At the summit of Dongshan Mountain in Yangjia Village, it was early morning. The sun had just risen, and its rays shone on the mountaintop, casting a golden glow.
Jiang Wanwan sat quietly on the mountaintop. She had been cultivating here for a week and had finally found a breakthrough today. She held a spirit stone tightly in her hand, her eyes firm and focused, ready to establish her foundation in one fell swoop.
However, when Elder Xia saw Jiang Wanwan's posture in the space, he was greatly startled.
He knew all too well that Foundation Establishment was a crucial hurdle for cultivators, but this girl was acting so carelessly—it was utterly reckless! One must know that Foundation Establishment would attract a tribulation of lightning!
Old Xia was extremely anxious. He quickly took out various items from an ancient ring in his spatial storage. These were treasures he had collected over the years, each with extraordinary effects.
But at this moment, he took them out without hesitation, just to protect Jiang Wanwan from the lightning tribulation.
A short while later, Elder Xia left the space and came to Jiang Wanwan's side. He skillfully set up several defensive formations in succession. These formations shimmered with a faint light, forming a solid shield that tightly surrounded Jiang Wanwan.
Even after doing all this, Elder Xia was still worried. He stood aside, watching Jiang Wanwan anxiously, silently praying that she could get through this Foundation Establishment process safely.
Suddenly, dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a huge bolt of lightning tore through the sky, striking straight down towards Jiang Wanwan.
Elder Xia's heart tightened, and he quickly activated the defensive formation. The light on the formation instantly became dazzling, blocking the lightning attack.
Perhaps because it didn't strike the target, the second lightning bolt, which had been brewing for a long time, struck Jiang Wanwan in the formation with twice the power and effect of the first.
The formation was under immense pressure, its light gradually dimmed, and it began to teeter on the brink of collapse.
Elder Xia was extremely anxious. This lightning tribulation was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If it struck the formation again, it would definitely be doomed.
Sure enough, when the third lightning strike came down, the formation shattered, and part of it struck Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Dahe's home in Yangjia Village.
"Second Uncle, something terrible has happened!" Jiang Beixing rushed in from outside and shouted to the people who were doing farm work in the yard.
Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Dahe quickly put down his work, stood up, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Beixing! What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
"Look over at Dongshan! It must be my sister undergoing her tribulation!" Jiang Beixing said nervously, pointing to the dark, cloud-covered sky in the direction of Dongshan. A rumbling sound could be heard coming from that direction from time to time.
"What?" Tian Cuicui stood up immediately upon hearing the sound and looked into the distance. She saw lightning flashing and thunder rumbling in the sky, and a look of worry immediately appeared on her face.
Yan Ziyan, too, gazed intently in the direction of Dongshan, and couldn't help but feel worried.
However, unlike the others, Lin Weiguo seemed unusually excited, exclaiming joyfully, "Haha, let's go! Let's hurry over and see what's going on!"
At this critical moment, Lin Weiguo was the most skilled among them and could use teleportation. Therefore, he was the obvious choice to lead everyone to Dongshan.
"Quick! Weiguo, take us to see!" Jiang Dahe urged anxiously.
Lin Weiguo smiled slightly and nodded in response, "Alright! Everyone, follow me closely!" Before he finished speaking, he led everyone and disappeared from the spot in an instant, speeding towards Dongshan.
When everyone arrived at Dongshan, they happened to arrive just as the formation carefully set up by Elder Xia collapsed.
Jiang Dahe was extremely anxious and was about to rush into the scene, but he was stopped by Elder Xia with magic: "Such reckless actions will not only fail to save her, but will also anger the lightning tribulation."
Jiang Dahe looked up at the sky, his face anxious and his heart filled with confusion and helplessness. Tian Cuicui stood to the side, her eyes red, silently praying for divine protection.
Yan Ziyan gazed at the figure in the distance that remained ramrod straight, firmly believing that she would be able to safely overcome the tribulation.
As a ghost cultivator, Lin Weiguo was most afraid of the power of thunder, so he just watched from afar without much worry.
Jiang Wanwan gritted her teeth and circulated her cultivation technique with all her might, trying to resist the power of the lightning tribulation. She knew that if she couldn't survive this tribulation, not only would she fail to establish her foundation, but her life might also be in danger.
At that very moment, Elder Xia suddenly noticed an unusual fluctuation in the aura emanating from Jiang Wanwan.
He suddenly realized that the girl had unexpectedly started the process of body tempering under the tempering of the lightning tribulation.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth lightning tribulation descended swiftly like a sudden storm. However, this time it was not as imposing and earth-shattering as before; instead, it gently landed on Jiang Wanwan's body, as if it were specially assisting her in completing the body tempering process.
Looking up at the sky, Elder Xia sighed inwardly, "The Heavenly Dao of this world is so kind to my little disciple!"
The anxiety that had been hanging over me finally subsided a little at this moment.
In an instant, strange light rippled around Jiang Wanwan's body.
Although her appearance was completely blackened by lightning, and even her hair was shattered, there was actually an immense and powerful force hidden within her.
Even more astonishingly, a lightning snake, crackling with lightning, was firmly coiled on her newly cultivated primordial core, like an indestructible wall protecting her body.
Soon, nine bolts of lightning struck down, and Jiang Wanwan successfully established her foundation.
"The rain is coming soon, which will benefit you all," Old Xia said happily to everyone with a broad smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark clouds dispersed, a seven-colored auspicious cloud drifted in, and sweet rain poured down. Everyone was bathed in the rain and felt a rich spiritual energy.
Jiang Dahe and the others sat cross-legged, quietly feeling the immense energy brought by the spiritual rain.
Jiang Wanwan opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with a bright light, and she exuded a completely transformed aura.
Nourished by the spiritual rain, Jiang Wanwan's external injuries healed in no time, and even her hair grew back instantly.
Jiang Wanwan happily cast a cleaning spell on herself and then changed out of her tattered clothes.
