As a member of a family that cultivates immortality, she has already understood the horrors of heavenly calamity from various classics.
However, when she truly saw the catastrophe in front of her, she realized that all the records in the ancient books had seriously downplayed its true power.
Each tribulation thunder is like a thick electric snake, which can easily tear through the obstruction of various Taoism. Only high-level fairy swords or powerful magic weapons can defeat it.
And there are hundreds or even thousands of such calamity thunders at the same time...
As the calamity clouds got lower and lower, the current snakes became more dense, forcing Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian to retreat again to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the calamity.
The method Xu Changqing used to deal with the thunder was also overwhelmed by more electric snakes, completely disappearing from the sight of the two of them.
"Grandpa, he..." Xu Yinglian asked belatedly.
"Still alive." Qiu Changtian comforted her, "otherwise the catastrophe wouldn't have continued."
"But he seems to be on the verge of reaching his limit, right?" Xu Yinglian said uneasily.
At this time, the two of them had retreated almost twenty miles away, and saw that the calamity clouds in the distance were extremely low, and the surface of the earth was almost invisible in the center of the valley. It had been completely covered by the continuously erupting, hot and golden "lava ocean"
.
In fact, it was a terrifying catastrophe accumulated by almost massive amounts of prime cloud golden light thunder layer upon layer.
Within a few miles of the outer edge of the ocean, all the snow peaks were melted and melted by the huge heat, revealing an almost glass-like brilliant color on the surface, and the ground continued to tremble.
An unknown strong wind blew in the sky, and the heat brought by the catastrophe caused the surrounding air to rise and convulse, causing the two men wielding swords in the air to sway.
Qiu Changtian looked at the ocean in silence, and after a moment of silent calculation, he realized that the scope of this catastrophe was almost comparable to that of a nuclear bomb explosion.
And it's the kind of dense explosions that continuously drop bombs at the target location... Is this the kind of unreasonable thing that I have to deal with when I form the pill to transcend the tribulation?
No, no, no, by the time I get through the calamity of the alchemy, I am afraid that the elixir will have to reach the second level, and the corresponding calamity will probably be unsolvable!
He was thinking with complicated emotions, while Xu Yinglian's eyes widened, staring at the extremely terrifying scene of catastrophe and annihilation of the world.
Do I have any hope of surviving such a horrific catastrophe?
For a moment, her will was wavering, and she couldn't help but glance at the senior brother next to her from the corner of her eye, but she saw Qiu Changtian's handsome side face showing surprise and deep thought, but without any emotion of worry or fear.
Junior Sister Xu immediately seemed to have found a backbone and suddenly regained her confidence inexplicably.
After competing with her senior brother for so many years, she has developed an instinctive reaction that is almost conditioned:
As long as senior brother can do it, why can’t I? I can do it too, and I have to do it even if I can’t!!!
Such an idea does not require any reasonable logic to support it. In short, I may or may not be able to do what my senior brother can't do; but I must be able to do what my senior brother can do! And I want to do it better than him.
So all the worries and apprehensions were transformed into full fighting spirit.
Qiu Changtian didn't know why. He saw that Junior Sister Xu was pale at first, but then her energy suddenly became sharper for some unknown reason. She couldn't help but mutter something in her heart. This Junior Sister was really crazy.
The natural disaster lasted for about three hours. As the clouds of disaster gradually dispersed, the "lava ocean" below also slowly dried up.
A green stream of light shot from a distance, but it was Headmaster Ziwei who rushed here and instantly passed over the two people's heads and flew towards the center of the Thunder Tribulation Valley.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other, then followed suit with their swords.
When they arrived at the center of the Thunder Tribulation Valley, they saw Xu Changqing, who was covered in blood, sitting on the ground, with a purple and black aura on his face, and he was constantly releasing the Universal Voiceless Little Light Technique on himself.
On the ground around him, there are scattered various fragments, magic weapons, flying swords, formation flags... Most of them have been turned into powder under the thunder, and only a few fragments remain, with glowing spirits on them.
Traces of force.
After all, Luo Yan had experience in casting weapons at Tiangongfang. At this time, Qiu Changtian took a cursory look and judged that the number of magic weapons destroyed in the catastrophe was at least fifty.
On the one hand, it reflects the wealth of the Xu family in Tiannan. On the other hand, Senior Brother Xu has used so many magic weapons and flying swords, and he can still be beaten like this by the heavenly tribulation?
Then how many magic weapons should I prepare to survive the second-grade golden elixir tribulation? One hundred? Two hundred? It’s useless if I can’t keep up with the grade...
He was silently calculating in his mind, and saw Headmaster Ziwei perform a few spells, and Xu Changqing's complexion immediately improved a lot.
"Master." Xu Yinglian asked softly.
"He's fine." Headmaster Ziwei said calmly, "It's just that the foundation is seriously damaged. It's not easy to save his life. He needs to retreat for a while."
Xu Yinglian breathed a sigh of relief, while Qiu Changtian looked at Xu Changqing's face and thought to himself that this "some time" must be at least ten years.
"From today on." Headmaster Ziwei turned to Qiu Changtian and pointed at the whisk handle, "You will be the chief disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Disciple is ashamed." Qiu Changtian accepted.
Headmaster Ziwei did not give him a chance to continue being polite. He just waved his hand, then wrapped Xu Changqing in the light of his sword. After saying a few words, he flew towards the direction of Kunlun Tianzhu:
"This matter is over, go to the Kunlun Patriarch Hall to receive the ceremony!"
The sword light disappeared into the sky, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other for a moment, then the junior sister sighed and said:
"Congratulations, senior brother."
"Same joy." Qiu Changtian said reservedly.
As Qiu Changtian becomes the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will be able to receive the treatment of personally answering questions from Master Ziwei, and his understanding of the "Nine Heavens Qingwei Entry Mantra" will make a qualitative leap.
Xu Yinglian and other junior brothers and sisters usually answer questions from Qiu Changtian, so naturally they can get great benefits from it - this is the meaning of the saying "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".
After sending Junior Sister back to Jinling Cave Mansion, Yan Zhitui and others had also received the news and came over to congratulate Senior Brother:
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Qiu for being appointed as the Chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Senior Brother Qiu is now a veritable 'elder brother'."
Qiu Changtian nodded in thanks one by one, chatting and laughing with his junior brothers and sisters.
Xu Yinglian pursed her lips and said nothing, just smiling faintly.
Great-grandfather Xu Changqing successfully survived the catastrophe, and Senior Brother Qiu became the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It can be said that good things came in pairs, and double happiness came to her door, which made her feel extremely happy.
The junior brothers and sisters saw the joy on her face, and some of them were unaware of her relationship with her grandson who had become the first chief. They said to themselves that Senior Sister Xu really cares about Senior Brother Qiu, and they don’t know how far the relationship between the two has progressed...
…
Saying goodbye to his junior brothers and sisters, Qiu Changtian headed to Kunlun Tianzhu with his sword.
According to the sect rules, the chief disciple of this generation is mainly responsible for internal affairs, but the chief disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core Realm has to shoulder some responsibilities for the sect's external affairs, so he needs to be formally received in the Patriarch Hall.
Arriving at the Ancient Kunlun Patriarch's Hall in Yuxu Palace, Qiu Changtian was surprised to see that not only Master Ziwei was here, but most of the Yuanying elders were also here, and even a few guests from the sect who were usually invisible to the dragons.
Shi Ye had already gathered in the hall and was chatting with other elders.
For no other reason than to come here to get to know this newly promoted chief, a rare genius in ten thousand years, a person with a clear Taoist heart!
