Volume 12 is missing Chapter 37: Sword of God
"The place of heavenly punishment?" Zang Xiaojian uttered a place name that sounded complicated, which made Lu Qingshan's heart move slightly.
Mingyu nodded slightly, looked up at the top of the mountain, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
"You two, follow me."
Mingyu led the way in front. This time they did not take the road away from the city, but even went in the opposite direction, heading deeper into Jingjian City.
Mrs. Ming was naturally familiar with her own city. After going around in circles, she brought Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian to the foot of a lime cliff.
The moment he saw the cliff, Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
Because, in the cliff, there is a steep path leading upwards.
This is a hiking trail!
Jingjian City was built against the mountain, on a protruding platform on a big mountain.
At this time, all roads leaving the city were blocked, but the way up the mountain was unobstructed - anyone could see that the power of thunder at the top of the mountain was terrifying, and no one could approach it easily, let alone block the top of the mountain.
Unless the thunder is extinguished first.
At this moment, the path Mingyu took Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian to was this hidden mountain climbing path.
Above the path, thunder would occasionally fall from the top of the mountain, causing a roar.
Mingyu didn't explain any more and stepped directly into the thunder-filled mountain road.
Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian hurriedly followed.
The thunder in the sky instantly completely obscured the figures of the three of them.
One after another, flashes of lightning appeared, and roars of thunder exploded in their ears.
Buzz!
A lightning snake flew over, it was made of lightning, with its fangs and claws bared, circling and rushing towards the three people.
There is no doubt that it is extremely powerful, but it does not contain the power of robbery.
So Ming Yu didn't take it seriously. With a thought, the Dharma domain expanded, just covering the three of them.
The lightning snake splashed arcs of electricity outside the law domain, and was unable to enter.
For a cultivator in the Ninth Realm, thunder that does not contain the power of heavenly punishment is not worth mentioning at all.
Mingyu protected the three people with his magic domain and rushed to the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
"We're almost there. It's much more dangerous up there, so you better be careful." Mingyu reminded in a low voice.
In fact, Lu Qingshan was already terrified without Mingyu's reminder.
After taking a few more steps, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they were already at the top of the mountain.
The space on the top of the mountain is extremely vast, but it is also surrounded by thunder, the number of which is countless.
These thunders were majestic and unparalleled, erupting with unparalleled power. The violent vibrations they produced made the three of them feel as if they were about to be crushed into pieces.
Lu Qingshan was extremely stunned. With a look of shock, he looked at this real Jedi in great surprise.
This place seems to be the end of the world, or like a bottomless abyss, chaotic and primitive.
In addition, there was lightning that kept coming from high above.
These lightning bolts are unusual, and each one contains the power of calamity.
Although most of the contained calamity power is very weak and not worth mentioning, but "a mother is honored by her son", and with the blessing of the calamity, it is upgraded from ordinary thunder to calamity thunder, becoming more extraordinary and worthy of praise.
Every high-level cultivator should have a deep understanding of the horror and power of thunder.
However, there are so many thunders lingering here, which makes the space here very unstable.
It can be clearly seen that this piece of void is full of twisted and broken cracks.
Most of these cracks were filled with lightning, so even with the inherent stability of the Heavenly Dao, they could not be healed.
The entire area looks like a piece of porcelain that was broken into pieces and then pieced together with crude techniques.
At this moment, huge bolts of lightning were flying out from far ahead, then exploding in the void, bringing destruction.
"That is..." Lu Qingshan subconsciously looked in the direction where the lightning came from. Then his pupils dilated and he could not believe his eyes.
Wherever his sight reached, there were streams of light, so bright that one could hardly look directly at them.
All of these streams of light were transformed from thunder, just like raindrops, pouring down from the invisible sky, crackling, falling continuously, it was really too dense.
And at the center of these flowing lights is a sword suspended in the air, which is brighter than the flowing lights!
Yes, it's a sword!
A purple sword.
It is not a purple that is close to black, but a purple like the starry sky.
Deep, unknown and fascinating.
The material of the sword is extremely simple, but it emits the brightest light, triggering the most terrifying thunder in the world.
Most of the thunder lingered around the purple sword, and a few spilled out and flowed around.
"Sword?" Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Since you have seen it all, there is nothing to hide," Ming Yu sighed and explained hastily, "That sword is what my Tibetan family has guarded for generations."
