Chapter 384: Chapter 84 Tribulation Success, Obtaining Intelligence
The eighth thunderbolt of the tribulation took quite so ti to brew.
Above Lu Youjiu’s head, within the tribulation clouds, the sound of “rumbling” thunder was incessant, and countless dazzling lightning bolts tumbled within the clouds alongside the thunder.
The oppression brought about by the entire tribulation cloud grew more and more terrifying.
Clearly, the eighth thunderbolt of the tribulation was about to finish brewing.
It was at this mont that Lu Youjiu suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, operating his Magical Treasure to protect his body.
Following that,
Lu Youjiu took the gourd from his waist, opened the stopper, and directly gulped down a mouthful of wine.
With this mouthful of wine, even though Lin Jing was far away, he could feel that the Spiritual Power in Lu Youjiu’s body surged trendously in an instant.
After that, Lu Youjiu pointed his sword towards the sky and soared upwards.
It was at that mont,
that the eighth thunderbolt fell.
A massive column of thunderous light instantly engulfed Lu Youjiu entirely.
Lin Jing concentrated his Spiritual Power in his eyes just to barely make out what was happening inside.
At this mont, Lu Youjiu, whose injuries had almost healed, was once again wounded by the eighth thunderbolt, and the injuries were even more severe than before.
The two protective Magical Treasures emitted a cyan light as they worked at full capacity to protect Lu Youjiu.
Very quickly, the protective Magical Treasures could no longer hold on.
One of the treasures, which already had so cracks, could not withstand the devastation of the tribulation lightning anymore…
With a “bang,” it shattered.
In this way, it had fulfilled its mission.
And the situation with the other Magical Treasure was not optimistic either.
Finally, when the second Magical Treasure began to show extensive cracks and was about to shatter, the eighth thunderbolt had at last completed its course.
Now looking at Lu Youjiu again,
his body was covered in wounds, even his usually clean white clothes were stained red with blood.
In so places, they had stuck to the flesh exposed by his injuries.
At first glance, it was hard to distinguish between clothes and flesh.
Lu Youjiu was gravely injured, and the island under his feet had also been reduced by more than one layer by the thunderbolt.
The whole island had beco incredibly flat.
The fragnted rocks on the island lted under the bombardnt of the thunderbolt and then solidified into large clusters.
These clusters of rocks lted and solidified by the thunderbolt could no longer be considered as re rocks but had turned into a kind of tal.
Lin Jing thought that these tals could even be used for Artifact Refining Materials.
Though they wouldn’t make Magical Treasures, they should be suitable for refining Magic Artifacts.
……
After the eighth thunderbolt had passed, Lu Youjiu once again took out two Elixir dicines and consud them.
He needed to take advantage of every mont available to recover quickly and prepare for the final thunderbolt.
Looking at Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei, their faces filled with worry as they watched Lu Youjiu in the center of the island.
Lin Jing, however, was paying attention to the churning tribulation clouds above Lu Youjiu’s head.
With the continuous sounds of “rumbling” coming from within the clouds, the tribulation clouds above were still consolidating.
By the looks of their preparation, this final thunderbolt could very well be several tis more powerful than the eighth.
However, just as Lin Jing was pondering this…
Suddenly.
With a “crack,” the final thunderbolt unexpectedly fell.
At this mont, Lu Youjiu was still sitting in ditation below.
And the suddenness of the thunderbolt’s descent was so abrupt that the others didn’t even have ti to react.
The thunderbolt engulfed Lu Youjiu completely.
The group was imdiately shocked, as this final thunderbolt was too capricious and had co all too suddenly.
Lin Jing then looked at Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei.
Holaw Three Rivers had a grim expression, staring intently at the thick thunderbolt.
And Yan Wanfei was wearing a look of extre anxiety.
But they both knew that no matter how anxious they were, they had to wait.
The Heavenly Tribulation did not care who was undergoing the tribulation; anyone rashly entering its range would cause the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to double instantly.
Therefore,
the two of them dared not act rashly at this ti.
……
The last thunderbolt lasted for a full nine breaths’ ti.
Once the thunderbolt dissipated, the three rushed to look towards the center of the island.
They saw a deep crater thousands of ters wide at the center of the island.
Around the edge of this crater were rocks that had been scorched red-hot, so of which had already lted by half.
Looking down from above, Lin Jing saw Lu Youjiu, whose body was charred black, at the center of the crater.
At that mont, Lu Youjiu was almost unrecognizable as human.
But he was still sitting cross-legged in the pit.
Lin Jing focused his gaze and could see that Lu Youjiu’s blackened chest rose and fell slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief.
It seed that Lu Youjiu had succeeded in overcoming the tribulation.
But at that ti, the tribulation clouds in the sky above the island still lingered, so they did not dare to approach and could only watch from a distance.
Only after so ti did the tribulation clouds over the island gradually disperse, and the weather returned to being clear.
Seeing that the tribulation clouds had completely scattered and that the oppressive and fearso pressure of the heavens had vanished,
Lin Jing and the others finally returned to the island.
