Everyone noticed the rosy light and clouds above the sky.
Many couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Oh, gods, this is a miracle, a miracle!"
"Kneel down, quickly kneel down."
Not only the villagers of Yucun but also people from other villages knelt down, devoutly and nervously looking up at the sky.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Lu Yan's gaze returned from the sky, falling on Yu Su, with a burning light in his eyes.
Yu Su really did it.
He watched Yu Su on the stage, feeling a strong excitement in his heart.
Perhaps everyone found the miracle shocking, but in his heart, Yu Su was the most impressive.
Yu Su was the treasure he wanted to cherish.
Lu Yan took a deep breath, restraining his wild thoughts.
...
At a certain moment, Yu Su felt the gaze from the sky above.
This gaze pulled him back slightly from the mysterious state.
It seemed like...
No way?
Although he had always talked about attracting the attention of Senior White Ze, he didn't think he had the ability.
Just dancing a ritual dance could really attract the attention of a god.
But what's happening now?
Did he really succeed?
Yu Su was a bit dazed at this moment, too stunned to react.
He just focused on dancing the ritual dance with all his heart.
Some presence above the sky seemed quite satisfied with his calm demeanor, and if Yu Su knew, he might be told that it was a wonderful misunderstanding.
Anyway, Yu Su succeeded.
Moreover, during the communication with the heavens and the earth, he immersed himself in a mysterious state.
It greatly elevated his state of mind in this ritual dance, leading to a significant improvement in his cultivation.
As the ritual dance was about to end, Yu Su felt that his cultivation was approaching the middle stage of foundation building, a completely unexpected joy.
However, the most significant reaction at that moment was not from Yu Su but from Jian Yunchuan.
Jian Yunchuan, originally at the ninth level of Qi Refining, comprehended something due to this miracle.
He sat down on the spot, entering a state of meditation beneath the miracle.
His cultivation steadily climbed, indicating a tendency to break through to the foundation building stage.
While other cultivators were still gazing at the sky in a daze, after the clouds and rosy light dispersed, Yu Meng and the others realized the situation. Following Jian Yunchuan's example, they sat down to comprehend, trying to digest the feelings brought by the miracle.
Lu Yan also sat down, closing his eyes slowly.
Yu Su, still looking at the sky, bowed in reverence, bidding farewell to the departing god.
When he no longer felt the gaze from the sky, he stood up straight.
At this moment, his heart started to beat faster.
So excited that it was almost about to burst out from his chest.
If it weren't for maintaining the demeanor of a witch doctor, he would have screamed on the spot.
"Congratulations," Chi Nan said to Yu Su on the sacrificial platform.
With an excited heart, Yu Su nodded to him, then turned his attention to the surroundings. Seeing Lu Yan and others in meditation, and the villagers and guests still kneeling, he removed his mask and hung it back at his waist.
Firstly, he set up a soundproof barrier around Lu Yan and the others in meditation to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed. Then he said to the rest, "You can all stand up now."
The villagers and guests dared to stand up only after kneeling for a long time. Yu Su noticed they were a bit unsteady, so he raised his hand and performed a large Revitalization Technique, allowing them to regain their mobility.
Feeling the warmth, many were almost tempted to kneel again.
...
Although the ritual dance had ended, the excitement in everyone's hearts lingered.
To witness a miracle today ensured their safety and smoothness throughout the coming year.
There couldn't be anything better than this, and everyone celebrated joyfully, expressing their excited feelings.
Yu Su went home, changed into simpler clothes, and returned to join the celebration.
Chi Nan came over with a wine glass, toasting Yu Su.
"How did you manage to do it?" He couldn't resist asking the question.
To be honest, Yu Su replied, "I didn't expect it to succeed either."
This was Yu Su's honest confession.
But Chi Nan didn't entirely believe it; he thought Yu Su must have some secret.
His gaze fell on the table in front of Yu Su.
There was a cup filled with fresh fruit juice on the table.
A small, fluffy yellow bird stood in front of the cup, happily drinking the juice, unaware that Chi Nan was watching it.
Chi Nan smiled and didn't press further.
"Perhaps your ritual dance was very powerful."
"Where, where," Yu Su modestly smiled, feeling a bit proud inside.
Chi Nan added, "Thanks to you, I've also benefited a lot, and many of my injuries have healed."
Yu Su teased, "Has your memory recovered?"
Chi Nan smiled slightly, "Not yet, it might take some more time."
Yu Su said, "Well, you must take good care of yourself."
The two exchanged a smile, conveying everything without words.
The celebration continued into the night, with various performances taking turns, creating a lively atmosphere.
