I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Rumble!
The power of the third lightning tribulation was even stronger than that of the second lightning tribulation!
Xiahou Wu's body radiated with qi and blood, making him resemble a high-temperature furnace. He activated his qi and blood fist intent, unleashed his fist techniques, and shattered the third lightning tribulation!
Streaks of lightning scattered.

Four aftershocks of lightning struck the head of the river.

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by lightning, strength increased by 1000kg."

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by lightning, strength increased by 1000kg."

"Ding……"

The rivers and lakes, bathed in lightning, turned red with rage!
This is too wasteful!

A lightning tribulation!
I can only catch a little "aftershock" and get a little "soup" by trying to get my hands on things. Senior Xiahou, how did you manage to shatter the lightning tribulation that was about to hit you?

…………

"So strong!"

"Is this Xiahou Wu's strength?"

"He already possesses such strength before even undergoing the tribulation of lightning. Once he does, what level of strength will he reach?"

In the distance, on the high platform for watching the ceremony.

The experts who came to witness the ceremony were secretly amazed when they saw Xiahou Wu withstand the first lightning tribulation with his physical body and then easily shatter the second and third lightning tribulations. They couldn't help but start discussing it!

Liu Feng cursed, "Damn it, how can a body cultivator be so strong? His tribulation lightning was 70-80% stronger than mine, almost twice as strong... but he passed it more easily than I did!"

Chen Jingzhou also said, "The legend of the Great Xia Dynasty is well-deserved... After he cultivates to the Vajra Realm, his strength is probably not much weaker than mine."

"No way?"

The others around looked over, and someone said, "The Vajra Body Refinement Realm is that powerful? Someone who has just entered the Vajra Realm can compare to Director Chen?"

It has been almost two years since Chen Jingzhou broke through to the "Celestial Realm".

They didn't really make a move until two months ago!

In his first battle, he killed Lu Xingwu, an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect and a mid-stage expert in the Celestial Realm. Then, in cooperation with the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, he single-handedly destroyed the Heavenly Demon Sect's largest stronghold in the Northwest, killing three Heavenly Demon Sect Guardian Gods and two elders, one of whom was a late-stage Celestial Realm expert!

Therefore, Chen Jingzhou's strength is recognized as the peak of the Celestial Realm!
Chen Jingzhou said, "Xiahou Wu's Heavenly Tribulation is nearly twice as strong as an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation... He was able to break through the Heavenly Tribulation so easily. Once he advances to the Vajra Realm, his strength is unimaginable."

Liu Feng refused to believe it and said, "We can cultivate martial arts supernatural abilities. How can Xiahou Wu, a pure body-refining martial artist, cultivate martial arts supernatural abilities?"

Chen Jingzhou shook his head and said, "Ordinary martial arts techniques can only unleash two or three times the combat power at most, while Xiahou Wu's self-created Great Sage Fist can theoretically unleash 10 times the combat power. The Great Sage Fist alone is enough to make up for the difference in realm."

"The Great Sage Fist?"

"The Great Sage Fist can theoretically unleash 10 times the combat power, but I heard that Xiahou Wu has only reached the seventh level so far?"

"The seventh level is also very powerful, capable of unleashing eight times the combat power..."

"The seventh level... He did create the seventh level, but I heard he only cultivated it to the sixth level!"

"No way, who told you that?"

"Liu the Madman!"

All eyes turned to Liu Feng, and someone asked, "Crazy Liu, is this true?"

"what?"

Liu Feng said, "Everyone, stop talking... Look, what's that?"

Following Liu Feng's gaze, everyone saw a strange radiance suddenly rise behind Xiahou Wu, enveloping the entire West Mountain and radiating an indescribable power.

The onlookers were utterly astonished. One of them exclaimed, "What is that? Is it some kind of celestial phenomenon? Why didn't I have it when I was undergoing my tribulation, but Xiahou Wu did?"

…………

At the foot of West Mountain.

Jiang He was also shocked.

sky……

Visions of heaven and earth?

He had witnessed Zhuo Bufan and Liu Feng undergoing their tribulations, and he had also seen Qian Huili of the Heavenly Saint Sect undergoing her tribulation in the White Horse Profound Light Heaven... But when they underwent their tribulations, apart from the heavenly tribulation and the tribulation clouds, there were no unusual phenomena!