No wonder the ancestors of the Tibetan family used swords as island weapons and named their ancestral city Jingjian City... In addition to the offensive properties of the sword, the more important reason should be this purple sword.
"We don't know its name, we call it the Robbery Sword."
"The Tribulation Sword will continuously draw and gather the power of Tribulation Thunder. Over the years, the accumulated power is too strong and will overflow. As a result, Lingye Island is surrounded by thunder all year round, and the space around it is distorted and shattered, and space cracks appear, forming this land of heavenly punishment."
"In addition to the thunder outside Lingye Island, the thunder power drawn by the monks on the island when they forge swords is also taken from this sword."
"This is an absolutely forbidden area for our Tibetan family. The reason why our ancestors built Jingjian City on this forbidden land is because only in this way can we ensure that the Jie Sword is under our noses and ensure that no one else will break into the Land of Heavenly Punishment when they are not prepared."
"These space cracks generated by the power of the Robbery Sword are random and unknown. No one knows where the other end is. So even people like us in the Tibetan family will not try these space cracks..."
At this point, Ming Yu looked at Zang Xiaojian with complicated eyes, and then continued: "Back then, Xiaojian was naughty and curious about the Land of Heavenly Punishment, so she pestered her father to take her to this forbidden land. Then when she really arrived here, she had an accident because of her low cultivation level, and was accidentally involved in one of the newly formed space cracks. That's how she accidentally drifted from Lingye Island to your human territory, and ran into you."
Another unsolved mystery has been solved.
It seems that only this reason can explain why the eldest daughter of the Changsheng family, who lived far away in the Tianhe Sea, appeared alone in the South China Sea of the Cangqiongtian when her cultivation was low.
boom!
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck Lu Qingshan, extremely abruptly.
Lu Qingshan's face changed slightly because he could feel that the power of this thunder was too strong.
As soon as he thought about it, sword energy and golden light appeared around his body.
Sword World and Dust-free Room!
His two major means of self-defense were used at the same time.
Squeak!
Even though the thunder was extremely powerful, if it were an ordinary creature, it would probably be turned into charcoal by one blow. Even Lu Qingshan felt a little threatened, but that was all.
The sword energy around him was sharp, and lightning flew and hit his body, causing a violent collision. It was finally eliminated by the sword energy. The overflowing strands of lightning were also intercepted by Dou Shi Wu Chen and could not cause any harm to Lu Qingshan.
But Lu Qingshan's expression did not become relaxed.
Because he could clearly sense that this thunder was not an ordinary thunder. It actually contained a much stronger force than other thunders in the surrounding area.
This is a thunderbolt!
Moreover, in the void, a truly terrifying thunder tribulation is brewing.
"The 59th Heavenly Tribulation for a 4th Tribulation cultivator!" Ming Yu's perception was extremely sharp. He noticed the abnormality at the first time. His pupils suddenly dilated. He looked at Lu Qingshan and said quickly: "This position should be a safe position and will not be hit by the Tribulation Lightning. Look, Xiao Jian and I were not attacked. The reason why you were attacked by the Tribulation Lightning is not because of bad luck, but because your cultivation has already reached the peak of the 4th Tribulation. You can attract the 59th Heavenly Tribulation at any time, but you have been suppressing it by force."
"Your foundation is so profound that it is unmatched by ordinary people, so it is not difficult for you to suppress your cultivation. However, in this place, it is an exception!"
It's like a person who has to go to the bathroom urgently. He can still rely on his willpower to endure it for a while, but if there are toilets everywhere, it will be difficult to endure it.
Lu Qingshan had a lot of pain in his heart but couldn't express it.
In fact, after that exchange with Chu Mushen in Tianhe City, he had already completed the advancement task and was ready to overcome the fifty-nine heavenly tribulations and officially advance to the fifth tribulation realm.
However, Tianhe City is not as good as Yumen Pass after all, and it is not his territory. Lu Qingshan felt that it would be a shame for him to do something ridiculous like transcending the tribulation in Tianhe City.
He had originally planned to break through as soon as he returned to Yumen Pass, but because of the disputes among the Taoists, he voluntarily chose to go to Tianhe Sea to solicit external aid.
After leaving Tianhe City, he took into consideration that the tribulation was of great magnitude and the Tianhe Sea was a chaotic place. For the sake of safety, he did not rashly undergo the tribulation on the Tianhe Sea for fear of causing trouble .
