Chapter 166: The Thunder Tribulation Below the Human Immortal
After tidying everything up, Lan Xiaobu quickly returned to Mobei Immortal City.
He knew his time was tight.
It would be best to step into the Void God Realm within a month; otherwise, he would still be in great peril.
Next time he came, he definitely would not be at the Human Immortal Realm.
Lan Xiaobu was worried that before a month was up, people from Nine Continent Mountain might come again.
So, the first thing he did after returning to Mobei Immortal City was to seal it off.
He wrote a line outside the seal: ‘Sealed by Nine Continent Mountain, no one is allowed to approach.’ While the people inside Mobei Immortal City did not know who had sealed it, outsiders who arrived would immediately understand it was the work of Nine Continent Mountain.
Whenever one saw the seal of Nine Continent Mountain, they naturally hurried to avoid it.
After finishing these tasks, Lan Xiaobu finally returned to his lord's mansion and planted both spiritual veins below the spirit gathering formation in the mansion.
Although one of the spiritual veins was meant to be saved for arranging formations on Earth, Lan Xiaobu had no choice at this moment.
If he did not step into the Void God Realm before Nine Continent Mountain realized what was happening, he might never have the chance to return to Earth.
He opened Feng Han's ring, and the contents disappointed him a bit.
There were indeed one hundred thousand top-quality spirit stones, far more than those of Chunyu Liangyong.
But that was all the valuable items he found; the rest were only around two hundred thousand inferior spirit stones, plus some spirit herbs and pills, each in small amounts.
A few martial techniques did not catch his interest either.
If he hadn't gotten a top-tier spiritual weapon spear, Lan Xiaobu might have scolded Feng Han as a miser.
Moreover, Feng Han's ring wasn't even that big, only a few zhang in size, smaller than the one he had received previously.
The most important thing for Lan Xiaobu was to improve his strength.
The circulation was based on the Cosmic Dimension Matrix's Taichuan Technique.
Colorful Immortal Herbs could be consumed anytime, and the Spirit Essence Crystal was also in his hands for cultivation.
Adding the remaining two spiritual veins into the mix, when Lan Xiaobu began his intense training, his cultivation cave was entirely enveloped in spirit mist, and it was of a very high grade.
With top-tier training resources and cultivation techniques, combined with Lan Xiaobu's innate talent, his cultivation level skyrocketed the moment he started.
His primordial spirit rapidly condensed, and his divine sense swiftly expanded.
Even the ancient path in a corner benefited from Lan Xiaobu's terrifying training speed, and the aura of the demonic beasts quickly intensified.
Time flies during cultivation.
A month passed, but Lan Xiaobu did not breakthrough to the Void God Realm.
However, the aura from the ancient path had dramatically increased, indicating a breakthrough to a new level.
Ancient Path was itching to roar in excitement, but thinking of Lan Xiaobu still resting, he could only suppress his thrill and continue training.
...
Today was a significant day for Nine Continent Mountain.
Because the ‘Second Classic’ would arrive at Nine Continent Mountain today, and Nine Continent Mountain reserved the ‘Second Classic’ for three years.
The Western Kunlun Sect, as the recipients of the ‘Second Classic,’ had it for five years.
Since Nine Continent Mountain had compensated the Western Kunlun Sect some treasures, the ‘Second Classic’ arrived before the five years were up.
The arrival of the ‘Second Classic’ at Nine Continent Mountain required the other five Five-Star Sects to bear witness together.
After the three-year reservation at Nine Continent Mountain, the ‘Second Classic’ would be sent to the Three Saints Immortal Sect to stay for another three years.
Mu Yangzhe wore a broad smile, and amid the witnesses from many sects, he received the ‘Second Classic’ handed over by Elder Fengdu from the Western Kunlun Sect.
At that moment, celestial music rang out, and the entire Nine Continent Mountain was enveloped in a harmonious atmosphere.
However, the warning bell of Zhuozhou Peak shattered this pleasant atmosphere.
Mu Yangzhe furrowed his brows.
Such a warning could only sound if there was an external invasion or if an elder at the Human Immortal level had perished.
As he thought about an elder’s demise, Mu Yangzhe's heart skipped a beat.
Such things weren't unprecedented in Nine Continent Mountain; Elder Hu You had been plotted against outside.
Mu Yangzhe scanned the area; he did not see Feng Han.
Feng Han was sent out to eliminate Mobei Immortal City and capture Lan Xiaobu, but recently the focus of Nine Continent Mountain had been on the ‘Second Classic,’ so they neglected Feng Han.
Otherwise, they would have noticed this matter much sooner.
Just as Mu Yangzhe intended to inquire about what was happening, he saw the steward overseeing the soul tokens running over in terror.
A bad premonition emerged in his mind.
Could it be that Feng Han was in trouble again?
"Alliance Leader, esteemed elders, Elder Feng Han's soul token shattered..."
The steward knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"What?" Mu Yangzhe exuded a chilling aura, his presence feeling like the eye of a storm, engulfing the great hall with a freezing intensity.
This was the first time Mu Yangzhe showed such fury, usually characterized by gentle demeanor.
The remaining guests in the hall were secretly shocked.
Mu Yangzhe’s strength, while not quite at the Earth Immortal Realm, was undeniably approaching it.
"When did this happen?" After his rage, Mu Yangzhe calmed down, but the killing intent radiating from him intensified.
"It should have been a month ago..."
The steward stammered.
Mu Yangzhe glared coldly at the steward.
"The soul token shattered a month ago, and you only found out now? What use are you?"
As he spoke, Mu Yangzhe slapped down.
The steward's mouth opened wide, unable to utter any defense.
