Chapter 574 - Lightning Tribulation Dao Flower
After the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber have absorbed the Golden Origin Water, they turned so heavy that Swords Gate Mountain sunk into the ground and erupted the underground volcanoes. Rifts deep into the underground cracked across the earth’s surface and lava flowed out above the ground.
The sudden outbreak of the catastrophe had alerted the whole Swords Gate, it was no surprise that Jun Sixie had mistaken it as a hostile invasion.
Quietly, Zhong Yue quickly kept the two sabers away into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He didn’t dare to surge them back into his mortal body as the sabers’ weights would still persist in sinking the mountain through his mortal body.
The Yuan Shen secret realms were dimensions opened within the Yuan Shen, they weren’t in the same dimensional space as the world. Thus, the sabers would not affect Swords Gate Mountain when kept in the Yuan Shen secret realms.
As soon as he placed the twin sabers away, Swords Gate Mountain stopped sinking and the volcanic eruption ceased. The burning lava flowed for some time and eventually cooled away to form new mountain ridges across the Great Wilderness.
In just a short while, Swords Gate Mountain had sunk five thousand feet into the ground. The once glorious saint mountain now turned shorter and less grand in less than a day’s time.
Up from the headmaster down to the disciples, the whole of Swords Gate were crazed. The elders led the disciples and cast the Four Symbol Banners out right away to seal the whole Swords Gate down. The Four Symbol Banners could reveal and also prevent the unknown enemies from hiding and escaping.
Whereas Shui Zian carried little Xuan Yuan in his arms to the Golden Summit with the Xuan Yuan Divine Sword casually hovering beside the child.
Fang Jiange stood still and was placid as usual. However, his hand that has quietly clenched on the divine sword, and his clothes that fluttered proved that he wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared to be.
Jun Sixie turned her head and saw Zhong Yue walking out, her eyes were fixated on him and suddenly, she said, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I saw two bright rays in your hands just now, where did they go? Quick, show them to me!”
Cold sweat nearly burst out from his forehead, and he quickly laughed as he replied, “What bright rays? Senior martial sister, you must have seen wrongly. I was just holding onto two sabers, I have just completed forging them.”
“Sabers you’ve forged?" Jun Sixie winked her eyes, she curled her lips and said while smiling, “Why don’t you show them to me?”
Zhong Yue’s face abruptly turned sternly, “Just two pieces of junk, nothing to look at. I have just finished them, they are really still shabby .”
Little did he know that his reactions made him even more dubious in her eyes. Jun Sixie sneered frigidly as she said, “Right at the moment you kept the sabers away, everything stopped. Show me the two sabers you just forged, now!”
“Haha, senior martial sister, I swear I am not the cause of all this. I have just forged the sabers, I still need to further refine them. See you later!" Zhong Yue bolted up to the sky and disappeared into the lightning zone.
Jun Sixie tilted her head and mulled. Seconds later, she shook her head and didn’t chase after him, she thought, This Disaster Zhong, he really just can’t stay quiet and be obedient at all. It hasn’t even been three months since he returned to Swords Gate, yet he made just more trouble … again…
Zhong Yue flew into the lightning zone and was welcomed cordially by the lightning strikes. However, even though his Yuan Shen was still not cultivated into the Pure Yang state, his current cultivation base was still strong enough to withstand the lightning strikes, as long as they weren’t Pure Yang lightning.
The lightning grew stronger as he flew higher. With a thought, the Solar Divine Saber flowed out in his hand as he waved. In a single swing, the lightning was within a few feet of his vicinity was cleared !
He was planning to refine his divine sabers with the lightning!
After all, the lightning was the best whetstone to hone the weapons. They could reach thoroughly inside of the weapons and smite away the impurities in them. The weapons would turn purer and stronger in the shortest time possible.
Although such a way to hone the weapons was no secret to Qi Practitioners, only a handful could achieve it. After all, not many of them were strong enough to enter the lightning zone and withstand the tribulation of the lightning strikes.
This was not to mention the fact that the longer you stay in the lightning zone, the stronger the lightning strikes would grow!
There weren’t any Qi Practitioners that had yet to bath themselves in the lightning zone until the end of the lightning strikes.
Thus, there was no records on whether if the tribulations of the lightning strikes would actually end at all.
Some said that if one could pull through the Lightning Tribulation of the lightning Leize Dragon God, he would be rewarded greatly—that blooming flowers would fall from the sky to celebrate the birth of a new hero and bless him with great strength. However, it was only just a rumor that caused even more Qi Practitioners to die in the lightning strikes.
Too slow, I should honed the two divine sabers together at the same time!
With a change of thought, the Metamagnet Divine Saber also surged out in his hand. But before he could do anything, the saber’s incredible weight pulled him down toward the ground!
Like a meteor, Zhong Yue plummeted from the sky and crashed a huge pit on the ground, with cracks extending a few miles away from the pit!
Zhong Yue kept the two divine sabers and flew into the lightning zone again, he thought, Two divine sabers are too heavy to wield at the same time, I can only wield one saber with my psyche now, two is beyond my limits…
He returned in the lightning zone and focused only in honing one saber at a time. Suddenly, he thought of the rumor and asked curiously, “Xin Huo, is there an end to the lightning strikes? I heard that if one could endure to the end, he will be rewarded heavily? Is that true?”
“Yes, it sure is." Xin Huo leaped out from Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, flying around the young man as he answered while smiling, “Everything in the universe has an end to it, this is no exception. If you can withstand the Lightning Tribulations and endure to the end, you will be able to earn the recognition from the heaven and earth. Naturally, once that happens, the Lightning Tribulations will stop and the lightning strikes will ceases. In the ancient days, there were quite a number of Fuxi that had cultivated in the lightning zone, honing the mortal body and Yuan Shen with the Lightning Tribulations to achieve strength beyond most other martial artists.”
