Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 392 Upgrade.
Shi Lang decided to place the array core later and held Shi Tao's hand. Then he appeared outside the valley. He looked at the guard who was staring at him as if he has seen a ghost and said, "Channel the message, till the black clouds disperse, this valley is off-limits. If someone wishes to seek instant death, then feel free to explore."
The guard nodded hastily and began to pass on the message. Shi Tao asked, "Dad, what is that?"
Shi Lang said, "That, my dear, is a heavenly tribulation." 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Shi Tao asked, "What is that?"
Shi Lang sighed and said, "When your cultivation reaches a level where your existence is something against the rules of the heavens, they send out a tribulation to test your worth. If you can pass the tribulation, then your foundation is stable and your strength increases. However, failing the tribulation means death."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "Does that mean I will also have to face this tribulation?"
Shi Lang nodded and when he saw the guards around he walked down the mountain, and said, "Yes, one day when you are strong enough, you will have to face this tribulation. Your tribulation will be stronger and harder than anyone of the people facing it right now."
Shi Tao asked, "Why do you say so?"
Shi Lang sighed and said, "Remember the seals I placed on you?"
Shi Tao nodded and the young man said, "Your special physique absorbs spiritual energy faster and you can cultivate faster too. This physique is something that comes to the world by a coincidence and can defy the heavens. Thus, the harder tribulation."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "Will you help me face that tribulation, dad?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I wish I could do that love, but the more I help you the harder the tribulation will be. So, I will train you to the best that I can, and then my baby will be able to rock the heavens."
Shi Tao nodded and then asked, "So, who is going to face the tribulation now?"
"The people from Ace division. Jill and Sonic are the strongest. While they will be the first to break through, their tribulation will be helpful to the rest as well." replied, Shi Lang.
That said, the two came down the mountain and Crystal appeared next to Shi Lang. She asked the same question as Shi Tao and got the same answer too. The soldiers had been informed to retreat a little. They all were somewhat scared when they saw the red lightning swimming through the clouds.
Shi Lang dropped Shi Tao at the barrack and came to the outer periphery of the tribulation. He was going to watch his team go through the tribulation. This event was going to be a rare occurrence that might bring forth a chance for him to comprehend something in the lightning pool.
The shura sutra had some techniques that were based on lightning. These techniques held super destructive powers, but Shi Lang had yet to start any of them. The reason was that he had never sensed the need to use such methods.
However, now that he was going to entangle with the people from the cultivation world, the obstacles will be harder and he might face stronger enemies within the Beast clans. The strength displayed by Cara Baley, was enough to shock him. He did not wish to be as vulnerable as he seemed in front of her.
Thinking about this he watched as Jill faced her tribulation. The process was simple, what he wanted to comprehend was the destructive ability of the lightning. Shi Lang did not have great comprehension, he was considered average, but this was something he had done in his past life. In his last life, he did not have the Shura Sutra, but he has seen experts that used lightning elements to crush their enemies.
In his free time, he would always look for things and sutras that could get him to comprehend the art of lightning elements. This time he had the aid of the Shura sutra. He had the techniques, and he will use them.
Shi Lang watched the lightning and found that the lightning was erratic, it did not have a set pattern. This set allowed it to be very random and very harmful to people. Thinking along this line, he closed his eyes and began to remember his feelings during the tribulations. The lightning that he had absorbed during this time, had changed his body a little and he had some affinity towards lightning.
The young man was not like the others who would try and deflect the lightning, he would absorb them and change himself bit by bit. Shi Lang was simply too odd for the cultivators of this age. In the past when the world crawled with cultivators, there would be geniuses who would absorb the heavenly lightning to improve themselves.
As he recalled the feeling, he comprehended the surface of the techniques. While he was doing this, Jill finished her tribulation, and the cliff had changed drastically by the impact of the lightning. Shi Lang was unaware of all this.
Sonic had taken up his tribulation and after barely passing it, he yelled at the sky and went back to meditate and consolidate his foundation. Shi Lang was standing in the void, when the clouds began to disperse, however, the next moment, something happened. The thunderclouds began to gather around Shi Lang.
The young man stood in the center of the tribulation clouds, and the sparks of lightning began to emerge in the clouds. The clouds were sentient and they were offended by this young man emitting the aura of the lightning element in their presence. So they came around him to tell him who is the boss.
Shi Lang did not mind anything that was happening around him. The clouds began firing lightning streaks against him. However, the streaks did not fall on his body, instead, they began to move around the young man. It was as if he was a god of lightning. The lightning tingled over his skin, and his hair and his entire body were covered with streaks of lightning moving all over him like snakes.
The young man did not open his eyes, and the people below began to discuss. The high brass at the base, had all come over to the abandoned valley, this was the first time when the surface of the planet was kissed by the lightning. The storms on the planet were more similar to that of the sand storms, and after the atmosphere was created by Terra-forming, the storms had become rare.
This time there was no rain and no wind, yet there was lightning falling over the people. The information of heavenly tribulation was kept under wraps so as to not scare off the new cultivators. This was something that Shi Lang had opposed but he could not say anything against the majority of the general council.
...
Shi Tao was sitting in the barrack when Crystal walked over and smiled at the girl. The girl returned the smile and Crystal asked, "Tao, do you want to play a game?" 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
Shi Tao was getting bored when she sat alone so a game was enough to attract her attention. The girl nodded and Crystal said, "One question and one answer. If you reply truthfully, I will give you one spirit stone."
Shi Tao shook her head and said, "Wrong, I do not want spirit stone, my dad will get me those from time to time."
Crystal smiled and asked, "What do you want then?"
Shi Tao replied, "I want to know about you. Dad has told me that you are from a world of immortals and that your elders are all very strong."
Crystal nodded and said, "Yes, I will answer whatever you want."
Shi Tao then began to ask her about a variety of things, and the lady answered. Crystal was confused as to why was she speaking so much and why had the situation changed so early. However, after an hour when Shi Tao was tired and bored, she said, "It was fun, Big sister Crystal."
Shi Tao smiled and Crystal said, "My turn to ask."
Well, Shi Tao was a girl whose origins were not clear to her, so she wanted to ask and find out why Shi Lang loved her so much, however, her wishes were left alone, when she wanted to ask, Jill returned with Sonic beside her. They had yet to consolidate their foundation but it will take some time, so they decided to come over and take some rest.
Jill said in a low voice, "What do you want to ask our princess?"
Shi Tao saw them return and began to run around them while asking a variety of questions. Jill was more than happy to answer her and looked at Crystal, who was sitting at a loss. She said, "Sonic, take the child out for a stroll, I have something to discuss with the princess."
