The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 173 Worth it
"here we go."

Zhao Siliang, the leader of the branch sect in Jiuxiao City, watched this thunder tribulation through a special method with a solemn expression.

"Master Zhao, don't worry. The Lord of Bailu Palace and several elders in the Yuanshen realm have said that Master Yaoguang has a solid foundation in the art of refining the soul, so the Heavenly Thunder Tempering should not be a problem for him."

Watching this heavenly thunder tempering with him was Jiuxiao Territory Lord You Qianshan.

The attack on Sun and Moon Peak can be regarded as the greatest loss suffered by the Wuji Xinggong sect since the end of the Moon Demon Empire war. While the Wuji Xinggong has mourned the victims through the Void God Realm, it has also publicly stated that it will severely punish the attackers.

At present, all the patrol warships that surrounded the Jiuding Sect have been withdrawn.

Without the threat posed by the patrol warship, You Qianshan's pressure was naturally greatly reduced, and his mood also improved a lot.

He was even in the mood to joke at this moment: "Rather than worrying about whether Master Yaoguang can complete the first Heavenly Thunder Tempering, we should consider how to keep Master Yaoguang in our Jiuxiao Domain. After all, many people in Chicheng hope that Master Yaoguang will come over. Palace Master Xu and Grandmaster Dong Liushui have said more than once that they will come to invite him personally."

After hearing this, Zhao Siliang also felt a headache.

Compared to the conditions that Chicheng could offer, Jiuxiao Territory...

It's really unattractive.

At this time, You Qianshan seemed to sense something and made a move with his hands.

A picture of a place located in the virtual world of gods was projected.

Bai Lu, Xu Kong, Zhang Jianlin and others were among them.

"Domain Lord."

"metropolitan."

Seeing the two of them, several top Yuanshen realm cultivators inside greeted them at the same time.

"You are welcome."

You Qianshan smiled and said, "Are you making a bet?"

"Yes, let's bet on how many times Yaoguang can perform the Heavenly Thunder Tempering this time."

Xu Kong said: "I personally think that it should be around fifteen to twenty times, which is within the range of thirty-nine thunder tribulations."

"Yaoguang's background is enough to make him survive the nineteenth thunder tribulation, but I have told him to put his safety first. In addition, based on our observation, he is also a cautious person, so he should not exceed the range of the nineteenth thunder tribulation."

Bailu said.

Hearing her say this, Zhao Siliang nodded slightly: "Yaoguang's actions... are indeed more stable."

“Having said that, what if Master Yaoguang feels that it is okay to endure ten more thunder tribulations when he is going through the tribulation? So, I’d still bet on fifteen to twenty times.”

Xu Kong said.

"Then I'll bet ten to fifteen. Master Yaoguang has always been good at creating miracles."

Zhang Jianlin expressed his own judgment.

Then he turned to Zhao Siliang and You Qianshan and asked, "Would the Sect Master and Territory Master like to come as well?"

"I still have confidence in Yaoguang. I stand in Xukong for fifteen to twenty times."

You Qianshan said with a smile.

"I choose Bai Lu, within nine times."

Zhao thought about it.

Several people quickly chose a rough range.

Their so-called betting was just a way to entertain themselves. At best, they would mention it later, and the winners could brag about it in front of others to see how good their eyesight was. But there was no real reward.

When they made the bet, Yaoguang's soul had already been struck by heavenly thunder, causing yin and yang to clash.

During this process, he could clearly feel his spirit being tempered and becoming more solid.

Just like a body, it is more solid and powerful at this moment, and can thus burst out with even greater power.

When it comes to the soul level, it can accommodate and stimulate stronger divine thoughts.

"It's not difficult."

Yaoguang said, and his soul continued to ascend, heading straight into the depths of the sky.

The higher he went, the louder the noise of the thunder and lightning caused by his soul became. In the later stage, not to mention Bai Lu, Zhang Jianlin and others who had already received the news, even the great monks in Longxiong City felt it.

