After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 841 Thunder Tribulation: Turning Back to Strike, Chen Yang is Struck by Lightning!
Rumble!
The door slowly closed.

Chen Yang followed Xuan Jing to the side hall, where the two used their spiritual power to keep a close eye on the situation inside the Thunder God Hall.

Now, as Xuanjing said, they have done all they can. Now, it's up to Huang Daolin to decide.

Although his acupoints were sealed and he was in a dying state, he was still conscious, just unable to communicate with the outside world. After taking the Jiaoli medicine, he was able to use his energy to cultivate on his own.

The side hall was eerily quiet.

Chen Yang's feelings were very complicated. He was wondering whether he should call Huang Ying and tell her to come over.

But it doesn't seem to have reached that point yet, so let's wait and see.

Xuan Jing patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, good people are always protected by heaven!"

Chen Yang nodded slightly, his mood still heavy.

What if something happens to my uncle? I'd feel so guilty! How could I explain it to Huang Ying and the others?
There are many things that he can't help but think about.

Chen Yang took a deep breath and bowed before the Buddha statue.

Xuan Jing found it somewhat amusing, but did not disturb him.

Cramming at the last minute may be a bit too late, but at least it provides some psychological comfort.

In just a short while, Chen Yang probably prayed to every god and Buddha in the heavens.

Looking back at Xuan Jing, Chen Yang thought of a question.

"Master, doesn't the nail-head technique require birth date and time? How did Uncle know Ding Huanchun's birth date and time?"

Chen Yang hadn't had time to think about it much before, but now he realized this was a problem.

Although he didn't understand the nail-head technique, he had heard that this kind of technique required knowing the other party's exact birth date and time for it to be effective.

A person like Ding Huanchun must have kept his birth date and time very secret; otherwise, with so many enemies, he would probably have been killed by forbidden techniques long ago.

So, how did the uncle know Ding Huanchun's birth date and time?
What could possibly be the connection between him and Ding Huanchun?
Was it given to you by Emei?

That's a possibility, after all, Ding Huanchun was once a disciple of Emei, and there might be records of him left in Emei.

However, the answer is probably only known to Hyun Jing.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jing shook her head. "Why don't you ask your uncle yourself when he wakes up?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

If it was given by Emei, Xuanjing wouldn't have answered him like that. Could there be some other story behind this?
Xuan Jing said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Go to Baoguo Temple later and have Yuanlong take you to Fuhu Temple to retrieve the Universal Salvation Banner and the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi. If he cannot complete the breakthrough before dawn tomorrow, we will have to consider taking over his divine sense. Before he dies, we should prepare for the worst and make him switch to the Path of the Primordial Spirit!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang's heart sank.

This is the worst possible outcome.

Chen Yang nodded, then took out the oil lamp he had obtained from Shan Jun Tan Jue. "Master, do you think this thing will be useful?"

Xuan Jing took the oil lamp and examined it, and could naturally tell that it was a magic artifact of considerable quality.

"The Longevity Lamp should have come from the Longevity Temple on Mount Er'e. Where did you get it from?"

Baoguo Temple contains a lot of information and materials about various temples and monasteries in Emei. Although these are from a thousand years ago, Xuanjing still recognized the origin of this lamp.

Chen Yang explained the origin of the lamp.

Hyun Jung also sighed.

He had been to the bottomless cave in Longmen Mountain, and he also knew about Tan Jue's story.

All I can say is, what is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?

It is truly admirable that a dignified mountain king would willingly become a demon for the sake of a woman.

While we may feel sentimental, Tan Jue's matter is in the past and not the focus now. The focus now is on leaving a way out for Huang Daolin.

Xuanjing said, "Let's keep it as a backup. This lamp needs to be kept burning to accommodate divine thoughts and primordial spirits. Not only does it consume oil, but we also have to watch over it at all times to prevent it from going out. It's not the first choice!"

Chen Yang thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Although this lamp can house divine consciousness and primordial spirit for a long time, once the flame is lit, it cannot be extinguished. The reason why Tan Jue was able to keep the flame burning for hundreds of years was because there was no wind in the underground cave, and because he used his Celestial Realm physical body as lamp oil.

If there are other options for accommodation, this lamp is certainly not the first choice.

Chen Yang dared not delay any longer, as his uncle might encounter an emergency at any time.

He left the oil lamp behind and hurriedly left Tianhua Temple to go down the mountain to get the ritual implements from Yuanlong.