Lu Qingshan could never have imagined that his considerations back then would sow the seeds of disaster now.
Just as Mingyu judged, this place was too strange and a thunderstorm was brewing.
If this continues, the heavenly tribulation that Lu Qingshan has suppressed will completely erupt, and then there will be violent thunder, forcing Lu Qingshan to survive the tribulation.
"We must leave here quickly!" Ming Yu gritted his teeth and said, "These space cracks appear because the force it gathers and pulls is too strong, and the space cannot maintain stability."
"Similarly, space cracks are unstable and change all the time. The same space crack may lead to a paradise one moment, but the opposite exit may become a dead end the next moment."
"So, there is no difference between good and bad space cracks. You two can just pick one of them and walk through it. Whether you live or die depends on your luck." Ming Yu made up his mind, turned his head away and stopped looking at Zang Xiaojian while saying so.
For a cultivator, relying on luck for life and death is the worst possible option.
But now they really have no better solution.
However, Lu Qingshan was not too worried about this.
For him and Zang Xiaojian now, traveling to most places in the world would be as easy as walking on flat ground.
Even if he is unlucky enough to fall into other realms, he can always use the cross-realm magical power of the Nine Netherworld Geomancy Map to pass through the Yellow Springs Realm and return to the Sky.
Although the magical power of crossing the boundary is like a teleportation array and cannot be used in special places such as the Seven Mountains and One Sea, it can be used without any hindrance as long as it is in a normal boundary.
So if you think about it carefully, there is almost no possibility that he and Zang Xiaojian will be in danger.
Unless he is really unlucky enough to end up in the Demon King's City.
But at this moment, Lu Qingshan's mind was not on this at all.
Lu Qingshan, who had been silent but followed arrangements, now no longer obeys Mingyu's arrangements.
"Madam Ming, the power of the thunder dragon that Master Zang just attracted to restrain the Evil Lord also comes from the Sword of Tribulation, right?" His eyes flickered and he suddenly asked.
Ming Yu, who was planning to return to fight with her husband after sending Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian away, was startled and hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly, "That's right."
"Since we can restrain the Evil Lord by borrowing the power of the Jie Sword, why doesn't Master Zang use this sword to fight?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
It's so powerful just by borrowing its power. If he can control its power, and add Zang Xiu's own combat power, then Xie Zun will no longer be a threat, right?
"Are there any restrictions on holding this sword?" He felt that this was the biggest possibility.
Just like suppressing demons, the sword spirit chooses its master.
Mingyu shook his head subconsciously, and then quickly added, "It's not that I don't have it, it's that I don't know."
"Hmm?" Even Lu Qingshan didn't expect Mingyu to give such an answer.
"We can't get close to it." Mingyu explained.
"There are terrifying rules surrounding the sword of catastrophe. The ancestors of the Tibetan family called it the power of ancient catastrophe, or the power of destruction."
"Ancient Tribulation means transformation into antiquity. Any living being that approaches it will be affected by the power of Ancient Tribulation that cannot be avoided."
"The power of the ancient calamity has the property of destroying all forces, and its nature is always changing. However, based on the many attempts of the Tibetan ancestors, we have concluded that this power of the ancient calamity will only destroy one of the three: the physical body, cultivation, and the soul, and it will always target your strongest point."
This sounds more like a test.
Lu Qingshan said in his heart.
The physical body, the soul and the cultivation are the three major sources of power for all living beings in the world.
No matter how the practice system changes, it cannot go beyond the scope of these three.
The power of ancient calamity will only choose one out of the three, and it always picks the strongest one, which must be intentional.
Ming Yu continued, "The closer you get to the Tribulation Sword, the stronger the power of the Ancient Tribulation will become."
"There were Tibetan ancestors who tried their limits and wanted to get closer to the Jie Sword, but they didn't dare to move forward before they were halfway through. Once they reached their limits, if they forced themselves to move forward, they would die on the spot."
“And that ancestor’s cultivation was already at the level of the Venerable Realm at that time, and his physical strength was unmatched.”
"It's pretty clear what this means."
“So, our ancestors left us a conclusion: one of the three, the soul, the body, or the cultivation, must reach the highest level in the world and truly become immortal before one can touch this sword.”
"Over time, even stones can turn into sand."
"So, where does true immortality exist in this world?"
Ming Yu sighed and said affirmatively:
"The Jie Sword is the sword of the gods, and it is definitely not something that a mortal can wield."
