Chapter 155
After dinner we all gathered round to see the effects of the Core Density pill on Elder Song. For research purposes of course. We decide to gather in the courtyard, as the space in the library will be insufficient for everyone interested in seeing the new pill in action, though many have opted to retreat to a safe location, given the damage that the failed creation attempt did to the alchemy courtyard.
But failures happen right? The building is reinforced for just that reason. This one simply happened to be a bigger explosion than anticipated.
When he took it, the energy surged within his body like it had been released from an eternal prison, stronger and stronger as his damaged foundation healed itself and his body slowly started to return to peak Form. Wait, how strong was he before being injured and fleeing to the Mortal Realms? He was still in the high end of the Immortal Cultivation Realms when I met him.
The black, divine feeling energy that Elder Ming mentioned isn’t just a hint, his whole body practically glows with it. His power level is remarkable. From the feeling, he’s already on Par with Elder Po, who is at the doorstep to the Divine Realms of cultivation. And his foundation is still solidifying.
Then with a resounding crash, light blue lightning with black streaks crashes into Elder Song and arcs across to my body, leaving me stunned. Everyone else was sitting further away and managed to escape the arcing lightning.
"It’s the tribulation!" Elder Po shouts.
"Everyone get back, he’s undergoing Divine Tribulation for the second time." Elder Ming’s lovely new voice shouts, and I can hear footsteps retreating as the lightning hits Song and arcs across the ground, over and over again, repeatedly stunning me until I can’t move even to blink.
"Hold tight Young Miss, I hear tribulation lightning is good for the skin." Song laughs before biting his tongue as another bolt hits him. Clearly he can’t move much either, I can see him the way my head is facing and his body is locked in a meditating position, twitching constantly as the lightning hits.
"Is there any way to get to her?" I hear Karl in the background.
"No, trying to interrupt a Divine Tribulation could well destroy the entire Sect and everyone in it. All we can do is wait it out." Someone I can’t identify through the ringing in my ears replies.
[Please don’t die, Little Lycan] I hear Karl’s voice in my head and it helps me focus on staying conscious. If I’m awake I’m not dead. And I certainly don’t want to be dead.