He was worried that something might go wrong if someone else delivered it, and he didn't trust them to do so.

……

It was past 3 p.m. when we came out of Fuhu Temple.

The Universal Salvation Banner and the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi are considered the most treasured secrets of Fuhu Temple. They are not easily shown to others, let alone lent out.

With Yuanlong by their side and the decree of the Venerable Xuanjing, everything went smoothly, and the two treasures were retrieved quickly.

Both of these treasures can contain and nurture divine consciousness. The reason they were taken together was simply to increase the success rate of transitioning to the primordial spirit path when the time comes.

When a person experiences the five signs of decay and death, it is not guaranteed that they can retain their divine consciousness with 100% success.

After all, the physical body undergoes the five signs of decay, and the divine spirit and primordial spirit will also decay and perish. External help is needed to prevent their decay.

Chen Yang had already thought it through. If the situation really got that bad, as long as he could leave behind his uncle's divine consciousness, he would give him the "Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture." He also had some Heavenly Pearls, which should be enough for him to condense his primordial spirit.

……

As he pondered this, Chen Yang headed towards Leidongping.

The scenic area was already closed, and there were few tourists on the road. Chen Yang used his lightness skill to run like the wind.

"Boom!"

Just as Chen Yang arrived near Wannian Temple, he suddenly heard a muffled clap of thunder in the sky.

My heart skipped a beat.

They quickly stopped and looked out over the mountain.

Dark clouds surged up from the horizon, like waves, rapidly converging towards Mount Da'e.

Thunder rumbled, a bolt from the blue.

In just a few breaths, thunderclouds had already arrived above Mount Da'e.

Almost instantly, the clear blue sky turned into a blanket of dark clouds.

"call……"

A sudden gust of wind arose, causing the trees in the surrounding mountains and forests to sway back and forth, with branches and leaves flying everywhere.

"Is this... done?"

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized something. He immediately ran towards Leidongping.

The clouds grew thicker and thicker until it was pitch black.

The strong wind made Chen Yang's clothes rustle loudly, and he looked like he was about to be swept up.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Dao Zhentian tribulation.

It seems my uncle has succeeded.

Chen Yang felt the powerful might of heaven; the extreme oppression was something only cultivators could clearly perceive.

Moreover, the higher a person's cultivation level, the more pronounced their perception becomes.

"boom!"

With a thunderclap, the pitch-black sky seemed to be torn open, and the world was briefly illuminated.

The next second, a torrential downpour began.

Crash.

Chen Yang was soaked by the rain almost instantly.

His figure moved swiftly along the mountain road, using his lightness skill to walk in a straight line.

In just a few minutes, Chen Yang had arrived at Leidongping.

At this moment, Xuan Jing had already left the side hall and arrived at the observation platform, which was more than 200 meters away from the Thunder God Hall.

On the observation platform, only Xuanjing was present.

"Grandmaster."

Chen Yang ran over like a drowned rat.

Xuan Jing nodded slightly, giving Chen Yang a reassuring look, indicating that he should find a seat himself.

Chen Yang wiped the rain off his clothes. All around him was the sound of pouring rain, so heavy it sounded like the sky was leaking.

The sky would light up intermittently, as if the heavens were constantly pressing the shutter of a camera.

The wind howled, mixing with the rain, and lashed against my body, making me feel cold and chilly.

Xuan Jing looked at the sky, then at the direction of the main hall, her expression extremely solemn.

Although he had already experienced the Dao True Tribulation, experiencing it again now, even though the tribulation wasn't specifically targeting him, still stirred up waves in his heart. That awe of the might of heaven was innate and ingrained in his very bones.

"Master, Uncle must have broken through, right?" Although the tribulation had already arrived, Chen Yang still asked.

Xuan Jing nodded slightly. "You'd better avoid it."

"avoid?"

Chen Yang was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this, "Why should I avoid it?"

Xuanjing said, "This is the Dao True Tribulation. Your cultivation level is not high enough. Observing it too early may affect your mind..."

What he said was not empty talk, but the truth.

If one's spiritual level is insufficient, observing a tribulation lightning can easily shake one's mind and spirit.

For example, on the day Chen Yang underwent his tribulation, those who came to observe were mostly at the Creation Realm; those below the Creation Realm rarely came.

