Chapter 166 The Tribulation of an Unstable Dao Heart
But as it continued chopping, it felt its Dao heart becoming somewhat unstable. To hell with that working-class soul!
Who in a good family doesn't have a day off from work? Even oxen and horses aren't used like this.
An angry lightning tribulation is terrifying. The lightning that was originally meant to strike precisely and never hit innocent people began to fly around in all directions.
Any cultivator or demon beast that accidentally steps outside the protective shield will be attacked indiscriminately, their hair instantly electrified and standing on end.
At this moment, countless curses were running through my mind. They hadn't even reached the time for their tribulation yet, and they were already experiencing it ahead of time.
Speaking of which, wasn't today's tribulation lightning a bit too violent?
The lively day continued for a long time before gradually subsiding.
Lei Jie, dragging his weary body, hurried home without looking back, not daring to stop even for a moment, as if a ghost was chasing him.
God knows, it felt like it had done as much work in just one afternoon as it had done in a whole year before.
It hasn't stopped, it really hasn't stopped for even a moment!!!
These cultivators advanced as if they had taken some kind of powerful tonic; they did it in a flash, and then it was time for it to continue working.
Annoying!!

Seeing the store gradually getting back on track, Gu Xinyan and the others were quite satisfied. Apart from a few troublemakers at the beginning, everyone else followed the store's rules.
The three races, who were originally locked in fierce fighting, have signed a ceasefire agreement after a month of discussions, and none of them may start a war for any reason.
If they violate this rule, they will be expelled from the Three Races Alliance and will no longer be allowed to participate in the semi-annual trade fairs.
The semi-annual trade fair will select the top two forces during the competition, and each of those two forces will send one person to participate in the trade fair.
Seeing their arrangement, Gu Xinyan felt it was quite good. At least the connection of interests had brought the three clans back into harmony, which was a good outcome.
Today marks their second month in the cultivation world, and they have arranged with Sect Master Yuan of the Imperial Sword Sect to have their spiritual roots tested.
After all, they had all been practicing cultivation on their own before. They had only managed to learn some basic cultivation techniques through exchanges, but their understanding of them was not very thorough.
Since self-study was difficult, she decisively sought advice from powerful figures. After all, with so many influential figures from various sects and forces around, how could she possibly waste such a good opportunity?
To be honest, she wanted to trick one of them into going back, but these big shots were obviously not easy to fool, so she had been looking for a candidate recently. And sure enough, she did find one, but she hadn't started to act on it yet.
The person they're looking for, based on initial information, is from a sect that has fallen into decline.
However, it seems that it had reached the top before. A thousand years ago, it was the number one sect in the cultivation world. However, it suffered heavy casualties in a great battle, so the sect gradually declined.
By now, they've fallen to the point where they can't even recruit disciples anymore; the entire sect probably has only a handful of disciples that can be counted on one hand.
When Gu Xinyan first learned about it, she was quite surprised. After all, this was the sect with the fewest members she had seen in a long time, even fewer than most small sects. It didn't even look like a sect at all.
She hadn't noticed this sect before, but one day she saw three people sharing a bowl of instant noodles and, out of curiosity, she took a second look.
Presumably seeing her interest, a cultivator introduced her to the three people, saying that they were all from the Qingyun Sect.
So she silently made a note of these three people and secretly observed them for a long time. She found that the three of them were of good character. Although they suffered from the scorn and ridicule of cultivators from all sides, they remained positive and optimistic, which was quite admirable.
They are truly poor, but poverty is a good thing, because they can use spiritual food and rare treasures to lure people in!
After all, cultivating immortality still requires a master to guide one into the path, so as not to go astray. And these three people are the candidates that Gu Xinyan has chosen.
However, before any action could be taken, the Yuan Sect Master of the Imperial Sword Sect returned from the sect. He went back to retrieve some items for exchange and also to collect spirit-testing stones.
Gu Xinyan looked at the crystal ball on the table in front of her. Inside, there were white, cotton-like substances flowing around, which seemed to be alive and would change from time to time.
The area was now crowded with people who had come to watch the spectacle. There were cultivators from various races, as well as many powerful figures, all waiting to see Gu Xinyan and her companions test their spiritual roots.
"This is the special artifact our sect uses to test spiritual root aptitude. Besides this, there are several other artifacts for testing spiritual roots and talents, but they are not easy to move. This one is more convenient to carry."
Furthermore, while spiritual root aptitude is certainly important, it also depends on personal effort, opportunity, and temperament, among other things. These factors will influence one's future cultivation path. Therefore, no matter what kind of spiritual root one discovers, one should never lose sight of one's Dao heart.
Although Yuan Mingzi did not know why Gu Xinyan and the others had reached the Foundation Establishment stage without having their spiritual roots tested, he guessed that perhaps their world had a different cultivation system.
So he didn't ask any more questions. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the spirit-testing stone on the table and continued.
"You just need to gently place your hands on this spirit-testing stone. When testing your spiritual root, you need to calm your mind and concentrate. Alright, who wants to go first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chendong squeezed through the crowd from the side, raised his hand, and shouted:
"Me, me, me! I'll go first!"
“Alright! In that case, let’s do as I just said!” Yuan Mingzi replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Chendong gently placed his hand on the spirit-testing stone, took a deep breath, and then calmed down.
Seeing this, everyone present quieted down, staring intently at the spirit-testing stone on the table, eager to see what kind of spiritual root these people would discover.
As everyone watched with anticipation, the white, cotton-like substance that had been flowing inside the spirit-testing stone began to change. Instead of dispersing, it began to gather towards the center of the spirit-testing stone.
At the same time, a dazzling red light burst forth from the spirit-testing stone, which was extremely eye-catching, accompanied by a wave of heat.
"A top-grade fire elemental root? Not bad, not bad at all. A born weapon refiner! Given time, he'll become a powerful figure!"
Yuan Mingzi looked at the light emanating from the spirit-testing stone, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Hmm! He had the idea of taking on apprentices again, but he knew that these few people probably had no chance.
