Where's my tribulation lightning cloud?!

Ling Ju was beyond words at Jing Pu's shock.

Tribulation Crossing clouds and lightning!!

This was the power of heaven and earth!!

Tribulation Crossing, what is Tribulation Crossing? On the entire Lower Realm continent, Tribulation Crossing could be said to be a mountain for cultivators, a leap over the dragon gate. Crossing it offered a chance to challenge the Mahayana stage, or even Ascension to the Upper Realm.

But if one failed Tribulation Crossing, they would be stuck at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage for the rest of their lives.

And the reason for failure in Tribulation Crossing was the violent power of heaven and earth contained within the Tribulation Crossing clouds and lightning. If one could endure it, they would succeed; if not, they would be at least severely injured, or worse, perish directly.

Such violent energy, and now... it actually retreated with a casual curse from a Senior?!!

Senior... what exactly was the Senior's strength? It was completely unfathomable!!!

At this moment, the thunderclouds were rapidly dissipating, and the sun's rays gradually filled the heavens and earth. Jing Pu looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, frowned slightly, and muttered:

"Is this weather sick? It suddenly came like this, and then it suddenly left..."

As Jing Pu cursed again, the thunderclouds that were already retreating rapidly did so even faster. In less than three seconds, the black thunderclouds that had blotted out the sun vanished in an instant.

Ling Ju looked at the clear sky and swallowed hard. Soon, Ling Ju reacted. Regardless of the weather, Senior had suddenly dispersed this Tribulation Crossing lightning cloud, preventing the Demonic Creature from crossing its tribulation... didn't that mean Senior was going to intervene?

Thinking of this, Ling Ju felt a surge of excitement. As expected of the Senior she respected, how could Senior possibly ignore such a matter? Senior was such a kind person, how could they bear to watch this world fall into ruin?

Immediately, Ling Ju turned back and looked at Jing Pu, who was strangely staring at the sky, and said:

"Senior, these thunderclouds were condensed by that Demonic Creature's Tribulation Crossing. That Demonic Creature must be here. I've already sensed the general location of the Demonic Creature. Shall we go find and kill it now?"

Demonic Creature??

Tribulation Crossing??

Jing Pu suddenly had a moment of realization. No wonder... these thunderclouds were so strange. But...

Jing Pu raised an eyebrow. Tribulation Crossing versus Golden Core stage... which was more powerful??

Jing Pu had only been here for a week. He hadn't studied the realms of cultivators, and more importantly, he couldn't cultivate, so why would he study it? Thus, he hadn't paid attention.

However... Jing Pu thought about it with his rear end and felt that the Tribulation Crossing stage must be more powerful than the Golden Core stage, right?

Could Ling Ju handle it... wasn't Ling Ju at the late Golden Core stage...

But Jing Pu thought again. Perhaps Ling Ju's "Tribulation Crossing" meant something else, not the Tribulation Crossing stage. For example, a cultivator's advancement could also be called Tribulation Crossing.

Anyway, seeing that Ling Ju wasn't scared at all and didn't look troubled, Jing Pu felt that this must be the case. With Ling Ju protecting him, what was there to be afraid of? He wasn't afraid of an ADC, so why should he, a support... no... to be precise, he wasn't even a minion, so what was there to be afraid of?

Jing Pu nodded indifferently and said:

"Of course, that sounds good. Let's hurry."

Although Jing Pu was not very familiar with the world of cultivators, he understood the Lower Realm continent he was on. This continent had three races: the Human Race, the Monster Race, and the Demon Race.

The Monster Race and the Human Race were allies, jointly resisting the powerful Demon Race. The Demon Race was bloodthirsty and often wiped out human villages or even entire towns.

If they were late, many people might die.

Jing Pu immediately slapped the Dragon Horse's hindquarters, and the Dragon Horse began to gallop at extreme speed. Its speed was incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, Jing Pu could already see the full view of Qinghe Town.

