Chapter 703 Successful Pill Tribulation!



Chapter 703 Successful Pill Tribulation!

?A powerful giant lightning bolt surged forward and fell in the direction of Daihang Guan, striking first.

"You think I won't be prepared?" Daihang Guan snorted towards the tribulation lightning and the next moment he took out several talismans and formation flags, scattering them in the air around him. Daihang Guan disappeared from the place and only the pill essence surrounded by the talismans and flags remained.

The pill essence moved in a different direction when it was released from Daihang Guan's hands, only to crash into an invisible wall in the air!

The talismans and formation flags created a mysterious formation in the air restricting the pill and preventing it from escaping!

* Boom! *

The first lightning bolt fell and smashed into the formation in the air, also smashing into the pill essence and causing its essence to solidify!

* Crack~ *

A crack like a sheet of paper tearing was heard as Daihang Guan noticed that the formation was about to collapse.

"It really deserves to be the heavenly pill tribulation. This power even horrifyingly surpasses the heavenly tribulation to enter the Great Ascension realm." Daihang Guan couldn't help but be shocked as he felt the terrifying energy coming from the tribulation lightning as he flew out a few more meters as he was still hit by the terrifying impact. He was sure that he would not come out unscathed if he was hit directly, even the impact had slightly moved his internal organs.

"Senior Brother!"

A voice filled with utmost worry was heard as Daihang Guan steadied himself in midair after being hit by the impact, but he wasted no time and once again threw out other talismans and formation flags, and this time, he also added some mysterious runes, complementing the formation smoothly.

The cracks in the formation around the pill essence were repaired again, just in time before the second bolt of lightning struck and struck with terror.

* Boom~ *

The second and third bolts of lightning fell in succession, striking the pill in the formation and causing it to solidify further. The radiance emitted shone even more as the energy within it seemed to gradually concentrate.

However, the power by the pill's tribulation was intense, causing some cracks to appear in the formation again and threatening to destroy it. The runes Daihang Guan added proved to be powerful, this time managing to resist two bolts of the tribulation arc.

"Don't worry, brother. I have some formations that can help greatly resist the heavenly tribulation!"

Lu Wuhu appeared at Daihang Guan's side when his hands were already in motion, throwing various formation flags and fusing them easily to the formation made by Daihang Guan. The formation flags quickly fused together and the cracks were repaired; a faint and almost noticeable barrier could also be noticed around the pill.

This time, the pill's essence was almost no longer moving, as if it had no energy. Being directly hit by three tribulation rays seemed to have affected the spirit within it.

The remaining four rays finally fell, fiercely striking the pill in the sky as they created an unparalleled event.

The formation made around the pill was rapidly filling with cracks, demonstrating the horrors of the tribulation of the heavens.

"What is that in the sky?"

"Is it the birth of a natural treasure? How else could the tribulation of the heavens appear?"

"What a horrible heavenly tribulation! Could it be a hidden expert who is trying to go unnoticed?"

"No! Look! Isn't that the Vice President of the Alchemy Association? Grandmaster Daihang!"

"And also standing next to him is the Vice President of the Formations Association, Grandmaster Lu!"

The event that manifested in the sky above the Alchemy Association was striking enough for almost the entire city of Yuan Le to witness. Many pointed in horror and others in shock, thinking about what might be happening. Many recognized Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu in the sky near the heavenly tribulation.

* Boom~ *

A shockwave originated from the formation as it finally exploded, spreading across the sky above Yuan Le City.

"... did it r-really form?"

Lu Wuhu whispered in a daze as Daihang Guan approached towards the pill floating silently in the sky. The heavenly tribulation ended after the seventh lightning struck, with the dark clouds in the sky dispersing at once.

A soft rainbow light descended on the pill, enveloping both Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu. This rainbow seemed to come from nine giant clouds so beautiful and bright in the sky, it could be appreciated by almost the whole city.

Both of them were stunned for a few moments before quickly descending towards the pavilion where they were previously. Daihang Guan quickly took the pill and stored it in a jade bottle inside his storage ring, subsequently following Lu Wuhu back to the pavilion.

Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu sat cross-legged and entered into meditation without saying a word.

