Chapter 377: Tempering the Sword with Thunder Tribulation

The bloodletting and sword-refining that lasted for nearly a month finally came to an end. Although Xiao Mian was indignant about the fact that the scholar and the old man surnamed Wu made a bet with him, he could do nothing about it.

These days, Xiao Mian was still practicing hard, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became. In the end, he even felt a little scared - just because Xiao Mian now had a full thirty points of true essence in his body, but he still couldn't face the small heavenly tribulation!

According to the scholar that day, the total amount of true energy in the body of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator is only equivalent to twelve points of true essence. Once a cultivator condenses six points of true essence in his body, he can face the small heavenly tribulation. After successfully passing the tribulation, he will become a Jindan strongman; if he cannot pass the small heavenly tribulation, he will be a fake Dan cultivator, and a little true essence will be retained in his body.

But Xiao Mian's current situation is a bit too weird!

If you calculate carefully, because Xiao Mian opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, the total amount of true qi in his body has increased to 20 points of true essence. In addition, the "Three Pure Ones Bible" he practiced is known as the best immortal cultivation method in ancient and modern times. Although the Three Pure Ones true qi in Xiao Mian's body is also in the realm of true qi, it is much more condensed and heavy than ordinary true qi.

But even so, it shouldn't be impossible to usher in a small heavenly tribulation after condensing so much true essence.

Then it can only be that there is something special about Xiao Mian's physique!

Is it the Three Pure Ones Returning to the Origin Body? Or is it because of his three meridians practicing together?

"It shouldn't be because of the three meridians practicing together. After all, the three meridians of Qi, Shen and Ti belong to three different systems of practice. Although they can promote each other, they are definitely not so effective. Moreover, there are few people practicing the three meridians together, but there are many people practicing the Dharma body or Dharma God together. I haven't heard that their true qi is more than that of ordinary cultivators."

"Then it should be because of the Three Purities Returning to the Origin Body?"

"Not sure! From ancient times to the present, the "Three Purities Bible" and the Three Purities Returning to the Origin Body are just legends. The "Three Purities Bible" is fine, after all, it's not that no one has practiced it, but the Three Purities Returning to the Origin Body has never appeared in official history! I have long suspected that the "Three Purities Bible" was originally written specifically for the Three Purities Returning to the Origin Body. Now it seems that you are really an accident, and you may really become an immortal in the future!"

"Become an immortal? Ha! Don't be kidding, Guitou! In our world today, it is extremely difficult to practice to the Nascent Soul Realm, and there is no one who breaks through to the God Transformation Realm. Refining the Void, Combining the Body, Mahayana, and Crossing the Tribulation, the way to become an immortal is very difficult. The road is long and endless! "

"..., that's true! But do you still plan to continue to condense true essence? Although you have found the Hidden God Fruit and the Yunshen Grass, you still lack one thing to start practicing the second round of "Soul Separation Method". By then, your progress in refining the spirit can barely keep up with the progress of refining the body and training the qi. If the three meridians enter the golden elixir realm at the same time, the benefits you get should be greater than the three meridians building the foundation that day! "

"No hurry! After condensing these thirty points of true essence, I still have a quarter of the true qi that can be mobilized in my body, and I think I can condense a few more points of true essence. "

"What a freak! Putting aside the qualitative difference between true qi and true essence, even ordinary non-combat cultivators at the initial stage of the golden elixir - such as the poison maker Bai Caiwei and the array master Wan Tianyun, the total amount of true qi that can be mobilized in an instant is probably not as good as you kid!"

Xiao Mian turned a deaf ear to the nagging of the ghost head and continued to condense his true essence. Although he was not ready to form a pill, he also wanted to see where his limit was.

After three days and three nights, Xiao Mian successfully condensed six points of true essence. At this point, Xiao Mian felt that the remaining true energy in his body was a little stretched.

After a silent calculation, Xiao Mian came to an astonishing conclusion: the total amount of true energy in his body was equivalent to more than six times that of an ordinary peak cultivator in the foundation-building period!

But at this moment, a thunderous explosion sounded, Xiao Mian frowned and walked out of the quiet room.

He saw dark clouds rolling over Hengtian Peak, as if an invisible big hand was gathering the dark clouds in the sky, making it into a funnel shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and began to rotate continuously. The tip of the funnel pointed to the Jingshe where Xiao Mian was.

Xiao Mian was shocked when he saw it, and his first thought was whether this scholar was going through the tribulation?

Seeing that the tribulation clouds in the sky were still brewing, Xiao Mian gritted his teeth and rushed towards the weapon refining workshop. When he arrived at the weapon refining workshop, he saw the scholar who was suspected of going through the tribulation standing there as if nothing had happened, and even the old man surnamed Wu looked like he had nothing to do with it.

Could it be that there are other people on Hengtian Peak who are going through the tribulation?

