As soon as Zhou Mi finished speaking, an elixir appeared in his hand, one that emitted a red glow.

"This is a Breakthrough Pill meant for breaking through the Dawen Realm. My spiritual energy has reached the necessary level, and with this pill, I should be able to break through to the Dawen Realm."

The crowd erupted in excitement, as they didn't expect to witness someone breaking through the Dawen Realm tonight.

At the same time, Ling Zhenfei understood something. The reason Zhou Mi would worry about attracting a Heavenly Tribulation during his breakthrough is because this breakthrough pill defies the natural order, something that should not exist in the world.

This method does not conform to the natural ascent rules, as it forcibly boosts one's strength using Spiritual Medicine, which is bound to draw a Heavenly Tribulation.

Furthermore, Ling Zhenfei was very certain that when Zhou Mi broke through to the Zhiyi Boundary, he also used a Breakthrough Pill, which is why he attracted a double Heavenly Tribulation.

If he himself were to break through to the Zhiyi Boundary, then even using the Breakthrough Pill to reach the Dawen Realm now would probably only result in a single-layer Heavenly Tribulation.

Zhou Mi said, "The fellow Daoists here tonight are truly excellent, and with many of you having high cultivation, if some of you could assist me, I would surely be able to break through to the Dawen Realm unscathed."

The fellow Daoist Wang spoke, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has always treated us kindly, often sharing valuable cultivation insights. It's time for us to help him."

A few Daoists nodded, "If any of us can reach the Dawen Realm, it would be an inspiration for us cultivators in Yunchuan."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started."

"Indeed, I've never seen a Heavenly Tribulation before, so I'm curious about what it looks like."

"But I have some concerns about the Heavenly Tribulation. This is in an urban area, and undergoing a tribulation here might cause quite the ruckus."

"Yes, it's very likely to attract the attention of the relevant authorities."

"Indeed, should we relocate? This place doesn't seem safe, and I'm worried the house might get damaged."

Zhou Mi waved his hand, "No need to worry, my house is built differently from others, so it won't be affected. Besides, we will only face two tribulations at most, which shouldn't take long."

With Zhou Mi's words, everyone calmed down.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's begin."

Zhou Mi said, "I'll start taking the medicine now, Fellow Daoist Wang, make some arrangements."

After speaking, Zhou Mi sat in the middle of the small square and swallowed the cultivation pill.

As soon as he ingested it, the surrounding people noticed the overwhelming spiritual energy emanating from him, a sign of the potent energy contained within the Breakthrough Pill.

At this moment, Fellow Daoist Wang began organizing, instructing those below the Zhiyi Boundary to move further away, while seven or eight people of the Zhiyi Boundary gathered around Zhou Mi.

Due to Ling Zhenfei's apparent lower early Zhiyi Boundary strength, he wasn't included, which allowed him to stay outside and experience the Heavenly Tribulation's power.

Although Ling Zhenfei had never experienced a Heavenly Tribulation, he had felt the wrathful power of a divine punishment at Lu Huanong's place.

At that time, the wrath was silent and without warning; it was only Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense that could detect it.

But the Heavenly Tribulation is different, its destructive power is definitely earth-shattering.

Zhou Mi's concern arises because, theoretically, he shouldn't face a Heavenly Tribulation at his level, but using the Breakthrough Pill for the Dawen Realm defies the natural order, thus attracting one.

Ling Zhenfei constantly watched the surrounding activity; though merely an observer, this was an invaluable experience for him, as he would one day face a Heavenly Tribulation himself.

With this firsthand experience, he wouldn't be caught off guard when his own tribulation arrives.

Zhou Mi's spiritual energy was frantically cycling within him, creating a fierce aura. The surrounding air moved of its own accord, forming a small airfield, rustling the leaves dramatically.

Not only Ling Zhenfei but the other cultivators were also nervously watching, uncertain about what might happen next.

As Zhou Mi's spiritual fluctuations intensified, the surrounding energy began converging towards him, mirroring Ling Zhenfei's own breakthrough to the Dawen Realm. Ling Zhenfei knew Zhou Mi was about to break through.

The power of the Dawen Realm Breakthrough Pill was remarkable, bringing Zhou Mi to the brink of breakthrough so swiftly.

"Ho!"

Zhou Mi suddenly shouted, and the surrounding energy exploded outward before surging back into his body. A beam of Golden Light shot straight into the sky; Zhou Mi had broken through.

Ling Zhenfei vividly remembered that at his own previous breakthrough, a similar Golden Light drew in cultivators from the surroundings. Without a doubt, Zhou Mi's breakthrough would attract considerable attention as well.

This particular breakthrough site was unique, situated in a villa area with fewer inhabitants, yet the Golden Light was still recorded by someone nearby.

However, for ordinary people, they couldn't comprehend why the Golden Light appeared. Of course, the government was aware, and so-called experts would fabricate explanations, calling it a natural phenomenon.

And it was merely a single light; experts found it easy to dismiss it as simply being a light, but there were more complicated matters to follow.

After the Golden Light, the sky's clouds began to swirl violently, converging towards the light's source. Thunderous roars echoed above, as if a massive tractor engine was churning within the clouds.

Ling Zhenfei could sense the terrifying energy contained within the clouds, realizing the power of this Heavenly Tribulation was truly irresistible.

He also felt a pang of worry for those below, questioning if they could genuinely withstand the tribulation, a significant doubt in Ling Zhenfei's mind.

Suddenly, the sky brightened, and they saw a bolt of lightning strike down towards the ground.

The lightning's force was immense, with energy describable only as terrifying.

The deafening sound overwhelmed their ears, and the blinding light illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

The cultivators surrounding Zhou Mi wore solemn expressions, raising their hands, which had long been concentrated with spiritual energy, focusing into a powerful energy field.

This concentrated energy shot skyward, colliding with the Heavenly Thunder.

Boom!

The immense sound shook the earth, simultaneously rattling the cultivators battling it below.

Counting Zhou Mi's energy, they possessed considerable strength, yet they were still shaken by the Heavenly Thunder, rattling their organs.

Despite this, they had indeed blocked the first Heavenly Thunder. But before they could celebrate, the swirling clouds above began brewing a second strike.

"I can't hold on," someone said.

"Indeed, it's too powerful. We won't withstand a second Heavenly Thunder."

Daoist Master Wang, seeing their shaken resolve, hurriedly encouraged them, "Don't lose heart, if we can withstand the first, we can endure the second as well."
