"This... How many lightning bolts has it been?"
True Lord Hu Xiao's mouth hung open in shock, his eyes bulging wide.
Everyone present had survived the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation, but shamefully, none of their tribulations could compare to this one.
It was probably the case that in ten thousand years, not many people had ever caused such a commotion.
Moreover, due to the selection, there were quite a few outer - sect disciples of the Beast - Taming Sect at present, and all of them were paying attention to this matter. It wouldn't be long before the news of these two people undergoing the tribulation here would spread across the Nine Desolate Continent.
The young couple, Shen Qing and Li Xian, were about to become famous...
"I counted roughly. It's twenty - eight already..."
An elder said weakly, even doubting if he had miscounted.
Was this a heavenly punishment or a thunder tribulation? With so many lightning bolts, the people would be roasted!
"Although they are not our sect's disciples, let's protect them. These two kids may not be able to withstand it."
True Lord Kun Shan's tone was tinged with worry as he took out a magic treasure and opened a barrier.
The others also nodded and took out magic treasures that could resist the thunder tribulation from their storage bags one after another.
The thunder tribulation was so powerful. They hoped that the two of them wouldn't get into trouble.
Shen Qing continuously channeled spiritual energy into Li Xian's body. She felt that she was almost exhausted. She gasped slightly, and even the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat.
"Shen Qing, that's enough."
Li Xian spoke. When he opened his eyes, Shen Qing was surprised to find that Li Xian's pupils had turned golden, like a clear amber.
"Your eyes?"
Li Xian closed his eyes, and his eyes returned to normal. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I'll explain it to you later. This thunder tribulation must come to an end."
After saying that, Shen Qing could feel that the aura on Li Xian's body became more and more imposing. It slowly climbed from the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the late stage.
Under the coercion of the lightning, Li Xian slowly stood up.
The jade crown on his head had been shattered and fell to the ground, mixing into the mud. His hair fluttered in the wind. His eyebrows and eyes were cold, with a kind of lonely and independent air.
"Sword, come!"
Li Xian called in a deep voice, summoning his sword.
His sword sensed the call of its master and flew over from afar, landing in Li Xian's hand. Li Xian gathered all his spiritual energy on the sword and flew up towards the lightning.
The thunder rumbled, as if the Heavenly Dao was giving its final roar.
This sound could even be heard by those sitting peacefully in the Beast - Taming Sect.
Immortal Huiyan and Du Cang looked at the dark clouds in the distance. Although they were in the crowd, the smiles on their lips could no longer be maintained. Their eyes were full of fear and a hint of dread.
"Is this the child of fate? He has grown to such an extent... That useless Lin Yibai didn't kill him at the first time."
Du Cang's eyes blazed with anger as he gritted his teeth.
Immortal Huiyan gave him a look, and Du Cang immediately lowered his head.
"Watch your mouth!"
The people around were only focused on looking at the clouds in the distance and didn't notice what the two of them were saying.
Hong Zhaoyang and Qi Nian put down the pastries in their hands and couldn't sit still due to worry.
"It can't be Shen Qing again, right? Why does every time she undergo a tribulation seem like a heavenly punishment? I don't know if I should say she's unlucky or lucky," Hong Zhaoyang said bluntly what he felt.
Qi Nian thought: Crude words but true sense.
Suddenly, an expression of disbelief appeared on the faces of the people in the Beast - Taming Sect.
It was seen that the dark clouds in the distance seemed to be suddenly split open. The sunlight broke through, showing a dazzling white light. After the white light flashed, the world returned to silence, leaving only the colorful clouds all over the sky.
Shen Qing watched as Li Xian rushed towards the clouds. After splitting the clouds with his sword, he fell down.
"Li Xian!"
She rushed up quickly and caught Li Xian. But due to exhaustion and the impact, the two of them fell to the ground together.
Li Xian was afraid that he would crush Shen Qing, so he propped up his body and looked at Shen Qing beside him. "Shen Qing? Are you okay?"
Shen Qing opened her eyes and just saw the clouds in the sky dispersing. A beam of light shone on the two of them. This colorful sky was the second time Shen Qing had seen it.
She felt extremely comfortable all over. After forming the Nascent Soul, she truly felt the difference in the world. She could understand the cycle of life and death, the operation of all things, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao more clearly.
"Hahaha, Li Xian, we've successfully formed the Nascent Soul!"
Shen Qing laughed heartily and excitedly hugged Li Xian's neck.
But after waiting for a long time, Li Xian didn't say a word. Shen Qing let go of Li Xian strangely and saw that Li Xian's eyes were dull, his head was lowered, and his face was as red as a tomato.
At this time, Shen Qing just remembered that the two of them had just gone through the thunder tribulation, and their clothes...
She suddenly lowered her head and saw that the collar of her clothes was loose, revealing half of her snow - white skin.
"Ah!"
Before Li Xian could say anything, he was slapped on the head by Shen Qing. But he didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he stupidly touched his face and even pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Qing gathered the collar of her clothes speechlessly and suspected that she had made Li Xian feel good.
The two of them tidied themselves up, smoothed their frizzy hair, and changed into clean clothes. Finally, they looked normal.
Wuwang had been thrown out by Shen Qing when the lightning fell. Now it transformed back into a bracelet and returned to Shen Qing's hand.
"Little disciple, congratulations on forming the Nascent Soul."
Ling Zhou's voice was filled with joy. He was happy for his little disciple.
Shen Qing replied, "Thank you, Master. You should prepare a gift for me."
"Okay, you won't be short of it."
"But I'm warning you. You're only allowed to accept gifts from one master. Don't accept gifts from just anyone."
Shen Qing knew who Ling Zhou meant by "just anyone". She didn't want to have anything to do with them either, so she readily agreed. "I only have one master, so naturally I can only accept gifts from one master. But Yu Xuzi's gifts don't count!"
Ling Zhou raised his eyebrows and replied, "You're just lucky because of Li Xian. You can get good things from Yu Xuzi. You should be偷笑."
Shen Qing heard the jealousy in Ling Zhou's tone and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Xian turned his head and looked at Shen Qing curiously.
Shen Qing shook her head. "It's nothing."
"But... When did you make clothes like mine?"
Shen Qing noticed that the clothes on the two of them were extremely similar in both color and pattern, as if they were made from the same piece of cloth.
Li Xian used to dislike the clothes with big sleeves, but now he was wearing them too.
Li Xian coughed twice awkwardly. "I saw that you looked good in them, so I made an extra set to match yours."
Shen Qing thought for a while and whispered to Li Xian, "Come closer. I... have something for you."
Li Xian obediently lowered his head. Seeing Shen Qing's charming lips getting closer, his breath stopped. He was looking forward to what Shen Qing would do next.
He had once joked that he hoped Shen Qing would give him a kiss after the thunder tribulation.
Shen Qing still remembered...
As Shen Qing's lips got closer and closer, Li Xian felt that time had stopped.
However...
"Hahaha,不愧是 Yu Xuzi and Heng Ling's disciple! So young and already promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. The future is limitless!"
The deep voice of True Lord Hu Xiao came, scaring Shen Qing into pushing Li Xian hard. The two of them were separated by a great distance.
