Alien Science Cultivation

After a brief silence, the thunder dragons in the vortex roared again and charged towards the eldest brother. This time, there were two thunder dragons instead of just one. The two thunder dragons bared their fangs and claws, carrying a devastating aura. Wherever they passed, space seemed to be distorted.

"Captain...are these thunder dragons going to increase? One at a time? How many times will it take for this to end? Senior Brother doesn't have a single decent magic weapon besides the Qingfeng Sword! Even with the Qingfeng Sword, I'm afraid he can only withstand two such a ferocious thunder tribulation. Is Senior Brother in danger...who has he offended?" Ni Fang asked anxiously, tears etched in her voice, gazing at the two thunder dragons in the sky. After all, this was the first time she had ever witnessed such a thunder tribulation. Her own Dan-Jing tribulation, while also difficult, was just ordinary lightning, ending in nine single thunder tribulations. Who had ever seen purple lightning, or in the shape of a thunder dragon, or with so many of them...? The captain looked at Ni Fang helplessly and shook his head. He truly didn't know if Senior Brother could withstand it. Although he knew his second gene was from the beast clan, he had no idea what kind of beast it was. And then there was the mere Nascent Soul tribulation, and yet it had reached such an incredible level. Compared to his own single Yuanying tribulation, the last of which was an ordinary Thunder Dragon tribulation!

As the second purple thunder dragon tribulation descended, a massive crater with a radius of approximately 100 feet instantly formed in the ground beneath it. Within the pit, purple lightning slithered and slithered, like countless venomous snakes spitting their tongues. As the eldest brother's shrill roar grew even more shrill, everyone's hearts, which had been in their throats, finally settled back into their chests, yet they remained tense, not daring to relax even a little.

"This lightning force has a tempering effect on the cultivator's body, but its true purpose is to destroy and kill, a fatal move used by Heaven to annihilate those who are not born equal..." A cold voice suddenly echoed from behind Zhang Qiang and the other three. This chill wasn't just physical; it felt as if it could instantly freeze the soul! Zhang Qiang, Ni Fang, and the black-robed captain exchanged a frozen glance. Their hearts, which had just slightly settled back into their chests, now seemed to have completely stopped beating! It felt as if every inch of their bodies, from the very soul to the very body, were frozen in place, daring not to move. They kept their full awareness focused, observing their surroundings intently, yet they remained unaware of any approaching person or beast. However, the sudden sound, no more than ten meters away, could only mean one thing: a ghost! Ni Fang and the black-robed captain seemed to recall Zhang Qiang's words: these ghosts weren't afraid of light, but darkness provided them with what they needed. They couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qiang from the corner of their eyes! It was as if they were waiting for Zhang Qiang to react, hoping that he could resolve this terrifying situation. After all, among them, only Zhang Qiang understood these ghosts the best! How could Zhang Qiang not know what they meant? But they didn't know that Zhang Qiang was even more terrified than they were! His understanding of ghosts was only from movies, not to mention that in this other world, it was most likely fabricated knowledge... Zhang Qiang couldn't even feel his heartbeat or breathing at this moment. His body was clearly not under his control, but he couldn't move at all due to instinct! His grandmother's kind yet heart-wrenching smile seemed to appear before his eyes!

"Little ones... don't be afraid, I mean no harm..." That cold voice sounded again, but this time it seemed like a warm and powerful hand, slowly pulling back the three souls and six spirits that had just been scared away. Although the body was still a little stiff, it was finally able to control it. The three of them turned around and looked behind them at the same time. A large eagle ghost with a golden glow was standing quietly on the top of the same tree at the same height as them. The golden feathers were like burning flames, shining brightly. Each feather seemed to be made of fine steel, flashing with a cold and cold light. Its head was held high, and its eyes were like the blazing sun, staring closely at the direction where the eldest brother was crossing the tribulation. Its sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all the vanity and disguise in the world.

"Ancestor..." The black-robed captain, seeing the golden eagle clearly before him, was overcome with grief, tears streaming down his face. He prostrated himself before the ghostly golden eagle, his body trembling slightly with extreme grief and awe. Ni Fang and Zhang Qiang also hurriedly saluted the ghostly golden eagle. Following the principle of "many courtesy are never a problem," this practice served them better in the world of immortal cultivation than in the mortal realm, and might even save their lives.

"Hmm... you're quite good. I've been dead for who knows how many years, and yet someone still recognizes me. I'm so relieved... Hmm, there are three of them... This little one's in danger! What a shame..." Zhang Qiang and Ni Fang turned to look at the eldest brother. They saw three purple thunder dragons charging towards him with devastating force, their overwhelming power seemingly capable of crushing the entire world. Zhang Qiang couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned back to look at Ni Fang. Beneath her icy expression, Ni Fang's eyes seemed to hesitate, then firm. With a thud, Ni Fang knelt before the Golden Eagle Ancestor and pleaded, "Golden Eagle Ancestor, please save my eldest brother... I'm incompetent, and I'm willing to serve you as your slave... I'll die without regrets. Please help me save my eldest brother..." As she spoke, she prostrated herself before the Golden Eagle Ancestor, refusing to rise. Zhang Qiang looked at this scene with mixed feelings. A feeling of powerlessness he had never felt before swept over his body like a tide, and he even felt dizzy. Since he started practicing Taoism, Zhang Qiang's physical fitness has increased exponentially. This phenomenon should be impossible, but it actually happened.

"Ancestor...that kid..." The black-robed captain was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Golden Eagle Ancestor. The black-robed captain had no choice but to lower his head and crawl on the ground again, not daring to breathe.

"Ancestor, I have never lacked slaves... but my clan needs a servant... As long as you inherit my will and swear an oath to the Heaven, I promise to take the last thunder tribulation for that kid... Well, this kid is quite lucky! He has survived three purple thunder dragon tribulations, and the next 4 or 5... The last one should be 9, alas... what a pity!" The Golden Eagle Ancestor had no expression on his face, and still spoke in that cold voice, his eyes still staring coldly in the direction of the eldest brother.

"Okay... I promise you, but only if my senior brother survives this ordeal. I am willing to inherit Senior Golden Eagle's will and serve the Shadow Clan as a servant for the rest of my life, guided by blood and witnessed by the laws of nature!" Without hesitation, Ni Fang bit her finger, letting a drop of blood the size of a soybean ooze out. She resolutely swore the oath! A moment later, blood strangely appeared in the air...

"My life was given by my master and the Qingshan Sect! As long as my eldest brother is alive, my master's last wish to rebuild the Qingshan Sect will be realized... I am just a nobody in the middle stage of foundation building, and a cultivator with damaged dantian and meridians! I have no right to negotiate with a legendary Mahayana figure. He can kill a group of my people countless times with just one finger, and he has plenty of ways to make those around him obey him. He doesn't need to waste his breath to deceive me..." Ni Fang was thinking!
