Chapter 116 Under the Thunder
Liu Yishu had not expected that a single calamity would attract so many cultivators. It was all because Xu Weichen's calamity had been brewing for too long and the scale of the event was too huge. It was possible that it was 'it' that was to blame.
However, a large formation also has its advantages. At least when seeing such a formation, those immortal cultivators who were attracted here only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to get close at all.
Liu Yishu also retreated far away. After all, he had just plotted against 'it' twice, and it was hard to guarantee whether 'it' would take revenge and take the opportunity to chop him.
Liu Yishu took advantage of the fact that the cultivators attracted by the thunder were all paying attention to Xu Weichen, and quietly hid himself among the many cultivators.
Although he is not afraid of these people, after Xu Weichen has passed the thunder tribulation, he still has to go through the inner demon tribulation. He needs to come forward to intimidate these people, so that no one will have any bad intentions.
Therefore, before Xu Weichen overcomes his inner tribulation, he'd better conserve his energy.
After brewing for most of the day, the thunder finally struck down, one after another, as if it would not stop until Xu Weichen was turned into ashes.
This time, the lightning-attracting magic weapon refined by Liu Yishu finally came in handy. After being struck by more than a dozen lightning bolts, Xu Weichen took it out and used it.
However, the power of the thunder tribulation in the Void Refinement Stage is countless times greater than that in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Each cage can only withstand one thunder tribulation before being struck to pieces. Some of the residual power may even strike Xu Weichen.
But even so, it shocked the immortal cultivators present.
"What on earth is that cage-like magical weapon that can actually attract lightning?"
"If there is such a magic weapon, what is there to fear from the thunder? No wonder Xu Weichen was able to survive the thunder tribulation so easily. It seems to be just the magic weapon's work!"
"He took out another one! If he has many magical instruments like this, then wouldn't this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation be a piece of cake for him?!"
"It would be great if I had a magic weapon like this!"
The immortal cultivators who were watching were talking about it, most of their attention was on the lightning-attracting magic weapon, and they were all extremely excited.
Liu Yishu curled his lips after listening to their discussion. Xu Weichen did not use any magic weapon to overcome the tribulation. He was fully capable of resisting the thunderbolt on his own at that time. He just took out the magic weapon at the last moment to test its power.
As for the tribulation thunder of Lianxu, the reason why he used magic weapon was probably because the tribulation thunder attracted too many immortal cultivators, and he was also worried that someone would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack after he passed the tribulation, so he used magic weapon. In fact, he would draw the tribulation thunder to strengthen his body every time it struck.
Perhaps there are very few cultivators on the Suzaku Continent who know that, although thunder is terrible, it is also very beneficial, and the time when one goes through thunder tribulation is also the best time to strengthen the body.
If there is no thunder to temper the body, even if the cultivation level is improved, the body's strength cannot keep up and it is easy to be blown up by spiritual energy.
It’s just that the current cultivators in Suzaku Continent have not reached a high level of cultivation, so they have no chance to know these things, but Xu Weichen must have noticed it.
Liu Yishu was very satisfied with this, and felt that she was worthy of being the person he had his eyes on.
As the thunderbolts struck again and again, Xu Weichen's body became stronger.
Liu Yishu has been counting the number of thunderbolts. Generally speaking, the thunderbolts at different levels of immortal cultivators are all counted, with nine as the base number. For example, the Golden Core stage faces thirty-nine small thunderbolts, the Nascent Soul stage faces forty-nine, the Spirit Transformation stage faces fifty-nine, and as for the Refining Void stage, it is sixty-nine, and so on. By analogy, when it comes to the final Tribulation Crossing stage, there are exactly ninety-nine and eighty-one thunderbolts.
But this is just an ordinary situation. Xu Weichen is currently going through an extraordinary thunder tribulation.
Liu Yishu also didn't believe that after such a long period of foreplay, 'it' would only strike Xu Weichen fifty-four times. This was indeed the case. After striking fifty-four times, the calamity clouds in the sky did not dissipate, but became darker and thicker, striking even harder.
"That's not right. Shouldn't there be fifty-four thunders of the Refining Void Tribulation? Why are they still striking?" A cultivator who had noticed something was wrong also asked this question.
"I counted, too. It's already exceeded fifty-nine!"
"Could it be that Xu Weichen is going to pass through the sixty-ninth level? This is unprecedented! When the Red Flame Ancestor passed through the tribulation, it seemed that he only passed through the fifty-ninth level!"
When Liu Yishu heard someone mention the Old Ancestor Chi Yan, he just happened to sense the old man Chi Yan's aura, and he was actually coming here.
The short and small Chiyan Ancestor actually came here. Liu Yishu sneered in his heart and locked his spiritual consciousness on him.
It’s good that it’s coming. If Xu Weichen’s thunder tribulation this time is really the worst possibility he expected, he can just use the Suzaku Seal.
During the days that Patriarch Chi Yan was hiding outside, he was always worried that Xu Weichen and his mysterious disciple would come to visit him.
The existence of that person was like a knife hanging around his neck, and he had no intention of fighting against him.
But right here, Wan Shi Zhi spread the news that Xu Weichen was going to pass the Refining Void Tribulation.
Naturally, the Red Flame Ancestor gnashed his teeth in hatred for this.
How could Xu Weichen survive the Refining Void Tribulation? It was because of that person. If he was right, the reason why Xu Weichen was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the end of his lifespan and then break through to the Spiritualization stage was all due to that person.
He was madly jealous of Xu Weichen's good fortune.
Xu Weichen wants to overcome the tribulation, so they probably won't look for him until he succeeds. But if Xu Weichen really succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, his death will not be far away.
Ancestor Chi Yan was the first person to notice the strange phenomenon in the Sea of Despair, but due to various concerns, he did not dare to get close.
However, he was unwilling to watch Xu Weichen successfully overcome the tribulation, so after discovering that many cultivators were rushing to that place, he quietly approached.
He approached with a purpose and soon discovered Liu Yishu among the many cultivators.
He was afraid of Liu Yishu, but the level of cultivation that Liu Yishu revealed made him feel doubtful and hopeful. There were many cultivators here, so he could use them to test him.
Even if the test failed, Xu Weichen was undergoing a tribulation. As long as he ran fast enough, Liu Yishu would not abandon Xu Weichen and chase him.
Thinking this in his mind, he performed a shape-changing spell and began his speech.
"Are we just going to watch Xu Weichen pass through the tribulation? If he were to pass through such a terrible tribulation, how high would his cultivation level be? With the previous experience of the Suzaku Dynasty, are we going to have another mountain of oppression on our heads?"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people near him to hear, and he deliberately stood near several elders who came from sect families.
"My fellow Taoist has a point, but if you get close to such a terrifying thunderbolt, you will probably be struck into ashes. Do you dare to get close?" An elder of the sect asked bluntly.
"This thunder is so dangerous that I naturally dare not get close to it, but Xu Weichen is in the center of the thunder and he must not dare to be distracted. Doesn't he have a beloved disciple? His disciple is also here, and his cultivation is low. If we can control his disciple and use it to threaten him, as long as he cares about his beloved disciple, he will not be able to survive this thunder!" said the Red Flame Ancestor maliciously.
