157: Thunder Palace self-destructs

Xu Qi'an arrived at the location where Ning Sui was staying and saw that Ning Sui was still teaching Ye Xiuling how to Cultivate.

"Little Yezi, cultivation cannot be rushed; you must focus on gradual progress!"

Ning Sui patted Ye Xiuling's head and said with a smile.

"Also, if you know something is impossible, then don't attempt it. Never try to be overly strong or competitive!"

"When cultivating outside, you must remember that besides yourself, no one else can be trusted!"

"Furthermore, you must also understand the principle of not revealing your wealth!"

Ye Xiuling nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Sui!"

"Xiuling will definitely keep Sister Sui's instructions in mind."

Immediately, the two noticed the arrival of a figure.

Ning Sui smiled, patted Ye Xiuling's head, and then came to Xu Qi'an's side.

"Then your big brother and I are leaving, okay? Remember to Cultivate well!" Ning Sui instructed again.

Ye Xiuling looked at the two who were about to leave and felt a hint of reluctance in his heart, but he still forced himself not to say it and said with a smile.

"I remember!"

"Sister Sui, the next time you see Xiuling, Xiuling will definitely become a great Cultivator who can stand tall!"

Ning Sui smiled slightly and gave a look of affirmation, then disappeared into the horizon with Xu Qi'an.

Ye Xiuling's eyes were filled with tears, and he tightly held a package in his hand, then heavily kowtowed several times on the ground.

...

Above the sky.

Xu Qi'an looked at Ning Sui and said lightly: "Actually, if you really like him, you could take him with you."

"After all, the space in the Time Crystal is very large, and there won't be any trouble."

Ning Sui smiled sweetly: "Then why did Master drive me away back then?"

"What he said at the time was very heartless."

"As a result, he secretly gave me many opportunities. I even thought I had profound good fortune."

Xu Qi'an fell silent.

Back then, in order to pass the mortal tribulation, he originally had no intention of taking Disciples.

It was just that Ning Sui kept clinging to him later, calling him Master, and wanted to Cultivate to seek revenge both openly and secretly, so he went along with her wishes.

As for letting her leave on her own later, it was also to see her true character.

If Ning Sui had changed, perhaps he would not have taken her in.

Later, the daily and nightly interactions at An Sui Small Pavilion truly brought them closer.

Seeing that Xu Qi'an didn't speak, Ning Sui then smiled: "For Little Yezi, closed cultivation might allow him to steadily improve his cultivation."

"But he also has a lot of Blood Sea deep hatred, just like I did back then. A stable environment is not necessarily a good medicine; instead, it's a slow poison."

"If he wants to quickly improve his cultivation and strength, he still needs to be under high pressure."

"This is truly beneficial to his growth."

"Just like Master back then, Master gave me things and let me Cultivate on my own. I had to face challenges from various aspects."

"I had to learn to hide my brilliance, to understand that possessing treasure makes one a target, and to understand that there are very few good people like Master in this world, and many bad people like demon Cultivators."

"So Master's intention, I understood it a long time ago."

Ning Sui spoke tirelessly, and Xu Qi'an listened, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Actually, to be honest, he hadn't thought that much.

"Alright, stop lamenting."

"With the explosion of the Thunder Palace, it won't be long before people from Dengxian Palace arrive on this Purple Profound Star."

"You should enter the Crystal Space first!"

Ning Sui nodded slightly after hearing this, and then transformed into a white light and entered it.

Xu Qi'an then glanced around and transformed into a white light, fleeing towards the starry sky.

...

The next day.

Many Cultivators wearing white armor arrived on Purple Profound Star.

A palace pattern was carved on the white armor of these Cultivators, which looked extremely spectacular.

Leading the many white-armored Cultivators was a young man in white with arrogant eyebrows.

He transformed into a white flash of light, and as soon as he arrived above Purple Profound Star, he immediately went to the front of the Thunder Palace.

At this moment, the Thunder Palace was still surrounded by many Cultivation Country Cultivators.

When the young man in white saw this scene, he immediately shouted sternly: "Get out of here!"

Everyone was startled. A fierce person had just left the day before, and unexpectedly, another one came today.

"Where is the Sect Leader of Zixuan Sect?" Qi Yubai said coldly.

Immediately, three Elders of Zixuan Sect trembled and came forward: "Greetings, Envoy from Dengxian Palace. The Sect Leader has already entered the Thunder Palace."

"Hmph!" Qi Yubai snorted coldly, then leaped up and flew inside.

