◇ 【154】 Ascension【End of the main text】
Xi Lang understood, channeling a stream of energy into the pearl. It instantly expanded to a diameter of about ten meters. His hands flew, sending streams of energy into the Shenlong Flying Mountain. After about ten minutes, he had returned the pearl to its original size and placed it in his palm.
"I've re-established a formation on Shenlong Flying Mountain. This formation not only prevents ordinary people from entering, but also serves to gather spiritual energy. Starting this year, Shenlong Flying Mountain will automatically open once every three years. Everyone will have to rely on their abilities."
Sun Xingshui and the others were speechless. This was the best outcome. If Xi Lang handed Shenlong Feishan over to one person, no one else would be convinced.
"Master Xuanyuan." Gu Juan had a good impression of Xuanyuan Ao. Xuanyuan Ao was not among those who had troubled him and Xi Lang this time.
Xuanyuan Ao bowed and said, "I wonder if you have any advice for me, senior?" In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, so he felt no awkwardness in calling him "senior".
Gu Juan handed him the pearl from Shenlong Feishan. "Master Xuanyuan is an upright person. I hope you can return Shenlong Feishan to its original location. It will be open for the first time in a month. To prevent others from attacking you before you return Shenlong Feishan, take this item. It will definitely help you."
He took out another bottle of pills and handed it to Xuanyuan Ao.
Xuanyuan Ao showed gratitude on his face and took it with both hands, "Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely live up to your trust."
The clouds of disaster are growing thicker and thicker.
Xuanyuan Ao and the others saluted again and quickly retreated to a safe place.
Xi Cong, Luo Qingyou and others flew and landed in front of Gu Juan and Xi Lang.
"Take care of yourselves from now on." Gu Juan said with a smile, "I believe that although we part today, we will be able to meet again in the future. So, there is no need to say more about parting."
Xi Cong and the others all had confidence on their faces, and said, "Of course!"
Xi Lang said, "Brother, I'll leave Mom and Dad and Panpan in the care of you and your sister-in-law. If there's a chance, Juanbao and I will find a way to come down and see you."
"Okay." Xi Cong hugged his two younger brothers, "Be careful."
After Gu Juan and Xi Lang hugged their brothers and friends, they prepared to face the tribulation. When asked why they didn't use the Tribulation Pill, they realized it was to strengthen their bodies and minds. A sharp sword is forged through constant grinding. The more experience they have now, the less likely they will encounter danger in the future.
Xi Cong led Luo Qingyou and the others to retreat ten miles before he felt the pressure on him ease. The others did not leave either. They did not want to miss the rare opportunity to witness the tribulation.
The area near Lingxu Mountain was uninhabited, making it convenient for Gu Juan and Xi Lang to survive the tribulation. Layers of dark clouds, varying in color, lay layer upon layer, resembling crackled earth during a drought. Flashes of lightning flashed intermittently through the clouds, their clamor a constant.
"Boom—boom—"
Gu Juan and Xi Lang had never experienced a tribulation, so naturally they had no experience. However, they had read the notes left by Immortal Emperor Tongde, as well as the tribulation experiences of other cultivators he had collected. Therefore, they were very well prepared. Most importantly, they were confident that as long as they were strong, they would fear nothing.
Before the thunderbolts descended, Gu Juan had the leisure to chat with Xi Lang. "Old man, according to Master, there are three kinds of heavenly tribulations. A minor tribulation, with three thunderbolts; a major tribulation, with six thunderbolts; and a severe tribulation, with nine thunderbolts. Which one do you think we'll encounter?"
Xi Lang said calmly, "We will face the tribulation together. I'm afraid it will be the third type, nine tribulation thunders."
Over there, Sun Xingshui and others were also guessing what kind of heavenly calamity they would encounter.
"It's simply... it's simply... they both actually went through the tribulation together!" Sun Xingshui didn't know what to say. Should he say that Gu Juan and Xi Lang were too arrogant, or that they were too confident?
The sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds rotated.
"Boom—"
The first thunder is coming!
"I'll go first." Gu Juan was full of fighting spirit and ambition.
