Chapter 462: Sword cuts the heavenly tribulation! The old doctor's decision! The magical effect of the golden light of merit!
Lu Qing didn't expect that his master's heavenly tribulation would be so powerful.
The seventh thunderbolt already had some of the power of the previous ones in his Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation.
Clearly, when he first observed it, the power of the heavenly tribulation was not so terrifying.
"It seems that the heavenly tribulation is not static. It will change at any time depending on the situation of the person who is going through the tribulation."
Lu Qing recalled that when he was going through the tribulation, he was arrogant and challenged the might of heaven, which directly caused the tribulation to erupt.
Originally, according to the power of the calamity cloud that Master had triggered at the beginning, as well as the richness of the golden color of the calamity cloud, his heavenly tribulation should have been no more than six calamity thunderbolts.
But when he displayed the artistic conception of the Way of Water and Fire, the situation changed.
The difficulty of the heavenly tribulation also increased dramatically.
Sure enough, as the most powerful test and tempering of heaven and earth for practitioners, the heavenly tribulation is not rigid, but can change at any time.
Lu Qing felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart, and his understanding of the heavenly tribulation also deepened.
"But, in this case, it might be difficult for Master to survive the heavenly tribulation." Lu Qing looked solemn.
He could naturally see that his master had almost exhausted all his strength just now, and only then had he managed to survive the seventh thunderbolt.
Then the eighth thunder, which is more powerful, will be even more difficult to deal with.
There was a faint aura floating around Lu Qing.
No matter what, he couldn't just watch his master die in the heavenly calamity.
If the master couldn't hold on any longer, he would have no choice but to take action, fearing that it would ruin the master's path.
On the other side, while the calamity clouds were brewing the eighth calamity thunder, the old doctor was trying his best to absorb the spiritual energy from the mid-grade spirit stone.
"This spiritual stone given by Ah Qing is indeed a treasure. It can be transformed into one's own spiritual power without any refining. It is really magical."
The old doctor was amazed as he felt the spiritual power in his body recovering quickly.
Originally, he thought that the next tribulation would be difficult.
But now, I feel more confident.
However, this time, the old doctor also knew that if he continued to passively welcome the thunder, he would probably not be able to survive this heavenly tribulation.
We have to change our strategy.
Feeling that most of the spiritual power in his body had been restored, the old doctor's eyes showed determination and he had already made a decision in his heart.
A thought suddenly came to his mind, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
The area that originally covered an area of one hundred meters in radius quickly shrank and condensed in front of him, constantly condensing and compressing.
Finally, it turned into an extremely sharp sword light, attached to the sword.
Not only that, the water and fire spiritual power, artistic conception, and mind in the old doctor's body were all infused into this sword light.
Even unintentionally, the layer of golden light on his body also flowed into it.
The sword light condensed by the domain became even sharper, and even the surrounding space was distorted and fluctuated.
One can imagine how terrifying this sword is.
"Master, are you going to..."
When Lu Qing saw this scene, surprise appeared in his eyes.
boom!
As soon as Lu Qing had the thought, he heard a thunder from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the eighth thunder that had been brewing for a long time suddenly struck down.
At the same time, the old doctor also swung out a sword with all his strength.
The sword light was so fast that it intercepted the thunder in mid-air before it completely fell.
Then, under the gazes of everyone, the sword light that gathered all the old doctor's will and strength actually cut the lightning in half!
Even the sword light still had residual force as it went straight up into the sky and slashed into the golden calamity cloud, causing the entire vortex of the calamity cloud to stagnate!
Boom!
The thunder was cut in half by the old doctor, but it did not disappear. Instead, it split into two halves and continued to fall down.
But a lot of its power was consumed, and it was cut in half, so it didn't fall directly on the old doctor, but fell beside him.
The thunder struck the ground, and the lightning spread out, enveloping the old doctor.
But its power was within the range that he could bear.
"Master is so fierce!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Qing was shocked.
It was really because the power of the sword that Master just used was so exaggerated that it could even cut through the thunder.
He estimated that even if one was at the true Golden Core Stage, below the second level, without some special means, and was caught off guard and encountered the master's sword, he would probably have to temporarily avoid it.
At least, if it were Li Changbo, he would definitely not be able to withstand the sword light from his master.
"Monster! Monster!"
In the Lihuo Cauldron, "Yan" almost popped his eyes out when he saw this scene.
It never imagined that its master Lu Qing was always smiling and kind to everyone.
