As for the bottleneck?
It simply didn't exist for Ruan Tang, and neither the Golden Core Tribulation nor the Nascent Soul Tribulation came.
Situations where heavenly tribulations 'disappear' are actually not uncommon.
For example, Xu Yiyi's thirteen-colored tribulation during her Golden Core stage was driven away by Xu Lai with a shout, planning to accumulate it for the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Although the power would double, once successfully passed, the Heavenly Dao Laws would compensate the tribulation passer more significantly; the risks and rewards are proportional.
Of course.
Ruan Tang didn't understand cultivation well and wasn't too troubled by the absence of a heavenly tribulation.
"Mama, has Daddy bullied you lately?"
Xu Yiyi blinked her big watery eyes and seriously said, "If he did, I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Ruan Tang chuckled, "How could he bully me?"
