Chapter 152 I have been like this since I was a child (4000 words, two in one)
A huge head popped out from the clouds.
This dragon is not a living creature, but is made up of blue thunder.
The dragon slowly descended.
Its claws broke through the clouds.
His body kept shuttling back and forth in the sea of clouds, and the thunderclouds seemed to half-cover the body of the Thunder Dragon.
There were streaks of lightning all around the Thunder Dragon.
"Nine-day thunder tribulation."
Such a name emerged in Xu Ming's mind.
Xu Ming once saw various introductions to thunder tribulations in a book.
A cultivator generally needs to go through five heavenly tribulations.
They are entering the Longmen Realm from the Guanhai Realm, entering the Yuanying Realm from the Jindan Realm, entering the Yupu Realm from the Yuanying Realm, entering the Xianren Realm from the Yupu Realm, and entering the Feisheng Realm from the Xianren Realm.
Depending on the different qualifications and opportunities of the cultivators, each thunder tribulation is divided into nine types.
Among them, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation is the most difficult thunder tribulation for one to enter the Longmen Realm from the Guanhai Realm.
Countless cultivators died in the nine-day thunder tribulation.
But the problem is that Xu Ming is only at the Furnace-Building Realm. Even if he breaks through to the Cave Mansion Realm, he shouldn't be able to undergo the tribulation.
“The Way of Heaven never leaves anyone without a way out. You should be thankful that your realm is only at the Furnace Building Realm, so the final test for Baiwa City is the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation that comes from entering the Dragon Gate Realm from the Sea Viewing Realm.
If your realm is higher, it might be the Nine Immortal Thunder Tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm or the Nine Lotus Heavenly Mysterious Tribulation of the Jade Pu Realm. "
"Then I have to thank God."
Xu Ming smiled.
What the Golden Toad said was indeed correct.
The higher your realm, the more difficult the thunder tribulation will be.
Being at the Furnace Building Stage, I really had some advantages.
But even so, Xu Ming knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to survive the most difficult Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation in the Sea Viewing Realm with his "mortal body" in the Furnace Building Realm.
Almost everyone below the ladder no longer had any expectations for Xu Ming.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Ming will die on this ladder.
How could a cultivator at the Furnace Building Realm face the supreme thunder tribulation of the Sea Observation Realm? ! At the same time, the reluctance in their hearts completely disappeared, and was replaced by more relief.
At the beginning, when they saw Xu Ming carrying the entire Baiwa City on his back and stepping onto the ladder to heaven, and saw Xu Ming shattering the golden bodies of four Baiwa City monsters by himself, they actually felt a little unhappy in their hearts.
This kind of unhappiness is——
Although Xu Ming seemed to be having a very difficult time, what if I could do it? So when they saw Xu Ming walking up step by step, they felt very uncomfortable and wished that Xu Ming would die on the spot.
But now, seeing the nine-day thunder tribulation, they knew that they would definitely not be able to survive it.
Xu Ming is at the Furnace Building Stage, and what awaits him is the Nine-Day Thunder Tribulation.
And if I climb up the ladder to heaven, then those of me in the Cave Residence Realm and the Sea Viewing Realm will have to endure the Nine Immortals’ Thunder Tribulation, right?
It is almost impossible to cross several realms and survive the most difficult thunder tribulation.
“Roar!”
The thunder dragon on the sea of thunder roared at Xu Ming again, dispersing the strong wind and filling the air with the tingling sensation of thunder.
Faced with the power of the Thunder Dragon, many monks a few hundred meters below could not help but tremble in their legs and almost fell to their knees.
But on the ladder, Xu Ming, who was only a few dozen meters away from Lei Long, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lei Long with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.
"Aren't you afraid, sir?" asked the golden toad.
The golden toad was also curious.
This boy, who is only sixteen years old, is mature beyond his age.
"Afraid." Xu Ming smiled and nodded, "But, will it be useful?"
The golden toad was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth: "It is indeed useless."
“Roar!”
As soon as the golden toad finished speaking, the thunder disaster arrived.
The Thunder Dragon breathed out a breath of dragon towards Xu Ming. This was the first thunder tribulation.
The blue dragon's breath was like a flame, completely covering Xu Ming.
The thunder and smoke overflowing from Xu Ming's body filled the entire sky.
Everyone swallowed subconsciously.
There are nine nine-day thunder tribulations in total.
But as things are now, let alone surviving nine thunder tribulations, if it were me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to survive the first thunder tribulation.
