Chapter 70: This is the way to overcome the tribulation
Qi Xiuyuan gained huge benefits, so naturally Shen Yichuan was no less fortunate.
The devouring technique he practiced was usually only effective on objects, such as fireballs, mutant rain steel stones, star stones, etc. However, here he found that the aura of the spiritual flowers here, these spiritual energies made him want to devour them. Therefore, after closing his eyes, Shen Yichuan immediately began to devour the spiritual energy here.
Soon, Qi Xiuyuan noticed what was happening with Shen Yichuan. The noise he was making was truly remarkable! For example, the spiritual energy in the flowerbed was gathering towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye! Furthermore, Qi Xiuyuan discovered another problem: although the spiritual energy in the flowerbed was rapidly draining away, a steady stream of it was still bubbling up from beneath it! This influx of spiritual energy was effectively replenishing the spiritual energy that had been absorbed by Shen Yichuan.
It's like a jar of water that never runs out!
Qi Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes. He looked at Shen Yichuan, then at the flower bed beside him, and finally decided to ignore the noise Shen Yichuan made.
He was very busy and didn't have much free time. Since the spiritual energy in this flower bed would replenish itself automatically, he didn't have to worry about how much spiritual energy Shen Yichuan absorbed.
Time passed slowly as the two people practiced.
One day, two days, three days... half a month, a month.
For a whole month, the spiritual energy in the flower bed was lost at a terrifying speed, and all of this spiritual energy was absorbed into the bodies of Shen Yichuang and Qi Xiuyuan.
That day, suddenly, a calamity cloud appeared above both Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan simultaneously. The two clouds should have been separate, after all, Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan were two separate people. However, they were so close together, separated only by half a flower bed! Therefore, after brewing for a while, the calamity clouds above their heads unexpectedly merged together!
Moreover, with the combination of the calamity cloud, the power was actually doubled!
At the same time, Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan, who were meditating, opened their eyes almost simultaneously. They naturally knew where this calamity cloud came from. This was the calamity cloud that would lead them to the Martial Emperor stage. But, damn, the calamity cloud that could have been smaller had become so terrifying because of the fusion of the two calamity clouds!
For a moment, both of them looked unhappy.
At this point, there is no other response strategy. Even if we want to separate now, it is too late because the calamity cloud has already fallen.
The first lightning tribulation was a bolt as thick as a chopstick. Don't think it's thin; in fact, among those who survive the tribulation, this is already very thick. You have to know that the power of thunder is so strong that even a trace of it can kill people! Such a thick lightning tribulation is really not something that ordinary people can handle!
Two thunder tribulations fell from both sides. Qi Xiuyuan took them head-on, while Shen Yichuan... He quickly took out a Faraday cage from the storage space.
This was something he had prepared for himself back at the Qi Clan, in preparation for a Martial Honor Breakthrough. In the original owner's memory, the Martial Honor Breakthrough also involved thunder tribulations, but for most cultivators, the thunder tribulations were relatively minor, and they were certain to survive them. However, if a cultivator practiced a special technique, the thunder tribulations would be far more powerful.
At that time, Shen Yichuan occupied the original owner's body, but he felt that he would definitely not be lucky. In a book, he would definitely be a villain, so there would definitely be a Wu Zun thunder tribulation, and it might be very strong. Who said that the original owner's devouring technique was actually no different from an evil technique?
But he didn't expect that he broke through to the Martial Master level in that strange space. Anyway, he didn't encounter anything at that time.
But now, this cage is useful, but I don’t know if it can be used!
People here don't know about this kind of cage, but as Earthlings, most people know about it because it's just the application of a little physics. Simply put, it's used to avoid lightning, and the lightning will go into the ground through this cage!
If it were on Earth, this lightning protection method would definitely be useful! However, this is the Cultivator Continent, which is inherently full of mysteries, so Shen Yichuan has no confidence at all whether this cage can be effective.
Fortunately, when the first thunder fell, it actually... worked!
Shen Yichuan's eyes lit up.
Qi Xiuyuan also saw the situation here and was stunned. What kind of magical weapon was that? It could actually avoid the thunder tribulation?
Although Qi Xiuyuan had easily withstood the first thunder tribulation, he didn't know how many thunder tribulations would come after that, and Qi Xiuyuan was not sure that he could survive them all.