This stunned several, especially Elder Woo Chin and Master Fengta. Yi Jingwen approached quickly but quietly, with a worried face as she seemed to scan every inch of Daihang Guan's body with her eyes looking for injuries or anything out of the ordinary.

Silence quickly formed as Lu Wuhu and Daihang Guan went into meditation while still thinking about what had just happened as well. It was the first time they had witnessed something like this!

"These brats..."

Ling Tian looked on with a helpless smile as he watched the two of them enter meditation without hesitation. It was to be known that when one obtained enlightenment they would quickly enter cultivation to meditate what they gained and have a primordial breakthrough in either might or spirit. But before that everyone would seek to be in a safe place or with someone's protection as they would be at a total disadvantage and could be killed in the worst case scenario; some would rather take risks and meditate without protection as gaining an enlightenment was much more difficult than having a significant breakthrough or advancing several realms in succession.

Ling Tian was not surprised that Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu had enlightenment, but because they both seemed to be careless. Although he thought on one hand that it might be because of his presence that they were not so cautious, so they thought of him protecting them.

"Wow~ I had read about pill tribulations in ancient texts but I had never seen one." Xue Ning commented in surprise as she watched Lu Wuhu and Daihang Guan meditate.

"It really was a pill tribulation?"

As if confirming her suspicions upon hearing Xue Ning's words, Nalan Ziqing responded stunned as well. Her eyes looked at the destroyed pill furnace as well as the change in the clouds in the sky and then at both men silently meditating.

Both Xuanyuan Ling and Xuanyuan Haoyun also looked silently but shocked at their two Masters. Although their Masters had performed many incredible feats and deeds, this marvelous event might be the first to mark history in the entire world!

"That tribulation was very frightening..." Shan Qingwu stammered just as surprised, but still with a trace of pallor as she recalled the terrifying arc of lightning in the sky. Her heavenly tribulations so far were nothing comparable to that of these heavenly lightning bolts!

"That's normal, I think. I understand that this pill surpasses the power of the world's laws, which is why this tribulation was so thunderous. But you shouldn't worry about unnecessary things! As long as you cultivate well and have a solid foundation your heavenly tribulations cannot kill you."

As if sensing her worries and fears, Long Yuyin added with an expression full of confidence and assurance towards Shan Qingwu. She clenched her fist demonstrating courage and strength. Although Long Yuyin did not know much about alchemy unlike Mu Shuiruo, she still had knowledge of it.

Shan Qingwu listened to Long Yuyin and nodded slowly. She wanted to have the confidence and assurance of this senior sister of hers, but she had nerves in her heart.

"Tribulation for the creation of a pill... exceeding the world limits and laws allowed..."

Mu Shuiruo whispered quietly as she stood gazing up at the sky, watching the bright clouds flying by calmly as if nothing had happened. But her beautiful and tender eyes clearly showed understanding and thoughts in her consciousness, as if a veil had fallen from her eyes and she understood a certain essence of alchemy and the world.

"Uhm! Normally when you are creating something that surpasses the limitation of the world it will trigger a tribulation to try to counteract this, as it cannot allow that a level above it could exist. This applies not only to alchemy, but also to formations, refinements, creations and more."

As if listening to Mu Shuiruo's thoughts, Ling Tian approached and explained in a few words with a sweet smile.

"Mhn? So it's like this..." Mu Shuiruo turned to look at Ling Tian and then smiled gratefully when she understood what he meant.

"Since we're here and while we're waiting for the two of them to wake up, why don't you help me look for medicinal materials for my recovery? I think you'll know which ones might be essential, little Shuiruo." Ling Tian took Mu Shuiruo's small, soft hand and walked with her towards the jade shelves above that contained various spiritual grasses. A few moments ago he had barely gone through a small portion of the jade drawers in the room. Besides, this could be considered a small reward for helping in the pill formation.

"Alright!" Mu Shuiruo instantly recalled the main worry in her heart regarding Ling Tian. She and all her sisters clearly wanted their husband to recover quickly.

Ling Tian and Mu Shuiruo began searching through all the jade drawers throughout the room for spiritual grasses, even looking in the lower level section of spiritual grasses.

"Huh? Who do you think you are? What do you think you're doing?!"

Several seconds after Ling Tian and Mu Shuiruo started searching through the jade shelves, a furious voice full of anger but clearly with a low tone was heard in the room.
