A life of clearness

Chapter 29 Thunder Tribulation?

what?
Did you hear it right? Yun Tong and Shan Xing both looked at Rong Qing in surprise.

The Baishi Temple would not take the initiative to attack the mortals of Jing Country because most of the people in their temple were from Jing Country. More importantly, it was unnecessary for them to do so. It could be said that the Baishi Temple was on the side of Jing Country.

However, they were puzzled by the fact that they had to take care of mortals to such an extent. Often, when monks fought each other, they would fight whenever they wanted. Just like when people walk, they would not be aware of whether they would step on a few ants.

Rong Qing looked at their expressions and knew what they were thinking.

She didn't find it strange. After all, this kind of thinking was considered the mainstream thinking in the cultivation world.

When I was still in the Sword Sect, during a casual conversation with Hong Fei, Hong Fei mentioned: "Mortals are as weak and tough as weeds."

Hong Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed: "The fire cannot be extinguished, the wind will blow it back to life."

Even if there are only a hundred people, given a few meager resources, they can cross the mountains, wade through the rivers, and populate the entire land.

For example, Jing State. Perhaps one or two thousand years ago, it was another extremely prosperous country. Because of the impact of the monks' fighting, the entire country was destroyed. Until one day, a boat of people accidentally crossed the South China Sea and set foot on this strange land. A new country was born quietly in less than a few decades. It has been inherited and developed for thousands of years before it has become prosperous in the secular world today.

Even if the Jing Kingdom was destroyed today due to the fighting between Jindan and Yuanying cultivators, there is no need to worry too much. It will not take hundreds of years, or even decades, for mortals to appear on this land again.

In the eyes of some powerful monks, these dozens or hundreds of years are nothing in their long lifespans. The changes in the secular world are nothing but a boring reincarnation.

If you say that mortals are so miserable, then it's not that bad... North of the South China Sea, many sects control a large number of mortal countries. They absorb a large number of talented children from these countries, and provide protection accordingly. If there are cultivators who kill people wantonly in the secular world, they will definitely be hunted down and killed by the sect's law enforcement disciples.

However, Jingguo was an exception. There was no spiritual energy growing there, which cut off the possibility of a baby being born with spiritual roots. In Rong Qing's opinion, Yunnong's spiritual roots were already an extremely exceptional case.

Therefore, there are very few monks here.

So...Jing State is considered a "lawless place".

Once they fall into a situation of persecution, they have no power to protect themselves.

"I don't think it's difficult to ask for Fellow Daoist Yu," Yun Tong said slowly, "but it's not easy either."

"How is it not easy?"

"Once they find us, the remaining states of Jing Country, with a population of tens of millions, will all become their hostages." Yun Tong shook his head, "This will put us in a passive position, and I'm afraid we won't be able to protect them."

"You should have fought with them. Can you tell me some information about them?"

"Of course, I just hope that Fellow Daoist Yu won't be scared." Yun Tong smiled for the first time, and wanted to see Rong Qing's reaction. "There are only four of them now. One child is at the Qi Refining stage, so he is not a big deal. There are also a boy and a girl who look like young people, both of whom are cultivators in the middle and late Jindan stage. With two Jindan, it's difficult for our Baishi Temple, but we can still resist. The most important thing is that there is another cultivator who is extremely unfathomable."

Yun Tong's voice was low, as if even the memories frightened him, "His cultivation, if sensed by his aura, should be at the level of Golden Core Great Perfection. Just based on his cultivation, he is enough to crush us. What's even more strange is that every time he makes a move, it is a great technique. His strength is so terrifying... He is definitely only a step away from the Nascent Soul stage, and he can even cross this line at any time."

"If it's true as you said, he can break through at any time, why hasn't he broken through yet?" Rong Qing stroked his chin, "I guess he's not that confident about the thunder tribulation of forming an infant." When a cultivator forms a pill, there will be strange phenomena, which can be regarded as a celebration. But when it comes to forming an infant, it is a thunder tribulation.

This thunder is a disaster, but also a fate.

First there is tribulation, then there is fate. But most cultivators cannot even pass the previous test, so how can they turn this thunder tribulation into opportunity?
Being able to pass the thunder tribulation and successfully form a baby is an excellent result.

"...No," Yun Tong hesitated and shook his head. "I am confident that he can successfully form a baby."

Yun Tong recalled the calm and extremely confident look of that cultivator. It was impossible for a cultivator who had not gone through a lot of trials and tribulations and was very confident in his own strength to have such a look. As a cultivator who practiced pupil techniques, Yun Tong was very sensitive to eye expressions.

“……” Hearing this, Rong Qing was speechless.

Brother, which side are you from?
Understanding the meaning conveyed in Rong Qing's eyes, Yun Tong coughed lightly, "I fought with him at the beginning, and I won't hide it from you, but I escaped by luck. I didn't expect that they only occupied the three northern states and stopped. I don't know the reason. Maybe they were preparing to survive the tribulation and not going to take risks." Shaking his head, "It's just a guess, I can't be completely sure."

"Now I can be sure." Rong Qing took a deep breath and met the puzzled eyes of the two people opposite, "Because the Qi Refining child you mentioned has been killed by me. And they haven't chased us yet."

Originally, she should have been fighting with the cultivators hiding in Suicheng. But the group of Jindan-stage cultivators had not made any movement, which was enough to show that they were preparing for something more important. So important... that they could temporarily tolerate the death of this disciple.

Apart from the major event that the leading cultivator broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Rong Qing couldn't think of any other reasons for the time being.

"You!!" Yuntong and Shanxing were completely shocked at this time.

Yun Tong looked Rong Qing up and down carefully. What kind of weirdo had he met?

She seemed to be acting in an orderly manner, but when you think about it, she was acting without any scruples. She killed someone and then ran to Suicheng, expecting them to take action... Why did she think that everyone would act according to her ideas?

Yun Tong laughed angrily, "You don't think that you can seriously injure him with just a sword intent." His words were full of sarcasm.

Rong Qing didn't care. Instead, she opened her eyes with a pair of sincere eyes. "If it was a normal time, it would be difficult. But didn't we just deduce that the man was about to undergo his Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation? Isn't this our chance?" She added, "There is an 80% chance that he will undergo the tribulation in the three northern states, but the possibility of a trick cannot be ruled out."

Yuntong and Shanxing looked at her silently, very suspicious.

"Simply retreating won't solve the problem at all. If I'm not mistaken, does Baishi Temple have the ability to hide? And this hiding ability has some flaws..."

Hearing this, Yun Tong's eyes flashed, and Rong Qing, who was staring at him, caught his eye.

"They seem not to be taking action now, but they have captured me and the Master, and want to find another way to crack this hiding method. In my opinion, they want to take advantage of your relaxation and carelessness to capture Baishi Temple in one fell swoop. So..."

Rong Qing said the word "so" heavily, "It's unavoidable, why not fight!" She looked at Yun Tong and the others with a firm gaze, "This opportunity was given to us by them personally. If we miss it, it will be hard to get it again."
