Leaving, a Sudden Tribulation
"Sect Leader, you've really struck gold this time!" Xie Zheng looked at Li Yunjing, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.
This trip to the cave abode of the Nine-Headed Demon King has been incredibly profitable.
The wealth accumulated by a demon king at the Dao Integration Realm is indeed astonishing.
Putting everything else aside, this Spirit Plant garden alone is enough to bring this trip to the cave abode to a perfect close.
Even if Xie Zheng only obtained one of the Spirit Plant inside, it would be enough to make Xie Zheng laugh in his sleep every night.
Li Yunjing closed the jade box and smiled, "Indeed, this is a great deal. Senior Xie. Go and call the other seniors over so they can all come here and choose the Spirit Plant they want."
Thank you for your hard work during this time.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng's face showed a hint of emotion.
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
As he was about to leave, Li Yunjing suddenly spoke up again, "Oh, by the way, don't take those Spirit Plant Spirit Plant that have developed sentience. I have a use for them."
Spirit Plant that develop sentience are extremely rare and should never be given away easily.
Xie Zheng was well aware of the value of these Spirit Plant, so he did not object after Li Yunjing Xie Zheng him.
"Understood," Xie Zheng replied before leaving.
After Xie Zheng left, Li Yunjing walked out of the Spirit Plant Garden.
He went to the Nine-Headed Demon King's meditation chamber.
This quiet room also has another name: Howling Wolf Abode.
"By the way, what bloodline does this Nine-Headed Demon King have?" Li Yunjing asked, looking at the name of Howling Wolf Abode with great curiosity.
He had previously seen the remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Demon King, which was a demon wolf with nine heads.
Li Yunjing knew quite a bit about powerful wolf demons.
The Moon-Howling Wolf, the Heaven-Enveloping Wolf, and other wolf-like demons are all powerful Demon Race that appeared in the history of Tianyuan.
Each one left behind a legend.
But Li Yunjing really didn't know the origin of the nine-headed wolf demon.
The characteristics of this powerful demon are very obvious. Logically speaking, as long as it has left behind any traces, it should have been noticed by people.
Shaking his head, Li Yunjing walked into Howling Wolf Abode.
The furnishings inside Howling Wolf Abode were very simple, with a desk and a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) on it.
On the round table to the side, there was a tea set.
Besides these things, there was nothing else.
Li Yunjing walked to the desk, looked at the guqin in front of him, and then plucked the strings.
The melodious music instantly calmed Li Yunjing's heart.
"This guqin is extraordinary," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
This guqin seems to be able to temper Li Yunjing's State of Mind.
Such treasures are very rare and extremely valuable.
Li Yunjing was thinking about finding a good musician in the future to maximize the value of this guqin.
As for the tea set on the round table, Li Yunjing picked it up and examined it as well.
It's just average, nothing special.
After wandering around the quiet room for a while, Li Yunjing found nothing else and then left.
Just then, Xie Zheng and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators walked out of the Spirit Plant Garden.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"Sect Leader!"
When Xie Zheng and the others saw Li Yunjing, they immediately came over to greet him.
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Judging from your happiness, it seems you've obtained the treasure you desired."
Lu Xian nodded. "We must thank the sect leader for giving us this opportunity."
"Excellent, excellent! We can never repay the sect leader's kindness in this lifetime!"
"..."
Li Yunjing laughed and said, "Alright, now that you've all obtained the treasures you desire, let's leave. We'll leave this place to others to handle."
Once everything is organized, we'll determine what will be assigned to you.
Xie Zheng and the other Spirit Transformation had no objections.
The group then left the Nine-Headed Demon King's cave abode.
Outside the Demon King's cave abode, many of the Demon Beast corpses that had littered the ground had disappeared.
It seems the disciples of the Luozhen Sect worked very hard and have already cleaned up all the Demon Beast corpses.
However, there are still many Demon Beast corpses on the ground, so it seems it will take some time to completely clean it up.
Li Yunjing was planning to return with several Spirit Transformation cultivators.
