82: Chapter 82 One Sword Sweeps Away the Thunder Tribulation!

Above the firmament, the Lightning Tribulation clouds roiled, as black as ink. An invisible and terrifying majestic heavenly might descended, making all living beings tremble with fear.

Streaks of purple heavenly lightning whistled down like roaring Dragons, churning with destructive auras, violent and terrifying!

Such a Lightning Tribulation.

It was likely that even ordinary third or fourth level Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses would be terrified and would not dare to meet it head-on!

Ji Taichang suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp, boundless sword light bloomed within his pupils, causing the world to tremble as if the universe itself were resonating with him!

The Nascent Soul within Ji Taichang's Dantian also stood up, and the illusory image of a golden sharp sword in its hand slashed horizontally upward!

A streak of golden Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, striking the firmament and cleaving the world apart. It collided violently with the sky full of purple heavenly lightning, erupting into a vast expanse of brilliant light that illuminated both heaven and earth!

A shocking scene occurred.

Under Ji Taichang's heaven-shaking sword strike, those purple heavenly lightnings instantly shattered, and even the Lightning Tribulation clouds were swept away. The gloomy and dark clouds dissipated, restoring the clear, bright sky!

That purple heavenly lightning transformed into brilliant light rain, scattering and merging into Ji Taichang's body, tempering his Nascent Soul and Physical Body!

With this, Ji Taichang successfully stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage!

Furthermore, a Cultivation Technique appeared in his mind, named the Blood Lotus Art!

This had appeared along with the cultivation he obtained from Black Fiend Demon Venerable; just like the Blazing Fire Art Ji Taichang had obtained before, it was the primary Cultivation Technique Black Fiend Demon Venerable practiced in life.

"This Supreme Sword Bone is truly powerful and terrifying!"

Ji Taichang's consciousness sank into his chest and Dantian, sensing that the Supreme Sword Bone had grown significantly. The power it contained became increasingly terrifying, and even his Nascent Soul now possessed an additional sharp sword!

With Ji Taichang's current strength, if he were to Face Luo Hongyi again, he could easily defeat her even without using Blood Burst!

This discovery made him increasingly pleasantly surprised and excited!!

"From now on, this seat is also a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!"

The corner of Ji Taichang's mouth curled into a smirk, his mood excellent!

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivation was enough to establish a Sect and dominate a region in the Great Wu Dynasty; even the Great Wu Dynasty Imperial Family would have to give him some Face!

"Just 10% of Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation could let me enter the Nascent Soul Stage. It seems that old fogey's cultivation before he died was extremely high!"

"I must make good use of this Luo Hongyi. I'll first raise her favorability, and it won't be too late to kill her after I've squeezed out every bit of her utility..."

Ji Taichang licked his lips, a bold idea surfacing in his heart.

It was impossible to actually take her in.

Luo Hongyi had served two generations of Blood Lotus Sect leaders and had committed all sorts of evils like burning, killing, and looting. Ji Taichang would not touch her, but he still wanted Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation!

...

"Today is a good day..."

Ji Taichang hummed a happy little tune, stepping on his golden feather flying sword, and soon crossed the vast land to return to Lanzhou City.

After several rounds of competition, the Alchemy Assembly had entered its climax. Alchemists from various Sects competed against each other, each using their own methods.

But Ji Taichang lost interest after just a glance.

The Alchemy Assembly was divided into competitions for first, second, and Third-Grade Alchemists. As for fourth-grade Alchemists, there were only a few in the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and they were all Great Master powerhouses that could be counted on one's fingers!

Divine Physician Elder Li and Shao Yangzi were among the best of them!

But before a powerhouse like Ji Taichang, who was an Alchemy King, even the competition between Third-Grade Alchemists seemed somewhat shallow and dull.

"Fellow Daoist Ji."

The Prince of Lanzhou's eyes brightened when he saw Ji Taichang return, and he nodded in greeting.

For some reason.

The Prince of Lanzhou faintly felt that Ji Taichang seemed a bit different, possessing a more unfathomable temperament, and even his cultivation aura was no longer visible.