A large group of white-armored Cultivators followed closely behind, surrounding the area and not allowing any Cultivator to leave.

Many Cultivators were unclear where so many powerful Cultivators came from, but the Elders of Zixuan Sect were very clear.

Because these white-armored Cultivators were the armored soldiers of Bailing Palace under Dengxian Palace, and the Cultivator who could lead such Bailing Palace armored soldiers was naturally of extremely noble status, needless to say.

Qi Yubai flew into the Thunder Palace and immediately saw the empty square.

"Where are the Thunder Nurturing Pillars?" His heart immediately turned cold. These Thunder Nurturing Pillars were good things for cultivating tribulation lightning.

It was because of these things that the Thunder Palace was able to continuously release Heavenly Tribulation lightning back then.

"Those ants actually dared to move these Thunder Pillars!"

A hint of killing intent appeared on Qi Yubai's face, and he leaped into the Thunder Hall in front.

Upon entering the Thunder Hall, he found that it was empty, with nothing inside.

Just as he was about to fly into a rage, he suddenly noticed that all the Cultivators who had entered the Thunder Hall were miraculously frozen in mid-air.

"Hmm?"

He immediately sensed that something was wrong and planned to retreat, but unexpectedly, the gate of the Thunder Hall closed automatically.

Immediately after, a cold laugh came from within the Thunder Hall: "Hehe, Cultivator from Dengxian Palace, I finally waited for you."

"You are responsible for the disaster of my Thunder Palace back then. Die."

Qi Yubai immediately sneered upon hearing this: "Hehe, so it's the lingering remnant soul of the Thunder Palace Revered Master before his death."

"You were probably at the Great Ascension Stage in strength when you were alive, but now you are barely around the Combined Body Stage!"

"What can you do to me?"

"Also, what you just said about our Dengxian Palace being involved in the destruction of your Thunder Palace is not wrong, but it was originally your Thunder Palace that violated the will of all beings!"

The remnant soul of the Thunder Palace sneered: "Violated?"

"What do you, a junior, know?!"

"The world only knows that our Thunder Palace caused Heavenly Tribulations and harmed the lives of many Cultivators, but who knows that Heavenly Tribulations are originally a part of the Heavenly Dao."

"Without Heavenly Tribulations, a Cultivator's path would not be complete."

"The Heavenly Dao in this world is damaged, and our Thunder Palace was originally acting on behalf of the heavens!"

"Forget it, talking more is useless. Today, my Thunder Palace is once again pulled out of the void. One is to spread my Thunder Palace inheritance again, and the other is to let your Dengxian Palace try my power!"

As soon as the words fell, the remnant soul of the Thunder Palace raised its hand and waved, and all the tribulation lightning in the Thunder Hall was released at this moment.

It even included a tribulation lightning comparable to the Great Ascension Stage, and the direction that tribulation lightning shot towards was Qi Yubai.

"There is actually so much tribulation lightning!"

Qi Yubai's heart was immediately shaken.

He only had Combined Body Stage initial cultivation. Although he had many defensive measures on him, he could not withstand this tribulation lightning that was comparable to a powerful blow from the Great Ascension Stage.

At this moment, a majestic illusory figure suddenly flew out of Qi Yubai's storage bag.

This figure casually slapped, dispersing the oncoming tribulation lightning.

"Little old man, you're still not letting people rest easy even after death. You actually dared to harm my Disciple."

Qi Yubai was overjoyed and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, Revered Master, for saving me!"

The remnant soul of the Thunder Palace above immediately snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you to even send a Clone to protect him."

"In that case, you can all stay!"

As soon as the words fell, the remnant soul of the Thunder Palace above actually intended to self-destruct the Thunder Palace.

"Not good!" The illusory figure immediately felt a great sense of unease, raised his hand, pulled Qi Yubai, and ran towards the gate of the Thunder Hall.

Rumble!

The Thunder Hall completely exploded at this moment.

The illusory figure immediately used all its spiritual energy to protect Qi Yubai.

After a few breaths, the explosion finally ended completely.

And Qi Yubai's Revered Master's Clone was also affected by this explosion, and its light and shadow immediately dimmed.

"Yubai, my Clone's strength has been greatly damaged and needs to recuperate for a while."

"During this time, you need to be careful."

Qi Yubai nodded.

Then the illusory figure returned to Qi Yubai's storage bag.

Qi Yubai looked at the ruins in front of him and clenched his fist.

"Thunder Palace!!"
