Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 274: Foundation Building Thunder Tribulation
The silver-robed elder chuckled, “After I leave, others will maintain contact with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. As for the little girl that Lord Xiao Yan mentioned, I need to ask the Palace Master first.”

"When I return next time, I will give you a definite answer."

Xiao Yan nodded. He had already communicated with Lin Yu's main body in the group, and the latter's idea was to let the clone take the lead.

Furthermore, since Xiao Yan did not intend to send Qing Lin over so soon, he asked the silver-robed elder to inquire about the Palace Master's opinion.

Of course, the silver-robed elder was merely a messenger on the surface. In fact, as soon as Su Haoming and the others arrived at the Divine Firmament Palace, they could immediately relay Lin Yu's battle qi clone's opinion.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the silver-robed elder waved his hand and said:
"In that case, let's set off!"

……

……

After seeing off his second brother and Su Haoming and the others, Xiao Yan returned to his residence and began to attend to his own affairs.

His first task was to devour the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and evolve the Burning Technique to at least the Profound Rank.

Although he has already devoured two kinds of flames, both of them are beast-level flames. This is the first time he has tried to devour a true strange flame.

To ensure his safety, he swallowed various pills that protected his body and meridians, and also swallowed several additional Holy Flame Pills to ensure that the Holy Flame within his body was strong enough before finally beginning to devour the strange fire.

This process lasted a full day.

Even as the sun rose the next day, Xiao Yan was still sitting cross-legged in the quiet room that his elder brother had specially prepared for him.

A rich cyan light enveloped his body, seeping into him like flowing water.

Before long, the azure light completely faded, and Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. His originally dark eyes were now covered with a faint layer of azure flames!

"Finally it worked!"

Xiao Yan stretched his slightly stiff body, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his handsome face.

In the original story, he was only a Battle Master when he devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Even with the help of various pills, the process of devouring it was extremely dangerous, and he almost lost half his life.

But now, his strength far surpasses that of a Battle Master, and he also possesses the Holy Flame within his body that can heal injuries.

With multiple layers of protection, the fierce strange fire became gentle and could not pose any danger to him at all.

Elder Yao asked impatiently, "How far has the Burning Technique evolved?"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then exclaimed with great joy, "High-level Profound Rank!"

"High-level Xuan rank?"

The old apothecary asked in surprise, "You actually advanced by an entire major rank?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "When I absorbed the Holy Flame before, the Burning Technique was already a quasi-Profound Rank technique, only a thin membrane away from the low-level Profound Rank."

"If you really want to count, it should be two and a half minor steps!"

In the original work, after he devoured the Purple Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, his Burning Technique evolved to the intermediate level of the Profound Rank.

Comparatively speaking, the evolution level brought about by devouring the Holy Flame is that it has increased from intermediate to advanced.

"As expected of the flame created by Brother Lin, the improvement is indeed significant."

"Unfortunately, the more the Burning Technique evolves, the more powerful the flames it requires."

"I wonder if absorbing the remaining Azure Flame and Heart Flame will allow me to push the Burning Technique to the Earth Rank..."

As Xiao Yan thought this, he turned his gaze to the Dou Crystal within his body.

In the world of Doupo, a powerful expert at the Great Dou Master level will have their Dou Qi transform from a liquid state to a solid state, forming an irregular rhomboid crystal, also known as a Dou Crystal.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's Dou Crystal had changed from purple to cyan.

Although its shape is still somewhat irregular, it has become noticeably rounder.

Xiao Yan knew that when his Dou Crystal underwent a complete transformation and took on a shape similar to a sea urchin, he would be able to advance to the Dou Ling level.

"A battle of spirits?"

Xiao Yan's eyes shone brightly, and his Dou Qi condensed and rose throughout his body, exuding the aura of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master.

Sensing his current level, the old doctor couldn't help but smile and said with satisfaction, "With the help of the strange fire to temper you, your foundation is more profound than I imagined. After a while, once your level is completely stabilized, you can try to take the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and directly raise your level to the peak of the Great Dou Master!"

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's what I think too!"

Moreover, with his current physical strength, coupled with the healing power of the Holy Flame, once he advances to the Dou Ling realm, he can directly bathe in the Marrow Cleansing Elixir refined by Lin Yu, increasing his cultivation speed to more than ten times its original speed.

It can be said that once he reaches the Dou Ling level, his cultivation speed will experience a qualitative leap.

In the future, the time spent in the Spirit Battle stage might be even shorter than that of a Great Battle Master!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but show anticipation.

However, he still has some things to take care of right now, so it's not appropriate for him to continue burying himself in his studies.

Putting everything else aside, in this Stone Desert City alone, there is an old man living alone, eagerly awaiting his Tribulation-Breaking Pill...

After stabilizing his cultivation level, Xiao Yan left the meditation room, woke up Qing Lin who was sleeping outside, teased her for a couple of minutes, and then asked the blushing girl to take him to find the two distinguished guests of the mercenary group.

Unfortunately, neither Lin Lie nor He Jingfeng were with the mercenary group at the time.

According to Qinglin, these two seem to have become obsessed with hunting magical beasts, and they often select experienced guides from mercenary groups to lead them to the desert outside the city in search of magical beasts...

