Lightning Tribulation

When the fire in the forest was extinguished by everyone working together, before they could even rejoice, they first heard a strange sentence from the purple-robed Daoist in the sky, followed by the shout from Senior Liao, who had been closely watching the situation outside.

Only then did everyone realize that Mo Yuanjiao had returned at just the right moment!

Everyone immediately understood the meaning behind the purple-robed Daoist's words.

They all looked up and saw that the purple-robed Daoist had already raised his hand and launched an attack towards the village entrance.

Upon Sun Yigao immediately moved faster than his eyes, grabbed the peach wood sword in his hand, rushed out of the sect's barrier, and used the Air-Stepping Technique to rush towards the village entrance at full speed.

Liao Pantu didn't even have time to stop him before he rushed out.

Liao Pantu immediately couldn't stand still either, and turned to instruct Liu Yunan:

You absolutely must not take a single step out!

As he spoke, he immediately leaped forward and rushed after Sun Yigao.

Wei Hai, who was struck solidly by lightning mid-air, was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and exhaled a mouthful of black smoke.

Struck by the lightning, he felt his Spiritual Power circulation become sluggish.

He glanced up at the dark clouds in the sky, but didn't pay much attention.

I thought a heavy downpour was about to hit.

It's perfectly normal to get struck by lightning while you're standing in mid-air.

He wasn't immune to being struck by lightning; aside from the Lightning Tribulation during his Nascent Soul stage, he had been struck by lightning on ordinary days when there was thunder and lightning.

In the past, in order to experience what it felt like to have completely transcended the mortal body, he would even deliberately try to be struck by lightning.

But none of the usual thunder and lightning seem as intense as today's.

The intensity of this lightning was almost one-tenth of what it was when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

It looks like there might be a severe rainstorm today.

It's a pity about his Movement Method.

This is a magic robe that he bought in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for a thousand Spirit Stone!

Sigh, generic products are just unreliable; they can't even protect against ordinary lightning strikes.

However, once he reclaims the Spirit Stone mine, this amount of Spirit Stone will be nothing.

Then, Wei Hai turned his gaze back to Xiushui Village below.

Watching the three people fleeing through the village, and a figure rushing out from the sect, he curled his lips into a wicked smile.

He guessed right; this disciple was indeed quite important.

This prompted some people to step in and attempt a rescue.

Thinking it over, he immediately attacked in two directions simultaneously.

Two enormous fireballs shot out in two directions, one at each end of Xiushui Village!

Seeing this, Liao Pantu immediately Hand Seals and sent a burst of Spiritual Power towards a spot in Xiushui Village, activating the large defensive array he had previously set up.

As a result, the scene that Wei Hai had anticipated—two fireballs exploding on the ground and blasting the people and the village to smithereens—did not occur.

Just as his fireball was about to land on Xiushui Village, it crashed into a barrier in mid-air.

A large area of golden array patterns was revealed at the point of impact.

When the fireball struck the barrier, it exploded with a bang. The surface of the array pattern trembled slightly before stabilizing. Once all the Spiritual Power attacks disappeared, the array pattern vanished into thin air.

"A large defensive array?"

Wei Hai was somewhat surprised.

I didn't expect this sect to be so powerful.

Besides the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation, they actually managed to come up with such a high-level formation to defend this dilapidated village.

But his surprise was only momentary.

They soon discovered that the defensive formation did not seem to be very sturdy.

I only attacked it twice, and it already started to shake.

To break this defensive formation, it would only take a few more attacks from me.

While Wei Hai was struggling to hatch outside, Mo Que and the others were desperately trying to escape.

Lin Xiao is also at a critical juncture in the Nature Platform.

At this moment, he was breaking through to the Golden Core, facing his first Lightning Tribulation.

Through tireless cultivation day and night, he finally reached the goal of increasing his cultivation level from 999,999 to 1,000,000, and is now striving towards 1,000,001.

At this stage, the auto-training function did not work.

The system said that he needed to overcome the tribulation and break through to the next level.

Then, no matter how Lin Xiao asked, the system remained silent.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to accept reality.

He finally got himself struck by lightning.

He used his Divine Sense to survey his surroundings and the sky above, but found no signs of Lightning Tribulation.

There was a rock above his head.

It was surrounded by rocks.

I really don't know how the Lightning Tribulation will strike...

He waited for two breaths, but the Lightning Tribulation still hadn't arrived. He wondered if the Lightning Tribulation couldn't find him because he was inside the Nature Platform.

So he decided to get up and go outside to take a look.

But just as he was about to get up, he found that he couldn't stand up at all.

Could it be that my lower body went numb from sitting for too long?

But he could still clearly feel his lower body.

He tried to struggle again, but found that he still couldn't move. He was sitting firmly in the center of the white jade platform, as if his whole body was frozen in place, and he couldn't get up from it at all.

The next moment, out of the Yu Guang, he saw the thin, gentle stream beside him suddenly crackle with lightning, dancing and popping on its surface.

Then the violently dancing lightning flowed into the pool below with the water.

Then, Lin Xiao felt a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

He knew then that he had been successfully struck down.

Lin Xiao slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke and turned to look at the thin stream of water beside him, which was slowly flowing into the pool below.

So, the ponds and streams in this Nature Platform are for this purpose...

The Lingxian Sect members on the mountainside were anxiously watching the situation below. Seeing the Nascent Soul Cultivator relentlessly bombarding Xiushui Village, they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

But they knew they couldn't be of much help if they went down, so they could only wait on the mountain.

Suddenly, they heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from above.

When everyone looked up, they witnessed a massive bolt of lightning pass through their Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation without any obstruction and strike the back of Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

Knowing that this was the direction Lin Xiao was in seclusion, the crowd, unaware of the reason, were all quite surprised.

Everyone was worried that something might have happened to Lin Xiao, so Jiang Youfu immediately addressed them:

"I'll go take a look!"

As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the back of Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

Lin Dayou and the rest of the Lin Household couldn't wait any longer, so they all followed Jiang Youfu and ran over.

As they ran, two more bolts of lightning struck down rhythmically in the same direction.

However, when they arrived at the back of the mountain, they saw that the lightning seemed to have been sucked into the small white stone at the entrance of the Nature Platform, disappearing after entering the stone.
