AWB Chapter 196 See? See? I knew you woman didn't want to care about me.
Chapter 196 See? See? I knew you woman didn't want to care about me.
Qingyang Venerable Saint tossed a storage bag to Zhong Lingxin from afar.
Zhong Lingxin cupped her hands in thanks to Yu Letian: "Thank you, senior brother. That should be enough for me."
Yu Letian grinned. It's good to have a master, especially a great master like Qingyang Zunsheng.
Alright, he doesn't need to prepare anything, he can just wait for the congratulations.
To advance from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, one must undergo the Forty-Nine Thunder Tribulation, a process in which the tribulation lightning shatters the Golden Core and reshapes it into a Nascent Soul. With a Nascent Soul, a cultivator is essentially given another life.
Zhong Lingxin sat upright in the center of the tribulation arena, arranged all the tribulation supplies one by one, and then faced the tribulation with her five hearts facing the center, welcoming the arrival of the lightning tribulation.
The clouds of calamity hung low over Zhong Lingxin's head, making everyone's hearts tremble.
The tribulation lightning of this Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed thicker than the tribulation clouds of many people who had transformed into Deity cultivators.
In the dark sky, rumbles of thunder sounded like explosions in one's heart, making one feel suffocated and oppressed.
The hissing purple lightning crackling within the tribulation clouds sent a chill down everyone's spine.
It's Zidian!
Since records began on the Immortal Spirit Continent, it has been several thousand years since a Nascent Soul cultivator has undergone the Purple Lightning Tribulation.
Zhong Lingxin looked up at the sky.
Although it was a purple lightning bolt, she could sense that the Heavenly Dao had no intention of killing her.
But why did she also sense a trace of anger from Heaven?
Forget it, I don't want to.
Let's focus on overcoming this tribulation.
Judging from the appearance of these calamity clouds, they are probably up to no good.
As soon as Zhong Lingxin channeled her spiritual energy, her dantian began to spin wildly.
A rumbling sound resounded in his dantian.
It was a golden core, and the golden core emitted a whooshing sound, echoing the muffled tribulation clouds in the sky.
As a bolt of lightning as thick as a chopstick struck, Zhong Lingxin felt her golden core being hit, bouncing inside her dantian, causing her to groan in pain.
Another bolt of lightning struck, and the golden core bounced again, causing her to groan in pain once more.
Nine bolts of tribulation lightning struck in succession, causing her golden core to bounce nine times, making her groan in pain.
Finally, the Nine Tribulations of Thunder had finished.
Ignoring the pain, Zhong Lingxin hurriedly focused her inner energy on her dantian.
Very good, the Golden Core has already developed many fine cracks.
However, now that the tribulation lightning is gone, the small cracks on the golden core are showing signs of healing.
Zhong Lingxin gritted her teeth and tried her best to absorb spiritual energy.
Let the golden core heal if it needs to; her meridians were also cracked by the tribulation lightning and needed to heal as well.
The second and ninth tribulation lightning bolts descended, now as thick as a fist, making the impact even more painful.
Zhong Lingxin still did not activate the defensive array, gritting her teeth and enduring the tribulation lightning striking her head.
In her dantian, the golden core was once again cracked, and the repair speed had obviously slowed down.
This is a sign that the Golden Elixir is about to shatter.
Zhong Lingxin felt intense pain, not only in her dantian but also in her consciousness; every pore of her body ached.
The Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation was quickly completed.
Forty-nine Thunder Tribulation...
A lightning bolt thicker than a basketball struck down.
Zhong Lingxin stood up, drew her Soul-Slaying Sword, and slashed at the lightning tribulation.
A deafening roar shook the sky, causing Chuan Lingxin's vision to go black, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
A muffled groan echoed in her heart.
Zhong Lingxin's anger flared, and she roared, "Again!"
A thicker bolt of purple lightning struck down overhead.
Zhong Lingxin gripped the Soul-Slaying Sword with both hands and slashed it towards the tribulation lightning.
The lightning bolts scattered across the sky.