The thunder and smoke dissipated, and everyone gathered their spiritual power in their eyes and looked towards Xu Ming's ladder that was several hundred meters high.
Many people felt that they would not be able to see Xu Ming, and it was very likely that Xu Ming would be reduced to ashes under this first thunder tribulation.
But everyone was disappointed.
As the thunder and smoke dissipated, Xu Ming was intact except for a little bit of his body being charred.
"Still alive, still alive." Qin Qingwan clenched her fists tightly and stared at Xu Ming.
"Cough cough cough" Xu Ming coughed a few times, and smoke came out of his throat.
Xu Ming moved, and every move was accompanied by static electricity.
Even if Xu Ming was still alive, most people felt that Xu Ming was almost at the end of his rope and was already at the end of his strength.
Lei Long didn't even give Xu Ming a chance to rest.
The Thunder Dragon roared, as if shouting, "Why hasn't this ant died yet?!"
The second thunderbolt fell soon after.
The thunder around the Thunder Dragon continued to condense, and finally formed a huge pillar of lightning.
The lightning column hit Xu Ming.
Xu Ming, who was in the thunder, felt that every inch of his skin was being cut continuously, and his soul seemed to be torn to pieces.
In the past, the most painful thing Xu Ming had ever experienced was actually when Madam Wang tempered his body when he was a child.
But this second thunder tribulation alone is a hundred times more painful than that one.
After the second thunder tribulation disappeared, Xu Ming's consciousness was already a little fuzzy. Even the thought that there would be seven more thunder tribulations afterwards gave him a deep sense of despair.
Looking at the man who was on the verge of his limit, the Golden Toad also shook his head.
He admired this man very much, but unfortunately, he could not help him in any way. He could only rely on himself now, and he didn't even have the chance to give up.
The third heavenly thunder comes again.
A hole appeared in the sky of Baiwa City, and from the hole, a waterfall rushed down towards Xu Ming.
This waterfall is liquid condensed from thunder.
The moment the waterfall poured over Xu Ming, his body sank and he knelt on one knee on the stairs.
Xu Ming deeply felt that the waterfall water transformed from thunder penetrated into every pore of his body and merged into his blood.
If the first two thunder tribulations wanted to destroy oneself from the outside, then the third thunder tribulation wanted to tear oneself apart from the inside.
Xu Ming felt that his internal organs, blood vessels, and everything in his body were being torn apart by tens of thousands of ants.
Even in Xu Ming's mind, an idea came into his mind - why not just give up, as long as he died, he wouldn't be so painful "How can I die now?"
Xu Ming smiled and shook his head at the thought in his mind.
There is someone waiting for me at the bottom of this ladder.
In Wudu, my mother is waiting for me to return.
The greatest act of filial piety in the world is to see a young person die before an old one.
Xu Ming took a deep breath, and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
But this breath allowed Xu Ming to hold on a little.
Xu Ming gathered his martial arts energy.
In everyone’s eyes, behind Xu Ming, wisps of martial arts true energy continued to condense behind Xu Ming, and finally, formed a martial soul image.
As Xu Ming stood up little by little, the martial soul image behind Xu Ming also stood up.
In the waterfall transformed by thunder, Xu Ming stood up and faced the sky.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The fourth heavenly tribulation.
The fifth heavenly tribulation.
The sixth and the seventh.
Faced with impossible situations time and time again, Xu Ming managed to endure them.
With each catastrophe, they thought Xu Ming was going to die, but Xu Ming just lived like this. "Enough, really enough"
Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Ming on the ladder with hazy eyes.
Xu Ming's clothes were already charred black, and his flesh and blood were already in a state of disarray.
Xu Ming's body cracked like the dry earth. Even if a drop of blood flowed out of Xu Ming's body with difficulty, there was a faint thunder mixed in the blood.
Now Xu Ming is completely supported by his own willpower.
The eighth thunder tribulation descended, and Xu Ming once again used up his last bit of strength and activated the blood frenzy.
Blood frenzy could not repair Xu Ming's injuries. This move was more like a painkiller, which could make Xu Ming forget the pain temporarily. But the disadvantage was that even if Xu Ming could withstand the eighth thunderbolt, what about the ninth one? By the ninth thunderbolt, he would be exhausted and would not have any strength to resist.
At that time, there would be no difference between me and an ordinary person going through the thunder tribulation.
But Xu Ming knew better. If he couldn't even block the eighth thunderbolt, how could he talk about the ninth one? "Boom!"
The eighth heavenly thunder was a huge sword. The sword transformed from lightning pierced through Xu Ming's head!
