Chapter Sixteen: Smiling in the Face of Heavenly Tribulation

  "I have a premonition that my heavenly calamity is about to arrive," Long Ge said excitedly "in just ten days."

  "Ten days, it's so soon? Ha ha, how come you look not only calm but also happy?" Long Wu asked.

  "Because I have enough confidence." Long Ge said with a smile.

  "It's also true that with your current strength, you can't even beat me. Surviving a small heavenly tribulation shouldn't be a problem." Long Wu said with a smile.

  "Father, was it easy for you to pass the heavenly tribulation?" Long Ge had already passed the heavenly tribulation in his previous life, but he still feared that this world's heavenly tribulation would be different from before.

  "It should be considered easy, I used Dou Qi to consume most of it, and then used the remaining bit to temper my body, so now my body is only that strong." Long Ge thought for a moment, saying seriously.

  "Father, this time the heavenly tribulation scripture says it's a minor rain tribulation, which is a corrosive rain that decays all things. Is that true?" Long Ge asked, intentionally saying he saw it in the book.

  "Yes! Is it also written in these books? It was the old servant who told me at first." Long Wu was surprised that Long Ge had seen everything from the books.

  "Oh, since that's the case, I'm not afraid. Taking advantage of these few days, I'll copy down the gold attribute techniques and water attribute techniques for you and mother." Long Ge hurriedly changed the subject.

  "Alright, I'm getting a bit impatient, really want to see how much my power can increase after cultivating this technique." Long Wu said excitedly.

  The next few days were quiet days. After Long Song wrote the formula to Long Wu, Long Wu and Xiao Yue began to cultivate.

  The kung fu given by Long Song is definitely the most advanced kung fu collected from past lives. After only a few days of practice, Long Wu discovered that he had an upward trend, just like someone who studies Go alone for a long time without much effect, but once guided by a famous master, his level will soar rapidly. Therefore, Long Wu is ready to upgrade to Qi Yin 8th level.

  Xiao Yue, being eight months pregnant, couldn't engage in intense physical training for the Water Step technique, but she could still practice sitting meditation to cultivate her water attribute internal energy. Since she was practicing a top-tier technique, she quickly leveled up from the Qi Zhe level to the Qi Dan level.

  After Long Ge finished writing the Gong Fa for his parents, he guided their cultivation. Of course, all the methods they knew were from what they saw in books. After being guided by Long Ge, Long Wu and Xiao Yue's cultivation became even faster.

  When there were only three days left before the heavenly tribulation, Long Song finally made preparations for his own heavenly tribulation. Long Song was very confident in crossing his heavenly tribulation himself, because after the five elements merged, his physical strength increased greatly, and although he was only four years old, his height had already reached that of a six-year-old child, and his overall ability had long surpassed that of an air infant. Only by crossing the heavenly tribulation can one become an air infant, but Long Song's current strength had already exceeded that of an air infant, so crossing the tribulation was not a problem at all! Although he was very confident, to be on the safe side, he still prepared a bottle of 100 small Return Dan pills.

  After all the work was done, it was time for Long Song to cross the tribulation. Since he was very confident, he decided to do it in the village's martial arts arena so that the villagers could watch. Watching someone of the Qi Dan level go through the heavenly tribulation would be beneficial for the villagers, as they were also preparing to cross the Small Rain Tribulation themselves. If they watched someone else go through it live, their own tribulation would be much easier later on.

  The moment of the catastrophe is approaching, Long Ge stands in the center of the square, looking at the increasingly dense catastrophic clouds in the sky, and around the square, there are villagers standing and watching.

  "Xiao Long's song is really impressive! He passed the heavenly calamity at the age of four, while we are all over thirty and still haven't passed it." A villager beside him said.

  "Long Ge is a genius, how can we compare with him?" another villager said matter-of-factly.

  "The little dragon song makes everyone see him through the heavenly tribulation is really confident!" The village chief said to Long Wu.

  "Yes, this kid has read so many things from books, it's hard not to be impressed. I really don't know where he found such good books, I was in the bookstore at that time too." Long Wu sighed.

  "Stop talking and watch Xiaoxiao cross the calamity seriously." Little Yue said anxiously on the side, still worrying about her child the most.

  "Don't worry." Long Wu stroked Xiao Yue's face.

  The hijacked cloud finally reached its peak, and there were no more clouds gathered around.

  The red calamity cloud poured down from above, accompanied by a torrential rain. Long Song did not release the Earth Shield, nor did he use the Water Drop Step to dodge, nor did he use the Fire Seed Explosion to blast the calamity cloud, nor did he externally release his Golden Attribute Battle Qi. Instead, he used his body to harden and resist.

  "Why aren't you defending yourself?" Little Yue exclaimed in surprise. If it weren't for Long Wu stopping her, she would have loudly reminded Long Ge to pay attention to his defense.

  "Let's just smile and see the power of Xiao Yu Jie, don't worry, Xiao Xiao still has a bottle of Da Hui Dan and a bottle of Xiao Fu Dan on her!" Long Wu comforted Xiao Yue.

  "It's unprecedented to pass through such a catastrophe!" The village chief exclaimed.

