How could this little cultivator know that this change in expression was still seen by the two seniors who hadn’t gone far?
“Look at this. A second-grade broken plant can move people!” Shao Hongyuan angrily glanced at Jiang Shuiqing.
“Didn’t you give it?” Jiang Shuiqing felt that his partner’s mind was becoming more and more difficult to guess.
“Yes, I was the one who gave it, but you are the good person, right?” Shao Hongyuan glanced at him again. Did he think that his voice transmission just now was a secret?
“Okay, the good person can be you next time, okay?” Jiang Shuiqing hurriedly appeased her.
“Who is interested?” Shao Hongyuan glanced at this smiling man and walked straight forward.
“You aren’t interested, you aren’t interested at all!” Jiang Shuiqing hurried to catch up. He saw that his partner was about to speak again and knew that this could drag on endlessly if left unchecked, so he hurried to change the subject. “Just now, your expression looked a bit off when you heard about the Zhou family. Did something come to mind?”
“It’s nothing. I just have a small speculation about the identity of the person who passed the tribulation.” Shao Hongyuan paused. The expression on her face became more serious.
“Huh?” Jiang Shuiqing looked at her in a puzzled manner.
“Thunderclouds and a sword light. Who do you think this person passing the tribulation resembles?” Shao Hongyuan asked without answering.
“A thunder attribute sword cultivator. This point is quite obvious.” Jiang Shuiqing gave the answer almost without thinking.”
The tribulation passing vision had always been closely related to the cultivator going through the tribulation. There was almost nothing that was incompatible.
There was both thunder and a sword. Except for a thunder attribute sword cultivator, Jiang Shuiqing couldn’t think of anything else.
“Yes. So haven’t you thought of it yet?” Shao Hongyuan slightly raised an eyebrow.
“Who comes to mind? Weren’t we talking about the Zhou family’s…” Jiang Shuiqing suddenly fell silent. “You mean, Zhou Hanshan?”
“Who else?” Shao Hongyuan gave an affirmative answer.
Wen Hanshan’s spiritual root attribute wasn’t hidden on Tianming Continent.
Initially, when he measured his spiritual root attribute, the Zhou family’s attitude of telling the world was no worse than when they welcomed Ye Hantian back to the family.
It was to the point where people on the Tianming Continent would first think of the former eldest son of the Zhou family when hearing about a thunder attribute spiritual root.
“But isn’t it said that the eldest son of the Zhou family is abolished?” Jiang Shuiqing frowned slightly as if he didn’t believe it.
“Who can say for sure about the affairs of the big families?” Shao Hongyuan sneered lightly, seemingly very unimpressed.
Jiang Shuiqing originally wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that Shao Hongyuan’s background was also extraordinary.
The Shao family wasn’t as good as the six major families of Canglan City, but it was far richer than ordinary people.
Shao Hongyuan naturally knew about the twists and turns in the big families more than ordinary people. She was speechless for a while.
“Based on what I saw, the golden core cultivator himself probably isn’t sure.” At this time, Shao Hongyuan couldn’t help saying again.
Jiang Shuiqing heard this and also thought of the golden core cultivator. That person had asked very anxiously, ‘thunderclouds appeared first, and then a long sword appeared?’ when he heard about the tribulation passing vision. Obviously, he had some suspicion.
“If that is the case, there will be some fun to watch on this Tianming Continent,” Jiang Shuiqing couldn’t help commenting.
They had cultivated to this point and knew more of the inside story than the cultivators below.
They weren’t likely to associate the tribulation passing vision with an opportunity to break through to the nascent soul realm.
However, they knew that a cultivator who could attract the tribulation passing vision did have a bit more hope of breaking through to the nascent soul realm than others.
In the beginning, the Zhou family drove Zhou Hanshan away. It was very exciting and reached the point where everyone knew about it.
The Zhou family didn’t explain the reason, but they blamed the eldest son who had left the Zhou family.
Everyone was cunning. There was no need to play games.
Anyone with half a mind would understand the reason after thinking about it.
The reason was inseparable from the fact that the eldest son of the Zhou family could no longer cultivate.
