Chapter 153

The last thunder tribulation formed by the laws of heaven shuttled through the dark clouds.

The thunder and lightning that came one after another were all concentrated on the thunder tribulation that was flying like a thunder dragon at this moment. The purple electric light wrapped around its huge body, enlarging the size of the thunder dragon again.

The Thunder Dragon was terrifyingly powerful, and its pair of purple dragon eyes flashed with lightning, as if they could penetrate Ji Tang's body and directly shatter her soul!

The Thunder Dragon brought with it an earth-shattering pressure, and wherever it covered, all living creatures fell to the ground and trembled.

It let out a dragon's roar, and then a "crackling" sound of electricity was heard, which was very similar to the sound of metal colliding and rubbing violently. It was sharp and piercing, penetrating the eardrum and making Ji Tang a little distracted.

She controlled the nightmare energy to protect her ears and looked up at the thunder dragon swimming downwards.

The mountain protection formation was shaken by this terrifying energy and began to shake violently for a moment.

Even if the ascension thunder tribulation only targets Ji Tang, it can still have an impact on the mountain protection formation, not to mention Ji Tang himself.

She carried the fierce energy of Dragon Roar and was forced to take several steps back. Her feet left two deep footprints in the soft soil of the spiritual plant nursery, which dragged backwards and extended nearly three feet.

The Thunder Dragon swooped down with lightning speed.

The eighty-first thunder tribulation has finally arrived!

As the thunderstorm descended, the stacked energy shields were broken one by one.

Every time a protective shield was broken, the magic weapon floating around Ji Tang would shatter and then fall to the ground, becoming waste.

Until the magic weapon completely lost its luster and fell into the mud, and the nightmare shield was broken by the power of thunder and lightning, the 81st thunder tribulation finally fell on Ji Tang.

Jitang has already taken several kinds of pills with different effects. The power of his soul fills his sea of consciousness, supporting each other.

She pushed the Thunder Hua Body Tempering Technique to its limits, shielding it from her skin like an indestructible armor. Simultaneously, the Nightmare Soul Pill spun rapidly within her dantian, unleashing a powerful wave of Nightmare Qi.

She has to withstand this final blow with her body and strength!

The last thunderbolt hit Jitang.

The air suddenly twisted, and Ji Tang's body seemed to be twisted and deformed by the violent impact of thunder and lightning.

Along with the thunder catastrophe, there were also countless purple lightning bolts descending from the sky. They were like chains, sewing the sky and the earth together, forming a thunder prison between heaven and earth, and also imprisoning Ji Tang inside.

Even with the protection of the Lei Hua Body Tempering Technique, the lightning still burned Ji Tang's skin in an instant. Every pore of hers felt like being pierced by hot needles. Her senses gradually became numb after the severe pain, and her hands, which were holding the technique, began to tremble and twitch uncontrollably.

She breathed hard and could hardly see the thunder dragon in front of her.

The sleeve slid down her raised arm, and the exposed skin was already covered with tree-like scorch marks. The tips of the branches still had a faint orange glow from the fire, while the other branches were already charred and deeply engraved into her flesh.

The power of the last thunder tribulation was indeed terrifying. She resisted the force of the thunder with her own strength. A big pit had already been blasted out around her by the thunder, and half of her body was almost pressed into the pit.

She held on to the end, relying solely on her unwavering belief.

I don’t know how long it took, but the dark clouds dispersed and a beam of light came down from the sky.

Ji Tang's cloudy eyes closed slightly, and when he opened them again, a glimmer of light appeared.

The energy from the last thunder tribulation was being absorbed by her body. She had never felt so refreshed before. It was like being wrapped in a soft and warm shell. The shocking scars on her body were healing rapidly, and she was feeling drowsy.

As she was feeling this wonderful sensation, she suddenly saw a bridge gradually appear in the light from the sky.

Yingxian Bridge.

Its name immediately appeared in Jitang's mind.

As soon as the Yingxian Bridge appeared, the fairy energy spread out in a mighty manner, and the fairy energy spread into the spiritual energy that was already abundant in the Qianli Yanbo, making it even more like a fairyland.

In the golden sky of the setting sun, Yingxian Bridge is like flowing platinum silk. The floating clouds beside the bridge are hazy with golden light. From time to time, the shadows of cranes fly by, and their white feathers fall down, turning into fluorescent stars, which is like a dream.

This is the scene that those who practice Taoism dream of: climbing the immortal bridge and becoming an immortal.

