However, I'm still too weak at the moment. If I can raise my physical body and soul cultivation to a level comparable to a Saint 7-dan expert, I should be able to overcome this lightning tribulation …
All of this might sound complicated, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan had already gone through everything in his mind.
The lightning tribulation had just charred Bi Hongyin black, and she was still gathering its strength.
After spurting a few mouthfuls of blood and consuming two pills, Bi Hongyin's complexion finally recovered a little. She glared at Zhang Xuan with fury burning in her eyes.
If not for protecting the formation plate, she wouldn't have offended such a powerful lightning tribulation, and yet … she ended up getting her formation plate destroyed by that fellow …
"I don't care who invited you here. If I don't teach you a lesson, my surname isn't Bi!"
Bi Hongyin roared furiously.
But before she could finish her words, the face of the young man opposite her darkened. "Shut your mouth!"
Zhang Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was infused with demonic tunes and Impartation of Heaven's Will. Even with the rumbling of the lightning tribulation, his words still reached everyone's ears clearly, causing a deafening buzz to echo in their ears.
"That Leaving Aperture realm lad actually told Bi Hongyin to shut her mouth?"
The short man's body swayed weakly, and he nearly fell to the ground.
Luo Xuanqing also widened his eyes in disbelief.
He feared nothing in the Sanctum of Sages, and even some of the disciplinary elders were helpless against him. However, Bi Hongyin was still a little troublesome for him, so he dared not speak too harshly.
Yet, that fellow actually destroyed her precious formation plate and then told her to shut her mouth …
Wasn't he a little too brazen?
"What did you say?" Bi Hongyin was also on the verge of going insane.
If not for the fact that her face had been charred black, she would have been a terrifying sight to behold.
"Cut the crap if you don't want to die!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Bi Hongyin.
Hong long long!
As soon as he approached the ominous clouds, the lightning tribulation immediately sensed his strength, and it began gathering toward him.
"Is he … intending to withstand the lightning tribulation for me?"
Bi Hongyin was stunned. Her body trembled uncontrollably. "Even I won't be able to withstand it! You'll die if you do that!"
Even a Saint 7-dan expert like her was unable to withstand the lightning tribulation, so how could a mere Leaving Aperture realm lad possibly withstand it?
Is he trying to compensate me with his life because he broke my formation plate?
Bi Hongyin clenched her fists tightly, and the fury that she had felt earlier vanished without a trace. At the same time, she felt a little touched.
Even though he knew that he was going to die, he still charged forward without hesitation. This young man didn't seem to be that infuriating …
"This is … his lightning tribulation?"
Unlike her, Luo Xuanqing, the short man, and the fatty immediately understood what was going on when they saw the dark clouds gathering around Zhang Xuan.
No wonder this cloud came out of nowhere. It turned out to be this fellow …
"Didn't you say that he just broke through yesterday and that it's impossible for him to make any progress today? Why do I feel like … I have already reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle? "
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Fatty's throat felt dry.
"Seems like it really is …"
The corner of Luo Xuanqing's mouth twitched.
Based on the news he had heard, Zhang Xuan had raised his cultivation from Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle to Leaving Aperture realm primary stage within ten breaths, and in the afternoon, he had gone to take the 8-star formation master examination. There was no time for him to reinforce his cultivation, so how did he manage to achieve a breakthrough?
And three small levels at once?
Rumble! Rumble!
In the midst of everyone's shock, the dark clouds had already finished gathering, and the power of the lightning was becoming more and more vigorous, as if it would erupt at any moment and tear the figure in the sky into pieces.
"This won't do. Even if his cultivation has reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, he won't be able to withstand the lightning tribulation!"
Luo Xuanqing said worriedly.
Even though Zhang Xuan had made some progress, he was still too weak before the sea of lightning. Even they were unable to withstand it, let alone Zhang Xuan.
As long as the lightning tribulation descended, Zhang Xuan would be blasted into smithereens.
"I was the one who invited him here. It would be terrible if he were to die because of this …"
Even the usually resourceful and resourceful Luo Xuanqing felt a little helpless at this moment.
He had specially invited Zhang Xuan over, and he would surely feel guilty if he were to die because of this.
Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, the young man in the sky suddenly spoke up.
"I'll deal with the lightning tribulation. Do any of you have physical body cultivation technique manuals or soul cultivation technique manuals? Hurry up and show them to me. The more, the better!"
"Cultivation technique manuals?"
Everyone was taken aback.
At this moment, they were all thinking about how they could resolve the predicament they were in. What was the use of cultivation technique manuals?
The lightning tribulation was going to fall soon. Even if they had cultivation technique manuals, they wouldn't have the time to learn them!
"Hurry up!"
Seeing the hesitation in the crowd, Zhang Xuan bellowed.
"Yes!"
Luo Xuanqing and the others had no idea what Zhang Xuan was going to do with the cultivation technique manuals, but seeing how certain Zhang Xuan was, they quickly nodded in agreement.
Had it been any other time, if a Leaving Aperture realm brat dared to speak to them in such a manner, they would have surely slapped him to death. However, with the lightning tribulation looming over their heads like a sharp sword, no one was bothered by it.
"I have many physical body cultivation technique manuals!"
The plump man said as he flicked his wrist, and a huge pile of books appeared on the ground. There were at least several thousand of them.
With just his physical body, he was able to knock Luo Xuanqing back and shatter the sealed space. The strength of his physical body was truly fearsome. As such, he had many physical body cultivation technique manuals.
"I have many soul cultivation technique manuals!"
