Chapter: 1401 (1/2)

AST 1401 – Second Grade Formation Eye Stone, Yehuang Guwu False God Tribulation, Unforeseen Event

This could be considered as being provided help at a time of need. He had been moving back and forth for over a year, each time only bringing one person. The breakthrough now was a huge surprise.

Once he was done refining and smelting the Five Elements Divine Flag, he moved on to smelt and refine other items.

Maybe good things are better when they happen together, the Formation Eye stone also rose in grade. Now the speed and the formation’s power had increased by twofold. This was a twofold increase on top of his own formation power.

He was already happy. The Nine Continents Boots and Formation Eye Stone could enhance Qing Shui’s strength by quite a bit. This represented a battle prowess increase in the Five Elements, even if it did not have a form. At the same time, Qing Shui’s strength had also increased.

Time passed by slowly, Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant’s situation was still the same. Qing Shui had wanted the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant to break through so he would have another formidable False God beast fighter. Moreover, it would also mean that Qing Shui’s strength would rise even further.

That way, if Qing Shui decided to leave, he could leave behind a formidable beast. Now that there were old people here, leaving a formidable beast behind would make them feel at ease.

……

“Qing Shui, Sister Wu’s False God Tribulation is here.” Hai Dongqing rushed to Qing Shui’s room to inform him.

“After such a long time, it’s time it arrived. I will go take a look, make sure the others do not disturb her.” Qing Shui hurried out.

It had been a long time since Yehuang Guwu reached the False God grade, it was about time she had her breakthrough. Knowing that her False God Tribulation had arrived, Qing Shui was worried but not overly concerned because he knew she had a good foundation.

Yehuang Guwu was on a nearby hilltop. Qing Shui was watching from a distance away.

Yehuang Guwu was in snow-white plain clothes, with her beautiful hair draped behind her. She looked delicate without much effort, almost giving off an otherworldly aura.

The blue clouds converged in the sky, there was a vague feeling of everything in the surroundings mutually reacting to each other. This was the first time Qing Shui witnessed the False God Tribulation.

False God Tribulation was actually a trial to break through the gate to the next grade. Just like breaking through the barriers from before, False God Tribulation borrowed the power of thunder to temper the body. Those who were able to withstand it, would have their body strengthened to new heights, thus they’d enter the next grade.

False God Tribulation could only occur when one was the peak of their current martial realm, just before they are about to breakthrough they would experience the False God Tribulation. Only those who had reached a certain strength level could experience the False God Tribulation. If their martial realm did not meet the criteria, they would not attract the False God Tribulation.

Suddenly, a blue thunder struck down from the sky, it had the thickness of yarn but it directly struck onto Yehuang Guwu’s body.

Zap Zap!

A subtle noise resounded, a light blue light enveloped Yehuang Guwu’s body. She did not move her body, slowly waiting for the lightning to be absorbed into her body.

Qing Shui expanded his spiritual sense. He sensed the changes within Yehuang Guwu’s body. He was not very far from her but he was not close either.

Persisting for a few breath’s time, the blue lightning that surrounded Yehuang Guwu’s dissipated. The clouds converged in the sky once again, this time the energy being converged seemed to be much stronger than before.

The sky rained down slim lightning strikes again but even he could tell with the naked eye that the lightning strikes were slightly thicker than the last ones. It was limited to only being slightly thicker.

False God Tribulation’s beginning was to guide lightning towards the cultivator’s body to undergo refinement, this was the only way to withstand the later stages of the horrifying False God Tribulation. If the beginning was blocked, then the cultivator would lose the opportunity to pass the False God Tribulation.

At the beginning, False God Tribulation’s lightning strike were of the weaker kind. It was like a gift to enhance the cultivator’s body to allow them to absorb the energy without any damage. The benefits to the body could not be estimated.

Only after absorbing all the lightning, was the first stage of refinement complete. With this, the probability of passing the next stages of False God Tribulation was much higher. Unless the cultivator was one with incomparable inherent talent, they could deflect all the lightning to the outside.

Half an hour later, the lightning that struck downwards was already the thickness of the pinky finger. Moreover, there were at least a dozen bolts striking at once, it looked frightening. The crackle and rattling sound was especially crisp.

At this time, Yehuang Guwu was no longer absorbing all of it. She was partly absorbing and partly blocking.

While undergoing the False God Tribulation, one was to block some of the lightning but also absorb some of the lightning’s energy to change the body’s constitution. If all of it was blocked, of course the False God Tribulation would pass but the effect would be very weak. Even if the cultivator was blocking, they would still absorb a tiny bit. Thus, the weak effect would result from the weak absorption.

To completely absorb everything was impossible, he had not heard of anyone completely absorbing all the lightning from False God Tribulation.

If they could not block it, nor could they absorb it, then there would only be one result. The cultivator would fail the False God Tribulation and it would result in death!

Other people could block for the cultivator undergoing False God Tribulation, however the power of the strikes would be tenfold as strong, moreover it would be based on the strength of the person doing the blocking. For example, the tenfold power would not be using Yehuang Guwu as the base but it would be using Qing Shui as the base. It would be the equivalent of what Yehuang Guwu was experiencing but increased tenfold. It was better to let Yehuang Guwu deal with it.

Thus, on the World of Nine Continents, there were not many who would block during the False God Tribulation, those who block usually die. If they failed to block, the False God Tribulation would land on the person who was originally undergoing the False God Tribulation.

Thus, there was only one conclusion, the cultivators themselves must undergo the False God Tribulation.

False God Tribulation was still ongoing, it had already been an hour. The thickness of the lightning bolts was still about pinky finger width. However, the quantity had reached 50 bolts……

Roar!

Yehuang Guwu summoned a white tiger. Immediately, it shared half of the lightning bolts. The White Tiger’s strength was many times stronger than Yehuang Guwu’s.

When the White Tiger was summoned, Qing Shui was worried that it would be considered to be borrowing the strength of outside help and thus triggering the tenfold power spike on the lightning strike. Although it was too late, if it was going to be dangerous, Qing Shui was definitely going to rush over there.
