TBIP: Chapter 32 Part 3

As for the person who mentioned absorbing the thunderbolt, it was regarded as whimsical words by everyone and laughed at.

There was one exception.

It was Lou Xingyao.

It was because he suddenly thought of the joke he made when chatting with Wen Hanshan.

At that time, Lou Xingyao and Wen Hanshan mentioned the matter of foundation building. Since it was mentioned, the disaster was an unavoidable topic.

He heard Wen Hanshan saying that he would try his best to rely on his own strength to survive the thunder tribulation, and try not to use foreign objects.

Even if Wen Hanshan didn’t say it explicitly, Lou Xingyao knew that he should be influenced by Wen Miaoyin’s knowledge.

The thunder tribulation might have the power to destroy the world, but it also had great benefits for cultivators.

One of the most important ones was that the thunder tribulation had the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow.

It had to be known that among the pills that cultivators usually took, except for the best-grade pills, even the top-grade contained impurities that the cultivators couldn’t eliminate. It was pill toxins.

These pill toxins might seem inconspicuous and extremely small, but they would inevitably hinder cultivation if they stayed in the body for a long time.

This was also an important reason why the vast majority of cultivators who relied on the accumulation of pills to cultivate had extremely limited achievements in the end.

The vast majority of people didn’t have an item that went against the heavens like Lou Xingyao’s space. There was no way to take the best-grade pills. So if they wanted to eliminate the pill toxins in their bodies, they had to use the power of the thunder tribulation to do it.

Therefore, even if the cultivators in the big world had enough protection in their hands to resist all of the thunderbolts, most people choose to resist some of them, so as to cleanse the meridians and marrow.

Thanks to Lou Xingyao, Wen Hanshan now only consumed best-grade pills. Even the pill toxins accumulation from the low quality pills he took in his early years had been completely purged from his body thanks to Lou Xingyao’s daily infusion of spiritual spring water. As a result, there was no need to rely on the thunder tribulation to cleanse his body of impurities.

It was just that Wen Hanshan couldn’t let go of the various benefits brought about by the thunder tribulation.

Besides cleansing the meridians and marrow, the thunder tribulation also tempered the cultivator’s physical body. This could not only enhance the strength of the cultivator’s body, but also broaden the cultivator’s dantian and meridians.

The act of surpassing the tribulation alone could rival or surpass the results of countless days of effort.

In addition, the thunder tribulation had the effect of compressing and purifying the spiritual power in a cultivator’s body.

The longer a cultivator persisted in the thunder tribulation, the more powerful the aura in his body would become.

Wen Hanshan had always strived for the best results in his cultivation. He naturally refused to let go of such an excellent opportunity like the thunder tribulation.

Lou Xingyao naturally knew Wen Hanshan’s temperament and wasn’t surprised by this. He even said jokingly, “Brother Wen is a single thunder spiritual root. Wouldn’t it be very advantageous when crossing the tribulation?”

“Why do you say this?” At that time, Wen Hanshan obviously didn’t know the meaning of Lou Xingyao’s words.

“Look, Brother Wen’s single thunder spiritual root contains the power of lightning and the thunder tribulation also contains the power of lightning. Since both are of the same origin, won’t you be able to directly achieve self-sufficiency if you use your spiritual power to resist the tribulation and then absorb the lightning power from the tribulation to replenish yourself?” Lou Xingyao was mostly influenced by the novels he had read before when he said this.

After all, lightning was extremely lethal. Among all the natural elements, it could be said to be at the top of the food chain.

This was also caused by six out of ten protagonists of immortal cultivation novels having a thunder spiritual root.

Among these protagonists, there were many who could directly turn the power of the thunder tribulation into their own use.

Now they were talking about the thunder tribulation. Since Wen Hanshan was a single thunder spiritual root, Lou Xingyao inevitably thought of these enduring novel plots.

Unexpectedly, Wen Hanshan fell into a long silence after he said this.

