When Bai Hongtu declared he’d perform his Transcendance Tribulation stage act, Ji Zhi eagerly presented a pre-prepared heart-saving pill.

However, Jiang Li had a resilient heart and didn’t need the pill, which was a bit of a disappointment for Ji Zhi.

The center of the stage was filled with a dazzling array of lightning. Bai Hongtu’s expressions were hard to decipher, but Jiang Li could see them clearly.

Bai Hongtu was grinning and playing with a hula hoop, appearing to be at ease when, in fact, he was shuddering involuntarily from electric shocks.

The force of the Heavenly Tribulation was so strong that it incinerated Bai Hongtu’s clothes into ashes.

In other words, he was now stark naked.

“The Dao Sect Master’s Public Streaking”

Jiang Li rubbed his face, this second stage performance was surely a big one.

After the Heavenly Tribulation stage, the stairway to immortality didn’t materialize. As people were still adjusting to the change in light, Jiang Li wrapped Bai Hongtu in a white sheet, covering him up and leading him back to the stands.

“That damned Heavenly Tribulation! It’s not fair. They said it wouldn’t translate to my clothes. How come it didn’t even leave me a pair of underwear?” Bai Hongtu grumbled.

He wrapped himself tightly in the sheet, leaving only his head exposed as he berated the Heavenly Tribulation, showing no signs of joy for successfully passing it.

Jiang Li smacked him on the back of his head, accusing him of pretending.

So far, only two people in the Kyushu region had passed the Transcendance Tribulation: Leader Liu and Li Er. Bai Hongtu was the third, and undoubtedly the most noticeable one.

“How does it feel to pass Transcendance Tribulation for the first time?” casually asked Jiang Li, causing the others to listen intently.

Bai Hongtu scoffed, “How am I supposed to feel? I feel like I could become an Earth Immortal at any moment. All I lack is a baptism of immortal power. It’s frustrating.”

“On the other hand, the Mahayana Realm, there’s no way I can touch that.

Honestly, if you hadn’t already reached it, I’d still be doubting its existence.” “Tell me again, how do you break through to the Mahayana Realm?”

Jiang Li glared, “I’ve already told you how to break through to the Mahayana Realm several times. You just can’t seem to understand my theory. What am I supposed to do about that?”

Bai Hongtu tried to joke his away out of it, “Jiang bro, you’re my bro. Can’t you put in a bit of effort, simplify the theory so that simpletons like us at the Transcendance Tribulation stage can understand?”

Jiang Li agreed, as he had always been trying to simplify and deconstruct the theory of the Mahayana Realm, although it had not been making much progress.

The power of Bai Hongtu’s tribulation was so tremendous that it shattered the entire stage. Leader Liu suppressed a bout of nausea and dispatched additional personnel to repair it.

“Next up, we have the Buddhist sect’s performance – Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rock, Paper, Scissors is an ancient sport that not only tests one’s luck but also their skill and speed. Let’s wait and see what surprise the Buddhist sect has for us.”

While the name of the Buddhist sect’s performance was puzzling, the host had seen someone who had survived the Transcendance Tribulation, so he didn’t think there was a problem and welcomed the performance with applause.

The audience, still reeling from the magnificent remnants of the devastating Heavenly Tribulation, took a while to recover, but also began to applaud.

Two holy Bodhisattvas lightly stepped onto the stage, their hands pressed together, faces full of compassion.

Suddenly, thousands of hands appeared behind them; some clapped, some clenched in a fist, and others stretched out two fingers.

The two Bodhisattvas were actually using the Thousand-Hand Guanyin gesture to play Rock, Paper, Scissors!

There were thousands of hands on either side, each corresponding to the other, extending either scissors or a hammer to see who would win.

Only when one side had all its thousands of hands beating the other side would it be considered a victory!

This spectacle had many flaw points, so many that Jiang Li didn’t even know where to begin his criticisms.

“Whose idea was this?”

The Arhat who broke the Dragon and the Arhat who didn’t break the Dragon looked at each other, then simultaneously pointed to the Vantian Tower, “This was Buddha’s proposal.’

The Vantian tower didn’t see any problem with this performance, and they proudly said, “Isn’t a show supposed to be enjoyable and surprising?

“Don’t you think the postures of the two Bodhisattvas using their thousand hand Guanyin is gorgeous? That’s enjoyability.”

“Do you know when the game will end? That’s the surprise.”

“This performance is just perfect.”

“This performance was very good, don’t do it again next time.”

Hearing the praise, Vantian tower felt contented.

The two Bodhisattvas couldn’t possibly finish their game in a day. Jiang Li communicated with the two Bodhisattvas, urging them to end the performance, with one side all choosing rock and the other side all choosing scissors.

The Confucius sect performed on language evolution. They sifted through ancient books, studied history, mapped out the process of language evolution, refined the scripts, and then on the stage, used silent words and exaggerated actions to display how thousands of languages came together to form the Kyushu language, giving a feeling of epicness.

With the performances by the Daoist and Buddhist sects as reference points, the Confucian sect’s spectacle seemed too normal, creating an out-of-place atmosphere on the spot.

“We lack creativity.” Director Dong commented.

Jiang Li interjected, “No, no, no, the way you are currently is fine, no need for more innovation.”

Having finally found a normal person, Jiang Li couldn’t let them go without a comment.

“Next, we have a drama performed collaboratively by the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Four Sea Dragon Palace — ‘Li Nezha Makes a Scene in the Sea.’

“???” Jiang Li was confused. Who is this Li Nezha? Didn’t the name sound a bit off?

He wasn’t surprised that the tale of Nezha causing unrest in the ocean was in existence in Kyushu, because he was the one who disseminated it. It was very popular, as Kyushu people loved stories related to gods and ghosts.

The performance on stage was progressing in an orderly manner.

In a location near the coast of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a place called Chen Tang Pass. Its commander was named Li Jing, and his wife was Mrs. Yin.

Mrs. Yin gave birth to her third son.

“Since the eldest son is Jinzha, and the second son is Muzha, this third son should be called Shuizha,” Li Jing suggested.

“Shuizha doesn’t sound good. Let’s just call him Nezha,” Mrs. Yin disliked her husband’s choice of name.

“Alright, let’s call him Nezha. My third son’s name is Li Nezha.” Li Jing laughed heartily, thinking his wife was quite cultured.

Li Nezha had a talent for cultivation, and his skills progressed rapidly.

As the Great Zhou Dynasty was adjacent to the East Sea, the Third son of the

Dragon King stirred up a storm causing immense trouble for Chen Tang Pass. He even threatened to devour the children of the fishermen. Unwilling to stand down, Li Nezha fought the Dragon King’s son for three hundred rounds. In the end, the Dragon King’s son was defeated and stripped of his dragon tendon.

Furious, the East Sea Dragon King, along with his three brothers transformed into their dragon selves. With the Dragon Ball in hand, they threatened the Chen Tang Pass, demanding that Li Jing surrender Li Nezha, or they would flood the Chen Tang Pass!

The Four Sea Dragon Kings mustered unlimited mana, forming a thousand-foot high tsunami that even cast over the sun. Chen Tang Pass was utterly insignificant in the face of such a disaster.

Though powerless, Li Jing remained stubbornly unyielding. Mrs. Yin heart-wrenchingly cried, and Li Nezha stepped forward bravely, stating: “Old Dragon King, here I am, what are you going to do to me?”

The East Sea Dragon King bore his heinous teeth and ruthlessly declared, “Of course, we’ll charge you for intentionally causing harm, and you’ll be sent to the Great Zhou to face punishment!”

Jiang Li felt this was a tad different from what he’d previously remembered..
