When the power enveloping them dissipated, the group scrambled to their feet, only to find that not a single intact chair remained in the hall.
The sect leaders and elders could only stand awkwardly in place, their gazes still filled with doubt as they looked at the figure in the center who was frantically absorbing spiritual energy.
What exactly is she doing?
The question had barely crossed everyone's mind when the answer was revealed.
“Buzz..…”
As Nan Qing withdrew his hand gesture, the underground spiritual veins dried up completely, and the barrier of the sect's protective formation shattered completely. Everyone could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the air had become so thin that it was almost depleted.
Wuchenzi and the others scanned the area with their divine senses and immediately took a deep breath.
The spiritual energy within a hundred miles of the Xuantian Sect was completely drained!
The Xuantian Sect has been established here for tens of thousands of years, and this place is naturally a sacred place for cultivation. But now, even any remote corner of the Nine Heavens Continent is probably more spiritually vibrant than the Xuantian Sect now.
Xuanmingzi and Qingxiao Zhenren were ashen-faced; the foundation of their sect was destroyed! Regardless of their complicated thoughts, Nanqing glanced at the Xuantian Mirror and noticed that the spiritual energy around Tantaibei was gradually stabilizing, indicating that he was about to successfully form his core.
So she tore open the void again, reached out, and pulled out Tantai Bei and the other three people from the secret realm.
Tan Taipei remained in a cross-legged position. Even at the crucial moment of Core Formation, when he sensed a familiar aura, he still slightly opened his eyes.
"Master..."
"Okay, go ahead."
Nan Qing used her spiritual power to lift him out of the main hall. Sure enough, the moment he stood in mid-air, the originally clear sky was instantly covered by thick thunderclouds, and streaks of purple lightning shuttled through the clouds.
Rumble—
Once the Golden Core is formed, the tribulation of lightning will arrive!
When Tantai Bei was undergoing her tribulation, Nanqing used her spiritual power to sweep up everyone there and ruthlessly flung them all onto the plaza outside the main hall.
Bang, bang, bang
"Look, it's the sect leader and the elders!"
"Master!"
"...What exactly is going on?"
"The First Elder and the Third Elder are there too!"
...
Due to various anomalies, the main peak's hall was already surrounded by Xuan Tian Sect disciples, and even the air was densely packed with cultivators riding on flying swords.
However, due to Nan Qing's oppressive aura surrounding this space, no one could approach it.
Seeing themselves in such a disheveled state by their disciples, Xuanmingzi and the others were filled with shame, their old faces turning bright red.
Xuanmingzi and Qingxiao Zhenren, who had sent people to enter the secret realm disguised as disciples and then "accidentally" crippled the foundation of Dantaibei, were now filled with deep regret.
If they had known this fiend was so domineering, they wouldn't have been so determined to fight for the top sect!
But their regrets are already meaningless.
Nan Qing sat comfortably in the chair Qing He had brought, propping his chin up and watching the figure in the lightning net with great interest.
It's unclear whether Tan Taipei did it on purpose or understood his master's meaning.
The small figure swiftly darted between the peaks of the Xuan Tian Sect, causing the lightning tribulation to follow him.
"boom--"
The library was shattered and was on the verge of collapse.
"boom--"
Danfeng's medicinal herb field is gone.
"boom--"
The huge rock at the entrance of the mountain, inscribed with "Xuantian Sect," also cracked open in the middle.
Without the protective array and the nourishment of the spiritual veins, how could this mountain and these buildings withstand the lightning tribulation?
Therefore, when the final lightning tribulation struck, the peaks of the Xuantian Sect were already shattered and broken, their former glory gone.
At the same time, the golden elixir is formed, and the nine orifices open!
Tan Taipei stood suspended in mid-air, his body radiating a boundless spiritual energy, his sword intent soaring to the heavens.
But this was not the end. His aura was still rising, but the spiritual energy of this spiritual vein had already been completely absorbed by Nan Qing. The spiritual energy in the world was pitifully thin and could not supply the spiritual energy he needed at all.
"Uncle-Master, this..."
Master Qinghe immediately became anxious. He knew that his junior brother's breakthrough was as easy as drinking water, but even with the most extraordinary talent, without sufficient spiritual energy, it was like a skilled cook trying to cook without rice!
But Nan Qing remained calm and unperturbed: "What's the rush?"
The next second, her figure disappeared from her seat and appeared directly in the void not far in front of Taipei.
Suddenly, a dense, tangible spiritual energy surged from Nan Qing's body. The energy was as pure as the rising sun and as vast as the boundless starry sea, and it rushed wildly into Tan Taibei's body.
Tan Taibei's body shone brightly, the golden core in his dantian spun wildly, and all nine orifices opened, frantically devouring the pure spiritual power that carried a familiar aura.
Early stage of Core Formation.
Mid-stage of Core Formation.
Late stage of Core Formation.
Finally, his cultivation level steadily stopped at the late stage of Core Formation.
The others around were all stunned, staring blankly at the figure in mid-air as if struck by lightning.
Three minor realms that ordinary cultivators would take decades, or even centuries, to cross—he broke through them all in one go, just like that?!
"This...this doesn't conform to the rules of Heaven..."
Wuchenzi's Dao heart was on the verge of collapse. He knew a lot about the Heavenly Evolution Dao Body. Their Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had once produced a Pavilion Master who possessed the Heavenly Evolution Dao Body.
But... but that ancestor also took a hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and ascended to immortality in the year 567.
This little kid, this little kid... how can he be so unreasonable!
Xuanmingzi and the others were in utter despair, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
See? No wonder they had such wicked thoughts. This master and disciple duo are both incredibly twisted!
After Dan Taipei finished his meditation, before his spiritual energy had fully subsided, he couldn't wait to fly down to Nan Qing and grab her sleeve.
He tilted his head back, his clear eyes fixed on his master, his gaze filled with barely concealed joy and affection.
“Master, I can smell your scent in the spiritual energy just now.”
Nanqing flicked his forehead lightly with her finger, then took his small hand that was tugging at her sleeve.
"Let's go, I'll take my own revenge."
Tan Taipei knew that his master was referring to the person in the secret realm who had made him and his two nephews vomit blood, and he nodded heavily.
"Um!"
"Disciple understands!"
Nan Qing sat down again, and at the same time, she removed the oppressive force from the little mouse that she had pulled out of the secret realm along with her.
With a wave of his hand, the disguise spell on the man disappeared instantly, and his originally young face quickly aged, and his body became hunched over, turning him into an old man with gray hair and beard in the blink of an eye.
"Isn't that the Seventh Elder?!" a disciple of the Xuantian Sect exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, but it was clearly Senior Brother Zhang Li who looked like that just now..."
"It can't be..."
Whispers spread rapidly among the disciples. They didn't know what had happened, only that their spiritual energy had suddenly dried up, the sect's protective formation had shattered, and the sect leader and the elders were all pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Many people were still reeling from the shock of how someone could break through three realms in an instant when they were stunned by the scene before them.
Some quick-witted people guessed what had happened, and their faces turned from white to red, then from red to green, all feeling extremely ashamed.
At this moment, the sect's glory, which they were so proud of, seemed like a joke.
