RUMBLE!
The deafening sound of thunder echoed in the massive room while powerful lightning serpents roiled in the clouds.
Unlike the heavenly tribulation of the Spiritual Path, not only were the clouds darker, but they also poured a mountainous pressure that would make an average cultivator fall flat on their face.
This made Yasenia curious. Why did that happen? Of course, she knew that the way of advancement and training was different, but the exaggerated reaction was not normal. 'Maybe this is not normal?'
Yasenia felt that she was not wrong. She had seen other tribulations. After all, there were thousands of body cultivators in her sect, and thanks to her resources, quite a few had broken through. Each time, she saw the cultivators sitting cross-legged and literally tanking the lightning bolts.
Because of this, there were actually 12 deaths during these last years because of the Heavenly Tribulations. People were obliterated to the point that not even their corpses remained, just a blackened, charred crater.
From these situations, she learned that Heavenly Tribulations would actually not stop after the death of the cultivators, and they would continue to strike anything in the area that had a hint of aura. From what she learned from Tatyana, the heavens would strike as such to eliminate chances of anyone who survived with just their soul to avoid dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation.
There were techniques that got rid of the body and left just the soul behind, after all.
Yasenia was quite speechless when she learned. In this situation, although fair, the Heavens were ruthless.
There was another problem, or better said, peculiarity, that happened with Yasenia's usual tribulation, other than them being strong enough to make any other creature despair.
Attentive, the dragoness looked around, and to her surprise, she didn't see the Sun and Moon Gods. This made her thoughtful. 'Strange. Do they only appear for my highest-ranked tribulation? Or do they only appear for my spiritual path cultivation? If it is the latter, I can increase my Body Cultivation to much higher realms than the spiritual one and then face them when I'm much stronger.'
While the dragoness thought that, she knew it was a gamble. Even if it were the truth, what if the Moon and Sun Gods got stronger with her own overall strength? What if that was not the case, and they appeared in the highest tribulation?
In either of those scenarios, Yasenia's fate would be sealed.
Therefore, she couldn't gamble. So, she would probably never try. Once her Body Cultivation caught up with her Beast and Spiritual cultivation, she would advance all of them simultaneously, or at least wait until all the paths reached the limits of the realm before breaking through all of them at once.
Moreover, Yasenia's objective was to get stronger without shortcuts so that her foundation would always be as solid as possible. If the step forward she could take were not a perfect one, the dragoness would not take it until she could perfect it.
She believed that, as long as she did her best on her cultivation path, she would be able to overcome her future challenges and reach higher realms.
'I'll never bend my knee to a Fated tomorrow. If I'm truly Fated to die under my tribulations, I'll become stronger than Fate can ever predict and push through!'
That was her belief, and were she to fall to the Tribulations, then she would never regret it. Yasenia was sure that she was doing her utmost best to resist. If her "best" was "not enough," then that was that. She would welcome death with a smile on her face.
