Chapter 383: Chapter 83 Lu Youjiu’s Tribulation
“Oh right, bitch Zhang…”
“You kept mentioning ‘Above the Divinity Transformation,’ what exactly is that realm?”
At this moment, Yan Wanfei looked interested as he asked Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian, looking helpless, spread his hands and said:
“I’m not clear about that…”
“The law is not to be passed on… It seems that this realm can only be known after reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage.”
“For us lower-ranked cultivators, we simply refer to it as ‘Above the Divinity Transformation.'”
Yan Wanfei pursed his lips and said:
“I thought you would know…”
“What a waste of my expressions.”
Zhang Jian directly glared at him and said:
“What do you think I am, a know-it-all?”
Yet, Yan Wanfei, still not giving up, continued to question Zhang Jian:
“Then, in the Southern Outer Seas, are there any existences ‘Above the Divinity Transformation’?”
Zhang Jian frowned, thought for a moment, and said:
“This…”
“I have indeed heard some things. It is said that the Lord of Bihai City is an existence ‘Above the Divinity Transformation.'”
“Other than that, I’m not clear.”
“As for the Thousand Islands Domain, I have never heard of anyone with a cultivation ‘Above the Divinity Transformation.’ Even if there were, if they do not wish to reveal themselves, we wouldn’t know.”
Yan Wanfei muttered:
“That’s true…”
After Yan Wanfei finished speaking, Zhang Jian continued to address the two of them:
“I find that you are too unfamiliar with the entire Thousand Islands Domain.”
“Thus…”
“When I return, I’ll find some relevant books or materials for you to read.”
“Don’t accidentally provoke those formidable individuals and bring unnecessary disaster upon yourselves.”
“In the Thousand Islands Domain, there are thousands of islands, and the minimum cultivation level of an island master is at the Golden Core Stage. Do you know how many Nascent Soul Cultivators there are here, or how many Divine Transformation Cultivators?”
“So, it is best to keep a low profile.”
After listening, the two nodded their heads, and then Lin Jing bowed with his fists and said:
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Zhang.”
“Brother Lin is too polite,” Zhang Jian replied.
“Oh right, Brother Zhang…”
“If you’re interested in cultivating spirit plants, there is indeed someone on our island who is proficient in cultivating spirit plants, and she also has a family spell specifically for taking care of spirit plants.”
“Brother Zhang, if you wish to learn, you’ll have to find her yourself. Although we now occupy this island, we can’t force her to do anything.”
After hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded:
“I understand, after all, there are many original islanders on each island, and cultivators, even if occupying an island, will coexist peacefully with them.”
After speaking, Zhang Jian continued:
“Since it is a family cultivation technique…”
“I will think about it. If not, I might pay a price to see if I can get her to print a copy for me.”
“That should be no problem…” Lin Jing added.
…
…
Afterwards, the group conversed for a while, and then Lin Jing took Zhang Jian to find Yue Qiniang to exchange cultivation techniques.
……
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed.
Lu Youjiu had finally accumulated enough and came out of seclusion.
As soon as Lu Youjiu emerged from seclusion, he met Lin Jing and the others.
At this time, Holaw Three Rivers stepped forward, pulled out a Storage Bag, and handed it to Lu Youjiu, saying:
“This is prepared for you, Tribulation-crossing Magical Treasure, and the Tribulation Elixir Medicine that Brother Lin prepared for you. All are here.”
“The location for crossing the tribulation that we previously found is also ready.”
“We can head there now.”
Lu Youjiu nodded and said:
“Good, let’s set off now.”
After speaking, the group boarded the Flying Boat and flew towards the previously-found location for crossing the tribulation…
……
Riding the Flying Boat after several days of continuous flight, Lin Jing and the others finally arrived at the small island prepared for crossing the tribulation.
This place, being quite far from the Thousand Islands Domain and surrounded by a region where spiritual energy is quite sparse, rarely saw other cultivators visit.
Thus, there would be no disturbances.
However, as a location for crossing the tribulation, it was perfectly suitable.
Upon arriving on the island, they immediately descended.
Just in the center of the island, a huge Formation had been leveled and dominated the area.
This Formation, set up by Holaw Three Rivers, was to assist Lu Youjiu in his tribulation.
After landing on the island, Holaw Three Rivers proceeded to check the Formation and, seeing no anomalies, indicated to Lu Youjiu that he could begin.
Lu Youjiu nodded, then settled himself cross-legged in the middle of the Formation.
Then.
Holaw Three Rivers turned back to Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei and said:
“Brother Lin, Niu San…”
“Each of you guard a direction. Be careful not to let any other cultivators or Demonic Beasts come and disturb us.”
Lin Jing nodded and said, “No problem.”
Yan Wanfei agreed as well, “Don’t worry, San He.”
Having said that, the two split apart, one to the south and the other to the north, leaving the island.
The island was not large, covering only a few square kilometers, and the tribulation Lu Youjiu had to cross was the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.
The range of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was not small, so to avoid being detected by the Heavenly Tribulation, it was necessary to stay far from the island.
Only when they felt their positions were roughly right did the two stop.
Meanwhile, Holaw Three Rivers set up the final array encircling the entire island on the island.
