Dream Picking Records

Chapter 381: Crossing the Mountain

"Whatever your plans are, why not stay in my Ming Dynasty?" The Emperor Ming suddenly leaned closer and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am afraid that I am not suitable for officialdom because I am used to being casual." Wang Xiao quickly refused and even wanted to run away early.

"Okay, don't be nervous. I was just joking. You can stay in the palace for now. If you need anything, just let me know."

"I have a request, and I would like your Majesty to help me."

"Oh? It's been so long, and I still haven't figured out how to thank you. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Is there a particularly secluded place where I won't be disturbed? I think it's time for a breakthrough."

"It's simple. I can give you the place where I stay in seclusion." The Emperor Minghuang answered very happily.

"Uh... I'm afraid it'll make a lot of noise."

"How big a noise can a breakthrough make?" Emperor Minghuang's first reaction was a bit indifferent.

"It's quite big!" Wang Xiao gestured with his hands.

"Brother, do you have a thunder tribulation to overcome?"

Wang Xiao nodded in response to Zhu Xiaoyu's suspicion.

"I actually forgot about this. With your talent, it is not surprising that a thunder tribulation has come. Don't worry, I have carved a formation in my retreat area in the back mountain. Even if you break through the mortal realm and pass the tribulation, no sound will be heard." The Emperor Ming said confidently.

"I feel relieved now. I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance!"

Emperor Ming waved his hand and said, "When do you plan to break through?"

"Three days later, I need to be fully prepared."

"Well, although the current thunder tribulation is strong, you can handle it with ease with your strength, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. It's always better to be prepared. How about this, we'll meet at the back mountain entrance in three days."

Wang Xiao didn't explain much, responded with a smile and returned to his residence. From a distance, he could smell the fragrance before he even entered the house.

Inside the house, Feng Tingjun was feasting on a meal, his face rosy and shiny, and the loss of blood had been almost replenished through diet therapy.

Wang Xiao wanted to touch his belly, but Feng Tingjun's reaction was unexpectedly quick and swift, and he immediately grabbed the crab leg in front of him in his hand.

Wang Xiao was both angry and amused. "You've been nourishing yourself for days now, aren't you afraid of breaking your belly? Also, have you finished refining the energy of the divine silkworm?"

"Well... what do you care? The ancients said, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to refine? I'm just sharpening the knife before chopping wood."

"Okay, everything you said is right."

Wang Xiao wondered which big boss had said this and he had heard it.

He returned to his room and sat cross-legged, first practicing the Concentration Chapter to return to his most peaceful state, then examining himself for any flaws. He had to take the cumulative effects of the Hedao Realm's thunder tribulations seriously; if he wasn't careful, he would be reduced to ashes.

He was not worried about his mental strength at all. After absorbing the energy of the Cursed Inner Demon, he felt that its strength was far beyond that of an average strong man in the early stage of the Destiny Realm.

The body has been refined day by day for more than ten years, and the beatings in the body refining chapter have also reached a level that ordinary people can hardly reach.

He had already completed the attacking portion of the Nine Thunder Method. The Thunder Stepping Method that Lao Gu had given him was a form of physical training, which he could also cultivate during the thunder tribulation. Beyond that, he always felt that something was still missing.

He kept thinking about how to deal with the situation while meditating, and three days passed by unknowingly.

The sunlight poured through the window. Wang Xiao stretched and took a deep breath.

"smell good!"

He turned around and found Feng Tingyun standing beside him with a bowl of medicinal soup.

He quickly glanced out the window and said with a smile, "Oh, I thought the sun was rising from the west."

"Eat your fill and go through the tribulation." Feng Tingjun put down the bowl and left.

Wang Xiao drank the hot medicine soup warmly, then got up and went to the back mountain.

He saw from afar that Emperor Minghuang and Zhu Xiaoyu had arrived, and beside them were Yu Ling and Yu Changzhou.

Zhu Xiaoyu and others greeted him, but the Emperor Ming seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing that he did not speak on his own initiative, Wang Xiao did not ask and decided to concentrate on breaking through.

"Your Majesty, please open the entrance." Wang Xiao saluted the Emperor Minghuang.

"it is good."

Minghuang silently chanted a spell, and the space in front of them began to fluctuate, and a door-shaped vortex slowly appeared.

Wang Xiao stepped into it firmly, and his figure gradually moved away.

Yu Changzhou shouted to encourage him, "Brother, come on, it's just a thunder tribulation, it will definitely be no problem for you!"

Feng Tingyun, who had been secretly following, immediately jumped out and said, "Shut up, you black..."

Besides Wang Xiao, he was the only one at the scene who knew how terrifying the thunder tribulation he was about to face would be. It was only then that he looked more like a crow. However, everyone could see the worry in his eyes.

Just when they were confused, the sky suddenly darkened and thunder exploded in the sky, sounding the prelude to the unveiling.

"Wow!"

Without any delay, thunder poured down like a waterfall, as if it had been pent up for a long time and finally got to be released.

Wang Xiao opened his arms and embraced it, letting it drown.

"I'm sorry, I was too loud just now..." Beads of sweat appeared on Yu Changzhou's forehead. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, and it was much more exaggerated than he had expected. He couldn't help but worry for Wang Xiao.

Zhu Xiaoyu shook his head. He had also survived a disaster, but compared with the former, it was nothing and not worth mentioning.

Amidst everyone's worries, Wang Xiao, who was washed by thunder, stood intact in the sky, with the corners of his clothes slightly dirty.

"Hiss, it hurts a little!"

Wang Xiao rubbed his chest, and before he could catch his breath, waterfall-like thunder descended eight times in succession.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Xiao's hair was frizzy, his skin black, and his body flashed with arcs of electricity. He clenched his fists and felt the lightning coursing through his blood vessels, a tingling sensation rising to his crown. While enduring the tribulation to cultivate the Nine Thunder Technique was indeed effective, the price was high.

"As expected of you, Brother Wang. You managed to withstand the thunder tribulation with your physical body!" Yu Changzhou was filled with admiration again.

"It's still early." Zhu Xiaoyu saw the clue at a glance. As someone who had survived a thunder tribulation, he knew very well that the clouds in the sky had no intention of dispersing and contained even more powerful energy.

The fact was just as he said, the thunderclouds were black and purple, and their intensity increased to a new level.

"Boom!"

Nine waves of thunder descended in succession, but Wang Xiao remained firm.

"Humph!"

A living being in the clouds snorted coldly, displeased with the current situation. Before long, a new storm gathered, bringing another nine rounds of thunder. Unfortunately, it still had no power over the figure below.

"Isn't it over yet?" Yu Changzhou was a little numb. He didn't know how many times he could withstand the twenty-seven waves of thunder baptism, but the protagonist under the thundercloud took it all.

"Why isn't he moving?" Feng Tingjun was anxious. Even though he knew that Wang Xiao had survived many thunder tribulations, he still couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry. So far, Brother Wang has been using his physical strength to resist. Although he was injured, it's not a big problem. I believe he can handle it well." Zhu Xiaoyu comforted him.

"Whoo~"

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, regaining control of his body. He stretched his numb body and circulated his skills to repair his wounds. Reflecting on the experience of personally facing the thunder, he decided it was time to conclude his research on thunder magic. Continuing would likely lead to disaster, and that would be counterproductive.
