"What kind of world is it outside the Heavenly River Storm?"
Wutian looked at the Heavenly River Storm and muttered to himself.
Then, he sat naked in the astral wind and took out the lightning ball from the Astral Realm.
Even though the lightning ball had been sealed, it was still dazzling to the eyes.
He was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated. An hour later, he opened his eyes and took out a thousand Emperor herbs from his mustard seed bag.
"This is the first time I've taken a Emperor herb. I wonder if it can help me break through to the fifth tribulation."
Wutian mumbled and stuffed a Emperor herb into his mouth.
The Emperor herb melted in his mouth and turned into a majestic life force that rushed to his limbs and bones like a torrent!
Wutian did not dare to be negligent. He immediately used the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique and used the essence of the Emperor herb to temper his body.
Sage herbs and Emperor herbs were not on the same level. It could be said that the energy contained in Emperor herbs was hundreds of times more than that of Sage herbs.
However, Wutian's current physical realm also required more energy than before to break through.
After refining the Emperor herb, Wutian's physical realm did not break through. However, he had reached the peak state and was only one step away from the fifth tribulation.
"I still have to refine the divine power of thunder."
Wutian was a little helpless. No matter what grade the spiritual essence was, it would only be effective the first time he took it. If he took it later, it would only heal his injuries and strengthen his foundation.
After staring at the lightning ball for a while, Wutian finally made up his mind. He bit his finger and pressed it on the lightning ball.
Instantly, a terrifying destructive force rushed out from the lightning ball like a flood that had been opened. The finger that was pressing on it was immediately crushed into pieces!
Then, it was his arm!
Wutian was shocked and hurriedly grabbed a Emperor herb and threw it into his mouth.
The essence of the Emperor herb was majestic like a tide. Wutian was like a shining object. His entire body was blooming with a bright light. The essence of the herb gushed out from his pores and could not be stopped!
However, he was still unable to prevent his arm from shattering. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the ten Emperor medicines and tossed them all into his mouth.
A beautiful rain of light gushed out of Wutian's body and spread in all directions with him as the center!
Only then did the broken arm show signs of stopping.
Boom!
Suddenly …
The surrounding void shattered!
In an instant, bloody scars as wide as a finger appeared all over Wutian's body. His bones were ghastly white, and blood spurted out like a pillar. The astral wind swept over and blew the blood away, dyeing the entire place a deep purple color. It looked rather beautiful, but the air was filled with a thick stench of blood!
And the source of all this was the divine power of lightning!
A strand of purple light floated out from the ball of lightning. It was like a strand of hair, and a sizzling sound echoed in the sky. The light was dazzling, and its aura was terrifying beyond compare!
Just a strand of Divine Power of Thunder already possessed such terrifying destructive power. Heaven and earth trembled as mysterious phenomena appeared.
If all of the divine lightning power within the lightning ball were to be released at once, what kind of scene would it be?
Wutian gritted his teeth as if he was bathed in blood. The intense pain caused his face to twitch and his body to tremble. However, he did not even let out a groan as he endured with all his might.
With a wave of his hand, ten Emperor medicines entered his mouth. The spiritual essence quickly healed his damaged body.
Then, the earth vein opened, and he activated the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art, preparing to absorb the Divine Power of Thunder.
However, the Divine Power of Thunder was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. It rampaged and even showed signs of breaking through the air.
Wutian's eyes darkened. He stretched out his arm and grabbed the Divine Power of Thunder in his palm!
Puff!
Immediately, a destructive aura rushed into his body. His organs shook, and his Qi and blood surged. Blood spurted out of his mouth!
Moreover, the left hand that grabbed the Divine Power of Thunder cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere!
Wutian was shocked.
One had to know that from the beginning until now, excluding the first Emperor medicine, he had consumed 21 Emperor medicines.
What kind of concept was 21 Emperor medicines?
It was enough to pull a person back from the gates of hell 20 times!
However, it still could not stop the Divine Power of Thunder from destroying his body.
Wutian gritted his teeth and swallowed 100 Emperor medicines in one go. The essence surged to the extreme, and a radius of 100 feet was covered in exuberant essence.
There was no doubt that this place could bring spring back to a withered tree!