The power of heaven and earth, the force of nature, is truly awe-inspiring. Some people, lacking the mental fortitude to withstand it, may be terrified, which could severely impact their Dao heart, making them hesitant to attempt further breakthroughs for fear of attracting a lightning tribulation that would strike them dead. Of course, there are also those with strong minds who, upon witnessing the tribulation beforehand, are not only unfazed but also filled with excitement, eager to experience it firsthand, thus strengthening their Dao heart.

People are different, and in this situation, few people would take the risk.

For example, today, with the Dao True Thunder Tribulation upon us, there probably aren't many who dare to come and witness it. At least until now, apart from Chen Yang and Xuan Jing, no third person has arrived.

"Don't worry, it's not like I haven't seen the Dao True Lightning Tribulation before."

Chen Yang looked up at the sky that shimmered in the darkness, his face filled with excitement.

Clearly, he's the kind of person who gets stronger with each setback.

He had indeed encountered the tribulation of the Dao True Realm before.

Back in Huangjia Village, Chen Antai's soul had already been subjected to the Dao True Thunder Tribulation, and he had even indirectly helped him overcome it, but unfortunately, he failed.

In addition, Li Changsheng also experienced the Dao True Thunder Tribulation at Qishan.

Is it scary? Of course it is.

But having already experienced it, it's impossible to scare him.

Moreover, it is my uncle who is undergoing tribulation now, so even if I am afraid, I have to stay here and guard him.

Xuan Jing shook her head at his fearless attitude, "Your body is still filled with calamity energy. If the calamity lightning senses it, it might strike you. If I were you, I would do my best to find a low-lying place to hide."

Finally, he added, "It doesn't matter if I get hit, the important thing is not to implicate me, the monk..."

sweat!
Is it a calamity?
Chen Yang paused upon hearing this. He looked up into the darkness and pointed in the direction of Lei Dongting Pavilion. "Then I should go there?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jing's face twitched involuntarily.

The Thunder Cave Pavilion was destroyed once when Chen Yang underwent his tribulation here last time, and it has only just been rebuilt.

However, it seems that besides the Temple of Thunder God, only the Thunder Cave Pavilion in the vicinity can withstand lightning strikes.

The tribulation energy on this kid is indeed a problem. Although it has been sealed for the time being, it is hard to guarantee that the tribulation lightning will sense it. Even if only one bolt of lightning is given to him, it will be enough to give him a hard time.

Xuan Jing nodded slightly in agreement, "Go, conceal your aura, and stay in the pavilion until the tribulation is over. Don't wander around."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang shoved the Universal Salvation Banner and the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi into Xuan Jing's arms, then broke through Yu Mu's grasp and sped towards Lei Dongting.

This kid...

Xuan Jing shook her head, ignoring him, and then looked up at the sky.

"boom!"

A deafening thunderclap followed, and a massive bolt of lightning suddenly tore through space without warning, falling from the sky and striking the Temple of Thunder.

"Zizzizi..."

The palace was tempered by thunder and fire.

Large amounts of lightning tribulation liquid splashed out on the roof, bursting open like molten iron, sparks flying everywhere.

Chen Yang had just run into Lei Dongting when he was startled by the sudden clap of thunder and almost slipped.

Turning his head, he saw the extraordinary sight of the Thunder God Temple. The lightning tribulation liquid on the roof poured down like a waterfall, accompanied by terrifying sounds. The earth shook and the heavens were filled with immense power. Chen Yang felt his heart trembling wildly.

Plop, plop...

My heart was beating even faster than when I was going through my tribulation last time.

He probed the Thunder God Temple with his mental energy. The presence of a large amount of lightning energy had altered the magnetic field around the temple, making it impossible for his mental energy to detect the specific situation inside.

The radar can detect some outlines, but the outlines are still somewhat distorted under the influence of the magnetic field.

Uncle should be able to handle it.

With such powerful spirit mediumship techniques, and given that Chen Yang entrusted him with the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Token, he shouldn't be unable to survive this ordeal.

You should know that Uncle was a formidable figure who dared to withstand heavenly lightning with his bare body when breaking through to the Creation Realm.

Chen Yang forced down his worries and watched silently.

This True Realm tribulation is indeed much more powerful than the Creation Realm tribulation.

The momentum was earth-shattering. Chen Yang, who considered himself a man who had seen his share of storms, was also intimidated by the might of the heavens and stood in the pavilion, not daring to move an inch.

