His deduction process was, in fact, seeking answers from the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper would not directly give him the answer, but instead, through his thoughts, it would retrieve past starry sky images, thereby searching for matching scenes to provide to Su Yuan.
Then, Su Yuan would deduce the correct or near-correct answer through a series of organization and calculations.
The starlight of the Big Dipper has illuminated the world since ancient times, recording everything that has happened in the world. It contains countless pieces of information, and to find the required information, precise search conditions must be provided.
Of course, the higher the "authority" and the more compatible a being is with the Big Dipper, the more and more accurate information they can obtain.
Seven Stars Shining Brightly provided Su Yuan with extremely high authority, and his compatibility was also maxed out, which made his deductions almost universally successful.
After guessing the principle behind the Heavenly Tribulation's generation and conducting deductions based on this, Su Yuan instinctively received feedback from the Big Dipper, thus deducing several answers.
This included the quality of the Dao foundation integrated into the Nascent Soul, the quality of the magical power, the strength of the Soul, and the depth and breadth of the Heavenly Principles.
After a quick calculation, with his current Nascent Soul strength, he would have to pass through twelve bolts of Heavenly Thunder.
The power of the Heavenly Thunder would reach the level of the early Divine Mind. Here, the early Divine Mind refers to the power at the moment the Heavenly Tribulation strikes. Cultivators can continuously weaken the strength of the Heavenly Thunder by clashing with it through attacks. After being weakened and then blocked by defensive means, the damage to the body is significantly reduced.
Heavenly Thunder is a one-time attack and does not continuously supply energy like a Cultivator, so the so-called Heavenly Thunder with early Divine Mind power is not as difficult as imagined.
The benefits after passing are also simple: it enhances the ability to perceive the Heavenly Principles in the world. The stronger the Heavenly Tribulation one passes, the easier it will be to comprehend the Heavenly Principles in the future.
Su Yuan looked at the fifth-tier and sixth-tier spiritual treasures he possessed and fell into contemplation. With these two spiritual treasures protecting him, coupled with his own strength, resisting a Spirit Transformation level Heavenly Tribulation didn't seem like a difficult problem.
So he began to think of ways to increase the intensity of his Heavenly Tribulation. The quality of the Dao foundation, the quality of the magical power, and the strength of the Soul could not be changed in a short time. What could be modified were the integrated Heavenly Principles!
Su Yuan immediately integrated his comprehension of the Starry Sky Conception into his Nascent Soul Dao foundation. When the intensity of the Conception force increased to 'rudimentary', the tribulation cloud expanded once, and the number of thunderbolts reached fourteen.
When the Starry Sky Conception increased to 'minor accomplishment', the tribulation cloud expanded a second time, and the number of Heavenly Thunderbolts reached fifteen.
And when he raised the Starry Sky Conception to 'major accomplishment', the tribulation cloud in the sky expanded again, reaching seventeen bolts.
Su Yuan finally injected the 'perfected' level Starry Sky Conception into his Nascent Soul.
The tribulation cloud in the sky displayed a complete two-layer tribulation cloud, signifying the birth of a complete Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
At this point, the Heavenly Tribulation had reached the level of the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
The tribulation cloud had already begun to automatically brew the thunder tribulation.
Su Yuan played it safe and waited for the arrival of the Heavenly Thunder.
Su Yuan's actions, however, stunned the Elders who were observing nearby.
"What, a complete Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
Immortal Elder Nangong's expression changed drastically, and he said with a grim face, "How is this possible?"
Gu Qingzhu was also completely flustered now: "This, does this mean the power of the thunder tribulation will reach the Peak of Spirit Transformation?"
Yang Pingzhi said with a solemn expression, "That's right, activate the Sect's mountain-protecting array! Be ready to support Su Yuan at any time. Remember, just let the Array Spirit control it autonomously; don't manually control it to help!"
"Understood!" Gu Qingzhu nodded. He knew that Heavenly Tribulation could not be helped manually, but the array itself was not a true living being and could provide limited assistance. However, the Heavenly Tribulation caused great harm to the Array Spirit and could even extinguish its sentience, so he had to use the Sect Leader's order to force the Array Spirit to act.
However, he immediately communicated with the Array Spirit of the mountain-protecting array and ordered, "Array Spirit, I command you to resist the Heavenly Tribulation for Elder Su Yuan when he cannot hold on!"
"Sect Leader, please place the Sect Leader's token into the Array Core!" The Array Spirit's calm voice sounded.
"You wait..."
Gu Qingzhu snorted coldly and hurried back to the Sect's main hall. However, before he could place the Sect Leader's token inside, he found that the mountain-protecting array was already activated.
"The mountain-protecting array has been activated and is on standby at all times. But I don't think it will be needed." The Array Spirit's voice sounded.
Gu Qingzhu's face darkened: "Since it can be activated without the Sect Leader's token, why do you always require me to use the token to activate it?"
The Array Spirit fell silent and did not respond to Gu Qingzhu.
Gu Qingzhu immediately realized that he had been tricked by the Array Spirit all these years. This guy's intelligence was not as low and rigid as it had shown before.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but his heart was greatly relieved. The Array Spirit's words made him understand that Su Yuan would not be in danger.
Su Yuan stood under the Heavenly Tribulation and did not feel any sense of oppression from it.
He saw that the surrounding Elders were all trying their best to resist, and he realized that the Grand Elder's Demeanor had shielded him from the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He thought to himself, how could this Heavenly Tribulation have no sense of oppression at all? If he hadn't been looking up, he would have thought someone else was Undergoing Tribulation.