Even when mortals came to him for treatment, he would never refuse them and would treat them with all his heart and soul.
When it comes to overcoming disasters, he is surprisingly so vigorous.
Just because of a disagreement, he dared to draw his sword and slash the heavenly calamity!
You know, that was a heavenly calamity!
The existence most feared by countless practitioners.
In the ancient era of cultivating immortals, even the most amazing and peerless geniuses would tremble in fear when facing a heavenly calamity and would not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
What I am afraid of is that if I anger the will of heaven and earth, the power of the tribulation will increase greatly when I am going through it, and I will ultimately not be able to make it through.
Now, look what happened. This person actually used his sword to cut through the heavenly calamity without any fear at all.
This reminded "Yan" of the time when Lu Qing was going through the Jindan tribulation and openly challenged the heavenly tribulation, mocking its lack of power.
Now it seems that these two are worthy of being master and disciple, as they are both so bold.
"That sword light, was it created by Senior Chen?"
In the distance, Wei Shanhai and others also had dazed expressions on their faces.
Being so far away, they couldn't see the old doctor.
But they saw it clearly when a huge sword light flew out, cut through the thunder and penetrated the calamity cloud.
"The one who is going through the tribulation now is Senior Chen. Who else could it be if not him?"
"Senior Chen is the one who uses a sword, so it should be him."
"The sword cuts through the heavenly tribulation! Has Senior Chen's sword art reached such a high level that he can even cut through the thunderbolt?"
…
Wei Shanhai and others did not understand the taboos when undergoing tribulation.
But that did not stop them from being extremely shocked by the sword strike by the old doctor.
Above the ruined mountain, lightning was still spreading.
However, Lu Qing could feel that although his master's breath had weakened in the lightning, he was able to hold on, so he felt relieved.
His gaze was more focused on the vortex of calamity clouds in the sky.
Because, after the eighth thunderbolt descended, the vortex of thunder clouds still did not dissipate, and lightning was still flashing.
"Could it be that there is a ninth thunderbolt?"
Lu Qing felt heavy in his heart.
He could see that the sword he had just struck was his master's strongest attack.
If there is a ninth thunder, he will definitely not be able to deal with it.
"wrong!"
Suddenly, Lu Qing's eyes focused and he stared at the vortex of calamity clouds.
He discovered that something unusual seemed to be happening in the vortex of the calamity cloud.
I saw that in the golden calamity cloud, there was lightning that wanted to gather, but there seemed to be another force that was faintly stopping it.
And that power was also a golden light, but the color was slightly different from the golden lightning.
If you don't look carefully, you may not notice it at first glance.
"That power is... the golden light of merit!"
Lu Qing took a quick look and immediately recognized the origin of the golden light.
That is the power of the golden light of merit.
Earlier, the master used all his strength to strike out with the sword, and inadvertently, the golden light of merit that he had accumulated over the years was also slashed out and blasted into the vortex of calamity clouds.
Now it seems that the power of the golden light of merit has not disappeared immediately, but is instead preventing the calamity clouds from continuing to condense lightning?
"The Light of Merit, does it have this kind of power?"
Lu Qing stared at the sky closely and saw that in the center of the vortex of calamity clouds, the golden calamity clouds were constantly surging, trying to condense lightning.
But it never succeeded, and in the end, it even began to slowly dissipate.
Finally, after the calamity cloud completely dissipated, a stream of light flew out from the center of the huge vortex and landed on the old doctor. The entire calamity cloud vortex also began to gradually disappear.
Soon, the sky returned to its original state, becoming calm and clear.
Even Lu Qing was stunned.
"The calamity clouds have dissipated. Master, has this been considered as surviving the calamity?"
After a long while, Lu Qing came back to his senses and smiled.
"I didn't expect that the power of merit could actually resolve the heavenly calamity. This is probably the greatest reward for Master's many years of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
He felt emotional.
Judging from the movement of the calamity clouds previously, it was obvious that Master had a ninth calamity thunder.
However, in that previous sword strike, the master put all his strength into it, and also used the light of merit that he had accumulated for most of his life to strike out.
But I never thought that the light of merit would have such magical powers.
It was able to resolve the heavenly tribulation and prevent the last bolt of thunder from falling, allowing the master to successfully overcome this tortuous tribulation.
However, Master, this is a good deed that will bring good results.
If he hadn't spent the first half of his life as a compassionate doctor, saving the dying and the wounded, and curing illnesses and saving lives.
