Chapter 810
Golden Immortal! A Prodigy's Appearance
Crackling sounds!
clap clap clap!
Bang bang bang!
On the high platform, lightning and rain poured down on Zhang Lingshan, instantly engulfing him.
To everyone else, all they could see was a burst of lightning and thunder; Zhang Lingshan was nowhere to be seen.
All that could be heard was the roar of thunder and lightning; there was not a sound of human voices, not even screams. It was unclear whether the screams were from those who had been struck dead by the lightning and therefore did not scream, or whether there were screams but they were not heard.
"This must be divine punishment."
Amidst the stunned silence of the crowd, one person finally couldn't help but exclaim.
How much divine wrath and resentment must this person have incurred to attract such a crazy, violent, terrifying, and incomprehensible tribulation of lightning?
"Under such a tribulation of lightning, no matter who it is, they will die."
Some people shook their heads and sighed.
Even a Golden Immortal, if caught off guard and without protective magic treasures, would be severely injured if not killed.
The young man on the high platform was merely a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), without the indestructible aura of a Jinxian (another type of immortal), and without any protective magic treasures. It would be truly miraculous if he survived.
'I thought he had attracted a second tribulation lightning strike, indicating he was about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. I never expected it to be a death tribulation.'
Bai Lang sighed inwardly.
Although he had no real grudge against Zhang Lingshan, he felt inexplicably satisfied seeing the other party about to be blown to pieces.
If Kong Ruobing knew what Bai Lang was thinking at this moment, she would definitely be so angry that she would slap him to death.
However, Kong Ruobing had no other thoughts at the moment. Her gaze was fixed on the high platform where Zhang Lingshan was, and she said, "He can't just die like this, can he? His abilities should be more than this."
Ji Buyi sighed, "Li Xuanbing is indeed exceptionally talented, managing to attract two lightning tribulations. However, this second lightning tribulation is simply too heaven-defying. Even if he had already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, let alone before, he might not be able to withstand it."
Breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm and stabilizing at the Golden Immortal realm are two different concepts.
Even if Zhang Lingshan breaks through to the Golden Immortal realm during the first tribulation, his condition is not stable enough. If he were to face the second tribulation at this time, he would most likely not be able to withstand it.
Not to mention that he hasn't even broken through to the Golden Immortal realm yet; he's a step behind and is doomed.
of course.
These are all Ji Buyi's thoughts, or rather, the thoughts that the onlookers spontaneously generated.
However, their thoughts are not important.
Importantly, Zhang Lingshan was completely immersed in the sea of lightning tribulation at this moment, and he felt extremely comfortable.
He was grateful for the high platform pillar formation, which actually locked the lightning tribulation within it, preventing it from escaping even slightly.
What a great formation!
If it weren't for this formation, I wouldn't be able to take a bath in the lightning tribulation here.
To express his gratitude for the formation, Zhang Lingshan even devoted a portion of his mind to comprehending it.
He guessed that the formation was not set up by the Golden Immortal Pavilion itself, but by a master who came specifically to set it up, because the people of the Golden Immortal Pavilion should not have such great abilities.

No one knew that just as the first tribulation ended, Zhang Lingshan had already increased his skill points and broken through to the fourth level of the Myriad Laws True Scripture.
Zhang Lingshan wanted to time this moment perfectly, to create the illusion that he had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm through a tribulation of lightning, so that he would be like everyone else and not attract attention.
but.
To Zhang Lingshan's utter surprise, after his Myriad Laws True Scripture broke through to the fourth level, before he could even circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the immortal spiritual energy of heaven and earth to demonstrate his Golden Immortal realm, the sky seemed to go mad, instantly sensing his change and directly unleashing the second tribulation lightning.
Moreover, the second lightning tribulation was ten times more powerful than the first.
This is a deadly tribulation of lightning, because my added power is not tolerated by the rules of heaven and earth.
Ha ha.
Zhang Lingshan remained calm and fearless.
His physical body has undergone countless transformations, and he still possesses the Immortal Spirit Body, with the Xuanjin Body as his final support.
In addition, the Heavenly Tribulation Eye can absorb the power of lightning tribulation.
The more lightning tribulations that come, the better. What is there to fear?
We should not be afraid, but rather happy.
These are all energy points delivered to us.
The reason I went to such lengths to come to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to break through was precisely to obtain its tribulation power.
Now that the power of the tribulation lightning is being unleashed, this is an encouragement to myself. What is meant by being intolerable to the rules of heaven and earth? On the contrary, this is the rules of heaven and earth recognizing me as their master.