He fell from the level of a god and then seized that ray of hope to be reborn. These are enough to prove that the way of heaven has malice towards him.
Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he flew directly towards Shen Yichuan.
Shen Yichuan saw Qi Xiuyuan coming and opened the cage openly, "Xiuyuan, come in."
Qi Xiuyuan flashed in and Shen Yichuan quickly closed the cage door. At this moment, the second lightning struck.
Crackling lightning flashed around him, and Shen Yichuan felt a little numb on his scalp, but fortunately he managed to survive this thunder tribulation.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at the huge group of calamity clouds in the sky that were brewing the third thunder tribulation, and then asked Shen Yichuan: "What kind of magic weapon is this?"
"Actually, it's not even a magical weapon. It's only slightly effective against lightning. It's a little gadget I made. I'll tell you how to make it after we get out. However, this lightning tribulation is too powerful. I'm afraid this cage will be shattered sooner or later."
Shen Yichuan was a little worried when he said this, and he was very apprehensive when he looked at the calamity clouds above his head.
Qi Xiuyuan didn't care. Having this thing was already an unexpected surprise. He would still have to go through the tribulation without it!
Shen Yichuan's worries were quite reasonable. After five thunder tribulations, the cage was smashed into pieces, and the figures of Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan were completely exposed.
Qi Xiuyuan had actually been prepared for this. He was just about to move away a little bit and then overcome the tribulation himself, and then... then, he saw Shen Yichuan take out the second cage.
Qi Xiuyuan: "..."
So, this "little thing" can't really be a "little thing"? Isn't that just Shen Yichuan's self-deprecation?
After taking out the second cage, Shen Yichuan did not relax at all, because the power of the thunder tribulation was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt that this cage could not last long.
"Xiuyuan, come in quickly." Shen Yichuan flashed into the cage and called out to Qi Xiuyuan.
Qi Xiuyuan was silent for a second and then entered silently.
As the thunderbolt struck, Shen Yichuan felt even more apprehensive as he watched the lightning flash around him. He didn't know why, but he felt that this thunderbolt from the sky was far more terrifying than any mysterious beast or spirit beast! In his heart, he seemed to have an instinctive fear, even terror, of such divine might.
Shen Yichuan frowned slightly. He was never afraid of thunder on Earth, so why was he so afraid of thunder here? He didn't understand the reason.
Another bolt of lightning struck, as thick as a baby's arm, and the cage was shaken to the point of collapse.
"I'm afraid this cage can only hold one more. Qi Xiuyuan, do you know how many thunder tribulations we will face?"
"It's at least thirty-nine thunder tribulations, forty-nine is possible, but it won't exceed forty-nine."
"Then it seems that there are not enough cages." Shen Yichuan frowned.
Qi Xiuyuan looked very calm. "Even without this cage, we still have to survive the tribulation. It's good enough that it can block so much for us."
Shen Yichuan sighed and said nothing.
Another thunderstorm struck, and as expected, the cage shattered into pieces. Moreover, the two people inside resisted for a while and were safe.
Qi Xiuyuan was well prepared and was about to leave, then, then... the third cage appeared.
Qi Xiuyuan: "..."
Qi Xiuyuan's face was expressionless this time. He looked at Shen Yichuan and asked, "How many cages like this do you have?"
Shen Yichuan said in distress: "Not many, I should have prepared more at the time, so that we won't be short of them now. I only prepared twenty."
Twenty... Twenty...
Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to say anything anymore.
Who would prepare twenty magical instruments at once before transcending the tribulation? I'm afraid it's only Shen Yichuan!
Qi Xiuyuan really had nothing to say.
Shen Yichuan took out the third cage with a worried look, then the fourth, and the fifth...
After all twenty were used up, the 30th thunder tribulation came, and the 31st one soon came.
It was indeed the forty-nine thunder tribulation.
He could only bear it by himself. Shen Yichuan gritted his teeth, then took out two raincoat-like clothes and threw one to Qi Xiuyuan.
"Putting it on and covering it with the hood of this dress might help, but I can't guarantee it."
