Chapter 1588: Guiding the Lightning Tribulation

"The Saint level is the greatest obstacle in the Saint Domain, a natural chasm for human cultivators, and even more so for sacred beasts. Without pure bloodline, success is impossible. Letting it break through now and attract the lightning tribulation? You... are you serious?"

Wu Chen was somewhat frantic.

Is this reliable or not?

If becoming a Saint were so easy, it wouldn't have trapped countless heroes and talents, leaving them unable to advance their entire lives.

Especially for sacred beasts, which have extremely high bloodline requirements. To advance, the bloodline must change, which is completely different from human cultivation methods. Using Hell's Yellow Springs to advance?

How could you think of that!

He turned to look at the young lady, wanting her to dissuade this unreliable behavior, but saw her smile slightly, looking over calmly, not finding it absurd at all, but rather showing strong trust.

Can something so ridiculous be trusted?

Clenching his teeth, he looked at the young man, only to see that he had already begun. Swords were linked end to end, forming a straight line, binding the Azure Dragon Beast with true qi, making it look like a grilled sausage.

After doing everything, he grabbed and lifted.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Hell's Yellow Springs immediately poured onto the latter, corroding the scales on its body until they turned black.

"Ah, what sin has it committed to become his beast pet? This isn't helping it advance, it's killing it..."

Wu Chen couldn't help shaking his head.

With his insight, he could naturally tell that this sacred beast was Zhang Xuan's beast pet; otherwise, it wouldn't be so obedient.

It trusted him so much, yet ended up like this, unable to escape or break free, and being corroded by the Yellow Springs... truly unlucky.

Though lamenting, he couldn't help but continue watching. He saw that Zhang Xuan, not satisfied with hanging his beast pet in the water to be corroded, took out more than a dozen swords and stabbed them fiercely.

The swords entered its body, cooperating with the Yellow Springs, as if stimulating something. The sacred beast, already at the peak of Saint Realm Ninth Layer, convulsed like an earthworm. After a moment, violent power surged from within its body.

In an instant, it seemed the bloodline was filtered anew by Hell's Yellow Springs, becoming purer, and the physical body was tempered. In the blink of an eye, it charged toward the realm of Invincible Saint.

Rumble!

With a muffled roar, the sky darkened, and countless lightning bolts slowly gathered, carrying a threat that tore through space.

"It really attracted the lightning tribulation?"

His body swayed, Wu Chen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he pulled out several strands of hair.

He thought it was nonsense, but never expected that not only did it make the Azure Dragon Beast break through, but it also actually attracted lightning. The Hell's Yellow Springs could make it break through like a grilled sausage... truly unheard of, unseen!

But... what use is attracting lightning?

It can't cross the Yellow Springs either!

Puzzled, he looked over, wanting to see how the young man would use the lightning. He saw the young man look up at the dark clouds in the sky, a kind smile on his face: "Little Tribulation, you're here... Come to your Xuan brother, take us across the river!"

Boom???

The lightning in the sky trembled, emitting a mournful sound. But after a moment's hesitation, a huge bolt of lightning stretched over, appearing before everyone like a massive bridge.

"Let's go!"

He reached out and retracted the Azure Dragon Beast into the folded space, letting it slowly comprehend the power of advancement. Zhang Xuan then stepped onto the lightning and strode across the river.

"This... works too?"

Wu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He had seen taming beasts, taming people... but never taming lightning...

The scene before him overturned his imagination!

"Let's go!"

Just as he was too shocked to know what to do, he heard the young lady's voice, and then saw her step onto the lightning and slowly walk to the other side.

"Forget it..."

Seeing the two had gone far, knowing this was not the time to be stunned, Wu Chen could no longer hold back and followed closely.

Beneath his feet, the lightning was mighty, blue flashes constantly flickering. But unlike previous tribulations, it caused no harm, instead giving a gentle feeling.

With the lightning present, the Yellow Springs below obediently dared not stir up trouble, appearing calm and peaceful from afar.

Originally, without the Nether Boat or the Ghost Bridge, this place would have been impassable. Who would have thought it could be completed so smoothly... Even following behind, it still felt like a dream.

He had dealt with countless masters and seen many talented individuals, but... he had never even heard of anyone capable of this!

Even... Confucius couldn't do it!

The lightning bridge spanned the entire Yellow Springs. Before long, the three reached the opposite shore. Stepping off the lightning, Zhang Xuan turned and smiled: "Go back first. I'll call you if I need you again. Oh, by the way, when you gathered lightning just now, you were too slow, had too many flaws, and lacked power. Next time, come find me, and I'll give you some guidance so you can improve too!"

Boom!!!

The thunder shook, as if in disbelief.

It... could also improve?

As if knowing its doubt, Zhang Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, looking like a master, and nodded: "Clouds roll and unfurl, lightning gathers... You have seven flaws in total. Be obedient, and I'll gradually tell you about them and teach you how to correct them!"

He felt a bit sorry for always troubling Little Tribulation. Just now, when the thunderclouds gathered, he had specifically used the Library to investigate and indeed found many flaws. When he had time, he would help guide it, repaying its kindness.

Boom!

Hearing his words, the thunder carried excitement, then slowly dissipated, vanishing before everyone in a moment.

"It listens to you? You can... lecture it?" Seeing the lightning tribulation indeed leave, obedient as a little wife, Wu Chen grabbed his hair.

"Mm, it's quite well-behaved..." Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Well-behaved?"

Wu Chen nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Lightning has always been the bane of cultivators. Countless die from it every year. It is always met with reverence and fear. This was the first time he heard someone call it 'well-behaved'!

If this got out, it would surely drive countless cultivators mad.

If this thing is well-behaved... is there anything in the world that isn't?

"If... the lightning has no flaws and gathers faster, wouldn't that mean more cultivators will die in it?"

Unable to hold back, Wu Chen said.

Never mind how this guy got the lightning to obey; the key was, if he really pointed out its flaws and made it stronger, wouldn't it make tribulations even harder for human cultivators?

So many already die in it now; in the future... who would dare to cultivate?

"No matter. I'll guide it to target the flaws of the alien races. Then it will only strike the aliens. It's idle anyway..." Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded.

"You..."

Unexpectedly, this guy was so shameless. Wu Chen's scalp tingled. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Luo Ruoxi's voice.

"Look!"

No longer bothering with this guy, he quickly turned and saw a palace quietly floating in the sky not far away.