While everyone outside thought Zhang Lingshan had probably been killed by the lightning tribulation, Zhang Lingshan was taking a bath, absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation to consolidate his realm, and checking his panel, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Good days are finally coming!
Since ascending to the Immortal Realm, energy points have always been scarce. I use them as soon as I get them, and I can't accumulate any at all.
However, with the help of the lightning tribulation today, it seems that the energy points have a chance to accumulate to 1000.
This was only because he had absorbed a large amount of the tribulation power through the Heavenly Tribulation Eye; otherwise, he would have had even more energy points.
As for the Myriad Laws True Scripture, it absorbs not the power of the lightning tribulation, but the torrential rain that falls along with the lightning tribulation.
Those torrential rains were none other than the purest celestial energy.
It was several times purer than the immortal spiritual energy that Zhang Lingshan absorbed in the Golden Immortal Pavilion. It was a cloud formed from the condensation of immortal spiritual energy. It was blasted apart by the lightning tribulation and fell all over Zhang Lingshan's head, giving him great assistance.
This is the baptism of lightning tribulation.
The baptisms of others are nothing more than raindrops of immortal spiritual energy; those with stronger spiritual energy may experience a period of immortal spiritual energy rain.
But someone like Zhang Lingshan, who can take a bath in it, is absolutely unique.
This place is practically a pool of celestial elixir.
Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but think of the pond that absorbed spiritual liquid when he first ascended to immortality.
Besides being large, that pond was not as pure in terms of spiritual energy as the one before us.
[The True Scripture of All Laws: Fourth Level, 100 Rang/1 Ditch. Special Effect: Absorbs the power of all martial arts techniques in the world and can deduce its own variations.]
'In such a short time, it's already reached 100 grains.'
Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.
He didn't know how others stabilized their Golden Immortal realm, nor did he know what level others could reach in one go by using tribulation lightning.
However, he knew that once he absorbed all the immortal spiritual energy and rainwater here, directly passing through the entry stage and stepping into the early stage of Golden Immortal would be no problem at all.
That means I can get at least 2000 experience points.
Beautiful!
This is the benefit of being baptized by lightning.
'This breakthrough attempt yielded a result: it can directly attract a tribulation lightning. However, I wonder if attracting a tribulation lightning will be possible without entering the Golden Immortal Pavilion, this so-called place of perfect rules.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself. Although the experiment yielded a result, there were still other questions that could not be answered, and he could only wait to conduct further experiments later.
However, at that time, I will no longer enter the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
According to his observation, the Golden Immortal Pavilion can only help Golden Immortals, which means that the rules here end at the Golden Immortal level. If you want to break through to the Immortal Lord level, you have to go to a higher level place.
Immortal Lord Pavilion?
Zhang Lingshan didn't know if the Immortal Monarch Pavilion existed yet, but he knew why Ji Buyi was urging him to undergo tribulation.
It was precisely because the rules of the Golden Immortal Pavilion were too weak that Ji Buyi not only failed to improve his cultivation here, but was also dragged down in level. His cultivation not only stagnated, but even regressed.
Kong Ruobing, being a Golden Immortal, could stay here peacefully, but Ji Buyi, this Immortal Lord, was unwilling to stay any longer.
However, a question arises: Leng Yan is also a Celestial Lord, so why can he stay here for so long?
As for the Pavilion Master Jiang Kaiwu, he probably wasn't in the Golden Immortal Pavilion. So he only sent a telepathic message over a thousand miles, unwilling to come and solve the problem in person. Firstly, it would be beneath him; secondly, it would be a waste of time; and thirdly, the rules here are relatively low, making it unsuitable for him. Coming here would only make him uncomfortable, so it's better not to come at all.
'Is this immortal realm perhaps fragmented? Even the rules of heaven and earth are scattered in pieces, without a single truly complete set of rules. It's truly incomprehensible.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.
The amount of trash in the immortal realm was somewhat beyond his expectations.
If I need to go to the Immortal Lord Pavilion after breaking through to the Immortal Lord level, then I must cling to the Ice Immortal's coattails. Otherwise, without the qualifications to enter the Immortal Lord Pavilion, how can I break through to the Immortal Lord level?
As for whether adding something outside can attract lightning tribulation, let's wait for the opportunity to test that later.
But Zhang Lingshan hoped he would never need this opportunity.
Having this opportunity means that you are an unregistered resident.
If it's possible to continue through normal channels, then it's best to stick to normal channels.
Using unregistered individuals as a last resort is a desperate measure.
boom!
A loud explosion on the high platform once again drew everyone's attention.
This time, however, everyone discovered that it was not the sound of lightning tribulation, but a powerful force soaring into the sky, followed by a frenzied gathering of immortal spiritual energy from all directions.