Xu Ming took out the peach wood sword tremblingly, and the phantom of the peach wood sword also appeared on the heroic soul image in the heroic soul realm.
Xu Ming and Fashang raised their swords, and the tip of the Thunder Sword pressed against the blade of the Peach Wood Sword. From the point of contact, the edge of the Peach Wood Sword began to turn black and carbonized and crack.
But at this moment, gusts of wind blew, and the righteous energy slowly blessed Xu Ming's body.
"This is the merit of Confucianism!"
Yu Wenxi and Miao Feng were extremely happy!
When a talented person creates a famous work and it is used by Confucian disciples, he will accumulate Confucian merit.
This is the protection that Confucianism and Taoism provide to their own disciples.
However, what made the two curious was that Xu Ming, because he had not joined Confucianism and had not cultivated the righteousness, should not be able to connect with the Confucian virtues. Could it be that the Confucian saint who had already ascended to heaven could not stand it and helped him? The Confucian virtues protected Xu Ming, and the book-turning wind covered the thunder sword.
The huge lightning sword gradually dissipated and became invisible with the wind.
When the wind of flipping pages gradually stopped, Xu Ming vaguely saw the appearance of an old scholar above the clouds.
Xu Ming clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
At the same time, in the ancestral temple of Bailu Academy.
The girl kneeling on the ground slowly opened her eyes.
In the ancestral temple, there are statues of Confucian saints one after another, and in the front is the Confucian sage - Confucius.
"I didn't expect the Grand Master would respond to a little girl like you."
The current president of Bailu Academy stroked his beard, feeling very emotional.
The last time the sage responded to me was a thousand years ago. After that, no matter how I offered sacrifices, I could not make the ancestor appear.
But the little girl felt uneasy and thought Xu Ming was in danger, so she knelt in the ancestral temple for a stick of incense. As a result, the sage really helped her.
By the way, what happened to Xu Ming? The girl ignored the teacher's words. She still clasped her hands together and prayed to the ancestor.
In the girl's heart, the uneasiness not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.
"Xu Ming, you must be well."
The girl closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.
"roar!!!"
Perhaps because its eighth heavenly thunder was blocked by foreign objects, this thunder dragon was extremely unhappy and kept tumbling in the clouds.
Looking at the increasingly violent Thunder Dragon, Xu Ming no longer had any strength or means left.
Just now, I couldn’t even withstand the eighth thunder tribulation, but it was the Confucian sage who inexplicably helped me.
What about the ninth one? But even Xu Ming didn't have the strength to punch.
Xu Ming also stood up trembling.
Xu Ming still remembered that his former instructor had once told him that no warrior of the Wu Kingdom would ever die lying down.
“Roar!!!”
The huge thunder dragon passed through the thundercloud and hid in it. The next moment, the thunder dragon broke through the sea of clouds and rushed straight towards Xu Ming.
The ninth thunder tribulation is the thunder dragon itself.
Xu Ming raised his head and stared at the thunder dragon that was getting closer and closer, never closing his eyes.
"Goose!" Under the ladder, the Tianxuan Goose felt that Xu Ming was really going to die, so it quickly flew forward. Although the Tianxuan Goose didn't know what the point of flying up was, it wanted to stay with Xu Ming.
However, before the Tianxuan Goose was halfway through its flight, it felt its wings being pulled heavily.
"Goose?" Before the Tianxuan Goose could react, someone grabbed its wings and threw it down, and tied it up in the process.
The Tianxuan Goose watched the girl in Taoist robes fly to Xu Ming at the fastest speed.
The ladder did not stop Qin Qingwan.
Anyone can fly up, but only those who climb the ladder step by step and pass the test can get the Baiwa scroll.
But Qin Qingwan didn't want the Baiwa scroll, she just wanted to be with Xu Ming.
Xu Ming's attention is still on this thunder dragon.
Just as a series of memories flashed through Xu Ming's mind, he felt his almost numb left hand being tightly grasped by a soft and delicate presence.
Xu Ming turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
"What are you doing here? Get out!" Xu Ming scolded.
"I won't go down!" Qin Qingwan said stubbornly.
"Why are you so stubborn? You've been like this since you were a child!" Xu Ming was a little angry.
Looking into Xu Ming's eyes and listening to his words, Qin Qingwan was slightly stunned, and the girl's small hand held the charred big hand even tighter.
"Yeah~"
The girl has curved eyes and a beautiful smile.
“I’ve been like this since I was a kid~”
