Patriarch Lu laughed. The last time he and Lang Xiong destroyed the Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect, although Lang Xiong did not say any words of thanks, he supported him with practical actions at this time.
Although the Senluo Sect has a deep foundation, it doesn't make much difference whether it has the support of Lang Xiong or not, but this represents a further improvement in the relationship between the Senluo Sect and the Spirit Beast Clan, which is extremely beneficial to the sect.
The Ten Thousand Mountains belong to both the Senluo Sect and the spiritual beast clan within it. This coexistence relationship became particularly important after the Senluo Sect completely occupied the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The terrifying calamity clouds in the sky were still brewing, and Li Yuanba didn't know how long it would take. The energy currently accumulated alone made him feel terrified.
Just as he was thinking about it, all the hairs on his body stood up, and the great physical strength in his body burst out, and his body completely turned into jade.
This is his body's instinctive self-protection when it senses unimaginable danger.
Patriarch Lu looked at Li Yuanba in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Yuanba had reached such strength in body refining.
The previous Li Yuanba had already surprised him. He was joking about whether Li Yuanba was going to choose the path of body refining. However, he did not expect that Li Yuanba's body refining had already reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core, and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul level.
"Don't be nervous!" Patriarch Lu said calmly.
As he spoke, a thick bolt of lightning gathered in the calamity clouds and fell towards Elder Jian on the top of the mountain.
"Sword come!" Elder Jian looked at the thunder in the sky, laughed and waved his hands and shouted.
The natal flying sword suddenly grew larger and turned into a giant sword.
Elder Jian had no defense. He swung his giant sword and attacked the thunder in the sky.
The thunder from the sky struck the giant sword, and the giant sword let out a wail and fell from the sky. The thunder from the sky then struck his body.
His body, which was standing on the top of the mountain, was chopped away fiercely, leaving a big hole on the ground.
"Master!" Li Yuanba exclaimed.
“Watch!” Patriarch Lu put one hand on Li Yuanba’s body, making Li Yuanba unable to move. His body refining ability at the level of a great elder was still as weak as a baby in front of Patriarch Lu.
Elder Jian was struck by a bolt of lightning, his innate flying sword was damaged, and he was struck flying, seemingly failing to survive the calamity.
But the calamity clouds in the sky did not dissipate, but were still accumulating thunder and lightning.
After a few breaths, Elder Jian slowly flew out of the pit. His robe was torn, his hair was partially burnt, and his face was covered in dust.
Although he looked extremely embarrassed, his eyes were still full of light.
Even though he was struck by the thunder and his natal flying sword was damaged, he was still a sword cultivator and he himself was a sword.
He waved at the fallen natal flying sword, and it flew up from the ground and flew in front of him in an unstable manner.
He slapped his chest and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto his natal flying sword.
The natal flying sword was nourished by the essence and blood, and seemed to have instantly recovered to its state before it was damaged.
Li Yuanba knew clearly that this was a secret method in the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" that forcibly used essence and blood to replenish the flying sword. This could only allow the flying sword to be used for a short period of time and was not a true repair.
"Sword come!" Elder Sword shouted. He did not retreat at all because of the first time he was struck by thunder. Instead, he became more eager to fight.
The natal flying sword did not grow bigger this time, but the sword power on it became even more powerful.
Once again, a bolt of lightning was born from the thunderclouds, and this time it seemed to be even stronger.
The thunder from the sky pierced through the clouds and fell towards Elder Jian. The sky and the earth were flashed silver by the white light of the thunder.
The natal flying sword moved forward with an unstoppable momentum, just like the first time, without any defense, and completely relied on the offensive to fight against the heavenly thunder.
The natal flying sword collided with the heavenly thunder. This time, the natal flying sword did not even make a wail, and was knocked away as if it had lost its spirituality.
The residual power of the heavenly thunder struck Elder Jian downwards. Heavenly thunder was impossible to dodge, and Elder Jian was struck flying again.
Li Yuanba became even more worried. He didn't dare to use his divine sense as it would affect Elder Jian's tribulation.
You must know that without the intervention of others, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is the business of Elder Jian alone. If someone interferes with the Nascent Soul Tribulation, then the power of the tribulation will be enhanced to a strength similar to that of a human.
This is also the reason why monks who are going through tribulation must have powerful monks guarding them. Monks who are going through tribulation are not only vulnerable, but if there are monks who want to die together, they will definitely drag the monks who are going through tribulation into hell.
