Chapter 812
This mountain peak is very strange!
“This is lightning,” Zhang Lingshan corrected.
"Don't you know what a metaphor is?" Ji Buyi rolled his eyes. "I take back what I said about you before, you're a lunatic. You still have the nerve to joke around? Go on up there, go find your death."
"Not really."
Zhang Lingshan shook his head and said, "The lightning tribulation already recognizes me; it's my good friend. It will show me mercy."
"..."
Ji Buyi didn't want to talk to him and turned her head away.
Kong Ruobing then took out a small cauldron and handed it to Zhang Lingshan, saying, "If things are hopeless, then use this cauldron to save your life."
"Thank you, Lady Ice Fairy."
Zhang Lingshan was deeply moved. It had to be Lady Bingxian who always believed in him unconditionally.
This must be what love is.
"Steward Qiu, go!"
Without further ado, Zhang Lingshan jumped onto the high platform first.
Zhao Xingqiu had no choice but to accept that Ji Buyi had given her two protective treasures, and if she hesitated and refused to go up, it would be disrespectful. So she had to bite the bullet and jump onto the platform as well.
Although the platform wasn't large, it was still more than enough for two people to stand on.
"Li Xuanbing, what should we do?"
Zhao Xingqiu asked somewhat nervously.
Zhang Lingshan said, "Don't rush, let me comprehend it. Maybe I can comprehend the tribulation of lightning."
"So you had no confidence at all, and you were just talking nonsense."
Zhao Xingqiu's legs went weak.
The person below spoke with such certainty, but the person above said they still needed to gain insight. That's just ridiculous.
You yourself are not afraid of death, but what grudge do I, Zhao Xingqiu, have against you that you want to play me like this?
"Don't panic, everything is under control."
Zhang Lingshan offered a calm reassurance before immediately sitting cross-legged and beginning to communicate with the tribulation lightning through the Heavenly Tribulation Eye between his eyebrows.
Being able to continue absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation here was something Zhang Lingshan had expected.
However, Zhang Lingshan could not guarantee whether he could attract another tribulation.
Just as he had told Ji Buyi before, the lightning tribulation recognized him. Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, it stopped sending down the lightning tribulation, and he had no reason to complain.
But it's not a big problem.
Because he had just undergone the tribulation of lightning, he had already entered the first stage of the lightning-based killing technique.
At worst, we can unleash a lightning strike and send it hurtling towards the sky; there's a very high chance the lightning tribulation will be drawn down.
The only drawback of doing this is that it exposes Zhang Lingshan's Thunderous Killing Tribulation ability.
But it's not a big problem.
Since Zhang Lingshan was an extraordinary man who broke through to the Golden Immortal realm after undergoing three tribulations of lightning, it was perfectly reasonable for him to have mastered a bit of the power of tribulation lightning.
Even if he ultimately fails and doesn't attract the tribulation lightning, he still managed to gain some experience points from the tribulation lightning power for half a day, which increased the experience points for opening the Heavenly Tribulation Eye.
In short, everyone made a huge profit and didn't lose anything.
Since we'll probably never be able to come back to Jinxiange again, we'll have one last meal before we leave, squeezing every last drop of flavor out of the place, so that our trip won't be in vain.
'Ah, I get it.'
Zhang Lingshan's heart suddenly stirred.
How could he forget the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye?
The ability to open the Heavenly Tribulation Eye allows one to bring forward, postpone, or superimpose the tribulations of others. So, if one were to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye to bring forward Zhao Xingqiu's lightning tribulation, wouldn't that mean directly facing the lightning tribulation?
Unless Zhao Xingqiu is destined to avoid the tribulation of lightning, he will definitely attract it.
But this is not possible.
Zhao Xingqiu isn't a complete waste, how could he not be subject to lightning tribulation?
Once you enter the Golden Immortal Pavilion, even a complete waste can attract a lightning tribulation. As long as his demands are not high and he is willing to attract a lightning tribulation on the worst D-level mountain, then he will definitely face a lightning tribulation.
Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Zhao Xingqiu's tribulation should have occurred on a Class C mountain peak or a Class B mountain peak.
Zhang Lingshan, on the other hand, could use the Heavenly Tribulation Eye to not only bring forward her tribulation but also transfer it to a top-tier mountain.
However, Zhang Lingshan has never truly used the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye; he has only used it to absorb the power of the lightning tribulation. Therefore, if he wants to achieve what he just mentioned, he still needs to act with caution.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan immediately calmed his mind and began to silently activate the Heavenly Tribulation Eye.
At this moment, he not only had to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye, but also had to suppress the manifestation of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye. He had to use it secretly in a way that others could not detect.
This is no simple matter.
After all, the Heavenly Tribulation Eye is a top-tier divine ability, no small matter. To use it while suppressing it would require an unknown amount of divine consciousness and soul power.
Fortunately, Zhang Lingshan possessed the Soul Tree, which allowed his divine consciousness to branch out into countless paths, thus making success possible.
But as time goes by...
Sudden.
Zhang Lingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on Zhao Xingqiu.
"what!"
