Not to mention Lou Xingyao, even the cultivators taking the opportunity to grab some spiritual rain on the side were shocked and suspicious when looking at Wen Hanshan.
Did this person have to survive two thunder tribulations in a row?
Soon, the crowd noticed the difference in the thunderclouds overhead.
The thunderclouds ahead were grand and opposing, like a thunder tribulation, and even the lightning flickering across it looked lifelike, but it wasn’t real. It was a mirage!
Quite a few people relaxed after realizing this.
No matter how monstrous this person was to absorb the thunder tribulation for his own use, it was impossible for him to summon tribulation clouds twice in a row.
Lou Xingyao stared at the mirage above his head in a slightly stunned manner.
This scene seemed to be expressed in the original novel.
It was a few million words into the original novel. When Lou Xingyao read it, his attention was almost all on the key plot and Wen Hanshan. In addition, the time was long, and he was a bit uncertain for a while.
He saw that in the mirage, thunderclouds were everywhere. Even if it was just false, the thunderous appearance still couldn’t help but make the onlookers feel scared.
For some reason, Lou Xingyao always felt that the thunderclouds in the mirage seemed to give him a sense of deja vu.
However, before he could take a closer look, a shocking cold light suddenly rose in the mirage, cutting through the sky like a sharp sword and splitting it in half.
After the cold light stopped, Lou Xingyao realized, ‘How is it only like a sharp sword?’
This was clearly a sharp sword!
The body of the sword was also lightning and thunder. The momentum was equal to the thunder that stretched for miles.
Before Lou Xingyao could take a closer look, the long sword had already flown up and soared into the sky.
The moment the sword went straight into the thunderclouds, the majestic mirage seemed to be like a broken mirror. The scenes on it were torn apart like fragments.
It was just that this shattered mirage didn’t disappear directly.
Instead, as if it had its own consciousness, it gradually moved closer to Wen Hanshan. Finally, it converged into a spiritual light that went straight into Wen Hanshan’s body.
At this time, Lou Xingyao finally matched the scene with the content described in the original novel.
“A tribulation passing vision! It turns out to be a strange phenomenon after passing the thunder tribulation!”
The cries of the onlookers happened to overlap with Lou Xingyao’s thoughts.
Obviously, among the people sharing the spiritual rain, there were well-informed people who recognized the source of the mirage.
It was rumored that if a person with outstanding talent passed the tribulation, they would be able to cause changes in the heavens and earth. A mirage would be formed that was closely related to the cultivator or in line with their path of the Dao.
After passing the thunder tribulation, the mirage would turn into a gift from heaven and earth. This would be integrated into the cultivator’s body, bringing them endless benefits.
This unusual sight was called the tribulation passing vision!
But this vision couldn’t be obtained by those who weren’t gifted.
In the records of Tianming Continent, the last time there was a tribulation passing vision was 10,000 years ago.
Later, that person not only succeeded in forming a pill, but he even broke the pill and became a nascent soul in one go.
Even Lou Xingyao had heard of this person. It was the ancestor who wrote the inscription of Canglan City!
How could it not be surprising that a tribulation passing vision, who had long become a legend, reappeared after 10,000 years?
What’s more, the person who attracted this tribulation passing vision last time was a famous nascent soul ancestor. This would inevitably make people think of some other aspects.
For example, did this tribulation passing vision contain the key to breaking through to the nascent soul?
Even if such an association was unreasonable, as long as there was a slight possibility, it was enough to drive insane the cultivators who thought the future of Tianming Continent was cut off.
Lou Xingyao could clearly feel that these cultivators originally just wanted to share some benefits from the spiritual rain. Now they looked at Wen Hanshan and there were indescribable changes in their eyes.
Some of them even put their hands on their swords at their waist, ready to act!
Lou Xingyao stared at these people, his eyes sharp. His fingers holding the long sword couldn’t help tightening. He looked like a cheetah that was hunting, ready to attack.
However, before these people could make a move, an extremely strong sword intent erupted from Wen Hanshan’s body.
This spiritual rain clearly had the effect of making all the trees grow. It could also bring some warmth to people when it fell on them.
But when this sword intent attacked, they felt a powerful killing intent which made many people’s hearts feel cold. Even the spiritual rain given by the Heavenly Dao couldn’t alleviate it.
The momentum contained in it made many people breathe for a while. Then they involuntarily took a few steps back.
The eyes that were originally a bit inquisitive and greedy when looking at Wen Hanshan were instantly a bit frightened. They took away their hands on their weapons.
Lou Xingyao could see what these people were thinking at a glance.
These people wanted to act because they were carried away by the possibility of breaking through to the nascent soul.
Now when they felt the sword intent released by Wen Hanshan, they realized that the person who could attract the tribulation passing vision wasn’t a weak person who could be manipulated by others.
They found there was nothing they could do, so the people naturally took back all the messy thoughts in their hearts.