However, Su Yuan suddenly had a whimsical idea.
He looked at the Grand Elder's Demeanor entry on his panel, then glanced at the Heavenly Tribulation cloud, and quietly activated this entry.
Something astonishing happened.
A faint, almost imperceptible heavenly might gradually rose from his body!
"This works too?"
Su Yuan's eyes widened as he felt the pressure on his body. It was the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation, but at this moment, it had transformed into his own pressure.
Moreover, this pressure was one level stronger than the pressure of the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation in the sky, reaching the level of a Third Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Su Yuan kept this heavenly might on his body hidden and was pondering a question: When the thunder fell, what changes would occur if he used this heavenly might to suppress it?
While he was deep in thought, the Heavenly Thunder had also finished brewing.
Under the gaze of everyone, the first extremely small bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended from the sky.
The power of this Heavenly Tribulation barely reached the threshold of the early Nascent Soul stage. Basically, any Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could resist it.
Su Yuan didn't even have the desire to resist.
When this bolt of Heavenly Thunder came near him, it came into contact with the heavenly might generated by Su Yuan's Grand Elder's Demeanor.
This bolt of Heavenly Thunder paused in place for a moment.
Su Yuan was startled. He seemed to have discovered that he could control the movement of the Heavenly Thunder?
So he subconsciously controlled the Heavenly Thunder to slightly change its trajectory.
And then, it actually succeeded!
Even operations like slowing down were easily done.
But only the command to attack him could not be broken; the Heavenly Thunder was still heading towards his body.
Su Yuan allowed the Heavenly Thunder to land on his body smoothly.
And the moment the Heavenly Thunder landed on his body, Su Yuan seemed to completely gain the qualification to control this bolt of Heavenly Thunder, controlling it to refine his body without causing damage.
And Su Yuan's Physical Body was already strong enough, so after only a few breaths, this bolt of Heavenly Thunder was completely consumed. Su Yuan's physical strength increased slightly, so slightly that Su Yuan didn't even feel it particularly.
The Cultivators outside only saw Su Yuan easily withstand the first bolt of Heavenly Thunder with his Physical Body, and even use it to refine his body. However, no one showed a particularly surprised expression, because this situation was very normal. With the ability of the Seven Stars Ancestor, withstanding the first bolt of Heavenly Thunder with his Physical Body was a matter of course.
The Heavenly Tribulation was still ongoing.
The second and third bolts of Heavenly Tribulation followed one after another.
Su Yuan was still resisting with his Physical Body. Regardless of which bolt of Heavenly Thunder it was, the moment it came into contact with his Physical Body, it was completely controlled by Su Yuan, as if it had completed its predetermined mission. The Heavenly Tribulation no longer cared about the subsequent performance of that bolt of Heavenly Thunder.
This was originally a very normal phenomenon. The Heavenly Thunder had hit its target, and relying on the power of the Heavenly Thunder itself was enough to give the tribulation-undergoer a hard time. There was no need to worry about subsequent changes.
But after the Heavenly Tribulation released control, Su Yuan's heavenly might took over the control, which caused the subsequent damage of the Heavenly Thunder to instantly turn into nothingness.
In this way, what threat did the Heavenly Tribulation have?
And his Physical Body was already strong enough, so for the subsequent Heavenly Thunder, he controlled it to enter his Sea of Consciousness, causing it to refine Su Yuan's own Nascent Soul!
After the Nascent Soul was carefully refined by the Heavenly Thunder, the entire Nascent Soul began to grow rapidly, and the entire Nascent Soul showed a tendency to transform into a Yang God.
This was originally the transformation that the Spirit Transformation's Divine Mind should undergo, and Su Yuan began it early.
Su Yuan also didn't expect such a change to occur.
The value of the Grand Elder's Demeanor entry was increasing infinitely!
Su Yuan dared to say that if anyone knew about the effect of this entry, not a single one would remain calm!
The Heavenly Thunder continued to fall. When the Heavenly Thunder reached the ninth bolt, its intensity was already extremely terrifying!
But this bolt of Heavenly Thunder, which was enough to shatter a Peak Nascent Soul, disappeared without a trace the moment it landed on Su Yuan, as if Su Yuan's body had a powerful ability to devour thunder, completely consuming it.
In reality, Su Yuan had already transferred the Heavenly Thunder to his Sea of Consciousness, turning it into a ball of thunder, waiting for Su Yuan's Nascent Soul to refine it.
Su Yuan's Nascent Soul's refining speed could not keep up with the speed at which the thunder fell, which made Su Yuan frown and ponder. There was a serious problem: when the Heavenly Tribulation was completed, and there was no Heavenly Tribulation afterwards, wouldn't his Grand Elder's Demeanor end?
At that time, the Heavenly Thunder would become violent again!
Thinking of this, he was also startled awake and quickly took out the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron.
"Old Qian, quickly devour and refine this Heavenly Thunder!" Su Yuan immediately said.
"What? Heavenly Thunder? You want me to refine it?" Old Qian said with a dumbfounded expression, "Are you trying to extinguish my sentience?"
Su Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry, this Heavenly Thunder is under my control and won't harm you!"
"How is that possible?" Old Qian rolled his eyes, then looked at the Heavenly Thunder that had floated in front of it. The violent Heavenly Thunder now appeared incredibly docile, looking as harmless as a stray cat on the side of the road.
Old Qian was stunned and said, "This is Heavenly Thunder?"
