C924 Four Heavenly Tribulations
Although Zuoqiu Meng's heavenly tribulation appeared in Weng Jia Village.
However, as a true Half-Step Sage, while experiencing the heavenly tribulation that only those who had transcended the Saint realm would have, that sort of momentum instantly descended upon the entire Tongxuan City.
Thus, very quickly, the commotion caused by the Weng Manor instantly drew the attention of many cultivators.
At this time, many cultivators were also looking at the Weng Manor. When they noticed the scene of the heavenly tribulation in the Weng Manor, they were all extremely shocked.
"Such a powerful lightning tribulation, could it be that someone is undergoing the sacred tribulation?"
"Why would it appear in the Weng family mansion?"
"Who exactly is undergoing a Saint Tribulation?"
"Could it be the Patriarch of the Weng family? Could it be that the Patriarch of the Weng Family has already stepped into the Half-Step Saint Realm?"
"It's said that the Patriarch of the Old Clan is already old. Now that he has chosen to undergo the Divine Tribulation, could it be that he intends to take a gamble and break through to the Saint Realm?"
"It might be possible. After all, the Patriarch of the Weng Family had hidden injuries in his early years, and now that he's old, he might be able to survive this Divine Tribulation for a long time."
"That's true. However, it doesn't seem to be feasible to do something like this. With his current condition, the chances of him successfully transcending the tribulation will be very low. He might even be killed by the power of the Divine Tribulation."
"Let's hurry over and take a look. Who knows, there might be another Saint Realm cultivator, even though the possibility of that being true isn't very high."
"That's right, that's right. No matter who it is, facing the tribulation at this time, the scene will be very spectacular"
...
The entire Tongxuan City was in an uproar at this moment. All the cultivators with status and background flew towards the area where the Weng Jia Village was located.
Although they did not fly in the sky, their speed was still extremely shocking.
At the same time, in the Qin manor not far from the Weng manor, the patriarch of the Qin family was training in seclusion. However, after hearing the thunderous sound, he could not maintain this training state.
His figure flashed out from the training ground. Then, he spread the wings of the Spiritual Qi on his back and flew to the sky above the Qin family.
"I don't know who is transcending the tribulation here. Hiss, this kind of pressure from the heart. It's terrifying and shocking." The patriarch of the Qin Family stood in the sky. At the same time, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart when he felt the overwhelming pressure from the black thunderclouds in the sky.
His cultivation had also reached the Half-Step Saint Realm. However, because he did not have much confidence in surviving the heavenly tribulation, he had been stuck at this realm for many years.
Now, although he was not the one transcending the heavenly tribulation, he was indeed standing under the thunder clouds. Even so, the pressure of his reputation still made him feel a lingering fear in his heart. He could not bear it at all.
He did not have too many doubts either. With his current condition, if his Saint Infant was exposed, this thundercloud would definitely be aware of it at the first possible moment. After which, he unleashed a terrifying heavenly might and directly enveloped him within it.
"Humph, it doesn't matter who his own life is. If I were to curiously approach him, I might even attract my own heavenly tribulation."
The patriarch of the Qin Family spoke in a deep voice. However, he did not intend to investigate this matter. In this current situation, even though he was a Half-Step Saint, he was still the most dangerous.
Hence, his figure flew back to the ground after this thought appeared. After which, he returned to the place where he was training in seclusion.
To the other members of the Qin family, because the Qin family only had the patriarch of the Qin family, who was at the half-step saint realm, in the entire Qin family. Therefore, they did not have much to worry about. Their figures flashed and rushed to the area where the Weng family was located.
Regarding the Patriarch of the Qin family's performance, in Tongxuan City, similarly, the other four Patriarchs did not go. They were the remaining leaders of the four first-rate forces. Because their cultivation base had already reached the Half-Step Saint Realm, they were also afraid of being involved.
After all, they hadn't taken the final step because they were facing the heavenly tribulation at the same time. They didn't have full confidence, but now. If they went to investigate and were locked down by the power of the heavenly tribulation... He might even be killed by the heavenly tribulation.
...
Zuoqiu Clan.