This Thunder Cave Pavilion was built for Emei disciples to undergo the Tribulation of Creation. It can certainly withstand the Tribulation of Creation without any problem, but it is unknown whether it can withstand even a single strike of the Tribulation of Dao.

"boom……"

"boom……"

……

Thunderbolts struck intermittently, each one more violent than the last.

He summoned the Thunderfire Eagle, but the Thunderfire Eagle hid in the pavilion and dared not fly into the sky.

Although it has a strong affinity for lightning and fire energies, making it difficult for these two energies to harm it, it doesn't mean they can't harm it.

On that day at Goose Back Mountain, a single bolt of heavenly tribulation lightning nearly killed it.

This tribulation lightning of the True Realm was still a bit too much for it. It wasn't stupid; it knew when it could take the hit and when it couldn't.

Even the Thunderfire Eagle was so afraid, so Chen Yang naturally understood the power of the tribulation lightning. He put the Thunderfire Eagle back into the system pet space and tried his best to conceal his aura.

His Yintang acupoint was a little restless. He could sense that the calamity energy sealed within it was becoming more active and had a tendency to break free of the seal.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy. If such terrifying tribulation lightning were to escape, he would probably be struck by lightning.

He did want to draw some of the fire away from Huang Daolin, but he wasn't sure he could withstand such a powerful tribulation lightning.

"boom."

"boom."

……

The lightning continued for an unknown period of time, striking down countless times, from 4 PM until 8 PM.

As the last bolt of tribulation lightning struck, the heavenly might gradually dissipated, and the thick, inky tribulation clouds also dispersed.

Thunder rumbled in the clouds, like a pack of ferocious beasts receding with the tide.

Is it over?

ended.

Feeling the weakening of the heavenly power, Chen Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

If it doesn't end soon, he'll almost lose control of the calamity energy within him.

On the Thunder God Temple side, the entire hall was tempered by the tribulation lightning and turned bright red. Stimulated by the rain, it formed a large mist that enveloped the entire hall.

An aura emanated from the Thunder God Temple, which Chen Yang sensed from afar.

Uncle has made a breakthrough.

At that moment, Chen Yang couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

He had already seen Xuan Jing come down from the Observation Platform and head towards the Thunder God Temple, so he hurriedly wanted to go to the Thunder God Temple as well.

"Be careful."

At this moment, the Five Thunder Immortal suddenly reminded him.

Chen Yang had already stepped out of Lei Dongting with his left foot, but almost subconsciously pulled it back.

"boom!"

Just then, a thunderclap rang out in the sky, as if the mountain had exploded, and a bolt of lightning, like a long whip wielded by a god, fell from the clouds and struck straight at Leidong Pavilion.

Boom.

Chen Yang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, almost vomiting blood from the shock. He instantly lost his hearing and was completely stunned.

Lei Dongting quickly diverted the lightning, but a powerful current still passed through the lightning rod above the pavilion and struck Chen Yang directly inside.

Chen Yang lost consciousness for a moment, and his clothes instantly ripped apart, leaving him only wearing a silk vest.

My skin is all charred.

But I didn't feel any pain.

The Gu family's unique elixir was quite effective; since the pain receptors were blocked, he didn't feel any pain at all.

If you can't feel the pain, you can't understand your injury in time.

Chen Yang disregarded everything else and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his thunder magic to guide the raging tribulation lightning within his body in an attempt to cultivate his thunder meridians.

However, this lightning energy was far too powerful, and some of it went directly towards the spiritual platform.

"boom!"

Chen Yang felt as if a muffled thunderclap had sounded in his mind.

The seal on the Yintang acupoint was finally broken, and the calamity energy surged out instantly.

Oops.

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

He had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't anticipated that fate would turn around and throw him in the lurch.

If he had taken that step just now, and been struck directly by that lightning, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

But now, with the calamity's energy overflowing, won't the heavenly lightning still be targeting him?

Inside Chen Yang's body, something unexpected happened: the raging heavenly lightning energy and the calamity energy collided.

The tribulation lightning, carrying with it tribulation energy, actually rushed towards the gate of the spiritual platform.

"what?"

Chen Yang was startled. He knew that the Lingtai was where spiritual power was stored and where the primordial spirit resided. It was easily damaged by tribulation lightning, and one's consciousness might even be shattered.

He quickly sealed the gate to his spiritual platform, but some tribulation lightning energy still managed to rush in.
