Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2082 - 2084: Someone in the Tribulation Thunder
The one undergoing the Thunder Tribulation this time is from the Ten Directions Platform.
Feng Jun knew this person was not short of Spirit Stones, so he didn’t care about him undergoing the Thunder Tribulation, "It seems the energy field really is useful."
"The energy field is hard to come by, we should set some rules," True Immortal Wan Qing spoke seriously, "Those with a core formation rate below sixty percent shouldn’t form a core at White Pebble Beach, lest they affect the energy field... As for the Xuanhuang Sect, it’s truly regrettable, but they didn’t have Mountain Master Feng."
True Immortals Wu Nan and Jiu Wei exchanged glances, making no comment on their senior brother’s words.
Feng Jun thought for a moment, then spoke seriously, "The suggestion is good, but... surely some people won’t be reconciled, then what?"
He wasn’t worried about his own people’s opportunity to borrow the energy field, as this was his domain, and he had the final say. Even if someone were to sow discord, the core formation rate was also announced by him.
In other words, even without using privileges, he could bluff his way through by merely fooling around.
Moreover, he was highly skeptical about how long the energy field for core formation could last - even the Xuanhuang Sect couldn’t maintain it, and although Feng Jun thought highly of himself, he would not be so arrogant as to think he could surpass the peak Xuanhuang Sect on his own.
"Then expel them," True Immortal Wan Qing spoke sternly, "The Jinwu Sect is willing to share the same fate with White Pebble Beach."
"Sounds nice," Dantai Weilai couldn’t hold back, "But it’s nothing more than eliminating dissenters. With the ties between your Jinwu Sect and Mountain Master Feng, secretly increasing the core formation rate by a few points is no big deal... So, others will be expelled, but not the Jinwu Sect."
True Immortal Wan Qing shot him a cold glance, "Dantai Daoist... such courage."
"I’m just speaking the truth," Dantai Weilai responded casually, then glanced at Feng Jun.
"Mountain Master Feng, my words are not directed at you. In fact, with your current ability, as long as you remain fair and impartial, no one would dare to slight you. But if you get too close to any side, you might lose your greatest advantage, be cautious!"
"Oh?" Feng Jun looked at him curiously; it was the first time someone from the Dantai family spoke in a way that didn’t irk him.
Seeing his reaction, Dantai Weilai felt a bit smug, "Actually, I’m a straightforward person. True Immortal Yi Jue must also have heard that the Jinwu Sect might harbor hidden malice."
True Immortal Wan Qing looked at him and started to chuckle, but beneath the smile was an undisguisable killing intent.
"Expecting me to ruin Jinwu Sect’s plans?" True Immortal Yi Jue’s thoughts descended, "Your tricks are somewhat clumsy... To me, if the core formation rate with the energy field boost is still below sixty percent, there’s really no need to waste the opportunity."
Dantai Weilai was left speechless, momentarily at a loss for what to say.
"Hmph, petty clan practitioners," True Immortal Wan Qing snorted disdainfully, "The pride of a Seven Sect [Esteemed Sect], you’ll never understand, always using a villain’s heart to measure a gentleman’s intentions!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
At this moment, the tribulation clouds thickened, and no one had the heart to argue further, turning to watch the descent of the Thunder Tribulation.
In fact, closely watching someone form a core and undergo tribulation was beneficial even for those at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, as the Thunder Tribulation not only represents the essence of thunder and lightning but also the will of the Great Dao, and those at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage would gain something if they carefully observed.
True Immortals Wu Nan and Jiu Wei watched intently, accustomed to occasionally witnessing junior disciples forming cores in the Jinwu Sect, this opportunity wasn’t rare, but having stumbled upon it by chance, they might as well take the opportunity to gain some insight.
Dantai Weilai, however, watched with eyes nearly ablaze. The energy field... so formidable, how could the Dantai family miss such an opportunity?
Feng Jun sensed his emotional change, glanced at him, then spoke indifferently, "Once I successfully guide the Spirit Vein, there will be more positions available for core formation, we can discuss it further then."
Dantai Weilai laughed dismissively, "Success in guiding the Spirit Vein? That would take thirty to fifty years; by then, whether the energy field still exists... is another matter. Besides, the energy field’s located at White Pebble Beach, not the Spirit Vein!"
Feng Jun had considered this issue long ago; he casually waved a hand, "Do you know what an energy field is? A faint energy field radiation also exists where your Dantai family is, so the gradual transfer of the energy field isn’t difficult... don’t speak nonsense about what you don’t understand!"
It wasn’t that he had suddenly become arrogant, he had finally realized he hadn’t been using the "saving one person killing one person" character setting correctly, lacking a bit of audacity, and the current Dantai family was the perfect target for him to play this persona.
Damn... Dantai Weilai was almost angered to death, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, do you speak to a True Immortal like this?
However, being someone who had lived for over two thousand years, he forcefully restrained his shame and anger, incredulously asking, "We have an energy field too, where we are?"
"I can tell you, open your eyes," Feng Jun shook his head, still using that infuriatingly contemptuous tone.
"The energy field is not just an energy field. Firstly, it has radiation, and secondly, it influences people. Shenmin from the Dantai family could sense the core formation, do you really think he didn’t benefit from the energy field?"
