Gao Xuan remained calm and composed, as if he had just finished a hot bath, showing no sign of haste or embarrassment.
The tribulation thunder that lasted nearly ten hours seemed to have no effect on Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan tenderly rubbed Ripples' forehead: "I'm done, now it's your turn. Don't come to see me unless you can cross the Nine-Tiered Thunder Tribulation in one go."
"Nine-Tiered Thunder Tribulation is as easy as turning a hand."
Ripples also confidently raised the Hongyi Sword in her hand; with this divine sword in hand, what is a thunder tribulation?
"You can't use a sword to cross the tribulation."
Gao Xuan casually collected the Hongyi Sword. He advised, "Although you are transformed from a Sword Spirit, you must learn to be independent from the Hongyi Sword."
The Hongyi Sword, though good, is ultimately an external object. Relying on the divine sword to cross the tribulation is easy, but it serves no purpose of tempering.
