Chapter 560 Taking the Masters on a Tour of the Ancient City (Part 3)
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang looked at Zhong Cai—Cai'er was quite lively and talkative.
Zhong Cai chuckled and explained, "Your two masters are right. This place is specifically designed to help cultivators who have reached the Heavenly Realm adapt to tribulations! Moreover, the heavenly lightning inside can be controlled! Old Wu and I often use different levels of heavenly lightning to temper our bodies!"
As they were talking, Zhong Cai led Sang Jiang and the other woman inside and showed them around.
There are several futons inside the palace, and each futon actually represents a simulated area of heavenly lightning.
Zhong Cai picked up a futon and moved him to the right, clearing a room for him.
The room was originally sealed off, but it became transparent in the next moment. Inside, Zhong Cai sat cross-legged on a futon, waving at them—clearly, he had made the walls transparent on his own initiative.
Zhong Cai's voice also came from the room.
"Masters! I'm starting!"
"I need a Level 6 certificate! And a lower one!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang both saw that a burst of lightning suddenly appeared around the room, engulfing Zhong Cai.
In an instant, Zhong Cai's body was covered in a faint blue-purple light, which wrapped around him in circles and continued to penetrate into his body.
A soft crackling sound accompanied by the crackling of electricity.
Zhong Cai's hair tips were slightly raised, a result of the lightning.
At the same time, Zhong Cai began to grimace.
It was clearly lightning striking my entire body; it was incredibly painful.
Upon seeing this scene, Sang Yunchu took a few steps forward and asked, "How do you determine the strength of the lightning?"
Zhong Cai opened her mouth as if to speak.
However, fearing that speaking now would aggravate his pain, Wu Shaogan spoke first to explain: "Master Sang, please look, level six lightning will form six different colors of electric light."
Sang Yunchu looked at it carefully.
As expected—
He had been so focused on the lightning strike that he hadn't noticed it before, but now that he was observing it, he could see that the lightning wrapped around Zhong Cai was indeed six colors. Although they were all blue and purple, there were some differences in their shades.
Blue and purple each account for three of the colors.
Zhong Cai naturally heard Wu Shaogan's explanation to his master, and the electric light on his body quickly multiplied into four and five circles, fully demonstrating their changes in level—the difference could also be seen from his expression and the unconscious reaction of his body.
Immediately afterward, the lightning on Zhong Cai's body flickered on and off again.
Wu Shaogan continued to explain in tacit agreement: "Within the same level, the brighter the lightning, the denser the lightning."
Sang Yunchu observed carefully and praised, "It is indeed a very powerful ability."
Zhong Cai had already demonstrated, so she jumped up, picked up the prayer mat, and walked out.
The moment he emerged, the room vanished.
Jiang Chongguang couldn't help but say, "It's a very nice place."
Zhong Cai chuckled: "This isn't over yet."
As he spoke, he led his two masters a few more steps forward. With a thought, the environment inside the hall underwent a tremendous change—suddenly transforming from the interior of the hall into a valley!
It was spacious and incredibly huge, seemingly stretching as far as the eye could see.
The master and his disciples stood on a slightly higher slope.
Zhong Cai pointed to the center of the valley and said, "The lightning tribulation simulation is right there."
Wu Shaogan then said, "We can do it once now."
Although none of them are yet at the Tongtian Realm, let alone attempting the lightning tribulation, it is still feasible to observe the power of the lightning tribulation from a distance.
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang exchanged a glance, both noticing each other's interest.
This... is a very rare opportunity.
Wu Shaogan reminded him, "It's starting."
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to the place that Zhong Cai had pointed out earlier.
"Crackling sound—"
And it was at this very moment that a thunderous explosion occurred!
A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket—no, even thicker—slammed down from the sky!
It was so fast that even Jiang Chongguang, who was at the Nirvana Realm, couldn't react before it crashed to the ground.
In an instant, a deep pit appeared there.
The group flew into the air and gazed at the pit in the distance.
It felt bottomless, and the surrounding area was filled with dense lightning power, like countless lightning snakes roaming around.
Immediately afterwards, another bolt of lightning struck!
It landed precisely in the same deep pit, with incredible accuracy.
The lightning power in the deep pit became even more concentrated. The pit walls were originally just mud, but after being eroded by the lightning power, the area of the pit continued to expand, and the surface of the pit walls also condensed together, turning black and incredibly hard, as if forming something else entirely.
Then came the third, the fourth...
The pit was getting bigger and deeper.
The crater resembled an ocean of lightning, with each surge unleashing countless roaring bolts of electricity that surged in all directions, causing terrifying destruction. Raging flames burned amidst the lightning, resulting in numerous violent explosions with deafening roars!
Even the occasional ripples of residual electric current could send chills down one's spine, as if one's own skin would be scorched. The countless thunderclaps, though far apart, still made one's heart pound!
·
Such lightning is terrifying.
Even Jiang Chongguang, who was at the highest level, was somewhat horrified after witnessing the power of the lightning tribulation from afar.
Those of lower cultivation levels, such as Sang Yunchu, were even more terrified. All they felt was a tingling sensation on their scalp and a throbbing in their eardrums—their hands and feet even went numb, leaving them unable to move for a moment, their minds and souls completely captivated by the lightning tribulation.