The Nascent Soul Tribulation is difficult to survive already, not to mention being under a power that is multiple times as powerful, it would be a sure death.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths, until the sixth breath, Elder Jian finally staggered out of the pit.
Yes, he crawled out, with multiple injuries on his body. His robe was completely destroyed, his entire body was exposed, and the injuries could be clearly seen.
There was a large charred hole on his shoulder, through which one could see the other side behind him.
There was a piece of his leg missing, but no blood flowed out because the broken part of his leg was burned into black charcoal by the thunder.
Elder Jian was in a miserable condition, but his aura did not weaken, instead it became stronger and stronger.
There was a blaze of fighting spirit in his eyes. At this moment, he could no longer control his own flying sword, but he had no intention of retreating.
"Sword come!" He shouted again.
The Nascent Soul in his body left his body and transformed into an illusory giant sword, standing above his head to fight against the calamity clouds in the sky.
He is trying his best. The Nascent Soul is not like other things. Once it is damaged, it will perish completely.
There was a flash of admiration in Patriarch Lu's eyes. Among the countless talented people who encountered the Nascent Soul Tribulation, only a few could become more courageous than Elder Jian.
If a monk wants to fight against the heaven, he must risk his life.
If you only look ahead and behind, you will not be able to exert your full strength and failure is inevitable.
Every cultivator who has transcended the tribulation understands this principle, but it is not easy to truly put it into practice.
"The sword intent soars into the sky!" This time Elder Jian did not wait for the thunder to fall. He laughed wildly, and the giant sword transformed from his Nascent Soul carried him towards the thundercloud.
His aura was growing stronger as it continued to rise, his sword intent was becoming more and more concentrated on the giant sword, and it even felt like the space in front of him was about to be broken by the giant sword.
Li Yuanba's eyes flashed, he saw the peak application of the Golden Elixir Chapter of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky'.
He was unable to display such a powerful move, which required the sharpening of sword intent and the ultimate coordination of spirit and sword intent. He was still far from achieving these goals.
At this time, the thundercloud seemed to feel the provocation, and the lightning in the thundercloud quickly gathered, and another bolt of lightning came from the thundercloud and struck Elder Sword who was rushing towards the sky.
With a loud bang, the thunder struck Elder Jian, and the entire sky turned white.
The white was so blinding that the monks could not even look directly at it.
Apart from Ancestor Lu, the Nascent Soul Patriarch, only Li Yuanba, who used the 'Divine Eyes', could see what was happening in the sky.
At that moment, the thunder from the sky struck the giant sword transformed from the Nascent Soul. The giant sword separated from the main body layer by layer, and the sword body became smaller and smaller.
Just when the giant sword transformed from the Nascent Soul was about to be destroyed by the heavenly thunder, Elder Sword grabbed the hilt with both hands, and he became one with the giant sword at the last moment.
Either he and the giant sword transformed from his Nascent Soul would be destroyed by the heavenly thunder, or he would survive the thunder. There was no other choice.
Li Yuanba saw that Elder Jian’s body was half destroyed and he fell heavily to the ground.
The calamity clouds in the sky also dissipated when the last bolt of thunder struck, leaving no trace at all.
Li Yuanba felt that the pressure from Patriarch Lu was gone, and he flew towards the place where Elder Jian fell.
"Master, how are you?" He caught Elder Jian's body as he fell to the ground, and called out helplessly.
In his perception, Elder Jian's breath was extremely weak, and his life force seemed to be there and not there.
"Silly boy, you should be happy!" Old Ancestor Lu appeared beside him and said with a smile.
Li Yuanba didn't understand, but he soon found out why.
The sword elder he held in his hand had his Nascent Soul aura reappearing in his body, and the injuries on his body were recovering at an extremely strange speed.
The missing half of his body and all the large and small wounds on his body were completely healed in more than ten breaths.
You have to know that no matter whether Elder Jian is in the Golden Core Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, even with the best healing elixir, he cannot recover so quickly from such an injury.
There is only one possibility, that is, Elder Jian has passed the test of heaven and earth, he has survived the Nascent Soul Tribulation, and received the reward from heaven and earth.
Elder Jian's body flew up from Li Yuanba's hands and fell to the ground nearby.
"Greetings, Master!" Elder Jian opened his eyes and bowed to Elder Lu.
"You have finally become a Nascent Soul cultivator!" Patriarch Lu said with satisfaction.
