Looking at the lightning arcs that were still falling, Di Jiu knew that he was really dead this time. There were definitely only a dozen lightning arcs falling now, according to his standard for the tribulation, the first wave of lightning arcs was eighty-one, and there were nine waves of lightning arcs in total, which meant a total of over seven hundred lightning arcs.
These ten or so lightning arcs almost killed him, and there were hundreds more to follow, how could he survive?
Di Jiu hurriedly took out a communication bead, he wanted to send a message to Nong Xiuqi before he died.
But what surprised Di Jiu was that after these ten or so thunder arcs had fallen, there were actually no more thunder arcs falling. Although the void still contained the sound of thunder, it was clear that there was a brewing time for the next wave of thunder arcs to fall.
Di Jiu was overjoyed, he hurriedly put away the communication pearl, grabbed out several ninth grade healing immortal pills and swallowed them, then frantically ran the Great Kun Body Refining Skill and Starry Sky Skill through the Rule Circumference.
His physical injuries recovered rapidly, his cultivation surged again, and endless immortal energy was sent out by the Starry Sky Veins under the Rule Circumference, impacting on the shackles of Immortal Emperor cultivation.
Di Jiu’s body burst into a roar and a slight mist of blood emerged from his entire body, but Di Jiu didn’t care half as much. He knew that although his lightning tribulation was far more than the Immortal Emperor’s lightning tribulation, there was still a silver lining to this tribulation.
That was that this time the lightning tribulation was finally like a normal lightning tribulation, normally he would have eighty-one lightning tribulation arcs in each wave, nine waves of lightning tribulation arcs would be nine eighty-one. This time, it was likely that he would have a total of eighty-one lightning arcs.
According to the situation just now, he had crossed two or nine lightning arcs in the first wave, and there were still sixty-three lightning arcs to go.
With over seven hundred lightning arcs, Di Jiu was sure that he would not be able to cross them, but with sixty or so lightning arcs, Di Jiu was still extremely confident that he would be able to cross them.
Moreover, he didn’t have to wait for all sixty arcs of lightning to come down before he could cross the Immortal Emperor stage.
Of course, Di Jiu knew very well that what he said was normal, for an ordinary Immortal Emperor perfection cultivator, this kind of terrifying thunder tribulation was still abnormal.
Di Jiu’s bones had just recovered when the roar in the void came again, and the third wave of nine lightning arcs had already fallen.
……
“Sister Ziyue, it’s all snow here ……,” Nong Xiuqi looked out from her flying machine, there was thick white snow everywhere outside.
Shen Ziyu nodded, “The temperature in the Ural Mountains is dropping now, and tens of degrees below zero is the norm. We should be getting there, let me look at the map, it should ……”
Shen Ziyu had just said the word should when the flying machine suddenly shook for a while. Followed by the engine suddenly going out, the craft started to get out of control.
“Not good, the engine is frozen ……,” Shen Ziyou had just said this when the flying machine crashed straight down.
Although Nong Xiuqi could have torn open the flying machine and then escaped with her flying sword or the Royal Wind Technique, only that Nong Xiuqi had just come into contact with cultivation and her strain was still too poor, she just watched the flying machine fall without making any reaction.
By the time she reacted, Shen Ziyu had already activated the emergency landing button.
A huge parachute popped up above the flying machine, and under this parachute, the falling speed of the flying machine was finally slowed down.
“Boom!” The craft hit the ground and disappeared directly into the snow.
“I’m sorry, I got you into trouble.” Shen Ziyue sat in the C*ckpit and looked apologetically at Nong Xiuqi beside her.
Nong Xiuqi shook her head, “Sister Ziyue, it’s nothing, I was planning to come out for the trial by myself, besides, aren’t we fine now.”
Shen Ziyue shook her head, “Although there is nothing wrong, but we may not be able to climb up. The snow in this place is too deep, hundreds of metres more than that. Ever since the Earth’s climate changed, several metres of snow has accumulated in this area every year and it never melts.”
“What was that about the flying machine just now?” Nong Xiuqi asked in confusion.
Shen Ziyu said apologetically, “It was my mistake, my flying machine engine has no problem resisting freezing, it doesn’t matter if it’s colder. Earlier there was a powerful ice-cold fog stream that burst out of nowhere, that fog stream froze my craft engine in an instant, causing my craft to fall ……”
“Then let’s get out of here and find a way out.” Nong Xiuqi unbuckled the seat belt on her body.
Shen Ziyu shook her head, “You can’t leave, the temperature outside here, the lowest I’m afraid is close to minus a hundred degrees. Just like that sudden cold current that appeared before, it even exceeded minus one hundred degrees, we still have some oxygen here, once we go out, we just won’t freeze to death, we will soon suffocate and die.”
