Chapter 114: Life of All Things

"Is it possible..."

He thought of the Jianmu branch he had sent over before: "Could this kid have some kind of magical technique that allows him to refine treasures by himself?"

Considering Liang Xiao's amazing understanding, this is not impossible.

But how could a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator be able to shake the dead branches of Jianmu?

"boom--"

At this time, the first lightning fell, but was blocked by the mountain protection formation.

The mountain protection formation just trembled, and then there was no reaction.

The red-haired principal breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that unless a spiritual creature of too high a level was born, the power of the spiritual calamity was not too great.

But fortunately, the boy was in Lingxi Mountain. He changed the mountain and could not withstand this kind of natural disaster.

Because the mountain protection formation of Lingxi Mountain is of the lower fifth level, it is difficult to break through easily even if one is in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

At this time, he saw many teachers in the branch school rushing towards that direction, and even a large number of Jindan students flew towards that direction, with deep eyes, and disappeared from the place in an instant.

Outside Lingxi Mountain.

The red-haired principal descended from the sky and with a wave of his hand, a barrier covering the sky separated the entire mountain and blocked everyone's view.

At the same time, his cold voice spread throughout the entire branch cave: "I am refining treasures. Those who have nothing to do should leave immediately."

His voice was like a thunderclap, even suppressing the thunder on Lingxi Mountain and resounding throughout the branch school.

Suddenly, the Jindan Yuanying that were rushing over from all directions stopped.

"It turns out that the principal is refining the treasure?"

"But why would the principal be refining treasures in Lingxi Mountain?"

"It should be to refine a magic weapon for Liang Xiao, right? That's right, that guy has amazing talent. It is said that he made great contributions in the war in Eli City not long ago. Maybe it is a reward for Liang Xiao."

"I'm so jealous. This guy is so favored..."

"Before, the principal rarely came out once every six months, but recently he seems to be running outside every day. He is treated differently!"

"Who made that junior Liang Xiao so talented?"

Upon hearing this, the students in the Jindan stage sighed and turned away.

But those teachers in the Nascent Soul stage are not so easy to fool.

Because at their level, almost everyone knows that spiritual calamity cannot be caused by any spiritual object.

The spiritual tools used by cultivators usually will not cause spiritual disasters after they are refined, even if they are of a very high level.

Only by adding some very rare and precious materials can a spiritual calamity be triggered.

Apart from artificially refined treasures, only the real rare treasures of heaven and earth can trigger spiritual calamity.

Each of those things is priceless and will cause bloodshed.

Although these Yuanying teachers did not go so far as to snatch it away, they were all very curious and wanted to see the true form of the spiritual object and broaden their horizons.

……

On Lingxi Mountain, Liang Xiao naturally also heard the voice of the red-haired principal.

He was secretly grateful, but did not dare to be distracted, and tried his best to maintain the formation to resist the spiritual calamity.

"Rumble--"

At this time, the second thunder tribulation fell, directly causing the formation to tremble and become shaky.

His expression changed slightly immediately, because the power of this second thunder was at least ten times stronger than the first one.

"How could this happen? Mountain Master, this spiritual calamity is not normal..."

Cen Yi said in fear in his heart: "There are usually nine spiritual tribulations, but the power increases gradually. It is impossible for it to increase tenfold all at once like it is now."

"What should we do then?" Liang Xiao frowned secretly.

Cen Yi said: "Spiritual tribulation is different from the heavenly tribulation that humans break through. You can ask outsiders to help fight it..."

Liang Xiao understood instantly and quickly sent a message to the red-haired principal for help.

Outside Lingxi Mountain.

The red-haired principal was also shocked and felt that the spiritual calamity was unusual.

"I actually felt a destructive force. This is not an ordinary spiritual calamity at all!"

Just at this time, he received a call for help from Liang Xiao.

"This kid is quite smart. He didn't waste my support."

As the third thunderbolt was about to fall, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and the barrier he had created before closed directly, turning into a protective barrier covering the entire Lingxi Mountain. "Boom!!!"

Finally, the third thunder fell.

The terrifying power caused ripples to appear in the protective barrier created by the red-haired principal.

At the same time, an indescribable pressure from heaven and earth came down, making everyone in the entire Koro branch feel tremendous pressure.

Those Nascent Soul teachers who had already approached Lingxi Mountain all fell like dumplings under this terrifying pressure.

Within this range, only the red-haired principal can continue to stay in the vacancy.

"boom--"

At this moment, when the third thunder was about to end, a destructive force that made the red-haired principal's heart palpitate broke out.

His face changed slightly and he quickly strengthened the power of the barrier.

"boom!!"

The entire Koro branch cave shook, and in an instant, the huge red barrier collapsed.

But at this moment, the third thunder was completely consumed, and even the thunderclouds in the sky disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Great Dao Spiritual Tribulation? How is that possible?!"

The red-haired principal was shocked: "Three thunderbolts, the second one is ten times more powerful than the first one, and the third one is a hundred times more powerful than the second one... Is this the legendary Great Dao Spiritual Tribulation?"

His eyes flickered and he felt doubtful and uncertain.

The Great Dao spiritual calamity follows the law of [Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things], instead of having nine paths like the normal spiritual calamity.

This kind of spiritual calamity can only give rise to all things after withstanding the third thunder calamity. Otherwise, all things will be destroyed by the thunder calamity.

However, only people at his level know a little about this kind of spiritual tribulation.

This kind of spiritual calamity has never occurred on Earth in more than two hundred years.

He also found out by chance.

In the world of cultivation, this kind of spiritual calamity is also known as the [Tao Fruit Calamity].

Some people even call it [Divine Tribulation].

Because according to that legend, only the birth of a divine object will trigger this kind of spiritual disaster.

"What kind of treasure did this kid come up with? Could it really be a dead branch of Jianmu?"

The red-haired principal frowned, sensing that the Yuanying teachers were flying towards this side excitedly. His eyes turned cold and his strength suddenly burst out.

"boom--"

A blood-red moon rose, covering half of the sky above the Koro Branch Cave.

An indescribable force descended and directly imprisoned these teachers one after another.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable force descended and directly erased the memories of these teachers and even all the students in the entire Koro branch who had witnessed this spiritual calamity.

This all happens in just a moment.

Everyone just felt dazed for a moment, and then nothing happened.

"What's going on? Why did the principal suddenly perform a vision?"

Teacher Qingfeng looked at the slowly disappearing blood-red moon with a puzzled look on his face.

The other teachers were also a little puzzled.

"By the way, what are we doing here?"

"Oh, yes, I remember now. The principal invited us here to discuss the quota for the Golden Core Cave."

"But why did you come to Lingxi Mountain to discuss this?"

"It should be because of Liang Xiao, but is Liang Xiao qualified to explore the Golden Core Cave now?"

These teachers seemed to have forgotten even the spiritual tribulation, and an extra memory appeared in their minds out of nowhere.

……

Seeing that the spiritual calamity was blocked, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He also didn't have time to guess why there were nine spiritual tribulations in the legend, but there was no more after the third one.

Because at this moment, earth-shaking changes are taking place in Cen Yi's Dantian.
