I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 469 The Coffin (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As soon as Jiang Yi controlled the dazed Foundation Establishment cultivator to enter the underground, the connection between the golden needle and the red thread was severed. This meant that the entrance was not a direct route into the underground of the Lightning Tower, but rather, like the entrance to a secret realm, there was a spatial barrier.

As Jiang Yi was planning what to do next,
Click!

Another bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck the top of the lightning tower.

The blinding white light once again engulfed the entire world. Jiang Yi had already protected her sea of ​​consciousness with the help of Hua Gu's ice spiritual energy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she used the Phantom Escape technique to flash into the underground and immediately hid in a corner.

The connection between the golden needle and the red thread has been restored!
As the violent lightning and impact subsided, Master Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around abruptly, his hawk-like gaze sweeping over the surroundings with the powerful divine sense of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Finding nothing, Master Yu frowned slightly and gestured for the other two to follow him inside.

After entering the bottom of the tower, Master Yu sealed off the entrance and exit, making it impossible to detect any flaws from the outside.

Jiang Yi herself stayed at the entrance just in case. Before coming in, she had already used the Sword Nurturing Gourd to contact Zhenshan and Duanjin to assist Shen Puning and the others, and informed them that she was at the Lightning-Attracting Tower.

If there are any uncontrollable changes inside, she will immediately give up capturing the Thunder Vine and retreat first.

Jiang Yi continued to use the golden needle and red thread to control the young man to follow behind the others. The tunnel in front of them was not very long. After extending diagonally downwards for hundreds of steps, they arrived at a huge underground space.

Upon entering, a dense aura of death mixed with a chilling, resentful energy that sent shivers down one's spine.

The air here is thick and sticky; every breath feels like inhaling cold, filthy liquid. Divine consciousness is also strongly suppressed here, becoming sluggish and blurred.

Jiang Yi looked at a tomb chamber that was quite large and surrounded by layers of array formations and restrictions. The stone walls were covered with ancient runes that had faded but still exuded a fierce aura.

"They are all runes and formations for suppressing and dispelling evil."

The voice that pierced his heart appeared directly in Jiang's sea of ​​consciousness. He was knowledgeable and could directly identify the ancient runes and formations.

Jiang Yi silently communicated with Zhu Xin, "It seems that the lightning-attracting tower outside is probably not only for the ancient sect to gather lightning for cultivation, but also exists to suppress something below. It's truly a grand undertaking. But after so many years of being struck, not only has the thing below not been destroyed, but it can also leak such a strong aura of deathly resentment? Strange!"

Jiang Yi's heart sank. Without needing to say anything more, she felt a strong sense of crisis.

She continued to control the young monk, following the crowd deeper into the core of the tomb.

Surprisingly, the journey was unimpeded, and even the mechanisms and formations that should have been in the tomb were not activated. This tranquility was even more unsettling.

Upon reaching the center of the tomb chamber, a strong stench of blood assaulted their senses, causing the Foundation Establishment cultivators leading the way to cover their mouths and noses, their brows furrowed.

A huge pool of blood was bubbling and churning, as if blood was continuously gushing out from underground. In the center of the pool stood a huge, pitch-black stone coffin.

The surface of the stone coffin was covered with dark red, tree-like blood vessels that seemed to writhe and bulge as if they were alive, densely wrapping around the body of the coffin and converging upwards.

The top of the stone coffin was broken open, and a small tree with a dark, almost black color grew out of it, growing straight upwards!
There were no leaves on the tree, only sprawling branches, with a single, fist-sized fruit hanging forlornly on one of them.

The fruit was a clear, translucent blue color, radiating an extremely pure spiritual light, creating an eerie contrast with the surrounding filthy, desolate, and resentful environment.

Eight thick, dark iron chains bound the stone coffin tightly like shackles, the other ends of the chains deeply embedded in the tomb's dome and walls. Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, piercing through the mountains, the earth, and the space itself. The dome of the tomb suddenly lit up with intricate magic array patterns, and the power of the heavenly lightning surged down along the eight black iron chains, instantly flowing throughout the entire stone coffin.

Blinding electric light exploded on the stone coffin, causing the dark red veins wrapped around it to contract and curl violently.

However, the green spiritual fruit became even brighter when it came into contact with the transmitted lightning power.

Zhu Xin had already recognized the tree and the fruit, and immediately explained it to Jiang Yi.

"That is a rare fruit that was rarely seen even in ancient times. The tree is called the Pure Calamity Thunder Sound Tree, and the fruit it bears is called the Pure Calamity Fruit. If you eat this fruit, you will definitely succeed in breaking through a minor realm. Even if you break through a major realm, you can achieve a success rate of 40% to 50%."

"This tree has very demanding growing conditions. Its roots need to absorb the most yin and filth, such as death energy and resentment, and transform them into pure spiritual energy through its branches and trunks, eventually condensing into fruit. For the fruit to ripen, it needs to be continuously tempered by the power of heavenly lightning. Once the fruit is ripe, it must be consumed within a quarter of an hour."

At this moment, several people by the blood pool suddenly started arguing.

"What...what kind of place is this? Yu Kun! You've tricked me!"

The burly man with the bushy beard didn't recognize the Pure Calamity Fruit. He only stared at the strange blood pool coffin, feeling the chilling, heavy death aura, and the terrifying existence temporarily suppressed by the lightning. His eyes widened, and his face no longer showed any of the excitement and anticipation from before, only deep fear and anger.

"This is hardly some ancient immortal's legacy. The thing in the coffin has been suppressed by the Lightning-Attracting Tower for thousands of years without any effect. If you and I were to touch it today, we'd probably both become sacrifices! I'm not getting involved in this mess! The compensation you promised us will be settled after we get out! Farewell!"

The black-robed cultivator's face was also deathly pale, his eyes filled with vigilance and a desire to retreat.

He was already more cautious than the burly man with the bushy beard, and now he was even more decisive, his hand already on his storage bag, ready to activate his life-saving item at any moment.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Qiu is absolutely right. The dangers here far exceed our expectations, and it is not something we can afford to tamper with. Please forgive us for not being able to accompany you further. We will take our leave now!"

After saying this, the two men were about to call their respective subordinates to leave.

"Now that we're here, nobody's leaving!"

Master Yu's expression suddenly changed, and a terrifying pressure far exceeding that before erupted from his body without reservation!
The oppressive force was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, instantly engulfing the entire tomb chamber.

The thick, deathly, and resentful aura in the air seemed to be dispelled by this immense power.

The burly man with the bushy beard and the black-robed cultivator were the first to be hit. Their expressions changed drastically, and their bodies swayed uncontrollably, their protective spiritual light flickering violently!
"Golden Core...Peak?! You...you've been hiding your cultivation all this time?!"

The burly man with the bushy beard nearly popped his eyes out, the black-robed cultivator was deathly pale, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators were practically dead, all knocked to the ground by the pressure of the peak Golden Core cultivators, unable to even get up.

Master Yu's venomous gaze swept over the two who were preparing to flee, his voice icy and chilling.

"Do you know how much effort I've put into this 'Purifying Fruit'? Once the fruit ripens, I'll eat it and break through the Golden Core level limit, instantly transforming my core into an Infant! My lifespan is almost over, and this is my only way out! Today, I will offer your flesh, blood, and souls as a sacrifice to pave the way for my Infant Formation!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the air inside the tomb suddenly froze, and a battle was about to break out!
　see you tomorrow!
