Chapter 2393: Plane Rejection!
The so-called dimensional tribulation.
Is actually a plane’s resistance against a mighty being from another plane.
Of course, this resistance only manifests when a certain level is reached.
Simply said.
Zhou Yu came up from the Human Clan Plane.
For the Primordial Realm, Zhou Yu is a foreigner.
Therefore, the realm itself naturally resists outsiders.
This is the very law of the Heavenly Dao.
However, this resistance has a limit.
When the outsider’s strength is weak, plane resistance doesn’t manifest.
Only when the outsider’s strength affects the native powers of the plane to a certain extent, plane resistance appears.
And when Zhou Yu stepped into the Integration Realm, his strength had reached the limit of plane resistance.
Thus, Zhou Yu naturally sensed the Heavenly Dao’s resistance against him.
Moreover, this resistance isn’t just once or twice.
But as Zhou Yu’s cultivation grows, the plane resistance will continuously increase.
Until one day, Zhou Yu’s strength reaches the limit that the plane can withstand.
This powerful resistance will send him to a higher-level plane.
And the ultimate manifestation of plane resistance is the heavenly tribulation.
This tribulation is different from the Integration Realm tribulation Zhou Yu just passed.
The tribulation spawned by plane resistance will be several times, even tenfold, the Integration Realm tribulation.
Thus, Zhou Yu must prepare thoroughly before the dimensional tribulation arrives.
First and foremost, he must refine the Cosmic Divine Mountain completely.
Among all of Zhou Yu’s treasures, only this one is most suited to resist the dimensional tribulation.
If he can complete the refinement of the Cosmic Divine Mountain, just relying on this treasure, Zhou Yu is confident in passing through the first dimensional tribulation.
Of course, besides refining the Cosmic Divine Mountain.
Zhou Yu must further enhance his body and Primordial Spirit.
On one hand to withstand the tribulation, and on the other to cultivate the God Sacrifice Technique.
Presently, Zhou Yu has cultivated the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique to its highest realm.
This means that just the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique alone can no longer enhance his physical strength.
Therefore, Zhou Yu urgently needs to refine the Vajra Pill and Strong God Pill.
Only by refining these two pills can Zhou Yu continue to enhance his physical body and Primordial Spirit.
Then, he can cultivate the second layer of the God Sacrifice Technique.
While stabilizing his realm, Zhou Yu calculated all these matters in his mind.
He did not know that outside, the world had been turned upside down because of his successful advancement.
After all, this place where Zhou Yu is now is still within the scope of the Human and Demon Clans’ influence.
And for the Human and Demon Clans, a cultivator in the Integration Realm is already considered a top-level figure.
Thus, each appearance of such an individual greatly influences the balance of power among the Human and Demon Clans.
There are no secrets that cannot be revealed, and as the Ancient Elder spread the news of Zhou Yu’s successful breakthrough, the news quickly spread.
In just about half a month, many cultivators from all directions rushed to the outside of Zhou Yu’s secluded cultivation land.
Of course, these people knew Zhou Yu was stabilizing his realm, so they didn’t intrude recklessly. Instead, they waited anxiously outside.
As more people gathered, the place gradually became lively.
On this day, an elder in a gray robe appeared outside Zhou Yu’s secluded land.
He stood on a mountaintop, gazing at Zhou Yu’s secluded cave, while observing the aftermath of the tribulation, with a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.
At this moment, sensing something, the gray-robed elder looked up.
In the distant sky, a silver light swiftly flew towards him.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared before the gray-robed elder.
Then, the silver light dispersed, revealing the figure of a beautiful woman.
Seeing the woman, the gray-robed elder showed a surprised expression.
"Daoist Gu Yue, I didn’t expect the Gu Family Head to personally come!"
This beautiful woman is the current head of the Gu Family, Gu Yue.
At this moment, Gu Yue looked at the gray-robed elder and slightly bowed.
"I sensed a familiar presence; it turns out to be Elder Qi from Fengyuan City."
"I didn’t expect Elder Qi to be faster than this old lady."
Elder Qi shook his head with a smile.

"The old man happened to have some business outside the city; while I was preparing to return, I received news that someone broke into the Integration Realm, and it was near me, so I was first to arrive here."
"Speaking of which, Daoist Gu Yue, you aren’t slow either."
Gu Yue laughed:
"A branch of our Gu Family is nearby; they are acquaintances with this Daoist who just broke through, so upon learning of his breakthrough, I came."
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi’s expression slightly changed.
"So Daoist Gu Yue already knows this newly broken-through Integration Realm cultivator?"
Gu Yue replied indifferently:
"Sort of."
"This time, I came specifically to invite this Daoist to the Gu Family for a visit."
"Elder Qi, I trust you won’t compete with me?"
Hearing this, Elder Qi smiled wryly.
"Daoist Gu Yue, if it were any other matter, the old man could concede."
"But not this time."
"As you know, a hundred years ago, the alien race attacked the city, causing heavy losses to Fengyuan City, including the loss of four elders."
"Additionally, two elders failed the tribulation crossing, and their deadline approaches."
"Fengyuan City urgently needs to replenish its strength."
"This matter concerns Fengyuan City’s safety."
"I hope Daoist Gu Yue will understand."
In truth, both understood the situation; both came to meet the newly advanced Integration Realm cultivator.
Their goal was none other than to recruit the individual into their respective factions.
However, Elder Qi directly brought up Fengyuan City’s safety, which made it difficult for Gu Yue to refute.
After all, the Gu Family is also a faction within the Human and Demon Clans.
Thus, they share mutual joys and sorrows.
Nevertheless, Gu Yue did not intend to give up easily.
She shifted her tone and said:
"Elder Qi, this old lady thinks we don’t need to dispute yet."
"After all, this Daoist is newly integrated and completed the breakthrough alone here, which shows his ambition and pride is far from ordinary cultivators."
"We might both come for nothing."
Elder Qi nodded.
Upon arriving, he first examined the surroundings.
The purpose was to infer the behavior habits of this newly integrated cultivator.
From the surrounding environment, it was clear this person is a loose cultivator, without any factional support.
Yet there is a distinct fluctuation from a strong array barrier.
This indicates that the person is well-prepared and confident.
This type of loose cultivator is usually immensely powerful and difficult to associate with.
Thus, Elder Qi himself did not have much confidence.
"How about we wait for this Daoist to finish seclusion, then both of us will visit together?"
Gu Yue nodded.
"Agreed."
At that moment, a voice rang out from the secluded area.
"Two Daoists, having come from afar, why not come in for a talk?"