"Is there anyone going through the tribulation?"

"Which great cultivator in the Yuan Shen realm is going to try to break through?"

"Such dense thunder... This soul has a deep foundation!"

All kinds of discussions were heard from the great monks, and at the same time they were contacting their friends and asking for information.

The leader of Bailian Sect, Zong Lian, is no exception.

And through communication with his friends, he quickly got the result, and suddenly...

A look of astonishment.

"Yaoguang? Isn't he the Star Lord?"

"I only recently learned that Master Yaoguang is a dual cultivator of the mind and body. His strength in refining the mind is far greater than his strength in refining the body. Otherwise, how could he be in charge of the situation in Zixiao Academy?"

A foundation-building practitioner responded to him: "I've heard that Master Yaoguang has a deep foundation in soul-refining. It's not surprising that he's going straight into the abyss to refine his soul through thunder tribulations. I just don't know how many thunder tribulations he can go through in one breath."

"Cultivating both the mind and body..."

Zong Lian couldn't help feeling a little melancholy after hearing what his good friend said.

When Yaoguang first came to Bailianmen, he sincerely hoped that he could stay in Bailianmen and maintain the inheritance of Bailianmen.

But for now...

Listening to the rumbling thunder in the sky above, he finally smiled with relief.

"Forget it, forget it. This kind of genius is simply not something that a small pond like our Bailian Sect can accommodate. If I had forced him to stay in Bailian Sect, it would have ruined his future."

Thinking of this, he suppressed the regret that had always existed in his heart, looked up at the sky with the mentality of a bystander, and witnessed the rise of a true genius.

……

"Boom!"

There is endless thunder in the sky.

Rays of blazing sun thunder continuously bombarded Yaoguang's soul.

Each one was like a hammer hitting him, and amidst the burst of flames, it made his spirit more solid and stable.

Moreover, as he went deeper into the sky, the falling thunder became more and more frequent.

Theoretically, being tempered by Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder for ninety-nine and eighty-one times would be the pinnacle of this stage.

However, reaching this stage is another matter than being able to reach the Purple Heavenly Thunder Layer. Because, when going deeper into the Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder Layer, the heavenly thunders attracted by the Yuanshen will increase. Not only will there be thunder dragons dancing around you all the time, but sometimes you will even be bombarded by two, three, five, six, or eight or nine heavenly thunders at the same time.

An attack of this intensity is naturally not comparable to that of a cultivator who has been tempered by a bolt of heavenly thunder and is about to end his tribulation.

The so-called thirty-nine thunder tribulations and ninety-nine thunder tribulations, the "three" and "nine" themselves also mean being able to withstand three or nine heavenly thunders at the same time.

Just like now...

Yaoguang went deep into the thunder layer, and more and more thunders bombarded his body.

Three, four...

Even climbing towards the fifth and sixth paths!
Seeing this scene, Zhao He, the foundation-building sword cultivator who was guarding from afar, was fine, but Xu Kong, Bai Lu, Zhang Jianlin and others who were in the Yuanshen realm all stood up in horror.

"This……"

"Reaching the depths of thunderclouds directly during the first tribulation? How bold!?"

"Isn't it said that Master Yaoguang is a steady person? How come... he suddenly penetrated so deeply into the Heavenly Thunder Layer?"

These Yuanshen realm cultivators looked worried.

Even Zhao Siliang and You Qianshan no longer had smiles on their faces.

Although Yaoguang was still the head of Zixiao Academy, after he submitted the design of the "Zixiao Type 13" flying sword, his importance had surpassed that of the branch sect masters and domain masters. If anything unexpected happened...

That would be a huge loss for the entire sect.

……

In the thunder layer.

As time went on, more and more thunders came bombarding us.

At first glance, Yaoguang's soul was almost completely submerged by the thunder.

