Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming oversaw Yin Shilan's ascension to the Nascent Soul Stage on the floating mountain, activating a supportive formation and summoning late-stage Golden Corpses for protection. Bolstered by top-grade spirit pills and vast spiritual energy, Yin Shilan shattered her Golden Core and formed a nascent Nascent Soul, her aura stabilizing at the early stage. As thunderclouds gathered for the Heavenly Tribulation, Li Shiming applied a Thunder Resistance Secret Method to her, while Ren Fei’er inquired about their future plans and the Beishu Sect cultivators observed from afar in excitement.

Some cultivators among the spectators harbored deep worries.

Patriarch Ge and Ancestor Zhan stood out as those privy to the truth; these two Nascent Soul powerhouses fully understood that Yin Shilan was on the verge of facing the Heavenly Tribulation.

The potential fallout if Yin Shilan failed to overcome the tribulation crossed their minds.

Merely imagining it sent shudders through them, gripped by dread of an apocalyptic horror.

Considering Li Shiming's profound love for Yin Shilan, should that dire outcome happen, they dreaded that the whole Beishu Sect, or perhaps the entire Beishu Continent, might face Li Shiming's furious vengeance.

They firmly held the view that Li Shiming had founded the Beishu Sect primarily for Yin Shilan's sake.

Without that, Li Shiming's immense might would find nothing in the whole Beishu Continent worthy of his attention.

Interactions with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had allowed Patriarch Ge and Ancestor Zhan to verify Li Shiming's dominance in the cultivation realm.

Li Shiming's prowess had even subdued the Dongqi Continent, and from their exchanges with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they grasped the desolation of Beishu Continent; if Dongqi Continent's might failed to draw Li Shiming in, why would he bother with Beishu Continent?

All the two Nascent Soul Ancestors could do was silently beseech that Yin Shilan would cross the tribulation smoothly, free from any mishaps.

"Boom," the initial bolt of Heavenly Thunder crashed down.

Sensing the dread of the Heavenly Thunder, Ren Feier shook violently, as the might of heaven and earth proved far too formidable for her, an inexperienced minor cultivator.

Li Shiming sensed the Heavenly Thunder's force as well, a subtle grin playing on his mouth.

Should anyone catch his thoughts, they would definitely hear the words "Is that it?".

In truth, to his senses, this Heavenly Thunder's strength paled in comparison to his own Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, where he forged five Nascent Souls at once, and it fell far short of even half the intensity of Li Yuanba's Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

This qualified as merely a standard Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, actually milder than what a typical cultivator would endure.

Evidently, the 'Thousand Illusion Technique', as a modest cultivation method, provoked little reaction from the Heaven and Earth Rules.

The Heavenly Thunder struck Yin Shilan; though tense at first, her features softened into utter calm once she gauged its might.

Such a look had no place on one braving a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, but there it was, plain on Yin Shilan's visage.

Her faith in Li Shiming meant he offered no protective artifacts, and she made no request for them.

She was certain that without absolute assurance, Li Shiming would never expose her to peril.

Lightning danced across her form, seeming utterly ruinous, yet it merely brought a faint prickling to her senses.

Adhering to Li Shiming's guidance, she remained utterly motionless.

From countless heavenly tribulations, Li Shiming had learned this trick: by offering no opposition to the tribulation, its force stayed at minimal levels.

"Boom," the next bolt of Heavenly Thunder fell, and now Yin Shilan experienced a slight numbness that briefly overtook her body.

Seated in lotus position, this fleeting loss of command posed no disruption to her.

Furthermore, she noticed that the pair of Heavenly Thunders had barely drained the secret method's power that Li Shiming had placed upon her.

"Still too extravagant!" The thought echoed the expression she'd uttered most frequently over the last three years.

As a Golden Core cultivator, she savored luxuries beyond the reach of many Nascent Soul experts.

For cultivation aids, she relied solely on supreme spirit pills, and in her dwelling, whether grand or modest, every item in view or reach boasted fourth-grade excellence.

Her practice setting featured such dense Spiritual Energy that she continued adjusting to it; once acclimated, the Spiritual Energy's richness could keep growing.

Additionally, tutelage from a supreme cultivator served as the main factor enabling her Nascent Soul breakthrough in just three years.

In her reflections, she endured the second thunder strike.

Amid the anxiety gripping every cultivator, the third Heavenly Thunder descended.

Yet, Yin Shilan and Li Shiming on the scene, having precisely assessed the thunder's potency, displayed zero worry.

The third bolt proved the mightiest; upon impact, Yin Shilan's hair rose wildly, and she first truly sensed the lightning's oppressive weight.

Regrettably, the pressure vanished before she could fully register it.

Soon after, heavenly blessings flowed through her, enhancing her flesh and soul without cease.

When the glow of divine rewards emerged, Patriarch Ge and Ancestor Zhan simultaneously exhaled in relief, sharing a glance filled with shared ease.

They glanced at the clueless cultivators nearby, oblivious to the grave danger that had just passed.

Naturally, those onlookers remained ignorant, shielded by a Thunder Cultivator surpassing peak Great Cultivators in power, plus an Alchemy Master who could craft pills to perfect theoretical standards, rendering a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation utterly straightforward.

In that Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, Yin Shilan merely had to hold steady without stirring.

Only now did the pair of Nascent Soul cultivators venture to approach the hovering mountain, trailed by Beishu Sect's senior leaders.