Zhao Xingqiu let out a scream, feeling the blood was so hot it almost burned a hole in his body.
This terrified Zhao Xingqiu, who jumped up instantly. But she found that she had nothing on her body, not even the blood that Zhang Lingshan had vomited. It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
The pain from before also disappeared in an instant.
"What happened, Li Xuanbing? You're injured. What did you do?"
Seeing Zhang Lingshan's pale face, Zhao Xingqiu hurriedly asked in shock.
She was completely baffled, having no idea what had happened. Li Xuanbing was sitting there when he suddenly vomited blood. Had someone hit him? What was he doing?
"coming!"
But then Zhang Lingshan suddenly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Hurry up and circulate your cultivation technique, or you'll miss this opportunity."
"what?"
Zhao Xingqiu was startled, and then he heard thunder rumbling in the air, and he froze instantly.
Has it really attracted a lightning tribulation?
Just because he spat out a mouthful of blood, he attracted a lightning tribulation? That's too unbelievable.
Many people want to undergo a tribulation by lightning, but even spitting out a hundred mouthfuls of blood won't help.
but.
Li Xuanbing was already pale. Now that the tribulation lightning had arrived, could he withstand it?
"Don't worry about me, quickly circulate your cultivation technique."
Seeing that Zhao Xingqiu was actually looking at him with concern, Zhang Lingshan was speechless and hurriedly urged him on.
Hearing the rumbling thunder and noticing a crack appearing in the sky, Zhao Xingqiu dared not delay and quickly sat down cross-legged to begin circulating his internal energy.
Zhang Lingshan glanced at her shoulder.
He had just spat blood onto the other person's shoulder, which attracted the lightning tribulation.
I'm still not proficient.
It wasn't just because it was the first time he had used the Heavenly Tribulation Eye, but also because he had to suppress the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Eye's manifestation. Therefore, he had to vomit blood to force out a tribulation mark, which landed on Zhao Xingqiu, thus attracting the lightning tribulation.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and it was relatively successful.
With this experience, I will be able to use it more smoothly and quickly in the future.
Click!
With a deafening roar, a pale white lightning bolt pierced the sky and crashed down onto the high platform.
Zhao Xingqiu's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to activate the shield magic weapon that Ji Buyi had given him to protect himself. "Don't use it."
Zhang Lingshan stopped him, saying, "The tribulation of lightning is a baptism. The more power of the tribulation of lightning you absorb, the more potential you will develop. With me here, you don't need to worry about being blown up by the tribulation of lightning. I have experience."
Zhao Xingqiu was terrified. Looking at Zhang Lingshan, whose face was pale, he felt that Zhang Lingshan's words were not convincing.
You look pale yourself, how can you help me?
I'm afraid the lightning tribulation will blow you up in one go.
But soon, Zhao Xingqiu realized something was wrong. The other person was just pale, but now he was only slightly pale. Was his recovery so fast?
boom!
Before Zhao Xingqiu could process any further thoughts, the pale white lightning bolts struck down, landing heavily on Zhang Lingshan, who had suddenly jumped up.
At this moment, Zhang Lingshan himself seemed to become a shield, protecting Zhao Xingqiu's head.
Although he only managed to block it, he was knocked to the ground.
However, in just this one move, at least half of the lightning tribulation power was absorbed, and the rest was left for Zhao Xingqiu to absorb on his own.
Although Zhang Lingshan can absorb more, if he leaves too little for Zhao Xingqiu, Zhao Xingqiu might as well break through to a C-level mountain peak. Why bother breaking through to a C-level mountain peak with him?
Zhang Lingshan has already benefited greatly from being able to borrow half of the tribulation power from others; he should not be greedy any further.
Even so, the remaining half of the lightning tribulation still scorched Zhao Xingqiu's entire body, leaving him horrified. He frantically circulated his cultivation technique to dissolve and absorb the power of the lightning tribulation.
Swish.
Seeing this, Zhang Lingshan quickly unleashed a burst of icy spiritual energy, forming an ice shield around Zhao Xingqiu to protect him.
After the ice shield was blasted open by the power of the lightning tribulation, it could transform into water-based spiritual energy to help Zhao Xingqiu recover. Combining protection and accelerated cultivation, it instantly relieved Zhao Xingqiu of a great deal of pressure.
Seeing that Zhao Xingqiu had entered the state and only needed to absorb the remaining power of the tribulation lightning step by step to successfully break through to the Golden Immortal realm, Zhang Lingshan was relieved and began to dissolve the half of the tribulation lightning power that he had just absorbed.
As time slowly passed.
Immediately, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered.
This means that Zhao Xingqiu has successfully entered the realm of Golden Immortal!
However, because Zhang Lingshan had already used up a wave of immortal spiritual energy during his previous tribulation, the immortal spiritual energy in the vicinity was now much thinner.
At this moment, Ji Buyi raised his right hand, sending out a large number of spirit stones that instantly turned into dust, spreading around the high platform and replenishing Zhao Xingqiu's immortal spiritual energy.
then.
Zhao Xingqiu's path to becoming a Golden Immortal was now unobstructed. She pressed on with all her might, her aura rapidly rising, drawing all the surrounding immortal energy into her body.
