With the reunion of the Spiritual Thoughts, thousands of Spiritual Thoughts madly devoured the lightning in the clouds. For a time, the lightning and the Spiritual Thoughts devoured each other, gradually falling into a stalemate.
After an unknown period of time, in this tug-of-war, Cheng Hao's Spiritual Thoughts gradually gained the upper hand. Finally, thousands of Spiritual Thoughts suddenly worked together to devour the surrounding lightning. Then, they condensed into a golden body of the Great Buddha of the Past!
As the Great Buddha of the Great Buddha condensed again, it emitted a faint Pure Yang Power. Under this power, the lightning, which originally wanted to devour Cheng Hao's Spiritual Thoughts, stopped when it got close to the Great Buddha. It only wandered around, not daring to take half a step forward.
At this point, Cheng Hao had a clear understanding in his heart. He had already passed the first Thunder Tribulation, and the Pure Yang Force had been born in his Divine Soul. Now, he was like boarding a big ship in the vast ocean. Although there were still countless sharks in the sea trying to attack him, they could do nothing to him no matter what they did!
After condensing the Great Buddha of the Past again and standing firm, Cheng Hao had the time to carefully look at the environment he was in at this time.
In this space of dark clouds where Yin and Yang Qi mixed, Cheng Hao's Spiritual Soul was at the edge of a huge space. In the center of this space, there were constant explosions and vibrations. Rolling Heavenly Thunder, with the will of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, constantly swept out from the center of the space.
Cheng Hao sensed that this mysterious cloud space was divided into nine regions. The power of Heavenly Thunder in the central region was the most violent and ferocious. It was as if the Heavenly Thunder had created the heavens. Countless auras of life and death surged in it. Every time the Heavenly Thunder exploded, Cheng Hao could faintly feel a small crack being torn open. It seemed to open a passage from the Great Thousand World to the Minor Thousand World.
"Every time the Heavenly Thunder explodes, there is a cycle of life and death in a Spirit Space. Is this the power of the ninth Thunder Tribulation? If I pass the ninth Thunder Tribulation, won't I have the strength to open up a Spirit Space at will? "
Although this idea was very tempting, Cheng Hao was abnormally calm. He didn't rush into the lightning zone in a hot-headed manner. Currently, he was only at the outermost area of the first lightning tribulation. For the time being, he had no plans to go deeper into the second lightning tribulation.
"After passing the first Thunder Tribulation, my Divine Soul already has the power of pure Yang. Even if I reincarnate in the future, I won't have the mystery of being in the womb. So far, my cultivation plan in this world has basically achieved its goal!"
Being cautious and knowing when to stop was Cheng Hao's character.
He didn't have Hong Yi's heaven-defying power of providence, and he didn't expect to reach the peak of the Immortal Dao in a short time. Judging the situation and accomplishing the goal within the limits of one's ability was already something to be happy about.
Since ancient times, a man whose heart was not content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. In less than three years, he had reached the realm of the first Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, which was comparable to the hundreds of years of hard work of most practitioners. If he was not content and greedy, he would be in great danger later.
"Hmm?"
Just as Cheng Hao was about to leave this cloud space with his Divine Soul and return to his Marquis Ding's residence, he suddenly felt an explosive fluctuation from the cloud layer in the distance. It seemed that someone had launched a battle of Divine Souls outside the distant Jade Capital.
With a thought, Cheng Hao's Divine Soul with the power of pure Yang rushed out of the cloud layer like a bolt of lightning, rushing in the direction of the aftermath of the battle.
However, although Cheng Hao's Divine Soul flew very fast, by the time he arrived, there was no one fighting on the battlefield. Relying on the fluctuation of Dao techniques left in the void, Cheng Hao felt a trace of Hong Yi's aura.
"It seems that Hong Yi has already passed the first lightning tribulation during this spring lightning tribulation. He even has the strength to fight with others. Every time this fellow fights, he will obtain an opportunity. I wonder if he obtained a treasure or a cultivation technique this time?"
Since the battle had ended, Cheng Hao did not have the intention to get to the bottom of it. In short, with Hong Yi's power of fate, unless the legendary Sect Master of the Taishang Dao, Meng Shenji, suddenly attacked, there were not many people who could do anything to him. Now that Hong Yi had grown up, there was no need for him to be overly concerned about him!
.....
Returning to his residence, Cheng Hao's Divine Soul returned to his body and removed the various defensive arrangements in his study. Then, he opened the door in a good mood and strolled leisurely in the courtyard.
Raising his head to look at the sky, the Spring Rain and Spring Thunder had already dissipated. However, Cheng Hao could faintly feel that there seemed to be an even more oppressive layer of dark clouds brewing in the sky above the Jade Capital. It was obvious that the power struggle between various parties had gradually reached a white-hot level.
"The muddy waters in the Jade Capital are getting muddier and muddier. Imperial authority, aristocratic families, Immortal Dao sects … Various powers are already getting restless. I can't suppress them any longer. I can't stay in this world any longer. I don't have Hong Yi's heavenly providence. It's too dangerous for me to continue staying here. "
Looking at the sky, Cheng Hao finally made up his mind to leave this world as soon as possible. After all, he was not from this world and did not want to get involved in the power struggle of this world. Although he seemed to be free and no one came to provoke him, he was still a Marquis. As long as he stayed in the Jade Capital, he would not be able to escape from trouble.
In the next few days, Cheng Hao did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in his study and continuously refined his corporeal body and spirit. He was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the imperial examinations.
When he was fighting with Hong Xuanji, he had said that he would protect Hong Yi until the end of the imperial examinations. This was his promise to Hong Yi, and he had to keep it!
Not for other reasons, but for him to be able to reach the level of a Lightning Tribulation Ghost Immortal in less than three years, it was all thanks to Hong Yi. Without the Sutra of the Past and without the various techniques bestowed by Hong Yi, he would probably still be a lost little cultivator on the path of Immortal Dao.
This was a favor that he, Cheng Hao, had to acknowledge!
However, that was all he could do. Protecting Hong Yi until the end of the imperial examinations was already the greatest effort that Cheng Hao could do. Hong Yi's providence was simply too strong. He basically did not need his protection on the path that followed.
.....
On the 11th day of the third lunar month, the imperial examinations of the Great Qian Dynasty ended. Cheng Hao sat cross-legged on the floor of his study. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he temporarily stopped his cultivation of the Earth Pole and Spirit Consciousness left his body and circled around the Jade Capital.
After confirming that Hong Yi wasn't in any danger for the time being and that the Emperor had personally designated him as the winner of the Huiyuan Competition, Cheng Hao revealed a relieved smile.
