For Lin Daozi, this tribulation was much easier than he had imagined, all thanks to his junior disciple.
Not only did they prepare many pills and magical artifacts for him before the tribulation began, but they also created a buffer for him every few lightning bolts during the process of the heavenly lightning striking. How could there be such a thoughtful little disciple in this world!
Thinking of the envious looks from the sect leaders and elders of the other sects during the Six Sects Grand Competition, Lin Daozi felt a surge of satisfaction.
He ate another Dao Seal Rejuvenation Pill prepared for him by his disciple, and the tribulation made him feel relaxed and content.
The interval between five lightning bolts has been reduced to four. Although Lin Daozi has been struck by the Refining Void Lightning Tribulation and is covered in tatters, suffering numerous internal and external injuries, the threat posed by this Refining Void Lightning Tribulation to him seems to be no less than that of his Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation.
It should be understood that the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the greater the risk during tribulation; each time it is a matter of life and death.
Before undergoing this tribulation, Lin Daozi prepared a large amount of supplies for himself, as this was a matter of life and death.
Since the last time he saw his eldest disciple, his inner knot was suddenly untied, and he showed signs of a breakthrough. However, he endured it for so long, partly because he needed to make more preparations.
Who would have thought that his youngest disciple would be his greatest source of security!
Lin Daozi thought to himself: It must be a stroke of luck for him to have such a disciple.
The heavenly lightning continued, and Shi Xuan seemed to grow stronger with each strike. She appeared to have adapted to the intensity of the lightning, or perhaps she had become more skilled through practice. She quickly mastered the frequency of four strikes of heavenly lightning at intervals.
When the sixtieth bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Lin Daozi could no longer rely on his bare hands and some pills to sustain himself, so he took out the defensive magic artifact he had prepared.
Use your own first, and if you don't finish using them all, you can return the ones the junior disciple prepared for him.
In this way, the sect leaders who were watching the spectacle could see the situation more clearly.
Each time Shi Xuan enters, the two of them can withstand the heavenly lightning without any protection. If it is only Lin Daozi, he will set up a defensive magic artifact.
Although his magical artifact was of a high grade, it could not withstand the violent blows of the Heavenly Lightning of the Void Refinement stage for more than a few hits before being damaged.
If it gets damaged, he takes out another one, and repeats this process.
One bolt of lightning after another, growing ever thicker, and Lin Daozi destroyed more and more magical artifacts. In the end, each artifact could only withstand one bolt of lightning before being destroyed. Even a powerful figure like Lin Daozi, with his profound knowledge and experience, couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
With so many magical artifacts, what could have been done with them? Give them to the young disciple to play with; she would have been so happy. Instead, they were smashed like this.
Lin Daozi decided to collect all the damaged magical artifacts, and after returning home, he would ask his junior disciple to help him repair them. Once repaired, he would give them to her to play with.
Ten more bolts of heavenly lightning struck, and Lin Daozi had no time to think about anything else. The power of the heavenly lightning had become so great that even he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After the seventieth bolt of heavenly lightning, Shi Xuan's frequency of entering the lightning zone changed from every four bolts to every five bolts, simply because the power of the heavenly lightning was too great, and Shi Xuan had to spend more time digesting and absorbing it.
The situation became even more difficult for both the master and apprentice.
Lin Daozi swallowed even more pills, and the magical artifacts he had prepared were soon running out.
Shi Xuan also started taking Rejuvenation Pills, which would help her recover faster after being struck by lightning.
Even so, her frequency slowed down further, and she gradually couldn't even guarantee a five-beat interval anymore.
Even if all things are vibrant and active to the extreme, they still cannot be fully absorbed in a short period of time.
Shi Xuan felt his meridians were swollen and painful. As they were broken and healed, and with the excessive spiritual energy constantly pushing them outward, the width of Shi Xuan's meridians rapidly expanded and became stronger.
Finally, after the eighty bolts of heavenly lightning had been struck, it seemed to pause. In the tribulation clouds above, even more powerful heavenly lightning slowly gathered, as if telling the one undergoing tribulation that what came before was child's play and that he was about to face a greater threat!
It seems that Lin Daozi's Refining Void Thunder Tribulation consists of eighty-one tribulations.
And this last dish is exactly what Shi Xuan should have entered.
Looking at the dark mass in the sky, with the lightning bolts gathering and growing thicker and darker, Shi Xuan thought to himself, "Forget it. It's the last bolt, so it doesn't matter if I don't get hit. I've already gotten hit by all the others before."
She also felt that her cultivation level was already at the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, and she could advance to the next level with just a little bit of opportunity.
Having already advanced a small rank, Shi Xuan had no intention of rushing forward.
Finally, the last bolt of lightning in the sky appeared after gathering for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
It seemed to hesitate for a moment before falling, lingering in the air for two breaths.
Shi Xuan no longer intended to go in. She sat outside the tribulation clouds, looking at her master with some nervousness.
This bolt of lightning is more than half again as thick as the previous one; I wonder if Master can withstand it.
Judging from his master's current condition, Shi Xuan judged that at most he was just more seriously injured, but not in mortal danger.
Lin Daozi, who was located in the very center of the tribulation clouds, had already prepared for the worst. He swallowed all the remaining Rejuvenation Pills at once, took a Great Rejuvenation Pill in advance to protect his heart meridian, and took out the Thunder-Attracting Pestle that Shi Xuan had prepared for him.
Everything is ready; all that's left is for the thunder to strike.
The last bolt of lightning paused in mid-air, seemingly hesitating about something.
A moment later, it suddenly poured down.
However, unlike what was expected, it did not strike Lin Daozi directly, but split in two. One half landed on Lin Daozi, while the other half went straight for Shi Xuan, who was sitting outside!
The lightning was too fast. Before Shi Xuan could react, take a pill, or take out a protective magic weapon, he was struck by the lightning!
"Xuan'er!" Lin Daozi exclaimed in shock.
He was well prepared, but he only withstood half the power of the heavenly lightning, and this half of the heavenly lightning did not cause much damage to the target.
On the contrary, Shi Xuan was struck by such a powerful heavenly lightning bolt when she was completely unprepared. That was the last heavenly lightning bolt for the Void Refinement stage! Even if it was only half of the bolt, she was only a Golden Core cultivator!
It seems that after Shi Xuan frequently entered the area, the heavenly lightning locked onto Shi Xuan's aura and felt that half of it had to be struck. This is why Shi Xuan was unexpectedly chased and struck by the heavenly lightning even though he was outside the tribulation clouds.
Lin Daozi rushed out and ran to Shi Xuan, not even bothering to look at him. At this moment, the tribulation clouds had dispersed, and the sky was slowly revealing clear light.
Lin Daozi stuffed two Great Rejuvenation Pills into Shi Xuan's mouth. She looked very bad; her whole body was charred black, her internal meridians were completely damaged, and even her breathing was very weak.
