Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 394 The Thunder Tribulation Ends

However, some ghost beasts chose to stay where they were, their eyes flickering with desire for power.

Although these ghost beasts are afraid of the power of thunder and lightning, their greed and desire to become stronger make them try to use this thunder disaster from the sky to enhance their own strength.

They roared softly, as if summoning free lightning, allowing this powerful energy to merge into their bodies and become more powerful.

In the mountains and forests illuminated by lightning, the beasts gathered together, snuggling up to each other and using their collective strength to fight the fear in their hearts.

Their breathing was synchronized and their heartbeats were in unison, as if this could withstand the majesty of thunder and protect each other from harm.

In the villages and towns where the rain was pouring and thunder was roaring, people stood at their windows, clenched their fists, and prayed for their temple spirits.

Their eyes were filled with worry and expectation. They hoped that the temple spirit would be safe and sound in the thunderstorm and continue to protect this land and its people.

Their prayers sounded faint amid the thunder, but they were so firm and sincere, because they believed that as long as they had faith in their hearts, they would be blessed by God.

It is not known whether this is true or not, but Shang Liangshan, who was struck by lightning while undergoing a tribulation, has not moved from the beginning to now.

"This is the thirteenth thunder." The old patriarch murmured.

The old man was initially worried, but then he felt relieved and witnessed nine things.

"There are still twenty-three." Liu Weizi turned his head and said.

My neck felt sore from looking up for too long.

"Why do I feel that Liangshan's seventh-grade thunder tribulation is much more dangerous than the eighth-grade one?" Yihuo asked in confusion.

"Because there are big and small calamities."

"That is to say, the thunder tribulation Liang Shan went through to be promoted to the seventh rank was a big one, but the one he is going through now is a small one."

"That's right." Liu Weizi nodded, imitating Taoist Xuanzhen's words, and said in a calm and deep voice: "The seventh level is a great leap forward in the level of life, a qualitative leap."

“Therefore, the Heavenly Dao will sense this and send down a great thunder tribulation on the evil genius to test the cultivator’s will and strength.”

"This is a test of whether the monks can withstand greater power and control higher levels of life."

He paused when he said this, and his eyes seemed to see through the pouring rain, as if he could see the figures of ancient practitioners struggling in the thunder tribulation.

"And when they reach the eighth level, the cultivators have already gone through the baptism of the seventh level, and their character and strength have greatly improved."

"The eighth level of tribulation is a transition, more of a tempering, a polishing of the inner qualities of the cultivator."

“Therefore, the thunder tribulation is relatively small and no longer as fierce as the seventh-grade one, but it is equally not to be ignored.”

The old clan leaders understood this answer, so they did not disturb him from continuing to pretend to be a great master.

Liu Weizi was getting into the groove, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his tone.

“Therefore, every thunder tribulation is a severe test for the cultivators. It not only tests the cultivators’ cultivation, but also their will and determination.”

“Only by truly experiencing the baptism of thunder tribulation can a cultivator have a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and earth and better master his own power.”

When Yi Jin saw Liu Weizi stroking his beard, he knew that he had no further words, so he clapped his hands and said, "That makes sense. It is like striking iron while it is hot, and striking iron requires itself to be strong."

"..." Everyone frowned when they heard this. How come everything you do is related to blacksmithing? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?

"Boom boom boom" They really didn't dare to curse at people, so Shang Liangshan took the risk of being struck by lightning for them.

The thunder was earth-shaking, but the person who was undergoing the tribulation was as steady as an old dog.

This caused those who were watching the disaster to feel relieved and their mentality changed invisibly.

From being thrilling to watching a catastrophe, you can experience the magnificence and majesty of thunder.

Therefore, there was no inspiring description. When the thirty-six thunders roared and struck, the chapter of overcoming the tribulation came to an end.

A scene of a large group of gentlemen eating and drinking ensued, and even the heavy rain could not extinguish their passion for clinking glasses.

Good brothers, three stars shining, four joys bringing wealth, five top leaders, six great fortunes…

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and gently brushed the eaves of the village, last night's rain had quietly gone away, leaving behind a fresh and tranquil scene.

The morning after the rain is like an ink painting slowly unfolding before your eyes.

The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, mixed with the scent of ripening rice in the distant fields. It is the smell of the earth reviving.

The water droplets on the leaves sparkle with crystal light under the sunlight, like pearls inlaid in nature, quietly telling the story of the night.

In the alleys of the village, the stone roads still bear traces of rain, reflecting the mottled sunlight. Walking on them, you can feel a hint of coolness coming from the soles of your feet, which is the unique coolness after the rain.

Occasionally, a few early birds sing happily on the branches, breaking the tranquility of the early morning, but adding a bit of liveliness and vitality.

The villagers began to get busy, and the smoke from the cooking stoves rose up, interweaving with the morning mist and floating over the village.

The children walked towards the academy with brisk steps, innocent smiles on their faces.

The mountains in the distance appear particularly lush and green under the morning light, and the tops of the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Farmers in the fields began to work, and the plowshares crossed the moist soil, sowing the seeds of hope.

In the early morning after the rain, everything in the village looks so fresh and beautiful.

On such a morning, the soul seems to be cleansed, making people involuntarily slow down their pace and feel this gift from nature.

However, even in such a beautiful scene, there were a few old men who did not return home at night. When they saw the wives coming, they had no intention of watching. They could only smile and look at Liu Weizi and exclaimed: "My way is free and unrestrained!"

"Xiaocao, Xiaocao..." The old patriarch's voice, waking up from a drunken sleep, rang out from within the Forgotten Temple.

"Chief, stop shouting. The second brother has gone to the underground palace camp." Amidst the bright light, Xiaoli appeared, rubbing his eyes.

"Why is Xiaocao going to the underground palace camp?" the old patriarch asked in surprise.

"Last night, the Wolf Riders took advantage of the Thunder Suppression and did something big."

"What are the casualties?"

"They retreated after one successful strike. There was no close contact and no entanglement, so there were very few casualties."

"It's good that you don't fight recklessly. Is Liang Shan still in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation?"

"Well, the master may not come out until the evening."

"Understood. I'll ask Lao Huo to prepare a feast right away." With that, the old patriarch walked away briskly, leaving behind the little raccoon who rolled his eyes at him.

"Squeak, meow, meow" Xiao Jin and Xiao Li also came out, asking the big sister Xiao Li to take them to play tricks, oh no, to play.

The two guys heard the noise and returned to the old patriarch, who caught them and took them to pick mushrooms, so as not to let them make trouble.