Ever since Zuoqiu Meng left the clan and headed to the Weng Manor, Zuoqiu Tian Yu had been staying in the hall.
Zuoqiu Tian Yu had similarly never considered the safety of Zuoqiu Meng this time. Not to mention that Zuoqiu Meng possessed a cultivation at the Half-Step Saint Realm. Merely amongst the cultivators that accompanied him on this trip, there was an existence at the Half-step Saint Realm like the grand elder of the clan.
Unless Ling Jian possessed the strength of a Saint, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape from the hands of two Half-step Saint Realm cultivators...
"Hmph, Meng Er has been gone for such a long time. I'm afraid that Ling Jian has already been killed. Hmph, he actually dared to move so quickly. He must be courting death." Zuoqiu Tian Yu sneered while his gaze was extremely gloomy.
Even if Ling Jian was already the son-in-law of the Tantai Price Clan and possessed a noble status, so what? Could it be that his daughter's status was ordinary?
To actually dare to touch his daughter, Ling Jian's death was not something to be regretted about.
Rumble!
Another low rumble of thunder rang out.
Along with the increasing frequency of the rumbling of thunder, the subsequent sounds also became increasingly loud and clear. Not only did it spread to the entire Tongxuan City, it even similarly entered into Zuoqiu Tian Yu's mind at this moment.
Zuoqiu Tian Yu originally sat in the hall with a cold and stern expression. However, when he heard this low and deep thunderous sound, his expression trembled slightly.
"Something's not right. Why is there a lightning tribulation?"
As a genuine cultivator at the Saint Realm, Zuoqiu Tian Yu knew that it was a lightning tribulation even if he only heard the low rumbling of thunder from the saber.
Swoosh.
In the next moment, Zuoqiu Tian's figure moved, and under the precondition that he frowned deeply, his figure charged out of the clan. In next to no time, his figure landed in the sky, and his gaze immediately saw the dense black thunderclouds in the sky.
"There is indeed someone undergoing Heavenly Tribulation!" Although he had already made a guess after researching it in his heart. However, after seeing the thunderclouds, Zuoqiu Tianyu's heart suddenly changed.
At the same time, he was unceasingly guessing in his heart the person transcending the tribulation this time.
In the entire Tongxuan City, the number of cultivators that could truly transcend the tribulation could be said to be counted on one's fingers. Only the people from the five great clans and the elders of the Tantai Clan and Zuoqiu Clan were truly capable of accomplishing this.
"This aura... Something's not right!" Suddenly, Zuoqiu Tian Yu's face trembled violently, and that familiar aura caused his heart to tremble without end.
His gaze instantly locked onto the place where the thunderclouds converged, and the bad premonition in his heart couldn't help but become stronger.
"Impossible..."
Zuoqiu Tian Yu's heart became increasingly heavy. At this moment, her face had already become incomparably ugly. She didn't dare to stay any longer. Her figure flashed. The spirit energy wings on her back spread out, and her figure swiftly swept towards the area where the thunder clouds gathered.
After all, as a Saint, he was able to tell that the place where the thunder clouds landed was the Weng family.
One had to know that the elder of the clan and Zuoqiu Meng were both "guests" in the Weng Manor!
...
Tongxuan City, Tantai Family.
Just as Zuoqiu Tian Yu was preparing to set off for the Zweng Manor, the Tantai Family Head was also preparing to set off for the Zweng Manor.
At this moment, beside the Tantai Emperor, Tantai You had an anxious expression on his face. He was using his small hand to pull on the clothes of the Tantai Emperor as he kept urging the Tantai Emperor. He had clearly told Tantai Xian Di about Ling Jian heading to Weng Jia Village.
"
Father, let's hurry up and leave, if we're a little late. Ling Jian will be in danger."
Tantai You spoke anxiously, his face filled with anxiety.
"There's no need to be so nervous. With Ling Jian's ability, Zuoqiu Meng is unable to pose a threat to him."
Tantai Xian Di spoke indifferently, and he seemed to be extremely composed. However, his gaze shot up into the sky at this moment, and he said in a low voice, "I wonder what Ling Jian is visiting for. He actually triggered the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Could it be that he has already killed Zuoqiu Meng now?" The Tantai Emperor spoke with uncertainty in his heart. However, at the same time that he thought of this, his face sank as well.
