After Zhou Ling handed the token to a disciple who was at the Half-Step Celestial Stage, she sat down with her legs crossed and looked at the disciples who were waiting nearby with a puzzled expression on her face.
"What is going on?
Why did the number of people here increase? "
Zhou Ling found it weird. She had been a worker here for many years but the number of people who came was much higher than before.
In the past, the nine sacred grounds were rarely full but now, not only were they all full, but there were also people queuing. This made Zhou Ling feel that something was wrong.
"Furthermore, it seems like the time taken to pass the tribulation has increased over the past year. In the past, it would take at most a month to pass the tribulation. However, in the past few months, it took at least three months for the person to pass the tribulation. Especially the fifth tribulation ground. It has been almost a year and he still hasn't come out …" Zhou Ling was confused.
If it wasn't for the rule that one couldn't be disturbed for a year, Zhou Ling would have sent people in to see what was going on.
"I remember that the disciple was at Dao Realm Stage Three and logically speaking, he shouldn't have taken so long." Zhou Ling thought to herself.
"That person was probably badly injured and is meditating there to recover."
Zhou Ling thought about it. Just as Zhou Ling was about to sit down to check her contribution points, a person appeared in the fifth whirlpool.
The moment that person appeared, he turned into a shadow and ran out of the hall like he didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
"He is finally out."
Zhou Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she stood up to arrange for the next person, she thought about something and looked towards the door in confusion. She muttered, "Dao Realm Stage Five?
That's not right … Didn't he enter at Dao Realm Stage Three?
How did he spend a year?
How did he reach Dao Realm Stage Five?? "
"He must have concealed his cultivation before."
Zhou Ling thought to herself. Then, she looked at the disciple who was waiting and said, "Next!"
Qin Yu ran out of the sacred ground.
He really didn't dare to stay a moment longer. The three consecutive Thunder Calamity had made Qin Yu completely afraid of the Holy Land of Tribulation. He was deeply afraid that if he continued to stay in the Holy Land of Tribulation, he would attract another Thunder Calamity. If that happened, he was afraid that he would really die there.
Qin Yu didn't slow down until he was far away from the Tribulation Transcendence Holy Land.
Walking on the path, Qin Yu was still in a daze. He didn't dare to believe that he had just gone through three tribulations … He didn't dare to believe that he had jumped from Dao Realm Stage Three to Dao Realm Stage Five …
Yes!
Logically speaking, after transcending the Dao Calamity, he should have stepped into the Nirvana Realm. However, after Qin Yu woke up, he discovered that he had directly stepped into the Nirvana Realm. In other words, his current cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Dao Calamity.
From Dao Realm Stage Three to Dao Calamity Stage Five in one go, such a situation and such a speed was simply unheard of. It was unbelievable, so much so that Qin Yu was still in a daze. He felt that all of this was unreal!
Originally, Qin Yu planned to return to his residence. However, after taking a few steps, he remembered that his residence had expired. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yu directly walked towards the Soul Path Cave Abode …
Fifteen minutes later, after Qin Yu paid 2,000 contribution points, he entered the small cave abode of the Soul Path Cave Abode. He sat down cross-legged and looked inside his body.
At this moment, there was a purple-white world in Qin Yu's body. If one listened carefully, they would even be able to hear the muffled sound of thunder coming from within his body. The rich and powerful Thunder Calamity Energy filled every corner of his body.
No, to be precise, Qin Yu's current body, other than his bones, was almost completely condensed from the Thunder Calamity Energy … Under the nourishment of the purple-white Thunder Calamity Energy, even his bones had turned purple-white and were filled with the Thunder Calamity Energy.
"Once this Thunder Calamity Energy is released, it can transform into the Thunder Calamity Energy. I'm afraid that ordinary people below the Dao Realm will definitely die from this attack!
Ordinary Dao Realm cultivators would probably not be able to withstand this Thunder Calamity Energy. "Qin Yu muttered to himself. This Thunder Calamity Energy was comparable to the Thunder Calamity Energy in the first heavenly chasm of the Great Desolate Forbidden Land.
The Power of Punishment contained an extremely powerful force.
Then, Qin Yu's divine sense probed into his dantian. The appearance of his dantian made him even more stunned.
At this moment, his Dantian was like a true sea of lightning tribulation … The surging energy of lightning tribulation was like a river that gushed into the meridians in his entire body, and at the center of his Dantian sat a figure the size of a thumb …
This was the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul.
Sizing up the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul, Qin Yu was a little bewildered. He vaguely felt that the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul this time was different from the previous two. Compared to the previous two, this Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul gave Qin Yu an indescribable feeling.
If the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul that was originally condensed was dignified and mysterious, then the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul that was formed after breaking through for the first time was filled with supreme majesty. This majesty was more than ten times stronger than the original one, and it sat quietly in the dantian like a god.
But now, the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul that was formed after breaking through for the second time … Compared to the previous two times, in terms of appearance, it didn't seem to have any majesty. To a certain extent, its appearance was extremely close to Qin Yu's, but it had shrunk by many times.
However, compared to the previous two Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Souls, the current Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul was even stronger and faster …
"Huh?!"
Qin Yu, who was sizing up the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul, suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He was actually keenly aware that there was a scar between the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul's eyebrows. Because the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul was too small, if one didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to see it.
"What's with this scar?"
Qin Yu carefully sized up the scar between the eyebrows of the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul. This scar looked like a line …
"Strange." Qin Yu muttered to himself. He couldn't find any clues even after repeatedly sizing it up, so he could only withdraw his thoughts.
Following that, Qin Yu's consciousness once again probed into the Sea of Divine Soul between the eyebrows of the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul. This time, what surprised Qin Yu the most was the Divine Soul Blade.
At this moment, when he thought back to the seventeenth bolt of the third Thunder Calamity, Qin Yu still had lingering fear in his heart. He didn't expect that bolt of heavenly lightning to actually shatter the Divine Soul Blade … Fortunately, Qin Yu already had the experience of his divine soul collapsing.
When the Divine Soul Blade shattered, he held onto his mind and persevered. Otherwise, under that terrifying heavenly lightning, Qin Yu would definitely die!
When Qin Yu once again condensed his divine soul, his divine soul was actually tainted with the lightning of the Thunder Punishment … There was even a lightning imprint that appeared on the Divine Soul Blade. However, the cracks on the Divine Soul Blade still did not dissipate, which made Qin Yu puzzled!
