Chapter 98

In fact, even for Nan Xi, it is difficult to say whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.

Advancing to Yuanying is certainly a good thing, but in the plot, Luo Tingyun's advancement is not accompanied by a stronger cultivation, but a sudden outbreak of a hidden illness, and he is facing a fatal disaster.

In short, it is extremely dangerous and there is a narrow escape from death.

Even if they survived, they would be seriously injured, with their bones damaged, and fall into a long sleep, unable to wake up until their body recovered.

Then it triggered a series of subsequent plots.

And during Nan Xi's silence, everyone turned their attention to Luo Tingyun.

The 29 thunder tribulations of the Yuan Infant Period had only just struck the seventh one. From the calmness after the thunder tribulation, everyone could see that Luo Tingyun's expression did not show any pain at this moment, and he was as calm and indifferent as before.

As if he sensed something, after a while, Luo Tingyun looked towards Nan Xi, and when he saw her, he slightly tilted his eyes and smiled at her.

Nan Xi was stunned for a moment and sighed in her heart, but her mood still relaxed a little involuntarily.

What was Luo Tingyun thinking at this moment? Maybe he was thinking about everything, or maybe he was thinking about nothing. After seeing Nan Xi, he felt a lot more at ease. He turned around and looked at the brewing thunder tribulation, blinking his eyes slightly.

Although Nan Xi didn't say it, Li Yunzheng actually told him her own plot.

What is the plot? It is that when the Yuanying thunder calamity is coming, he has to face the calamity, face his own death.

The plot says that he survived the thunder tribulation, but it does not say whether he was still alive in the end. In any case, it was extremely dangerous. Before this, Luo Tingyun had been hesitating and always thinking about finding a good opportunity to face the tribulation.

But just before that, the moment his mood changed, he didn't want to wait any longer.

He will have to get through this disaster.

He wanted to survive and eliminate the part of his destiny that was holding him back. He wanted to live a more carefree life in the future, show his true self to others, and no longer hide the secret from his senior sister.

To become stronger, to catch up with the footsteps of my senior sister.

The dazzling light of the thunderbolt was reflected in his eyes, and Luo Tingyun's eyelashes trembled.

He suddenly felt pain in his body that invaded every part of his limbs. He finally frowned, but he was just enduring the pain, without any panic or fear in his eyes.

At this time, there were no longer many spirit beasts to be seen outside the city. When Nan Xi noticed the emptiness and desolation outside, she sighed a little.

She slept for more than a day and missed the ebb of the beast tide.

But precisely because the beast tide receded, the people who were still outside the city or on the city walls were all watching Luo Tingyun advance.

No one noticed that Luo Tingyun was abnormal at first. After all, it was normal for a person to be in a bad condition after being struck by thunder.

Nan Xishi was the first person to notice that something was wrong with Luo Tingyun. Perhaps because she knew a little more than others, when she noticed that there was something not obviously wrong with Luo Tingyun, her heart was in suspense.

Her eyes were fixed on Luo Tingyun. At this moment, Nan Xi hoped that she was just being overly sensitive and Luo Tingyun was actually fine.

But from the tenth and eleventh questions, it was obvious that something was wrong with Luo Tingyun. His eyes narrowed and his lips turned pale.

Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and nose tip, which should never appear when going through a tribulation.

Even after a thunder tribulation, when it should have been time to recuperate and prepare for the next thunder tribulation, Luo Tingyun's body was still shaking uncontrollably.

Nan Xi heard other people's whispered discussions.

"What happened to Luo Tingyun?"

"It seems like something unexpected happened. No matter how terrible the tribulation is, it shouldn't be like this."

"I heard that Luo Tingyun has always been in poor health, and his hidden illness has always been a time bomb."

"This disease never strikes earlier or later, but it strikes at this time. It's really fatal."

When the last sentence was uttered, Nan Xi heard an inexplicable sigh and regret in it, and couldn't help but frowning slightly.

This tone of voice almost implied that it would be difficult, or even impossible, for Luo Tingyun to survive this thunder tribulation.

The power of heavenly thunder is no joke, and ordinary cultivators need to use all their strength to resist and adjust their condition when facing thunder tribulation. Even so, most people will be covered in blood and flesh and half their lives will be gone when they survive the thunder tribulation.