But the Demonic Creature was clearly not in Qinghe Town. The Dragon Horse continued to gallop forward.

Ling Ju was no longer afraid... because Ling Ju felt that since Senior had agreed to go, let alone a peak Spirit Transformation stage that hadn't even successfully crossed its tribulation, even if it had crossed, it wouldn't be Senior's opponent.

However... Ling Ju pondered carefully again. Senior's meaning seemed... not so simple...

If Senior truly wanted her to kill this Demonic Creature, with Senior's strength, the Demonic Creature would have died instantly from a thousand miles away just now.

But why did Senior only disperse the Tribulation Crossing lightning cloud...

After Ling Ju thought carefully for a while, she was suddenly startled. Senior meant for her to act!!

But could she do it... Ling Ju thought carefully. She was only at the late Golden Core stage. There were still Nascent Soul and Spirit Emergence between her and the peak Spirit Transformation stage. The gap was huge!

But Ling Ju thought carefully again... perhaps... there was really a tiny bit of a chance!

When a peak Spirit Transformation stage cultivator condenses the Tribulation Crossing clouds and lightning, their True Qi and Spiritual Power are instantly drained, leaving their body extremely weak.

Of course, no matter how weak a peak Spirit Transformation stage cultivator is, they can still crush a late Golden Core stage cultivator. However, Ling Ju thought, she possessed the divine artifact given by Senior, that palace fan.

Besides... Ling Ju felt that she didn't need to actually defeat the peak Spirit Transformation stage Demonic Creature. She only needed to stall for time.

The Tribulation Crossing lightning cloud that spanned over a hundred miles just now must have been known to the Divine Sword Sect. By now, their top experts must have been dispatched. She only needed to stall the peak Spirit Transformation stage Demonic Creature, wait for the experts from the Divine Sword Sect to arrive, and then cooperate to kill it.

Thinking of this, Ling Ju felt that this must be Senior's intention. This way, Senior wouldn't have to act, and the Demonic Creature would still be dealt with. It was a win-win situation.

She might get injured in the fight, but she wouldn't die. After all, Senior was with her. If she were in real mortal danger, Senior would definitely save her. Otherwise, why would Senior follow her? Senior would definitely protect her...

Thinking of this, Ling Ju's face turned red again, but she quickly regained her composure, because they had already arrived in a continuous mountain range.

Ling Ju could sense that the Demonic Creature was here, but she didn't know its exact location. They had to go in and search.

On the edge of these mountains, there were many ordinary people chopping wood or hunting. They were scrambling and fleeing in terror.

The Dragon Horse landed. As soon as these ordinary people saw Jing Pu and Ling Ju, especially their daoist robes and the flying Dragon Horse, they immediately surrounded them, fearfully recounting the terrifying scene they had just witnessed.

There were too many people, and they were all terrified. They spoke incoherently, but Ling Ju managed to understand one thing: the Demonic Creature was inside.

Ling Ju thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Jing Pu behind her and said:

"Senior, I'll go in by myself then. Could you help look after these mortals here?"

This was a test the Senior had set for her, so she should just go in. With the Senior's strength, if anything truly happened to her, she was sure the Senior would appear to save her immediately.

Even though Ling Ju hadn't even spent three days with Jing Pu, she now trusted him one hundred percent.

Jing Pu agreed without a second thought to Ling Ju's words. He then dismounted the Dragon Horse, thinking that he was nothing and shouldn't go in and cause trouble for Ling Ju.

After Jing Pu dismounted, he looked at Ling Ju, who was sitting on the Dragon Horse, and couldn't help but caution her:

"Be careful. If you can't handle it, just run."

Ling Ju nodded, then mounted the Dragon Horse, a cyan-blue longsword appearing in her hand. She immediately darted inside.

Meanwhile, within the mountain range, a pale figure stared at the sky, gritting his teeth and roaring furiously:

"Where's my Tribulation Crossing lightning cloud, damn it!!"
