The tribulation clouds in the sky paused for a moment, and gradually the central vortex began to turn purplish-black, and the clouds pressed down even lower.
After more than ten minutes, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a dazzling white light, mixed with purplish-black lightning bolts thicker than trees.
The lightning bolts struck straight at Jian Ning's Baihui acupoint. This time, nine bolts of tribulation lightning were intertwined, clearly indicating that the lightning bolts wouldn't stop until Jian Ning was killed.
"Are you sore losers? That's a foul!"
Jian Ning dared not confront it head-on this time; the Heavenly Tribulation was against the rules, it was cheating. With a wave of her hand, she took out a large red umbrella from her storage bracelet and held it directly above her head.
This umbrella was a top-grade spiritual artifact. I didn't even have a chance to use it when I was undergoing my tribulation, because I was struck by lightning and died. It just so happens that I brought it out this time.
A massive bolt of lightning struck the large red umbrella with a deafening roar, tearing the canopy apart almost instantly.
The electric current flowed down the umbrella handle, making Jian Ning shudder and her hair instantly turn into an afro. A tingling sensation ran through her body.
That's great, it saves me the money for a perm.
There were thirty-six lightning bolts in total for the Golden Core Tribulation, and they have all struck by now, but they haven't done anything to Jian Ning. The dark clouds in the sky are reluctantly and slowly dispersing.
Jian Ning held her breath and looked inward. The golden core became even more rounded and translucent, and the spiritual energy on it began to emit a golden light.
Today I have achieved the Golden Core, and I am now invincible in this world. I wanted to roar to the sky, but then I thought better of it. There are people down the mountain, and there are also troops stationed there. I shouldn't frighten them.
He turned around and waved his hand, erasing all the traces on the ground. Then he flew down the mountain on his sword.
Just as they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they encountered Xiao Lingfeng, who was rushing up the mountain.
"Jian Ning, you were the one who made that commotion just now, weren't you? Are you undergoing tribulation?"
Although Xiao Lingfeng was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he could tell at a glance that her aura was significantly different from when she first came out.
"Yes, it's a tribulation. I've already entered the Golden Core stage, so you'd better work hard. Don't let me leave you too far behind."
Jian Ning smiled. She was in a particularly good mood.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best. Let's go home." Xiao Lingfeng reached out and helped Jian Ning smooth out her frizzy hair.
Just now, it suddenly got dark down at the foot of the mountain, followed by a series of loud claps of thunder.
Although he had also experienced the tribulation lightning of the Foundation Establishment stage, it was not even in the same league as the one just now.
Seeing Jian Ning's unfathomable aura, he felt an immense longing in his heart. Even without Jian Ning saying anything, he wanted to strive to catch up and reach the Golden Core stage as soon as possible.
But this isn't something you can catch up to in a year or two; everyone's opportunities and luck are different. This is something you can't just envy.
The two slowly walked back the rest of the way. The mountain path was rugged, and as far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white, a place most people would never know.
Where should you put your feet? But these two people walk around without getting a speck of dust on them.
Their footprints were invisible on the snow; it was as if they were flying on the snow, as light as a feather.
Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered Company Commander Huang, who had led a small team to investigate.
"You just came down from the mountain, did you find anything?" Upon seeing Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning coming down from the mountain, Company Commander Huang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Xiao Lingfeng's abilities; with him around, nothing serious would happen.
"It's nothing, the mountaintop is deserted, it's just a sudden celestial anomaly. It's a pity there's no one from the meteorological bureau right now, so I don't know why it's just thundering but not raining!"
Xiao Lingfeng had no intention of telling the truth. Anyway, it was just Jian Ning on the mountain just now. Even if others suspected something, they would never imagine that someone was undergoing tribulation.
"It's good that no one is around. I'm just worried that this isn't a natural celestial phenomenon. If it's man-made, then that would be troublesome."
Company Commander Huang looked up at the bright red sun in the sky. The way the dark clouds had covered the sky had really startled him.
Now that things have returned to normal, there's no need to go up. He called to the soldiers to turn around and led Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning back to the base.
When Jian Ning returned this time, she told Jian Anping during dinner that she was going into seclusion again, and it was uncertain when she would emerge. She also told him that if there were any family matters that he couldn't resolve, he should discuss them with Xiao Lingfeng.
Then, together with Huang Fugui, they entered the Immortal Abode and went to the Treasure Pavilion first. She needed to get full-body armor to get through the fourth level's fierce winds. Otherwise, exploring downwards little by little would be far too dangerous.
The treasure pavilion is filled with many wonderful items. Rows of antique shelves display weapons, swords, spears, halberds, and all sorts of magical artifacts, as well as talismans and armor.
However, there are restrictions above, and Fifth Glazed Tile's token can only obtain some low-quality items. It can be seen that her original status in this sect was not very high.
Jian Ning's eyes gleamed as she walked, treasuring the Dragon Abyss Sword, the Soul-Devouring Blade, the Seven-Star Dragon-Binding Lock...
With so many wonderful things, once she completely controls the Immortal Abode, they will all be hers. Just thinking about it makes her incredibly happy.
She walked all the way to the display shelf inside, which was dedicated to storing armor. The names on the shelves were varied, such as chainmail, dragon bone armor, and black tortoise armor. She immediately took a liking to the purple-gold dragon scale armor in the very center.
Just by the name, this armor must be more than capable of withstanding strong winds. Dragon scales are so hard, what wind could possibly cut through its body?
That's impressive. Even if the restrictions on it can't be broken, it doesn't matter. Jian Ning took out two large hammers from her storage bracelet.
She started smashing things, and since there was no one else around, she could break all the restrictions in the entire treasure pavilion without anyone caring.
After several hundred hammer blows, the milky-white light shield finally began to crack. Jian Ning then swung the hammer again, turning the cracks on the light shield into a spiderweb pattern, but it still wouldn't break.
She refused to believe it; it was practically within her grasp. The purplish-gold light of the armor inside shone through the cracks.
So another twenty hammer blows were swung, and finally a cracking sound was heard as the entire barrier shattered, revealing the armor underneath.
Jian Ning picked it up and saw that it was a set of Heavenly Grade Spiritual Artifacts. It was cool to the touch and, although it was made of purple-gold, it was exceptionally soft.
I really like it.
She quickly pricked her fingertip and dripped three drops of blood onto the armor. Suddenly, the armor shone brightly with purple light, flew from Jian Ning's hand, landed directly on her body, and after a few flashes of light, disappeared into her body.
With such a treasure,
Her own strength has greatly improved, and she is now immune to all poisons. She refuses to believe that she still can't pass the fourth level.