As a cultivator at the Saint Realm and the current Patriarch of the Tantai Clan, Tantai Xian Di was naturally aware of Zuoqiu Meng's capabilities.
Zuoqiu Meng simply didn't have the ability to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.
If Zuoqiu Meng wasn't courting death himself, then there was only one possibility left. Zuoqiu Meng's fleshly body had already been blasted apart by Ling Jian, and now that his Saint Nascent Soul had been exposed, he had no choice but to face the Heavenly Tribulation that was impossible to overcome!
Otherwise, so long as Zuoqiu Meng wasn't a fool, then he wouldn't have gone to the extent of madly making a breakthrough. Moreover, taking a step back, wouldn't it be even better if Zuoqiu Meng returned to his clan to make a breakthrough?
"If Zuoqiu Meng's body was really destroyed by Ling Jian, and the person that's facing the tribulation now is Zuoqiu Meng, then this will be a great deal of fun." At the same time that he thought up to here, a wisp of a strange expression appeared in the eyes of the Tantai Emperor.
After all, Ling Jian had already crippled Zuoqiu Lingming's Skysoul Manor at the instant he'd entered Darkreach City. He'd caused Zuoqiu Lingming to become a cripple now, and if he were to blow up Zuoqiu Meng's body now... If a Saint Nascent Soul had no choice but to face a Heavenly Tribulation, then under such circumstances... Zuoqiu Tian Yu would surely go mad.
After all, even though Zuoqiu Tian Yu was a genuine Saint Realm cultivator, he only had these two children.
Presently, these two heirs had fallen successively at the hands of Ling Jian, even if he personally made a move now. It was probably impossible to stop Zuoqiu Tian Yu's killing intent towards Ling Jian.
"However, even though that's the case, Ling Jian's actions aren't completely meaningless. At the very least, he eliminated Zuoqiu Meng and eliminated a potential threat for the Tantai Clan."
"Otherwise. If we wait until Zuoqiu Meng breaks through to the Saint realm in the future, I'm afraid the position of the Tantai Clan will fall."
The Tantai Emperor muttered to himself.
Both the Tantai Clan and the Zuoqiu Clan had Half-Step Saint Realm cultivators. However, among the two great clans, if one were to say who would be the first to break through this shackle, then this person would undoubtedly belong to Zuoqiu Meng.
The Tantai Emperor thought of this in his heart. After which, he glanced at Tantai You. At this moment, Tantai You was glaring fiercely at him. He helplessly smiled bitterly. Immediately, he did not dare to continue staying in the clan. Spiritual energy wrapped around Tantai You's delicate body and flew towards the area where the Weng family was located.
...
The Weng family.
Although the battle in Weng Jia Village had ended, the violent spiritual energy between heaven and earth did not fade away immediately. Especially when all of this was caused by the heavenly tribulation in the sky, this kind of wild and violent aura was spreading out. It made the hearts of the cultivators on the scene tremble even more.
Fortunately, the situation did not last long. After Sister Lei's force in the sky was used four times, zuoqiu Meng's soul had vanished. This caused the thunderclouds in the sky to gradually fade. At the same time... The powerful heavenly might also gradually dissipated.
Ling Jian stood in the distant sky with an incomparably cold gaze.
He watched helplessly as Zuoqiu Meng's Saint Nascent Soul completely dissipated under the effects of the heavenly tribulation. However, he didn't feel any surprise or good.
With Zuoqiu Meng's strength, even if she was at her peak. Not to mention that her fleshly body had already been destroyed. She was utterly unable to display her true level.
After all, even if a cultivator's physical body was destroyed, a cultivator's Saint Nascent Soul would not die within a short period of time. For a cultivator's combat strength, it would definitely have a great impact.
The Heavenly Tribulation that Zuoqiu Meng triggered when his fleshly body was destroyed naturally belonged to the extremely terrible sort. Even if there were only three Heavenly Tribulations, it wasn't something Zuoqiu Meng could resist.
