This attribute panel is simply a masterpiece! It's breathtaking!

After stepping into the Golden Core Realm and equipping the new weapon Qingming Sword, Heavenly-grade sword techniques, and the Evil Soul Jade Pendant, Lin Jichen's already monstrous attributes have become downright terrifying.

Even Lin Jichen himself didn't expect this.

One could say that he now has the strength to contend with Chu Tianhan.

Although Chu Tianhan is a super genius of the Sword Sect, nurtured by Elder Tianjian since childhood, he doesn't have Lin Jichen's 'Heaven-defying Fate' talent.

This talent ensures that Lin Jichen's attributes are at least on par with Chu Tianhan's.

Of course, whether there are other differences can only be determined in an actual fight.

Even if he still can't win, he won't be as powerless as before.

As Lin Jichen was lost in self-admiration, the Thunder Tribulation arrived.

Lin Jichen suddenly remembered the matter of the Thunder Tribulation.

Fearing that the heavenly thunder might destroy his home, he immediately flew to Tribulation Crossing Peak.

The last time he broke through to the Crystal Realm, he almost died on this very peak, a memory still fresh in his mind.

Standing here again, Lin Jichen's state of mind was entirely different.

The last Thunder Tribulation was a backlash from several times of cunningly dodging the thunder, and its power was truly outrageous.

It's like an author who has to update three chapters daily but takes two days off without writing, then has to make up nine chapters on the third day. That kind of pain is deeply relatable, sob sob.

But after successfully crossing the tribulation last time, even though he had overcome the Heavenly Dao's backlash, if nothing unexpected happens, his future Thunder Tribulations should return to normal levels.

Lin Jichen felt a bit nostalgic, remembering how his master had watched and cheered him on during his last tribulation.

Unfortunately, his master wasn't here this time, making him feel like something was missing.

What Lin Jichen didn't know was that as the thunder roared in the sky, a figure emerged from a cave behind Sword Palace Mountain.

She looked up at the figure on Tribulation Crossing Peak, a slight smile forming on her lips, her icy face melting like snow, her phoenix eyes filled with relief and longing.

"Has my disciple almost broken through to the Golden Core Realm in just a month of my seclusion? Perhaps one day, his cultivation will truly surpass mine. When that time comes..."

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly stopped those strange thoughts in her mind.

She first returned to her bedchamber, intending to take a quick bath before going to see her disciple.

When she arrived at her bedchamber, she found a wooden plaque outside, covered in words.

Leng Feiyan picked it up and saw that it was filled with love notes Lin Jichen had written during his visits to her bedchamber.

For example, "The mountains have trees, and you have a heart; last night's stars were just like you. Missing Master, Year 1."

And, "The rivers and mountains fall on your brows, lingering long and tender; even a glance is worth it. Missing Master, Year 7."

And, "If not for you in this life, how could I worry about matching black hair with a white robe? Missing Master, Year 25."

...

And so on, all kinds of love notes.

Leng Feiyan's face turned red, her heart racing, her starry eyes like water.

She knew these words were incredibly cheesy, but she couldn't stop reading them, examining each word carefully.

After reading them all, Leng Feiyan's face was flushed, lightly biting her red lips, she shyly said, "This naughty disciple, always so glib, hmph~"

Though she said this, she held the wooden plaque like a treasure to her chest and quickly went inside to bathe and change...

***

Lin Jichen was completely unaware of the situation at Sword Palace Mountain.

As a bolt of heavenly thunder crashed down!

The Four Minor Thunder Tribulations arrived!

Lin Jichen did not dodge, nor did he activate his Thunder Armor defense; he took the first bolt of heavenly thunder with his bare body.

[-5000!]

Seeing this damage, Lin Jichen smiled with satisfaction. He could completely withstand this.

Then, the second bolt of heavenly thunder struck!

The heavenly thunder exploded on Lin Jichen's body, but still did not harm him fundamentally.

[-9000!]

Lin Jichen laughed heartily, feeling a sense of liberation.

Thinking back to when he had just been reborn, he had to calculate every move and cling to his master's help to survive the Thunder Tribulation.

Now, even without his master, he could withstand the Thunder Tribulation on his own.

Lin Jichen thought that when his master came out of seclusion, he would definitely put on a pitiful act, crying about how difficult it was to survive the Thunder Tribulation, and how thinking of his master kept him going.

Yes, his master would surely be deeply moved, and his affection level might increase by dozens of points, and she might even give him a few more divine artifacts. Hehe, delightful~
