After leaving the Heavenly Sea Pavilion's branch on Green Scholar Island, Lu Xiaotian flew above the boundless sea on his sword. Occasionally, he would encounter a few provocative spiritual beasts, but most of them were killed by Lu Xiaotian. Then, he put away the materials. Over the past decade, his cultivation had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Stage Twelve, and he had not made any progress for several years.
He did not spend much resources on cultivation, and the time he spent on refining pills was also relatively short. On the contrary, his attainments in formations had improved by leaps and bounds. In the past decade, in order to experiment with the Five Elements Formation, as well as the various formations that he had deduced, he had used up a large amount of materials that he had failed to refine using spirit stones. Even for him, apart from a few mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, the rest were mostly used up. These materials from Fourth Rank and above demonic beasts were still worth some spirit stones. Moreover, the formations used for tribulation transcendence also consumed a large amount of spirit stones.
Along the way, he also encountered large flocks of demonic beasts. Lu Xiaotian did not want to attract too much trouble. Although their numbers were not as terrifying as the fire bats he had encountered before, they were still too many to kill.
In such situations, Lu Xiaotian directly dove into the sea and avoided them with the help of the Dissolving Bead.
Along the way, he encountered two islands. Lu Xiaotian was not too satisfied. The islands were too long and narrow. The narrowest part was only a few feet. Even with two large-scale formations, it was still not enough. There were also two islands covered in dense fog. From time to time, large amounts of low-grade demonic bees would rush out from the fog. They were densely packed and could not be killed. Lu Xiaotian called it the Demonic Bee Island, but it was not appropriate. The other islands of various sizes either had too many cultivators or too many demonic beasts.
Several months later, there was an island with a radius of several dozen miles. Most of the area was covered in trees, and there was also a part of the terrain. It was all bare rocks with traces of being washed by the sea.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was sitting on a huge rock. Several pieces of tortoiseshell floated in front of him. Lu Xiaotian continuously used his transcendence energy to refine them. The Earth Splitter in his hand would occasionally slash out a small saber light, carving formation patterns on the incomparably hard tortoiseshell.
He had found this small island more than two months ago. It was about one thousand five hundred kilometers away from Green Scholar Island. Because the Spirit Qi here wasn't dense, very few people came here. After confirming the island where Di Kun was undergoing his tribulation, Lu Xiaotian sent a voice transmission talisman to Fu Dongming. He learned that Fu Dongming had already obtained the Treasure Yinyi Tortoiseshell, so he went back and then returned to this small island.
Di Kun did not like the sunlight at this time, and was currently hiding in the shade of a tree to rest. As the tribulation approached, Di Kun once again showed the same restlessness as before.
With a swoosh, Lu Xiaotian finished carving the last formation pattern. He looked at it several times, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
The Treasure Yinyi Tortoiseshell Formation was a formation that used the natural defensive power of the tortoiseshell. Di Kun was from the Flying Silver Corpse Clan. He was powerful, but like those ghost cultivators, his tribulation was more dangerous. The Heavenly Thunder had a restraining effect on the Flying Silver Corpses. In order to let Di Kun succeed in his tribulation, Lu Xiaotian had to make more preparations.
After refining the last set of formation, Lu Xiaotian started working on the island. Large-scale defensive formations had to be set up according to the terrain. Usually, the stronger the defensive or offensive formation, the higher the conditions to use it. A brilliant formation master not only needed to be based on his own strength, but also the terrain and even the astronomical stars. However, Lu Xiaotian had not reached that level yet.
The Mystic Flame Thunder Stone Formation that he obtained from Yuan Min was originally for himself, but he failed to break through in the Full Moon Mountain Range at that time. Now it was just right for Di Kun to use. The Mystic Flame Thunder Stone Formation was more powerful than his Treasure Yinyi Tortoiseshell Formation and could be used as a second layer of defense. In addition, there were several small formations and the Treasure Yinyi Tortoiseshell Formation as the first layer of defense. As for himself, he still had some Treasure Yinyi Tortoiseshell Formation that he could refine later on.
There were three waves of Jin Dan's lightning tribulation. Lu Xiaotian could only try his best to help Di Kun resolve the first two waves. As for the third wave, he could not take any shortcuts. He could only rely on Di Kun to endure it himself.
After he finished doing all of this, Lu Xiaotian completely restrained his aura and hid beneath the shade of the tree to stand on guard for Di Kun at this moment. Besides the occasional outburst, Di Kun was in a state of deep sleep most of the time because he was absorbing the baleful Yin energy within the Seven Night Dark Ancient Flower with all his strength. Moreover, it wasn't suitable for him to make a move against others before he overcame the tribulation.
One man and one beast waited on the island day after day. Only a black Little Fire Crow would jump in and out from time to time. At first, because it was too noisy, Lu Xiaotian directly threatened to put it into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Only then did Little Fire Crow stop. However, Little Fire Crow was very smart. It was much quieter on the island, but it often flew out to the sea to have fun. Not only was Little Fire Crow small in size, its strength did not show any other abnormalities except for the time when Di Kun swallowed the strange flame. Lu Xiaotian was originally a little worried that Little Fire Crow would be swallowed by other powerful Demon Birds or Demon Beasts that jumped out from the sea. However, Little Fire Crow would always fly back excitedly every time, as if it was quite satisfied with going out. Lu Xiaotian was speechless, but he could only accept it. Perhaps this little guy was proficient in escaping.
This situation continued for more than half a month until one day at noon, in the cloudy sky, there was a sudden crackling sound as a thick lightning bolt fell from the clouds to the ground. Lu Xiaotian originally thought that it was a normal lightning and thunder. After all, in this kind of weather, thunder and rain were very normal. However, at this time, Di Kun suddenly stood up and roared at the dark clouds in the sky.
"It's coming!" Lu Xiaotian also stood up with a serious expression and immediately let Di Kun enter the arranged Array.
Di Kun's imposing aura surged as he stood on a protruding rock and roared towards the sky. His crystal red eyes were full of arrogance and an unyielding expression. Even the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation could not make the incomparably arrogant Flying Silver Corpse Clan bow their heads.
More and more clouds gathered in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the thick clouds, giving people a feeling that the end of the world was coming. Black clouds pressed down on the city! However, at this time, the lightning in the sky did not fall. Instead, it was accumulating power.
Looking at Di Kun roaring again and again and even flapping his wings, Lu Xiaotian quickly used his Spiritual Sense to stop him. At the same time, he was also very envious. Compared to Di Kun's Core Formation, when he tried to form his Gold Core in the Full Moon Mountain Range, there were only a few strands of tribulation clouds in the sky. Later, they simply did not appear and did not even give him the opportunity to cross the tribulation.
The tribulation clouds that Di Kun was facing now could be described as surging winds and clouds.