Zhao Siliang and others were even considering whether to give orders to Zhao He to rush into the mine layer to rescue people.

Just when they were feeling uneasy, the thunder in front of them gradually subsided.

The layer of lightning that was surging violently like a whirlpool also began to dissipate.

"it's over?"

"Wait, this method of ending is wrong... There is only one way for any Yuan Shen realm cultivator to end the tribulation, and that is to leave the thunder layer. Once you enter the thunder layer, no matter who you are, thunder will be generated by the collision of yin and yang. At the moment, the thunderclouds are dissipating, instead of spreading downwards with a certain figure until they can no longer extend..."

Bai Lu, Xu Kong, Zhang Jianlin and others who were knowledgeable looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Yaoguang's soul...

Destroyed! ?
But almost as soon as this terrible thought came to their mind, a more brilliant purple light suddenly bloomed higher up in the clouds.

This burst of purple light did not cause any deafening sound, but instead appeared briefly like the aurora.

But the moment it appeared, all the soul cultivators who understood its meaning looked up in shock.

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder!?"

"This is impossible!"

Bai Lu and Zhang Jianlin screamed out loud at the first moment.

The reason why the thunderclouds of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder Layer dissipated was because Yaoguang rushed into the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Layer! ?
The first time he overcame the tribulation, he actually broke through the one-nineth, thirty-nineth, and ninety-nineth thunder tribulations, and entered the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Layer! ?

This……

How can it be! ?
Putting aside the cultivators from the Heavenly Palace, in the entire Jiuding Sect, there is not even one great cultivator who has passed through the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

For example, Bai Lu, the deputy hall master who was originally in charge of all matters concerning divine cultivation in the Jiuxiao Realm, was only able to enter the Purple Sky Divine Thunder layer but did not dare to draw upon the Purple Sky Divine Thunder for tempering.

As for Xu Kong...

He had been tempered by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, but like Fang Jie and the others, he was transferred here from other places because of the tense situation in the East China Sea Islands in recent times.

From this point we can see the importance of a cultivator in the Yuanshen realm who has survived the Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation.

But now...

Yaoguang, who was going through the tribulation for the first time, actually entered the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Layer! ?
It’s just...

Unprecedented!

Unbelievable!
Zhao Siliang and You Qianshan reacted extremely quickly.

Zhao Siliang immediately shouted in a low voice: "Block the news! The details of today's tribulation cannot be leaked to the outside world!"

You Qianshan immediately said to the others, "You guys go deep into the Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder Layer and pretend to be saving people. Xu Kong, you go to the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Layer and announce that you have completed the sixth Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tempering!"

Xu Kong, Bai Lu, Zhang Jianlin and others also realized the seriousness of the matter.

So genius.

The talent for spiritual cultivation displayed by Yaoguang was astonishing.

This kind of talent...

Bai Lu even felt that her extravagant hope a few days ago might even become a reality.

Shake the light...

There is real hope of breaking free from the shackles and taking that crucial step.

Therefore, before he actually reaches that step and the Jiuding Sect has enough ability to protect him, Yaoguang must keep a low profile.

Otherwise, you will definitely become the core assassination target of hostile forces.

"understand!"

Several people agreed, and one by one their souls left their bodies and went straight into the sky.

Only after those people left did Zhao Siliang and You Qianshan breathe a sigh of relief.

They looked at the purple light flickering at the end of the sky...

The worry gradually faded away, replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Is my Nine Skies Territory also going to produce such a world-class Shinto genius?"

"When Yaoguang displayed his divine power in Zixiao Academy and easily guided all the refiners in their work, I guessed that his talent in the field of divine power was probably not inferior to his talent in refining... Now it seems that we still underestimated him."

As they talked, they immediately realized something.

"Quick, report this good news to the Sect Master!"

You Qianshan said emphatically: "I even asked the ancestor to destroy a patrol warship to save Yaoguang... It's worth it! It's very worth it!"
