouds in the sky immediately sent down a lightning strikeposed of the purest spiritual Qi.


    The second Tribtion''s requirement is to withstand it with one''s body to attain the goal of internal spiritual power purification.


    "Boom!!!"


    A thick lightning strike came from above, striking Xu Fan''s entire body.


    Xu Fan shivered all over, feeling as if he''d just consumed a potent medicinal tonic, and the spiritual power in his body clearly felt exceedingly bloated.


    At this moment, Xu Fan realized he''d overlooked a crucial aspect. During his Tribtion Phase, he had already purified and condensed his spiritual power to the extreme. Thus, even after advancing to the Tribtion Stage and passing through the Thunder Tribtion, the improvements wouldn''t be too significant.


    Therefore, if he couldn''t improve in quality, he''d have to work on quantity.


    As Xu Fan ruminated, another lightning strike thundered down.


    It was like forcibly pouring water into a bottle already filled to its brim.


    Xu Fan felt a sense of mounting pressure. His face was uneasy, he wanted to release it.


    But he found that the spiritual power in his body had been sealed. If he wanted to release it, he''d have to wait until the Thunder Tribtion was over.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Xu Fan, typically calm and easygoing, felt like cursing aloud at this moment.


    It was like desperately needing to urinate, but still being forced to keep drinking water.


    "You guys could let the Thunder Tribtion manifest for me to fight. This method is immensely ufortable," Xu Fanined, looking at the sky.


    Just as Xu Fan was suffering, the third lightning strike swooped down.


    It could have been a shift in quality triggered by quantity, or it could have been Xu Fan''s illusion.


    Regardless, Xu Fan felt that the spiritual Qi inside his body had beenpressed slightly and the quality of spiritual Qi had also improved ever so slightly.


    It was akin to the sensation of holding in a burst dder, yet not feeling rushed.


    Just as Xu Fan was feeling relieved, the fourth lightning strike crashed down.


    This time, Xu Fan felt a sense of release, as if his dder capacity had increased, making the previous urgency insignificant.


    The fifth lightning strike struck.


    With his dder full again, Xu Fan started to feel ufortable.


    The sixth strike came, and in spite of his spiritual Qi''s quality improving, Xu Fan still felt ufortable.


    The seventh strike, dder capacity increased.


    The eighth strike, dder filled to the brim.


    The ninth strike, the quality of spiritual Qi surged.


    From that moment, the Thunder Tribtion ended.


    Xu Fan looked at the sky, feeling a great sense of difort in his heart.


    He felt like he had been rendered naked and frivolously yed with.


    "I feel like, apart from crossing a Thunder Tribtion, there hasn''t been much improvement elsewhere." Xu Fan said with a gloomy face as he looked at the sky.


    As for the Spiritual Power contained in the root cause, Xu Fan didn''t take it very seriously.


    That''s because every time after his realm was promoted, simply refining andpressing it a bit would already reach the limit.


    So for him now, it''s just that his Nascent Soul True Spirit can amodate a bit more Spiritual Qi.


    Xu Fan raised his hands and a Spiritual Energy Cluster about dozens of meters in diameter,pressed to the extreme, slowly rose towards the sky.


    Eventually, the Energy Cluster began to transform and condense into a cloud, absorbing the moisture in the sky and slowly transforming into a dark cloud.


    Before long, a hundred miles around was covered by dark clouds.


    When the moisture gathered to the extreme, the sky started to rain divine rain, beginning to nourish thisnd.


    "Finally, I feel relieved."


    As if I''ve been holding it for a few hours, finally releasing half of it.


    "Since the Spiritual Qi Tribtion has ended, the Soul Tribtion should being soon, right?" Xu Fan said.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt his soul being pulled into a strange space.


    Within this odd space, Xu Fan encountered another version of himself, the evil that was sealed deep within his soul.


    "The worst scenario has urred." Xu Fan sighed.


    He had encountered the Thunder Tribtion, which was the worst nightmare for all Tribtion Crossing Cultivators, the Soul True Self Tribtion.


    To cross this tribtion is simple, just defeat the alter ego across oneself, a version of oneself who knows oneself perfectly well and is even purer possibly extremely dark and cruel, yet also possibly extremely good.


    At this moment, the Soul True Self of Xu Fan that he was facing was also Xu Fan, dressed in white, gentle and elegant, just like a gentleman made of fine jade in this world, his eyes filled withpassion for all beings.


    But the way he looked at Xu Fan was filled with disgust.


    As if Xu Fan was the embodiment of darkness.


    The two Xu Fans stared at each other for a long while, finally they all sighed.


    "You could have been the savior of the Cultivation World, but you choose the most rxed and carefree way of living."


    "There''s a reason why the Heaven have made you reincarnate into this world, yet you have failed it." The dark alter ego of Xu Fan said, as if criticizing an insignificant person who refused to contribute to the world.


    Xu Fan sighed again.


    "Most people seal away their darkest, most brutal, and most greedy side."


    "But for people like me, who are only pure and good, we seal away our most saintly side, making me seem viinous."


    "The saintly me, people in the world, they all have their a fixed destiny, your unwarranted interference can save how many people?" Xu Fan looked at the Saint Xu Fan and said.


    "Not to mention other things, solely on the Demon n invasion, you could have saved the entire Linsen Immortal City at least, creating a Giant City, gathering Mortal Citizens, protecting them from the Demon n."


    "But it just so happens, due to your inactivity, tens of billions of mortals were massacred by the Demon n, and the reason you didn''t save them was simply because of a slight concern in your heart."


    "Possessing unparalleled talent in the world, yet not being benevolent towards the beings of the Human n, you are unworthy to possess such a talent." Saint Xu Fan, dressed in white, looked down upon ck Xu Fan from a moral high ground.


    Xu Fan looked at his saintly alter ego, feeling somewhat helpless.


    "I only do what I can do, when I have the ability, I will save this Cultivation World."


    "Also I have to say, as the ending is all the same, a big fight, let''s just skip the unnecessary talk."


    Xu Fan said so and transformed into a Thousand-Hand Illusion.


    In no time, all kinds of Divine Abilities wereunched towards the Saint Xu Fan.


    After entering the Tribtion Passage stage, Xu Fan had anticipated the Soul Tribtion, and all the possible scenarios he mighte across.


    Among all the situations, the one Xu Fan least wanted to face was the Saint True Self sealed deep within his soul.


    He felt that this thing was thousands and hundreds of times stronger than the evil in his heart, and it''s particrly frustrating to face it, as if he was the viin.