He increasingly felt that Ji Taichang was mysterious and extraordinary, so he pulled Ji Taichang into small talk, testing him and trying to fish for information about Ji Taichang and the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

But Ji Taichang was also an old fox. Facing the Prince of Lanzhou's probing, he answered flawlessly without revealing a single bit of information.

...

The intense Alchemy Assembly continued for three full days.

Everyone was a cultivator and didn't need to sleep at all. After three days of competition, the top ten of each grade were decided, and they could go to the Royal Capital to participate in the finals of the Alchemy Assembly!

As Ji Taichang expected, Yang Yao made it into the top ten, while the rest of the Alchemy Hall Disciples were completely wiped out.

"Senior Ji! I did it!"

"I've made it into the top ten!"

Seeing the results come out, Yang Yao was so excited she jumped up. Her bountiful curves bounced along with her, making Ji Taichang's eyes widen slightly and his heart heat up.

"Congratulations, Yaoyao!"

Lin Xueyue's Face was full of smiles as she took her best friend's hand and congratulated her.

"Hehehe, it's all thanks to Senior Ji's excellent teaching..."

Yang Yao stuck out her tongue.

Although she really wanted to throw herself into Ji Taichang's arms and celebrate with him, she didn't dare to act rashly in front of her best friend and could only force down the restlessness in her heart.

"Congratulations to all Fellow Daoists, and congratulations to young friend Yang..."

The Prince of Lanzhou also brought the people from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion over to offer personal congratulations and presented a generous prize to each Alchemist who made it into the top ten.

Lanzhou was a long way from the Royal Capital.

Next, everyone rested in Lanzhou City for a night, preparing to set off for the Royal Capital tomorrow for the finals of the Alchemy Assembly.

That night.

Ji Taichang turned off the lights to "rest" early.

A small and delicate figure sneakily pushed open Ji Taichang's door, closed it quickly, and dove into Ji Taichang's blankets like a thief.

"Husband, husband!"

"I've made it into the top ten! How are you going to reward me?"

Yang Yao threw herself onto Ji Taichang, her smooth and white little feet swaying gently on the bed, her pure and pretty Face full of a joyful smile.

Coming from a small Sect like the Qingyun Sect, she had defeated many Alchemists from the two clans, one Sect, and the Lanzhou Princes Mansion to forcefully break into the top ten, which made her very excited!

Ji Taichang gave a wicked laugh and squeezed Yang Yao's large bowls: "What kind of reward do you want?"

Yang Yao's pretty Face felt a bit hot, but she still licked her lips, tied up her hair, and quickly lowered her head.

...

Half an hour later.

While the two were in the middle of a passionate duo session, a knock suddenly sounded at the door, accompanied by a cool and pleasant voice: "Senior Ji, are you asleep?"

"Xue... Sister Xueyue!?"

Yang Yao's body suddenly stiffened as if struck by lightning!

"Oh no, oh no..."

Her Face was full of shame and nervousness as she hurriedly scrambled up to dress, tidied up the "battlefield," and quietly flew out of the window, scurrying back to her own room.

"This girl..."

Ji Taichang shook his head with a smile and also dressed properly, calming the blood and Qi in his body. With a wave of his hand, his Nascent Soul Stage power swept through, clearing away all the scents in the room.

After getting ready, Ji Taichang opened the door to let Lin Xueyue in.

Lin Xueyue was wearing a black dress. Her expression was dignified and elegant, with a hint of a cold temperament, but her figure was plump and proud, possessing an amazing impact.

She looked around to ensure no one was there before quickly closing the door, throwing herself into Ji Taichang's arms like the wind and taking the initiative to kiss him!

"Mm? This is..."

After some intimacy, Lin Xueyue blinked her eyes, faintly sensing another aura that felt slightly familiar...

Before she could think carefully about what that aura was, Ji Taichang's passion flared up, and he suddenly flipped her over!

Soon, Lin Xueyue covered her mouth, intermittently letting out soft "ohoho" moans.