This large array was not for aiding in resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, but the main purpose was for protection in case of accidents.
Several hours passed, and the island-surrounding large array had been set up, and Holaw Three Rivers also left the island.
At this moment, in the middle of the island, only Lu Youjiu remained, meditating.
……
Time elapsed, and quickly two days passed.
By now, Lu Youjiu had elevated his cultivation to its optimal state.
However, he suddenly opened his eyes, then took out a small jade vial from his storage bag, and poured out a Nirvana Elixir from it.
He then tossed it directly into his mouth and continued to meditate.
This scene was naturally seen by Lin Jing and the others.
Therefore, they retreated further back, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.
…
…
Finally.
After a few more hours, Lin Jing and the others began to sense an unusual aura.
The atmosphere in the sky seemed to start becoming oppressive.
The originally calm sea surface also began to stir up waves at this time.
In the sky, dark clouds started to converge above the island, forming a layer of black curtain.
As time slowly passed, the dark clouds in the sky also became thicker.
Even the atmosphere between heaven and earth grew increasingly heavy with the gathering of the Tribulation Clouds.
Until an hour had passed, the Tribulation Lightning had still not descended.
However, by now, the Tribulation Clouds had completely enveloped the entire island.
Inside those clouds, the sound of rumbling thunder continued, along with various lightning continuously within the clouds.
As the dark Tribulation Clouds kept rolling.
By this time, Lu Youjiu had already stopped meditating, stood up, tilted his head back, and stared directly at the Tribulation Lightning above.
Even his Cold Light Longsword was already in his hands, clearly, Lu Youjiu was ready, just waiting for the Tribulation Lightning to fall.
Finally.
After waiting for quite a while more.
“Boom”
A loud thunderclap came, and the first wave of Tribulation Lightning struck directly towards the center of the island, where Lu Youjiu was.
At this moment, Lin Jing, watching this scene from afar on the sea surface, was also deeply shaken by this wave of Tribulation Lightning.
This being just the first wave of Tribulation Lightning, it was already terrifying.
Even from a distance, Lin Jing could distinctly feel the destructive aura of the Tribulation Lightning.
Moreover, this wave of Tribulation Lightning was thicker than any he had seen before, including those he experienced during his own tribulation.
A breath later.
The Tribulation Lightning dissipated, and Lin Jing saw everything on the island again.
This wave of Tribulation Lightning was indeed not small; the first strike alone destroyed a large area of the island’s mountains and trees.
It had flattened a whole large area.
However, situated at the center of the formation, Lu Youjiu seemed normal, showing no signs of abnormality.
Suddenly, the second wave of Tribulation Lightning followed.
The dazzling lightning engulfed Lu Youjiu once again…
At this moment, Lin Jing saw that the formation set up by Holaw Three Rivers was frantically operating, diverting the power of the Heavenly Tribulation elsewhere.
As for those powers that could not be diverted, they were directly absorbed by Lu Youjiu himself.
Only now did Lin Jing understand, no wonder the first wave of Tribulation Lightning caused such massive destruction to the island.
It was because of the formation.
The second wave of Tribulation Lightning also quickly dissipated.
Located within the formation, Lu Youjiu was still unharmed.
After a period of brewing in the sky, the Tribulation Clouds began to stir again, followed by…
The third wave…
The fourth wave…
The fifth wave…
…
…
Several consecutive waves of Tribulation Lightning struck down.
The formation set up by Holaw Three Rivers ultimately could not withstand it, and with a loud “bang,” it burst open.
At this time.
The sixth wave of Tribulation Lightning had just ended.
The entire island was already a sight of devastation.
Even the sole mountain on the island had been flattened by this terrifying Tribulation Lightning.
Fortunately, this was originally an uninhabited island; otherwise, no one would have escaped.
At this time, the defensive formation had shattered.
The subsequent last three waves of Tribulation Lightning were now up to Lu Youjiu himself.
However, fortunately, from the beginning to now, Lu Youjiu’s consumption had not been very great, so the upcoming waves of Tribulation Lightning should not pose any problem.
The final three waves of Tribulation Lightning always took a long time to brew.
By now, Lu Youjiu had already produced two Defensive Magical Treasures and looked up at the skies, at the ceaselessly churning Tribulation Clouds.
“Crackle…”
In an instant, countless Tribulation Lightning converged into a beam a hundred meters in diameter and struck directly down.
This seventh wave of Tribulation Lightning, before its appearance, had not shown any signs whatsoever.
From afar, Lin Jing, watching this robust column of thunder, felt somewhat terrified.
Moreover, this seventh wave of Tribulation Lightning lasted particularly long.
It lasted for three breaths.
When the Tribulation Lightning dissipated, Lin Jing saw Lu Youjiu in the center of the island, now injured and his spiritual power dimmed significantly.
At this moment, Lin Jing saw.
Lu Youjiu took out two Pure Jade Boxes, then took out the Elixir Medicine inside them and swallowed it.
After swallowing them, Lu Youjiu immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate again.
Because.
The upcoming last two waves of Tribulation Lightning were the most crucial and also the most challenging.
He had to restore his condition to its best, to face the upcoming two waves of Tribulation Lightning in a more perfect state.
Moreover, this challenge could only depend on him alone.
No one else could help him.