At that time, Lou Xingyao thought this person was shocked by his whimsical thoughts and hurriedly said that it was just a temporary joke. Wen Hanshan shouldn’t take it to heart.

But looking at it now, Wen Hanshan clearly wasn’t surprised by his whimsical thoughts.

He was thinking about the possibility of his outrageous proposal!

Thinking of this, Lou Xingyao almost couldn’t help wanting to rush Wen Hanshan directly in order to ask him to quickly absorb the spiritual power.

Fortunately, he still had a sense of reason in his heart. He remembered that others couldn’t intervene in the thunder tribulation. In the end, he suppressed the impulse back to the bottom of his heart.

Still, this couldn’t change Lou Xingyao’s idea of wanting to go back and cover his own mouth that gave Wen Hanshan the idea of absorbing lightning.

Who made him talk nonsense?!

He casually made a joke, but others took it seriously!

Lou Xingyao was anxious like ants on a hot pan while on the other side, Wen Hanshan felt very good.

The fact that he could think of absorbing this thunderbolt into his body was indeed due to Lou Xingyao’s remarks.

However, at that time, Wen Hanshan only regarded this matter as a joke like Lou Xingyao and didn’t take it to heart.

After all, turning the power of the thunder tribulation into one’s own use was unheard of even in the big world where Wen Miaoyin was located.

But when the thunderbolt fell, for some reason, Wen Hanshan subconsciously thought of Lou Xingyao’s inadvertent joke and even had an urge to try it.

Originally, Wen Hanshan didn’t want to pay attention to this. Don’t look at his relaxed behavior when facing the thunder tribulation. The pressure on him actually wasn’t small, so he had to deal with it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the thought in his mind intensified when the second thunderbolt fell to the point where it was out of control later.

Wen Hanshan always liked to go with his heart, so he decided to give it a try.

However, Wen Hanshan was unsure of this matter. In the beginning, he only dared to test it carefully. He only intercepted a very small part of the thunderbolt and slowly absorbed it in his body.

Who knew that once the power of the thunder tribulation entered his meridians, it would disappear in his spiritual sea like it wasn’t there.

Yet Wen Hanshan could clearly perceive that the spiritual power in his body, which had been compressed to the extreme, seemed to be slightly strengthened.

Now Wen Hanshan had an idea in his heart. The power of this thunder tribulation was really as Lou Xingyao said. It was the same origin as his spiritual root, and it could be used by him!

Once the next thunderbolt came, Wen Hanshan was much bolder and directly intercepted a quarter of it, absorbing it into his body.

This time, Wen Hanshan felt the feeling of soreness coming from his meridians but it was only fleeting.

Then came the satisfaction of once again greatly increasing his spiritual power.

At the same time, Wen Hanshan also felt an inadvertent thirst in his dantian.

Taking advantage of the interval between the arrival of the thunderbolts, Wen Hanshan glanced in a distracted manner at his dantian. He saw that the Sword Dao Stone was absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation that Wen Hanshan had sent into his body.

Not only did the stone quickly consume it, but it was even extremely unsatisfied.

After noticing Wen Hanshan’s investigation, it unceremoniously conveyed the meaning of urging, ‘More, a lot more!’

This was the first time that Wen Hanshan had felt such a clear expression of consciousness from this Sword Dao Stone since he received clarification about the heart refining method.

Looking closely at the appearance of the Sword Dao Stone, the power of thunder and lightning on it had increased a lot, not to mention that even the golden-red pattern was a bit clearer.

What did Wen Hanshan not understand?

The power of this thunder tribulation was beneficial not only to him, but also the Sword Dao Stone in his dantian.

For a while, Wen Hanshan stared at the tribulation clouds above his head and even felt a bit eager to try it.

Crackle—

Boom!

Such a look seemed to anger the tribulation clouds. Not only did two thunderbolts descend together, but its power also increased a lot.

If it was in the beginning, Wen Hanshan might still be a bit afraid.

But now…

Wen Hanshan flew up directly to it. Not to mention the two thunderbolts, but looking at the power of thunder and lightning scattered around him, regret crossed his eyes.