When he first met Elder Jian, he knew that Elder Jian would be able to achieve the Nascent Soul stage one day.
Elder Jian has the inheritance of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion', which surpasses any other major sect in the Northern Shu Continent in terms of inheritance.
Elder Jian’s talent was even more astonishing. He almost dominated an entire era during his Jindan period.
"Thank you Master for everything you have done for me!" Elder Jian said with a smile.
He turned his gaze to Li Yuanba again, his eyes full of admiration.
"Yuan Ba, your growth rate has exceeded my expectations. Your talent surpasses mine!" Elder Jian said with the same pleased expression as Elder Lu.
"Indeed, he is much stronger than you were back then!" said Patriarch Lu with a laugh.
"I gave him too little guidance. I was an irresponsible master!" Elder Jian shook his head and laughed.
He went into seclusion and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage when Li Yuanba was still in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although he explained the Foundation Establishment chapter of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' to Li Yuanba clearly before the seclusion, he did not expect that in just a few years, Li Yuanba had grown to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
"Then you should stay in the sect for a few more years and guide Yuanba's training!" Patriarch Lu advised.
He did not want Elder Jian to leave the sect and the Northern Shu Continent too early, but he had already promised Elder Jian that he would not stop Elder Jian from returning to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
He is very satisfied with the current situation.
Elder Jian became a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the successor that Elder Jian found, Li Yuanba, was even more talented than Elder Jian. He has now become a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and has even reached the level of a great elder in terms of body refining.
If nothing unexpected happens, Li Yuanba has a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. What is there for Elder Jian to be dissatisfied about?
"Master, I will try to stay for a few more years. I have waited for so many years, so I don't mind waiting a few more years!" Elder Jian said with a smile, without any intention of refuting Ancestor Lu.
"You should take a rest first and get familiar with the Nascent Soul stage. By the way, your disciple has refined Wanjian Peak into a magic weapon. I have arranged your cave for you. It is on the mountain next to Sansheng Peak. You can name it yourself!" When Patriarch Lu heard him say this, he said in a very good mood.
When Li Yuanba heard Patriarch Lu mention Wanjian Peak, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Wanjian Peak was originally reserved for Yuanba. His path of sword cultivation does not have to be the same as mine. His talent exceeds mine, and I will not restrict his growth too much!" Elder Jian looked at Li Yuanba and replied with satisfaction.
He bowed to Ancestor Lu, waved to Li Yuanba, and took Li Yuanba away from the mountain.
"Congratulations to Jian Wuwei for his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. Our sect now has one more Nascent Soul cultivator!" The voice of Patriarch Lu rang out at the mountain gate of Senluo Sect.
When the monks in the mountain gate heard the news, they showed different expressions.
Those cultivators who had no grudges against Elder Jian were all excited. Elder Jian's age was not too old compared to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He could live for at least another 600 years and protect the sect for 600 years.
The monks who had grudges with Elder Jian were not in a very good mood. They just hoped that Elder Jian would not hold grudges against them.
There are even a small number of cultivators who are jealous and wonder why Elder Jian was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. This is so unfair.
Most of the cultivators were not surprised at Elder Jian's successful promotion. Elder Jian was the cultivator with the greatest hope of becoming a Nascent Soul ancestor in all these years.
Regardless of the reactions of the monks in the mountain gate, Elder Jian’s advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is a major event for the Senluo Sect.
Li Yuanba followed behind his master Elder Jian. At this time, Elder Jian could no longer be called an elder. After he achieved the Nascent Soul stage, he was called the ancestor.
However, since Ancestor Jian was Li Yuanba's master, Li Yuanba did not need to call him that.
"Come and worship the ancestor with me!" Patriarch Jian did not take too long to check the mountains arranged by the sect. After entering the cave, he took out a painting and hung it on the main wall of the hall, and instructed Li Yuanba.
This painting is the one that Li Yuanba worshipped when he first entered the sect. It depicts a sword in the clouds reaching the Chongxiao Pavilion. It is a treasure.
Li Yuanba knelt behind the Sword Patriarch and respectfully bowed to the scroll of Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky.
Patriarch Jian was murmuring softly, as if he was telling something. Li Yuanba accompanied him quietly without disturbing him.
Li Yuanba knew that Ancestor Jian had always wanted to return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. Ancestor Jian had deep feelings for Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. Now that he had become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he naturally had to tell the ancestor.