So, Zuoqiu Meng only triggered the fourth bolt of heavenly tribulation, and this single bolt of heavenly tribulation hadn't really descended, yet he'd already completely vanished like smoke.
"Hmph! So what if he attracted four Heavenly Tribulations? Even if he really becomes a cultivator at the Saint Realm at such a level, his achievements in the future will surely be limited. " Ling Jian smiled indifferently. However, he didn't take Zuoqiu Meng's ability to attract the fourth tribulation bolt to heart.
To any cultivator. He wanted to become a true Saint. No matter what, he wouldn't be able to avoid this tribulation.
However, even for cultivators with the same cultivation level, the heavenly tribulation they had to face couldn't be the same.
The so-called difference here naturally referred to the number of lightning tribulations.
For cultivators of the Half-Step Saint Realm, if they were to undergo tribulation at the same time, the greater the number of lightning tribulations, the higher their achievements would be in the future, and their combat strength would be even greater. They would go a bit further.2
For a Half-Saint cultivator, there were a total of nine lightning tribulation books.
Among them, most of the cultivators were Saints who had passed three Lightning Tribulations.
Although Zuoqiu Meng had triggered four Heavenly Tribulations, it seemed to be quite alright. But he hadn't passed it after all. Even if she had truly passed four bolts of heavenly tribulation, her cultivation would probably only stop at the Saint Realm in the future. Moreover, she would still be a slightly weaker existence.
After all, in order to step into the Saint Realm, even the lowest level of the Saint Realm would require her to pass six stages of the Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, it would simply be an extravagant hope for her to reach the Saint Realm.
This was just like an exam. If one could not even maintain a passing grade, it naturally could not be said to be outstanding or exceptionally outstanding.
"This time, if I were to undergo the lightning tribulation, I would need to at least reach eight lightning tribulations." The passion in Ling Jian's heart instantly surged as he clenched his fists.
However, his heart was merely speaking in Ling Jian's heart. Otherwise... If these words were to come out of Ling Jian's mouth... Moreover, if the cultivators of Tongxuan City heard it, they would definitely think that Ling Jian was an out-and-out madman.
One must know that within the current Tongxuan City, it was even the Tantai Xian Di, who was known as the number one expert of Tongxuan City. When transcending the tribulation, he'd merely triggered five bolts of lightning tribulation. But even then, he had still become the number one expert in Tong Xuan City.
One could imagine. ... The more heavenly tribulations there were. At the same time, the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation would be even greater.
If Ling Jian was able to trigger eight lightning tribulations in the future, not to mention the entire Tongxuan City. Even if it was the entire East Taitian. Even sixteen days would be shaken by such a terrifying number of lightning tribulations.
As for the nine lightning tribulations, even in the entire plane of sixteen days... It had never happened before. If one had to trigger nine lightning tribulations at the same time as breaking through to the Saint Realm... This kind of willingness might only exist in legends...
After all, for cultivators, nine was the limit. Not many cultivators could reach the limit. It was like the best natural jade could never be flawless.
Not to mention the legendary Nine Tribulations, even if there were eight Tribulations, in the entire sixteen days, it was considered extremely rare. As for the seven Tribulations, even though there was one less among the eight Tribulations, however, it did not mean that it was relatively easy to overcome the eight Tribulations.
Even if it was sixteen days in total. There were only a handful of people who could actually pass seven lightning tribulations in the Saint realm.
...
When the aura of the lightning tribulations had completely dissipated. Ling Jian did not continue to stay in the void as his figure once again landed on the ground.
Without the suppression of a Half-Step Sage, the people of Weng Jia Village did not have that kind of oppressive feeling.
Similarly, the Ice Phoenix above Weng Ling Er's head returned to her body once again. When she saw Ling Jian appear on the ground, a smile appeared on her face. She even ran towards Ling Jian happily. Just as she was about to get close to Ling Jian,... She directly threw herself into Ling Jian's arms.
"Ling Er. She didn't need to climb anymore. I even killed some bad guys." Ling Jian patted Weng Ling Er's little head. He spoke in a gentle tone, saying that he was safe. However, just as he finished speaking...
Suddenly, a wave of noisy noises came from outside the Weng Jia Village.
Ling Jian frowned. Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the noise.
