It had been 18 days since the battle that massacred thousands of Celestial Wizard clansmen. During these 18 days, everyone was trapped on the fifth island. Fortunately, there was a lot of food on the fifth island, else those cultivators would've starved to death even if they were very powerful.
After the raging fire burned down the forested mountain forest, Tang Guang frowned and kept looking at the area shrouded by huge energy. It was the place where Tan Xiu was.
"Chi Nan, what do you think is going on with Grand Master? How did this happen all of a sudden? "asked Tang Guang slowly.
Chi Nan rolled her eyes and snappily said, "You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Sect Master has too many secrets. I can't find out much even if I follow him every day. "
Tang Guang took a deep breath to suppress the anxiety inside and smilingly said, "It's impossible for me to follow Grand Master every day. It's impossible even if you become my Master's wife."
"You're asking for a beating!"
Chi Nan waved her hand and angrily said, "You're just a pervert who can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I really wonder why Tang An has such a frivolous brother like you."
"Me too."
The surrounding air fluctuated and a light voice entered Tang Guang and Chi Nan's ears. Even more than a dozen Tang Sect disciples in the surroundings burst into laughter.
Tang An's face instantly turned livid and she angrily yelled, "Tang An, don't stab me in the back like that! I'm your blood brother, no matter what! "
"Don't you think so, Chi Nan?"
Tang An's voice came out again, causing the laughter around to be even louder.
Chi Nan shook her head desperately and smilingly said, "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not like him! Hahaha … "
The teasing made everyone in the surroundings relax a lot. Their nerves were still tense even after the battle, fearing that something might happen to Tan Xiu. But now, they calmed down a lot under such an atmosphere. It was Tang An who was smart and rarely spoke, yet she deliberately said a few more words at this moment.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tang An's expression shifted and she let out a light exclamation.
In the blink of an eye …
All the nearby Tang Sect disciples, as well as Singluen, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, turned their heads to look at the oppressive aura nearby. They were all powerful experts, so they were very sensitive to the changes in the airflow around them. Just a moment ago, they all felt that the huge aura had actually weakened a little.
Singluen floated up and quickly came to the side of Tang Guang and the others. He stared at Tan Xiu's direction and slowly said, "That aura is weakening. It'll completely dissipate in 10 minutes at most. Is the boss alright? "
"It's possible!"
Tang Guang nodded in response. He had always been indifferent to people outside of Tang Sect, but Singluen was an exception. He knew very well that Singluen was one of his own.
Suddenly.
The surging aura was like a tide, instantly dissipating without a trace. Immediately after, an aura dozens of times more powerful than the previous one came crashing down. More than a dozen Tang Sect experts, Singluen, and his five guardian elders had a drastic change in expression as the aura blasted them away and sent them crashing to the rocky ground hundreds of meters away.
"Pfft …"
Cough, cough …
More than 20 people coughed up mouthfuls of blood and suffered serious internal injuries.
Tang An came out from the space barrier and knelt on one knee with one hand pressed on the ground. She coughed up blood and looked horrified as she murmured, "What happened? Did something happen to Grand Master? "
Just as her voice faded away …
Tan Xiu's figure appeared out of thin air. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately raised his right arm with an awkward look on his handsome face. He forced a smile and said, "Are you alright? I just had a breakthrough and couldn't control my aura. Cough, cough … well, take these pills first. "
After saying that …
Four jade bottles appeared in his hands out of thin air. As the corks of the jade bottles were opened, more than 20 Holy Healing pills flew to the hands of more than 20 people who crawled up from the ground.
For a moment …
The 20 people exchanged dismayed glances with strange expressions on their faces.
Just had a breakthrough?
Couldn't control his aura?
How could he unleash such a terrifying attack just because he couldn't control his aura?
Tang An gulped down and quickly flew to Tan Xiu's front and curiously asked, "Grand Master, you said you just had a breakthrough. So, your current cultivation level is …"
Tan Xiu gently raised his arm and was about to move his muscles and bones. But suddenly, he seemed to realize something and hurriedly put his arm down again. The speed at which he put down his arm wasn't fast, but such a slow movement caused the ground under his feet to explode and form a half-meter-wide pit.
"I …"
The awkward look on Tan Xiu's face turned more intense and he helplessly said, "The Crossing Tribulation Stage … the late-stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage. It's simply killing me. I broke through to the late-stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage inexplicably. If I hadn't used a secret art to control my power, I'm afraid my Heavenly Tribulation would've struck me by now. About that … I really didn't mean it. It's just that my power increased too fast and I haven't adapted to such a powerful power yet. No … it's my body that hasn't adapted yet. "
Crossing Tribulation Stage?
