“What!” Before Jing Qi could react, his whole body hit the ground with a bang. The array surrounding him disappeared instantly, and even the Origin-Returning Pearl on him cracked. “How can this be!” His face was full of disbelief, and with a pain in his heart, he spitted out blood.

　　The great amount of sword qi produced by Yi Qing cracked even the ground, and the isolation array at the side was, of course immediately broken. Yet the sword qi over his body was still rising tremendously. Sword flashes could be seen all around and a white sword qi surrounded him, and gradually took shape. Within a short while a giant white dragon was formed. The shadow-like giant dragon roared.

　　Not only Jing Qi who was inside the field, but even those on the audience stand felt a buzz in their ears and a tremble in their hearts.

　　“This… this is sword intent!” Never had they seen such a strong sword intent, it was just like… a real dragon. Everyone was stunned. Was he indeed merely a Golden Core cultivator?

　　Yi Qing looked straight towards Jing Qi opposite him, who kept vomiting blood, his eyes shone like it contained an all-destructive fire. He said word by word, “Stay away from my master, little bastard!”

　　As he finished speaking, the giant dragon formed by sword intent opened its huge mouth and rushed right towards the person in front.

　　Jing Qi’s eyes widened, and the fear for death hit him. He forgot all his sword techniques and Dharma spells, and started screaming loudly, “Help! Save me…”

　　“Holy shit, Yi Qing!” Lonemoon was shocked. How did he suddenly get angry? With such a sword intent hitting him, the intruder would not even have his ash left, not to mention staying alive. He couldn’t die just yet! A rush of anxiety came to him, and he flew right into the field. But just as he was about to stop it, someone had been quicker than him.

　　“Chef!” Shen Ying suddenly appeared beside him, and she called out.

　　The person who was advancing rapidly a moment ago trembled, and the Sword Qi dragon also came to a violent halt. It stopped directly less than a finger’s distance from Jing Qi, and its lifelike whiskers touched his face, producing two blood stains. He was so scared that he rolled his eyes and fainted.

　　“Ma-ster?” Yi Qing turned his head, and instantly all the anger in his disappeared. He turned and directly hugged the person. “Master, don’t…” Don’t you worry about other little bitches.

　　In the next moment, the Sword Qi all around him, together with that giant dragon, disappeared into thin air.

　　And he also swayed, as though he had exhausted all his strength, and fell upon Shen Ying.

　　“Chef? Chef!”

　　“He’s going to complete Nascent Soul Formation!” Lonemoon looked at the rapidly increasing Spirit Qi all over Chef, and he frowned immediately. That was why he opposed Chef joining some contest. “Bring him back to Invincible Peak!”

　　His one hand supported Chef, and his other dragged Shen Ying. He looked up towards Lou Hong on the audience stand and said, “Sect master, the rest is for you to take charge.” With that said, he directly flew on his sword towards Invincible Peak.

　　Lou Hong was yet to recover from the astonishing sword qi just now. Only after they had left did he make a late response, “Oh, okay!”

　　Wait a moment!

　　Just now Supremacy Lonemoon was saying, Nascent Soul Formation? Yi Qing!

　　So the sword qi just now was from his epiphany!

　　A Nascent Soul cultivator less than 20 years old?!!

　　(⊙_⊙)

　　All sects present thought about this, and for a time, the whole place remained silent.

　　Nobody remembered Jing Qi, who was still unconscious from shock.

　　——————

　　Once Lonemoon had returned to Invincible Peak and placed Yi Qing on flat ground, he hurried to make a few lightning-attracting arrays. It mattered less at Core Formation level, but the Lightning Tribulation of Nascent Soul period was special. Without making any noise, who would believe that he was completing Nascent Soul Formation?

　　“Father Niu, what are you doing?” Shen Ying looked at Father Niu busying around, and her expression was blank.

　　“Making lightning-attracting arrays, of course!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her. “Even a blind man could realize that sword qi of his just now couldn’t belong to a Golden Core cultivator. So we must make him complete Nascent Soul Formation as soon as possible.” He was most familiar with the ways of immortal cultivators. Should Yi Qing keep being at Golden Core level, they would inevitably wonder where that kind of sword qi came from. They would definitely try to ask around. They weren’t afraid for themselves, but Honesty Sect were sure to suffer too. They were here for lodgment anyway, and couldn’t make the sect bear the burden for them.

　　“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded, took a bite of a fruit and said, “Must it be a red lightning?”

　　“Red?” Lonemoon stopped short. “What red lightning?” There was no such thing as a red Lightning Tribulation.

　　“Like that!” She pointed towards the sky.

　　Lonemoon was stunned. He looked up and saw that somehow large amounts of lightning clouds had suddenly filled the sky. Small flashes red lightning appeared among the clouds from time to time.

　　“Holy shit!” He was shocked. “How could there be a Lightning Tribulation? Didn’t you say that with his cultivation, he only needed to pass through the process smoothly?”

　　“I don’t know!” Shen Ying’s head inclined. “Maybe it’s different this time round.”

　　“Different?” Lonemoon was stunned. Speaking of which, the sword intent that Chef used just now was indeed different from the past. In the past, his sword intent was a giant golden sword, and it was only cultivated because Shen Ying taught him some ‘one strong man can overcome ten’ nonsense. Yet what appeared just now was in the shape of a dragon. It actually looked rather like Chef’s real body as a dragon. Could this be the reason the Lightning Tribulation was drawn?

　　But, whatever the case, there shouldn’t be a red Lightning Tribulation. It’s not like he himself never completed a Nascent Soul Formation. Regarding Lightning Tribulation, he also experienced quite a lot. Red lightning would only appear in…

　　His face whitened, as his eyes widened sharply. He looked in the direction of Chef in disbelief. Red Lightning Tribulation… He had only seen it in the Demon World. Why would Chef draw a demonic lightning?

　　His heart sank. He examined Chef’s body carefully, and indeed saw a hint of faint demonic qi. And Chef’s look didn’t seem right as well. Apparently, all his past rises in level were all finished with merely sleeping and waking. But his expression now seemed extremely painful, his forehead covered with sweat and his eyes closed tight, as though he was fighting something.

　　This is… Mental Demon Tribulation!

　　“Holy shit, Chef actually ignited Mental Demon Tribulation!” His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief. “How can he possibly have a mental demon?!” Among the three of them, Chef must have been the one with the purest mind. It was like a straight road towards the end for him. By right, anyone could have a mental demon but Yi Qing! Why for just a simple repetition, he actually got a mental demon?

　　“What happened? Do you know what’s his mental demon?”

　　Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, and she seemed to remember something. Only after a while did she reply, “Let’s see first.”

　　The first Lightning Tribulation already came down, and it hit Chef directly. The person who looked painful at first opened his mouth and spat out blood. His expression worsened.

　　One Lightning Tribulation following another fell, and his expression grew even more painful. His body was hurt all over, and his breath was very weak.
