Chapter 104: A Vast Expanse of Calamitous Clouds 12 Li_3
Feeling such terrifying Qi Blood Power, even the Divinity Transformation Realm Supreme Elders changed color one after another.
"This kid, he's truly terrifying! He actually completely absorbed the power of the Heavenly Thunder and used it for Body Refinement!"
"His Qi Blood Power is like huge waves crashing down, like a wild beast! It was already enough that this kid reached Great Success in Sword Intent Cultivation and had amazing Cultivation talent, but damn it, he has even reached this level of Body Refinement?! Is there no justice in this world?!" Qi Ling roared angrily.
Next to him, Elder Xuan glanced at Qi Ling and spoke in a low voice, "Are you talking about justice to an ancient demon that caused a Golden Core Tribulation, even a tribulation comparable to that of an outstanding Nascent Soul prodigy? Have you lost your mind?"
Qi Ling opened his mouth but didn't know how to rebut.
If even Divinity Transformation cultivators were so shocked, not to mention the Nascent Soul Elders.
Most of the Nascent Soul Elders from Ling Luo Peak were here, and at this moment, they all looked at Lu Yi with their eyes wide and tongues tied.
Dong Wanglian's hand that held the folding fan stiffened, and he said in shock, "This physical body is simply like a divine demon progeny! I actually feel a hint of a threat to my life from this kid!"
"My goodness... Is there no justice in this world? A few years ago, when this kid joined the peak, I was still thinking about becoming his Master." said a burly old man next to him, revealing a smile.
Just then, he felt a gaze upon him and looked up to see the Ling Luo Peak Master silently giving him a glance. The old man immediately stiffened, smiled sheepishly, and didn't dare to speak.
The beautiful and alluring Nascent Soul Elder looked at Lu Yi, who radiated vibrant blood energy from his robust body, and couldn't help but be a bit mesmerized, a trace of fascination appearing in her eyes as she murmured to herself, "...Being able to become this young fellow's Master might not be a bad thing at all. His physique is really strong..."
Meanwhile, from a distance, the Outer Sect Elders and Stewards had also come over to enjoy the excitement.
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were among them.
However, at this moment, the aura around the two had already reached the Golden Core Realm. Over the years, Lu Yi would return home every year for the New Year celebration, and when he had free time, he would also pay a visit, bringing back some resources for Old Lu and his mother.
The two of them originally didn't have particularly good talent, but with the accumulation of vast amounts of Centennial Spirit Dew and Millennium Spirit Dew, even mediocre talents could become geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people.
Having already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm years ago, and with such a strong supply of resources, they had no intention to break the Heavenly Tao Limitation and naturally progressed to the Golden Core Realm.
Having reached the Golden Core Realm, the two were personally invited by Wu Qingfeng to re-cultivate in the Inner Sect, but unfortunately, they were accustomed to life in the Outer Sect and thus stayed on in the Affairs Hall, becoming Elders there.
At their side was Qi Feiyu, the Elder in charge of the Outer Affairs Hall, and Dugu Fang, the Grand Outer Elder, along with other Outer Sect Elders.
These Elders subtly gathered around Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, and even the position of Dugu Fang wasn't as prominent as theirs, showing their status in the Outer Sect.
Qi Feiyu gazed at the distant Lu Yi, who had absorbed the Heavenly Thunder, with eyes nearly popping out, his gaze flickering continuously, and said in shock, "Such Heavenly Thunder would normally turn me to ashes in an instant, but Lu Yi actually absorbed it directly!"
Next to him, Dugu Fang was equally astounded and exclaimed, "Such power of Qi Blood! Even standing this far away, I can feel the waves of heat. The little fellow from the Qi Cultivation Realm, in just a few years, has grown into such a monstrous character... Junior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Wang, you've raised a good son indeed."
The other Elders all agreed vigorously, nodding their heads in unison.
