1835 Coincidence
Chu Liuyue’s eyes narrowed! I had really forgotten about this!
Rong Xiu was right; she had indeed picked up that black shield from a place in Peach Blossom Dock. At that time, she only felt that this thing was very strong and convenient to use. But then she gradually realized that it seemed a little more useful than she had expected.
No, it was more than a little more. Up until now, Chu Liuyue still didn’t know the bottom line of this black shield.
She had experienced so many twists and turns and troubles, many of which were life-threatening. But as long as she took out this black shield, she would never fail.
She was injured, mainly because her body was too weak to withstand it. Even though the black shield had reduced most of the attacks’ strength, some of it would still pass to her. However, this didn’t prove that the black shield wasn’t good.
This was because from beginning to end, it had never really been shattered. Even the most serious damage was just a few scratches.
Shattered? It wouldn’t happen.
Chu Liuyue had once asked her ancestor about this black shield, but the knowledgeable Shangguan Jing couldn’t explain it. Gradually, she put this matter aside.
She had almost forgotten that the black shield was from Peach Blossom Dock!
“If that’s the case… Peach Blossom Dock is definitely not as ordinary as it looks…” Chu Liuyue thought to herself, Be it the black shield or Clear Water Cliff, these aren’t opportunities that could be found in ordinary places. Could it be…
A white light suddenly flashed across her mind. She grabbed Rong Xiu’s hand and asked, “Could it be that the people of Black Sword Sect are staying here because they have already discovered something?”
Rong Xiu paused for a moment. “It’s hard to say.”
After all, they hadn’t fought the other party head-on yet and couldn’t be sure of the exact situation.
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other. “We’ll talk about it when San San comes back from the Black Sword Sect.”
…
Three days passed in a flash.
Early this morning, San San brought the Merge Spirit Herb and headed to the Black Sword Sect alone.
The Black Sword Sect was heavily guarded and never allowed outsiders to enter or leave at will. Therefore, every time he went to deliver something, he would go himself. He was never allowed to bring anyone with him.
Fortunately, this wasn’t the first time he had done this. In addition, his master had already helped him replenish the Merge Spirit Herb, so everyone wasn’t too worried and was busy with their own matters in the residence.
When Cen Yi came to look for Chu Liuyue, she was reading through prescriptions.
“Master, I plan to bring Thirteen out.”
Chu Liuyue looked up from the book. “Today? What’s the matter?”
A faint smile appeared on Cen Yi’s face. “No, Thirteen is preparing to break through. I was afraid that the courtyard would be damaged, so I wanted to bring him out and find a spacious place.”
Realization dawned on Chu Liuyue. Little Thirteen is about to break through to become a stage-seven warrior. With his talent, this God Foreseeing Tribulation will probably cause quite a commotion. Although the courtyard is huge, it can’t withstand the lightning.
Chu Liuyue paused for a moment. “I’ll go with you.”
Coincidentally, I also want to see how talented and strong Thirteen is.
Cen Yi didn’t seem surprised by her decision and nodded slightly. “Okay.”
…
The last thing Peach Blossom Dock lacked was mountain peaks.
Chu Liuyue and Cen Yi brought Thirteen to a remote and quiet mountain.
Rong Xiu and Yan Qing seemed to be discussing something, so they didn’t follow.
Chu Liuyue surveyed the surroundings. She had never been here before.
Although she and Rong Xiu had wandered in Peach Blossom Dock for a long time, the place was too big, and they couldn’t go to every place. Therefore, it still felt very different to her this time.
“Master, Big Brother, I’ll go now.”
Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “Don’t be nervous. We’re all here.”
Her calm and gentle gaze made Thirteen feel relieved. A smile appeared on his lips before he turned and went to the top of the mountain.
On the other hand, Chu Liuyue and Cen Yi stood in the air and stayed around the mountain peak.
Thirteen landed lightly on the top of the mountain.
The young man who was smoking was slender and slightly thin.
The mountain wind blew, sweeping up the corner of his shirt.
He took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. He then closed his eyes and focused, beginning to absorb the surrounding natural energy.
Soon, rich energy began to surge toward him.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky! The faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard!
Chu Liuyue looked over.
Silver lightning was already beginning to appear behind the piled clouds.
Thirteen also has a Tianjing Yuan meridian. I wonder how many he can summon this time…
The number of lightning bolts attracted during the God Foreseeing Tribulation largely indicated the level of strength that cultivators could reach later. Therefore, all cultivators attached special importance to this round.
They didn’t wait long.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck!
Energy surged around the mountain!
Chu Liuyue waved her hand and set up a barrier in front of her, silently blocking the violent energy outside. Now, this bit of lightning power was no longer a threat to her.
Thirteen’s figure was enveloped by the dazzling white light and could barely be seen. However, Chu Liuyue wasn’t worried.
“Cen Yi, with Thirteen’s talent, how many heavenly lightning bolts do you think he can summon?”
Cen Yi was considered half a master to Thirteen. He should know this the best.
Cen Yi pondered for a moment. “Probably—”
Boom!
Right at this moment, a loud bang sounded in the sky on the other side!
Chu Liuyue and Cen Yi both turned around.
At some point, that side had actually been covered by thick black clouds! Moreover, from the looks of it, lightning was about to descend!
“There are still people cultivating here?” Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
It was morning. Moreover, in order to let Thirteen focus on breaking through, they specially ran a long distance and confirmed that this place was remote and quiet enough before choosing to stay here.
They could actually meet someone like this? Moreover, they were also breaking through?
Soon, Chu Liuyue realized that the other party’s formation was even grander than theirs.
“It seems that a high-level cultivator is breaking through…” muttered Chu Liuyue.
Boom!
Silver snake-like lightning descended from the sky!
However, the lightning didn’t land on the peaks of the mountains below. Instead, it seemed to have landed in the canyons of those mountains.
Boom!
Then, there was a second one!
Chu Liuyue was slightly shocked. The speed at which the lightning strikes seems to be abnormally fast.
Cen Yi stared at the sky not far away and frowned slightly.
Seeing his expression, she asked, “Is something wrong?”
Cen Yi nodded and pointed over. “Master, take a closer look. The places where the two lightning bolts landed are different.”
