Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 101: Crossing the Tribulation
In the territory of Tiger Roar Mountain, Black Stone Valley.

The Black Stone Valley is covered with black stones. Looking around, the valley is vast and empty, pitch black, and there is no other life.

Niu Yi was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Black Stone Valley, looking up at the cloudless sky.

Since five years ago, he could vaguely feel that the thunder tribulation hanging above his head was slowly approaching, and the sense of danger was constantly deepening. Until now, this feeling has reached its peak.

“It’s coming soon.”

A hundred years of preparation, waiting for today.

Niu Yi slowly closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing, with golden light and magical power surrounding him.

In the distance of the Black Stone Valley, the land god of Jindou Mountain stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the Black Stone Valley with a worried look in his eyes.

Although Niu Yi said that he was somewhat confident, it was a thunder tribulation after all. If it was so easy to overcome, it could not be called a "tribulation". However, now, he could only pray alone that Niu Yi could escape danger.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, in the alchemy room.

Taoist Guanghui and Guangwu were sitting opposite each other at the table, and there was a basin of clear water on the table.

Taoist Guanghui waved his whisk lightly, and a picture slowly emerged above the basin of clear water. In that picture was Niu Yi sitting cross-legged in the center of the Black Stone Valley.

Guangwu looked at the handsome young man who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Is this Junior Brother Guangyi? He truly deserves to be my Junior Brother, so handsome!"

Taoist Guanghui laughed and shook his head, but saw that Guangwu opposite him had a hint of worry on his face.

He looked at Taoist Guanghui.

"Big Brother, does the Grandmaster really think that Junior Brother Niu Yi can survive this disaster?"

"What? Don't you trust your junior brother?"

Guangwu's eyes widened immediately and he said:

"of course not!"

"I am a little worried, but if the Grandmaster thinks I can do it, then I can definitely do it!"

Taoist Guanghui smiled and shook his head, pointing to the basin of water in front of the two of them.

"Whether it succeeds or not, we'll just have to wait and see."

Qinghua Changle Realm, Dongji Miaoyan Palace.

Jiuling Yuansheng was lying in the misty palace, with a faint light flashing in his eyes as he looked down at the clouds.

And what appeared in his eyes was Niu Yi who was sitting cross-legged in the center of Black Stone Valley.

"Hey, this kid's thunder tribulation is coming. Tianzun made you speak so mysteriously, so let me see how capable you are."

At this moment, in Black Stone Valley.

Niu Yi, who was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes, and a precious light flashed in his eyes.

But he looked up at the sky above his head. The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds in just a moment, plunging the earth into darkness.

"coming."

Niu Yi looked at the thunder tribulation in the sky, and a ray of precious light flashed in his eyes again. Feeling the terrifying thunder power that was constantly brewing in it, Niu Yi couldn't help but look solemn.

Over the years, even though his magic power has reached the peak of the demon commander realm, the several magic weapons in his hands have all been refined into natal magic weapons. Except for the cause and effect hexagram coins, all of them are natal magic weapons of gold or above grade.

However, even with so many methods at his disposal, Niu Yi could still sense a great sense of danger in this thunder tribulation. "Fortunately, I am no longer the same person I was back then."

Niu Yi looked at the thunder that began to flash in the dark clouds, his eyes full of determination.

When he faced this thunder tribulation back then, he was still weak. If a thunder tribulation struck him then, he would not have the slightest power to resist. But now...
But Niu Yi waved his sleeves, and three magic weapons flew out of his body in an instant and floated around him.

"Roar!!!"

"Roar----"

As the scroll of the dragon roar and tiger roar picture quickly opened, accompanied by the sound of dragon roar and tiger roar, a real dragon and a tiger suddenly rushed out from the dragon roar and tiger roar picture, protecting Niu Yi on the left and right.

This protection of the dragon and the tiger is the first line of defense.