"It’s clear he benefitted, yet your Dantai family still bares its teeth at me, such shallow insight... shouldn’t I look down on you?"
His words became increasingly sharp, but strangely, Dantai Weilai’s attitude actually improved — he was the Elder in charge of the Enforcement Hall, and his professional habit made him irritable. However, he was also one of the people in the Dantai family with the greatest sense of the bigger picture.
At this moment, the sense of the bigger picture overwhelmed his professional character, and he expressed very politely, "What Fellow Daoist Feng said is unheard of to me. If you could elaborate further, I would be most grateful... The rules of the fellow Daoist’s aura are unclear; could it be that you have already mastered it?"
He was certainly suspicious, but his tone was more of consultation.
Feng Jun gave him a faint look and shook his head, "I have not mastered the rules, but I undoubtedly know more than you!"
His attitude made True Immortal Wan Qing almost drop her eyes, wondering if the Feng Jun she knew before was a fake Feng Jun.
Or perhaps, seeing us backing him, he got a little carried away?
Yet the more Feng Jun acted this way, the more courteous Dantai Weilai became — some of the things mentioned by the other party had already surpassed what was contained in the treasured tomes of the Dantai family. Such knowledge, the more the better, "How much did Shenmin increase his chance of forming the Core under the influence of the aura?"
"You know nothing, I have no interest in talking to you," Feng Jun’s words became increasingly hurtful, "Perhaps True Immortal Yi Jue can explain a bit to you... she is also good at divination, at least she can prove I wasn’t lying to you."
"You’re indeed not lying," True Immortal Yi Jue’s intent reappeared, yet her arrogance exceeded Feng Jun’s, "But I’m not interested in explaining to anyone else... Whatever we say, just listen."
These words left Duanmu Weilai at a loss — my face is already on the floor, can’t you stop stepping on it? After all, I’m also at the Nascent Soul Middle Phase and need to maintain dignity.
Thankfully, just at this moment, the Tribulation Cloud became denser, and the first strike of Tribulation Thunder was brewing, visible to the naked eye.
When the Tribulation Thunder fell, True Immortal Jiu Wei took out a black disc, sprinkled a handful of scarlet beads on it, and began divining.
Though he was only at the Nascent Soul First Layer, he was in fact among the top diviners of the Jinwu Sect. Even his cultivation level being not high was because he was distracted by divination — revealing too much of the celestial mechanism surely results in karmic repercussions.
Many people say True Immortal Jiu Wei would have definitely reached the Nascent Soul Middle Phase had he not been obsessed with divination.
However, True Immortal Jiu Wei himself was not in a hurry. He couldn’t divine his own fate, but he firmly believed that he would have good opportunities in the future — devotion to the Dao shall be rewarded!
The path he chose was divination of the celestial mechanism. This path is not easy, but having chosen it, he has no regrets.
His divination skills were slightly inferior to True Immortal Yi Jue’s, but unlike Yi Jue, he was not interested in divining cultivation techniques; he enjoyed divining the celestial mechanism itself!
For this reason, he suffered more karma than Yi Jue, which significantly slowed his cultivation progress.
However, in the Jinwu Sect, it was believed that his future divination skills would surely surpass True Immortal Yi Jue’s — actually, in the field of divination within Tianqin, there were quite a few notable figures, Yi Jue not being the topmost among them, but she was one of the top in divining cultivation techniques.
His purpose in coming to Kunhao was to explore the mysteries of the fellow Daoist’s aura and to divine its rules — he wasn’t very familiar with True Immortal Wan Qing, and without this goal, he wouldn’t bother competing for the chance to come to Kunhao.
Of course, he was also very interested in Feng Jun, known as "unmatched in divination," because in his view, Feng Jun was far stronger than Yi Jue — Yi Jue only excelled in divining cultivation techniques, and nothing else, but Feng Jun seemed skilled in everything.
He had the thought of discussing and debating the Dao with Feng Jun, but he kept it to himself without expressing it — as the top figure in Jinwu Sect’s divination, he too needed to maintain face.
As he was busy divining, True Immortal Yi Jue and True Immortal Wu Nan were pointing and commenting, Feng Jun felt a bit bored, but from a distance, someone came over quickly. It was Mei Yeyu, "Mountain Master Feng, I have some sense of forming the Core."
Dantai Weilai was already very embarrassed, and seeing this, he took the opportunity to excuse himself and leave.
Upon returning to the Dantai family’s territory, another True Immortal asked, "Elder, what should we do next?"
"What’s there to do?" Dantai Weilai sneered. He was full of unwillingness but had no way to vent, only able to say angrily, "Watch and appease! We’ve long known that Feng Jun is not an ordinary person, why are you guys making a fuss?"
"But... his words were a bit too much just now," another True Immortal felt a bit unwilling, "Can’t he speak nicely? Does he have to be so cold and harsh?"
"He has the qualification," Dantai Weilai replied indifferently, genuinely understanding why Feng Jun was so arrogant.
But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, "Is that... the Thunder Tribulation?"
In the second strike of the Tribulation Thunder, a figure suddenly appeared, completely white, piercing straight through the Thunder Tribulation.
