Chapter 106: Mountaintop Tribulation
Above the sky, a dark cloud quickly gathered above Chu Xinglan's head, and lightning could be seen flashing in it as it rolled.
In Cangqiong Mountain, all the elders flew into the air in surprise when they sensed the breath of thunder.
The disciples who had just woken up also looked curiously towards the back mountain.
"Is Chu Xinglan about to break through?"
"He should be building his foundation, right? Why does the aura of thunder tribulation feel so strong?"
"I don't know. Look, the elders are all out."
Chen Xiu had been waiting for news from his master last night. He had just closed his eyes for a while when he felt that Chu Xinglan was about to undergo a tribulation. He didn't care about anything else and ran towards the back mountain. When he saw the elders on the way, he only had time to greet them hurriedly.
"Chen boy, why are you running so fast?"
"With the ancestor here, everything will be fine."
"As expected of you, the disciple of our ancestor. This thunder tribulation is comparable to a golden elixir."
Chen Xiu wanted to curse loudly, "You know nothing! Now Chu Xinglan is probably the only one in the back mountain. If something really happens to Xinglan, the ancestor will come back and demolish Cangqiong Mountain!"
He was really panicked now, and also blamed Chu Xinglan a little. This was too bold. He dared to go through the tribulation alone. Couldn't he delay it a little?
As I was running, I heard shouting from behind again.
"Brother Chen Xiu, wait for me!"
The voice sounded familiar, so he took the time to look back and saw Song Ling and the others running towards the back mountain like him. It was obvious that they also knew about it.
Chen Xiu knew that they were close, so he had to stop.
When Song Ling and the others approached, he quickly said, "You can't get into the back mountain. Wait outside. I'll go take a look."
Song Ling looked at the thunder tribulation that was still brewing and felt very worried. He had experienced thunder tribulation before, but compared with Chu Xinglan's, he was nothing.
Moreover, he knew that Sang Yunqi did not come back with him, which made him even more afraid that something might happen to Chu Xinglan.
"I'll go with you to take a look, otherwise I'll be worried."
After saying that, he leaned close to Chen Xiu's ear and whispered, "I know the ancestor is not here. If you really want to punish me for trespassing into the back mountain, I will accept it. Let's go quickly. I'm very nervous."
Chen Xiu looked at him silently, and seeing that the first thunder had already struck, he could no longer care, "You come with me."
As he said that, he took out his sword and jumped up, and Song Ling quickly followed suit.
The two of them flew quickly on their swords towards the top of the mountain behind.
……
Chu Xinglan, who was about to endure the tribulation on the top of the mountain, was not very nervous. He looked at the rolling thunderclouds and was very calm.
He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, then stood on the top of the mountain with his back straight, one hand behind his back.
When the first bolt of lightning struck, he took out the long sword that he had kept as a decoration in his bell, found a comfortable position, used his spiritual power, and slashed the sword towards the sky.
The first thunderbolt disappeared in an instant.
But Chu Xinglan's expression suddenly became strange, as if he was controlling something forcibly, but the next second, Chu Xinglan's figure disappeared from the spot, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
A majestic white monster appeared where he had just stood and shook its hair subconsciously.
Chu Xinglan looked down at his white claws and muttered softly.
"I can't use my human form to survive the tribulation. Isn't it a waste of the pills I just took?"
But soon he no longer cared about the pills, as the thunder seemed to think that his previous sword was a provocation and quickly sent down three thunders in succession.
Chu Xinglan also needs to use his spiritual power and deal with it with all his heart and soul.
Fortunately, he had a solid cultivation base, strong spiritual power, and even his physical strength had increased significantly, so he didn't feel any danger.
He was too lazy to fight with the thunder, so he used his spiritual power to create a protective shield around him, and wrapped his whole body with his own innate spiritual fire, then squatted on the spot to be struck by lightning.
Chen Xiu and the other two, who had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, stared stupidly at the motionless, yet still tumbling and burning platinum-colored flame.
No one else can help them overcome the tribulation, and they dare not get too close. They can only stand here and wait anxiously.
But why didn't he move? Did he faint due to injury?
Song Ling couldn't hold back his words and poked Chen Xiu with his finger.
"Big Brother, is this okay or not?"
Chen Xiu was also a little confused. Looking at the excitedly rolling flames, he said hesitantly, "It should be fine. Xing Lan released his life spirit fire to resist the thunder tribulation."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw that when the next thunderbolt descended, the ball of platinum-colored flame surged toward the sky and soon engulfed the thunderbolt.
Song Ling swallowed his saliva: "Is this... so fierce?"
Chu Xinglan's tribulation was completely different from what they had imagined. The ferocity of the platinum-colored flame was beyond their understanding. They could only stand there and wait quietly.
At this time, Chu Xinglan, who was in the center of the fire, seemed fine.
He originally released his own spiritual fire in order to add a layer of defense to avoid being struck too hard, but now he only heard the sound of thunder, but no lightning could strike him at all.
When he came into contact with his own natal spiritual fire, he was enveloped by the surging flames, and then Chu Xinglan felt the excitement and joy of the spiritual fire.
He felt his own spiritual fire slowly growing stronger, and he roughly understood what was going on. It was absorbing the lightning to make itself stronger.
As the master of the spiritual fire, one will receive feedback from the spiritual fire, which means that while others are struck by lightning, their bodies will be transformed by the lightning at the same time.
He just needs to wait for the spiritual fire to consume the destructive power of the thunder and then wait for the upgrade.
No longer worried about the thunder tribulation, Chu Xinglan simply sat cross-legged on the spot and began to digest the extra power in his body.
During this time, he felt a little itchy on the top of his head, but he couldn't concentrate on it, so he ignored it and just wanted to get through the calamity first.
Chen Xiu and Song Ling stood halfway up the mountain, watching the endless thunderbolts striking down, and they felt numb.
"Big Brother, this strength is comparable to that of a golden elixir, right?"
Chen Xiu shook his head: "When I advanced to the Golden Core stage, there were twenty-seven thunder tribulations. I just counted them and it's already over thirty."
Song Ling swallowed subconsciously, "What kind of strength did Brother Chu have after that? He won't be comparable to Yuanying directly, right?"
Chen Xiu had already achieved the great perfection of the golden elixir, and had been suppressing his cultivation for some time.
Thinking about the aura he felt when he saw Chu Xinglan yesterday, he guessed, "Nascent Soul should still be a little far away, but Golden Core Great Perfection should be about the same."
Song Ling counted on his fingers and found that he had already reached the great perfection of foundation building, but he still had some distance to go before he could overcome the tribulation.
Very good, there is a big difference.
I have been practicing for more than three years, and Brother Chu has been practicing for... three months?
This is so discouraging!
