Now, without the qualification to trigger the Longevity Thunder Tribulation, he would instantly turn to ashes if he were to come into contact with even a bit of it.
"Heavens, you've struck the wrong person! He's the one who triggered the lightning tribulation!"
Shangguan Zhaixing frantically dodged the lightning tribulation in the sky while screaming hoarsely.
But the thunder tribulation seemed to have singled him out, following right behind Shangguan Zhaixing.
The thunder tribulation did not target the person undergoing it; instead, it became a tool for killing.
This is simply an unheard-of marvel throughout the ages. Even someone as powerful in the demonic path as Shangguan Zhaixing has never heard of such a thing.
But he just happened to become the target of the lightning tribulation.
"Could it be? Could it be that this is actually the method of the Master of the Celestial Pavilion?"
"Or is it that brat Jun Yao causing trouble again?"
I had just gone to retrieve the celestial treasure, but in less than half an hour, this opportunity was snatched by Liu Qiankun.
Moreover, Liu Qiankun's cultivation level was on par with his own. How could Liu Qiankun easily break through the killing formation that even he, Shangguan Zhaixing, couldn't penetrate?
Liu Qiankun must have come this time with the secret key given by the master of the Tianji Pavilion, to unlock the opportunity for immortality with it.
"Who would have thought that the master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion possessed such extraordinary abilities, capable of even controlling the tribulation lightning of heaven and earth."
"Controlling the thunder tribulation... Just how terrifying has the cultivation of the master of the Tianji Pavilion become?"
No matter what, he had to go to the Tianji Pavilion to get a clear answer. The continuous thunder tribulation made it almost impossible for him to completely avoid its attacks with his speed.
The only way to survive now is to flee to the Tianji Pavilion. If the master of the Tianji Pavilion is truly connected to this thunder tribulation, then the thunder tribulation will not follow us to Dragon City.
Behind his head, the terrifying sound of the thunder tribulation made Shangguan Zhaixing's scalp tingle.
He dared not hesitate any longer and tore a rift in the space before him, then slipped through it with a gulp.
When he reappeared, he was already at the top of Dragon City.
Sure enough, the thunder tribulation that had been relentlessly pursuing him ceased its chase upon reaching the borders of Dragon City. After lingering for a moment, it dissipated.
Shangguan Zhaixing swallowed hard. Even though he had narrowly escaped death, he still felt a lingering sense of fear.
He slowly turned his head, looking in the direction of Dragon City: "As expected, this thunder tribulation is deeply connected to the master of the Tianji Pavilion!"
At this moment, on Mount Liangyi, the pale blue figure beside Liu Qiankun gradually expanded, eventually transforming into the phantom of a man dressed in splendid attire.
The man was clad in golden armor, his face stern and resolute. He was none other than the illustrious Southern Saint of Nalin from years past! The Southern Saint of Nalin looked at Liu Qiankun before him with a faint smile.
"Heaven's will, after waiting for so many years, I never expected to encounter a sword cultivator."
"Perfect timing to inherit my Southern Luan Sword Technique. Haha, this nameless junior actually dares to launch a sneak attack while my successor is undergoing tribulation!"
"Damn it!"
"Hmph, so you've fled into the city... If the lightning tribulation were to harm ordinary citizens, that wouldn't be good. I'll let you off this time!"
As the words fell, the phantom of the Great Sage of the Southern Ridge gently waved his hand, and the heavy thunder tribulation that had just been gathering above Liu Qiankun's head slowly dissipated.
"Unfortunately, your cultivation is too shallow. I can only guide you to longevity. If you had come at the peak of longevity, it would be no difficult task for me to elevate you to a semi-saint."
"However, having accepted the inheritance of my Southern Lin Sword Technique, reaching the level of a semi-saint is only a matter of time."
As he spoke, the Great Sage of the Southern Ridge pointed at Liu Qiankun's forehead, and then a faint blue halo slowly flowed from his fingertip into Liu Qiankun's brow.
And the phantom of the Great Sage of the Southern Lin also became increasingly blurred. When a light blue rhombus formed at the center of Liu Qiankun's forehead, the figure of the Great Sage of the Southern Lin had completely dissipated.
The air still echoed with the last words of the Southern Lin Great Sage: "Fated one, remember my name... Southern Lin Great Sage!"
Finally, the spiritual energy within Liu Qiankun converged like rivers into the sea, solidifying into substance.
At the same time, a dazzling sword light shot out from the top of Liu Qiankun's head, piercing straight into the heavens!
That is the mark of immortality!
"Is this about becoming a saint or achieving immortality?"
The many powerful individuals who had been keeping an eye on Liangyi Mountain couldn't help but have such a question arise in their hearts.
Whether it is becoming a saint or achieving immortality, causing two celestial phenomena in one day is ultimately too suspicious. It must be thoroughly investigated.
At this moment, within the Celestial Pavilion, Li Wen and Jun Yao were gazing at the streaks of lightning in the sky.
Even from such a great distance, one could clearly see within the tribulation of lightning, a sword light continuously ascending to the heavens.
"It seems that Shangguan Zhaixing ultimately couldn't make it in time. The one who successfully obtained the chance for immortality must be your master," Li Wen said with a smile.
"Thank you, elder, for guiding my master. I believe that when my master returns, he will surely express his gratitude to you properly."
Li Wen didn't respond to Jun Yao's words. Instead, he stared at the sword light soaring into the sky, shook his head slightly, and then let out a long breath.
Jun Yao looked at Li Wen with a puzzled expression: "Senior? Are you feeling regretful on behalf of Shangguan Zhaixing?"
Could it be that the senior actually likes Shangguan Zhaixing a bit more?
If such a powerful being were to favor Shangguan Zhaixing, just the thought of it made Jun Yao break out in goosebumps.
Li Wen waved his hand, "It's just some other bothersome matters."