Rivers can only attribute it to...

The special characteristics of body-refining martial artists!

"The strange phenomenon stretches for dozens of miles, covering the entire Western Mountain... Huh?"

"The light grew brighter and brighter... and it even turned golden!"

Jiang He stood at the foot of the mountain, so from his angle, he had to "look up" at Xiahou Wu... He could see that the clouds of tribulation were rolling above Xiahou Wu's head, with lightning bolts intertwining, and his blood and qi were surging, with his fist intent rising!
Golden light emanated from behind!

He was portrayed as if he were the reincarnation of Buddha.

The entire western mountain was bathed in golden light; such an extraordinary phenomenon was naturally visible to Xiahou Wu as well…

He panicked instantly.

"Fuck!"

"What the hell?"

What kind of strange phenomenon was this... Xiahou Wu himself was undergoing tribulation, so he naturally knew that the golden light covering the mountains and plains was not caused by him. What made him even more uneasy was that he vaguely sensed an extremely terrifying aura that seemed to be awakening from the depths of the Western Mountain.

Boom!

at this time.

The fourth lightning tribulation descended!
Xiahou Wu disregarded everything else. He gritted his teeth, soared into the sky, and fused his blood and fist intent into one, shattering the fourth lightning tribulation with a single punch!
His aura began to surge wildly.

Flesh, bones, and fascia rapidly transform.

"wipe!"

Jiang He looked up at the sky and found that the aftershocks of the fourth lightning tribulation had dissipated in the sky and had not fallen. This made him feel as if he had lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and he felt extremely pained!

Just as he was about to sigh, Xiahou Wu, who had shattered the fourth lightning tribulation, swooped down from the sky, grabbed Jiang He's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Go!"

"what?"

Jiang He looked completely bewildered: "Where to?"

brush!
The next moment, Xiahou Wu carried him out of the West Mountain and onto the viewing platform.

Many martial artists stepped forward to offer their congratulations, but Luo Yuanzhou remained solemn, his eyes fixed on Xishan.

"Wow, Lao Wu is amazing!"

Liu Feng stepped forward and slapped Xiahou Wu hard on the shoulder, saying, "You really stole the show this time during your tribulation... The tribulation clouds have dispersed, but the strange phenomena remain!"

"What strange phenomenon?"

Xiahou Wu was speechless for a moment, then turned to look at West Mountain and said with a wry smile, "That was not a strange phenomenon caused by me at all... It seems that my choice to undergo tribulation in West Mountain was a mistake, as if it has attracted something extraordinary!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

As the golden light grew stronger, it gradually enveloped the entire West Mountain. Within the golden light, countless strange phenomena appeared, and people seemed to vaguely see celestial birds flying, celestial palaces standing tall, and figures moving about within it.

"what is this?"

Someone exclaimed, "A strange phenomenon? Reality?"

Luo Yuanzhou, who had been sitting in his chair, stood up and said, "Legend has it that in ancient times, the Great Xia Dynasty had thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands. Among them is the 'West Mountain Grotto,' also known as the 'Heavenly Pillar Treasure Extreme Mysterious Heaven,' which is located in this West Mountain. It was created by the True Man Tang Gongfang..."

"After Gongfang of the Later Tang Dynasty ascended to immortality, the 'West Mountain Cave' was gradually forgotten until the Divine Power and Miraculous Salvation True Lord appeared and established the Longevity Palace on the West Mountain. The West Mountain... then became a blessed land once again!"

"Oh?"

Liu Feng said, "This small West Mountain actually has a great background? Does that mean... there are two secret realms hidden within this West Mountain?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Luo Yuanzhou said, "First of all, legends are just legends. A part of our Great Xia's history has been erased. These things are just records I saw in a book of unofficial history and miscellaneous records that I dug out from the secret realm. In addition, the thirty-six grotto heavens are all small worlds, but the seventy-two blessed lands are not necessarily within the grotto heavens and secret realms... Whether it is true or not, I will find out once I go and investigate!"

The experts present wanted to join him, but Luo Yuanzhou refused.

Hidden caves and secret realms are not necessarily safe.