How many people never reach this point in their entire life, and regard it as an unattainable dream.

Now it is right in front of Jitang, appearing for Jitang and welcoming her to the fairyland.

*

The mountain protection formation was shaking because of the ascension thunder tribulation. After the shaking, there was a brief calm. Soon, everyone felt the strange energy in the spiritual energy.

This energy is completely different from spiritual energy. When it appeared, everyone almost immediately noticed it - fairy energy!

The immortal aura swirled around, brushing past everyone and lingering around.

They only absorbed a little tentatively, and they felt the immortal energy become clear and cleansed of the turbid air. In a short while, they discovered that their cultivation had improved!

The black-robed lord looked towards the source of the spiritual energy.

"Jitang has successfully transcended the tribulation," he observed Su Jinzhou with considerable interest, not wanting to miss any of his expressions. "Such a clear immortal aura must be the appearance of the Welcoming Immortal Bridge. The Welcoming Immortal Bridge's allure to cultivators is no less than immortality. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll get the next one."

He asked, "Do you think Jitang will take the Yingxian Bridge and ascend to become an immortal, or will he give up this bright future and be with you?"

Blood flowed from Su Jinzhou's lips, and he said nothing.

*

Yingxian Bridge is very close to Jitang. As long as she uses her nightmare energy, she can fly onto the bridge.

Enter the fairyland and become one of the immortals.

However, she withdrew her gaze from Yingxian Bridge, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and turned over from the pit.

The scattered immortal energy was most concentrated where Ji Tang was. She continuously absorbed the immortal energy like a sponge, storing this precious energy into her sea of consciousness.

These immortal energies are rare and can be used to repair my senior brother’s original spirit.

She guided the immortal energy in the sea of consciousness into the Nightmare Card, and then she wrapped the Nightmare Card with the power of her soul, so that the immortal energy would not overflow to other places in the sea of consciousness. Then the senior brother could use it directly to repair the soul body, and it would definitely be restored to its original state.

After a stick of incense, the immortal energy emitted by Yingxian Bridge was almost gone, and the thousands of miles of smoke and waves no longer contained immortal energy, and this was even more so in the farther places.

Yingxian Bridge alternated between real and fake, and it looked like it would disappear soon.

Jitang wanted to absorb the last bit of immortal energy from Yingxian Bridge, but found that he couldn't absorb it at all.

She estimated that the immortal energy she absorbed was enough for Su Jinzhou to replenish his original spirit, so she did not delay any longer and called out Ji Yao as she walked, intending to help her senior brother.

As a result, just as she was about to draw her sword, her body was suddenly pulled backwards by a huge energy, directly pulling her to the Yingxian Bridge which was about to disappear.

She was stunned for a moment, and her back was pressed straight towards Yingxian Bridge. She struggled hard to break free and said she didn't want to get close to Yingxian Bridge at all.

But the force pulling her was too strong, and she couldn't get away at all. She soon reached the first step of Yingxian Bridge.

Only then did the force pulling her loosen.

Ji Tang thought she was going to be thrown down, but the next second she found that although the force pulling her had relaxed, it had not been completely withdrawn. She was put down steadily and gently, and when the force left her, it gently stroked her cheek.

Ji Tang leaned on the steps and looked up in a daze. When she saw the two people above her clearly, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks!

"Father, Mother..." Her lips moved in a low voice, fearing that what she saw was just an illusion.

Ji Yulan and Wen Jihuai walked quickly down the Yingxian Bridge, which was about to disappear. Halfway down, they were blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward.

Ji Tang stood up from the stairs in a hurry, but was tripped by her dress again. She rolled and crawled up the stairs. She quickly approached her parents, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Atang!" Wen Jihuai felt so distressed when he saw Jitang's face covered with tears. Tears welled up in his eyes, and the mother and daughter burst into tears in an instant.

There was already red in Ji Yulan's eyes, but he was more forbearing, suppressing all his emotions under a calm appearance.

He hugged Wen Jihuai, and both of them squatted down to get closer to Jitang.

Ji Tang's vision blurred. She wiped away her tears hastily, looked carefully, and said timidly, "Is this true?"

Wen Jihuai placed his hand on the transparent barrier, "It's true! Atang, after thousands of years, Mother finally got to see you! We used the Yingxian Bridge to get to the entrance to the underworld, so we finally had the chance to meet you!"

She looked at her carefully, inch by inch, with a soft gaze, and asked softly, "Atang, are you okay?"

Ji Tang hurriedly put his hand on the barrier, close to Wen Jihuai's hand.