"What!?"
Everyone gasped in surprise, speechless.
Just now everyone thought that the person was doomed, or even if they didn't die, they would be crippled and would have no chance of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.
As a result, the next moment, he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, attracting a surge of immortal spiritual energy.
How did this guy manage to do that?
Not only did they survive such a terrifying lightning tribulation, but they were also able to successfully break through to the next level.
"I understand!"
Suddenly, someone said, "No wonder Li Xuanbing didn't break through even after the first two lightning tribulations. It's not that he lacks talent, but rather that his talent is too extraordinary. The power of the two lightning tribulations was insufficient for him to break through. Only when he was subjected to three lightning tribulations at the same time did he finally have the energy to break through."
"What? It takes three tribulations of lightning to break through? His foundation must be incredibly solid. Compared to him, we're just saplings; he's a towering tree."
"Yes, that makes sense. He's a towering tree, so he definitely needs more tribulation power. Not only are there three tribulations, but the last one is more than ten times stronger than the previous two. With such a deep foundation, his strength after breaking through must be extraordinary. No wonder he dared to challenge a Celestial Lord when he was already a Xuanxian. It seems that's his confidence."
"Such a peerless genius is a once-in-a-millennium talent; otherwise, Ji Buyi would have come to protect him personally."
"That makes sense. Ji Buyi truly deserves to be the number one genius of the Ice Spirit Sect; his insight is exceptional."
“Young Master Bai, once Li Xuanbing and the others have entered your Ice Spirit Sect, they will no longer be considered true disciples. They can probably be directly recognized as prodigies.”
"That's right, if he's not considered a prodigy, then there are no prodigies in the world."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Bai Lang was consumed by jealousy.
What a prodigy!
That was someone who stood above them, the true disciples.
According to Bai Lang's plan, after breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm at the Golden Immortal Pavilion, he would go back and ask his master for help in applying for the Prodigy Assessment. He was determined to give it his all and see if he could pass the assessment and become a Prodigy.
But I didn't expect that.
He hadn't even broken through to the Golden Immortal realm yet, and this unknown kid was already being hailed as a prodigy by everyone.
Although these people's evaluations are not accurate, they are enough to prove that this Li Xuanbing is a formidable enemy on the path to becoming a prodigy.
Because resources are limited, the number of places for prodigies is also limited.
At any given time, the Ice Spirit Sect can only have a maximum of six prodigies.
Of these six prodigies, some reached the age required to retire from their positions; some broke through to the Immortal King level and became elders; and some unfortunately died.
Otherwise, those six would keep occupying the top spots, and the others would never be able to advance.
Of course, there is another possibility: you can challenge the prodigies and defeat any one of the six of them.
But the probability of this happening is almost zero.
The saying goes, "If you're quick at one step, you'll be quick at every step."
The prodigies were already stronger than you, which is why they were able to be promoted to prodigies.
After becoming a prodigy, one receives more resources and becomes stronger.
What makes you think you can compare to them?
Therefore, in Bai Lang's eyes, this path is simply not feasible.
Only by passing the assessments step by step can one have the opportunity to be promoted to a top talent.
It just so happens that their Ice Spirit Sect recently lost a prodigy, which opened up a spot. Bai Lang wanted to seize this opportunity and apply quickly.
Unexpectedly, a Li Xuanbing appeared, who not only broke through to the Golden Immortal realm faster than himself, but also broke through after experiencing three tribulations of lightning. His foundation was simply incredible.
How can we compete with others like this?
'However, Li Xuanbing has offended Leng Yan, the chief ice-element expert of the Golden Immortal Pavilion. She's a woman who holds grudges and seeks revenge. Unless Li Xuanbing stays by Ji Buyi's side constantly, his chances of dying are very high.'
Bai Lang couldn't help but pray that this future rival would die on the way.
The fewer competitors you have, the more opportunities you have.
He not only cursed Li Xuanbing, but he also cursed everyone who was qualified to compete with him for the title of prodigy.
but.
His expression remained calm, showing no emotion; instead, he joined in the comments with the others.
"it is good!"
Kong Ruobing shouted loudly, her eyebrows and eyes showing joy.
This is the person she has her eye on, the person she has chosen!
To break through to the Golden Immortal realm with a body that has withstood three tribulations of lightning is truly unique. Such a talent, if he joins the Ice Spirit Sect, will surely become a prodigy.
She, Kong Ruobing, brought an exceptionally talented genius to the Ice Spirit Sect. Now that should shut her grandmother up.
Hmph. (End of Chapter)