Later, in order to make the new successor with a single spiritual root, Ye Hantian, return to the family, the Zhou family held several lively banquets and set a precedent of not changing his surname.
Weren’t the various concessions made out of the hope that Ye Hantian with a single spiritual root could break through to the nascent soul realm?
If they were to find out now that Zhou Hanshan was cured and even attracted a vision during his tribulation…
Tsk tsk. Jiang Shuiqing didn’t dare to easily think about the consequences.
“Tsk, I really wish it is that Young Master Zhou.” Shao Hongyuan snorted coldly.
Not to mention anything else, just the look in the eyes of the Zhou family’s golden core cultivator before leaving made Shao Hongyuan want to watch the Zhou family’s drama unfold.
“You…” Jiang Shuiqing and Shao Hongyuan had been partners for many years. How could he not see what she was thinking?
He shook his head helplessly. Finally, he pulled Shao Hongyuan and went to the lair of a fourth-grade demon beast, making her happy again.

Lou Xingyao didn’t know that someone had guessed Wen Hanshan’s identity due to the images revealed during the vision.
At this moment, he was looking at Wen Hanshan’s Sword Dao Stone while feeling amazed.
Things had to start from Lou Xingyao’s congratulations to Wen Hanshan on the successful foundation building just now.
Wen Hanshan’s performance wasn’t obvious, but Lou Xingyao could still see that Wen Hanshan was very satisfied with his breakthrough.
After congratulating him, Lou Xingyao couldn’t help asking about Wen Hanshan’s various behaviors during the thunder tribulation, among which the practice of absorbing the power of thunder and lightning for his own use naturally became an unavoidable topic.
Wen Hanshan also knew that his behavior would probably frighten Lou Xingyao.
Lou Xingyao might be the first one to mention it, but it was obvious from his tone at the time that Lou Xingyao didn’t think such a thing was possible.
Wen Hanshan immediately told Lou Xingyao his thoughts while experiencing the thunder tribulation.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to shift the blame. “In fact, I didn’t absorb that much of the thunder tribulation. Most of it was intercepted by the Sword Dao Stone!”
Listening carefully, it wasn’t difficult to hear the grievances and dissatisfaction contained in these words.
He looked like a kindergarten child who was complaining to his parents because his classmates were given an extra bag of snacks than him.
“Huh” Lou Xingyao sent a questioning look to Wen Hanshan.
Wen Hanshan didn’t say much. His expression changed slightly, and he summoned the Sword Dao Stone.
After the Sword Dao Stone appeared, Lou Xingyao realized that this little sword had completely changed its appearance.
The purple that was almost invisible had now dissipated without a trace, leaving only a pure black color.
It made the entire sword body feel a bit more quiet and simple.
In addition, there seemed to be several streams of light contained on the edge of the blade. Looking closely, it wasn’t difficult to find that these streamers were composed of flashing thunder and lightning power.
The flickering thunderbolts contained a bit of earth-destroying power.
Just now, he had seen the entire thunder tribulation process of Wen Hanshan. Lou Xingyao wasn’t a stranger to this power. Wasn’t it the thunder tribulation?
A trace of surprise flashed in Lou Xingyao’s eyes when he realized this. He couldn’t help reaching out to touch the light flickering on the blade.
Unexpectedly, the moment he made slight contact, the thunderbolt exploded directly, and Lou Xingyao’s entire palm felt paralyzed.
The thunder light stopped. Lou Xingyao looked down and found there were a few more scorch marks on the palm of the hand that touched the Sword Dao Stone.
With a slight touch, the charred blade skin fell off, revealing the tender flesh with a bit of blood stains on the inside.
“Hiss…” Combine this with the tingling sensation from the palm of his hand and Lou Xingyao couldn’t help gasping.
Buzz.
The Sword Dao Stone saw the tragic situation of Lou Xingyao’s hand and moved forward, wanting to apologize as before.
The moment there was movement, the thunderbolts in the sword flickered again.
This time, Lou Xingyao reacted quickly and took back his outstretched palm.
