Chapter 12 What is Thunder Tribulation!
Not long after the people from the Sword Palace arrived at Zhongnan Taoist Sect, they received a message from the jade talisman. A young man wearing snow-white robes, with an elegant temperament and beautiful appearance, holding an umbrella, walked out of the Taoist Sect's gate to welcome them.
"Yuan Qi, it's been a while since we last met. I'm really sorry for bothering you so hastily."
Qi An and the other disciples of the Sword Palace politely bowed to the other disciples of the Dao Sect. Yuan Qi held the famous Tianyan Demon-Suppressing Umbrella in one hand and returned the greeting with the other.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Qi An is familiar with me. This is just an emergency, so there's no need to be so polite."
"Yuan Qi, what's your umbrella like...?"
Qi An noticed his movements and looked at the umbrella, which was originally as smooth as jade like its owner but now as red as blood, and couldn't help but speak out with concern.
"It's okay. I used it to recover an extraterritorial sky fire not long ago. Tianyan is just still adapting." Yuan Qi replied in a gentle voice.
"Extraterritorial Sky Fire!"
Someone in the Sword Palace's ranks exclaimed in shock. Seeing the others' puzzled looks, the disciple explained in a low, awed voice.
"The extraterritorial skyfire is a tyrannical fire that can only be found in ancient battlefields. Ordinary people are not allowed to get close to it. If you are not careful, even a Yuanying Zhenjun will be burned to ashes!"
There was a low cry of surprise in the team.
The extraterritorial sky fire that would burn even a Yuanying Zhenjun to ashes was in the hands of the famous magic genius in front of him. What an amazingly powerful strength!
"Quiet!" Qi An sighed secretly. The young man's stern gaze swept across the immature and somewhat flustered faces of his own Sword Palace disciples, and then he explained to Yuan Qi helplessly.
"The disciples I brought with me this time have never gone out on their own to gain experience. They usually stay in the sect and don't have much experience. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Yuan Qi, who was also the sect's vanguard, gently stroked his umbrella and glanced at Qi An and the slightly scattered team of Jian Palace behind him, which looked like chicks, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's nothing. There's no need for this between you and me. As for what the jade talisman just said..."
Yuan Qi paused and looked sideways. A disciple wearing the uniform of an inner disciple of Zhongnan Dao Sect had arrived here at some point. Seeing him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted him respectfully, saying:
"Reporting to the clan leader, this matter has already been reported to the clan leader and has received his approval. The Luan bird message to Futu Island has been sent out an hour ago."
"I won't say anything extra between you and me. If you need me for anything in the future, just call me!"
As the eldest son of Zhongnan Dao Sect who holds real power, Yuan Qi has always been thorough in his work. Upon hearing his answer, Qi An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"But isn't it a bit too much to send Feiluan directly to Futu Continent to inquire? After all, the two continents are so far apart..."
"No problem. It's always good to have more preparations. Moreover, the Dharma Cultivation Competition organized by Zhongnan Dao Sect is about to begin, and there are related matters that need to be coordinated with Liangyi Valley."
Yuan Qi smiled and gave instructions to the exhausted people in the Sword Palace.
"It will probably take some time for Futuzhou to reply, and it will also take some time to search for people in Jingnanzhou. On behalf of the sect, I have arranged a temporary resting place for you here. Please be patient and wait for a few days."
Qi An and his men naturally all obeyed and first settled down in Zhongnan Dao Zong.
Futu Island, in the Liangyi Valley.
Chu Sheng opened his eyes in Yunshui Xuantian and breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she was confined to the Qi training stage and unable to advance, Yun Mengzi had prepared several special essences for her, but at that time, without truly opening the Chu Sheng of Yunshui Xuantian, it was impossible to bring out the true effects of those precious medicinal materials.
In this situation, the final result was that although there were some results, the gains were very small and could not help her improve her cultivation.
Yun Mengzi had no choice but to change his mindset. With the goal of making sure that if he couldn't fight, he could run away, and if he couldn't fight, he could survive, he simply tempered Chu Sheng's Taoist body. Although she was a Dharma cultivator, she had a strong physique that was no less than that of a physical cultivator of a higher level, ensuring that his disciple's survival rate was greatly improved when he was out there.