They're looking for test subjects, aren't they?
Xiao Yan's lips twitched, knowing that this must have been He Jingfeng's idea.

He shook his head and decided to wait for the two to return before taking them to explore the depths of the desert.

…… ……

Meanwhile, in the Mulan Empire, thousands of miles away...

Towering peaks stand amidst the relatively flat valleys.

From afar, it looks like a colossal, solitary pillar of black iron rising straight into the sky!
The summit is perpetually shrouded in thunderclouds, with streaks of blue-white lightning constantly leaping between the clouds, occasionally striking down and being absorbed by the palace atop the peak.

Without a doubt, this mountain that was struck by lightning is the so-called Shenxiao Peak!

In fact, the original Mulan Valley did not have such a high peak. Even though the valley was surrounded by mountains, they were usually just small peaks with an elevation difference of no more than a thousand meters.

After Lin Yu took over Mulan Valley, he used his great power to transform the terrain, creating the Shenxiao Peak, which is ten thousand meters high, out of thin air.

In his words, the closer one is to the sky, the easier it is to attract lightning, and the more concentrated the lightning element will become.

The lightning-type cultivators within the sect deeply agreed with this, so they all moved to Shenxiao Peak to cultivate.

However, due to the rules specifically set by Lin Yu, the higher Shenxiao Peak is, the stronger the power of thunder will be.

Most lightning-type cultivators in the Thunder Pavilion can only stay in the middle section of the Divine Firmament Peak. Only those experts above the Dou Zong level can withstand the bombardment of lightning and step into the Divine Firmament Hall at the summit to meet Lin Yu.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning crashed down.

The richly dressed young man in the hall sighed and looked at the figure at the head of the palace, complaining, "Brother, it can't be that bad, can it? I know you don't look presentable right now."

"But to create this lightning-struck Shenxiao Peak just to prevent his disciples from seeing him, isn't that going too far?"

Following his gaze, one could see a handsome young man in a golden robe sitting on the high-backed chair at the head of the table.

He is called a teenager mainly because he has a rather mature demeanor. Judging from his appearance alone, he looks to be at most twelve or thirteen years old, not quite a teenager.

Upon hearing Yun Ye's words, the golden-robed youth, or rather Lin Yu's clone, raised an eyebrow, his small, delicate hand stroking the purple cat in his arms, and said meaningfully:

"What, you can't stand it after less than a day?"

"Brother, this palace is struck by lightning every now and then. Who could stand it?"

"I."

"..."

Yun Ye was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, although there are thunderclouds around here, the lightning strikes are not usually this frequent."

Yun Ye asked in confusion, "Then what's going on now...?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly, about to explain, when suddenly his expression changed, as if he had realized something and abruptly stood up.

Yun Ye quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"...A breakthrough is imminent!"

Lin Yu suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed intently on the outside of the hall.

Yun Ye was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could recover, he saw Lin Yu wave his hand, and streams of spatial power burst forth, enveloping the two people and the cat, and disappearing from the hall.

In an instant, the world before my eyes changed.

Yun Ye looked closely and realized that he seemed to have arrived above a palace.

This palace is located on the east side of Shenxiao Peak, very close to the summit, and is considered the second highest palace on the mountain.

Normally, Zi Hua would cultivate in this hall, but after Su Haoming and his companion arrived at the Divine Firmament Hall, Lin Yu vacated it and gave it to Su Haoming, who planned to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, a vast energy fluctuation emanated from the hall.

Waves of energy spread out, even attracting the thunderclouds on Shenxiao Peak, causing them to actively carve out a piece to form a small thundercloud above the palace.

Seeing this, Yun Ye looked surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"How is this going?"

"Foundation Establishment Tribulation!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

Yun Ye's eyes widened in astonishment. "Foundation Establishment cultivators also have tribulations?"

Lin Yu smiled and explained, "Originally, there wasn't one, but yesterday when you two asked me about Foundation Establishment, I discovered that the reason you couldn't fuse your magic power with your innate Qi was because your innate Qi was insufficient, and your life essence hadn't been improved."

"With this in mind, I deliberately imitated the art of alchemy and created a method of tribulation by lightning."

"Simply put, it's like refining an elixir, where you combine your magical power with your innate Qi into one, and then use the rules of the elixir to trigger a tribulation."

"When a person successfully withstands the tribulation lightning, their life essence will be enhanced under the influence of the power of heaven and earth, and their internal magical power and innate Qi will be completely integrated, ultimately leading to successful foundation building!"

Can it still be like this? !
Yun Ye was both surprised and delighted. No wonder the thunder on Shenxiao Peak had been continuous since last night.

It turned out that Su Haoming was secretly cultivating the method of lightning tribulation, which triggered the lightning on Shenxiao Peak.

Lin Yu looked at the thunderclouds and clicked his tongue, saying, "However, I'm not really confident about this kind of tribulation technique, so last night I just handed it over to Su Haoming with the idea of ​​trying it out."

"Unexpectedly, this guy is quite capable; in just half a day, he successfully triggered the lightning tribulation..."