In fact, Wutian felt as if he was soaking in the Spring of Life. There was an indescribable carefree feeling throughout his body. The Divine Power of Thunder's destruction of his body also decreased greatly.
Wutian did not dare to hesitate. He immediately activated the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art, absorbing the Divine Power of Thunder's energy and refining his body crazily!
Then, Wutian fell into an endless cycle.
His body was damaged by the Divine Power of Thunder, and the Emperor medicine's spiritual essence quickly healed him …
The pain made him wish he was dead!
If it were anyone else, they would have been unable to endure and would have died from the pain.
One day …
Two days …
The effect of the ley line was extremely terrifying. The speed at which it absorbed energy was hundreds of times faster than ordinary people.
Even so, it took Wutian half a year to refine the Divine Power of Thunder, which was twice the time it took to refine the Divine Power of Fire.
There were two reasons.
First, the Divine Power of Thunder was not like the Divine Power of Fire, which could be easily absorbed without any pressure.
Second, the Divine Power of Thunder was stronger than the Divine Power of Thunder. The energy contained in the Divine Power of Thunder was naturally more terrifying than the Divine Power of Fire.
The only thing worth celebrating was that he had only consumed 300 Emperor medicines in half a year. It was several times less than the 1,000 Emperor medicines that the Heaven Reaching Tower had estimated.
Moreover, after the first experience, Wutian was confident that the second time he refined the Divine Power of Thunder, the consumption of Emperor medicines would be relatively lower.
Boom!
All of a sudden!
Thunder roared above, and dark clouds rolled!
A wisp of Divine Power of Thunder allowed Wutian to break through the one-step gap. The fifth tribulation, the Tribulation of Sorrow, had finally arrived!
Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. A gray bolt of lightning cut through the sky and struck Wutian, causing him to tremble and spit out a mouthful of blood!
"So powerful!"
Wutian had a rare look of seriousness in his eyes.
The fifth tribulation, the Tribulation of Sorrow, was at least ten times more powerful than the fourth tribulation. Even his physical body showed signs of cracking!
It took him a full hour to go through all nine Tribulations of Sorrow. It was the longest he had ever gone through. Then, he sat down in the void, exhausted, and began to recover his Primordial Qi and stabilize his cultivation.
…
"Have you found the whereabouts of Gu Yi and the other two?"
In a secret room in the Mystic Palace's Sacred Palace, an old man in gray sat on a chair and looked down at the front.
He saw a Mystic Palace Enforcer kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. He looked extremely respectful and said, "Commander, I am useless. I have not found the whereabouts of the three of them."
The old man in gray's face turned cold. He shouted, "It has been half a year, and you still haven't found the three little bastards. What's the use of keeping you alive?"
Hearing this, the Enforcer trembled and hurriedly said, "Commander, although I have not found the whereabouts of Gu Yi and the other two, I have found a person. She definitely knows where the three of them have gone."
"Who?"
The old man in gray frowned, but his expression softened.
The Enforcer said, "The manager of Tianbaoge Hall, He Zhuyun."
The old man in gray said, "Are you talking about the He Zhuyun who likes to wear heavy makeup and is deeply in love with Di Li?"
The enforcer said, "That's right, this subordinate has been looking for her every day during this period of time, but she has never been willing to reveal Gu Yi's whereabouts. However, this subordinate has discovered that she seems to hate Gu Yi, so as long as we treat her right, we will definitely be able to make her speak."
"He Zhuyun …"
The grey-robed old man mumbled. His eyes flickered with uncertainty. His aged fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair. Following the final heavy and powerful tapping sound, he sat up straight and ordered, "Go and invite He Zhuyun here. This old man wants to talk to her personally."
"Yes."
The Enforcer accepted the order and left.
"Gu Yi, Di Tian, Han Tian, with my big brother's doppelganger here, I will definitely tear you into pieces this time!"
The old man in gray's face was gloomy, and his old eyes emitted a terrifying cold light!
In less than a hundred breaths, the Enforcer returned with a gorgeous woman.
The old man in gray waved his hand gently. The Enforcer understood and bowed before leaving.
Then, he looked at the gorgeous woman and pointed at the chair beside him. He smiled and said, "He Zhuyun, please take a seat."
