Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 769: Lingyun Crossing the Tribulation
The third batch of cultivators who will undergo tribulation includes more than 30 remaining cultivators from the top-level team, the largest number of people in the world.

The reason why the Kingdom of Lu arranged for so many people to survive the tribulation at once was naturally because they had already found a way to deal with the tribulation:

Stacking materials.

It is difficult to improve the aptitude for cultivation and the total amount of true energy, and there is no way to find top-level spells and magic weapons. Therefore, the only area that can be optimized is the disposable props such as the Wanzhu Sword and the Xiaoxuan Light Ruler.

Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering worked together to tackle the problem, more than 30 national departments coordinated and cooperated, and nearly a thousand state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and public institutions worked overtime at all costs, which finally led to an extremely terrifying outbreak of industrial production capacity - no other country on the earth can do this.

Today, the production of Wanzhu Sword and Xiaoxuan Guangchi can not only provide top-level team monks with the use of tribulation, but there are even surpluses that can be distributed in large quantities to military monks as official "weapons" and "shields."

Their quality was extremely poor. The Wanzhu Sword would break after a few hits against an ordinary flying sword, and the Xiaoxuan Light Ruler would be depleted of energy and reduced to scrap metal after being struck by a single spell.

But they are cheap and available in large quantities, just like lemonade that costs 3 yuan a cup. No one cares whether there is flavoring in it.

Yan Yu even had a vague intuition: if they continued to develop along this path, perhaps modern industrial technology and the spiritual energy system would gradually merge, thus giving birth to a new order structure in which both mortals and cultivators could find their place.

Why didn't the Lu Kingdom of the previous life take this path? Because there weren't so many teams of monks who needed to overcome the tribulation. So many people died or rebelled, and the national defense pressure was everywhere, leaving no time for systematic preparations. Furthermore, the government didn't trust monks, so Teacher Mei had to wait until the late stage to be appointed to the position...

Oh, forget it. That was the original fate of the Lu Kingdom. The current situation is all my fault! What a shame! I'm not one to take credit for myself. I'm content as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

It's another day when I am moved by myself.

In the command room, everyone was watching Chen Lingyun's on-site tribulation.

If the tribulation-crossing process of the first two groups of cultivators was quite dangerous, then Chen Lingyun's tribulation-crossing process can only be described as "calm".

The thunder fell to a height of 400 meters, almost gathering into a dense thunder ball, and then she blew it apart with a Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunder, and then used the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Xiaoxuan Light Ruler to point out the fish that had escaped the net one by one.

It must be said that, as long as her reaction speed isn't tested, this woman's abilities in calculating tactics and seizing opportunities are truly top-notch. The Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunder consumes true essence, so it's best not to use it if possible, and instead use disposable items like the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Small Xuanguang Ruler.

Judging from the amount of resources left at the scene for overcoming the tribulation, as well as the waves of tribulation that have yet to descend, it seems that the Wanzhu Sword and Xiaoxuan Guang Ruler can be used up just in time for the tribulation to be over.

As for the remaining true energy in Chen Lingyun's body, everyone estimated that it should remain above 60%.

It can only be said that having abundant resources to overcome the tribulation is so invincible. After all, throwing the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Small Xuanguang Ruler does not require the use of true essence, so you can take the opportunity to calmly concentrate on refining the medicinal power. With sufficient true essence, no matter how you deal with it, there will be no danger.

Yan Yu felt a little bored, so he simply lowered his head to play with his phone. Suddenly, he saw a voice message from Liu Longtao:

"All dead."

"What do you mean all dead?" Yan Yu asked back.

"Kyoto Onmyoji Headquarters." There seemed to be a strong wind from the other side, and it seemed that they were flying swords at high speed. "And the Congress, I suspect..."

"Why don't you come down and talk first?" Yan Yu suggested.

"I'm busy. I'm being hunted." Liu Longtao sent several messages at once. "Listen to me."

"Their upper echelons are all dead, most likely due to Kanhara Simie."

"He used a large number of paper figures to disguise themselves as high-ranking officials, creating the illusion that these people had not been killed, thereby secretly bringing the entire Sakura Empire under his control."

"I guessed this a long time ago," Yan Yu said. "Otherwise, there's no way to explain why they're offering blood sacrifices to the Yamata no Orochi everywhere, unless the people above them have gone insane."

"Shut up! That's just speculation. I'm looking for evidence!" Liu Longtao replied. "Anyway, I need to get rid of this jerk chasing me now. I don't have time to argue with you."

"See you."

Yan Yu put down his phone and began to think carefully.

It's not surprising that Kanhara's death was the mastermind behind it, because in his previous life, this guy showed strong anti-human tendencies, like a time bomb that could explode at any time. As long as it can't explode abroad, it will explode at home sooner or later - he treats his own people no more friendly than he treats his enemies.

The fatal mistake made by Onmyoji was to support Kanhara Shimie, the first Onmyoji to pass the tribulation and advance to a higher level, so that before the next Onmyoji passed the tribulation, Kanhara Shimie's strength exceeded the controllable range, and then he turned around and defeated them all.

Of course, the Kingdom of Lu had faced a similar risk before, when Yan Yu first successfully transcended the tribulation. If Yan Yu had achieved his golden elixir and then declared rebellion, how could the Kingdom of Lu find another golden elixir master to stand against him?

