Chapter 431: Breakthrough of the Thunder Tribulation Shuangshu
A month after getting the Ice Lotus, both Song Chun and Xia Yun felt signs of breaking through the Golden Pill Stage. The three of them stopped moving forward, found a mountain peak that few monks cared about, dug a cave halfway up the mountain that was large enough to accommodate the three of them, settled down, and waited for the arrival of the thunderstorm.
Soon, Xia Yun was one step ahead of Song Chun and ushered in the thunder tribulation.
On this morning, Xia Yun came to the mountain dǐng, sat cross-legged, Song Chun and Lin Ling sacrificed their puppets, and stepped on the flying sword from afar to protect Xia Yun's Dharma.
For about an hour or so, Song Chun and Lin Ling in the distance didn't see that the sky was still clear when they saw the tribulation clouds of other monks in the past, but they found that there was a trace of cold air current, surging towards the mountain where Xia Yun was sitting.
At this time, Xia Yun's heart was also full of doubts. During their travels, they had watched the monks cross the river several times. There are those in the Jindan period, and there are those in the Yuan infant period. When the monks crossed the tribulation, there would be clouds of calamity coming from all directions, followed by the landing of thunderstorms. The Jindan period is three tribulation thunders, and the Yuan infant period is nine tribulation thunders. Xia Yun only felt that there was a thick icy air flow gathering in the sky of his head, but he did not see a trace of calamity clouds.
As the icy air currents gathered more and more, Xia Yun's heart trembled for no reason. Xia Yun knew that this was a sign that danger was coming, so he hurriedly packed up his mind, gathered his whole body to cultivate, and was on guard. It's just that three or four $dǐng$diǎn$ Xiao$ said, .≥.o☆ After a few breaths, a deafening thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear sky. This sudden thunderclap sound, centered on the peak of Xia Yun's Tribulation, spread out for four or five thousand miles, and the monks in this range all looked at the sky in confusion, puzzled by the sudden thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The most confused thing was Xia Yun, after a thunderclap, Xia Yun felt the cold air flow of his head condense into a bundle, and instantly plunged straight down to him. Xia Yun hurriedly sacrificed the cicada wing sword to meet him. The cicada's winged sword collided with the straight down airflow, and it unexpectedly emitted a series of rapid ding-dong sounds.
When the first colorless icy air flow was crushed by the Cicada Wing Sword, the air flow in the sky began to condense again. Xia Yun didn't care about the condensed air current, but was busy absorbing the debris of the first thunder tribulation that had been crushed by the Cicada Wing Sword. Those invisible detritus, like ice cubes, landed on Xia Yun's body, and they directly drilled into his body and turned into true qi, and after running along the meridians for a week, they finally concentrated on Xia Yun's dantian. When he first entered the body, it brought Xia Yun a biting cold, which made Xia Yun shiver. However, when it ran in the meridians for a moment, especially after converging in the dantian, it made Xia Yun feel a refreshing warmth that penetrated his heart. For a while, he was no longer afraid of the Thunder Tribulation, but had some expectations for the second Thunder Tribulation.
The second thunderbolt did not come quickly, with a gap of nearly two quarters of an hour. In order to absorb some more of the colorless cold air currents of the Thunder Tribulation, Xia Yun did not let the Cicada Wing Sword block it with all his might this time. It's just that when nearly a third of the thunder tribulation debris fell on Xia Yun, he regretted it a little. It was too cold, this was Xia Yun's first feeling. Immediately after entering the meridians in the body, it brought me a pinprick pain. Xia Yun knew that it was caused by too much true qi inhaled at one time. wanted to slow down the speed of the true qi entering the body in the meridians, but these true qi did not listen to Xia Yun's command, so they could only grit their teeth and persist.
The third thunderstorm seems to be coming more slowly. After Xia Yun absorbed the debris of the second thunder tribulation, he waited for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. There was no thunder, only the reflection of colorful snow-like ice crystals in the sunlight. After touching the circling cicada wing sword, with a sonorous impact sound, it actually hit the cicada wing sword straight down. The first ice crystal that fell, with a pop, drilled into Xia Yun's shoulder, and then a stream of blood shot out of the hole that was hit by the ice crystal, and a heart-piercing pain made Xia Yun's body shake a little.
Xia Yun didn't dare to be careless anymore, and while standing up, he sacrificed the puppet, took out the battle knife, controlled the cicada wing sword, and tried his best to dial the ice crystals so as not to fall on his body.
Song Chun and Lin Ling, who were standing in the distance to protect Xia Yun's Dharma, like Xia Yun at this time, asked secretly in their hearts:
"Could this be the third thunder tribulation?"
