Could it be that this person wants to advance to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage so that they can more safely avoid the tribulation lightning?

That won't do. This time, the power of the lightning tribulation must be increased by two levels to let her know that there is no way to dodge the lightning tribulation!

Before the lightning tribulation descended, Shi Xuan quickly took out the communication jade and sent a message to his master.

Before Lin Daozi could even feel his joy, Shi Xuan's first words were a loud cry: "Master, I'm currently in the back mountain of the Divine Cauldron Sect! I'm undergoing tribulation! Come and protect me!"

"At the Divine Cauldron Sect?!" Lin Daozi was very surprised. Before he could express his joy at his disciple's return, his attention was diverted by what his disciple said.

"Come quickly! Otherwise, this disciple will be in danger!" Shi Xuan said.

This is the territory of the Divine Cauldron Sect. She is undergoing her tribulation here. If she is struck by lightning and suffers serious injury, and the people of the Divine Cauldron Sect take advantage of the situation, then it would be a great loss.

Lin Daozi's joy turned to worry in an instant, his mind filled with the thought that his little disciple, who had finally returned, was now in danger!

He set off immediately, heading straight for the Divine Cauldron Sect.

Halfway there, the wind calmed his mind a bit, and he suddenly remembered that a few people had gone to the Divine Cauldron Sect to cause trouble in the past few days, and they should have arrived at the Divine Cauldron Sect by now.

He quickly took out his communication jade and sent a message to one of the elders.

After those people left, the people from the Divine Cauldron Sect closed the great formation again. According to the pattern of the past few years, they would withdraw after seeing the mountain-protecting formation, which would create a period of safety.

But to their utter surprise, these people actually returned this time!

Just as they closed the great formation, these people returned!

The elders of the Divine Cauldron Sect were practically spitting blood; this was just too much of a rip-off!

But the grand formation still had to be activated, so despite their reluctance, it was activated twice in one day!

The cultivators from the Lianfeng Sword Sect, on the other hand, looked completely innocent.

Why did they say they didn't come back to cause trouble? Even if they did, these people can't believe them.

Could it be that the cause of this hostile conflict is that Shi Xuan was undergoing tribulation in the back mountain of your area, and we came back to protect him?

The Lianfeng Sword Sect activated its mountain-protecting formation, waiting for the seven people in the sky to leave, but they showed no signs of leaving.

At this moment, they could just see the tribulation clouds behind the mountain, but not so close as to disturb Shi Xuan. So the people of the Divine Cauldron Sect watched as the several cultivators from the Converging Edge Sword Sect who had come this time stopped outside their sect's great formation. They simply stopped and did not make any further moves.

The problem is, they just stood there, but they didn't dare to shut down their own sect's protective formation!

A group of people glanced up every now and then, unusually persistent. Despite their eager anticipation, the people from the Lianfeng Sword Sect simply wouldn't leave!

On Shi Xuan's side, the tribulation clouds grew thicker and thicker, pressing down heavily and creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

At this moment, because the people of the Divine Cauldron Sect were all attracted to the few people in the air outside the great formation, there were not many people paying attention to those undergoing tribulation in the back mountain.

Shi Xuan had already taken out the defensive array cakes that Li Jun and Qiu Chang'an had made together and released them on the spot to form a defensive array around himself.

The first lightning bolt struck down with overwhelming force, as if venting its anger and trying to give Shi Xuan a taste of its power right from the start.

Shi Xuan fearlessly went to meet him.

She's got plenty of experience getting struck by lightning.

A thick bolt of lightning struck Shi Xuan, looking quite terrifying.

However, Shi Xuan perceived less than he seemed to.

Apart from the portion of power absorbed by the defensive array, the myriad life force firmly covered Shi Xuan's body surface, relieving Shi Xuan's pressure from all directions.

When the lightning power entered Shi Xuan's body, it was quickly decomposed by the chaotic power.

This tribulation of lightning doesn't seem so terrible.

Shi Xuan understood that her reduced pressure was closely related to her experience in the void.

The mere fusion with the dragon bone significantly strengthened her physique. Combined with her newly acquired Chaos Spiritual Root—a heaven-defying root capable of absorbing and transforming all power—her resistance to lightning tribulations became even stronger, and she even absorbed a portion of it for her own use.

Seeing this, Hong Chi arrogantly said in Shi Xuan's consciousness, "Hmph, let me show you how strong the dragon bone's resistance to lightning tribulation is! Hmph, it's just a mere human's Nascent Soul Tribulation."

Although she was arrogant, everything she said was true.

Shi Xuan sincerely replied, "Thank you very much, senior. Last time, I was also fortunate to have the dragon bone during the Nascent Soul Tribulation."

At that time, she only used the dragon bone as a magic tool, and it never had the power to be integrated into her own body!

Hong Chi responded with a cold snort.

It seems that the tribulations of the dragon race are completely incomparable to those of humans. Back when Shi Xuan was undergoing the Golden Core tribulation, he was struck by heavenly lightning and fell into a coma. Compared to this, his Nascent Soul tribulation is so easy now. It's hard not to sigh with admiration.

The lightning tribulation did not stop for long before a second lightning bolt descended.

Looking from the direction of the Divine Cauldron Sect, one could see a cluster of dark tribulation clouds pressing down on a mountain peak behind the mountain, with faint lightning flashing through the clouds, which looked quite terrifying.

The people of the Divine Cauldron Sect unanimously believed that this must be an elder undergoing tribulation.

At this moment, they could never have imagined that the culprit who triggered the five-year war of destruction was hiding under these clouds of tribulation, undergoing his tribulation.

Outside the protective array, several cultivators from the Lianfeng Sword Sect were glaring menacingly, making them dare not relax. They could only hold on and wait for those killing gods to leave.

What they didn't know was that as long as the ominous clouds over the back mountain remained, these people wouldn't leave.

In less than half a day, Shi Xuan had easily withstood thirty lightning tribulations.

Previously, she had no concept of her current ability to withstand the lightning tribulation and was very well prepared. Now that the lightning tribulation is halfway through, she only feels that she will probably not be able to use much of what she prepared.

Is this the power of the dragon bone? If everyone could obtain a set of dragon bones, there would probably be no more body cultivators in this world.

At this moment, Shi Xuan's exceptionally wide and long meridians also came into play. After a portion of the lightning power was absorbed by Shi Xuan, it flowed into her meridians, which, with their enormous capacity, could accommodate even more.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was unmoved, Jie Yun became more and more aggressive with his attacks, increasing the power exponentially, but Shi Xuan remained calm and unhurried.

Later, Shi Xuan even directly introduced the power of lightning into her meridians. Based on her past experience, the heavenly lightning used for tribulation was very beneficial for tempering the meridians.

In the past, she would never have dared to do such a thing, but this time, everything was different.

Shi Xuan's confidence was boosted by his own powerful defenses, and he dared to try his hand at taking the heavenly lightning alone.

When the power of thunder was introduced into his body, Shi Xuan felt a long-lost intense tingling sensation, and waves of fine stinging pain made him feel as if he had returned to the scene of his previous tribulation.
