The deeper they went, the darker it became, as though there was no light at all. When there was no longer any light in the surroundings, only the purple lightning bolt in Yu Yan's hand was still flashing. Zhu Yao could not help but grab onto the corner of the person in front of her, afraid that she would step on empty air and fall flat on her face.
Yu Yan, who was grabbed, was startled for a moment. Recalling that the person behind him was his stupid disciple, he did not stop her, and continued to bring her forward.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Zhu Yao felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes. As though a black curtain had suddenly been pulled open, the surroundings lit up.
This was a spacious stone room. There were no decorations in the surroundings, and there was only a "praying mat" at the center. It looked like a regular cultivation cave dwelling, though the surroundings were filled with lightning spiritual energy, causing her to feel especially comfortable.
Yu Yan walked to the center of the stone room, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the purple lightning bolt into the air. Only then did Zhu Yao realize that there was actually a large amount of water floating above her. The entire lake could be seen clearly from here, and she could even faintly see the scenery of the shore. They were at the bottom of the lake. This structure defied gravity, causing her to be extremely shocked.
"Master, master, why isn't the water falling down?" Like a country bumpkin, she pointed above her head.
Very evidently, she received an eye roll from her master. "Formation!" As expected, she was a stupid disciple. "This is where master usually cultivates. In the next few years, you can form your Azoth Core here."
So master usually cultivated here. It was no wonder he often went missing.
Yu Yan looked at the purple lightning bolt above her head which he had already fixed in the air. "This is the Nine Heavenly Lightning. You can guide the lightning spiritual energy you need from it."
Nine Heavenly Lightning. Wasn't that the Ascension Tribulation Lightning? Master could even catch lightning bolts?
Zhu Yao sensed for a moment, and indeed, the lightning spiritual energy in the surroundings had grown denser. She obediently sat at the center of the formation, and began to meditate with her legs crossed. Following the method of guiding spiritual energy into her body earlier, she slowly absorbed the lightning spiritual energy into her body. Due to her previous experience, she completely did not feel the pain she felt when her spiritual energy went berserk back then, and simply felt her entire body was comfortable.
Yu Ling observed for a moment at the side. After realizing that her disciple did not have any abnormalities, she finally relaxed. After pondering for a moment, she took out a few more lightning bolts which looked exactly the same, and fixed them in the air before leaving with a peace of mind. The Nine Heavenly Lightning was indeed a lightning tribulation for ascension, so it contained the highest amount of lightning spiritual energy. Normally, it was not easy to see them. These were the few that he caught by chance in the abyss.
As long as his disciple drew spiritual energy into his body, it would cause the spiritual energy to go berserk. Now that he had this lightning, he didn't need to draw any other lightning spiritual energy. It was just right for his disciple to use it to help his disciple cultivate.
Zhu Yao meditated for two years. When she woke up, a layer of dust had already accumulated on her body. A small sandstorm could be triggered at any time, and she couldn't help coughing.
He stretched out his hand to form a seal, wanting to cast a Dirt Removal Spell. He looked up at the clear water above his head and decided to go out and wash up. Although the Dirt Removal Technique was convenient, people who were used to bathing in water always felt that it was not clean. This was probably another sense of psychological cleanliness.
As soon as she walked out of the pool, she found a lotus leaf beside the pool. A set of clothes was neatly placed on the leaf. Looking at the style and size, it should be hers. She immediately understood who had placed it there.
Her master was indeed her sweet little cotton-padded jacket. She gave him 32 likes for all his life skills.
She picked up the clothes, only to realize that other than the clothes, there was also a bottle of pellets. Her master had never approved of her eating pellets to raise her cultivation, so why would he place the pellets here? She poured them out curiously, and realized they were actually candies.
The hell! Her body would only turn into a child's, she wasn't a real child, alright? What's the meaning of placing candies here!?
Zhu Yao poured out a handful, and stuffed it into her mouth to vent her anger. Crunching sounds could be heard as she chewed on it. Mn, the taste wasn't bad.
Patting away the crumbs on her hands, she stripped naked and dove into the pool. This was a cold pool. The water was originally extremely cold, but to practitioners, it was just right. Zhu Yao washed off the ashes on her body, and could not help but size up this cold pool.
Actually, this cold pool was rather big. Compared to the swimming pools in the modern era, it was countless times bigger. The pool was very deep as well, and the bottom could not be seen at all from above. However, the miraculous thing was, she could clearly see it from the stone room below. Fortunately, there was currently no one below.
Wait a minute! She seemed to have frequently come here to bathe in the past, and she had always stripped naked. And the stone room below was where her master usually cultivated. Then, wasn't she …
The hell! Suddenly, her entire being felt uncomfortable. Master, let's talk about life!
However, recalling how she had been bathed by him countless times when she was still a child, and she had always been stripped naked, she suddenly did not feel that uncomfortable anymore. As expected, she no longer had any morals to speak of anymore! Her morals kept dropping, and she had gotten used to it.

Zhu Yao bathed for almost an hour, before climbing out of the water. She changed into the clothes on the shore, stuffed a handful of candies into her mouth, and was just about to return to continue cultivating, when she suddenly sensed a spiritual energy disturbance at the Sword Mountain. And that spiritual energy was very familiar, it was Wang Xuzhi's!
Zhu Yao paid attention, only to realize that dark clouds had suddenly gathered in the sky above the Sword Mountain. A moment later, the sky there had already darkened. Those were tribulation clouds. Little wimp was about to form his Azoth Core!
She was a little shocked, and then, she felt relieved. So many years had passed, and with his aptitude, he should have formed his Azoth Core long ago. However, because of her death, the knot in his heart had yet to be resolved, hence, his cultivation had always been stagnant. Now it seemed like the words she said before, were still useful. He had thought it through.
The Tribulation Lightning for Wang Xuzhi's Azoth Core formation was not as exaggerated as Xiao Yi's. The tribulation clouds did not cover the entire sky either, nor did they darken the sky and earth, nor did they fly sand and stones. They simply covered a small part of the sky above the Sword Mountain in an orderly manner. And, there were exactly eighty-one Heavenly Lightning bolts striking, no more, no less, and there were no naughty Tribulation Lightning bolts running towards her. Of course, there were no special phenomena in the sky either. After the Tribulation Clouds were done striking, they quickly packed up and dispersed cleanly.
Zhu Yao waited for a moment, and when she once again sensed Wang Xuzhi's spiritual energy, she was finally at ease. It seemed like he had formed his Azoth Core, and successfully leveled up. After all, he was still a child whom she had watched grow up. Zhu Yao was a little pleased in her heart. But when she thought about it, she was still at the Foundation stage, and did not even have the slightest hint of forming her Azoth Core. In an instant, she felt unwell.
This was just like when she was young, when her teacher assigned a study group, one with good grades, and one with bad grades. She was initially the child with good grades, and wholeheartedly helped the child with bad grades to tutor them. In the end, when the results were handed out, the other party's grades were actually higher than hers.