A breakthrough inexplicably?
The more than 20 people were petrified. They looked at Tan Xiu as though they were looking at an alien.
Old man, do you know how much of an impact your casual words have brought to us?
Crossing Tribulation Stage?
That's the Crossing Tribulation Stage we're talking about!
Once we pass the Heaven and Earth's test, we can ascend to the Immortal World and become a real Immortal!
After the more than 20 people sobered up from their stupor, they could only smile wryly. Finally, Tang An forced a smile and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough to the late-stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage, Grand Master. I'm sure it won't take long for you to completely master this power given your current ability. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and sighed. "It's definitely not a good thing for me to break through to the late-stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage now! I can't control the surge in my power at all. Even the slightest movement will cause a very powerful force to erupt. I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion for a long time. "
"You're always busy with all kinds of trivial matters, Grand Master," said Tang An hurriedly. "It's time for you to go into seclusion and cultivate! Only by stabilizing your realm and controlling your power can you lead the Tang Sect to become stronger and stronger. But the most important issue now is whether you can break the array on this island or not. We've been waiting for you here for 18 days. It won't be a problem for us if we stay here any longer, but the original members of the Sacred Flame and some Celestial Wizard clansmen with low cultivation will probably starve to death on this island. "
18 days?
Tan Xiu didn't expect that 18 days had passed since he slaughtered the elites of the Celestial Wizard Clan. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and hurriedly asked, "Where's Vulcan?"
Tang An, Tang Guang, and the others exchanged glances and immediately replied respectfully, "We've already killed him."
"You killed him?" Tan Xiu frowned.
"That's right," said Tang An. "The Sacred Flame organization has suffered heavy losses this time. We didn't help them during the battle with the Celestial Wizard Clan. We didn't help anyone, so they suffered heavy losses and only less than 2,000 people were left in the end. "Vulcan was very angry and kept saying that he wanted you to give him an explanation. I observed that he had a murderous intent toward you and a deep hostility toward our Tang Sect, so we decided to strike first to gain the upper hand and directly eliminate him to avoid future troubles. "
Tan Xiu gave it a thought and nodded. "Let's kill him then! Even if you don't kill him, I'm afraid I won't spare his life. The Sacred Flame organization doesn't need to exist. It's a good thing that it's an organization that only cares about money and disregards human lives. That's right, how did you deal with the more than 1,000 people of the Sacred Flame organization? "
Kuwako floated over and smilingly said, "They all chose to pledge allegiance to us, Sect Master. They're willing to become our peripheral members."
Tan Xiu knitted his brows and said, "We must have them as our peripheral members."
"I've taken control of their lives, Sect Master," said Kuwako. "All of them will die with just a thought from me."
"Then …" Tan Xiu said.
Suddenly …
His words came to an abrupt halt as a glint flashed in his eyes. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his handsome face as he nodded and praised, "You did a good job, Kuwako. Since their lives are under your control, it means that they will obey your orders in the future. Let them lay dormant for now and wait for me to completely stabilize my realm and burst out with the power of the late-stage Crossing Tribulation Stage. "
"What should we do next, Sect Master?" asked Kuwako. "Shall we leave this place?"
Tan Xiu gave it a thought and said, "I can't leave for the time being. I don't want to damage the passenger ship when I get there. You guys evacuate first. I need to stay here for some time and leave after I can control my power. "
Kuwako's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "Do you want me to stay with you, Sect Master?"
"No need." Tan Xiu shook his head. "You still need to settle the remaining people of the Sacred Flame organization, so you don't need to worry about me."
Having said that …
Tan Xiu then told Tang An the method to break the array and watched her break the array that enveloped the entire fifth island. After watching them leave, Tan Xiu then sat cross-legged on the coast.
Half a month later.
Tan Xiu was barely able to control his power and then boarded the remaining passenger ship to rush back to Nine Dragons Island.
After half a month of cultivation, he realized that it would take at least a few years for him to master the power of the late-stage Crossing Tribulation Stage. Only when he could master it thoroughly could he choose to cross the tribulation and become a true Crossing Tribulation expert. He even had a vague feeling that once he successfully crossed the tribulation, the power he would possess would be much more powerful than ordinary Immortals. He would even have the power to fight an Earth Immortal.
"Time for seclusion!"
After returning to Nine Dragons Island, Tan Xiu arranged all the necessary arrangements and then directly went to Gu Yan 'er's exquisite pagoda to begin a long seclusion.