If Wutian was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the woman who had brought him to the underground chamber of Tianbaoge Hall that day.
He Zhuyun sized up the old man in gray and shook her head. "Ji Baoyun, let's not beat around the bush. If you asked me to come here to inquire about Gu Yi and the other two, I advise you not to waste your time because I will not tell you."
That's right, the old man in gray was Wutian's mortal enemy — Ji Baoyun!
"Don't be so sure."
Ji Baoyun chuckled and said, "This old man heard that you are deeply in love with Di Li, but Di Li has always treated you as a subordinate. If you can tell this old man about Gu Yi and the other two, this old man might be able to fulfill your wish and marry Di Li as his wife, or even make him listen to you."
Hearing this, He Zhuyun smiled, and said without hesitation: "Ji Baoyun, the older the ginger, the spicier it is, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Gu Yi is a five star VIP of my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and is also a guest of honor of the Pavilion Master. It is impossible for me to leak his information to you, our paths are different, goodbye."
After saying that, she turned around.
Ji Baoyun smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? According to my subordinates, you also seem to hate Gu Yi. As long as you tell me, I will go and kill him. This way, you will have one less thorn in your side, and I will have one less thorn in my side. Killing two birds with one stone, why not? "
"Haha, I admit that I do hate him, but it's not to the point that I want to kill him. Commander Ji, this little girl really doesn't understand. A dignified commander of the Mystic Palace's law enforcement actually schemed to deal with a disciple of the Mystic Palace. What exactly are you scheming?"
He Zhuyun looked at Ji Baoyun meaningfully, then turned around and left without saying anything else.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air and blocked the door of the secret room.
This person was Ji Wuhui's clone!
"Since you're already here, it's not up to you to tell me the whereabouts of Gu Yi and the other two!"
Ji Wuhui said expressionlessly.
Immediately after, his Divine Sense was like a flood, forcibly breaking through He Zhuyun's skull and searching her soul!
With Ji Wuhui's strength, how could He Zhuyun withstand his forceful soul-searching?
After the soul-searching ended, He Zhuyun directly disappeared.
Ji Baoyun asked, "Big Brother, how is it? Have you found the whereabouts of Gu Yi and the other two?"
Ji Wuhui said, "The three of them were originally in the secret room under Tianbaoge Hall, but they left half a year ago. He Zhuyun doesn't know where they are either."
"Those three little bastards can really run."
Ji Baoyun's eyes were spitting fire, then he raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Big Brother, didn't you plan to slowly deal with them after they entered the underground palace? Why did you make a move now?"
Ji Wuhui said, "You still don't know, but I received news not long ago that Gu Yi and the other two have already received the recommendations of Yu Huo, Shi Jiaoyun, and Qin Fengchang. It's very likely that they will enter the eight Immortal realms in two or three years."
"What? Those three old bastards are actually recommending them to the eight Immortal realms?! "Ji Baoyun was shocked.
Ji Wuhui nodded and said, "This news was personally told to me by the heavenly general's emissary. There's absolutely no mistake. You also know the situation of the eight Immortal realms. If they really enter, it will be even more difficult to kill them."
Ji Baoyun said worriedly, "If that's really the case, then it won't be us killing them, but them killing us."
"Therefore, we must eliminate them before they enter the eight Immortal realms!" Ji Wuhui said word by word, carrying an inescapable killing intent.
Ji Baoyun said, "Big Brother, I understand. I will use all my connections to find those three little bastards as soon as possible."
Ji Wuhui's clone nodded. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he turned into a stream of light and rushed into Ji Baoyun's qi sea.
Time passed day by day.
On this day, half a year later, Ji Baoyun finally received news that someone had seen Di Tian and the other two in a valley outside the city.
When he rushed to the valley and saw the three people in Nine Grief Prison, Ji Baoyun was overjoyed and immediately notified Ji Wuhui's clone.
In less than a hundred breaths, Ji Wuhui's clone arrived and attacked without hesitation, displaying unparalleled combat strength. With a wave of his hand, he shattered Nine Grief Prison and destroyed Wutian and the other two inside. However, no blood flowed out!
"Clone?"
Ji Wuhui and Ji Baoyun were shocked.
