"Thank you!" Su Xue said thank you and then sat cross-legged in front of the pile of spirit stones.
Soon, Liu Xiaoyuan felt the spiritual energy from the pile of spirit stones rushing into Su Xue's body. Su Xue's body was like a vacuum, with spiritual energy being continuously drawn into her body.
Wow! This works too? Aren't you afraid your body will explode from being filled with spiritual energy?
As spiritual energy continuously flowed into Su Xue's body, it was as if a strong wind was blowing around her, causing her beautiful hair to fly wildly.
As the spiritual energy was absorbed into Su Xue's body, the pile of spirit stones gradually dimmed and became dull.
This is because the spirit stone has lost its spiritual energy. Once the spirit stone loses its spiritual energy, it becomes just an ordinary stone, and may even turn into a pile of ashes and disappear into the world.
As spiritual energy surged in, a vortex appeared in Su Xue's dantian. This vortex was like a bottomless pit, constantly spinning and absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world.
After the spiritual energy was drawn into the vortex, it gradually began to form a bead behind the dantian. This bead was initially very small, about the size of a peanut.
However, as more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, the small bead gradually grew larger, and its color became white, almost transparent.
When the bead grew to the size of a ping-pong ball, it stopped growing, and its color began to change.
Gradually, the color of the bead deepened, and it was no longer transparent.
Just then, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. First, thunder rumbled outside, as if it were the prelude to an approaching storm.
Inside the cave, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Su Yu, "You stay here and watch over your sister. I'm going out to check on her!"
Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay, be careful!"
Liu Xiaoyuan arrived outside the cave and easily leaped to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge dark cloud seemed to be about to fall, making people feel very depressed.
Within this dark cloud, thunder rumbled loudly, and more importantly, a strong wind suddenly swept through the area, causing the small trees and bushes on the mountain to sway back and forth like rootless duckweed in water, as if they could be blown away at any moment.
Looking at the scene before him, Liu Xiaoyuan really didn't know if it was going to rain or if it was a strange phenomenon caused by Su Xue's advancement to the Golden Core Dao.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan soon discovered that this was not a sign that the sky was about to fall, but rather an unusual phenomenon caused by Su Xue's advancement to the Golden Core stage.
Because the sky in the distance was still clear, with a bright moon and few stars!
The thunder in the dark clouds grew increasingly muffled, and the wind grew stronger. Standing on the mountaintop, Liu Xiaoyuan felt as if the wind was about to blow him off the mountain.
The fist-sized rocks were blown down the mountain by the wind with a loud banging sound. Some small trees could not withstand the torment of the strong wind and were immediately broken in two.
"Crackling!" Finally, a bolt of lightning struck out from the dark clouds, illuminating the entire space below. Then, a deafening roar followed. Even a cultivator like Liu Xiaoyuan was so startled by the thunder that he almost jumped up.
It looks like things are getting serious; Su Xue is about to truly advance.
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck the mountaintop without warning.
"Damn it! Couldn't you at least give me a heads-up before striking? You almost hit me! Don't you have any professional ethics?!" Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyuan reacted quickly. As soon as he saw the lightning strike, he immediately flew backward into the air at lightning speed!
The next second, the spot where Liu Xiaoyuan was standing was struck by lightning, and instantly, a large section of the mountaintop collapsed, creating a huge hole.
Holy crap! Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise if I had been struck by that lightning, I would have been turned into a human barbecue, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and with some seasoning, it would have been delicious.
The mountaintop collapsed; I wonder how the Su Xue sisters are doing inside.
Just then, a beautiful figure flew out of the cave. It was Su Yu, who landed beside Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Where is your sister?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked. Since only Su Yu had escaped, Liu Xiaoyuan was naturally worried about Su Xue.
Su Yu said, "My sister is still in the cave, but don't worry. If my sister can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can she achieve the Golden Core Path!"
Indeed, the practice of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens; only by fighting against the heavens can one gain a glimmer of hope.
If you can't even overcome this simple difficulty, how can you enjoy the power of the upcoming tribulation lightning?
Although Liu Xiaoyuan had not survived the tribulation, he knew that the tribulation would only become more and more intense, allowing those undergoing it to slowly enjoy the process.
If you can't enjoy the process, you might be cleaved in two and reduced to ashes, disappearing from the world, and all your previous efforts would be in vain.
Of course, if you manage to get through it, then congratulations! You've succeeded, you've advanced, and you've reached a higher level.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu stood at a distance, watching as another bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds in the sky. This time, the power was much greater than before, and Liu Xiaoyuan could feel the terrifying aura even from a great distance.
"Boom..."
The lightning struck down, instantly splitting the entire mountaintop apart. The mountaintop collapsed, burying Su Yu within it.
With a deafening roar, dust filled the air, as if a bomb had blasted half of the mountain away.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan began to worry about Su Xue's safety. The mountaintop had collapsed like this, and the force pressing down on her was more than ten thousand jin. In addition, Su Xue was undergoing tribulation, so she could not be distracted to fight back. This was a very dangerous situation.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan's worries seemed unnecessary. Just then, a golden light shot into the sky, as if it were about to punch a big hole in the dark clouds.
As the golden light appeared, Su Xue burst out of a pile of rocks and mud. Su Yu remained in the same position, sitting cross-legged on the ground. A golden light enveloped Su Xue's body. The lightning tribulation had not harmed Su Xue in the slightest.
Su Xue floated in the air like a bodhisattva in a divine manifestation.
"Sister is so amazing!" Su Yu looked at Su Xue with admiration, seeing that she was still unharmed in the face of two such lightning tribulations.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that the first two lightning tribulations were just appetizers, and that half of the power of the first two lightning tribulations had been absorbed by the mountaintop.
Therefore, in Liu Xiaoyuan's view, the real test for Su Xue is yet to come, because Su Xue is now directly facing the tribulation of lightning, and there is nothing left to protect her.