Zhong Yue’s interest was piqued, he raised his head and looked up. He had been here for quite some time already, and a cluster of lightning was starting to form above him now. They were flowing like water and were changing shapes from waters to trees to various aquatic creatures.
Meanwhile, Xin Huo continued saying, “The lightning zone has forty-nine levels of Lightning Tribulations, they are all contained within this loch of lightnings which is a resemblance to the Leize. Enter the Leize, endure through the forty-nine levels of Lightning Tribulations, and be rewarded heavily with the flowers from heaven, the Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers. These flowers contain profound knowledge in them, each being equivalent to ten hard working years of cultivation! There are forty-nine levels of Lightning Tribulation in the lightning zone, that makes forty-nine Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers, which translates into four hundred and ninety years of cultivation base. In the past, the Fuxi Qi Practitioners would usually hone themselves with the Lightning Tribulations, and cultivate to their limits before they ascend into deityhood.”
Zhong Yue was awed hearing Xin Huo. Right now, the lightning Leize Dragon God was slowly coming into shape in the lightning zone, the air around turned stagnant and was filled with a strong aura.
“Oh, there is a Leize lightning loch in the Pure Yang Lightning Zone as well. This one has eighty-one levels of Lightning Tribulations. Pulling through these eighty-one level so Lightning Tribulations will reward you with a Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit. This fruit alone is enough to allow you to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and Pure Yang mortal body, ascension into deityhood will be beyond guaranteed.”
Xin Huo laughed and said, “But the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations are far too difficult even for the Fuxi Qi Practitioners. Of the past inheritors that I have taught, only a few had done it. However, the last Fuxi we met, the little girl called Si Ming, her mortal body is in the Pure Yang state. That means she has most probably been through the eighty-one levels of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations and had the Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit. It is truly rare to come by.”
Zhong Yue thought of the Fuxi lady and thought, She has been through the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations and acquired the Lightning Tribulation Dao Fruit? Strange, our Fuxi Clan is near extinct and even our histories are wiped away. Without the heritages of the Heavenly Monarchs, how did she cultivate to such a stage?
“Xin Huo, with my prowess now, can I pass through the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations?”
Xin Huo shook his head and said, “Your Fuxi bloodline is not fully awakened, you still haven’t reached the innate true spirit nor the Chaotic Origin True Spirit, you couldn’t even pull through the first level of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulation. In the same cultivation level, Si Ming is at least seven times stronger than you!”
“Seven times?" Zhong Yue was was overjoyed, he said while smiling, “You said that she was ten times stronger before this, but the gap has now closed down to only seven times. Looks like I have improved greatly! But if you said I‘m not strong enough for the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations, I can still start with these forty-nine levels of Lightning Tribulations and acquir the Lightning Tribulation Dao Flowers first!
Meanwhile, Xin Huo mumbled softly, "It\'s also quite hard for you to do it, I reckoned that you will be able to do forty at most. But well, it\'s not too bad to give it a try, at least you can strengthen your mortal body. After all, there is no harm in that, a good mortal body is also a requirement to copulate with the innate gods!"
It was as if Zhong Yue\'s ears would automatically filter sentences like this from Xin Huo, he looked up and found the Leize lightning loch formed above. It was tremendously huge but couldn\'t have been seen under from the bottom in the Ancestral Star; as though it was hidden in another dimension that only those who was are going through the Lightning Tribulations could have seen.
Meanwhile, the lightning Leize Dragon God was also coming into form, it was only seconds before it would be completed.
"Brat Yue, the Leize Dragon God will launch its assault right after its fully formed, you should enter the Leize lightning loch before that!" Xin Huo prompted.
Although Xin Huo would often speak nonsense, certain statements he made were usually true. Zhong Yue strode into the Leize right before the lightning dragon god was fully formed.
Just as he entered the Leize lightning loch, a surge of lightning seeped into and numbed his mortal body, blood essence, Yuan Shen, psyche and everything else before settling down seconds later.
When he was on the outside, the thunder rumbled in his ears and shuddered the clouds. But when he stepped into the Leize lightning loch, the rumbling sounds of thunders were muted. It was a stark contrast between overbearing noises and dead silence.
"The quieter it is, the more dangerous it would be." Zhong Yue calmed himself and felt as though he was standing on solid ground instead of hovering in the sky.
"If it\'s not going to make a move, then I\'ll see how strong the forty-nine level so Lightning Tribulations are myself!"
Zhong Yue lowered his hand and the Solar Divine Saber disappeared all of a sudden, while the Metamagnet Divine Saber surged out from the Yuan Shen secret realms into his body.
He stride forward, and as he moved, the Leize lightning loch started surging violently as well. The lightning waters burst high up and swallowed him away!
Zhong Yue yelled a roar and pressed forward into the lightning waters. With a change of thought, the Metamagnet Divine Saber flowed out of his hand, and he cleaved it to the front.
Bang-
In one strike, the lightning water was cleaved into halves!
Suddenly, there were lightning leaves that bore through the surging waters and lunged at him!
Meanwhile, a lightning tree branch swayed in the air and lashed like a whip across the sky!
The lightning trees shone bright and the tree branches were galvanized into actions at the same time!
Whereas the lightning beasts in the Leize lightning loch roared and pounced at him as well. Among them, there was a crocodile creature that stood upright with its legs and tail supporting it. Its eyes were bright and round like the sun, and lightning rays were blasted out from its wide-opened mouth.