When the cicada wing sword was knocked to the ground, the puppet was hit by the ice crystals and lost its ability to move, and Xia Yun, who was wielding the war knife, had to be convinced that this was indeed the third thunder tribulation. Suddenly, Xia Yun remembered the description of the ice spirit in the "Ice Spirit Formula", which was exactly the same as the ice crystals falling in front of him. Xia Yun couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised in his heart, trying his best to avoid the ice crystals, not hitting his head and face and other key parts, no longer blocking the falling ice crystals, it should be said that it was the ice spirits, but began to be busy collecting these ice spirits. To be honest, the pain caused by being hit through the body by the ice spirit was huge, and every time, it would make Xia Yun's body stagger. However, the strange thing is that every time it hits, just a wisp of blood is splashed, and then the wound heals automatically. And the ice spirit that enters the body will be transformed into true qi in an instant, running along the meridians, and finally converging on the dantian. And the ice that falls on the snow will disappear in the blink of an eye.
Song Chun and Lin Ling, who were in the distance, saw Xia Yun's strange behavior, and saw that the ice crystals in the sky were gradually becoming scarce, so they rushed over together. I only heard Xia Yun shouting:
"Senior sister, Ling'er, quickly collect these ice crystals."
Knowing that Xia Yun must have a purpose in saying this, the two of them also joined in the operation of collecting ice crystals without caring about asking the reason. In less than a quarter of an hour, not a single ice crystal fell from the sky.
"Yun'er, you just condensed the golden pill, so let's hurry up and stabilize the realm."
After returning to the cave halfway up the mountain, Lin Lingcai asked:
"Sister Yun, what are you doing picking up these ice crystals?"
"Has Ling'er ever heard of Ice Spirit?"
"What? Ice! Is Yun'er saying that these ice crystals are ice spirits? ”
"Yes, Senior Sister. You should take it carefully, the effect of the ice spirit must be known to the senior sister. I went to meditate. ”
After Xia Yun went to meditate to stabilize the realm, Song Chun said to Lin Ling;
"Ice Spirit is the essence of 10,000 years of ice, not only can it be used to refine pills, but it is also an auxiliary resource in the cultivation process of Ice Spirit Body cultivators. At the same time, if you use ice spirit to feed the ice silkworm, it is much better than using 10,000-year ice, and the ice lotus, if you use ice spirit to nourish it, compared to using 10,000-year ice, the maturity time will be at least twice as short. ”
Six days after Xia Yundu's tribulation, Song Chun's Jindan Thunder Tribulation also came as scheduled.
Compared with Xia Yun's Thunder Tribulation, Song Chun's Thunder Tribulation is much more normal, with three Thunder Tribulations, one stronger than one. With the help of the flying sword and the puppet, Song Chun's thunder tribulation survived without danger. After Song Chun used more than ten days to stabilize his realm, Lin Ling said enviously to the two senior sisters:
"Senior Sister, Sister Yun, you have all advanced to the Jindan stage, when will I be able to advance?"
"Ling'er is already the sixth layer in the middle stage of foundation building, and in a few days, it will advance to the late stage, if nothing else, he will definitely be able to break through to the Jindan stage within ten years. Ling'er, don't be in a hurry, Master often tells us that when cultivating, we must not blindly pursue speed, and we must understand the truth that if you want to be fast, you will not be able to reach it. ”
"Oh, Ling'er knows. By the way, Senior Sister, Sister Yun, do you say that Master and Uncle have found a way to fly now? ”
At the mention of Bixi Fairy, the three sisters became melancholy.
"Who knows? I don't know when I will be able to see Master and Uncle again. ”
"Senior sister, sister Ling'er, as long as we work hard to cultivate, there will always be a day when we see Master again."
"Also, we will also fly to the immortal realm one day, and the master and uncle are just ascending earlier than me."
"However, I am now in the foundation building period, as well as the Jindan period, the Yuan Infant period, the God Transformation Period, the Mahayana Period, and the Ascension to the Immortal Realm, I don't know how many years later, I really miss Master."
Song Chun didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, for fear of affecting the relationship between the three sisters, so he changed the topic. took out the ice spirit he had collected, handed it to Xia Yun and said:
"Yun'er, these ice spirits are still for you, they are more useful to you."
Lin Ling also took out the ice spirit he had collected, handed it over and said:
"Yes, Sister Yun."
"Senior sister, sister Ling'er, you all keep it, I have collected enough, enough for me to use for a while."
Seeing that Xia Yun resolutely didn't want to, Song Chun and Lin Ling had no choice but to take it back.
"Since Yun'er insists, let's keep feeding the ice silkworms and nourishing the ice lotus."