However, Yan Yu's sincere patriotism had already been proven when he acquired the Taiyang Zhenmei sword intent, so the Privy Council had no doubts about him (of course, they might have doubted him, but ultimately they still tended to trust him), and they confidently supported him in his quest to overcome the tribulation. Alas, the so-called upper echelons' inability to judge people is the worst possible outcome, isn't it the destruction of the nation and the extinction of the race? The Yin-Yang Court's downfall isn't due to the ignorance and incompetence of those above them, but rather to the lack of a loyal and devoted person like Yan Yu!

Although Jing Ye had probably already reported the matter to his superiors, Yan Yu forwarded the message he sent to Li Weiguo and Chen Tianming just to be on the safe side.

"I understand." This was Li Weiguo's reply.

"Got it." Chen Tianming also replied and asked, "How is Lingyun's tribulation? In your opinion, what are her chances of achieving Dan formation now?"

"100% sure." Yan Yu typed back, "With so many Ten Thousand Bamboo Swords and Xiaoxuan Light Rulers, even a pig could survive the tribulation."

This is of course an exaggeration. Zhu Ke has no way of calculating the exact usage of the Wanzhu Sword and the Xiaoxuan Light Ruler, but these supplies do greatly make up for the deficiency of Chen Lingyun's own true energy.

If she can successfully overcome the tribulation, then the monks in the team who are more talented than her don't have to worry too much, even if they don't calculate so carefully.

Yan Yu was thinking about this when he suddenly saw the monks around him stand up one after another. It turned out that the last wave of thunder on the screen had all fallen, and the dust was about to settle completely.

When everyone arrived at the tribulation scene on their swords, they saw that Chen Lingyun no longer retained his true energy to prevent accidents. He threw out three consecutive Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunders in succession, clearing away the densely packed main body of the tribulation thunder.

Then he threw out the remaining Wanzhu Swords and Xiaoxuan Guang Ruler, destroying them together with the escaped thunder - and he used them up completely.

What if the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunder doesn't explode properly, resulting in too many remaining tribulation thunders and insufficient supplies to overcome the tribulation? Or have you already taken this into account?
Everyone found it incredible. Seeing the calamity clouds in the sky had dissipated, they were about to go up to investigate, but the medical team that had arrived had already taken Chen Lingyun away. After all, she was Elder Chen's daughter, and the base needed to inform her immediately.

"Can it really be calculated so accurately?" Li Minghu pondered.

For Sword Immortals, since their total True Essence was generally insufficient, the requirements for calculating endurance were naturally higher. If you had Xie Ruoxi's True Essence, you wouldn't even need to calculate, just mindlessly throw grenades and be done with it.

"Unlikely," Zhang Huaide offered his opinion. "Due to her position and perspective at the time, the lightning bolts were densely clustered above her head. She couldn't even see the exact number and distribution. How could she calculate it?"

"I think it's because after the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunder exploded, the remaining Tribulation Thunder happened to be enough for the remaining Ten Thousand Bamboo Swords and Xiaoxuan Light Ruler to handle, so she just used them up."

"That's not right," Yang Linhui suddenly said. "Isn't Chen Lingyun a ghost cultivator? If we use a large number of ghosts to hide in the surrounding area for reconnaissance, wouldn't we be able to monitor the falling thunder from multiple perspectives and complete the calculation?"

"That's impossible," Zhang Huaide said. "The envoys of the Envoy Monarch are considered extensions of the Envoy Monarch within the range of the Heavenly Tribulation. The Heavenly Tribulation will attack them all equally, even if they are invisible. Judging from the funnel-shaped lightning, she should be the only one at the scene of the tribulation."

"But there's a crucial flaw in your speculation." Li Zhaojiang also joined the discussion. "It's just a coincidence, too much of a coincidence. What if there are too many remaining tribulation thunders, and the Wanzhu Sword and Xiaoxuan Light Ruler are not enough to handle it?"

"Maybe she still has extra true energy." Zhang Huaide frowned slightly.

In fact, his own calculations also showed that Chen Lingyun had almost used up all her True Essence after throwing three Secret Thunders. After all, her total True Essence was on the same level as Yan Yu's, not by much. As long as he estimated the cost of a single spell, he could calculate the endurance clearly.

But how to explain what Li Zhaojiang said? Chen Lingyun is not the type of person who likes to take risks. Rather than attributing this result to her good luck, it is more reasonable to explain it as her having extra Zhen Yuan.

"Yan Yu, what do you think?" Li Minghu asked.

Everyone turned their curious gazes to Yan Yu. As Chen Lingyun's teammate who knew her best, he should be able to tell what method she had used.

"You're all wrong." Yan Yu absentmindedly lowered his head to play with his phone and said casually, "In fact, she arranged the Yin ghosts in advance to monitor the thunder outside the range of the heavenly tribulation, and then used the method of hearing and seeing the sky to transmit the reconnaissance information back to her."

Oh oh oh! Everyone suddenly understood.

The base had previously attempted to use modern communications technology to provide information support to cultivators undergoing the tribulation, but discovered that the magnetic field at the site was too chaotic to transmit data over long distances. It now appeared that magical powers like the ability to hear and see everything were unaffected by the tribulation.

"The range of the tribulation is already very large. So her familiar can't stand that far away?" Zhang Huaide seemed to have realized something and turned around and said, "Xiao Lian, you should also test the distance limit of your communication with the spirit insect."

"You're worthy of me, Yanyu." Li Minghu said with a smile, "We never thought of this."

"It's nothing. I just have more knowledge and experience than you." Yan Yu responded modestly.

Lin Ning, who was next to him, moved closer and saw that the chat window with Chen Lingyun on Yan Yu's phone screen was still open.

The captain is showing off again... She curled her lips calmly. Thinking that she was the last one in the team to pass the tribulation, she suddenly felt a little sad.