But it seems there's still something missing.
Seeing this, Zhang Lingshan, without waiting for Ji Buyi to continue scattering spirit stones, scattered spirit stones from his storage ring, instantly shattering them into dust, which then surrounded Zhao Xingqiu.
With the replenishment of the immortal spiritual energy from these spirit stones, Zhao Xingqiu's cultivation technique ran more smoothly.
A moment later.
His aura finally stabilized, and he looked radiant with immense joy.
Zhao Xingqiu discovered that his breakthrough to Golden Immortal had bypassed the entry level and directly reached the early stage of Golden Immortal, even approaching the middle stage.
This speed is not just fast, it's astonishingly fast, something I never dared to imagine before.
According to Zhao Xingqiu's own estimation, he would be lucky to stabilize his realm at the entry level of Golden Immortal after breaking through at the Golden Immortal Pavilion; he wouldn't even dare to dream of the initial stage.
But I didn't expect that.
Zhang Lingshan's breakthrough on the top-tier mountain peak actually brought him almost to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
That's unbelievable!
No wonder Li Xuanbing kept spouting wild claims, saying that this was Zhao Xingqiu's good fortune. I thought he was just talking nonsense, but little did I know that he had actually toned it down a bit.
This opportunity can be said to be one of the greatest opportunities in Zhao Xingqiu's life.
Another major opportunity came from following the Ice Fairy.
At this moment, although Zhang Lingshan is not yet comparable to Lord Bingxian in Zhao Xingqiu's eyes, the gap is not far.
Because both of them were incredibly kind people who helped her change her fate.
"Young Master Li, your kindness and virtue are beyond repayment!"
Zhao Xingqiu bowed solemnly to Zhang Lingshan, even changing his form of address, showing utmost respect.
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "It's just returning a favor. We're all good friends, no need to be so polite. Besides, I also benefited from this tribulation. Alright, now that you've broken through, let's go down. Senior Brother Ji is still urging us to leave the Golden Immortal Pavilion."
"Ah."
Zhao Xingqiu nodded and immediately followed Zhang Lingshan down.
At this moment, a large crowd gathered around the mountain peak, all of them dumbfounded, wondering if they were seeing things.
There were two people undergoing their tribulations, one of whom was Li Xuanbing, who had just undergone his own tribulation.
What's up with this guy.
Three lightning tribulations weren't enough for him, so another one came?
Moreover, this new tribulation of lightning came too quickly. Is this mountain bewitched by something, so that everyone who comes here to comprehend the tribulation of lightning can break through?
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Zhao Xingqiu also suddenly encountered the tribulation of lightning here.
Thinking of this, some people immediately had an idea and hurriedly headed towards the Exchange Peak.
While I still have enough contribution points, I need to hurry up and exchange for this mountain peak to occupy it. Otherwise, if someone else snatches it away, I will miss the good opportunity to successfully comprehend the tribulation and break through.
When the others saw that this person had moved, they all realized what was happening, and those who had enough contribution points frantically chased after him.
However, none of this has anything to do with Zhang Lingshan anymore.
At this moment, Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting to Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi, and said with a smile, "I have not failed in my mission."
Kong Ruobing smiled, quite satisfied. As expected of the person she had chosen, he had not disappointed her.
Ji Buyi sighed, "Alright, I misjudged you. You're really something. Let's go then. This place's value ends here."
"Yes."
Zhang Lingshan nodded.
I've already experienced enough of the tribulations here.
The lightning tribulation that Zhao Xingqiu had just summoned was far less powerful than his own final lightning tribulation. The difference was too great, so it was clear that staying here, even if he could borrow others to summon more lightning, would not be very effective.
So there's no need to waste time here.
Let's go with Kong Ruobing and Ji Buyi to the Ice Spirit Sect they mentioned; perhaps there will be even better opportunities there.
soon.
The four of them then flew out of the Golden Immortal Pavilion.
Zhao Xingqiu asked, "Where is Lady Bingxian? Are you all going to the Ice Spirit Sect? Should I come along too?"
Kong Ruobing said, "Although you are not an ice elementalist, the Ice Spirit Sect also has water elementalists. If you are interested, let's go together."
"Thank you, Lady Ice Fairy."
Zhao Xingqiu was overjoyed.
She had only ever heard of major sects like the Ice Spirit Sect; she had never actually visited them.
We have to thank Lady Bingxian and Li Xuanbing for this opportunity.
These two are truly my benefactors; I'm sure I'll gain something from this trip if I follow them.
"Junior Brother Li, now that you've broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, I don't have anything particularly good to offer, so I'll just give you a flying magic weapon."
Ji Buyi chuckled and took out a ship-shaped flying magic artifact, saying, "Let's take this back to the Ice Spirit Sect. Once we arrive, you can put it away; it'll be yours."
"Senior brother, you're too kind."
Zhang Lingshan bowed in thanks, then casually took out a few sheets of paper, drew a few ice talismans, and gave them to Ji Buyi.
You can't just take things from people for nothing.
Reciprocity is key. (End of Chapter)