If these two thunderbolts were a bit staggered, he wouldn’t have wasted so much of it.

The moment Wen Hanshan thought this, the tribulation clouds above his head seemed to sense it. Suddenly, it seemed to be angry and two thunderbolts came out together.

Crackle—

Boom!

Wen Hanshan naturally wasn’t polite to these thunderbolts and absorbed it all.

After two or three times, it wasn’t just Lou Xingyao who knew the inside story. Even the onlookers saw some clues.

“Why do I feel like he is absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation?”

“Me too…”

“Looking at him like this, it seems he isn’t satisfied with the intensity of the thunder tribulation?”

“Don’t say it, I can see it too.”

“Where did this freak come from? Can the thunder tribulation be dealt with so easily?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it!”

“Forget it, let’s go. I’m afraid that my heart will be broken if I look at it again!”

“Wait, I’ll go with you!”

……

In less than a cup of tea, some onlookers walked away.

There were only two or three people scattered here and there, still holding on.

Lou Xingyao wasn’t surprised by this.

Among those who came to watch the thunder tribulation, there might indeed be some who wanted to enhance their strength and understanding by experiencing the thunder tribulation, but more of them wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob.

Cultivators going through the thunder tribulation was truly a matter of life or death. Even if one was lucky enough to survive the thunderbolts, they were almost always left half-dead.

Even those who were well prepared would definitely spend a lot of money in the thunder tribulation. The protection around their body would definitely be consumed to the point where there wasn’t much left and they almost didn’t have much power to fight back.

Therefore, a cultivator who just survived the thunder tribulation was the best target for robbery. It had almost become one of the unspoken rules of the Endless forest.

These people quickly gathered like hyenas after seeing the thunderstorm because they must’ve had such ideas.

What truly caught everyone off guard was how easily Wen Hanshan endured the thunder tribulation. As the ordeal neared its end, the dark clouds above showed signs of dispersing.

But Wen Hanshan still looked unsatisfied. He constantly teased the tribulation clouds so that it had to split out two additional thunderbolts before it dissipated.

The thunderbolts that were additionally dropped by the tribulation clouds hadn’t landed when they were directly intercepted by Wen Hanshan’s flying body.

Later, it could be seen that Wen Hanshan’s momentum started to climb steadily after absorbing the thunderbolts. In a short time, he had already broken through the foundation building barrier.

But he still showed no signs of stopping. He continued to advance all the way until he broke through the middle stage of foundation building. Then he stopped.

After Wen Hanshan’s breakthrough, the clouds finally dispersed and colorful auspicious clouds floated over slowly. Fine and dense colorful spiritual rain fell on top of Wen Hanshan.

With the fall of the spiritual rain, the land scorched by the thunderstorm quickly rejuvenated. In a few breaths, it had already returned to the vibrant spring appearance before the thunderstorm fell.

This was a gift from the Heavenly Dao.

After the disaster, the injuries on the cultivator’s body could quickly recover thanks to the spiritual rain. It also consolidated the realm that had just broken through.

Some cultivators saw the success of Wen Hanshan’s tribulation but stayed in order to gain some benefits from this spiritual rain.

Lou Xingyao glanced over roughly and saw that everyone was standing on the edge of the range of spiritual rain in an orderly manner, so that it didn’t affect Wen Hanshan’s absorption. Therefore, he turned a blind eye to it and didn’t make a move to stop it.

Lou Xingyao didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he always felt there was a bit of reluctance in the spiritual rain?

Just as Lou Xingyao was doubting it in his heart, Wen Hanshan finished absorbing all the spiritual rain and suddenly burst out with a strong aura.

Along with this aura, there were black-purple thunderclouds in the sky that stretched for miles.

Lou Xingyao’s heart immediately skipped a beat. Didn’t Wen Hanshan just survive the thunder tribulation? How could there be thunderclouds gathering again? Based on this appearance, the momentum was even about the foundation building thunder tribulation just now!
