"He should have made great progress in the past twenty years. I remember you once told me that his soul left his body during cultivation and he ascended to heaven in broad daylight. He must have gained great enlightenment at that time."
Tian Xingzi's words sounded indifferently. He did not believe that Zhang Ming could hide anything under the personal test of Xing Ming. Otherwise, if he could deal with a foundation-building cultivator in this way, then Xing Ming's strength in the late Jindan stage would be a joke.
Xing Ming suppressed the shock in his heart, and finally felt that what his uncle said was right. He had personally tested it, and if he couldn't even test out a small foundation-building aptitude, he might as well find a piece of tofu to hit himself to death.
Although he and Tian Xingzi were very experienced, their sect still lacked foundation. They could not even think of the world's top magic arts like "Guishui Sutra" and "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
"Uncle Master, his body-refining technique should have been passed down for a long time!"
Seeing that Zhang Ming shattered the first heavenly tribulation with just one punch, and that the power was far beyond any initial heavenly tribulation they had seen before, Xingming's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly said this.
Tianxingzi on one side did not have any interface, but his eyes were narrowed into a slit.
How could he not see the power of Zhang Ming's body training skills? He used to think that Zhang Ming was born with a strong body, otherwise he would not have chosen to embark on the path of physical training.
This path of cultivating immortals is much more difficult than their path of practicing magic. Not only is the process of cultivation extremely painful, but the chance of advancement is also 20% to 40% lower than that of practicing magic. This probability is already extremely scary.
Therefore, all those who practice physical cultivation must be people with this kind of talent, just like those with strong spirits. Practicing puppetry is like a blessing from heaven, and it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, "Falling Star Valley" is a lineage of Dharma practitioners who practice alchemy and refining weapons, so if it is not a top-notch body-refining technique, Tian Xingzi and the others would not be interested. But now it seems that they have made a mistake.
“His blood essence and body-refining techniques are both excellent treasures, but the initial power of this heavenly tribulation is so great that he may not be able to withstand the subsequent heavenly tribulation.
Judging from the power of the first heavenly tribulation, there is an 80% chance that he will die..."
Tian Xingzi's heart was filled with more waves. He thought a lot at once, but the result made him feel extremely regretful.
If Zhang Ming was reduced to ashes in the heavenly calamity, then there was no need to think about anything else. At most he could only obtain some remaining "essence of calamity".
"Thirty tribulations for forming a pill are small tribulations, and eighty-one tribulations for forming an infant are big tribulations. His first one is so powerful, and the power of each subsequent one will become stronger and stronger..."
Tian Xingzi thought about the situation when he was undergoing the tribulation. If he were to bring about such a tribulation, he calculated that with his cultivation level at that time, he could only withstand thirteen at most, and then he would be blasted to pieces without leaving anything behind.
Therefore, he was not optimistic about Zhang Ming's tribulation this time. The other party's physical body was only comparable to that of an early Jindan cultivator, and such a physical body could not withstand the subsequent heavenly tribulation that he speculated.
"Only the legendary 'Hidden Dragon Blood' can trigger such a catastrophe!"
At this point, Tian Xingzi no longer thought that Zhang Ming had reached the eighth level or above in foundation building.
Just after the lightning exploded, heavy rain began to fall between heaven and earth. The rain was driven by the wind, and the wind was driven by the power of thunder, and the rain fell from the sky in beads.
Two or three more thunder explosions followed, each one more ferocious than the last. Each strike carried the power to destroy the world, and the area within a thousand miles was shaking continuously.
Those low-level cultivators had already retreated back into their houses in fear and activated the restrictions of the formation. Even Zhu Luomu and others in the distance were terrified and retreated dozens of miles.
"Who is that? How can he be so powerful?"
Someone spoke in a stammering voice. At this time, they had retreated to the edge of most people's spiritual awareness, and the unobstructed sky was not as clear as what they could see with their own eyes.
Vaguely one could see a man who didn't even use his magic weapon, but just faced the oncoming calamity with punch after punch.
Few people here have seen a heavenly tribulation, so they don’t know how terrifying the heavenly tribulation brought about by Li Yan is. From what they can see, it seems normal.
But the aftermath that spread out from the core has made these people feel fear and despair. The power of the aftermath that came from afar alone has made many people dazed.
And at this moment, a voice sounded in the hearts of all the foundation-building cultivators.
"The Heavenly Tribulation of Forming a Core is not the same for everyone. Each person's Heavenly Tribulation is only triggered by your own strength. If your strength is insufficient, even if you want to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation of this power, it is simply impossible to do so.
Giving you the opportunity to watch others overcome the tribulation does not mean that you should only look at the power of the tribulation, but to see how others overcome the tribulation and what the process of the tribulation is like.
It will allow you to comprehend the power of heaven and earth, understand the path of cultivation now, and lay a foundation for your future tribulation. I hope you will understand all of this well."
Xing Ming's words resounded in their minds at the same time, like the sound of a huge bell, awakening many of the already dazed disciples.
The Star Moth in the distant sky had already sensed the disciple's wavering mind, and secretly said, "Not good!"
It is a rare opportunity for a sect to allow its disciples to watch others transcend tribulation.
However, the heavenly calamity brought about by Zhang Ming, instead of helping others, began to sow shadows and evil thoughts in the hearts of many people. Xing Ming saw that the situation was not good and quickly shouted out to rebuke them.
Zhu Luomu and some other people with strong wills were the first to wake up.
"I was actually shaken by this person's power of transcending tribulations and almost destroyed the foundation of my cultivation. I am really ashamed!"
"Senior Brother Zhu knows this person. Who in the valley is better than you in realm and has triggered the pill tribulation first?"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded beside Zhu Luomu's ears. It was Feng Tao who arrived later, and other foundation-building cultivators who came from other places like her.
