Cultivators that could come to the Lifeless Riverbed were naturally not weaklings; almost all of them were people that were extremely sensitive to treasures. Now that experts from the Immortal World said that they would keep ants like them, if they didn't know that these experts wanted to kill them, then they would be idiots.
The moment these words were said, everyone started to use all their methods as they frantically escaped in all directions.
If it was outside, the five of them might have the confidence to keep these hundreds of people here. But now, they were at the Lifeless Riverbed, and these five people were all using regulation talismans, so their strength was already suppressed. With so many cultivators escaping in all directions, the five of them were unable to catch them all.
Fortunately, no one noticed that he wasn't escaping towards the surface of the river, but towards the depths of the Lifeless Riverbed.
Half a day later, Mo Wuji arrived at the location of the black whirlpool. The black whirlpool hadn't appeared yet, so Mo Wuji could only hide and wait anxiously.
At the same time, the Heavenly Immortal cultivators that charged out from the surface of the Lifeless Riverbed, except for a few who were extremely fast or had some special methods, most of them were captured by the five experts.
This was also the disadvantage of escaping from the bottom of the river. If it was any other place, with so many people escaping in all directions, it would be very difficult for the five experts to catch them.
Now that the five experts weren't able to catch anyone, they might as well wait on the surface of the river.
Po Feng was the last to arrive at the Lifeless Riverbed. Amongst the five experts from the Immortal World, he was clearly the strongest.
At this instant, his gaze shifted from the hundred over Heavenly Immortal cultivators to the other four experts from the Immortal World. Only then did he say, "Dao friends, the gourd is definitely with one of us. As for who it is, I believe that the truth will come to light very soon. As for the few that escaped, I believe that we will be able to find them very soon. "
"What if someone is still at the bottom of the river?" A short man harrumphed, disapproving of Po Feng's words.
Po Feng jolted slightly, but he soon realised that the other party was right. What if someone didn't escape, but stayed at the bottom of the river?
"No matter who it is, I believe that as long as they come to the Lifeless Riverbed, someone will know," Po Feng answered.
The Lifeless Riverbed was boundless. If someone really stayed at the bottom of the river, with their abilities, it would be hard for them to find out.
…
Mo Wuji waited for more than two hours before the black whirlpool finally appeared. Mo Wuji directly entered it.
At almost the same instant Mo Wuji entered the black whirlpool, a shockingly strong spiritual will swept over. This spiritual will was many times stronger than the previous five.
This spiritual will paused at the place where Mo Wuji stopped for a moment, but it soon moved away. His Divine Sense swept past the whirlpool at the bottom of the river, but it didn't seem to notice anything and didn't stop.
The five experts who came to the surface of the Lifeless River also felt this spiritual will. They immediately bowed down and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Heavenly Emperor."
"Which one of you has obtained something from the Lifeless Dao Sect?" A spiritual will came from the void, bringing with it an undeniable sense of majesty.
Po Feng was the strongest. He knew that if the Celestial Thearch were to ask about it, even if he found the gourd, he wouldn't have a share. Although he knew that he had nothing to do with it, he had no choice but to stand up and bow. "The gourd disappeared into thin air. We're currently looking for it."
As the spiritual will pressure in the void dissipated, a faintly discernible figure slowly appeared.
…
At this instant, Mo Wuji had already stepped onto the ninth step of the Immortal Seeking Staircase. His figure gradually disappeared from the Immortal Seeking Staircase as he entered the mist at the top of the golden Immortal Seeking Staircase.
Mo Wuji's whirlpool domain extended outwards. The Immortal Seeking Staircase seemed to have no pressure on him at all.
Multiple hours later, Mo Wuji's body felt light. Following which, a strong force swept him up.
"Boom!" Mo Wuji felt as though he was flung down from mid-air as he landed in the middle of a pile of ruins.
Dense immortal spiritual energy surged over. Mo Wuji hadn't even started cultivating, but he could already feel his meridians completely unobstructed.
His spiritual will swept outwards. Other than the ruins he was in, there was a patch of mist further away. It was a mountain range.
From the looks of it, this should be the Immortal World. After exiting the Lifeless River's Immortal Seeking Staircase, it shouldn't be a fixed location, but a random transfer location. It was just that Mo Wuji didn't know which Immortal Domain he was in.
Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about where he was, a vast and powerful energy locked onto him. Following which, the sky above his head turned dark.
It was actually a lightning tribulation?
Mo Wuji lifted his head to look at the dense dark clouds and the lightning that was brewing within the clouds. His heart was filled with doubts. Clearly, it wasn't time for him to undergo the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation. Since it wasn't the Golden Immortal Lightning Tribulation, then what was his lightning tribulation?
Could it be that every cultivator that exited the Lifeless River's Immortal Seeking Staircase had to undergo such a lightning tribulation?
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji started to worry.
He wasn't worried about his own lightning tribulation. Back when he was condensing his Undying World, he had also experienced such a terrifying lightning tribulation. What kind of lightning tribulation could make him worry? What he was worried about was Lou Chuanhe, Ku Ya and co. If Lou Chuanhe and co. were to undergo such a lightning tribulation the moment they exited the Immortal World, then how many of them would be able to survive?