Master has really taken great pains to take care of my special situation... Chu Sheng sighed secretly. She felt a little annoyed, but she also realized that she couldn't rush into cultivation, so she took a short break and strolled slowly in Yunshui Xuantian.
Although she has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and her physique has been upgraded again with the help of Gui Xuan's special medicinal soup, she still cannot advance normally like ordinary cultivators.
With the help of Yunshui Xuantian's special ability, Chu Sheng has tried it alone. No matter how much spiritual power is accumulated in her body, the barrier to her cultivation has never shown any signs of being shaken. Considering that she has made progress in her cultivation to the late stage of foundation building after breaking through the foundation building level, and recalling what the little bun said, the girl couldn't help but have new guesses about her current situation.
If one could quantify one's cultivation as a visible progress bar, the peculiarities of the Way of Mercilessness would allow Chu Sheng to make small breakthroughs without any hindrance. As long as her spiritual energy accumulation reached a certain level, she could naturally ascend to a higher realm. However, the mental method of the Hehuan Sect hindered her from breaking through the realm, causing Chu Sheng to have only spiritual energy accumulation but no sign of a breakthrough in strength.
Spiritual power cannot be transformed into a sea, and cannot be compressed and purified. The spiritual power that the body can store is limited. Chu Sheng will never be able to exert greater strength and can only stop at the current level, in vainly releasing the spiritual power that should have undergone a qualitative change in the body... This is the despair that Chu Sheng has been feeling for the past ten years.
She stopped.
In the space that was originally surrounded by thick fog and whose depth could not be seen, a new area suddenly appeared.
A staircase that extends from the open space next to the martial arts field into the void, so long that it seems like a road to heaven with no end in sight.
On one side of the stairs stands an ancient boulder. The boulder looks uneven, and only when you look closely can you see that someone has carved words on it.
Chu Sheng drew his sword and chopped it at the boulder. After a few crisp metallic sounds, only a shallow white mark was left, and even the white mark disappeared in a short while.
How could such writing have remained on such a solid boulder? Chu Sheng curiously probed with his mind, but could only make out a few blurry lines of writing.
"This world has evolved three thousand ways. The hermit knocks on the heavens. The hundred-year-old Yaoguang group appears. Ten thousand years have passed and the battle to cross..." Chu Sheng recited slowly. "How many romantic mortals have turned into ashes and fallen into the mortal world. Only I... can't see clearly? What is this?"
She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she felt a sharp pain before her fingertips even touched the words.
These words… turned out to be records left by sword intent! Such powerful sword intent, sharp but not revealing, restrained and unpretentious. If someone didn't reach out and try to touch it, no one would be able to tell the reason for the formation of these words!
Chu Sheng withdrew his hand, and blood gushed out from the pierced fingertip. The wound was instantly wrapped in spiritual power. A drop of blood fell on the boulder, staining the originally inconspicuous words in the corner red.
"Taoist... Chongming?"
The moment these two words came out of Chu Sheng's mouth, the boulder immediately emitted a dazzling white light, as if affected by something, and the entire Yunshui Xuantian suddenly shook.
Mountains and rivers rose from the ground, and palaces with flying eaves and walls emerged from the water. The violent movement caused by this huge change threw her out in an instant!
Chu Sheng returned to his body dizzy and dazed, but the moment he opened his eyes, he felt an unprecedented crisis -
Caught off guard, a purple lightning snake penetrated the cave's defense formation at lightning speed and struck Chu Sheng on the head with great precision!
"boom!"
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, what's going on? Are you suddenly going to undergo a tribulation?" Gui Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground recording medical records, stood up suddenly. He suddenly looked up at the tangled tribulation clouds outside the cave, and was puzzled.
"Your aura hasn't reached the Golden Core stage, and you don't have the opportunity to make a breakthrough. How could you suddenly attract the Tribulation Thunder?!"
It's impossible that the medicinal ingredients used in the prescription I wrote are so unpleasant that God wants to kill everyone who uses it!
Gui Xuan, who took advantage of Yun Mengzi's help and secretly used some special materials in the valley, now admitted that she was indeed a little panicked.