Cultivators who had been meditating in the square successively came out of the barrier. In the end, only Jian Yunchuan remained inside.
Yu Su specifically went to check and found that his father's aura was becoming more harmonious, a precursor to the foundation building stage, which surprised him.
Yu Meng said, "Is Lord Yunchuan going to directly build the foundation?"
Yu Su was also uncertain, "Probably not."
After all, Jian Yunchuan had just entered the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago.
However, he couldn't be sure because Jian Yunchuan had a history of ascending a small realm with each enlightenment.
Yu Su looked at Yu Meng and others, "How are you guys?"
Yu Meng excitedly exclaimed, "I've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining!"
Yu Feng and Yu Yong have also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and others have cultivated to the sixth level.
Originally at the fifth level of Qi Refining, they had basically ascended to a small realm.
Those who hadn't reached the fifth level of Qi Refining didn't comprehend as deeply since their meridians hadn't fully opened.
Yu Su was pleased with this; everyone's strength had increased.
At night, after the celebration feast ended, those who weren't intoxicated started cleaning up the mess on the tables.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the square, causing people to stagger.
This sudden evil wind startled everyone.
Not long after, thunderous sounds rang out from above, indicating a thunderstorm.
"What's going on? Wasn't it clear moonlight just now? Why is there suddenly a strong wind and thunder?"
"Everyone, quickly return to your houses. We can clean up the rest tomorrow."
"Wait, Lord Yunchuan is still on the square."
"You go check; I'll go inform Lord Yu Su."
In fact, there was no need for someone else to inform him; Yu Su had already arrived on the square. Upon sensing the abnormal celestial phenomenon, he knew what was happening.
Arriving at the square, Yu Su grabbed Jian Yunchuan and, using his sword, flew towards the eastern mountain.
Those who rushed to the square witnessed this scene.
They could clearly feel that the strong wind and thunder were following Yu Su and the others.
"On the mountain gods, what's going on!"
"Why is the strong wind and thunder chasing after Lord Yu Su?"
"Could something bad happen?"
People were worried, and even some who were drunk were now sober, their faces turning pale.
At this moment, Yu Feng and others arrived, reassuring everyone.
"That's Lord Yunchuan undergoing tribulation."
"Tribulation?"
Non-cultivators couldn't understand what this meant.
Yu Feng explained simply, "Every cultivator has to undergo tribulation when reaching a new realm. Once Lord Yunchuan completes the tribulation, like Lord Yu Su and Leader Lu, he'll be able to fly using a sword."
People now understood and felt a bit relieved.
"Will Lord Yunchuan be okay?"
"He'll be fine. Don't forget, we've received the protection of the gods during the day."
"Yes, that's right. Nothing should go wrong."
After settling the villagers, Yu Feng and the other cultivators hurried towards the eastern mountains.
Lu Yan was the first to arrive, followed by Yu Meng and the others.
By this time, Yu Su had already taken Jian Yunchuan to a mountain peak on the south side of the eastern mountains, not too far from the mountain path.
"Dad, here are some pills and a magical tool. If you sense danger, throw the tool to block the heavenly thunder and take the pills."
"I'll be nearby watching you. If anything goes wrong, I'll come to rescue you."
Jian Yunchuan, now awakened from meditation, understood that he was about to undergo tribulation.
Even though it came unexpectedly, he remained calm. He had always been bold and didn't have much fear in his heart.
Taking the items handed by Yu Su, he said, "I understand. When the tribulation thunder is about to strike, quickly get away. Don't be affected."
Yu Su reminded him once more before flying away from the center of the tribulation clouds using his sword.
Lu Yan approached him.
"How is it going?"
"Pills and the magical tool are given to Dad. Now we wait for Dad."
Seeing him nervous, Lu Yan held his hand, "Don't worry; he will successfully pass the tribulation."
Yu Su nodded.
At this moment, chirping sounds were heard. A small, milky-yellow ball flew desperately toward Yu Su from the night sky, landing on his shoulder.
Yu Su asked, "Where's Xiao Zhou?"
In the rush, he had forgotten about the little black bird.
The little black bird had come on its own.
Yu Su said, "I forgot to bring Xiao Zhou before. He's still at home."
Lu Yan said, "He went to school. He's with Chi Nan now."
Xiao Zhou was still too young. Yu Su didn't bring him along earlier because he was worried about leaving any psychological trauma that might affect his future foundation building.
Hearing that he was with Chi Nan, Yu Su felt a bit relieved. Chi Nan should understand the seriousness and not let Xiao Zhou run over.
Soon, the clouds of tribulation gathered thicker in the sky, and the thunder became louder.
In another moment, the tribulation thunder would strike down.