Yet, he felt immensely aggrieved.
The checks on the soul tokens of the Human Immortal elders were not his decision but mandated by Elder Zou Zheng.
Now that he found out about Elder Feng Han’s soul token shattering, the alliance leader's anger fell upon him, while Elder Zou Zheng said nothing.
But alas, he had no chance to defend himself before being struck down.
Mu Yangzhe calmly stored the ‘Second Classic’ and turned to the crowd, saying, “Our Human Immortal elder Feng Han was schemed against by Mobei Immortal City. I trust everyone knows what’s happening. Mobei Immortal City, a small place gathering scattered cultivators, actually dares to provoke our major sects of Yuan Continent.”
No one spoke.
The guests were not fools.
What do you mean by provoking the major sects of Yuan Continent? It’s merely that Nine Continent Mountain is targeting Mobei Immortal City.
Previously, Nine Continent Mountain had allied with the other five Five-Star Immortal Sects simply because of the ‘Second Classic,’ and incidentally, to eliminate Mobei Immortal City.
But now, Mobei Immortal City had actually managed to kill a Human Immortal elder from Nine Continent Mountain, which made the other sects seriously reconsider their opposition against Mobei Immortal City.
With this level of strength, should they still stand against Mobei Immortal City?
However, not every Five-Star Sect possessed Nine Continent Mountain's courage.
Even the Western Kunlun Sect could only boast three Human Immortal experts.
To claim a single Earth Immortal was merely rumor.
The majority of Five-Star Sects had only one Human Immortal expert.
“Mobei Immortal City has established its own Mobei Martial Academy, letting low-level artifact refineries, alchemists, and talismans disrupt the order of cultivation. Furthermore, those low-tier pills pose a significant danger to cultivators. Not only that, they’ve squandered vast amounts of cultivation resources; our resources on Yuan Continent are already scarce, and now they’re being wasted in large quantities. It won’t be long before we follow the path of the Mortal Realm.”
Mu Yangzhe raised his tone here. “I plan to go to Mobei Immortal City right now, to uproot that place entirely, to bring Lan Xiaobu to justice, and to restore clarity to the cultivation world of Yuan Continent. Elder Yu Yi, Elder Zou Zheng, Peak Master Xue Nie, you will accompany me to Mobei Immortal City. Peak Master He, you will stay back at Nine Continent Mountain.”
After saying this, Mu Yangzhe turned his gaze to the remaining guests present for the ‘Second Classic’ handover.
Elder Fengdu from the Western Kunlun Sect clasped his fists. “We of the Western Kunlun Sect will certainly not lag a step behind in dealing with such ignorant figures who waste Yuan Continent cultivation resources.”
“The Three Saints Immortal Sect will join as well, heading to Mobei Immortal City…”
“Ancient Star Mountain shall follow suit.”
“The Tianyuan Sword Sect supports Nine Continent Mountain.”
“The Blazing Immortal Saber Sect lends its support…”
At this moment, all of the five Five-Star Sects that had come to Nine Continent Mountain agreed with Mu Yangzhe’s proposal.
For them, participating in the destruction of Mobei Immortal City was merely a matter of vocal agreement.
Standing together now was merely for the sake of sharing the ‘Second Classic.’
The lord of Mobei Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu, must possess considerable skills.
Otherwise, how could he have killed Gui Wushou and take down a Human Immortal elder like Feng Han? It was said that Lan Xiaobu was extremely cunning, and Feng Han must have been careless to be plotted against.
This time, Nine Continent Mountain would send four Human Immortal elders; no matter how powerful Mobei Immortal City was, they could just wait for their doom.
...
“Boom!” Violent true essence surged within him.
Lan Xiaobu was taken aback.
Did he absorb too much spiritual energy in his eagerness for success? Was he about to reach a bottleneck and go into a frenzy?
The terrifying aura intensified, threatening to rip him apart at any moment.
Lan Xiaobu hurriedly stopped his cultivation, pulled out the two spiritual veins, and dashed out of Mobei Immortal City.
He could not take any risks; if he truly exploded due to issues in his cultivation, the entire Immortal City would be reduced to ashes.
As for taking out the two spiritual veins, Lan Xiaobu knew full well that if he fell, leaving those two here wouldn’t bring any good.
He did not call for Ancient Path; however, upon seeing Lan Xiaobu rush out of the city, Ancient Path immediately followed.
Thunderous sounds erupted from the lord's mansion, and with the lord seemingly in urgent haste, no one dared to speak.
Everyone in Mobei Immortal City knew something was wrong; otherwise, they wouldn’t be trapped inside the city, unable to leave or even send messages.
Just a few thousand miles beyond Mobei Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu felt a killing intent locking onto him.
Is a Human Immortal expert here? Lan Xiaobu was deeply shocked, quickly pulling out the Void Profound Spear and unleashing his divine sense outward.
Within the range of his divine sense, there were no signs of any Human Immortal experts, but the sky turned dark.
Boom! Several arcs of lightning crashed down, directly aimed at the top of Lan Xiaobu's head.
Lan Xiaobu was momentarily taken aback.
Was this a thunder tribulation? He wasn’t cultivation naive.
After being in Yuan Continent for so long, how could he not know that a thunder tribulation occurs only when a cultivator breaks through to the Human Immortal realm? He hadn’t even entered the Void God Realm, so where did this thunder tribulation come from?
Yet, several arcs of lightning were already descending.
Lan Xiaobu summoned the Void Profound Spear and tossed out the mid-grade spiritual vein.
Regardless if it was a thunder tribulation or not, it was better to prepare.
He could not let the high-grade spiritual vein get obliterated by the lightning arcs.