Originally, Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were a few generations younger than them, but now that both had broken through to the Golden Core Realm and were addressed as senior brother and sister, it didn't seem too jarring and even brought them closer.
Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi were equally astounded in their hearts.
Lu Yi's name as an Immortal Seed was well known in the Outer Sect; they knew Lu Yi was extremely powerful but did not have a concrete notion of it.
When Lu Yi returned home, he was just like before, cheerful and playful, still getting lectured by Wang Siqi and taught lessons by Lu Gaoyang.
Now, seeing Lu Yi facing the tribulation, they finally had a concrete sense of his strength.
Lu Gaoyang's eyes nearly popped out as he murmured softly, "My goodness… I always knew this kid was fierce, but I never expected him to be this extreme?!"
Meanwhile, Wang Siqi felt a surge of emotions, but she smiled at Dugu Fang and Qi Feiyu, saying, "The two Senior Brothers flatter us too much. We weren't able to help Yi'er all that much. It's his own astonishing talent that's brought him to this level of strength... if anything, he's the one who often helps us, his parents."
Thinking about the resources that Lu Yi brought back each time, Wang Siqi's heart was still tremendously shocked.
Such resources could drive a Golden Core cultivator mad, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be envious.
Stroking his beard, Dugu Fang had a warm smile on his face as he gently said, "This is also due to Junior Brother Lu and Junior Sister Wang's own good fortune and destiny."
The others nodded as well, feeling quite envious in their hearts.
If they had a son like Lu Yi, they'd do anything for him.
Watching the thunder in the clouds regathering, Wang Siqi expressed her concern, "I hope Yi'er can successfully cross the tribulation."
Even though she was well aware of Lu Yi's strength, as a mother, Wang Siqi couldn't help feeling some worry.
The others also offered their reassurances, their words filled with genuine warmth and affection.
While they were conversing, another bolt of lightning formed within the clouds and struck down.
This bolt was stronger than the last, but Lu Yi's physical body had also grown stronger than before; still, such lightning could not harm him.
Lu Yi remained in deep contemplation, drawing upon the power within the heavenly thunder, meditating on the power of destruction it contained as well as the Thunder Intent, constantly refining his own cultivation skill.
Soon after, the third bolt of heavenly thunder fell, but Lu Yi remained unmoved, treating the heavenly thunder as nothing, completely immersed in his own meditation.
The group of cultivators had grown numb to the spectacle.
Qi Ling couldn't help but speak out, "I have lived for thousands of years and have never seen anyone cross the Heavenly Tribulation like this. To cross it with his physical body is one thing, but why does this kid always have a sudden enlightenment every time? His body has become several times stronger than before, each lightning strike seems to follow the same pattern! Today has truly been an eye-opener."
Wu Qingfeng, on the other hand, laughed, "I once wandered through the Southern State and saw a young cultivator with a terrifyingly strong body. His strength was formidable, and he too used his body to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, refining himself in the process. However, he was crossing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, incomparable to Kiddo Lu."
Elder Ming shook his head and chuckled, "It's no comparison. Kiddo Lu meditates and improves his own Body Refining Techniques amidst the tribulation. By now, that Body Refining Technique has probably reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, hasn't it?"
Hearing this, everyone was temporarily at a loss for words.
A cultivator just entering the Golden Core Realm developing a Body Refining Technique of the Divinity Transformation Realm would sound insane to anyone else.
While everyone was talking, the clouds of heavenly thunder dispersed after three strikes, revealing a clear sky.
Lu Yi awoke from his moment of enlightenment, his eyes flickering with traces of thunder.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, his qi and blood settling down as his body calmed.
At this moment, he had finally and thoroughly broken through to the Golden Core Realm.
The thought of the task reward for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm made Lu Yi's lips curve up into a smile, filling him with joy.
At the Foundation Establishment Thirteen Layer, Lu Yi naturally issued a task for himself to break through to the Golden Core Realm, the reward of which was so generous that even he was astonished.