This "raincoat" worked on the same principle as the previous cage. Shen Yichuan wasn't a weapon refiner, so if he was asked to make something, he would only be able to make the simplest ones. This was just a ready-made robe cloak coated with a thick layer of insulating material. As for whether it worked or not, he really didn't know; after all, he had never used it before! Wasn't this the first time he'd survived a thunder tribulation?
Qi Xiuyuan watched as Shen Yichuan quickly put on his clothes and even his hat. He paused and put on his clothes as well.
There are only a few thunders left, but these thunders are definitely the most powerful. He has no mind if he can take it easy, and he doesn't care even if they have no effect.
After all, whether it was the cage before or the robe now, they were both considered "windfalls"...
The huge thunder tribulation fell, and it seemed to carry endless anger and roar. This thunder tribulation was probably angry, so its power was even greater.
After all, throughout history, no robbery cloud had ever felt as aggrieved as they did today! Those two people below were cheating! They were cheating!
Filled with boundless rage, a massive thunderbolt descended, and then… Qi Xiuyuan was surprised to discover that the robes he wore had actually neutralized almost 80% of the thunderbolt's power! The remaining 20%… was naturally not difficult to resist.
Although, the robes were also shattered into pieces.
But even so, Qi Xiuyuan was very surprised. This robe actually worked! And the effect was so good!
Unlike his surprise, Shen Yichuan was obviously dissatisfied when he saw the broken robes. "The effect of this robe is too weak."
Qi Xiuyuan: "..."
He really wanted to say, "Be content. If you release this robe, it will probably attract countless Martial Lords and Martial Emperors. They all have to go through tribulations, and going through tribulations is a very scary thing."
However, Qi Xiuyuan didn't say anything in the end because another robe was thrown at him.
"Put it on quickly, there are only a few left, I hope I can make it through."
Qi Xiuyuan was silent for two seconds, then asked, "How many more robes like this do you have?"
Shen Yichuan thought the other party was worried that there were not enough robes, and said in frustration: "We refined too few at the time, and only prepared ten. Sigh."
Qi Xiuyuan: "..."
How unconfident this person is about his ability to overcome the tribulation that he actually prepared so many things!
Thirty-five thunderbolts descended, and Shen Yichuan's robes were also exhausted. And now, dark clouds gathered above their heads, and it seemed as if countless rages were roaring in the thunder, vowing to strike the two people below to death. Shen Yichuan's face was very ugly.
Qi Xiuyuan said calmly, "You shouldn't have given me the robe just now."
When the last thunder tribulation struck, Qi Xiuyuan said that he would no longer use the robes and asked Shen Yichuan to keep two to deal with the last two thunder tribulations, but he refused.
Shen Yichuan shook his head. "What are you talking about? We are here to overcome the calamity together. How can I have two things but not give you one? This is the last one, just grit your teeth and get through it."
Qi Xiuyuan looked at Chen Yichuan deeply, said nothing, and moved to the side. If they separated, the power of the thunder tribulation would be smaller.
But this is also relative.
Then, Qi Xiuyuan saw that Shen Yichuan took a lot of magic tools and placed them on his head. They were densely packed and formed the shape of an "umbrella".
Qi Xiuyuan: "..."
How much preparation did this person make to survive the thunder tribulation?
Also, how afraid of death this person is!
Rumble and crackle, the thunder tribulation is still brewing.
Still feeling his preparations weren't enough, Shen Yichuan continued throwing magical weapons at his head. These weapons were almost exhausting his stock! If it weren't for the inheritance, if it weren't for the bet with Fatty Zhou that gave him so many good things, he probably wouldn't be able to consume them like this!
The last thunder finally fell, crackling, and all the magic weapons above Shen Yichuan's head exploded, but in the end, they blocked a lot of the power of the thunder tribulation.
The rest of it hit Shen Yichuan's head.
Hiss... It hurts so much that Shen Yichuan's face is distorted.
Half an hour later, the sky cleared up and the depressed and angry thunderclouds had dispersed. Shen Yichuan lay on the ground like a dead man, motionless.
It's not that he was seriously injured, it's that he didn't want to move at all.
Qi Xiuyuan looked at Shen Yichuan, who had become like this after being hit by a thunder tribulation, with disdain, and said expressionlessly: "It's time to get the key."
Shen Yichuan remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