  It's actually a result of Long Ge's careful consideration, as the baptism of the heavenly tribulation can best strengthen the muscles and bones, so the villagers can see such a scene, but they can't learn from it because they don't have Long Ge's strong recovery ability.

  In the heavy rain, Long Ge smiled and looked up at the sky. In the heavy rain, there was corrosive small rain that kept corroding Long Ge's body, but just as it had corroded half of his body, Long Ge used a wooden attribute wood core to quickly repair his body.

  The dragon song smiled at the heavenly calamity amidst corrosion and repair. The pain was unbearable for ordinary people, being corroded felt like countless ants biting, that numbness was really unbearable, but Long Ge looked up at the sky without changing his expression.

  His determination has long been unshakeable by such minor pains, a firm heart that has been submerged for over ten thousand years, how can these small tests be mentioned.

  When the rain grew heavier, the corrosive rain began to cut into Long Song's flesh like a knife. However, Long Song didn't care about the immense pain and quickly used wood core treatment to repair his body. After each repair, his muscles became even more resilient.

  Although Long Ge himself didn't care, but the little moon who was watching from the side felt heartbroken to death, it made her unbearable to watch, and she hid behind Long Wu.

  Long Wu couldn't bear to watch either, but he knew that this was a path every strong warrior had to take. The pain Long Yue suffered was directly proportional to the growth of his strength.

  "This little dragon song can really eat bitterness!" The village chief said with admiration.

  The villagers who were watching from the side, on the other hand, were extremely admiring of Long Song. They not only admired him but also revered him, because Long Song was not only strong in spirit but also showed extraordinary strength in reality. Without great strength, one would not dare to let the heavenly tribulation fall on their body and smile.

  The heavy rain poured down, corroding the square and causing it to sink, while the only thing standing was the Dragon Song in the center of the square.

  Long Song still maintained that captivating smile, smiling as he looked at the sky, smiling as he welcomed the heavenly calamity.

  The rain eroded Long Ge's body again and again, and Long Ge repaired his body again and again. No matter how big the rain was or how strong it was, standing firm in the wind and rain was that four-year-old small figure.

  As the rain continued to erode, Long Ge also desperately absorbed the energy from the small rain, and when it reached a certain level, Long Ge's Qi Dan began to swell to its limit.

  The surface of the Qi Dan began to crack, and as the cracks grew more numerous, Long Ge's Qi Dan burst open!

  The egg of the phoenix has been broken!

  A small creature similar to Long Song appeared inside the cracked air bead, constantly absorbing the white energy around it and growing. At the same time, Xiaoyu Jie's energy was also being absorbed by this little creature. This little creature is Long Song's Qi Infant, Long Song has advanced to the Qi Infant level!

  This little man is still in the growth stage, so he continues to absorb energy from his surroundings. As the absorbed energy increases, Long Ge's body flashes and he rises to the first level of Qi Infancy. The energy inside Jie Yun is frantically absorbed by Long Ge. Those energies are converted into white energy as soon as they enter Long Ge's Dantian position, and these white energies are constantly being devoured by the little man. After devouring those energies, the little man begins to grow rapidly. Long Ge is in this process of continuously absorbing energy and repairing his body.

  Three hours have passed, and the energy of the dark clouds has been almost completely consumed, leaving only a few scattered raindrops. Due to the depression in the square, Long Ge is now standing on a pillar made of mud. All the clothes on Long Ge's body have been corroded away, fortunately he is still young, otherwise there would be a leakage of spring light, haha!

  The dark clouds have dispersed, and a beautiful rainbow has appeared in the sky. The colors of the rainbow are so beautiful, so dazzling, that Long Ge recalls the time when he and Huo Wu watched the rainbow together after the rain. Those moments were so wonderful, so worth reminiscing about!

  But before he could finish his reminiscence, several little girls in the village burst out laughing and shouted: "Long Ge doesn't wear pants, it's so funny to see him with his butt exposed!!"

  Long Song's face suddenly turned red, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but there wasn't one here, so he hastily used his Water Drop Steps to quickly slip back home.

  After changing into good clothes at home, he came out to accept the villagers' congratulations. Such a big event as successfully passing the tribulation, of course, requires the whole village to come together and celebrate. So, four-year-old Long Ge had his first drink in this life, because his current physique was like that of a six-year-old, and his skills were deep enough, so it was okay to have a few cups of wine.

  The banquet began, and dishes such as braised tiger meat, stewed bear paws, red-braised wolf legs, steamed catfish, and bean-stewed whole wolves came out one after another.

  Eating delicious meat and drinking refreshing wine, everyone was very happy, especially Long Song, who had his first drink in this life. He was forced to drink by the adults until he became dizzy and disoriented. Fortunately, his profound internal strength constantly expelled the wine fumes, otherwise he would have passed out long ago.

  The villagers felt that in terms of cultivation, refining equipment and alchemy, they were not as good as Long Song. At least when it came to drinking, they had to save face, so everyone was desperately toasting Long Song, even Long Wu toasted him many times, because the feeling of being surpassed by his own son was extremely unbearable, so now he must drink back.

  After such a tragic drinking bout, the villagers began to feel dizzy and lightheaded one by one.

  They celebrated until night, and when the villagers fell back one by one in drunkenness, Long Song began to check how much his strength had actually increased.

  How much has Long Song's strength actually increased?
