As the aura of the Spirit-grade Divine level concealnt array emanated, lightning tribulation began to descend from the sky once more, crackling with power.
Xu Ning gazed at the array, his eyes deep. "Once you've completed your tribulations, we'll leave as soon as possible. Three months of continuous tribulations might have already attracted unwanted attention. We've been here too long."
The thatched hut replied, "That's for sure. Besides, my spiritual energy will be completely depleted after this tribulation. You'll need to return to the cultivation world for a while to recharge. I'll be empty."
Xu Ning nodded. "Okay. I understand."
Xu Ning definitely wouldn't go to the Crimson Sea Mountains, and the Ancient Star Mountains were even more out of the question with the demon outbreak. So he could only go to the Azure Winter Mountains, where he had started. It was safer.

After the lightning tribulation ended, Xu Ning hurriedly went to check and found that the concealnt array was severely damaged. Of the twelve array flags, only three remained intact. The rest were destroyed.
Fortunately, Xu Ning had anticipated this possibility and quickly took out the array materials he had prepared beforehand to help restore it. He worked quickly.
After the repairs were completed, Xu Ning inquired about the changes that would occur after the concealnt array reached the Divine level.
After reaching the Divine level, the array would no longer be restricted by the array flags. Once set up, its formation pattern could be changed within a certain range.
In this way, the concealnt formation would no longer be limited to blocking only one direction. It could change its formation to form a complete circle, blocking the central lightning tribulation from all sides.
Then there was the concealnt effect itself. Even early-stage Golden Core cultivators wouldn't be able to detect it without using special investigative abilities. It was a major upgrade.
Besides its primary effect, the concealnt formation also added defensive and spirit-gathering auxiliary abilities. Though these couldn't compare to a specialized formation, they were better than nothing. Useful.
After setting up the repaired concealnt formation and changing its pattern, the defensive formation began its tribulation. It was ti.
Perhaps because of its primary defensive function, the defensive formation suffered minimal damage after the tribulation. It held up well.
Next, it was the thatched hut's turn to face the tribulation.
In the darkness, the ordinary-looking thatched hut stood quietly in the mountains. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating its simple exterior.
Rumble—
The lightning tribulation descended, striking the thatched hut, but it remained unhard, absorbing the blow.
Then, the lightning continued to fall, and the thatched hut began to show signs of damage as the strikes intensified.
By the seventeenth lightning tribulation, half of the thatched hut had been destroyed. It was barely holding on.
Then, the eighteenth and final lightning tribulation descended. The stored lightning energy inside the thatched hut suddenly erupted, forming a pillar of lightning to et the tribulation head-on.
Simultaneously, the terrifying spiritual energy accumulated within the hut over the years also erupted in a final defense.
Boom!—
The power of this final lightning tribulation was terrifying. The mont it struck, the entire ground beca a sea of lightning, blinding white.
The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire world, turning night into day.
The thatched hut struggled to survive amidst this sea of lightning, its last remnants fighting against the onslaught.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
After an unknown amount of ti, the lightning dissipated. The thunderclouds in the sky vanished, and only ruins remained of the original thatched hut. It was destroyed.
Soon, Xu Ning swiftly arrived at the site and quickly took out materials to repair the hut, working frantically.
After a long ti of careful reconstruction, the thatched hut was finally restored to its forr state, glowing faintly.
Xu Ning asked, "Thatched Hut, after reaching Divine Grade, what changes have occurred in its abilities? What can you do now?"
The thatched hut reported, "The internal space is now five thousand cubic ters, much larger. The speed at which spiritual energy accumulates is five tis faster than before. It also increases my offensive capabilities. An ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator shouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from . I'm combat-ready."
Xu Ning nodded, satisfied. "Not bad. That's a significant upgrade."
Then, Xu Ning raised his hand and put the thatched hut away into his storage. He then summoned the Yingying Monster and began feeding it the upgraded pigs.
As the Yingying Monster's true form was fully revealed, its wingspan was nearly a hundred ters wide, blotting out the sky. It was a majestic sight.
After feeding it the pigs, Xu Ning quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Reaching the edge of the area, Xu Ning began to wait, chatting with the thatched hut at the sa ti.