Zhong Cai let out a breath and couldn't help but say, "If I were in there, I'd probably be blown to bits." He paused, "No, not even bits! I'd be completely obliterated!"
Wu Shaogan agreed, "It will indeed vanish into nothingness."
·
After they came to their senses, they realized that only ten lightning bolts had struck down in total.
The intervals between each track are very short. According to Zhong Cai's estimate, a track will descend approximately every few seconds or tens of seconds.
Sang Yunchu sighed, "If all the Heavenly Tribulations are like this, it is indeed difficult to endure."
Jiang Chongguang also said: "When you are truly undergoing tribulation, the first time alone, there is a heavenly thunder ten thousand times stronger."
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
·
That's true.
If it were a tribulation to reach the heavens, the first tribulation would be on their ten thousandth birthday, during which a full one hundred thousand bolts of heavenly lightning would descend.
When he undergoes the second tribulation, there will be two hundred thousand paths.
And so on, increasing by 100,000 each time.
Only during the ninth tribulation, the trial that will lead to becoming the Supreme Tongtian, will there be a full million bolts of heavenly lightning!
·
Sang Yunchu sighed, "Now that a mere ten Daos have already reached such power, it's no wonder that so many Tongtian have started collecting items to aid in their tribulations."
Jiang Chongguang nodded: "It is indeed extremely dangerous."
The Zhong and Wu couple had acquired quite a few items to aid in their tribulation during their previous card draws. Apart from the portion they exchanged for Xuan Stones, they prepared the rest for their masters and sold some to two factions. As for themselves, they were not particularly afraid and were not in a hurry to prepare anything.
The lightning tribulation simulation room here is one of their sources of confidence.
After sighing, Sang Yunchu looked at the Zhong Wu couple and said with satisfaction, "You two are exceptionally talented and will surely reach great heights in the future. With the help of this place, you may even reach higher levels—"
He didn't say the rest.
But somehow, Sang Yunchu had long felt that these two disciples were not only far ahead of the competition now, but would also reach an unimaginable top position in the future.
In the past, when Sang Yunchu thought about this, she wasn't sure. After thinking about it, she would chuckle slightly and suppress her thoughts.
Even today.
Seeing the many functions of the ancient city, and thinking of the many adventures he had encountered in places like the Land of All Beings, he suddenly became certain.
Although he might not live to see that day, he felt—he felt—that perhaps the supreme position, which had never existed in the world before, would fall upon these two disciples—they would surely live forever.
Jiang Chongguang was also very happy.
The Heavenly Tribulation is extremely dangerous. With this simulated tribulation site, the two disciples can prepare well in advance once they reach the Heavenly Tribulation stage.
Gradually adapt to the tribulation by starting with one lightning strike. When the day of the actual tribulation arrives, the chances of success will greatly increase!
·
The lightning tribulation was very shocking, but once you've seen it, you've seen it.
The master and his disciples left the small hall.
Zhong Cai pointed to another palace near the small hall and introduced it further: "This is the Tangchi Palace, which has many hot springs with different effects. Among them is one that can heal the hidden injuries caused by the Heavenly Lightning tempering, which can be used together..."
The group only glanced at the "map" at the entrance and didn't go inside.
The "map" shows the routes to the hot springs, with each hot spring marked.
·
After passing Tangchi Palace, we walked for a while and came to a small, enclosed hall.
Zhong Cai explained again: "This is a place where one can comprehend the universe and assist in Nirvana and advance to the Heavenly Realm. However, one should not go here if one has not reached the peak of Nirvana, otherwise it is easy to get trapped and cause one's will to collapse."
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang were shocked upon hearing this.
There are even those who have gained insight into the universe! If they meditate on it a few more times, wouldn't they have a better chance of advancing than ordinary people?
That's amazing!
This ancient city always manages to refresh their understanding.
·
They then visited some other functional locations—such as places suitable for Zhong Cai to hone his martial arts skills—and finally, Zhong Cai led his two masters into the alchemy simulation room.
The interior was empty, seemingly no different from a training room for simulating secret techniques.
but……
The moment Zhong Cai entered, countless medicinal herbs appeared around him.
It was radiant with precious light and surging with energy.
Sang Yunchu could see clearly that they were all level nine rare herbs!
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, since he knew that his disciple's herb garden contained many different kinds of rare level nine herbs.
However, right before Sang Yunchu's eyes, many level-nine rare medicines were transformed into two, three... ten... one hundred portions!
How could so many of the same level-nine rare medicine appear at the same time!
Moreover, they are exactly the same!
Immediately afterwards, many patients with obvious symptoms appeared before Zhong Cai, all of whom were Nirvana, wounded on the battlefield, whom he had seen before.
Sang Yunchu recognized that these people who had undergone Nirvana were clearly his patients.
Upon closer inspection, these patients showed no emotion whatsoever; they were simply... fake.
But Sang Yunchu knew even more clearly that these mannequins felt to him like they were alive, no different from the bodies of his real patients!
Later, simulated "patients" such as Yuan Hun with obvious symptoms appeared beside Zhong Cai.
Virtual alchemy furnaces and wood fires also appeared...
·
Sang Yunchu was overwhelmed with emotion and quickly looked at Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai gave him a big smile: "Master! Are you surprised? Are you not?