Since these people didn’t want to act, Lou Xingyao’s tense body gradually relaxed a bit although he didn’t lower the vigilance in his heart.
The last trace of spiritual rain had melted into the ground, and the colorful auspicious clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. Lou Xingyao knew that Wen Hanshan’s thunder tribulation had completely ended.
Lou Xingyao was finally completely relieved. He walked in the direction of Wen Hanshan, but before he could move, something fell from the sky and covered his face.
Before he could resist, he felt Wen Hanshan’s familiar aura from it.
After realizing this, Lou Xingyao immediately stopped his actions and let the other person do what he wanted.
Immediately after, Lou Xingyao felt a sense of weightlessness. There seemed to be the sound of the wind whistling in his ears.
The next moment, the object that blocked Lou Xingyao’s vision moved away. He realized that it was Wen Hanshan’s sleeve robe.
Right now, he…
Lou Xingyao saw the scenery around him rapidly retreating and looked down at the long sword under his feet.
Flying on a sword!
This was one of the signature skills mastered by foundation building cultivators.
As a standard configuration in xianxia dramas, every Chinese person would like flying on a sword!
Lou Xingyao had imagined the feeling of mastering such a skill more than once. Now that he actually stood on a sword, he realized that it didn’t seem to be as cool as it was in xianxia TV dramas.
His feet dangled in the air, and the wind was whistling all around him. His sense of security was so weak that it was almost gone.
Lou Xingyao even suspected that he would be thrown down directly if Wen Hanshan’s movements were a bit bigger.
Fortunately, Newton had no effect in the world of cultivation. Wen Hanshan’s swordsmanship was also very proficient, so what Lou Xingyao was worried about didn’t happen.
After landing on the ground, Lou Xingyao found that Wen Hanshan seemed to have changed a lot.
But he couldn’t tell what the difference was after looking closely.
Obviously, he was still the same. His height, appearance, and aura were no different from usual. But in terms of senses, Lou Xingyao always seemed to feel that something was wrong.
If he had to say it, he could only say that Wen Hanshan’s body was a bit less mortal and had a more ethereal feeling.
Just as Lou Xingyao was carefully distinguishing it, a familiar knocking on his head occurred. “Why are you in a daze?”
He raised his eyes and met Wen Hanshan’s smiling eyes.
Okay, now that ethereal feeling was gone.
This person was still the same as before. There was no change due to the tribulation.
Lou Xingyao couldn’t help smiling. “I haven’t congratulated Brother Wen yet. You have successfully made a breakthrough and built your foundation.”
He didn’t ask why they suddenly changed places. The tribulation passing vision was as powerful as a thunderstorm. It might not have lasted long, but it was enough to attract attention.
If there were people who were interested in the tribulation passing vision, they would’ve already rushed to the place where Wen Hanshan just passed the tribulation.
From the reactions of the onlookers, he could see the attitude of the people of Tianming Continent toward the tribulation passing vision.
These people were no stronger than the early stage of foundation building and could still be forced back by Wen Hanshan’s sword intent.
However, there would inevitably be trouble if there were those who were more advanced in their cultivation.
The truth was really as Lou Xingyao thought. Wen Hanshan had just taken him away when on the other side, several unfathomable auras appeared in the place where the thunder tribulation happened.
Before they arrived, their spiritual consciousness had already searched the place.
The cultivators who wanted to share the benefits of the spiritual rain were originally planning to leave after Wen Hanshan left with Lou Xingyao.
Who knew that before they could move, they felt the spiritual consciousness of high-level cultivators. How could anyone dare to make a move now? They could only pause their footsteps.
Sure enough, after the spiritual consciousness finished searching, three figures soon appeared in the air.
Many people’s pupils tightened when they saw the appearance of the people who came.
Wen Hanshan’s thunder tribulation was spur of the moment. His chosen place was on the periphery of the Endless Forest, but it was some distance away from Xilin County. Seriously speaking, this place was actually closer to the middle of the Endless Forest.
The onlookers, casual cultivators who were able to arrive in time after the clouds gathered, were obviously those who had been wandering in the Endless Forest all the time.
Since they had been here for a long time, they naturally needed to know a bit about the cultivators who couldn’t be provoked.
Among these people who couldn’t be provoked, there were two who were the most special.
One was Jiang Shuiqing, and the other was Shao Hongyuan.
These two people weren’t evil people. They were on the list because they had cultivated to a high level and reached the peak of the foundation building realm.
It must be known that in this Endless Forest, cultivators in the early stage of foundation building were already rare.
In other words, after breaking through to foundation building, they just had to find a slightly more remote place and start a family. Then they could dominate the area. Wasn’t it better than exploring this Endless Forest?
This was also what the vast majority of people thought.
Therefore, after many people achieved foundation building, they would directly leave except for the very few who pursued higher aspirations.
Even those who pursued a higher realm wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long. In the end, they would leave one after another because they couldn’t break through for a long time or couldn’t withstand the temptation from the outside world.