Just as he was thinking this, a chaotic sword light shot up into the sky, shooting towards the increasingly dense tribulation cloud. Looking more closely, Xiao Mian discovered that the chaotic sword light was clearly black and white, and it was formed because of the high-speed flight.

Could it be - the flying sword is going through the tribulation! ?

But don't magic weapons like flying swords have to be upgraded to the top magic weapons, and must they breed a trace of spirituality, so that they can summon the heavenly tribulation and become spiritual treasures?

"How strange! Logically speaking, if we use seventh-grade spiritual materials to forge a sword, no matter how exquisite our sword-making skills are, we can only forge a mid-grade magic weapon flying sword! But how could a newly formed mid-grade magic weapon flying sword attract a heavenly calamity?"

"It shouldn't be related to the spiritual materials!" As he said this, the scholar glanced at Xiao Mian thoughtfully. The old man surnamed Wu didn't care about other things, but he was very concerned about refining weapons. Following the scholar's gaze, he looked at Xiao Mian and asked suspiciously: "Is it because of this kid's blood? The blood refining method is against the harmony of nature?"

"Who knows! But looking at the posture of this flying sword attacking against the sky, regardless of its quality and power, just this spirituality may not be impossible to advance in the future!"

"..., you mean: it still has the hope of advancement?"

"Although the three spiritual materials used to refine this flying sword are all seventh-grade, the meteorite star crystal is a mixture of the meteorite fire spiritual crystal and the Milky Way star sand, which is why it has dropped one grade. If you can find a matching spiritual material in the future, you can still improve the grade."

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and secretly remembered the scholar's words in his heart. He also knew that the scholar's words were originally meant for him.

At this time, the chaotic sword light had already stirred into the calamity cloud that was spinning faster and faster.

Although no one was controlling the chaotic sword light, it was obviously as the scholar said, it was extremely agile, and the angle of killing into the calamity cloud was also extremely tricky, and it actually attacked from the tip of the calamity cloud. The sword light invaded the calamity cloud, and the huge funnel-shaped calamity cloud suddenly stopped. Then, the chaotic sword light rushed into the calamity cloud and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, the entire calamity cloud was like a madly spinning top, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes black, sometimes white, and the entire calamity cloud was surrounded by lightning and thunder.

Xiao Mian was stunned. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Xiao Mian saw the coming of the heavenly calamity, but he didn't expect that it was his flying sword that was going through the calamity.

"May I ask the senior: how does this thunder calamity compare to the general small heavenly calamity?"

"It's hard to say! Although the heavenly calamity is thunder calamity in most cases, there are also different levels. The most intuitive judgment is the color of the thunder. Take the heavenly calamity that this sword has gone through. The thunder is dark purple, which is the seventh-grade purple cloud thunder! This thunder calamity is similar to the thunder calamity experienced by the cultivator who has achieved the seventh-grade golden elixir, but not as strong as the thunder calamity of the eighth-grade golden elixir. Among all the small heavenly calamities, it is considered to be of medium to high power."

As soon as the scholar finished speaking, Wu Lieyang took over the conversation.

"Flying swords are not human cultivators after all, they should be considered as aliens undergoing tribulation. For demons, ghosts, and all aliens to survive tribulation, the heavenly tribulation they form is inherently stronger than that of human cultivators of the same level. This is also the biggest reason why human cultivators have a unique advantage in cultivation. In addition, your flying sword is forged with the blood refining technique, which is more taboo. This is why it attracted the seventh-grade purple cloud tribulation thunder when the sword body was first formed. If it can survive, it will become a mid-level magic weapon!"

"So that's it!"

Nodding, Xiao Mian looked thoughtful.

With the total amount of true energy in Xiao Mian's body equivalent to more than six times that of ordinary cultivators, it is expected that the small heavenly tribulation he will endure in the future will definitely not be so easy, right?

But so what?

A small flying sword dares to go against the sky, so I, Xiao Mian, am not as good as a flying sword?

Since I have already embarked on this road of cultivation, I should be brave and diligent.

With this thought, Xiao Mian's Taoism heart became stronger.

At this moment, the huge calamity cloud suddenly stopped, and under the gaze of Xiao Mian and the other three, the entire calamity cloud silently collapsed and shattered into millions of pieces.

Among the thousands of calamity cloud fragments, the black and white flying sword stood proudly, outstanding.

The flying sword that should have been used to cross the calamity actually destroyed the calamity cloud?

Even the Yuanying ancestors like Shusheng were also incredible at this time, but the scene that happened next made the three people stunned.

There were thunder and crackling between the thousands of calamity clouds, and the two calamity clouds triggered a few strands of lightning. The strands of lightning merged and intersected with each other, just like the sea embracing hundreds of rivers, gradually forming more and more thick lightning. Hundreds of thick lightnings attacked the hateful flying sword that dared to challenge the heavenly calamity.

The flying sword stood upright in the air, without dodging or avoiding, allowing those lightnings to hit the sword body. While it was shaking, a series of thunder and crackling sounds came out in the sky...
