Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

In the short time that Dong Xi had returned to his cave, many enthusiastic fellow Immortals had replied to him on the jade slip.

[Where did this newbie come from? Only newbies can be so whimsical.]

[You've just started cultivating and you're already thinking of going astray. How can you cultivate properly!?]

[Young people nowadays are getting more and more useless.]

…

Most of them were just preaching, and Dong Xi only saw the real answer at the end.

[Of course there's a way. If you help someone else transcend the Tribulation, you'll have to bear twice the amount. Moreover, the Lightning Tribulation will also strengthen according to the cultivation level of the substitute, so almost no one will help others transcend the Tribulation.]

Look, this person's answer was so good.

That meant that there were still cases of people helping others like this!

Dong Xi even privately messaged this enthusiastic person.

[What would happen if two people were to transcend the Tribulation together?]

This person immediately replied.

[Both of them will suffer the Lightning Tribulation, and the Lightning Tribulation will be judged according to the person with the higher cultivation.]

Dong Xi's eyes brightened. This time, she really understood.

According to the rules of the Immortal cultivation world, only after the Golden Core stage would one encounter the first Tribulation. With Dong Xi's current cultivation level, she was simply courting death by freeloading off other people's Tribulation to temper her body.

However, the power of Tribulation was indeed a shortcut to body-tempering, just that it was more painful.

What should Dong Xi do?

Dong Xi started to think. Her communication jade slip lit up again. Dong Xi came back to her senses and immediately checked it. She saw someone replying to her.

[Fellow Immortal, are you also a mutated lightning spirit root?]

The word 'also' was very subtle, and to be able to ask this meant that this person had a high probability of having a lightning spirit root.

Dong Xi pondered for a moment and did not reply directly. This was the time to show the profoundness of his language.

Dong Xi replied.

[Fellow Daoist, you too?]

The other party replied immediately.

[To be honest, when I saw you ask this, I remembered that when I was young, I also wanted to absorb the power of the Lighting Tribulation to cultivate. For disciples with lightning spirit roots like us, we still have some resistance to the Lightning Tribulation. However, the Lightning Tribulation is very powerful. Even the weakest Golden Core Tribulation, we can't cope with it.]

This Immortal friend's words were pleasing to the eye and had a profound feeling.

Moreover, this statement was in line with Dong Xi's worries. The next round of Immortal friend's words opened Dong Xi's mind.

[Although we can't use the power of the Lightning Tribulation, you can still try the lightning in Lightning Mountain. The strength of the lightning there increases bit by bit from the periphery to the center. It's a great place for us lightning spirit roots. If you have time, you can try it.]

Dong Xi's eyes lit up and she immediately sent a message.

[Fellow Daoist, where do you think this Lightning Mountain is?]

The other party replied quickly.

[Lightning Forest.]

Dong Xi made a mental note of this place. Right now, Dong Xi was still a weak little guy, so it would be better to wait until he reached the third level of Body Refining tier before going to Lightning Mountain.

However, as mentioned in the jade slip before, it was also possible to find a place where it was rich.

Dong Xi sent a message to her Immortal friend.

[I will remember it. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Immortal.]

On the other end of the jade slip, an old man looked at the words of gratitude on the jade slip and stroked his beard in satisfaction.

"After learning how to use jade slips these few days, I've once again helped my little fellow Immortal. The current cultivation world is changing very quickly, especially communication jade slips, which are much more convenient than in the past."

Just as the old man was feeling happy, a child shouted from outside, "The Sect Master has come to see you, Patriarch!"

The Lightning Grandmaster kept the jade slip and said to the outside, "Please come in."

Jiang Huang, the sect master of the Heaven Thunder Hall, walked in from the outside. She cupped her fists at the Thunder Grandmaster and said respectfully, "Jiang Huang Jin greets Old Master!"

"What's the matter?" The Lightning Grandmaster nodded.

"Patriarch," Jiang Huang said with a frown, "In the past few months, 17 of our disciples have died. Now, the disciples are all panicking."

The Lightning Grandmaster felt that something was amiss. There was no war in the cultivation world at the moment, and low-level disciples would not go to dangerous places. How could there be such a high death rate?

"Have you found out the reason?" asked the Lightning Grandmaster.

"I've checked a few times, but I don't have any concrete evidence," Jiang Huang shook her head.

The Heaven Thunder Hall was ranked third among the eight great sects. The eight great sects would hold another sect competition in five years. Then, they would re-rank the sects according to the ranking of their disciples.

This ranking was not only pleasant to hear, but it also determined the number of people each sect could send to the Secret Realm. The higher the ranking, the more people they could send to the Secret Realm.

This kind of Secret Realm was not like the Secret Realm where new disciples went to train. Some of the legacies in Secret Realms had not been passed down to anyone yet. The more disciples that entered, the greater the chance!