No sooner had they t than Yan Wanfei slapped his chest and said,
“I was scared to death just now, especially by that last thunderbolt, it was so sudden.”
“I thought we’d still have to wait a little longer for it to fall, but who knew it would co down so unexpectedly and without any signs.”
“It looked like Brother Jiu didn’t even have ti to react.”
Holaw Three Rivers nodded, still shaken, and said,
“ too…”
“That last thunderbolt was really too strange.”
Lin Jing also nodded in agreent.
“`
“Let’s go check on Brother Jiu…” Yan Wanfei followed up.
San He nodded and said,
“Keep it down later, don’t disturb him. He just went through a tribulation, and now is a critical ti.”
Yan Wanfei nodded repeatedly and said,
“Don’t worry, I know.”
Imdiately after.
The three of them walked together towards the center of the island.
Upon reaching the middle, they stopped at the edge of the deep pit ford by the lightning strikes and did not disturb Lu Youjiu inside.
After observing for a while and seeing that Lu Youjiu was not in any serious trouble and was still recovering,
San He took out an Array Plate and placed a few Spirit Stones on it.
The grand formation appeared instantly, enveloping Lu Youjiu at the bottom of the pit.
Then, a surge of Spiritual Power began to flood towards the Array Plate…
It turned out that this was a Spirit Gathering Array.
After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array.
San He then gestured to Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei to leave the area with him.
Once out, they stayed on the island, waiting for Lu Youjiu to awaken.
……
This wait lasted several days.
It wasn’t until a few days later that Lu Youjiu finally began to wake up gradually.
The mont Lu Youjiu opened his eyes, an imnse and terrifying Divine Sense pressure burst forth, appearing instantaneously.
This pressure appeared only for a mont before vanishing.
Afterwards, the group ca back to the edge of the pit.
By then, Lu Youjiu had already stood up.
Then, with a smile on his face, he looked at them and said,
“Nascent Soul Stage, I’ve succeeded…”
Yan Wanfei chuckled and said,
“Heh, heh…”
“Congratulations, Brother Jiu, impressive as always.”
Lin Jing also spoke up at this point,
“Congratulations, Brother Lu, on successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.”
San He smiled as he looked towards Lu Youjiu in the pit.
Following that.
Lu Youjiu waved his hand, and before everyone could react, he had already changed into a set of clean clothes.
And they were white.
Ever since Lin Jing had t him, he had always worn white.
He had never worn clothes of any other color, as if Lu Youjiu had a special preference for this white attire.
Then, with a flicker, he suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
“Now that I have successfully reached the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s ti for us to settle the score with that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
“Only I’m not sure how much his cultivation has recovered by now.”
“Do you have any news of him?”
After speaking, Lu Youjiu looked towards Lin Jing and the others.
Yan Wanfei then said,
“I know so…”
“A few months ago, Zhang Jian told a bit about the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.”
“Moreover, it seems that not only has he not recovered, but his injuries have beco even more severe.”
Yan Wanfei then relayed the information he received from Zhang Jian about Dai Mao to Lu Youjiu.
After hearing this, Lu Youjiu furrowed his brows in deep thought for a mont.
Then he said, “It’s been so long, and yet he hasn’t even recovered from his injuries, which seems rather unlikely.”
“Let’s head back now and then try to find out more.”
“After the investigation, we’ll make preparations and set off to eliminate this threat.”
“Okay…”
Everyone responded.
After returning to Li Yan Island, Lu Youjiu imdiately began to investigate.
San He too was making preparations.
After all, this ti, they planned to eradicate the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch once and for all,
and they couldn’t allow him to escape.
Therefore, the formations of San He were crucial.
anwhile, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei were relatively free with less to do.
A few days later, Lu Youjiu returned from Bihai City.
He also brought back so intelligence on the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch from the Seven Seas Hall.
It must be said, the Seven Seas Hall was indeed powerful;
even their intelligence capabilities were unmatched.
But this was to be expected.
With so many pact cultivators at their disposal, obtaining intelligence was surely an easy task.
One only had to issue a mission, and countless pact cultivators would help complete it.
Moreover, the Seven Seas Hall also consciously collected various intelligence on their own.
Even if soone had special information, they could submit it to the Seven Seas Hall, which would analyze and verify it. Once confird as accurate, they would reward the cultivator who provided the intelligence handsoly.
However, such a model did not put the Seven Seas Hall at a loss.
Because there would always be those who needed such intelligence.
Take Lu Youjiu, for instance,
he had purchased the intelligence about Dai Mao’s whereabouts through the Seven Seas Hall.
He even posted a mission at the Hall to learn a bit about the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch’s deeds.
Upon Lu Youjiu’s return, he imdiately gathered everyone,
and when they arrived, he shared the intelligence he’d gathered:
“This is the intelligence obtained from the Seven Seas Hall, take a look.”
As he spoke, Lu Youjiu took out the intelligence he had acquired from the Seven Seas Hall.
Upon seeing the intelligence, Lin Jing and the others imdiately crowded around.
