The next day.

As the sun rose, its warm rays shot from the eastern sky, shining upon Changbai Mountain.

Peach Grove Valley.

The peach trees, bathed in sunlight, began to slowly stretch their branches and leaves, lush and verdant. The Spirit Dew on the leaves trickled down, soaking into the vibrant Spiritual Land.

Triggered by the second's incentives yesterday, Nangong Luo woke up early and entered the Cyan Stone Pool, beginning today's cultivation.

Meanwhile, Jiang Che and Xiao Zi, the two lazy creatures, one big and one small, were stacked on top of each other under a peach tree, taking a lazy nap.

Brrrr~

Just then, a familiar helicopter humming sound came from the distant sky.

The noise gradually approached, flying towards them, and soon reached not far from Peach Grove Valley.

Nangong Luo and Jiang Che both awoke at the same time, opened their eyes, and stood up together.

"Big brother, humans have come again!"

Nangong Luo walked out from the Cyan Stone Pool, looking at Jiang Che.

"Third sister, you go and have a look! No matter the matter, dismiss them once they finish talking, they are truly annoying!"

Jiang Che's sweet dream was disturbed by these folks. The Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow had just been served, and before he could eat, he woke up. At this moment, he felt very frustrated and his tone was extremely poor.

"Alright, I'll go have a look!"

Nangong Luo also knew her big brother didn't want to interact with humans, so she nodded and turned to walk out of the valley.

Leaving the matter to the third sister, Jiang Che simply lay back down, though he didn't go back to sleep, waiting quietly for the third sister to return.

"Chirp!"

Just as Jiang Che lay down, Xiao Zi on his head was also awakened by his continuous actions, sleepily half-opened eyes.

Upon realizing what was happening, Xiao Zi became furious, waving her little paws and hammering Jiang Che's head repeatedly, occasionally letting out a yawn.

Unfortunately, the hitting from Xiao Zi was like a massage for Jiang Che; it didn't hurt at all and made him squint comfortably.

"Chirp! Master, you're bad!"

After hammering for a long time without any reaction, Xiao Zi said angrily, panting.

"Master is helping you develop the habit of getting up early. Who told you, little guy, to only know how to sleep every day without properly cultivating!"

Jiang Che said righteously.

"Humph!"

Xiao Zi snorted coldly, running down from Jiang Che's head directly, climbing onto the branch of the Bodhi Holy Tree, turning her head away in anger.

"The little guy is really angry this time!"

Jiang Che smiled bitterly in his heart, thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Alright, alright, Xiao Zi, don't be mad. Today, your owner allows you to eat a Spiritual Peach!"

The Spiritual Peaches of Peach Grove Valley had started ripening a few days ago, but after discussing it with Nangong Luo, Jiang Che decided not to pick them, letting them continuously accumulate Spiritual Power on the tree.

Since ruling the thousand-mile radius of Changbai Mountain, and with humans continually offering gifts, Nangong Luo and Xiao Zi couldn't finish the Spiritual Objects, so picking these Spiritual Peaches would only lead to waste.

However, these Spiritual Peaches were extremely delicious and were one of the little glutton Xiao Zi's favorite Spirit Fruits. Upon hearing they couldn't be eaten, this little one had been fussing around Jiang Che for two days.

After being refused by Jiang Che, this little one would frequently gaze at the Spiritual Peaches, drooling, itching to move.

"Chirp! Hehe, Master, Xiao Zi is not mad!"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiao Zi immediately perked up, her face full of joyful delight. She scrambled back down from the tree and affectionately nuzzled Jiang Che's face.

"Hmph, you little one, you're really practical!"

Xiao Zi's swift change was all within Jiang Che's expectations; the speed at which this little one changed her expression was that fast. Helplessly casting her a glance, he waved his hand and used his Spiritual Power to pluck a fragrant Spiritual Peach, handing it over to Xiao Zi, "Here, just one, no more than that."

"Chirp, thank you, Master. You're so good, Master."

Xiao Zi's eyes shone brightly, quickly hugging the Spiritual Peach, content with just one.

Sniffing the Spiritual Peach with her nose, inhaling the fragrance, Xiao Zi was utterly captivated, drooling.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from afar; Jiang Che knew that the third sister was back.

"Shoo, shoo, go eat on the side."

Jiang Che patted Xiao Zi's rear, sending her away.

"Chirp!"

With the Spiritual Peach in hand, Xiao Zi was very obedient. Hearing the owner's instruction, she immediately headed for the Bodhi Holy Tree, ready to climb up and enjoy the Spiritual Peach.

"Big brother!"

At this time, Nangong Luo also came over.

"Third sister, are the humans here to deliver Spiritual Objects again? Did they convey any messages?"

Seeing that the third sister brought back two sacks of Spiritual Objects, Jiang Che frowned. Spiritual Objects were not cabbage; why were they being delivered so frequently? Could it be that they wanted something from him, or there were tricky matters needing his intervention?

Nangong Luo understood what her big brother meant, shook her head, and said with a chuckle, "This time the humans have purely come to present gifts, saying it's to congratulate you, this divine beast of the Great Qin Empire, on your breakthrough."

"… Humans sure know how to seize the opportunity to climb up the pole!"

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then reacted, speechless.

Now it seemed that humans were determined to establish a good relationship with him.

As the two tigers conversed, Jiang Che's tribulation had already spread on the internet.

To let more people in the Great Qin Empire accept Jiang Che, the national divine beast, and witness Jiang Che's strength, the authorities had directly released the video of Jiang Che's tribulation.

As a result, it quickly hit the top trending!

"Changbai Mountain's Astonishing Thunder Tribulation!"

"Congratulations to the National Divine Beast for advancing further in strength!"

The two trending topics, one ranking first, the other second.

For a while, the internet was abuzz with discussions.

After all, witnessing a breakthrough that induced a Thunder Tribulation opened the eyes of the Great Qin Empire's people and showcased Jiang Che's terrifying strength, and many felt even more reverence for the divine beast.

[Is the divine beast really going to transcend?]

[Such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation! Probably only the divine beast could pass it safely, truly a being for us mere mortals to look up to.]

[Further strengthened, congratulations to the divine beast!]

[The divine beast's strength is simply unfathomable. It could make the Blue Flood Dragon King flee with just its earlier strength; after overcoming the Thunder Tribulation, how much stronger will it become…]

[...]

While many in the Great Qin Empire focused on the trending topics, in a certain forest, Fang Yuan, who had some free time, checked his communicator.

"Thunder Tribulation?"

Seeing the related trending topic, Fang Yuan's pupils contracted, a shock in his heart, and the communicator in his palm almost trembled and fell.

Isn't a Thunder Tribulation something that appears when advancing to the Emperor Realm?

Why did it appear when the boss broke through?

Could it be…

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.

Impossible! The boss has actually advanced to the Realm of the Emperor.

Instantly, Fang Yuan felt like a balloon being pierced, immediately deflating, as the confidence from his breakthrough was entirely depleted.

I have gotten stronger, but the boss has become even stronger!

For a moment, Fang Yuan felt incredibly bitter inside.

The boss, worthy of being the reincarnation of an ancient monster, progresses in cultivation at an astonishing speed.