"Mother, I have long since recovered my soul and traveled all over the Nine Provinces. Now I can even survive eighty-one thunder tribulations. I can ascend to become an immortal if I want. You don't have to worry about me. I can protect myself and I'm doing well!"

She missed them all the time, and now that they finally met, she was too homesick to express her longing.

Ji Yulan was very pleased, but time was limited, so he could only pick out the important things to say: "The immortal aura of Yingxian Bridge is almost disappearing, but you still haven't climbed the bridge. Is there something you haven't completed yet?"

Ji Tang explained the situation in a few words. She kept it simple, skipping over many things that would worry parents. She simply said, "We are going to expel the Black Lord from the cultivation world. When everything is settled, I will come to find you!"

Wen Jihuai's emotions were a little calmer now. She really wanted to kiss Jitang, but the barrier between them did not allow her to do so.

She said, "The black-robed lord you're talking about is named Qiu Zuoyou. Back then, your father and I were deeply involved with him because of the poisoning of Wuxun. At that time, he was already a celestial being, and he also came down to the mortal world as a clone."

The Yingxian Bridge swayed slightly, and Wen Jihuai spoke faster, "At that time, our cultivation had not yet reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and he forcibly brought us into the Immortal Realm. He wanted to know a lot about the lower realms, and he wanted to use us as a breakthrough point to pit the Nightmare Clan against the sects and palaces. He even dragged in the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Monster Clan, hoping to muddy the waters completely."

Ji Tang had no time to care about Qiu Zuoyou's conspiracy. She asked anxiously, "Are you injured? Are you locked up by him?"

Although Yingxian Bridge was in turmoil, Ji Yulan remained calm. "In the beginning, yes, but we have long since escaped his control and have joined the ranks of immortals."

Ji Tang knew that the two of them were facing many dangers in the fairy world and must have suffered a lot, but they didn't mention it because they were afraid that she would worry.

"Your mother and I have thought of many ways to use our clones to enter the lower realm. However, because we have already entered the immortal class before surviving the ascension thunder tribulation, it is not in accordance with the rules of the heavenly way. Therefore, if we use our clones to enter the lower realm, the heavenly way will notice and stop us. If you had not survived the ascension thunder tribulation, we would not be able to meet you through the Welcoming Immortal Bridge."

Wen Jihuai: "But as long as our realm is elevated to the next level, we can break through the limitations of the Heavenly Dao and strive to stay in the lower world for a period of time with our clones. Once our clones have survived the ascension thunder tribulation from the cultivation world, we will be able to be like other immortals."

She said, "By then, even if my clone will still be restricted by the laws of nature, it won't be as restricted as it is now."

Ji Tang frowned. She had just survived the Ascension Thunder Tribulation and naturally knew how powerful it was. "Using a clone to survive the tribulation? That's too dangerous! Father, Mother, I will wait for you in the cultivation world. When your clones descend to the mortal world, my senior brother and I will protect you and make sure you survive the tribulation safely!"

Wen Jihuai smiled and said, "As for you, your father and I are definitely fine, but you and Jinzhou shouldn't bother with it. What parent would put their child in danger?"

Ji Tang wrinkled his nose. "My brother and I are very powerful. No one in the entire lower realm can defeat us. Even if the black lord sent his clone to the lower realm, he would not be able to gain any advantage here!"

Wen Jihuai said softly, "Yes, yes, Atang has long been able to stand on his own. We naturally know that. You don't have to worry. When your father and I return to the lower realm, we will definitely come to look for you first."

She can't wait to hug Jitang and keep her darling by her side every day...and this day will not be too far away.

Ji Tang nodded repeatedly. Thinking about being reunited with her parents in the near future, her heart felt warm and her eyes became sore.

This time she finally doesn't have to search for him in long-term longing, but can meet him in reality!

The last bit of fairy spirit of Yingxian Bridge is about to dissipate.

Wen Jihuai hurriedly instructed her, and Ji Yulan also added that the two of them still treated her like a child and were very worried about her.

Ji Tang kept responding, saying in a delicate voice, "Don't worry, when your clones come to the lower realm, you will know how well I am living now!"

The two of them then smiled and nodded.

The Yingxian Bridge disappeared, and Wen Jihuai and Ji Yulan also returned to the fairyland.

Ji Tang flew in mid-air on a sword. She simply used the Water Purification Technique to wash away the remaining tears on her face. She had no time to care about her torn clothes and flew straight towards the mountain protection formation.
