Chapter 2: The Tragedy
The eve of Maple Lei's tenth birthday
"Child, I haven't given you any birthday gifts for so many years, and if you hold this magic weapon, you may be able to resist one or two when the catastrophe descends into the world. β
Feng Lei took it, this is a delicate small shield, covered with magic circle inscriptions, at least it is also a Xuan-level magic weapon. And although the master is an elder in the sect, it is not easy to get this yellow-level magic weapon, it is really difficult for the master.
"It's called Xuanhuang Shield, and I came across Xuanhuang Stone when I traveled back in the year and refined it. Although you can't urge with your mana, you are an innate spiritual object, and it is a Xuanhuang stone, a spiritual stone, and it is also a spiritual object, and it will be at your disposal. β
Now for tomorrow.
......
After a long night, the day finally came. The sky was full of dark clouds and thunder.
Feng Lei stood alone in the middle of the high martial arts training square, and around this martial arts training ground, the ten elders and the four Supreme Elders joined forces to lay down a protective array, this array was not to block the thunder of the heavenly tribulation to protect Feng Lei, but to prevent the heavenly thunder from accidentally injuring the surrounding disciples, after all, the heavenly thunder was not very human to resist. Fourteen elders were scattered around the square, ready to deal with special situations, and rushed forward to fend off the lightning strikes of the maple thunder that could not stop the catastrophe.
At this time, Feng Lei Pan sat down, and in front of him was his main body, the Cold Maple Tree. At this time, the cold maple tree was still as lifeless as a dead tree, but Feng Lei believed that he would definitely be able to come back to life and be refined by himself.
Feng Lei began to use his mana to urge the dead tree, but there was no response, and the forced refining was fruitless, so Feng Lei had no choice but to put away the cold maple tree and face the falling thunder first.
He looked up at the dark sky, and from time to time white arcs of electricity burst out of the clouds, like a silver snake scurrying in the sea of clouds. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky rolled, as if a giant beast was lying in ambush in it, ready to devour the maple thunder at any time, the dark clouds slowly rotated and turned into a vortex, and in the center of the whirlpool, there was a thunder pool, which contained a strong thunder and lightning power.
Rumble~
The first thunderbolt fell. It was a white lightning bolt, and although it was caught by Maple Thunder, Maple Thunder was paralyzed all over his body.
At this time, the fourteen elders found that the entire square was blocked by the Heavenly Thunder, and if they stepped forward, their Dao foundation would be damaged or even directly shattered.
The second thunderbolt fell. The heavenly thunder actually turned black, and the thunder of heavenly punishment was taken down, but Feng Lei's arms were bloody and blurred.
The third thunderbolt fell. It was still a black Heavenly Punishment Thunder, hitting Feng Lei's back, leaving a deep blood mark, but it couldn't bleed, because the wound had been scorched by the Heavenly Thunder.
Fenghua Daoist clenched his fists, completely unaware that his nails had been pierced into the flesh, Fenghua Daoist regarded Fenglei's disciple as his own heir, and his heart was like a knife when he saw him suffer like this.
After receiving seven heavenly thunders in a row, the heavenly thunder did not slow down, as if God would not destroy the Feng Thunder and would not give up. But at this time, Feng Lei had already become a bloody man, and the wounds on his body had just been scorched, and he was whipped by lightning again, and blood was splashed everywhere, and Feng Lei at this time had already lost his skin, and even the perception of pain was almost numb.
Cha~
A silver thunderbolt fell, stabbing at the maple thunder like a sharp sword.
"Don't!" Before the voice arrived, the Fenghua Dao people were already in front of Fenglei. Cracks began to appear in the Dao foundation of the Fenghua Dao people, and just when the heavenly thunder was about to hit the Fenghua Dao people, the Fenglei Xuan Huang Shield blocked in front of the Fenghua Dao people, pushing the Fenghua Dao people out of this square.
"Master, I know you can't bear it, but this is what I should face, you can't stop it!" Xuanhuang Shield only blocked for a moment, and then was sent flying by the thunder. The sky thunder was in the middle of the maple thunder, and the maple thunder was shot out. The Feng Lei lying on the ground had a faint breath and was dying.
Rumble~
The ninth heavenly thunder turned golden, gathering all the power of thunder and lightning in the sky and slashing down, straight to Feng Lei's heart, just like Feng Lei's dream that day, Feng Lei was immersed in the fear of the dream at that time. Unbeknownst to everyone, the dead wood and cold maple tree, which was soaked in the blood of Maple Thunder, was undergoing tremendous changes.