Bi Hongyin also took out a pile of books.
"I have both of them, but I don't have too many of them …"
The shorty and Luo Xuanqing also took out their respective books.
For the four of them to wield such strength at such a young age, it went without saying that the powers behind them were not weak at all. These cultivation technique manuals might be rare to others, but to them, they could easily take out a huge pile of them.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up upon seeing so many cultivation technique manuals.
He quickly scanned through them.
Hula!
In an instant, all of them were collected into the Library of Heaven's Path.
Not only are there physical body cultivation technique manuals and soul cultivation technique manuals, there are even Saint 6-dan Grand Dominion realm and Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique manuals as well. However … there aren't enough of them to form a Heaven's Path Divine Art!
Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned through his Library of Heaven's Path, and he couldn't help but sigh in pity.
While they did have Grand Dominion realm and Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique manuals in their possession, they were far from sufficient to form a Heaven's Path Divine Art. Even if they managed to gather all of them, they wouldn't be of much help to the current situation.
Let me take a look at the physical body cultivation technique manuals …
Zhang Xuan turned his attention to the physical body cultivation technique manuals.
"Correct!"
With a jolt, a book materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path.
With a tap of his finger, knowledge flowed into his mind.
It's finally formed!
Zhang Xuan's eyes widened in excitement.
As expected of a top-notch physical body cultivation technique expert, the plump man actually managed to successfully form a new Heaven's Path Golden Body Divine Art!
According to the description, as long as he cultivated diligently, he would be able to temper his physical body to the level of a Saint high-tier artifact!
Let me take a look at the soul cultivation technique manuals …
Knowing that there wasn't enough time for him to get excited, Zhang Xuan quickly turned his attention to the soul cultivation technique manuals.
Bi Hongyin's demonic tunes and formations specialized in soul attacks, so she had collected quite a few soul cultivation technique manuals. Even though Luo Xuanqing and the shorty didn't specialize in these two aspects, as descendants of major powers, they still had many similar cultivation technique manuals.
Even with the collection of the three of them, there were still more than a thousand of them.
Zhang Xuan took out the soul cultivation technique manuals he had obtained from Vicious and placed them together. With a thought, a book materialized before him.
It's only a Leaving Aperture realm Heaven's Path Soul Art …
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
In terms of soul cultivation, after the destruction of the soul oracles, the remaining occupations were still relatively weak. Even though he had fused the soul cultivation technique manuals from Vicious, he had only managed to form a Leaving Aperture realm Heaven's Path Soul Art. He had fused quite a few Grand Dominion realm Heaven's Path Soul Art, but there were still many flaws in it, making it difficult for him to cultivate it for the time being.
Forget it for now. As long as I can raise my fighting prowess, I'll have more means to protect myself …
Knowing that it would be too late for him to find the Heaven's Path Soul Art, Zhang Xuan turned to the crowd and asked, "Do any of you have pinnacle spirit stones, Jade Vein Spirit Essence, or any other treasures that harness spiritual energy?"
Even if one had a cultivation technique, it would be useless without spiritual energy.
"I have the Jade Pearl Spirit Essence! It's on par with the Glacier Plain Court's Wintry Spirit Essence! "
"I have a piece of Jade Vein Spirit Essence, but it isn't too big …"
"I have a grade-8 Spirit Reinforcing Pill …"
…
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was asking for the Jade Pearl Spirit Essence, the crowd nodded, and the pills, spirit stones, and spirit essence flew into the air.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
Had it been any other time, he would have had to pay a hefty price to gather all of these items. However, he had saved himself a lot of time by tossing them into the air.
Grabbing the Jade Spirit Essence in his hand, Zhang Xuan swallowed the Heaven's Path Spirit Essence, Heaven's Path Spirit Essence, and Heaven's Path Pill. After which, he turned to look at the storm clouds once more, only to see that the lightning had already gathered and was about to strike down. Without any hesitation, he dashed into the storm clouds.
"What is he doing?"
"He'll die if he charges in like that!"
Zhang Xuan's body jolted in shock.
If he were to charge into the storm clouds with his physical body, he would be putting his body against the lightning. If things went wrong, his Primordial Spirit might even be destroyed!
Hong long long!
As soon as Zhang Xuan charged into the storm clouds, innumerable streaks of lightning gathered frenziedly in the direction where he had disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with streaks of lightning, such that even Spiritual Perception was unable to discern what was going on.
"What do we do?"
"There's no other choice but to wait. This is his lightning tribulation. If it disappears, it means that he has successfully cleared it! But if it gets bigger and bigger … not only will he die, we won't be able to escape either! "
Luo Xuanqing said with a livid face.
They had faced the lightning tribulation before, and as long as they didn't destroy it, it would only grow bigger and bigger, eventually striking them to death.
It was for this reason that they didn't hesitate to take out whatever Luo Xuanqing needed.
"Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle … I don't think it's possible for a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator to overcome such a formidable lightning tribulation!"
The fatty said after a long moment of silence.
His defense could be said to be the number one in the world, and even with such formidable defense, he didn't have the confidence to survive the lightning tribulation, let alone the other party!
"Indeed. Let's make preparations. If the lightning tribulation continues its assault, we'll have no choice but to use our bloodline ability to destroy it!"
The shorty said.
"That's the only way …"
The others nodded in agreement.
The lightning tribulation was indeed powerful, but they had their own trump cards as well. As long as they used them, it wasn't impossible for them to vanquish the lightning tribulation. However, doing so would result in severe damage to their bodies, and that would delay their future plans.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't resort to such means.
