My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 350: Where Did This Grand Elder Come From?
Human-shaped charcoal was struck down to the ground by thunder.
If the lightning tribulation were merely a physical-level attack, then relying on Steel Body, Lu Bai might still be able to withstand it, at most feeling pain to the point of numbness.
But something like a lightning tribulation that acts as heavenly punishment on behalf of the heavens, how could it be that simple.
Even if Lu Bai was not very clear, he could feel the yin and yang energies contained in the thunder constantly eroding the vitality of his body.
Looking from afar, the deathly aura emanating from that human-shaped charcoal seemed increasingly obvious.
The lightning tribulation one must face for ascension to immortality is an all-encompassing test.
Merely having cultivation that meets the standard is not enough; one must ensure perfect control over one’s own essence, qi, spirit, soul, soul, and body.
No matter which one is not sufficiently perfect, it will become a flaw during the tribulation.
And for Lu Bai, due to his cultivation rising too quickly, every single one actually had defects to a certain degree.
His mental state was even worse; it was just that his emotional changes were somewhat special, allowing him to slightly take advantage during the sudden appearance of the heart demon tribulation, but that was all, not enough to support him through the heart demon tribulation.
In this situation, Lu Bai’s consciousness gradually became dazed, his thoughts unable to connect coherently under the intense pain of the thunder’s bombardment.
Elder Wang, who had already escaped the range of the lightning tribulation, turned around, looked at this scene in the thunder, and directly fell into complete despair.
This was far too lacking; there was no way to pass this lightning tribulation at all.
The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is divided into layers, each layer nine bolts of thunder.
What Lu Bai was facing was clearly the top-tier nine-layer lightning tribulation.
A total of eighty-one bolts of thunder; looking at the current situation, even the first layer’s nine bolts of thunder seemed unlikely to be withstood.
Sure enough, under Elder Wang’s grave gaze, the first layer’s nine bolts of thunder had just passed halfway when they ceased.
Immediately after, the thunderclouds dispersed at a speed extremely inconsistent with physical laws, and the sky spanning hundreds of miles saw light again.
“Too hasty.”
Elder Wang sighed deeply with heartache.
This kind of clearly steady, step-by-step cultivation—even if it was three days fishing and two days drying nets—would certainly allow ascension to the Immortal Realm as a true immortal seedling, yet it ended up with death and the dao extinguished.
No matter the relationship, he couldn’t help but feel regret from the bottom of his heart.
Elder Wang thought for a moment and decided to go see if he could find any remains; after all, he was an unprecedented genius in the history of their Qingwang Sect.
He returned to Ziyun Mountain, which had greatly changed under the influence of the lightning tribulation.
Where could any traces of the original Ziyun Mountain be seen? It was all a mess of jagged rocks.
Just as Elder Wang was somewhat at a loss, he suddenly felt the sound transmission talisman in his storage ring heat up.
He took it out and saw it was Yu Xu Zi contacting him, so he hurriedly replied with a message.
“Sect Leader, I might not have time right now.”
However, Yu Xu Zi’s voice burst out directly from the sound transmission talisman.
“Wang the Gambler! What the hell are you doing in the name of the Immeasurable Immortal Venerable?! Why are so many immortal sects sending messages demanding an explanation from our Qingwang Sect?”
Elder Wang was somewhat panicked.
He originally didn’t know how to explain; he had led the team and lost the sect leader’s true disciple.
Hearing Yu Xu Zi’s words now, he suddenly remembered that the matter of over a hundred Deity Transformation Stage cultivators perishing hadn’t ended yet.
Every Deity Transformation Stage elder represented an immortal sect behind them; their Qingwang Sect, with its small arms and legs, couldn’t withstand the dissatisfaction of so many immortal sects.
“Are you mute? Speak!”
Elder Wang was completely numb; he didn’t dare to take such a big blame.
He weighed his words and said woodenly: “Uh… it’s Lu, Lu Bai, after all he’s still young, hot-blooded, and accidentally took out all those fellow daoists from the immortal sects.”
“…”
Yu Xu Zi was silent for a long time.
After a while, he said irritably: “Impressive, and ‘accidentally’? He doesn’t know better, but don’t you? At the Dao Commencement Assembly, spellcasting battles among the younger generation inevitably have casualties, but this is way too many, isn’t it?
Could it be that every immortal sect had disciples taken out by him? Those who don’t know might think our Qingwang Sect is from the demonic path.”
Yu Xu Zi paused, “Sigh, whatever, what’s done is done. I’ll go think of a way to smooth things over; at least on the surface, we’re in the right.”
Elder Wang suddenly interrupted Yu Xu Zi’s sound transmission.
He said somewhat difficultly: “Sect Leader, that… the immortal sect fellow daoists I mentioned are my fellow daoists.”
“What do you mean your fellow daoists; the various immortal sects of Xuanzhou are one family, everyone is a fellow daoist…”
Yu Xu Zi’s sound transmission abruptly cut off.
It quickly reconnected: “Holy blessed longevity Immeasurable Immortal Venerable, say that again! Who did that kid take out?!”
With a broken jar broken attitude, Elder Wang directly said: “All of them; Lu Bai took out all the leading elders from the immortal sects.”
“…You’re not joking with me, are you?”
“The other immortal sects wouldn’t be joking with you either, right?”
“No, how did he dare? Where did he get that ability?”
“How would I know? Anyway, his cultivation realm inexplicably reached the Mahayana Stage, and with one move he took out over a hundred Deity Transformation cultivators.”
“Hm? Mahayana Stage?”
Yu Xu Zi’s panicked emotions calmed down like a face change upon hearing the three words Mahayana Stage: “Is it real?”
If it were slander or something, there might still be panic, grievance.
But now they truly had a weapon of mass destruction, so what was there to fear.
“In that case, Elder Wang, return to the sect as soon as possible with the Grand Elder, and we’ll discuss a plan to deal with it.”
“Where does our Qingwang Sect have a Grand Elder?” Elder Wang was stunned.
Yu Xu Zi said without thinking: “Of course it’s Elder Lu; from now on, he is our Qingwang Sect’s Grand Elder.”
Hearing this, Elder Wang suddenly felt his teeth ache: “If, I mean if Elder Lu has already feather ascended?”
Yu Xu Zi: “…”
…
Crack~
On the human-shaped charcoal covered by rubble, cracks appeared on the surface, with a few arcs of electricity still jumping occasionally.
Lu Bai somewhat difficultly lifted his arm, emitting fine crackling sounds.
He indeed had not perished under the lightning tribulation, but he also had not passed the lightning tribulation.
In fact, when the heart demon tribulation appeared, he realized he absolutely could not continue.
Not to mention immortal artifacts or immortal methods, he was still far from even controlling his own power.
His foundation was too shallow; that was not a lightning tribulation he could pass right now.
Based on this, while his consciousness had not yet fully sunk, he decisively self-severed a slash, cutting down his own realm.
No longer at the Mahayana Stage, naturally there was no talk of ascension to immortality; with the lightning tribulation losing its target, it was not strange for it to dissipate into thin air.
Splash~
Feeling he had recovered enough, Lu Bai abruptly stood up, shook off the charcoal from his whole body, then summoned water vapor to rinse himself.
“Alright, let me see how much time has passed.”
