"Oh? Which places?"
Lu Tao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
The reason he killed all the generals of the overseas army was to allow Shan Yu to devour their souls and search for such a hidden place.
King Wu's tribulation of lightning was a grand and imposing event.
If one does not seek a secluded place to undergo tribulation, it is easy to be discovered.
It doesn't really matter if Lu Tao is the only one exposed; it's most likely just overseas forces and the demon race targeting him.
However, if all the disciples of the Immortal Sect undergo the Martial King Tribulation and are exposed, it will be a huge problem.
"Master, here are the details of several hidden places."
Dan Yu divided his soul and meticulously recorded the information he had gathered on a jade slip, which he then respectfully handed over to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao took it and scanned it with his divine sense, "Purple Flame Valley, Magical Abyss, Heavenly Thunder Netherworld..."
These places all have one thing in common: they are sparsely populated.
Even if something very dramatic happens, it's difficult for outsiders to notice.
However, both come with some dangers.
"Shuang'er, Xiaoming, Xin'er, come here and make a wish!"
Lu Tao pulled He Yuanshuang and the other two over and had them pray in front of their respective statues to assess the danger level of these places.
If the required faith value is too high, it means it's quite dangerous, and you need to move to another location.
They used to do this: whenever they attacked a country's army, they would first pray. If the required faith points were low, they would decisively grant the prayer and go to kill the enemy.
If it's too dangerous, you should naturally back down.
The Nanyang Kingdom was like that not long ago.
When Lu Tao made a wish, he found that the required faith value was very high. He judged that there must be danger, so he directly sent his clone with a fireball to the scene, which resulted in attracting a powerful martial god.
Afterwards, Lu Tao's clone and the fireball self-destructed together, driving the problematic Martial God into madness.
Lu Tao had no idea what happened next.
However, out of caution, Lu Tao led the Immortal Sect disciples to cultivate in the cave for more than an hour before continuing their attack on the overseas army.
Fortunately, that war god didn't chase after them, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome.
At this moment, as He Yuanshuang and the other two prayed before the statue, Lu Tao instantly determined which place was the most suitable for undergoing the tribulation without being discovered.
Furthermore, this prayer is for all disciples of the Immortal Sect to undergo tribulations without being discovered.
Rather than Lu Tao alone.
This was because, after Lu Tao moved the Immortal Sect into his cave dwelling, he discovered that the cave dwelling's amplification, sect's amplification, loyalty amplification, and futon's amplification could all be stacked.
As a result, the cultivation speed of the Immortal Sect disciples increased sevenfold once again.
This can greatly reduce the time that the disciples spend cultivating.
It won't be long before they can cultivate to the peak of the Divine Platform.
This discovery gave Lu Tao another idea: he planned to place the Immortal Sect's main branch inside the cave to maximize its amplification, while building another branch of the Immortal Sect outside.
This is similar to the ancestral lands of certain families, which are hidden away and cannot be seen by outsiders.
I just don't know how much the increase from branching out will be.
This matter can only be addressed after the branch clan is established.
At this moment, Lu Tao had already selected the most suitable place for his tribulation – the Heavenly Thunder Netherworld!
Tianlei You is a small, secret realm located in the middle of an island group in the overseas region, far from the mainland.
Thunder often emanates from within, and ordinary cultivators dare not step inside.
Even a powerful expert at the Divine Platform level can be in danger of perishing if they are not careful.
Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Lu Tao asked He Yuanshuang to pray again, hoping that the disciples of the Immortal Sect could safely undergo their tribulations, to assess the level of risk.
In an instant, Lu Tao understood.
"The site for the tribulation has been found. All disciples, seize the time to cultivate."
Lu Tao gave an order inside the cave, instructing all disciples to cultivate, not only their inner energy, but also their physical body and soul, until they reached the pinnacle of the Divine Platform realm before undergoing tribulation.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
All the disciples of the Immortal Sect were extremely excited and continued their cultivation without stopping for a moment.
On the contrary, Lu Tao pulled He Yuanshuang into his room to enjoy some alone time together.
At this time, Lu Tao had already reached the peak of the Divine Platform, and He Yuanshuang was not far from reaching the peak of the Divine Platform as well. The two of them could naturally take a break and enjoy themselves for an hour or two each day.
Otherwise, constant cultivation would be too tedious.
that's all--
Everyone in the Immortal Sect was frantically cultivating in their caves, trying to improve their cultivation levels.
Meanwhile, Lu Tao's clone, carrying the cave dwelling, headed towards Tianlei You while continuously purchasing various cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs.
However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Tao's clones made purchases selectively.
——
Time is like ocean waves, sometimes gentle, sometimes swift.
As Lu Tao alternated between cultivation and enjoyment, his clone led the cave dwelling on and off journeys, finally entering the Heavenly Thunder Netherworld after ten days.
"This is the Heavenly Thunder Abyss?"
Lu Tao, He Yuanshuang, and Wu Ming lifted the hoods of their cloaks, stood in mid-air, and looked at the deep abyss in the center of the secret realm with strange expressions in their eyes.
The abyss was enormous, resembling a huge basin, with an entrance spanning hundreds of miles.
Inside, thick fog filled the air, and streaks of lightning, like divine dragons, roamed freely within it.
It looks exceptionally beautiful.
However, when they extended their spiritual power to the lightning dragon, it was easily defeated.
Feeling the power of the lightning, Lu Tao and the others couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
This Heavenly Thunderstorm was truly extraordinary and dangerous. Fortunately, after making a wish, he discovered that the danger was not great; otherwise, Lu Tao might not have chosen to undergo his tribulation here.
