Chapter 10: Leap to Build a Foundation
As they stepped in, they felt spiritual energy coming towards them, which was much thicker than outside. The sight was lush green, and a primeval forest came into view.
"Second Brother, isn't it forbidden to let anyone in the forbidden area? Is it really okay for you to bring me in?" Zhong Ling'er asked.
Bai Luochen smiled and said, "No one is allowed to enter the forbidden area, but we are personally taught by the emperor. The spiritual energy here is rich, so we can come here to practice."
Zhong Ling'er understood immediately that this was the special treatment given by a direct disciple.
Seeing the little sister's eyes light up, Bai Luochen quickly said, "You can only enter here after you have established your foundation, but as long as you don't go in, it's fine. Wait for me here for a while, and I'll find some sparring partners for you."
Bai Luochen then entered the jungle. After a while, he heard the sound of wild beasts running, and a group of strange-looking monsters were driven out.
When they were about to rush to Zhong Ling'er, Bai Luochen appeared, and several formation bases were thrown out from his palm. Then he shouted: "Rise!" Colorful rays of light rose, and the formation appeared, trapping all the monsters in the formation.
Zhong Ling'er saw that this was a third-level trapping formation, which was more than enough to trap these Qi training monsters. Not to mention, training with these ferocious monsters would definitely make her progress much faster than unilaterally beating up the spiritual birds. Second Senior Brother was indeed thoughtful.
But this is not the end. Bai Luochen walked into the formation, and several formation bases were placed down. The formation was divided into more than a dozen areas. There were one to three monsters in each area. Their overall strength did not exceed the foundation-building stage, which was just within the range that Zhong Ling'er could defeat.
Seeing the young man busy in the formation and spending so much time and effort on her, a little waste who couldn't practice, Zhong Ling'er couldn't help but be moved. The second senior brother looked gentle and elegant, and easy to get close to, but in fact he was indifferent and distant, and seldom opened up to others, but he was really good to her.
It was not difficult to nest some small trapping arrays within a large one, but it took quite a lot of effort. Zhong Ling'er had also studied array formations a lot in the past month. Combined with her memories from her previous life, she had a thorough understanding of Bai Luochen's array formation techniques. She even began to calculate in her mind where his next array base should be placed, and which array base would be more perfect if it was moved a few inches.
In fact, it is too complicated to use a large formation within a small formation. If you just want to separate these monsters, there is a third-grade formation called "Five Elements Heavenly Prison" which is simpler and easier to use. You can separate the monsters directly according to the five elements. If you arrange it like the second senior brother, dismantle ten formation bases, and then move two of them to form that kind of formation.
The structures of the two formations were evolving in her mind, and she was thinking about how to use the formation to better benefit herself from the power of heaven and earth. Zhong Ling'er unknowingly entered a magical state. Everything around her had disappeared, and she was the only one left in the vast world. The ten formation bases in front of her were constantly arranged, producing thousands of changes, and finally turned into a complex and mysterious mark, which was imprinted on her forehead and disappeared.
Bai Luochen walked out of the formation, only to see his junior sister standing there blankly with a dazed look in her eyes. There was a familiar aura of Tao surrounding her. He was surprised and wondered if his junior sister had entered a state of enlightenment?
He was sure that the Taoist aura around her was the art of formation. Could it be that she had gained enlightenment just by watching him set up the formation? What kind of genius was she!
Bai Luochen didn't dare to disturb her and stood aside waiting quietly. Something surprising happened again. He suddenly realized that the surrounding spiritual energy was gathering here madly, and when it came to Zhong Ling'er's side, it formed whirlpools.
The aura on Zhong Ling'er's body also changed again and again, gathering the first level of Qi, gathering the second level of Qi, gathering the third level of Qi...
Finally, he gathered Qi to the ninth level, but it still did not stop. He saw a roar in the sky above his head, endless black clouds rolled, lightning flashed continuously, and the mighty power of heaven spread, announcing that a thunder disaster was coming.
Bai Luochen's eyes flashed with surprise. As a thunder tribulation for building the foundation, wasn't the sound a little too loud?
More than a dozen array bases were launched, and Bai Luochen only had time to set up a simple protective array around Zhong Ling'er, hoping to help her reduce some of the power of thunder.
In fact, cultivators can only withstand the thunder tribulation by themselves, and help from the outside world is not of much use. What Bai Luochen did can only be said to be better than nothing.
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell down, and Zhong Ling'er was almost knocked down.
As soon as she woke up from her enlightenment, she felt that her body had changed. Before she could recover from the rapid improvement of her realm, she was struck by a bolt of lightning, which made her feel very... confused.
"Junior sister, keep your mind focused and concentrate on overcoming the tribulation." Bai Luochen's voice came at the right time.
Zhong Linger finally came back to her senses and recalled the memories of the tribulation in her previous life. While she hurried to get into the state, she couldn't help but wonder when the thunder tribulation in the foundation-building period became so strong. It's just the foundation-building period, isn't it just a matter of showing it?
But Zhong Ling'er's thunder tribulation was different from others, and also different from her previous three lives. This thunder tribulation was very strong from the beginning, and each one was stronger than the last. Ordinary people would be finished with two or three, but Zhong Ling'er was struck by nine. It seemed that the thunder tribulation had a grudge against Zhong Ling'er, and it was really striking her to death.
Zhong Ling'er could still stand when the first thunder struck her, but she could only sit when the second struck her, and she lay down when the third struck her. After that, she never sat up again. She was struck from the front and the back, just like a fried chicken fillet, turning it over continuously, and she would not stop until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh, fragrant and crispy.
Is this being targeted? Definitely being targeted!
Zhong Ling'er couldn't help but wonder, maybe because she didn't follow God's will and changed her predetermined life trajectory, God was waiting for her here.
However, Zhong Ling'er is not someone who will suffer a loss. She can feel that the round bead in her sea of consciousness is protecting her body. Since she cannot die, she has to do some tricks. The round bead can absorb spiritual power, but what about the power of thunder?
She used her spiritual power to attack the thunder, continuously moving the thunder into the round bead. The round bead lived up to her expectations and directly decomposed and absorbed the thunder.
Zhong Ling'er could feel Yuanzhu's love for thunder. In the end, she didn't even need to practice any skills, as Yuanzhu was actively absorbing the thunder that fell on her.
Finally, the nine thunders stopped falling, the dark clouds dispersed, and Zhong Ling'er's body was charred black. An illusory little man came out of her mouth and she fainted.
Bai Luochen hurriedly picked up his junior sister and flew out of the forbidden area, going directly to Danfeng to find Fairy Qionghua.
After examining Zhong Ling'er's injuries, Fairy Qionghua was also stunned. How could this girl, whose spiritual roots were so damaged, still be able to cultivate, and even skip the stage of Qi Refining and go straight to the stage of Foundation Building? !
Fairy Qionghua couldn't figure it out, and Bai Luochen couldn't figure it out either, his little sister who had an excellent talent for swordsmanship was going to become a physical practitioner, and entered the Dao through formations!!!
Knowing that Zhong Ling'er entered the Dao through formations, Fairy Qionghua seemed to have found a reason and smiled knowingly, "Ling'er's father is the only ninth-grade formation master in Dongzhou. As the daughter of Master Zhong, it's not surprising that she has talent in formations. Since she has entered the Dao of Formations, it's a good thing for our sect."
After saying this, he nodded heavily to convince himself that this was the case.
