So, the junior disciple is now sharing the tribulation lightning for the senior disciple?
Having confirmed this, Lin Daozi finally felt somewhat relieved.
Lu Shenzhi had just woken up and hadn't had time to recover. Encountering the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lightning at this moment was no laughing matter.
Now that his two disciples could shoulder the burden together, he could finally relax a little. It was just that his youngest disciple would have to work hard; she had truly gone to great lengths for her senior brother's sake.
Now that his eldest disciple has awakened, Lin Daozi is already thinking about what good things to give to his junior disciple as a reward.
At that moment, lightning struck the spot where Lu Shenzhi was hiding, penetrating the top layer of soil and falling straight into the room.
Shi Xuan couldn't help but think that, as expected, one cannot escape heavenly lightning indoors.
The first bolt of lightning was quite merciful; it was only as thick as an arm and pale in color, so its power was not great. When it reached the two of them, it split into two, and the force of the lightning that struck them was negligible.
Rather than calling it a tribulation of lightning, it's more accurate to describe it as a harbinger of impending doom.
Perhaps even Heaven felt it was unfair to strike down a newly awakened vegetative patient.
For Lu Shenzhi, even a small amount of lightning tribulation was quite beneficial. Therefore, the two of them easily withstood the first lightning tribulation, showing no signs of a Nascent Soul stage tribulation.
Then came the second and third lightning tribulations, both of which were of similar power. Lu Shenzhi laughed and said, "If my lightning tribulations continue to be this intense, wouldn't all these preparations have been for nothing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly became even thicker.
Lin Daozi, who had been watching them from a distance, frowned. Judging from the situation, the fourth lightning tribulation was definitely not comparable to the first three.
Shi Xuan had been keeping a wisp of her divine sense observing the outside world. Seeing the thick tribulation clouds, she shrugged and said, "Senior Brother, you really are a jinx. Good things never come true, but bad things always do."
This lightning bolt was more than twice as thick as the previous one, and its color was also significantly darker. When it struck, its power was also doubled, instantly scorching the two people to a crisp.
Fortunately, both of them possessed lightning spiritual roots, making them very close to and able to absorb the lightning spiritual power within them.
Leaving aside Shi Xuan, after the first three lightning tribulations, Lu Shenzhi was not only unharmed, but his own lack of agility was also greatly improved, and he felt much better than when he first woke up.
However, this fourth bolt of lightning was a bit too sudden for him. The sudden influx of so much lightning spiritual power made him feel somewhat strained, even with his own lightning spiritual power.
In contrast, Shi Xuan remained calm, clearly indicating that these bolts of lightning were not a significant burden for her.
Seeing that her senior brother had begun to meditate with his eyes closed during the fourth tribulation, she realized that the coma he had been in for more than ten years had really had a significant impact on him.
"Senior Brother, here you go." Shi Xuan took out a bottle of pills and tossed it to Lu Shenzhi.
Lu Shenzhi opened his eyes and took it, asking with his eyes what it was.
"Swift Return Pill, used to accelerate the circulation of spiritual energy."
Lu Shenzhi, without suspicion, took out a pill and swallowed it. A moment later, he indeed felt that the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be more active, and the speed of its flow through his meridians was also getting faster and faster. The distance that he could normally cover in a quarter of an hour could now be covered three times in a quarter of an hour after taking this pill!
It was indeed very effective. With the help of this pill, he dealt with the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning much more easily.
But the heavenly lightning seemed to have its own ideas. At first, it would become stronger with every three strikes, but after thirty strikes, each strike would be thicker and darker in color than the previous one, with a stronger sense of oppression.
Lin Daozi, who was watching from a distance, could no longer sit still. He soared into the air and stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance with worry for his two precious disciples.
At this moment, all the disciples, elders, and even the sect leader of the Lianfeng Sword Sect were alerted and came out.
"Who is undergoing tribulation in the back mountain? That can't be right. Judging from the location, it seems to be a forbidden area in the back mountain. Could it be that a disciple was punished and sent there to reflect on his mistakes, and suddenly had an epiphany?"
"Does our sect currently have anyone undergoing tribulation? Is this the Golden Core Tribulation?"
"More than thirty strikes have already been delivered; it looks like he's at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
"Who's forming their Nascent Soul? Didn't the few people who were close to forming their Nascent Soul recently all go to the outer realms? Where in our sect are there any disciples who are about to form their Nascent Soul?"
"Could it be that a disciple from an outer sect went to our forbidden area in the back mountain to form a Nascent Soul? This matter must be reported to the sect leader."
"The sect leader already knows. Look to your left and see who that is."
"Even if I didn't say anything, the sect leader would definitely know who is forming their Nascent Soul."
...
The sect leader they were talking about was currently standing close to Lin Daozi, looking at his solemn expression, and made a bold guess.
"Could it be... that he's awake?" Shi Mingxiu asked tentatively.
Previously, Shi Mingxiu couldn't mention Lu Shenzhi's name in front of Lin Daozi, but recently, after observing Lin Daozi, he felt that this situation seemed to have improved. He didn't know that Lin Daozi had already seen Lu Shenzhi's soul, and his worries about him had largely subsided.
Lin Daozi glanced at Shi Mingxiu, then immediately turned back to stare at the direction of the tribulation clouds, and replied, "It's him, he's awake."
Shi Mingxiu was overjoyed. Lu Shenzhi, who had been in a coma for more than ten years, had actually woken up at this moment!
You must know that before Shi Xuan, Lu Shenzhi was the most rare genius of their Lianfeng Sword Sect. He had already mastered the Lianfeng Sword Technique to the ninth level before he fell into a coma. More than ten years have passed since then, and no disciple of their Lianfeng Sword Sect has ever mastered the Lianfeng Sword Technique to the ninth level!
Therefore, Lu Shenzhi's awakening was not only a joyous occasion for Lin Daozi, but also for the entire sect. They had gained another promising disciple! They were already showing signs of leadership among the six sects in the Qian Yuan Western Region, and with Lu Shenzhi's arrival, their confidence was further strengthened.
Moreover, this child didn't forget to cultivate even while unconscious, and he started forming his Nascent Soul as soon as he woke up!
Lin Daozi looked at his delighted expression, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then gave up.
Forget it, the sect leader doesn't need to worry about it.
Shih Ming-hsiu continued speaking.
"If we had known he was about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, we should have prepared for him. How could we have let him face this Nascent Soul tribulation alone?" After his initial joy, Shi Mingxiu began to worry.
Lin Daozi sighed and comforted him, "It should be alright, Xuan'er is with him." It was unclear whether he was comforting Shi Mingxiu or himself.
"It'll be alright!" the two said in unison.
At this moment, fifty bolts of heavenly lightning had already descended.
Lu Shenzhi had already used defensive magic artifacts and was consuming Rejuvenation Pills one after another, putting him in a very peculiar state.
On the one hand, he seemed more energetic and agile than before. On the other hand, the relentless onslaught of heavenly lightning was proving extremely difficult for him to withstand, requiring considerable effort to catch.
