Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432
The gaps in the Secret Realm on Sword Mountain have not yet closed, and from time to time, people enter to try their luck.
As a result, lightning struck, and people who went in were quickly struck out.
The disciples of various sects stayed there for almost a week, only leaving when the spatial fissure was completely sealed.
The sects of South Yangtze, particularly Zhang Kun of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, were truly unwilling to give up.
They sent people to search all over, but there was no news of Long Fei and the others.
He suspected that Long Fei was hiding in the Divine Sword Sect, but he dared not enter to search, as doing so would violate Daoist taboos.
To trespass into another’s mountain gate is an act of war.
To have Dragon-Tiger Mountain and the Divine Sword Sect go to war over a junior was a responsibility he couldn’t bear.
His only regret was that Yi Chunqiu left early, heard to be due to changes in the Imperial City.
If Yi Chunqiu were here, the Divine Sword Sect probably wouldn’t dare to shield them.
After much chaos, Mount Tai finally quieted down.
Long Fei took everyone into retreat, extracting a Spirit Fruit from the Sacrificial Grand Hall, squeezing it into juice mixed with wine, and let everyone take a sip.
The wine had a strong fruity aroma. Long Fei didn’t know if it was effective, but it was definitely something extraordinary, and drinking it wouldn’t be harmful.
But it turned out to be a little problematic. Consuming this wasn’t harmful, but at the same time, everyone advanced one step.
Chu Feng, Murong Chong, and Wang Jie simultaneously broke through to the Soul Ascension Stage. Without the Integration Grass, the sky was overcast at night, and thick clouds rolled in, completely covering the sky above the Divine Sword Sect.
Amidst lightning and thunder, the black night sky was brightly illuminated by electric light.
Seeing things go awry, Long Fei quickly summoned the Flame Emperor Cauldron, using various herbs to refine bone-skin-rejuvenating restorative soup into the Stalactite Pool in his cave.
Chu Feng and the others went out to face their tribulation, each suspended in mid-air, entangled with strands of white light, soon wailing as if in extreme pain, akin to the cries of a butchered pig.
Chu Feng used to boast that his Heaven-Dominating Body had no heavenly tribulations.
That was only because the Chu Family’s secret techniques protected him, but at the Soul Ascension Stage level, the secret techniques were no longer effective.
Lightning like golden waterfalls poured down, enveloping their physical bodies completely.
The scorching temperature evaporated their essence blood, refining their flesh and bones.
With a crack, lightning struck like a sword.
A burst of blood splattered, splitting open their physical bodies, nearly leaving only bones.
Fortunately, they all practiced body techniques, their bodies being tough.
Under the deadly storms of lightning, each persisted to the end.
After the heavenly tribulation, they were left with only half their lives.
Long Fei, holding them, hurriedly brought them into the cave and soaked them in the freshly refined medicinal soup.
Soon, their wounds healed with a speed visible to the naked eye.
The soup, with the juice of Spirit Fruit added by Long Fei, was extremely effective.
Though they didn’t have Integration Grass, with Long Fei’s assistance, Chu Feng and the others felt no tension at all.
Even though they were struck to pulp, they believed with Long Fei present, they surely wouldn’t die.
This, a breakthrough as calm as still water, was superbly effective, no different from having Integration Grass, just at the cost of some superficial suffering.
If it were Long Fei breaking through personally, it would be a different story.
He always broke through at critical moments, with no one protecting his path, nor such a safe environment.
Burdened with karma, the thunderbolts were always deadly.
Hence, each time he faced tribulation, Long Fei felt immense pressure.
The first half of the night, he had just settled with Chu Feng and the others.
In the latter half, Yu Ping and Jiu Ge joined in the excitement, accidentally breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Spirit Fruit’s effect was too great; though it was just a sip, it unlocked their bodily and spiritual limitations.
The thunderbolts that had just calmed down gathered once again above the Divine Sword Sect.
The disciples of the Divine Sword Sect couldn’t help but come out, daringly staring at the sky non-stop.
Some speculated that the Divine Sword Sect had angered the heavens, and these thunderbolts were meant to strike it to ashes!
Yu Ping and Jiu Ge, in their cultivation path, hadn’t suffered much hardship.
The two young ladies were more pitiful when facing the Nascent Soul Realm’s heavenly tribulation compared to the boys.
Three streaks of lightning struck down one by one, each more severe than the last.
They were sobbing in mid-air, crying out miserably.
As they cried above, Little Ya cried below.
During tribulation, it is best to be in mid-air.
Scientifically speaking, sitting on the ground poses a problem because the ground conducts electricity, amplifying the current’s oppression a hundredfold.
In the air, there’s no issue of ground conduction, and the current’s intensity is much reduced.
Long Fei consoled Wang Xiaoya while continuously passing Pills to the two girls below.
They ate while replenishing energy, curling within the thunder, gritting their teeth to endure, their whole bodies struck out of recognition.
After the heavenly tribulation ended, Long Fei called Wang Xiaoya and Lin Shanshan, hurriedly soaking them in the Stalactite Spring.
The five of them struggled through the entire night before finally quieting down.
The next day, everyone’s aura was entirely renewed.
Long Fei was surprised to find that Chang Xi and Taida had also taken a step forward. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Their breakthroughs were quite smooth.
Because they had Integration Grass, they easily crossed this hurdle, avoiding the heavy blows of the heavenly tribulation.
Same with Wang Xiaoya.
She didn’t have Integration Grass, but she had a Five Elements Spirit Body, naturally blending with the Dao, never touched by heavenly tribulation her entire life.
Last night, she was busy with Long Fei all night but broke through unconsciously.
Lin Shanshan’s physique is also quite special, with a body of Phoenix Bloodline and a spiritual power of a rare Five Elements Spirit Body.
Others could only specialize in one Heavenly Earth Force, while she could practice all five.
But this girl wasn’t diligent in cultivation and muddled her way to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
After drinking the Spirit Fruit juice last night, she unknowingly took a step up to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak state.
The Bald Dog and Ground Rat Demon King, as well as Da Heiniu, cultivated diligently, but Demon Clan physiques were unique.
Their bodies strong, but spiritual power had many shackles.
They didn’t break through a major realm but stepped forward.
The Ground Rat Demon King reached the Nascent Soul Realm Late Stage, while the Bald Dog and Da Heiniu reached the Nascent Soul Realm Peak state.
Demon Clan physiques have an advantage, making their cultivation speed inherently slower.
If they were Human Race, they might have already broken through to the Soul Ascension Stage in one go.
Everyone made progress, but Long Fei was special, still at the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage.
His Nascent Soul in the Divine Sea was somewhat abnormal, ever since he was sent back to re-cultivate the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage.
The Nascent Soul seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how much spiritual power was absorbed, there was no change.
Besides eating Spirit Fruit, he refined other people’s Golden Cores, Nascent Souls.
His Mystic Yellow Pagoda is now full of these things.
This originally impure Nascent Soul and Golden Core, once filtered by the Mystic Yellow Pagoda, turned into pure spiritual power energy bodies.
Long Fei could easily absorb to replenish his own Nascent Soul.
With such good treatment, energy continually supplied to the Divine Sea.
But his Nascent Soul seemed like a stubborn wood block, showing no sign of growing.
No matter how much spiritual power was there, the Nascent Soul absorbed it all, like a bottomless pit.
If it were the previous Dragon-shaped Nascent Soul, it would’ve long grown to the peak state.
Long Fei secluded himself for a day, specifically testing it out. Ultimately, he gave up helplessly, choosing to take things step by step.
With the cooperation of his body, he could still battle with the cultivation level of the Soul Ascension Stage.