Among those who lose consciousness or encounter any problems while dealing with the thunder, only one in ten can survive.

This is the fact, but even so, Nan Xi couldn't help frowning and staring in the direction of Luo Tingyun.

The heavenly tribulation has already begun. Even Li Yunzheng does not have the ability to rescue Luo Tingyun at this moment. Even if he wants to save people, he can only watch from the outside.

No one knows what kind of pain Luo Tingyun is going through at this moment. We can only judge how long Luo Tingyun can hold on based on the condition he shows.

When the eleventh thunder tribulation occurred, some people could not help but sigh.

"Her condition is already very weak. I'm afraid..."

What was Luo Tingyun's state at this moment? He could no longer stand and knelt down on one knee. When he lowered his head, his satin-like hair fell down with his movement, covering his face.

I couldn't control my breathing.

This situation means that the defenses are lost both inside and outside, exposing the most vulnerable state.

Facing the thunder at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

But twelve, thirteen... Luo Tingyun managed to withstand four heavenly thunders in this state.

Even though he could no longer maintain his composure in the later stages, even though no one thought he could survive, he still held on time and time again.

Nan Xi just looked at Luo Tingyun, and her whole heart couldn't help but tighten. By the end, she was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe.

There are eighteen thunder tribulations in the twenty-nine thunder tribulations, and fifteen have already struck. That is to say, with three more, Luo Tingyun would be able to survive this Yuanying thunder tribulation, as well as his death tribulation, and usher in a new life.

But the next three thunder tribulations will be the strongest and most deadly among the Yuanying thunder tribulations.

The sixteenth thunder tribulation had been brewing for almost a day. Everyone who looked up could feel the terrifying pressure and the tremendous power within it.

Some people couldn't help but be surprised.

"What's going on? The power of this thunder has increased so much all of a sudden. It doesn't look like a Yuanying thunder tribulation at all."

Although it hasn't struck yet, everyone can feel the terrifying power within it.

But after this day, Luo Tingyun seemed to have calmed down a little. He adjusted his posture, stood up with difficulty, and looked up at the sky again.

His long hair fell down, revealing his pale and extremely beautiful face. The aura around him lifted up the hem of his clothes.

The beauty was standing in the wilderness, with lightning shadows with purple light flashing around her. It was a very attractive scene, but it was rare for Nan Xi to notice something other than Luo Tingyun's beauty at such a time.

Not long after, the long-brewed thunder tilted towards him, with a force that could break the sky, and poured directly into Luo Tingyun.

The lightning enveloped and completely submerged Luo Tingyun's figure. Even Nan Xi underestimated the power of this lightning. It was so powerful that it didn't seem to be intended to help people temper themselves, but to kill Luo Tingyun.

Nan Xi's whole heart was lifted again.

For at least quarter of an hour, Nan Xi could not see Luo Tingyun's figure in the lightning.

Then the lightning gradually faded and dissipated. The moment Nan Xi saw the human figure, she could still hear the person screaming.

Luo Tingyun was no longer standing or half-kneeling, but lying on the ground. His body seemed to be soaked with blood, staining his light-colored clothes red.

His eyes were slightly closed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was still conscious or not.

There was another heated discussion around.

"Are you still awake?!"

"What a pity, such a beautiful person."

"It just so happened that the disease broke out at this time. Otherwise, with Luo Tingyun's talent, it would be easy for him to survive the Yuanying Thunder Tribulation."

"Let alone other things, even the intensity of this thunder tribulation is hard to understand. I finally understand why cultivation is against the will of heaven."

It was also at this time that Nan Xi discovered that Luo Tingyun seemed to be quite famous among these cultivators. After thinking about it, she understood.

After all, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Everyone was discussing Luo Tingyun's situation, but at this point, Nan Xi no longer heard any words that Luo Tingyun could still hold on.

Although the thunderclouds did not dissipate, which meant that Luo Tingyun was not dead, a person who had fainted would be turned into ashes in an instant under such a thunder disaster.

There are still many people who remain silent, yet refuse to give up hope.

After all, Luo Tingyun is not dead yet.