Some of them are filled with danger and killing formations... A slight mistake can lead to death!
"Everyone, please evacuate from here first. Arrange for other people to be stationed in Xishan. Do not let any ordinary martial artists wander into this place. Regardless of whether there is any danger, I will return within three days."

Luo Yuanzhou paused here, then added, "If I don't return in three days... then report it to Tianmen Pass and let Minister Qin and Senior Wang Wu decide. You must not go in rashly!"

Leave this sentence.

He turned around.

It plunged into the golden light in a flash.

That's strange.

As Luo Yuanzhou entered the golden light, the golden light that had covered the entire West Mountain suddenly contracted and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

This has happened.

No one was in the mood to continue eating and drinking.

Some of the martial artists present began to leave, while a large number remained where they were, seemingly waiting for Luo Yuanzhou to come out.

Although Xiahou Wu did not hold a position in Xijiang Base City, almost all the high-ranking officials and powerful figures of Xijiang Base City attended his tribulation ceremony. Soon, orders were issued one after another, and soon the army and experts arranged by the Martial Arts Administration Bureau would be stationed around Xishan to ensure that ordinary martial artists who entered the wilderness area for training would not accidentally enter Xishan.

Chen Jingzhou also plans to stay here.

Therefore, the task of "sending" Jianghe back could only fall to Liu Feng.

Just as Jiang He was about to return, Xiahou Wu approached him and said, "Jiang He, Minister Qin has informed me about the situation at Tianmen Pass. There are still five days before the opening of that secret realm. I need to go into seclusion to stabilize my cultivation and strive to emerge as soon as possible so that I can go to Tianmen Pass with you and enter that secret realm together!"

Jiang He laughed and said, "With Senior Xiahou's help, our chances of killing... no, fighting against the thirty-five true disciples of the seven major forces are even greater. I look forward to fighting alongside Senior Xiahou!"

Forehead!
Xiahou Wu was taken aback.

to be frank.

That statement is a bit... self-aggrandizing.

After all, he was already at the Vajra Realm, while Jiang He was just a junior, only at the eighth level of Body Refinement. However, Xiahou Wu did not feel any disgust. Instead, he laughed and said, "Haha, when we join forces and kill those true disciples of the seven major forces, we will surely become famous in Kunlun Ruins."

"and!"

Liu Feng was very upset when he heard this.

He knew it in his heart...

He knew he wouldn't get one of the five spots in the White Horse Profound Light Heaven, so he secretly thought to himself, "Two body cultivators, what's there to be proud of!"

On the surface, however, he smiled and said goodbye to Xiahou Wu.

Then he went to present the gift list, took Jiang He with him, and flew towards Wucheng.

…………

2024, April 11.

At around 3:40 p.m., Jiang He returned to "Wucheng Anning Mental Hospital".

The round trip to Xijiang Base City was nearly 4000 kilometers. He had already used up the remaining 700 "Marrow Refining Pills" on him, plus the aftershocks of Xiahou Wu's three tribulations...

Jianghe's [Power] has finally increased to 32 Dragon Power.

of course.

The system panel displays 32 Dragon Power.

In fact, his power has already exceeded the power of 32 dragons, and he is not far from the power of 33 dragons.

Sitting on the hospital bed.

Jiang He checked his supplies and then said, "I still have 80 Heavenly Yin Grass plants. Each plant can increase strength by 3000 kg, so 80 plants would be 240,000 kg, which is close to the strength of two dragons."

"In addition, there is a considerable amount of essence blood from king-level ferocious beasts..."

The effects of consuming the essence blood of king-level ferocious beasts vary greatly depending on their rank and species.

A single drop can provide anywhere from 5000 kg to 6000 kg, or as little as 2000 kg to 3000 kg.

Jiang He made a rough estimate...

"Before entering the White Horse Profound Light Heaven, I should be able to raise my physical body's basic strength to around 40 Dragon Power!"

40 Dragon Power.

Activate the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, consume the [Super Berserk Pill], and unleash a triple-strength Great Sage Fist...

"If I could gather a beast tide and slaughter them, perhaps I could take care of the thirty-five true disciples of the seven major forces myself, without even needing Xiahou Wu!" (End of Chapter)