They didn't expect that the three people they had found with great difficulty were actually just clones?
"Bastard!"
Ji Wuhui's clone was so angry that he was stamping with rage.
At the same time, Wutian's face turned pale, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Swoosh!
He opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
"Who can forcefully shatter Nine Grief Prison?"
Standing up, Wutian restrained his aura to the extreme and sped toward the periphery of the Heavenly River Storm.
As he sped, he quickly put on his clothes.
Soon, he walked out of the Heavenly River Storm and hid in a thick layer of clouds. He looked down and saw two figures leaving quickly.
"So, it's you!"
Wutian narrowed his eyes, which shone with a fierce light.
He didn't expect Ji Baoyun to deal with them first.
What was even more unexpected was that Ji Wuhui actually appeared in West Nether City. It seemed like he was going to attack personally.
"Since that's the case, I'll play with you."
The corner of Wutian's mouth lifted, holding a cold smile.
Then, he returned to the Heavenly River Storm and absorbed the divine power of lightning to refine his body while waiting for Di Tian and Ji Baoyun to come out of seclusion.
As expected, when he refined the second wisp of divine power of lightning, Wutian was no longer in as much pain as before. He only used 200 Thearch herbs, but the time was still the same.
When he refined the third wisp, he only used 150 Thearch herbs.
When he refined the fourth wisp, he only used 120 Thearch herbs.
Wutian was naturally overjoyed that such a situation happened.
Every time he refined it, his immunity to the divine power of lightning would increase. In time, even the divine power of lightning from the Thunder God's origin wouldn't be able to do much damage to him.
When Wutian finished refining the fifth wisp, the Emissary Token in his arms suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was a message from Shi Jiaoyun. The content was roughly to let him prepare well and set off for the North Emperor Continent in three days.
"Time flies. Three years have passed without me noticing."
Wutian took a deep breath.
He originally wanted to continue refining because he had a feeling that he could break through to the sixth tribulation after refining six more wisps of divine power of lightning. Unfortunately, time did not allow him to do so.
Wutian collected himself and stood up. He stepped out and appeared in the clouds. After putting on his clothes, he sent a voice transmission to Little Wu Hao to ask about Di Tian and Ji Baoyun's situation.
Little Wu Hao said. Di Tian and Ji Baoyun were still refining the divine power of fire. Their auras had already reached the peak of the fifth and sixth tribulation. She believed that they would break through in the next two days.
"Don't disturb them."
Wutian warned. After pondering for a while, he took out twenty Saint-level forbidden stones from his mustard seed bag and quickly inscribed them on the Nine Grief Prison.
Then, he descended from the sky, landed on the ground, and began to walk around West Nether City.
Those who did not know would think that he was taking a stroll and enjoying the scenery.
In fact, he was releasing a smoke bomb.
Every once in a while, he would set up a Nine Grief Prison and leave an avatar inside.
In the end, he used a day to set up a total of twenty Nine Grief Prisons around West Nether City.
Moreover, each place was very well hidden and difficult for ordinary people to find.
After doing all this, he consumed an Illusion Grass, changed his appearance, and entered West Nether City.
In less than an hour, a rumor that Gu Yi was cultivating in a pond outside the city spread through the Ji Clan disciples.
Ji Baoyun was the first to receive the news. With a mindset that he would rather believe it than not, he rushed to the small lake, only to discover that it was only an avatar.
Ji Baoyun's lungs were about to explode from anger.
But before he could calm his anger, another piece of news was sent to his Myriad Manifestation Token. Gu Yi was cultivating in a volcano in the north.
After receiving this news, Ji Baoyun suppressed the anger in his heart and rushed to the volcano at full speed. However, not long after he left, another message was sent to the Wanxiang Token. The content was that Gu Yi was in seclusion in a remote mountain range in the south.
"Bastard! Just which piece of news is true?!"
Ji Baoyun could no longer hold back. He stopped in the air and roared.
Swish!
Ji Wuhui's avatar flew out of Ji Baoyun's sea of energy and appeared next to him.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
Ji Baoyun asked.
Several more pieces of news were sent to the Myriad Manifestation Token, all of them concerning Gu Yi's whereabouts.