At this critical moment, the cold maple tree flew out and bloomed with snow-white light, as if the cold winter had arrived, the white light instantly shrouded the cold maple tree and the maple thunder, the maple thunder floated into the air, the dead wood and the cold maple tree grew out of the ice-blue rattan to wrap the maple thunder until it was wrapped into a rattan ball, and the rattan cracks continued to radiate a dazzling white light, the rattan grew blue maple leaves like ice, suddenly the wind was blowing, the maple leaves turned into butterflies in the wind, flying in the air, until the maple leaves all floated down, these royal blue crystal butterflies, all gathered to the rattan balls, and flew in from the gaps in the blooming white lightγ The light of the rattan ball converged, and if you looked closely, you could find that there were no gaps in the rattan ball at this time. At this moment, the thunder fell.
"No!" Fenghua Daoist was about to rush up as if he was crazy, but an elder standing next to him stepped forward to stop him, "Wait, you take a closer look." β
At this time, the rattan ball was struck by a lightning bolt, and the shell shattered. A hint of blue light emerges from the cracks.
The broken rattan balls fell off one by one, revealing the maple thunder inside, at this time he had no scars on his body, a snow-white long hair, a crystal blue maple leaf mark appeared on his forehead, he opened his eyes, a pair of eyes like sapphires, at this time the maple thunder exuded a sense of holiness all over his body, no longer had the barbaric roughness of the previous mountain boy, but like a fairy born in the ice and snow, full of a sense of mystery.
The fragments of the vine balls that fell on the ground turned into silver sand, surrounded Feng Lei, and gradually turned into a set of armor, attached to Feng Lei, adding a heroic wind to Feng Lei.
"It's ...... Awakening ?!"
"Yes, the Cold Maple Tree has reconnected with Maple Thunder, and the Cold Maple Tree has been refined. β
on the square
After the cold maple tree withstood the thunder, it absorbed all the power of the thunder, and the bark began to fall off, and the inside revealed a sapphire-like trunk, and a golden pattern appeared on the trunk, which was just caused by absorbing the thunder, and the cold maple tree began to grow new branches, and it grew into a towering tree while speaking, and the tree was covered with crystal clear blue maple leaves.
All of this happened in an instant, and after the golden thunder fell, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed. The sky came out like sunlight that had not been seen in a long time.
Maple Thunder began to operate its mana, and behind it, a huge phantom of the cold maple tree was reflected. This is really the performance of refining the cold maple tree.
The fourteen elders teamed up to disperse the enchantment and came forward to check.
At this time, Feng Lei was also checking his own changes, although he survived the catastrophe safely, but Feng Lei found that the mana of the foundation building realm was all gone, and now he was like the strength of an ordinary person. And this armored Feng Lei just thought and disappeared.
"This...."Maple Ray wondered.
"It's not gone, this armor is just under the influence of your mind, hidden under your skin, and as long as you are working your mind, it will come out again. An elder said.
Feng Lei tried according to the elder's method, and sure enough, it was.
"Master, elders, there is something I want to tell you, I.... The mana is gone, and now there is only the strength of the innate perfection. β
"What?"
"How can this be?"
"Didn't you survive the catastrophe?"
"How could there be such a thing?"
......
For a while, the fourteen elders were gossiping, and Feng Lei didn't know what to do.
"Elders, I think this is also a good thing, I can cultivate from scratch and lay a stronger foundation. β
"This.... That's right, but we have to find out about this matter for you, and you can't lose your mana for no reason. β
Afterwards, the thirteen elders scattered to consult the ancient books, and the Fenghua Dao people asked Feng Lei to take back the cold maple tree and take him back to his residence.
"Child, no matter what you become, Master will accompany you, Master was afraid that you would fail in the tribulation and wouldn't let you cultivate, so I let you live in a wooden house in the outer courtyard, which is really wronged by you. β
"No, Master, I'm quite comfortable. β
"Don't you want to cultivate from scratch? I ordered someone to open a cave for you on my sect's spiritual vein again, and you can live there and cultivate in the future. Calculate the time, and it should be done right away. β
"Thank you, Master. Feng Lei listened to a warm current in his heart.
"Child, as a teacher, he has no heirs or a Taoist partner in his life, he is a lonely person, and you are the only bond, of course I want to give you the best. Oh yes, this one is for you. He handed out a token.
"What is this?"
"This is the token of the Scripture Building, and it is also your identity card, with which you can enter and exit all the rooms of the Scripture Building at will. Go ahead and pick a set of exercises that suit you. β