"Boom boom boom!" Nine thick lightning bolts came crashing down. Mo Wuji couldn't think of anything else as he immediately threw out a few punches.
"Crack crack crack crack!" Nine lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji's body. Even Mo Wuji could hear the bone-chilling sound of his bones breaking.
"Bang!" A pile of soil was sent flying as Mo Wuji was thrown into a mud pit.
This was only the first wave of lightning bolts. At this point, Mo Wuji completely understood that he had underestimated the power of the Immortal World's lightning tribulation. Even if he survived this lightning tribulation, he would still be extremely weak.
Mo Wuji swallowed a few healing immortal pills and took out his Half Moon Halberd.
Ever since he could absorb lightning essence, Mo Wuji rarely used magic treasures to aid in his tribulation. Now, he had no choice but to take out his own magic treasure.
"Boom boom boom!" The second wave of lightning bolts came crashing down. It was still the same nine lightning bolts. Compared to the first wave, Mo Wuji could feel that his second wave was much stronger.
Mo Wuji couldn't care about anything else. The Half Moon Halberd transformed into countless Half Moon Halberd Radiance which shot towards the lightning bolts. At the same time, multiple lightning swords shot out. All of his meridians started to circulate in reverse, forming a huge circulation.
The lightning bolts that struck his body started to be swept into his meridians, turning into Mo Wuji's cultivation level.
The vitality from the vitality channel rapidly nourished Mo Wuji's cracked bones. It fused with the medicinal properties of the immortal pills, speeding up the recovery of Mo Wuji's injuries.
Mo Wuji's injuries had yet to fully recover. The third and fourth wave of lightning bolts came crashing down at the same time. Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Under these two waves of lightning, several of his meridians broke.
What a powerful lightning tribulation. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked. Even when he condensed his pocket dimension, the densely packed lightning bolts weren't as powerful as this lightning tribulation.
What exactly was going on?
"Kacha!" Mo Wuji's waist was directly broken. At this point, even if his vitality channel and elemental storage channel were to continuously heal his body, he still wouldn't be able to stand up. His recovery speed couldn't compare to the severity of his injuries.
This was the first time Mo Wuji felt the threat of death. Seeing the black clouds in the sky once again, Mo Wuji knew that if he didn't think of a solution, he might die under this lightning tribulation.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji took out three green pills and swallowed them in one go. Then, he took out a pile of immortal crystals and threw them by his side. While his elemental storage channel was healing his meridians, his other meridians were furiously gathering immortal spiritual energy to charge into the Golden Immortal Stage.
It wasn't that Mo Wuji was crazy, but he knew that this was his only way out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed three Falling Dust Immortal Pills in one go.
This lightning tribulation was already something he couldn't handle. If he were to add the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation on top of it, he might just turn into ashes.
However, the reality was that if he didn't attract the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation, his cultivation level wouldn't rise. If his cultivation level didn't rise, he could only wait for death.
If he attracted the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation, he might be able to advance into the Golden Immortal Stage.
The violent immortal spiritual energy directly crashed against Mo Wuji's Heavenly Immortal shackles. Mo Wuji's cultivation shackles started to tremble.
"Kakakaka!" Another wave of lightning bolts came crashing down. Mo Wuji's newly fused bones continued to break. Not only did the violent lightning tribulation not weaken, it actually increased in intensity by more than a fold.
Mo Wuji was very clear that he had attracted the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation. Whether he lived or died depended on whether he could break through the Heavenly Immortal shackles and advance into the Golden Immortal Stage.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" The entire space was filled with the crazy lightning tribulation. The entire space was filled with blue and dark lightning bolts. There was no longer any space for survival.
Tens of lightning bolts came crashing down together. The aura of death filled Mo Wuji's soul. His sea of consciousness was trembling and his soul was groaning.
His Half Moon Halberd slashed out halberd shadows towards the lightning bolts in the sky. Lightning webs and lightning swords were also drawn out by Mo Wuji. Two refined Grade 2 immortal equipment shields were also drawn out by Mo Wuji.
At this moment, he would be able to block as many lightning bolts as he wanted.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle!"
The two shields were directly smashed into pieces by the lightning bolts. Mo Wuji's lightning webs and lightning swords could only resist for a short while before they were torn apart by the dense lightning bolts. The Half Moon Halberd was also smashed into a half moon. The Tian Ji Pole was still the Tian Ji Pole.
Countless lightning bolts crashed onto Mo Wuji's body. Mo Wuji could no longer withstand the terrifying bombardment of lightning bolts. The instant the shackles between the Heavenly Immortal Stage and the Golden Immortal Stage were broken, he fainted for the first time.
108 meridians were circulating furiously. Even though Mo Wuji was injured all over and had fainted, it could not stop Mo Wuji's power from rising rapidly.
While he was unconscious, Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness expanded endlessly. His meridians continued to expand. When another two waves of lightning bolts came crashing down, Mo Wuji did not even need to do anything. His body started to absorb these lightning essences to stabilize his Golden Immortal Stage.
