Chapter 321: Surviving the Tribulation, Qingzhou Prince Manor Declares War

The lightning tribulation lasted two hours, and no one bothered to count exactly how many bolts of tribulation lightning descended.

Even from that distance, everyone at Seven Stars Tower felt enormous pressure from the tribulation’s residual power alone. They could hardly imagine what Ling Hongwen himself was enduring.

The tribulation lightning hadn’t ceased, which meant the transcending cultivator was still alive. If he had perished, the tribulation lightning would naturally dissipate.

No cultivator in Qingzhou rested that night. Apart from those in death seclusion, all had stopped cultivating as well.

No Tribulation Transcendence cultivator had ever appeared in Qingzhou since its establishment. That was one reason the province had always been overlooked: to the other provinces, it was barren land that could not produce a powerhouse of that realm.

Qingzhou was relatively young, of course. People had inhabited the other provinces since ancient times, whereas Qingzhou had become human territory only a few thousand years ago.

The strongest of Qingzhou’s native factions was Pure Yang Sect, and even its ancestor was only at Great Ascension. To the other provinces, it was a backwater.

Although there were many other Great Ascension stage cultivators, these were all external forces. For example, Governor-General Bai Junxiong was a senior official of the upper second rank of the Heavenly Dynasty, a high-ranking regional commander. The demoted Xiao Yuande was formerly an Imperial Prince. The Immortal Dao Merchant Association went without saying-Ling Hongwen was the head of the Ling Family, one of the three main families of the Association.

Even with so many Great Ascension stage cultivators, Qingzhou was still viewed by other provinces as just a barren land lacking Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses.

If there were no external forces, Qingzhou’s local strength would be even more pitiful, with only a handful of Great Ascension stage cultivators. Any first-tier force could easily sweep through an entire province.