Nan Xi is one of them. Even though he was seriously injured and even though there were interferences at this time, Luo Tingyun managed to hold on in the plot, so there is no reason why he cannot hold on now.

But as she kept thinking about this, Nan Xi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After all, the plot can be changed.

In her mood, the seventeenth heavenly thunderbolt came down quickly, and then the lightning dissipated. Luo Tingyun was still standing there, with no obvious damage on his body, and the thunderclouds were still brewing.

This also means that Luo Tingyun is still alive.

Now, even those who were not optimistic kept their mouths shut.

What they were facing at this moment was not just a cultivator who was experiencing the Yuanying Thunder Tribulation, but a cultivator with a strong will that made everyone present admire him.

Everyone, like Nan Xi, held their breath.

In such silence, the last bolt of thunder brewed and struck down with an unimaginable force.

Some people couldn't bear to look away, but Nan Xi still stared at the direction where Luo Tingyun was. The blinding light of the thunder made her eyes sour, but she still didn't look away.

I don’t know how long it took, but after the last thunderbolt struck, the thunderclouds slowly dissipated.

Before Nan Xi felt the pressure from the thunder and lightning, she rushed towards Luo Tingyun.

There was more blood on Luo Tingyun's body, almost staining half of his clothes red. When Nan Xi came to him and knelt down, she found that Luo Tingyun's eyes, which seemed to be closed, were still open.

Seeing her at this moment, although she was obviously very tired, she still tried to open her eyes a little and look towards Nan Xi.

He was completely powerless, unable to move, and couldn't even control the expression on his face.

Nan Xi stuffed a healing pill into his mouth and whispered, "Don't even think about moving."

The thunderclouds in the sky had completely dispersed, and golden light appeared in the sky, casting phantoms of golden lotus and rainbow around Luo Tingyun. The sky was shrouded in light, which was the inherent blessing behind the thunder.

But at this moment, it seemed like they were celebrating Luo Tingyun's rebirth.

Luo Tingyun's condition improved visibly.

Only then did he blink. Although he was still extremely weak, he still tried hard and rubbed Nan Xi's hand.

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

Nan Xi didn't say anything, or maybe she felt there was no need to say anything at this moment. After a while, she picked up Luo Tingyun.

Li Yunzheng also came to her side, glanced at Luo Tingyun who was in Nan Xi's arms, and couldn't help but curl her lips, "How about, let me hold her?"

Luo Tingyun was more slender than Nan Xi. At this moment, Nan Xi was holding him in his arms. Although such weight was not worth mentioning for a cultivator, it still looked quite eye-catching.

Hearing this, Nan Xi looked towards Li Yunzheng, then thought about it.

"Junior sister should be more willing to let me hold her."

Li Yunzheng was speechless and watched Nan Xi carry the person back to the city.

There are doctors in the city. Luo Tingyun’s condition is unclear right now, so he needs to be checked by the doctor first.

This is another matter. Before Li Yunzheng caught up, she turned around to look at Qi Qian who was a step behind, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

Qi Qian fell behind, a little dazed.

From the time Luo Tingyun started to overcome the tribulation until just now, Nan Xi hadn't even glanced at him. This feeling was something he was not used to, but now that things had come to this, he still had to follow and see how Luo Tingyun was doing.

As for Nan Xi, even now, she is still worried.

Luo Tingyun survived the thunder tribulation, which was actually expected, but in the plot, surviving the thunder tribulation was just the beginning. Luo Tingyun's root bones were damaged and he needed a long time of recuperation. It was unknown how many years this would take, unless there was something that could speed up the repair of Luo Tingyun's root bones.

And until his bones recover, he will remain asleep.

It doesn't seem to make sense, but the calamity that Luo Tingyun has to face is not only the thunder calamity, but also the death calamity that can change his destiny.

He managed to survive, but it was clear that God would not let him off easily.

So there is this kind of deep sleep. In fact, in the final analysis, although it is a deep sleep, as long as you are still alive, there will always be a day when you wake up.

He survived the catastrophe, so the heavens would not trouble him any more, but some people just couldn't wait.

Nan Xi thought about the subsequent plot and began to think slowly.

[So how should the plot of digging my roots go? ]