Xi Lang nodded, "Be careful."
Gu Juan raised the Yuehui Sword and swung it towards the sky! This sword used up nearly 80% of his strength. The sword light shone like the Milky Way pouring down. "Shua", with a light hum, the thunder was split in half and dissipated in an instant.
The calamity clouds in the sky were not affected at all by the ones below, and were still brewing the second calamity thunder at the same rate.
The second thunder came roaring, and the sky and the earth changed color!
This lightning bolt was twice as thick as the first one, and it seemed to carry the resentment of the first lightning bolt that was split apart, and its roar was earth-shaking.
“Boom—”
Xi Lang roared to the heavens and soared into the air. The Dragon Scale Knife transformed into a flaming dragon, leaping and leaping, swallowing the tribulation lightning in one gulp. When the flames dissipated, the tribulation lightning also disappeared without a trace.
But Gu Juan and Xi Lang still did not dare to be careless, because they knew that each thunderbolt would be more powerful than the last.
The third thunderbolt...
The fourth thunderbolt...
The fifth thunderbolt...
The sixth tribulation thunder...
The two took turns to deal with them and successfully defeated them.
The seventh thunderbolt was already thicker than an adult's thigh. Even before it descended, Gu Juan felt a wave of palpitations. This palpitation wasn't fear, but a shock to the soul.
"Use the double-wing formation." Xi Lang also felt this pressure, but remained very calm.
Gu Juan calmed down and nodded. They had been preparing for this day for a long time. Even a severe calamity could not stop their ascension!
“Crack—”
Here we come!
Gu Juan and Xi Lang leaped up simultaneously, flying towards the thunderbolt. The Moonlight Sword and the Dragon Scale Knife intersected in mid-air, and a flicker of silver light flashed across both blades. It was as if an invisible hand grasped the silver light and drew patterns on the blades, transforming them into two enormous wings.
This is the powerful double-wing formation!
"Boom—" Thunder struck the wings of the sword. The two wings suddenly flapped upwards as if a mechanism had been activated.
"call--"
After a dull whistling sound, the thunder was shattered by the sudden wind.
For the eighth thunderbolt, Gu Juan and Xi Lang used the Double Wing Formation again. This time, although the thunderbolt was still destroyed, the Double Wing Formation also completely collapsed.
The ninth thunderbolt was as thick as a bucket, coming with great force and intimidating!
Victory was within reach, and Gu Juan was filled with confidence and a sense of pride. "Old man, this is the last one. If I don't succeed, I will die!"
"Together!" Xi Lang's heart was filled with lofty ambitions.
“Boom—”
The sky and the earth began to shake. Dark clouds filled the air, and the wind blew up, stirring the clouds. The entire sky seemed to be collapsing. The earth also shook like a boat on the sea.
Sun Xingshui and the others cried out in alarm and retreated nearly ten miles again, staring closely at the two people under the calamity cloud, not daring to even breathe, for fear of affecting them.
"Roar!" Gu Juan and Xi Lang roared at the same time, and bounced up like a cannonball, mobilizing all the remaining true energy in their bodies and pouring it into their swords.
"boom--"
The two powerful forces collide and crush the old one in one!
Gu Juan and Xi Lang's bodies felt lighter and they fell downwards.
The next second, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed as if celebrating a victory, and thousands of feet of golden light burst out, lighting up the dim sky and earth again.
"Hehe...hehe..." Gu Juan and Xi Lang lay weakly on the ground, unable to help laughing. They looked up at the sky, their hands tightly clasped together.
The golden light gently caressed their bodies like a gentle hand, slowly repairing wounds big and small.
The two remained motionless, allowing the golden light to lift them up. Once they reached mid-air, they regained some strength, stood side by side, looked down, waved, and flew higher and higher amidst the crowd's gazes, some reluctant, some envious.
"Old man."
"Um?"
"It's so good to have you around." Gu Juan slowly snuggled into Xi Lang's arms, sighed comfortably and lazily, and closed her eyes.
Xi Lang hugged the love of his life tightly, a gentle smile on his lips, "Me too."
