Part 4: The Calamity of the Three Disasters
The season of thunder was approaching — the most opportune time to transcend the Lightning Tribulation, one of the Three Disasters. However, Li Qing was well aware that the Eight Immortals (Ba Xian) and others would investigate such a tribulation intensely. Thus, careful planning was essential.
A standard "lure the tiger from the mountain" strategy — such as sealing off Heaven — would likely fail this time. That tactic had already been used too often, and it had long since drawn suspicion. More importantly, such a seal always seemed to appear right at the onset of thunder season — the exact moment ideal for overcoming the Lightning Tribulation. Anyone with a shred of sense would see something was amiss.
Therefore, Li Qing still planned to lure the enemy away — but with a twist.