"Alright, I'm going down to undergo my tribulation first. You all stand back a bit."
Lu Tao's expression turned serious. He gave the two instructions and, seizing the right opportunity, swooped down towards Tian Lei You, descending into the depths of the abyss.
The more people involved in the tribulation, the greater the tribulation and the higher the risk.
Lu Tao and the others prepared to undergo the tribulation one by one, not daring to be impatient for quick results.
"Brother Lu (Brother Tao), be careful!"
Despite knowing that the prayer statues were always effective, He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming were still quite nervous.
That's a tribulation of lightning, a test from heaven for cultivators.
The stronger the foundation, the greater the tribulation will be.
Lu Tao not only advanced to the Marrow Refinement stage, but also ascended to the ninth level of three Divine Platforms. His comprehension and talent increased ninefold, and his divine soul was tempered nine times.
now.
In the past ten days or so, Lu Tao has cultivated his physical body, inner energy, and divine soul to the extreme at the Divine Platform Realm, with no further progress possible.
With such a solid foundation, one can imagine the magnitude of the tribulation it would face.
call--
Lu Tao used his movement technique to weave through the lightning, continuously falling deeper into the depths.
A few breaths later, Lu Tao arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly Thunder Abyss.
Here, countless bolts of lightning struck, and even with Lu Tao's powerful physique, the lightning still sent shivers of numbness through him.
It's easy to imagine how powerful these lightning bolts are.
Ordinary cultivators at the Divine Platform wouldn't dare to enter the Heavenly Thunder Abyss.
The Heavenly Thunder Cave is extremely hard underground. Having been struck by lightning for many years, it has transformed into a high-grade refining material.
However, there were no other special materials underground, which suggests that they had already been looted by overseas forces.
"Come forth, King Martial Tribulation!"
Lu Tao had already adjusted his breathing and prepared himself in the cave.
at this time.
Once underground, Lu Tao didn't linger.
He directly activated his physical cultivation techniques, internal energy cultivation techniques, and spiritual cultivation techniques together, and began to advance to the Martial King realm.
Buzz—
The moment the promotion began, a certain aura was captured by the heavens.
In an instant.
The sky, which was originally clear and covered with white clouds, suddenly cleared up, and dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by crackling sounds.
Streaks of lightning flashed and converged through the dark clouds.
"Hoo... I wonder how many lightning tribulations I will face."
Lu Tao looked up at the brewing lightning tribulation and took a deep breath.
Previously, Lu Tao had killed over a thousand Divine Platform Perfection cultivators from the demon and monster races. From their preparations for the Martial King Tribulation, Lu Tao had gained a considerable understanding of the Martial King Tribulation.
As far as he knows.
To undergo the Tribulation of the Martial King, there are at least nine tribulations, each more powerful than the last.
Those with high talent and a solid foundation will face more tribulations.
For example, eighteen, thirty-six, seventy-two, etc.
According to the records of the demon and monster races, there are eighty-one lightning tribulations in their records.
Those prodigies were all invincible among their peers, possessing immense strength and a solid foundation.
Compared to them, Lu Tao felt that he might be stronger.
Therefore.
Lu Tao was also somewhat looking forward to it.
I hope to surpass those former prodigies of the demon and monster races.
Boom—
Thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds covered an area of hundreds of miles, obscuring everything in the distance.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, piercing through the dark clouds like a pillar of heaven, and crashed down towards Tian Lei You, instantly striking Lu Tao.
Lu Tao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed, not flustered at all. He stared at the lightning until it struck his head, without even blinking.
Snap...
With a crisp sound, a tuft of Lu Tao's hair was blown up and then fell back down, leaving his hair unharmed.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth carried by the thunder also spread out from the top of his head, flowing through Lu Tao's entire body.
The Immortal Sutra: The Physical Body Chapter.
Lu Tao circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing all the primordial energy of the heavenly tribulation to further temper his physical body.
However, the first bolt of lightning is the least powerful and carries the least amount of pure energy, so it doesn't have a significant effect on tempering the physical body.
Boom...
The tribulation was brewing, and this time, three bolts of heavenly lightning struck down simultaneously on Lu Tao.
Lu Tao still did not put up any resistance.
He allowed himself to be struck by these heavenly lightning bolts, using this as an opportunity to temper his physical body and increase its strength.
that's all.
The heavenly lightning kept falling, and Lu Tao kept catching it, tempering his physical body, opening up his dantian, and refining his soul...
During the tribulation, he not only escaped injury but also used heavenly lightning to enhance his strength.
Nine, eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-six...
The more lightning bolts that fall, the greater their power becomes.
After every nine bolts of heavenly lightning strike, the power of the subsequent bolts increases several times over.
After thirty-six bolts of lightning struck, their power increased tenfold, and Lu Tao could no longer act as casually as before.
Fortunately, the lightning still did not cause him any harm.
but.
When the number of lightning strikes reached seventy-two that day, its power increased dramatically once again.
At this moment, Lu Tao finally put away his relaxed expression and his face gradually became serious, but that was all; the heavenly lightning could not harm him at all.
Boom—
The eighty-second bolt of heavenly lightning descended.
Snap!
A bolt of lightning struck Lu Tao's head, instantly turning all his hair into dust and disappearing from sight. Lu Tao was left with a shaved head.
The power of heavenly lightning was no longer increased several times, but more than ten times.
