"Honorable Teacher, please follow me."
Chu Kuangren said.
Then, he brought Honorable Xuan Qi and the others to a secluded mountain. It was the place that Honorable Xuan Qi had decided on for the ascension.
At this place.
There were four black iron pillars standing at four corners, and there were mysterious runes engraved on them.
When they arrived, they looked at the four iron pillars in confusion.
"What is this? I don't think this thing was here last time."
"The material of these iron pillars is special, and it seems to contain some kind of Daoist Rhyme. This must be some kind of treasure."
"Kuangren, you didn't set this up, did you?"
Honorable Xuan Qi asked curiously.
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. "Yes, these four iron pillars are called the Thundersoother Rods. They can direct the power of the heavenly tribulation to the earth."
Hearing this, the few of them were shocked.
They had never heard of something like this that could direct the power of the heavenly tribulation. How could these iron pillars have such a magical effect?
"Lead Disciple, it's not that I don't believe you, but the ascension of the Sect Leader is not a trivial matter. Are these iron pillars really as magical as you say?"
One of the elders said.
Chu Kuangren smiled without saying a word. He then walked into the four iron pillars and said to the elder, "Second Elder, I remember that you're cultivating the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword Art. You can attack me now."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Second Elder was a little hesitant.
"Do it."
"This …" Second Elder looked at Honorable Xuan Qi.
"Why are you looking at me? If Kuangren wants you to attack, just do it. With your cultivation level, how can you hurt him?"
Honorable Xuan Qi said with a smile.
He had already learned about Chu Kuangren's current strength from the Seventh Forefather. Not to mention Second Elder, even he could not do anything to Chu Kuangren.
Every time he thought of this, he would feel melancholy.
His disciple was too powerful, and as his Honorable Teacher, he was under a lot of pressure.
"Alright then."
Second Elder nodded. Then, he focused his sword finger and a surge of Lightning-based Daoist Rhyme erupted and turned into a lightning sword qi.
The lightning sword qi swept towards Chu Kuangren, but Chu Kuangren stood inside the iron pillar and did not move an inch.
When the Sword Qi approached him, the lightning power trembled and was actually distorted by an invisible force. It struck the metal pillar and then disappeared.
"Eh?" The Second Elder let out a soft gasp before he struck out with his sword again. This time, it was stronger, but just like before, the lightning energy was channeled into the ground by the iron pillar. It could not hurt Chu Kuangren at all.
"Interesting."
The Second Elder soared into the sky, and a terrifying Daoist Rhyme of Thunder instantly filled the air. Dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.
A dazzling heavenly might engulfed the entire place, shocking everyone.
"Chief, I'm going to use my full strength."
"Please." Chu Kuangren smiled.
Everyone watched with rapt attention.
"Thunder of the Ninth Heaven, for my use!!"
The Second Elder let out a long roar, and the rolling thunder power in the dark clouds suddenly condensed into a huge thunder sword above his head!
As the giant sword slashed down, the heavenly might shook the earth!
Even a Supreme Honorable would not dare to be careless when facing this sword.
However, Chu Kuangren remained motionless.
Boom!!
As the giant sword descended, the void trembled wherever it passed!
However, when the giant sword approached the four iron pillars, the violent lightning energy was instantly distorted and channeled back to the ground.
All that was left was pure sword qi that surged towards Chu Kuangren. Without the support of the lightning energy, the sword qi did not pose any threat to him at all. The White Lotus Light of Purification easily disintegrated the sword qi.
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw.
"This iron pillar can really guide the lightning energy?!"
"Heavenly tribulations appear in the form of lightning. This means that this iron pillar really has the effect of guiding the heavenly tribulation energy!"
"That's amazing."
The Second Elder slowly landed on the ground and looked at the Thundersoother Rod in awe. "Chief, where did you get this treasure from?"
"I got it by chance." Chu Kuangren smiled.
The crowd's mouth twitched when they heard that.
'You got the pill recipe by chance, and so did this Thundersoother Rod … Why do you only have so many Opportunities of Fortune!'
"You're really blessed by fortune, Chief."
The Second Elder could not help but exclaim.
Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. Who asked him to be a cheat?
He also got this Thundersoother Rod from the lottery. Some time ago, he got a lot of good things from the lottery. Some of them were temporarily unused, so he left them in his inventory without retrieving them.
The Thundersoother Rod was one of them.
He had to go back and see if there was anything else he could use in this tribulation.
He had to be more thorough in his preparations.
Looking at Honorable Xuan Qi who was admiring the Thundersoother Rod, Chu Kuangren sighed in his heart. Honorable Master's ascension had caused his disciple to worry a lot.
"With the Eternal Rejuvenation Pill and this Thundersoother Rod, I can say that this ascension is in the bag."
Honorable Xuan Qi laughed. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "As long as those guys don't get in the way."
Hearing this, Chu Kuangren's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Honorable Xuan Qi had offended many people when he was young in Firmament Star. Most of these people were now big shots. Whether it was strength or power, they could not be underestimated.
Now that Honorable Xuan Qi was ascending, would they just sit back and watch?
"There's a Sage in the Black Heaven Sect. If those people want to come and cause trouble, they'll definitely find a way to deal with the Sage."
"Only a Sage can go against a Sage!"
"There are many sage orthodoxies in Firmament Star, but there are only a few who have a grudge against the Black Heaven Sect. Who would come?" Chu Kuangren thought.
… …
Inside a restaurant.
A sloppy man with a broken arm was sitting in the corner, drinking.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe walked in front of the sloppy man and said, "I can't believe the famous swordsman of the Azure Dragon Domain a thousand years ago has fallen to such a state."
The sloppy man glanced at the middle-aged man. "Who are you?"
"Linghu Hong."
"Linghu? What a rare surname. From what I remember, the most famous Linghu clan is the Linghu family of the Scarlet Phoenix Domain. "
The sloppy man burped. "Are you?"
"Yes."
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Did you know that Honorable Xuan Qi is about to ascend?"
Boom!
The wine jar in the sloppy man's hand suddenly exploded. He glared at Linghu Hong with bloodshot eyes. "Don't you dare mention that name in front of me!"
Linghu Hong did not care about the sloppy man's reaction and said, "You're poor here, but he's the leader of a sage orthodoxy. Now that he's about to ascend, once he succeeds, he'll become a Sage!"
"When that time comes, you and I are nothing more than ants in his eyes. Tell me, are you willing to watch all of this happen? If I remember correctly, he was the one who cut off your arm. "
"So what if I'm not? That's a sage orthodoxy with a Sage in charge. Do you think I can just kill my way up there? "
The sloppy man said dejectedly.
"The Linghu family has a Sage too!"
"What do you mean?"
"The Linghu family will deal with the Black Heaven Sect's Sage. You and I will kill our way up to the Black Heaven Sect and stop Xuan Qi from ascending. If you're willing to stay here, I'll leave now."
The sloppy man gulped down the last jar of wine, and a powerful sword qi suddenly erupted from his body. "I've never reattached this broken arm so that I can remember the humiliation that Xuan Qi brought upon me!"
"All these years, I've been indulging myself, but I've never stopped cultivating. Now, it's time to settle the score with Honorable Xuan Qi!"
