Upon hearing Hydra's description of the players' strength, the Mole King rolled his eyes. Although they were his allies, their growth in strength was terrifying.
He felt that if he didn't see Hydra for a while, the next time he saw him, Hydra might already be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
If it weren't for the mole king's good mentality, he probably would have coughed up a mouthful of blood.
You should know that the Earth Rat King cultivated for hundreds of years before finally advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Your faction is truly despicable.
After taking several deep breaths, the Mole King finally adjusted his mindset and gave the Hydra a lesson on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
He now understands that while his allies are powerful, they have extremely weak basic knowledge.
Aside from being good at fighting, he's no good at anything else.
Unlike other cultivators who develop in all aspects, such as fighting, crafting weapons, drawing talismans, and refining pills, players can only fight.
"There are two ways to advance from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. The first way is to cultivate naturally, break through the bottleneck, and survive the tribulation of lightning, which leads to the Nascent Soul stage."
"The second option is to take the Nascent Soul Pill. However, the chance of breaking through the bottleneck with the Nascent Soul Pill is not high, only about 30%. In other words, if you take this pill, only three out of ten people will survive. Moreover, the subsequent tribulation lightning is terrifying. Even if you survive after taking the pill, you may still be struck dead by the tribulation lightning."
"However, the formula for the Nascent Soul Pill is extremely rare, and only large sects possess it. Medium-sized sects like the Hua Nong Sect do not have it."
The Groundhog King explained in great detail that in the cultivation world today, there are almost only these two methods to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, there are other methods like initiation, but these are not very practical.
Do you need the enemy to give you a blessing?
You should know that receiving the initiation ceremony can come at the cost of one's life.
"What exactly is this lightning tribulation? What's the principle behind it?" After listening to the Earth Rat King's explanation, Hydra realized that anyone who advances in their cultivation will inevitably encounter a lightning tribulation. What's the principle behind it?
Do cultivators deserve to be struck by lightning?
"The prevailing belief in the cultivation world today is that when the Heavenly Dao senses a cultivator's advancement, it will send down a heavenly tribulation as a test. Passing the tribulation will greatly strengthen the cultivator's physical body and make up for their weaknesses. If they fail to pass it, they will die under the heavenly tribulation."
"Simply put, if you can't survive the tribulation of lightning, you're not qualified to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. This tribulation of lightning is what cultivators fear most. Nine out of ten cultivators who advance die from the tribulation of lightning. This statement is not an exaggeration at all."
The Mole King was talking animatedly when Hydra suddenly stretched out his right hand, signaling him to stop.
"Wait, say it again, who sent down this tribulation lightning?"
Hydra's question left the Rat King completely bewildered. "Yes, it was sent down by the Heavenly Dao. The so-called tribulation is not the thunder in the weather, but thunder that strikes down from another dimension. That's what makes it a tribulation."
After going around in circles, we've finally arrived at our own boss's place.
Upon hearing that it was a tribulation lightning released by the Heavenly Dao, the Hydra almost burst out laughing.
However, we still need to try it out first.
"Hmm... Well then, I'll notify Zero of the promotion." Hydra muttered to himself, then walked out without looking back.
"Hey! Didn't you hear what I just said? There's a tribulation of lightning! And an advancement! You need to be fully prepared! Hey! Hey!"
The Mole King, fearing he hadn't understood what he meant by the Hydra, quickly followed.
"Hey, are you even hearing me? You have to be careful when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!"
The Mole King followed Hydra around like a doting mother, nagging incessantly. Hydra ignored the Mole King, and seeing the white cat nearby, he quickly signaled for him to bring Number Zero.
White Cat is one of the fastest players, and Zero, who was eating at Sancha, was quickly dragged over.
"What's the rush?!" Zero glared at Hydra with obvious displeasure. Sancha had developed a new dark cuisine: stewed pig's head, and the ingredients were even pig demon meat!
Super delicious! Super fragrant!
Aside from causing blood loss after eating it, there are no other problems.
Blocking someone's way of eating is incredibly unethical!
"I'll have Sancha make it for you separately later!" Hydra waved his hand, interrupting Zero's complaint. "You're ready to advance to the Nascent Soul stage now!"
"Promotion? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't promote me first, but wanted to figure out the tribulation first? Now you're changing your mind again, are you even a woman?"
Zero rolled his eyes at Hydra, annoyed. "Changing orders every day, are they trying to cause trouble?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, big brother, no, big sister, can you just get promoted right now?!"
The hydra bowed repeatedly, indicating that it was its fault.
What's the point of reasoning with a woman?
Anyway, it's your fault.
"No, did you misunderstand what I said, or did you smash it? Don't promote her so easily! At least give her something to protect her from lightning strikes, like the lightning-proof front tooth she had before!"
The groundhog king was stamping his feet in frustration. Why wouldn't these people listen to him?
Oh right, I'm not human! I'm a gopher!
"Don't worry, King Mole, I'm confident!"
Hydra impatiently shook off the Mole King's hand. Anyway, the player can revive, so what's there to be afraid of?
After three people chattered and wrapped their tendons for a long time, and Hydra made a series of conditions, Zero finally put the Nascent Soul Pill from the photographer into his mouth.
Zero didn't just advance to the Nascent Soul stage, he went straight to the late Nascent Soul stage!
After the promotion, he will be even more powerful than the Mole King!
Logically speaking, Zero's tribulation lightning should be very powerful!
After taking the Nascent Soul Pill, Zero automatically entered a meditative state and could no longer be controlled.
In the words of the players, it's like going through a cutscene.
Zero's aura rose steadily, and the sky gradually darkened.
The dark clouds began to gather around Zero.
Dark, heavy clouds blocked out the sunlight, obscuring the blue sky as far as Hydra could see.
"It's here! These are tribulation clouds!!! I've never seen such massive tribulation clouds before!"
The Earth Rat King looked up at the sky, showing none of the demeanor of a Nascent Soul stage expert!
Upon seeing the tribulation clouds, the Earth Rat King began to tremble, apparently due to the painful psychological trauma he had suffered during his previous tribulation.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and Hydra and the others distanced themselves from Zero, who was sitting cross-legged.
According to the Mole King, if you get too close, you might be pulled into the lightning tribulation, and the power of the lightning tribulation will increase exponentially.
There's a saying in the cultivation world: "If you team up to undergo tribulation, your soul will be annihilated."
That means you shouldn't go through tribulations together; you're not Song Shuhang.
The pressure emanating from Zero rose steadily, quickly surpassing the Nascent Soul stage, Nascent Soul stage, mid-Nascent Soul stage, and finally late-Nascent Soul stage!
Even the Gopher King was dumbfounded!