Nong Xiuqi then responded that she could run around the sky for internal breathing, so that it would not matter even if it was a year or two. But Shen Ziyu was practising ancient martial arts, which were external breathing exercises, and cultivation was a completely different matter. She could walk inside the snow, but Shen Ziyue could not.
“Sister Ziyue, we can’t stay inside this flying machine for long, now that the engine is broken, I’m afraid that the oxygen will be depleted soon. ……” As Nong Xiuqi spoke, her divine thoughts swept out. If not inside the snow, her divine thoughts were already approaching several dozen miles. Even if it was inside the snow, a radius of two to three thousand meters was still under her divine thoughts.
Shen Ziyue was startled, and only then did she realize that staying inside the flying machine was just as unlikely to survive for long.
“Sister Ziyue, you follow me, I’ll take you out.” Nong Xiuqi’s divine thoughts had already swept into a huge cave, which led to nowhere, and there seemed to be a few snow rats in that cave. Since snow rats could survive, they should be able to survive.
“Good.” Shen Ziyue knew that Nong Xiuqi was right when she said that staying inside the flying machine was also a dead end.
Nong Xiuqi didn’t wait for Shen Ziyu to make a move and sacrificed her flying sword to tear open the flying machine directly.
“You have a storage ring?” Shen Ziyu looked at Nong Xiuqi in amazement, a treasure like a storage ring, even she didn’t have one.
Nong Xiuqi nodded, “Mm, it was given to me by big brother.”
She didn’t know that the storage rings were just like rubbish on Di Jiu’s body, piling up into mountains. If she had known, she might have added that she would have asked big brother for one for Shen Ziyue when she got out of here.
Shen Ziyu’s heart was in shock, the storage rings were too precious, each one was in the hands of the state, private individuals had not heard of anyone having a storage ring, no matter how strong you were.
“Xiuqi, if you can get out alive this time, in the future, you should not tell others about your possession of a storage ring, nor should you casually show it in front of others.” Shen Ziyue returned to her senses and said in a gruff voice.
In her heart, she became more and more impressed with Di Jiu’s mystery, that even a treasure like a storage ring could be taken out to Nong Xiuqi.
But then she thought, wasn’t Di Jiu just such a person? Back then, he had even risked his life to find the red flower for himself.
This love can be remembered, but at that time it was already confused!
Shen Ziyue sighed and let bygones be bygones.
Although the snow was tightly packed underground, Nong Xiuqi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possessor of divine thoughts, was able to quickly open up a pa*sage.
Shen Ziyu was an ancient martial arts practitioner, even if she was at the half-dan realm, and following behind Nong Xiuqi was getting harder and harder. She could resist the icy cold outside, but the lack of air was really torturous, and at the moment she was breathing internally with a mouthful of true qi in her body.
Luckily, Nong Xiuqi was extremely fast, and it took less than an hour for the two of them to arrive outside the cave entrance. At this moment, Shen Ziyu’s face was already purple.
After Nong Xiuqi opened the boulder at the mouth of the cave, Shen Ziyu felt her breath flowing freely, and for the first time she felt that the air she cared least about was so important.
“Xiuqi, how did you know there was a stone cave here?” Shen Ziyue asked Nong Xiuqi in confusion.
Nong Xiuqi didn’t hide, “I can sweep my divine thoughts here, cultivators can derive divine thoughts as long as they cultivate to a certain level ……”
Shen Ziyu opened her mouth, she had also gotten a cultivation technique, but was it so powerful? If she didn’t still have the self-discipline to know that some things are not to be said, she might have asked Nong Xiuqi for advice on cultivation.
Without Shen Ziyu saying it, Nong Xiuqi took the initiative and said, “Sister Ziyu, later I will teach you to cultivate first, although there is air flow in this place, it is still the bottom of the snow, when we go out in the future, you should at least learn to breathe within your own circumference.”
“Ah ……” Shen Ziyue let out a shocked ah, a cultivator can breathe within the circumference of the sky? Then she said again, “But you learned all the things that Di Jiu taught you, you taught me like this ……”
Nong Xiuqi shook her head, “It doesn’t matter, big brother didn’t say that this technique can’t be taught to others, it’s just that before I cultivated it, big brother helped me unblock my meridians ……”
After saying these words, Nong Xiuqi couldn’t help but hold onto the stone wall and vomit.
“Are you okay?” Shen Ziyue hurriedly went forward to support Nong Xiuqi, when her hand grabbed Nong Xiuqi’s wrist, her face changed then she said, “Xiuqi, you’re pregnant?”
When Nong Xiuqi heard the word “pregnant”, her eyes widened in disbelief and she looked at Shen Ziyue. How could this be possible? How could she be pregnant when her elder brother had been away for two years?
It was obvious that Shen Ziyue had also thought of this, and her face became odd as well.
