The golden-red, shrunken dragon bone appeared in Shi Xuan's palm, heavy and gleaming with a moist sheen.
Shi Xuan finally repeated the action he had taken when he first entered, covering the dragon bone with his spiritual power.
Perhaps because of the contract with Hong Chi, this dragon bone felt somewhat close to Shi Xuan and offered no resistance. It was refined by Shi Xuan and became his protective magic weapon—or rather, an incomplete divine artifact.
Shi Xuan thought that if he had the ability in the future, he would definitely refine this rare dragon bone again.
When the dragon bone was completely refined, a large amount of spiritual power once again surged into Shi Xuan's body. This time, it came from the power of the dragon bone itself.
Shi Xuan had just formed her Nascent Soul and was already at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. She didn't want to advance too quickly all at once. She preferred to solidify her cultivation level layer by layer, refining each level to its limit before moving on to the next stage.
With such a strong foundation, the higher levels of cultivation will be more stable.
Having gone through a cultivation process, Shi Xuan gained a profound understanding.
In the path of cultivation, the further one progresses, the more the foundation laid in the early stages is tested.
Those cultivators who only think about advancing quickly will eventually end up like castles in the air, seemingly high above others, but their cultivation is shaky and easily destroyed.
Shi Xuan kept suppressing and compressing the spiritual power in her dantian, directing it downwards to avoid impacting the barrier to advancement.
Her foundation was tamped so hard that her lower abdomen swelled and ached.
However, the power of this dragon bone was greater than that of a fire source bead. Despite her best efforts to suppress her cultivation, she still advanced a small level after refining the dragon bone.
Seeing that she had refined the dragon bone but only improved her cultivation by such a small amount, Hong Chi frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! So dull!"
Her voice was so incongruous with her appearance.
Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, put the remaining dragon bones into Silver Frost, and then turned to Hong Chi with a smile, saying, "I'm very satisfied. Thank you, Senior Hong Chi!"
The only response she received was a loud "humph".
Shi Xuan pursed her lips. She wondered where this senior got her habit of humming. Could it be that her name was "Humchi" and she was too embarrassed to say it, so she changed it to Hong Chi?
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hong Chi said displeasedly, "What are you laughing at!"
"Ahem," Shi Xuan suppressed a laugh and replied, "It's nothing, I just think your name is very majestic and imposing!"
Even though Hong Chi had been trapped for ten thousand years, she could still see that Shi Xuan was lying to her.
So he glared at Shi Xuan and gave her another loud "humph"!
This made Shi Xuan laugh again.
To hide her expression, she changed the subject, saying, "Are you ready, senior? We're going out!"
Hong Chi looked extremely impatient: "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up!"
Despite saying that, Shi Xuan could sense from the connection between the two that she was very excited.
"Then you should be prepared, senior. The heavenly lightning will come as soon as I leave."
Hong Chi remained impatient: "A mere tribulation of lightning, humph."
Alright, since she said so, Shi Xuan adjusted himself to his best state and led her back to the vortex they had come from.
The entrance at this time is quite different from when Shi Xuan came.
The greatest spiritual energy shock at the moment of Hong Chi's self-destruction has passed, and with the remaining dragon bones also taken away by Shi Xuan, the shape of the exit has now shrunk from a circle to an ellipse, and there is no longer as much spiritual energy surging outward.
Shi Xuan estimated that given time, the hole that was blown open by the dragon's self-destruction would heal itself.
Even after emerging from the cave entrance, deep within the great rift, she could feel the tribulation clouds rapidly gathering above her head, as if preparing a grand welcoming ceremony for her.
There is still a large amount of fire elemental energy in this rift, which is not much different from when Shi Xuan came in.
However, due to Hong Chi, the spiritual energy seemed to have opened a back door for her, no longer posing any threat to her, and becoming very docile and obedient.
Shi Xuan took two steps forward, the thick tribulation clouds following him like a shadow, clinging to him tightly.
In this deep valley, there is nothing but cracked rocks and dried lava, but spiritual energy is abundant. If one is dealing with the Nascent Soul Tribulation, it is safer to stay in this valley than to go ashore.
Besides the abundant spiritual energy, no one else dares to come down here, and even the need for a protector is eliminated. It is the most suitable place for her to undergo tribulation.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan stopped at the bottom of the valley and began to set up a defensive array. She wrapped the defensive array with a spirit-gathering array, using all the spiritual energy in the rift as power, so she didn't have to worry about the array's spiritual energy running out.
Shi Xuan was enveloped in a dense aura of fire spirit, making it difficult to see her face from a distance.
The calamity clouds were gathering thicker and thicker, so dense that they seemed about to fall and crush Shi Xuan.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the dark tribulation clouds were finally ready.
Shi Xuan looked helplessly at the sky, which was now as dark as night, and thought to himself: What grudge do they hold against me? They think too highly of me!
Hong Chi also made two "tsk tsk" sounds in Shi Xuan's divine sense, as if even the divine dragon thought her posture was a bit intimidating.
The lightning that surged within the dark clouds finally condensed and struck down with its first beam.
The light purple lightning, not very dark in color and only as thick as a wrist, struck Shi Xuan without causing any pain or itch. It didn't resemble a tribulation lightning strike at the Nascent Soul stage at all, let alone under such intimidating thick black clouds.
It's a bit like all talk and no action.
Hong Chi clicked his tongue twice again, this time expressing disdain: "Is that all?" Was this all there was to it? Did they really need to be so prepared? Did they really need to set up formations and prepare magical artifacts and pills?
But Shi Xuan knew that Lei Guan liked to use appetizers to lower people's guard.
really.
The second lightning bolt was more than twice the size of the first, and its color was also much darker.
One after another, the light emanating from the defensive arrays grew brighter and brighter with each passing moment.
Although Shi Xuan is only a Nascent Soul cultivator, he has a great deal of experience in undergoing tribulations.
Leaving aside the tribulations of her past life, within the Lianfeng Sword Sect alone, she had participated in every single one of her senior brothers' Golden Core tribulations, her master's Void Refining tribulations, and her eldest senior brother's Nascent Soul tribulations.
The current propaganda could probably be summarized into a book called "A Guide to Overcoming Tribulations".
The lightning struck forty-nine times, each one stronger than the last.
The defensive array blocked part of the attack, and Shi Xuan skillfully channeled the remaining energy into his body to temper his meridians and physical form.
She discovered that if she activated the Sacred Bone Technique during the tribulation of lightning, she could also gain great benefits.
