Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Lightning flashed above, and the seventh beam was already gathering.

The desolate island beneath Lu Qingxuan's feet had long since vanished, leaving only devastation in its wake.

hum!

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap sounded from above. Lu Qingxuan looked up and saw a streak of azure lightning flying out from the tribulation clouds.

The thunder carried a vibrant energy, like spring rain nourishing all things, silently and without warning.

"It's actually the Life-Creating Thunder..." Golden Horn's expression changed slightly.

This kind of tribulation lightning is the most vicious. It does not harm people, but nourishes them. However, if the nourishment is excessive, it will lead to death.

Silver Horn asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"

Golden Horn shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. This kind of tribulation lightning is extremely strange, and it's beyond our ability to intervene."

If the Dao Ancestor were here, perhaps there would be a way, but with the strength of the two of them, their intervention would only be a hindrance.

On the other side, Lu Qingxuan was also amazed as he watched the falling tribulation lightning. The appearance of such tribulation lightning in the Golden Immortal Tribulation could not be explained by his profound Dao foundation. It was clearly the Heavenly Dao targeting him.

However, the Dao Fruit of Longevity is right in front of us. If we can overcome it, the Three Flowers will gather at the top of the head; if we can't, the Three Flowers will wither away!

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath and stopped trying to stop him.

He knew that with such tribulation lightning appearing, magical treasures would be useless; he could only endure it.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qingxuan was engulfed by the Life-Creating Lightning.

The magical barrier surrounding him rapidly dissipated, in one breath, two breaths...

After a full incense stick's time had passed, the power of the heavenly tribulation continued to be unleashed, and the lightning illuminated the sky for hundreds of miles around, turning it blue.

Cultivators had already discovered that someone was undergoing tribulation here.

The reason they didn't get close was twofold: firstly, they were afraid of being accidentally injured, and secondly, they were startled by the aura emanating from the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

"It's actually the Lightning of Life Creation..."

Just then, a white cloud suddenly drifted in from the horizon.

A figure stood on the cloud, dressed in a coarse monk's robe, with a gourd tied around his waist. He was barefoot, and the soles of his feet were covered in mud. He looked unkempt, yet he possessed an indescribable air of otherworldly grace.

It was none other than the renowned Barefoot Immortal.

He had only passed through the East Sea today to visit a friend, but he sensed the fluctuations of the heavenly tribulation from afar and came to see it out of curiosity.

However, upon seeing it, he was stunned.

On the deserted island below, a young Taoist priest sat cross-legged, battling against a bolt of azure lightning.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years and witnessed countless cultivators undergoing tribulations, but among those undergoing the Golden Immortal tribulation, only a handful could attract the Life-Creating Lightning.

"The Tribulation of the Golden Immortal... can actually attract the Lightning of Creation?" The Barefoot Immortal muttered to himself, his tone tinged with surprise.

He stroked his beard, examined it carefully for a moment, and the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into approval.

He sensed a strong incense offering and vow power on Lu Qingxuan. With a solid Dao foundation and such a strong incense offering and vow power, it was not surprising that he could attract this life-creating lightning.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn sensed someone above them, looked up, and saw that it was Barefoot Immortal. They felt a slight sense of relief.

Barefoot Immortal is a veteran wandering immortal in Heaven. He is indifferent to worldly affairs and never participates in factional disputes. With him around, at least no one will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Greetings, Great Immortal." Golden Horn and Silver Horn bowed to Barefoot Immortal.

The Barefoot Immortal returned the greeting: "You two celestial children are too kind. I presume the one undergoing tribulation now is Celestial Child Qingxuan?"

"It is indeed my junior brother." Jinjiao nodded.

He wasn't surprised that the Barefoot Immortal recognized Lu Qingxuan. After all, the Barefoot Immortal was an elder of the Heavenly Court, so he would naturally be quick to know certain news.

With the two of them present, Lu Qingxuan's identity becomes quite obvious.

Upon hearing this, the Barefoot Immortal nodded and said nothing more.

The blue thunder lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before gradually dissipating.

On the deserted island, Lu Qingxuan gasped for breath, his charred skin beginning to peel away, revealing new skin underneath.

Although the Thunder of Creation is dangerous, it is also an opportunity.

As long as you persevere, you will experience a significant improvement, and this is exactly the case with Lu Qingxuan's current state.

However, Jinjiao and Yinjiao were not careless. The seventh tribulation lightning was the Life Creation Lightning, and the next two would certainly not be simple either.

A moment later, the eighth tribulation lightning finally came into being.

The oppressive aura was completely different from before, carrying an extremely heavy sense of pressure, like an entire Mount Tai pressing down on one's chest, making it hard to breathe.

Golden Horn looked up at the tribulation clouds, his expression slightly changing, and whispered, "Earth Nether Lightning!"

Silver Horn said, "Earth-elemental tribulation lightning? That should be easier to deal with than the previous ones, right?"

Jinjiao shook his head, his expression grave: "The Wutu Nether Lightning is unlike any other. It doesn't strike the physical body or harm the soul; it targets the foundation. If Junior Brother's Golden Core can't withstand it, it will shatter at best, and at worst, his body and soul will be destroyed."

He really couldn't understand how there could be so many variables in Lu Qingxuan's journey through the Golden Immortal Tribulation.

Could it be that my junior brother's background is even more profound than those old-fashioned immortals?

The Barefoot Immortal hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over Lu Qingxuan, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He knew as much about the Earthly Nether Lightning as Jin Jiao, but in his memory, the number of beings capable of attracting Earthly Nether Lightning during the Golden Immortal Tribulation could be counted on one hand.

This kind of tribulation lightning is only for cultivators whose foundations are too deep and who are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

If you can overcome it, the true path to success will be within reach; if you can't, everything will come to naught.

Lu Qingxuan naturally noticed the peculiarity of the tribulation lightning and couldn't help but smile wryly.

It seems Heaven is really determined to destroy him.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to tough it out; he refuses to believe that Heaven would actually dare to strike him down.

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from above, and a dark yellow bolt of lightning slowly emerged from the crack, unhurried and gentle, like a sleeping old dragon awakening from a cave.

For every inch the plane descends, the air pressure increases.

The sea surface was pressed down by that gravity, causing large depressions that revealed the underground reefs.

Boom!

The Earthly Nether Lightning finally struck Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Qingxuan gritted his teeth, his golden core spinning wildly in his dantian, trying to resist the pressure.

However, the power of the Earthly Nether Lightning was too heavy, as if the weight of the entire earth was pressing down on it, making it impossible to stop.

The golden elixir rotated more and more slowly, and fine cracks began to appear on its surface.

A faint, crisp cracking sound emanated from the dantian, like porcelain shattering.

Lu Qingxuan shuddered, a trickle of blood spilled from his mouth, and a crack appeared on his golden core.

Golden Horn's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is bad!"

Silver Horn was so anxious that he stomped his feet, his hands gripping the purple-gold gourd with bulging veins, ready to strike at any moment.

Barefoot Immortal frowned slightly. Unlike Golden Horn and Silver Horn, he did not pay attention to the Earthly Nether Lightning, but instead looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Something seems to be brewing there...

Just then, an even deeper rumble of thunder suddenly came from the sky.

The ninth tribulation lightning bolt struck ahead of schedule.

The two bolts of tribulation lightning merged into one in mid-air, their dark yellow and crimson gold intertwined, transforming into an unprecedentedly terrifying bolt of lightning that crashed down upon Lu Qingxuan.

Golden Horn cried out in shock, "The two tribulation lightning bolts have merged into one!"