Zhong Lingxin couldn't even hold onto the Soul-Slaying Sword in her hand, and it was flung into the air by the tribulation lightning.
Zhong Lingxin waved her hand and shouted, "Come back!" She gripped the Soul-Slaying Sword and slashed at the chaotic purple lightning flashing across the sky once more.
The purple lightning exploded on the Soul-Slaying Sword, tearing Zhong Lingxin's skin and flesh open, causing blood to gush from his hands.
Zhong Lingxin internally focused her gaze on her dantian.
Very good, the Golden Core has shattered. What remains is the process of shaping the Infant.
She swallowed a healing pill, gripped the Soul-Slaying Sword with her bony hands, and shouted to the sky, "Again!"
The lightning bolts seemed to have been provoked by Zhong Lingxin.
A deafening explosion that shook everyone to their core resounded above the tribulation arena, and three bolts of tribulation lightning struck Zhong Lingxin's Soul-Slaying Sword.
Zhong Lingxin's Soul-Slaying Sword flew into the air, and she herself spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
After a long while, Zhong Lingxin moved her hand and poured a few pills into her mouth.
The sky was filled with oppressive clouds, and purple lightning flashed wildly, swirling above Zhong Lingxin's head.
Zhong Lingxin grinned.
She has angered the will of Heaven.
What a petty person! I was already furious with her, so why did she have to provoke me further?
Fortunately, Heaven wasn't truly angry with her.
It wasn't until her body was healed, her flesh and blood were fully restored, and the Soul-Slaying Sword was summoned back and pointed at the sky once more, that another bolt of lightning struck down.
Now, Zhong Lingxin has behaved herself.
She wouldn't call out "Again" until she had fully recovered.
She even sensed a sense of regret from Heaven, a regret that she hadn't kept shouting "Again!"
The final three bolts of tribulation lightning were each more powerful than the last.
But Zhong Lingxin got through it without any real danger.
Everyone thought that the Four-Nine Thunder Tribulation had ended and the tribulation was over.
The rain is coming.
Big bowls and small bowls were all brought out to grab space.
But the storm clouds in the sky remained dark and heavy, showing no sign of turning into rain.
Someone whispered, "It's a matter of self-examination! Junior Sister Zhong is about to undergo a trial of her own heart!"
For a moment, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
The Tribulation of the Heart is said to be even more difficult than the Tribulation of Lightning; if you answer it wrong, your soul will be scattered.
Zhong Lingxin had also prepared large basins and small buckets to catch the rain, but little did she know there was still the hurdle of being questioned.
A heavy "humph" sounded in her mind.
Zhong Lingxin smiled; this person was genuinely dissatisfied with her.
But she believed she had done nothing to wrong the Immortal Spirit Continent.
She did not exploit the weak, she did not bully or oppress the kind, she praised the brave, and she paid tribute to the upright.
What does the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Spirit Continent want to ask her?
A sharp question echoed in her mind: "Speak, why are you unwilling to protect the Immortal Spirit Continent?"
Oh, so that's the problem.
It seems that the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Spirit Continent indeed knew that she had obtained the Dragon Eye Bodhi and the Immortal Spirit Token.
The Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Spirit Continent should also know that she is unwilling to protect... No, she is willing to do her part, she just doesn't want to be a guardian, that responsibility is too great, her small shoulders really can't bear it.
The Celestial Spirit Heavenly Dao roared furiously in Zhong Lingxin's sea of consciousness: "No, you just don't want to take responsibility, you're afraid of trouble, you want to ascend and leave without me."
Zhong Lingxin sighed. Okay, she did want to ascend, but how could she just ignore him after she ascended?
She ascended to heaven, far away from the emperor's reach, and there was no way the emperor could control her!
The Celestial Spirit Heavenly Dao was furious again: "See, see, I knew you woman didn't want to care about me."
Zhong Lingxin replied earnestly, "It's not that I don't care about you. I have family here, how could I not think about them? It's just that my abilities are limited. To be a guardian, I not only need to be outstanding myself, but I also need to cultivate successors. This is a systematic project that I simply cannot complete in a short time."