"Thatched Hut, once the spiritual energy in your inner space reaches a certain level, will you be able to condense spiritual liquid, or even form spirit stones? Like a natural spring?"
The thatched hut replied, "Of course, but it requires a long period of accumulation. It doesn't happen overnight."
Xu Ning asked, "What about when you reach the Yuan level? Will that speed it up?"
The thatched hut explained, "After reaching the Yuan level, the speed of accumulating spiritual energy is faster, which can speed up the condensation ti. At the sa ti, I can separate spaces to store spiritual energy or so special items. More versatility."
Xu Ning considered, "Then, if I store the spiritual energy contained in a spirit stone in a special space and then compress it, will I be able to get a new spirit stone? Can I replicate them?"
The thatched hut said, "You need to reach the legendary level of the Yuan level for that kind of compression. It's a higher tier."
Xu Ning sighed. "Okay, let's take it slow. One step at a ti."
The road to the invention of a spirit stone production machine was still long and arduous. He wasn't there yet.

As they were talking, Xu Ning suddenly noticed a noise from the side and subconsciously turned his head to look. He imdiately saw two figures rushing towards him through the forest.
"This way!" one of them said, leading the other.
Xu Ning looked closely and saw that they were two cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, who had actually co to the mortal realm. They must have sensed the tribulations.
At this mont, the two cultivators also noticed Xu Ning's presence and stopped in their tracks.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Xu Ning asked, frowning.
The two cultivators looked at Xu Ning. One of them narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why should we report to you about our actions? Who do you think you are?"
Compared to him, the other cultivator seed more composed, looking at Xu Ning and asking softly, "Young friend, why is there constant lightning here? What's happening?"
Xu Ning was currently concealing his cultivation level, so he looked like an ordinary mortal. They couldn't sense his power.
However, the aura that Xu Ning exuded from his calm deanor made the two cultivators feel strangely ashad. He was unafraid.
Xu Ning didn't hide anything and said softly, "My pet is undergoing tribulation. It's none of your concern."
"A pet undergoing tribulation? How is that possible? Even Foundation Establishnt cultivators don't have tribulations!" One of the cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, disbelieving.
"That's none of your business. Leave as soon as possible, or you'll die," Xu Ning's voice remained calm, but his words were extrely ruthless. A clear warning.
The two cultivators' eyes were filled with resentnt. They didn't believe Xu Ning's words. He looked like a mortal.
After hesitating for a mont, one of the cultivators spoke up, his voice hard. "We are cultivators from the Three Platforms Sect. We'll just go in and take a look, then co back. If you try to stop us, don't bla us for being impolite. Stand aside."
Xu Ning calmly looked at the two n, refusing to waste any more words. His cultivation at the twelfth level of Qi Refining suddenly erupted, revealing his true power.
Armor instantly appeared on his body, and a long axe materialized in his hand, gleaming.
Imdiately afterward, terrifying blood energy emanated from him, enveloping his entire body in a crimson aura.
In just an instant, Xu Ning transford from a scholar into a demon-like being, radiating killing intent.
Unbeknownst to them, dark clouds gathered in the sky above, and a fine rain began to fall silently, unnoticed.
Upon seeing this, the two cultivators imdiately realized sothing was wrong, but it seed too late. The fine rain suddenly beca sharp, and began to frantically cut their bodies like blades.
"Not good!" One of the cultivators was the first to realize the danger and hurriedly used his spiritual power to resist the sharp rain, creating a barrier.
The other cultivator reacted a little slower, and his body was instantly cut with countless wounds, blood spraying.
At that mont, Xu Ning also moved, instantly transforming into a bolt of lightning and rushing towards the two with his axe raised.
Simultaneously, the drizzle suddenly condensed into a gigantic rain sword, stabbing down on the two along with Xu Ning's charge.
The two cultivators panicked upon seeing this, hastily using all their cultivation and various life-saving trump cards to defend themselves. They threw up barriers.
Boom!—
As Xu Ning's long axe slamd down, the two cultivators were directly crushed by an extrely powerful spiritual force, their defenses shattered.