He would not be able to accumulate such a rich light of merit.
Naturally, there is no way to resolve this last thunder.
Therefore, all of this is due to the good results accumulated from Master’s own good thoughts and good deeds.
"The power of merit can actually resolve the heavenly calamity?"
In the Lihuo Cauldron, "Yan" was also stunned.
Just now, it also thought that the old doctor might not be able to survive this last thunder of disaster.
It was even prepared to work with Lu Qing to save the old doctor from the catastrophe.
But I didn't expect that the final development of the matter would be so unexpected.
That last calamity thunder was actually dissolved by the power of merit slashed out by the old doctor!
It has never heard of such a thing.
Such a thing has never been recorded in the classics of the Lihuo Sect. Even in the ancient era of cultivating immortals, no one in the entire cultivation world has ever heard of anyone doing such a thing.
"wrong!"
"Yan" suddenly shuddered and thought of a possibility.
“Those bald donkeys in Xuankong Mountain may know this secret!”
He suddenly remembered that if there was any sect in the ancient times of cultivating immortals that understood the power of merit the best, it must be Xuankong Mountain.
In fact, in the ancient era of cultivating immortals, the Xuankong Mountain lineage was indeed very keen on the power of merit.
Many monks who have achieved success in their practice will find ways to travel and accumulate merit.
At that time, the cultivation community believed that Xuankong Mountain did this because of their doctrines and cultivation methods.
Moreover, people who possess the power of merit will indeed have a smoother path of cultivation and will be more likely to be favored by good fortune.
As a result, many righteous sects often like to slay demons and monsters, and do good deeds to accumulate virtue.
It’s just that I’m not as enthusiastic about pursuing it as I am about Xuankong Mountain.
Now it seems that things are not that simple.
It is very likely that Xuankong Mountain discovered the light of merit, which has the ability to weaken and resolve heavenly calamities, which is why it is so keen on pursuing it.
Thinking of this, "Yan" immediately recalled some unusual things in the ancient times of cultivating immortals.
For example, Xuankong Mountain was one of the most advanced sects in the ancient era of cultivating immortals.
One of its characteristics is that there are a lot of Jindan realm people in the sect, which is several times more than that of other sects.
At first, everyone thought that the practice method of Xuankong Mountain was special, which could greatly increase the probability of disciples in the sect successfully surviving the tribulation.
Now that I think about it, it is most likely because they have mastered the secret of the Light of Merit.
"It's a pity that the so-called Xuankong Mountain secret place in this era does not seem to follow the rules passed down by their ancestors. Not only does it not accumulate merit, but it also shelters evil forces like Wujian Tower. It can be said to be decadent."
"Yan" immediately told Lu Qing his guess.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that there are no rules passed down from ancestors." Lu Qing said, "I heard Zhirui say that more than ten thousand years ago, Xuankong Mountain had a very good reputation.
From time to time, eminent monks appear in the world, travel around the world, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
But, I don't know when they started to act domineeringly.
They were even at odds with secret places like Qingyang Temple, and they rarely had any contact with each other.
I think the greatest use of the light of merit is that it can resolve heavenly calamities.
But for tens of thousands of years, the world has been in a state of spiritual exhaustion.
In the entire world, one can only cultivate to the innate perfection realm.
Even in the four secret places, one can only cultivate to the state of perfect foundation building at best, and cannot trigger the heavenly calamity to come.
Then the greatest purpose of the light of merit would naturally be lost.
What's more, it is not so easy to condense the light of merit.
It takes years of persistent kindness and accumulation of virtue to condense it.
This kind of perseverance and kindness is not something that everyone can possess.
On the one hand, it is extremely difficult to collect and condense, and on the other hand, it is of little use.
It is understandable that Xuankong Mountain eventually abandoned or did not attach importance to this method. "
When "Yan" heard Lu Qing's words, he nodded in agreement.
In fact, even in the ancient era of cultivating immortals, the actions of Xuankong Mountain were quite overbearing.
It is only because his disciples have the habit of traveling and accumulating merits that he has such a good reputation.
But it remembers that there were many times when other sects infringed upon its interests.
The methods used by Xuankong Mountain have always been extremely domineering and cruel.
He is well-known in the spiritual world for wanting to destroy sects and forcibly convert people.
Therefore, the Hanging Mountain of this era is actually still in the same lineage and cannot be said to have fallen into decline.
"Alright, Master is going to condense the golden elixir!"
At this time, Lu Qing suddenly said.
