55 Chapter 1212: The Emergence of the Ghost Cavern (1/2)

Through his Eye of Insight, he could see the Power of Lightning swiftly grinding down Hall Master Xing's Primordial Spirit, swiftly pushing it toward dissipation. At this rate, Hall Master Xing didn't have much time left.

”There are many cultivators who have reached Quasi Leaving Aperture realm, but out of fear for the Power of Lightning, they dare not to summon their Leaving Aperture Ordeal down. Pavilion Master Gou is one such person. Going by this logic, it should be impossible for the Leaving Aperture Ordeal to fall on its own accord. It's likely that someone has interfered with Hall Master Xing's Primordial Spirit, thus giving rise to the current situation!” Zhang Xuan analyzed with a tight knit between his brows.

”There's no way to forcefully stop a lightning ordeal once it has started. Any attempt to interfere with the Leaving Aperture Ordeal will only make it grow stronger, thus putting the cultivator facing it in greater peril…” Ji shi remarked as he shook his head helplessly.

As a Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle expert, he had read many books regarding the Leaving Aperture Ordeal, so he knew quite a bit about it as well.

This was the trial that the world put those who attempted to vie power from it through, and those who dared to cheat in the trial would have to face a greater lashback from the heavens.

”Indeed, this is really a dilemma.” Zhang Xuan nodded grimly.

What was truly fearsome about the lightning ordeal was that no one would be able to interfere with it started, or else it would only grow stronger and stronger before eventually reaching an uncontrollable level. Take his Saint Ascension Ordeal for example, despite seeing how much danger he was in, Luo Ruoxin still held herself back from interfering, knowing that any attempt to do so would only put him in greater danger.

Otherwise, Zhang Xuan would at least have dozens of methods to eradicate the lightning ordeal.

”If we don't do anything soon, Hall Master Xing really will lose his life!” Division Head Liao urged anxiously.

”I know!” Zhang Xuan replied impatiently as he muttered 'flaws' in his mind, and a book materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path.

He swiftly flipped it open to take a look.

A moment later, he turned to Wu shi and said, ”You are the only one who can save Hall Master Xing now.”

”Me?” Wu shi was taken aback.

”Is there anyone who has any Spirit Reinforcing Pill here?” Paying no heed to Wu shi's bewilderment, Zhang Xuan turned to the crowd and asked.

”I have one here!” Division Head Liao rushed up and passed a jade bottle into Zhang Xuan's hand.

Zhang Xuan immediately took out the pill from the bottle before placing it into Wu shi's hands, ”Swallow it.”

Wu shi looked at the pill in his hand hesitantly.

The Spirit Reinforcing Piill was a grade-7 pill that harnessed an immense amount of spiritual energy. Even as a Half-Leaving Aperture realm cultivator, if he were to consume it recklessly, there was good chance that he would be unable to control the massive accumulation of energy within his body and explode on the spot.

”I don't have any time to explain. Just believe me and do it!” Zhang Xuan's face darkened further upon seeing Wu shi's hesitation.

”Yes!” Knowing that the young man before him wielded capabilities exceeding that of ordinary humans, Wu shi dared not to utter any nonsense. He quickly placed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

A moment later, he felt a furious surge of energy rampaging angrily within his body, threatening to burst his meridians apart.

”There are a few flaws in your cultivation technique. Once you correct them, you will be able to achieve a breakthrough on the spot…” Zhang Xuan's voice began sounding melodiously in the air.

Before Wu shi could even process what was going on, he realized that the zhenqi in his body had already begun to move in accordance with the words spoken by the young man before him.

”This is… Impartation of Heaven's Will? Is Zhang shi intending to resolve my flaws and have me achieve a breakthrough to Leaving Aperture realm on the spot?” Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.

Instructing him to swallow the Spirit Reinforcing Pill and resolving the flaws concerning his Primordial Spirit… No matter how slow he was, he would have to be a fool to still not understand what was going on.

Within moments, the zhenqi in his body had already fused together with the spiritual energy in the Spirit Reinforcing Pill, swiftly accumulating more and more.

Boom!

In less than three minutes, he broke through the bottleneck of his body, and Primordial Spirit which shared the same appearance as him emerged from his glabella.

”Go over!” Zhang Xuan instructed as he gave Wu shi's Primordial Spirit a push on the back.

Before Wu shi could even process what had just happened, his Primordial Spirit was already fast on its way toward the Hall Master Xing's lightning ordeal.

”This…” Watching as the fearsome streak of lightning swiftly enlarged before his eyes, Wu shi nearly fainted on the spot.

He had only achieved a breakthrough to Leaving Aperture realm, and he hadn't even had time to reinforce his cultivation when he was suddenly forcefully pushed toward the lightning ordeal… Could it be that Zhang shi thought that it would be a pity for Hall Master Xing to depart alone, so he wanted to send him down as a companion for Hall Master Xing to walk the final journey with him?

”Quick, push Hall Master Xing's Primordial Spirit back into his body!” Seeing that Wu shi was still dazing off in midair, Zhang Xuan bellowed anxiously.

”Push his Primordial Spirit back?” Wu shi was stunned for a moment before realizing that even though he had stepped into the area of the lightning ordeal, he wasn't affected by the Power of Lightning.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he hurriedly grabbed forward to push Hall Master Xing's Primordial Spirit down.

Huala!

Hall Master Xing's Primordial Spirit flew straight back into his body.

Hu!

Nourished by his body, Hall Master XIng's Primordial Spirit finally stabilized from its previous injured condition. As powerful as the lightning ordeal was, it wasn't sufficient to faze Hall Master Xing's incredibly resilient body in the short run.

”This… What's going on? Isn't interfering with the Lightning Ordeal of another a huge taboo? How could they still be fine?”

Taking the scene into sight, the crowd was utterly dumbstruck by what they were seeing.

Under normal circumstances, the Leaving Aperture Ordeal would have surely intensified as soon as one stepped into the perimeter of the lightning ordeal. So, how could nothing happen when Wu shi's Primordial Spirit headed over to save Hall Master Xing?

”Who says that they are fine? Speak of the devil, here it comes…” Zhang Xuan shook his head grimly.

Hurriedly turning their gazes over, the crowd saw the swiftly dissipating ominous clouds in the air suddenly gathering together once more.

”Wu shi has barely reached Quasi Leaving Aperture realm, and as one who has to face a lightning ordeal himself, the lightning ordeal of others is unable to faze him. It's through making use of this loophole that he was able to save Hall Master Xing successfully. However, this maneuver on his part brought him to the lightning ordeal's notice, so his Leaving Aperture Ordeal would be falling very soon as well.” Zhang Xuan explained.

”He has to face a Leaving Aperture Ordeal too?”

The crowd nearly fainted on the spot.

What is the point of this then?!

To put another in danger in the midst of saving one, aren't we returning back to the square one in the end?

”Wu shi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and return to your body!” Oblivious to the shock of those around him, Zhang Xuan bellowed.