At the same time, the Jade Bamboo-shaped Ten Thousand Leaf Golden Bamboo Sword quickly split into thousands of golden bamboo leaf flying swords. These bamboo leaf flying swords turned into golden vortexes, constantly rotating around Niu Yi.

This vortex of thousands of flying swords is the second line of defense.

As the first two lines of defense were completed, a burst of brilliant starlight bloomed on the star chessboard in front of Niu Yi, and then the star formation quickly opened up, turning the area around Niu Yi into a starry sky domain.

This great star formation could trap the enemy and also provide protection. At this moment, the black and white chess pieces, formed from the yin and yang energies, slowly flew out and disappeared one by one into the great star formation.

This star formation is the third line of defense.

If the thunder tribulation wanted to strike him, it would have to first pass through the three lines of defense: the outermost Star Array, the inner Ten Thousand Leaf Golden Bamboo Sword, and the real dragon and tiger beside him.

Among his five life-saving magic weapons, the cause-effect divination coins are used for cause-effect divination, and the soul-locking chain is also a magic weapon for the soul, specifically targeting the soul and the spirit, and has no protective power.

As for the Hunyuan Furnace and the Earth Spirit Pearl, they could not be activated and naturally could not be used to resist the thunder tribulation.

Niu Yi looked at the three lines of protection around him, then smiled at the thunder tribulation that was about to strike in the sky. His heart was calm, and the true secrets of the Eight-Nine Profound Art taught by the ancestor quickly emerged from his mind, and the magic power in his body began to circulate.

As Niu Yi practiced the true secret of the Eight-Nine Profound Art, the furnace magic power diagram in Niu Yi's body, which had been silent since its formation, was suddenly activated, causing Niu Yi to suddenly feel a burst of heat in his body.

It was as if there was a flame about to ignite in the furnace.

"boom!!!!"

The thunder in the sky noticed Niu Yi's provocative action, and the thunder began to flash wildly, erupting with a roar like the wrath of heaven.

I saw a bolt of lightning that seemed to be able to destroy the world and was pouring down like a flood, suddenly falling downwards, as if it was extremely angry and wanted to blow Niu Yi into ashes!
The Earth God of Jindou Mountain couldn't help but show a look of horror. Even Jiuling Yuansheng, Taoist Guanghui and Guangwu became a little serious.

Niu Yi looked at the terrifying thunder, which was just like what he saw that year, but its power seemed to be three times stronger.

Although Niu Yi looked solemn, he did not stop his actions. The seals in his hands kept changing, practicing the true secrets of the Eight-Nine Profound Art!

"boom!!!!"

But then the terrifying thunder suddenly fell and hit the Star World formed by the Star Array, and a rumbling sound erupted!
Niu Yi could feel that his Star Array was actually trembling slightly under this terrifying thunder.

But fortunately, this attack was blocked by the Xingluo Formation. Although the Xingluo Formation trembled a little, it did not allow it to break through! As the sky thunder dissipated, the Xingluo Formation still stood there.

Niu Yi's expression did not soften, as he knew that although he had defended against the first attack, this thunder tribulation was far from over, and the terrifying power in the sky was still brewing, ready to strike!
Niu Yi's face was solemn, but he did not slow down at all as he practiced the secrets of the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the movements of the hand seals that kept changing.

The furnace in his body reacted more and more violently with his movements. The incomparably powerful golden magic power in his body began to flow rapidly according to the magic power operation diagram of the furnace as he operated the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

And around Niu Yi, since some time ago, a golden furnace-shaped shape has been taking shape, gradually enveloping Niu Yi completely.

"boom----"

The reaction of the thunder tribulation in the sky suddenly became more violent. Thunderbolts flashed again and turned directly into a thunder tribulation waterfall, blasting towards the Black Stone Valley!
In just a moment, the Thunder Tribulation Waterfall, filled with terrifying thunder, crashed into the Black Stone Valley. Amidst a roar that shook the heavens and earth, the Thunder Tribulation Waterfall completely destroyed the Black Stone Valley in an instant, turning the area into a sea of ​​thunder!