There are eight people in total. At this moment, all the foundation-building cultivators in "Falling Star Valley", except those who are away or in seclusion, have basically arrived here.
After Feng Tao successfully built his foundation, he no longer called the other party "Master!" This is also the most common thing in the world of immortal cultivation, so Zhu Luomu didn't care about it. On the contrary, people felt that Lin Xinghe and Xing Ming's address to Tian Xingzi was a bit awkward.
Cultivators pay attention to their state of mind, and there is nothing wrong with calling each other by name as long as both parties agree. Just like Zhao Min was accepted as a disciple by Shanggong Changge, who was at the Nascent Soul stage when she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, more than 80% of the immortal cultivation sects use realm to determine seniority, which is very different from the immortal cultivation families. Immortal cultivation families are more based on bloodline, and the seniority basically remains unchanged throughout life.
"Oh, it's Junior Sister Feng. I can't be sure about this person. At such a long distance, how can my spiritual consciousness dare to probe into the center of the heavenly tribulation!"
Zhu Luomu was telling the truth. Although he had some guesses, he was not sure about Zhang Ming who caused the catastrophe. Secondly, the catastrophe covered a wider area this time, so his consciousness did not dare to detect the center of the catastrophe.
If he was not careful, his consciousness would be instantly annihilated by the heavenly tribulation, and his sea of consciousness would be damaged. Therefore, before, the consciousness of these people only dared to wander outside the edge of the heavenly tribulation.
Zhu Luomu was also very curious about Zhang Ming's real information, but Xingming had sealed up some of the information and only asked him to pay attention to whether the other party had come out.
Zhang Ming never came out after he went into seclusion. Zhu Luomu was curious and kept guessing about his identity. Later, he used his power to secretly investigate.
It was discovered that apart from the disciples who died in the battle, only six disciples disappeared for no reason, and Zhang Ming was one of them.
Among the six people, he probably guessed that the identities of the other five were problematic and should have been secretly eliminated by the master. Only Zhang Ming had a strange origin and an even more bizarre level of cultivation.
For a moment, Zhu Luomu was reminded of many memories by Feng Tao's question...
Feng Tao had no idea what Zhu Luomu was thinking. After hearing the answer, she could only look into the distance again.
She was only in the initial stage of foundation building, and of course her strength was not as good as Zhu Luomu and the others. She could only watch the ant-like figure in the distance with her naked eyes.
However, the monk had amazing eyesight. As long as he did not see through the object, he could still see something vaguely under the strong light of lightning.
"Why do I feel that this person's figure is somewhat familiar..."
Li Yan had already encountered the fourteenth heavenly tribulation at this time, and he had already changed from sitting cross-legged to standing.
Up to this point, Li Yan had taken on thirteen heavenly tribulations with his physical strength alone. His body surface was surrounded by large patches of blue light, and arcs of electricity were constantly jumping and shining.
"There are still seventeen heavenly tribulations left. I have already used 60% of my physical strength. I should be able to take on another ten to eleven with my physical body alone."
Li Yan's well-honed strong body gradually showed its strength at this time.
Covered by a large area of blue light, the pale silver on Li Yan's exposed skin had turned into light silver, and due to the continuous attacks of the heavenly tribulation one after another, the silver had no time to fade away.
Fortunately, the dazzling blue electric arc outside his body had already covered up everything, otherwise Li Yan would have exposed more abnormalities.
The fourteenth heavenly tribulation was not a single attack, but was divided into three paths that came simultaneously, striking directly towards the top of the head, chest, and back respectively.
Li Yan stretched out his arms, and with both hands he drew a circle quickly at his sides, and then suddenly lifted them up.
A strong black airflow with him as the center rose from the soles of his feet and converged above his head in a circle. At the same time, the black circular airflow outside his body rose and continued to spread outwards.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Amidst a series of loud noises, the three strikes of the heavenly tribulation collided with the strong airflow. Li Yan, who was at the center, was like a dazzling blue sun.
With him as the core, the light was dazzling. Li Yan's body was shaking violently in the light, showing that it was extremely difficult for him to take on this heavenly calamity.
The black ring-shaped airflow continued to explode, and the aftermath was still spreading outward.
At this time, above the five spiritual power cauldrons in Li Yan's dantian, the body of the five-colored spiritual python had shrunk by 30%, and its head and tail were connected at a speed as fast as lightning.
As it rotated, the space at the center of the five-colored python's body became smaller and smaller, and began to condense into a solid ball.
"He actually took on fourteen heavenly tribulations. Did his strength improve recently, or did he hide it before?"
Xingming felt the pressure coming from the heavenly calamity, his face became very solemn, and he began to doubt his previous judgment.
"Yes, I also thought that he would be seriously injured in the thirteenth level, but... this one should be his ultimate!"
Looking at the body that kept shaking in the dazzling blue light, Tian Xingzi's eyes also became extremely solemn. In fact, he saw the problem earlier than Xing Ming.
When Zhang Ming took on the tenth heavenly tribulation just now, he had a vague guess that he might be wrong, because the other party's gestures had become much slower.
However, the power of these ten heavenly tribulations was comparable to the twenty or so ordinary Jindan heavenly tribulations, and yet Zhang Ming was still not injured.
Once when he faced the eighteenth heavenly tribulation, blood began to seep out of his skin and he was already injured.
But the power of his eighteen heavenly tribulations was only equivalent to seven or eight of this person's.
"What level of foundation building is he at? This is not something a physical cultivator can show."
Questions kept arising in the minds of the two people. The strength displayed by Zhang Ming was totally inconsistent with his four-element mysterious spiritual roots.