Just then, a fierce wind suddenly surged forth from the heavens and earth like a raging tsunami.
As the yang energy rises, all thunder begins to rumble, marking the peak of the origin of thunder.
Boundless thunder energy rose from the sky, transforming into a purple-gold thunder pillar that pierced through heaven and earth, directly breaking through the fierce winds of the nine heavens.
In an instant, the world changed color.
The clear blue sky was instantly covered by primordial thunderclouds. These were not ordinary dark tribulation clouds for those Tribulation Transcendence, but rather clouds of the Great Dao that were entirely gilded and tinged with purple, and whose interiors were filled with runes of thunder from all the heavens.
From within the thunderclouds, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the universe; it was not a sound of battle, but rather the sacred chant of the Great Dao.
Li Yunjing and the others were very surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
Suddenly, a sound flew out from nowhere, heading straight for the continuous thunderclouds.
"Grandmaster Fang!"
Upon seeing that figure, Li Yunjing immediately shouted.
The figure rushing towards the thundercloud was none other than Fang Hexuan!
"Senior Fang is about to break through! He's about to enter the Dao Union Realm!"
Xie Zheng, seeing that it was Fang Hexuan, also shouted out!
Xie Zheng couldn't think of any other reason for this kind of momentum other than Tribulation Transcendence to break through their cultivation level!
At this moment, the first tribulation lightning struck down, the Divine Firmament Divine Lightning, as thick as a thousand-foot mountain, carrying the heavenly might to obliterate the mortal world, and struck straight at Fang Hexuan's physical body.
Fang Hexuan neither dodged nor avoided, and even took the initiative to withdraw all his protective qi.
He opened his arms, letting the divine lightning, powerful enough to obliterate an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator, pour into his body.
The moment the divine lightning entered his body, his mortal body shattered inch by inch, his meridians, bones, and flesh all being crushed into dust by the lightning.
Li Yunjing's eyes widened in horror.
He couldn't understand why Fang Hexuan would voluntarily disperse his protective aura; it was tantamount to courting death.
Meanwhile, Xie Zheng and the other Spirit Transformation remained silent.
They thought Fang Hexuan Fang Hexuan successfully overcome the Lightning Tribulation, but unexpectedly, his physical body collapsed in the very first round!
This left them with a deep psychological scar.
Will things be the same when they reach a breakthrough in the future?
During the Lightning Tribulation, Fang Hexuan's physical body collapsed, but his Primordial Spirit did not; on the contrary, it was full of vitality!
Fang Hexuan's Primordial Spirit silently endured the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation. His purpose was very clear: the body of Spirit Transformation was ultimately made from mortal flesh and could not contain the Principle of the Great Dao that were in Dao Union. He had no intention of staying.
Therefore, the disintegration of his physical body was of no concern to him.
Not long after, the second and third tribulations of Lightning Tribulation struck...
Until the eighth tribulation lightning struck one after another, each one ten times stronger than the previous one, each carrying a lineage of thunder origin: Yi Wood Life Lightning, Gui Water Nether Lightning, Bing Fire Blazing Lightning, Wu Earth Tribulation Lightning... all of them bombarded his Primordial Spirit.
His physical body disintegrated and then began to regenerate, only to disintegrate again, and then regenerate once more...
In the cycle, the lightning patterns on Fang Hexuan's Primordial Spirit had already corresponded perfectly with the Great Dao runes in the tribulation clouds.
As the ninth and final tribulation lightning was brewing, the entire world fell into a deathly silence.
The fierce winds ceased, the flowing clouds stopped, and all the Thunder Method that was in operation throughout the four seas and eight wastelands came to a standstill.
When that bolt of lightning struck, the world was completely silent.
Upon seeing this, Fang Hexuan finally smiled.
He actually dispelled all the defenses of his Primordial Spirit, allowing this primordial lightning power to completely disintegrate his Primordial Spirit and his reconstructed physical body into the purest lightning essence, which then scattered into the sky full of thunderclouds.