He frantically took out various healing pills, trying to get Chu Sheng to take them as soon as possible to save his life. "Hurry, hurry, Chu Sheng, take the medicine!"
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, quickly take the pills. I'll help you... um!"
Ling Fengzhi, who was standing by, was also awakened by this change. He drew his sword immediately and took the second thunder for the defenseless Chu Sheng. The wound on his arm, which had originally healed, instantly burst open under the effect of the thunder.
Blood dripped from his eyes. Chu Sheng, who was inexplicably struck by lightning, finally came to his senses and stood up from the pool.
"Ling Fengzhi!"
The medicine pool dried up immediately after being struck by lightning, and the ground was covered with black ash. She grabbed a handful of Huiling Pills from Gui Xuan's hand and stuffed them into her mouth without hesitation, and also stuffed a few into Ling Fengzhi's mouth beside her.
"What are you still standing there for? Why did you rush out just now? Hurry up and eat the Huiling Pill."
Ling Fengzhi, who was suddenly fed a pill by Chu Sheng, said: "!"
Even though he had just been struck by a thunderbolt and the wounds on his body were bursting and bleeding again, the ears of the silent swordsman were still visibly red.
Chu Sheng threw the pill to Ling Fengzhi and ignored him. She swallowed the elixir in her mouth mixed with the smell of blood, but her hands did not stop moving and immediately pushed Ling Fengzhi and Gui Xuan out of the range of the calamity cloud.
"Don't worry about me, go, leave this calamity cloud range immediately!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're about to endure a thunder tribulation! Without your sect's guardian, and without the protection of the defensive formation..."
Having rarely tried to help but still been turned away, the Young Master of Liangyi Valley, who had never seen such an insolent person, immediately became anxious. "I think you're looking for death by hanging yourself!"
"You can't run away." Ling Fengzhi held Chu Sheng's shoulder. The bloodstained young man looked up at the sky and explained calmly, "The range of the thunder tribulation has been locked. We have all become those who have to survive the tribulation..."
The three of them looked up at the calamity cloud above their heads which grew bigger as they spoke and were silent for a moment. Gui Xuan was the first to come back to his senses, and the gestures he made with his hands were about to turn into a phantom.
"The cave we're in now also has its own defensive formation. I've already activated it, but I'll be honest, this happened so suddenly, and I'm not sure if it can withstand the lightning tribulation... but at least it's better than nothing."
"Are you kidding me? Of course I have something like a defensive formation."
Chu Sheng looked at Gui Xuan in surprise. She coughed twice, spitting out the heat and blood in her throat from the lightning. Her other hand quickly reached into the mustard seed and pulled out one set, two sets, three sets...
"That's enough, that's enough, that's enough!"
Gui Xuan waved her hand to stop him. Seeing the defensive formation that could withstand the self-destructive attack of the Nascent Soul Stage, the Young Master of Liangyi Valley briefly recalled the fear he and his father had felt when they were controlled by the money offensive of the head lord Gu Yunmengzi.
With this level of defensive formation, it can definitely block the thunder tribulation of the Foundation Establishment Period... right?
Gui Xuan once again took out handfuls of spirit stones from her mustard seed: "Feel free to put them in! I have plenty of spirit stones here, don't worry about the energy problem."
Chu Sheng heard the Young Master of Liangyi Valley grumbling quietly. "At worst, I can just ask my dad for it. What's his is mine anyway!"
"If more lightning strikes, I can block it with my sword intent." Ling Fengzhi drew the Frost Sword completely. "The Frost Sword has the magical ability to attract lightning. This should reduce the pressure on Chu Sheng... Fellow Daoist."
The Frost Sword hummed in dissatisfaction, and finally lay obediently in Ling Fengzhi's hands.
"Since you all have an idea, I won't say anything else." Chu Sheng took a deep breath and also drew his sword.
The Hehuan Sect's sword is ordinary and has no special forging methods. After this incident, I'm afraid I'll need to find a new weapon that suits me...
She collected her thoughts and roared softly at the overwhelming thunder.
“It’s about to start!”
"Hold on!" "Leave it to me!"
In the clouds that were as black as thick ink, purple lightning snakes fell from the sky again!
"boom!!!!!!!!!"
