Ao Li Shocked! Body Tempering With Lightning!

Chapter Sixteen: Ao Li's Shock! Body Tempering with Lightning

Not far away stood a towering ancient tree, nearly a hundred zhang tall!

The entire ancient tree exuded a powerful spiritual essence.

Its extraordinary Dao rhythm was undeniable, as if a flowing light continuously flickered and swirled upon it.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely precious natural treasure!

Tongtian's shock quickly turned to excitement.

It seemed his first gain from Buzhou Mountain had arrived!

He immediately strode forward, walking directly beneath the ancient tree. Tilting his head back, he saw two large characters carved into the thick trunk.

"Enlightenment!"

Both characters emanated a profound Dao rhythm, truly mysterious and unfathomable!

Tongtian guessed the origin of this great tree.

The Enlightenment Tree! One of the top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots!

It did not bear spiritual fruits, but it could cultivate Enlightenment Tea Leaves. As the name suggested, these leaves were for making tea.

Those who drank the tea could gain a significant boost in comprehension for a short period, and it could even lead to a moment of enlightenment.

It could be considered a very precious, top-tier spiritual root.

He hadn't expected to find it within Buzhou Mountain.

"This trip was truly worth it!"

"If I hadn't come to Buzhou Mountain and instead searched for the other two immortal islands, I might have ended up with nothing."

Tongtian sighed with emotion at this thought.

Such a top-tier spiritual root, now that he had encountered it, he certainly couldn't miss out.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.

Before the hundred-zhang ancient tree, the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda appeared incredibly small.

However, in the next moment, a surging power erupted from within.

Rumble!

Instantly, the entire ancient tree began to tremble. Then, its hundred-zhang tall form started to shrink. In just a moment, it became as tiny as the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda and was then taken inside.

Having successfully acquired a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, Tongtian was in a very good mood.

He continued to move forward.

Hoping to find more opportunities in Buzhou Mountain.

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.

Ao Li, who had been cultivating and recovering from her injuries within the pagoda, was now staring in shock at the top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Enlightenment Tree, which had just been brought in.

She didn't know the profound effects of the Enlightenment Tree, but she could tell from its immense spiritual essence that it was extraordinary.

A top-grade Innate Spiritual Root!

Without a doubt, this must be a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root!

Even in the vast Boundless Sea, it would be difficult to find many spiritual roots of this caliber.

And Tongtian had only just arrived at Buzhou Mountain not long ago.

He had already gained such a significant harvest?

"His fortune is astonishing! This fellow's fortune is truly immense."

"Just comparing fortunes, even Father is far inferior to him."

Thinking this, Ao Li's beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Tongtian was a man of great fortune, yet their Dragon Clan had completely offended such a powerful being.

As everyone knew, those with great fortune were destined to become powerful figures in the world.

Moreover, such individuals naturally possessed the ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

"There is such heavy Pangu's Pressure on Buzhou Mountain."

"Could he truly be a Pangu Sect Disciple? Otherwise, how could he ignore such pressure?"

Ao Li's heart filled with even more regret at this thought.

If she had known his origins and methods were so extraordinary, she wouldn't have been so careless and confronted him directly back then.

Fortunately, he seemed to treat her well and didn't force her.

Instead, he had even given her such a precious treasure as the Three Lights Divine Water.

This made Ao Li's feelings even more complicated.

On Buzhou Mountain.

After walking a distance, Tongtian stopped and gazed toward the distant mountaintop.

He saw vast swathes of thunderclouds suddenly gathering above the summit.

No, it wasn't just simple thunderclouds.

To be precise, it should be a tribulation!

Even from a great distance, Tongtian could feel the terrifying aura within it, an aura that could destroy heavens and earth, as if it were about to annihilate everything.

Without a doubt, a peerless treasure must have appeared on the mountaintop.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted something like a tribulation.

Since he had discovered this treasure, he naturally had to go up and take a look.

However, to ascend the summit, the Pangu's Pressure he would have to endure would surely be even more immense.

Especially under the tribulation!

Tribulations wouldn't care if he was a Pangu Sect Disciple; as long as any living being dared to enter the tribulation's range, lightning would strike them head-on.

This meant he would not only have to bear the heavy Pangu's Pressure but also directly confront the tribulation.

Thinking of this, Tongtian fell into contemplation.

Although his physical body wasn't as strong as the Twelve Ancestral Witches who practiced the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, it was still incomparable to ordinary Innate Great Powers.

Not to mention that he had also mastered the great divine ability of Life and Death Manipulation.

It could be said that it was difficult for him to die.

Since he couldn't die, there was no need to overthink it.

One word: Go for it!

Thus, Tongtian took firm steps and quickly headed toward the mountaintop.

He hadn't walked for long before the Pangu's Pressure he bore became significantly heavier.

Tongtian pondered for a moment, and the clear qi above his head immediately vibrated.

This wasn't the end; he even activated the Heaven-Opening Merit within his body.

The effect was very noticeable, and the heavy Pangu's Pressure immediately lessened considerably.

Seeing this, Tongtian did not summon the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda either. He intended to step directly into the tribulation with his physical body.

The violent lightning could be used to temper his physical body.

As long as his cultivation could be improved, a little pain was nothing.

Rumble!

The tribulation also sensed the presence of another aura within its coverage.

This made it even more violent.

Instantly, a large amount of lightning descended from the sky, striking Tongtian head-on.

Tongtian's figure couldn't help but pause, his entire body going numb.

Boom!

At this moment, the lightning became even more massive and dazzling. Suddenly, lightning flashed, and the entire sky above Buzhou Mountain turned bright.

The sound of thunder echoed throughout Buzhou Mountain.

The creatures in the vicinity were all startled.

The Qilin Clan, not far below the mountain, was also alerted by the commotion.

"What's going on? Did a treasure appear on Buzhou Mountain?"

"Highly likely, otherwise why would there be a tribulation?"

"It's a pity we can't ascend Buzhou Mountain at all."

"Yes, even if there are precious treasures on it, it has nothing to do with us."

Buzhou Mountain was not a place anyone could ascend.

The vast Pangu's Pressure acted as an insurmountable obstacle.

Ink Qilin was currently on a cliff, gazing at the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

His expression was extremely serious.

As far as he knew, there was indeed a special spiritual treasure within Buzhou Mountain.

With such a massive commotion erupting on the summit, could it be related to this spiritual treasure?

If that were the case, this treasure would likely fall into Tongtian's hands.

This person had only been on the mountain for a short while before coincidentally encountering the spiritual treasure undergoing its tribulation.

This was no mere coincidence; it was clearly a testament to Tongtian's profound fortune.

"With the tribulation lightning descending, the grade of that spiritual treasure must be quite high."

"At least a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! Only then would it attract lightning."

The Ink Qilin marveled inwardly.

Among heavenly spiritual treasures, the higher their grade, the less they were recognized by heaven and earth.

This was because any one of them possessed the power to destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth.

Naturally, heaven and earth would not permit their existence, so spiritual treasures of this caliber were highly likely to attract tribulation lightning.

If they could withstand it, they would be tempered by the lightning and emerge successfully.

If they could not, their very essence would be damaged, and they might even fall in grade.

Such matters were beyond human intervention.

He just didn't know if Tongtian would be so fortunate.

Boom!

Another clap of thunder exploded, and brilliant light erupted from the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
