"What are you talking about," Venerable Nu glared sternly at Shi Jian, his heart also sowhat fearful as he ran toward Weapon Mountain.
After the fourth level of the Heavenly Tribulation had concluded, the sky gradually returned to its usual tranquility.
The two reached the central area of Weapon Mountain.
Here, they encountered an unfathomably deep pit.
This was Weapon Mountain, resolute and firm; any other mountain would have likely collapsed by now.
"Junior Brother Zimo," Shi Jian shouted near the edge of the pit.
The echoes reverberated through the hollow pit.
"Let’s go down and take a look," Venerable Nu suggested.
The two levitated and flew towards the bottom of the pit.
The deeper they went, the more shocking the scenes they observed beca, with electrical arcs flickering along one side of the walls.
While calling out Xu Zii’s na, they flew to the very bottom.
Finally, after about seven or eight minutes, they reached the lowest layer.
It was a ruinous scene down there, the ground cracked and emitting black smoke.
Various rocks and the earth were scorched.
The two began searching around the area.
Venerable Nu dared not imagine if Xu Zii had been annihilated directly by the thunderbolt; they might not even be able to find a bone.
"Master, Junior Brother Xu is here," Shi Jian’s loud shout startled him from his wandering thoughts.
Venerable Nu hurriedly looked toward the voice and saw Xu Zii lying beneath a rock.
His clothes were tattered, all torn from the thunderbolts.
His skin was also blackened.
"Junior Brother Xu, wake up," Shi Jian quickly helped Xu Zii up, shouting loudly.
"Cough, cough," Xu Zii coughed heavily.
He had awoken from an out-of-body state.
"Junior Brother, your eyes," Shi Jian looked at Xu Zii’s closed eyes, frozen in place.
Xu Zii’s eyes were tightly shut with Dutian Divine Thunder surging over them.
He could not even open his eyes.
Such was the destructive power of the Dutian Divine Thunder, destructive upon contact.
"It’s nothing," Xu Zii waved his hand.
At that mont, he truly could not see.
In a crucial mont earlier, he had used the Divine Thunder from his Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil to counteract the Heavenly Tribulation.
Regrettably, this was akin to throwing eggs against a rock.
Almost instantly, the Heavenly Tribulation pierced through his eyes.
His Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil was constructed with Hell Turbid Qi and had never actually encountered the real Dutian Divine Thunder.
However, just then, stimulated by the divine thunder discharged by the heaven and earth, Xu Zii discovered his eyes had undergone so astonishing transformations.
But whether it was good or bad, he didn’t know now.
His eyes were painfully hot, and his vision was plunged into darkness, only to see layers of dense Thunder Sea, remote and terrifying.
Such transformation would require ti, and Xu Zii was not in a hurry.
"Are you sure you’re okay?" Shi Jian asked worriedly.
"Can you still see?
Should we ask the Grandmaster to help treat you?"
Normally, soone at the Divine Vein Realm wouldn’t experience blindness.
Arms could be regrown, eyes could usually heal, even if damaged.
But Xu Zii’s condition seed peculiar, no matter how one looked at it.
"No need, I am aware of my own condition," Xu Zii shook his head.
Being blind was indeed disorienting and made many things inconvenient, at least for a while.
But he had his Divine Soul’s perception, and after adapting, the impact would be minimal.
He just needed to wait for the transformation of his eyes to be complete.
Moreover, his blindness had honed his hearing to an exceptional acuity.
Xu Zii took a piece of black cloth and blindfolded himself.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be presentable to go out like that.
With the black cloth on, Xu Zii felt he sowhat resembled that blind elder from Heavenly Dao Academy.
"You should rest well at the academy during this ti," Venerable Nu said from beside him.
"Leave after your eyes have recovered."
"No need," Xu Zii waved his hand and said.
"I want to go to the Form Blood Space, please help look up information about it."
Actually, a long ti ago, while Xu Zii was helping Sword Immortal Jiang Yun search for his clansn, he had heard about the Form Blood Space in the Northern Continent.
The Jiang Family, where Sword Immortal Jiang Yun belonged, was the guardian family of the Form Blood Space.
But Xu Zii only knew this much; he had to be fully prepared before setting out.
"I knew you would want to go there," Venerable Nu said.
"There’s no need to search; I already know all about it.
The Holy Master once sealed the Form Blood Beasts, thus creating the Form Blood Space.
There are five Form Blood Spaces across the Yuan Central Continent."
"Five?" Xu Zii frowned slightly.
He only knew of the Form Blood Space in the Northern Continent.
"Could it be that there is one on each of the five continents?"
"That’s right, but if you go to the Ancient Heavenly Palace, you won’t need to go through this trouble."
Venerable Nu said, "The Form Blood Space in our Central Continent is within the Supre Domain.
I estimate that the Ancient Heavenly Court should also be here.
The Central Continent is at the core of the five continents and is the place where people from all directions co to pay their respects; it is the most likely place for establishing the Heavenly Court."
"In the Supre Domain," Xu Zii was slightly surprised.
"I will draw a map for you, then you’ll know once you go," Venerable Nu said.
"I’m not worried about your strength, but more concerned about your current state."
"It’s okay," Xu Zii waved his hand.
Watching the Weapon Mountain that had been completely destroyed behind him, Venerable Nu instructed Shi Jian, "I’m taking Zii to draw the map.
Please inform the dean, as this is a matter of necessity."
"Understood," Shi Jian nodded.
Xu Zii and Venerable Nu then left Weapon Mountain and returned to Vermilion Bird Island.
This encounter with the heavenly tribulation made Xu Zii deeply reflective.
It was his first ti contending with the forces of heaven and earth.
It was only a level-four heavenly tribulation, and yet it was so, and he heard that heavenly tribulations had nine levels.
Moreover, this wasn’t even Heaven at full strength.
He reflected on his own insignificance and the long road ahead.
Perhaps it was ti to swiftly make a move toward Heaven Beyond Heavens.
There seed to be erging possibilities on the Yuan Central Continent that could make him stronger.
...
Upon arriving at Vermilion Bird Island, Venerable Nu didn’t draw on paper.
Instead, he took out a very ancient piece of beast skin.
Using spiritual energy, he sketched routes on this beast skin.
"Then because your eyesight isn’t convenient, even if I drew the map, you might not be able to see it clearly."
Venerable Nu explained, "This is a piece of spiritual beast skin, and I’ve marked the approximate location on it.
You can sense the presence of spiritual energy to figure out the position."
"Thanks," Xu Zii nodded slightly.
"In the Supre Domain, there’s a place called Land of Destruction.
You should understand that whether it’s our Supre Domain or other domains, the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect is the ruler and the most powerful existence.
But this Land of Destruction is different," Venerable Nu said.
"As far as I know, the Form Blood Beast in the Central Continent should be the strongest and also their stronghold.
Even when the Holy Master sealed them, it triggered a Heaven Shaking battle.
As for how brutal the fight was, we don’t know."