Otherwise, with the appearance of the Sword Dao Stone’s thunder light, it was difficult to guarantee that his already injured palm wouldn’t worsen.
The Sword Dao Stone obviously realized that the current situation didn’t seem to be good and subconsciously moved.
The moment it moved slightly, the thunderbolts started to flash uncontrollably.
In the end, the Sword Dao Stone could only stay quietly in the air not far from Lou Xingyao, not daring to make any more moves.
It was unable to move, and Lou Xingyao could feel the deep grievance from the Sword Dao Stone.
Looking at the Sword Dao Stone that wanted to move but didn’t dare to, and then seeing Wen Hanshan’s sneer, Lou Xingyao finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “What’s wrong with it?”
“What’s wrong?” Wen Hanshan snorted coldly. “It was too arrogant and overstuffed itself.”
Buzz.
Hearing this, the Sword Dao Stone hurriedly wanted to refute it. Then the moment it made a move, the power of thunder and lightning in its body became active again.
Okay, there was no need to refute it now.
Lou Xingyao suddenly understood that what Wen Hanshan just said was probably the truth.
It was estimated that most of the thunder tribulation was swallowed by this Sword Dao Stone.
Thinking of the powerful energy contained in the thunder tribulation, a trace of worry inevitably appeared in Lou Xingyao’s eyes. “Won’t something happen if it is like this?”
“No, it won’t.” Wen Hanshan shook his head. He knew this.
Perhaps due to coming from a place full of thunder, but this Sword Dao Stone’s ability to accommodate thunder and lightning was unusually powerful.
Don’t look at its indigestion now. This was entirely due to its reluctance to give up the power of the thunder tribulation. it temporarily stored them, wanting to keep them and digest them slowly.
However, the power of the thunder tribulation was too much and slightly exceeded the capacity of the Sword Dao Stone. In the end, it became what it was now.
This feeling was like stuffing cotton into a bag until it was full, but the owner of the bag still wasn’t satisfied and piled up a bit more.
The spilled cotton wasn’t pretty, but wouldn’t fall out of the bag.
Lou Xingyao heard this explanation and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Thinking of the usual performance of this Sword Dao Stone, he felt it was reasonable for him to do such a thing. He couldn’t help commenting, “Greedy!”
The Sword Dao Stone was obviously a bit unhappy and couldn’t help jumping up.
Unexpectedly, this jump caused another burst of thunder.
Yes, this time the Sword Dao Stone understood that it was inconvenient to do anything as long as it didn’t digest the thunder tribulations.
It was immediately reluctant to stay outside longer. It shook its body and returned to Wen Hanshan’s dantian.
Needless to say, it worked hard to digest it.
After feeling the movement of the Sword Dao Stone, Wen Hanshan raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn’t help some amusement creeping into his eyes.
Without him, the Sword Dao Stone would never be able to fully convert the power of the thunder tribulation while absorbing it.
As its master, Wen Hanshan could seize the opportunity to siphon off a portion for himself. This could be regarded as infinitely beneficial.
The reaction of the Sword Dao Stone made people laugh, but Lou Xingyao was still a bit worried. “How long will this last?”
“Three months if it is fast, and half a year if it is slow.” Wen Hanshan sensed it slightly before giving the answer.
“It isn’t too long.” Lou Xingyao commented while thinking of the appearance of the Sword Dao Stone just now.
“Naturally, after it has completely absorbed the power of the thunder tribulation, it will be able to…” Wen Hanshan nodded, but his expression changed halfway through his words.
Before Lou Xingyao could ask, he saw Wen Hanshan take out a disc from the storage bag.
Lou Xingyao wasn’t a stranger to this disc. It was the paired counterpart to the parent formation, which they had set up in the small courtyard in Xilin County. It had the effect of an early warning system.
The one used in the small courtyard was the parent formation, while the one in Wen Hanshan’s hand was the child formation.
If the parent formation was touched, the child formation could detect it even thousands of miles away.
Now this formation had been stained with a patch of red. It was a manifestation of someone attacking the parent formation!
