Chapter 239: Gu Insects for Resisting Lightning Tribulation: Tribulation Lightning Gu

"That's right, they just vanished like that."

"To be honest, we also find it very strange."

"How could those Golden Core families just disappear like that?"

"Even if the Beast Tide was terrifying, they still had Third-tier Arrays to protect them."

"Normally, they should have been able to hold out for a long time, not end up with their homes destroyed and their people dead."

"After a thorough investigation later, there might be traces of Demonic Cultivators."

Leng Yuexi said very solemnly.

Because the appearance of Demonic Cultivators represents a fatal crisis.

They not only threaten Golden Core families but also threaten their three major Golden Core sects.

It can be said that Demonic Cultivators are the common enemy of many prestigious and righteous sects.

"Traces of Demonic Cultivators?"

"You mean, it is very likely that Demonic Cultivators intervened."

"Secretly sabotaging the Third-tier Arrays of those Golden Core families."

"That is what led to the complete destruction of those Golden Core families."

Zhou Sui understood the meaning behind Leng Yuexi's words in an instant; after all, if it weren't for human sabotage of the Third-tier Arrays, those Golden Core families could not have been destroyed so quickly.

Because those Golden Core families had survived for hundreds, or even thousands of years.

They were also quite experienced in dealing with Beast Tides.

If there hadn't been third-party factors involved, how could they have encountered such a catastrophe?

Without a doubt, it must have been Demonic Cultivators intervening, secretly destroying the Third-tier Arrays, and combined with the effect of the Beast Tide, those Golden Core families would naturally be destroyed, their homes ruined, and their clans wiped out.

This was purely a man-made disaster, not a natural one.

"Husband is right."

"I had also sent people to investigate those places before."

"On those Three-Tier Islands, I did indeed detect some traces of Demonic Cultivators."

"Unfortunately, after they looted the wealth of the Golden Core families, they vanished rapidly."

"To this day, we have been unable to find their tracks."

Shen Biqian said with great regret.

After all, these Demonic Cultivators also pose a huge threat to Xianxia City.

If they could secretly harm those Golden Core families, they could naturally harm Xianxia City as well.

Unfortunately, these Demonic Cultivators are all proficient in Escape Techniques and Concealment Techniques.

No matter how much they investigated, they could not find the slightest clue.

This has also become a major hidden danger for Xianxia City.

"To tell the truth, those Demonic Cultivators have also set their sights on our Xianxia City."

"Unfortunately, under our strict defenses, those Demonic Cultivators still did not succeed."

"More importantly, our Third-tier Arrays were all hidden by you, Husband."

"Those Demonic Cultivators could not find the Array Nodes, and thus had no way to sabotage our Third-tier Arrays."

Lin Yazhu said in a deep voice.

This naturally benefits from Zhou Sui's Third-Tier High-Grade Array Master cultivation, having laid out many fake Array Nodes.

It is enough to confuse many Demonic Cultivators.

Coupled with the Sub-Gu left by the Array Heart Gu, it is equivalent to these Third-tier Arrays giving birth to an Array Spirit.

It can automatically detect various data of the array and conceal its aura.

And it doesn't need other Array Masters to maintain it at all.

This point is extremely important.

Once an array requires an Array Master to maintain it, it might be targeted by enemies, and if the location of the Array Nodes is discovered, it might be sabotaged by the enemy.

But now, the arrays laid out by Zhou Sui do not need maintenance at all.

Those Demonic Cultivators are at their wits' end, with no way to start.

This has also led to Xianxia City remaining safe and sound to this day.

After all, without destroying the Third-tier Array, those Demonic Cultivators dare not kill their way in.

"Looking at it this way, these Demonic Cultivators really deserve to be killed by everyone."

"With a great disaster at hand, we actually didn't expect them to step in and help."

"But not helping is one thing; I didn't expect them to actually engage in secret sabotage and take the opportunity to rob."

"They are simply a bunch of parasites."

Zhou Sui was a bit angry, feeling that this group of Demonic Cultivators were simply guys who harmed others without benefiting themselves. Didn't they know that if the Sea Clan won, the Human Race would have no place to stand in the Canglan Sea?

Although he is also a somewhat selfish person, he would not do such things that harm others without benefiting himself and damage the race.

Those Demonic Cultivators truly deserve to be killed by everyone.

It is not without reason that they are wanted by prestigious and righteous sects.

"I believe Husband also knows the reason for the rapid rise of our Xianxia City."

"Our sea area has become incomparably chaotic precisely because of threats like Demonic Cultivators, Robber Cultivators, Sea Clan cultivators, and Monster Beasts; the only safe place is our Samsung Island Group."

"Although the death of those Golden Core families has led to a large number of Three-Tier Islands becoming vacant."

"But these places have long been occupied by Third-tier Monster Beasts, and ordinary Cultivators simply don't have the strength to snatch them back."

"Thus, the cultivators on these islands, dragging their families along, have brought a large number of mortals to migrate to our islands."

"Currently, the population of Xianxia City exceeds five million."

"However, besides Xianxia City, many other mortal cities have actually been built."

"The population of these mortals also exceeds fifty million, scattered across various islands."

"Of course, the addition of these people has also accelerated our development of the Samsung Island Group."

Ji Bingyu introduced the current situation of the Samsung Island Group.

Due to the large number of Cultivators fleeing from the northern sea area, as well as those fleeing from nearby, the population of the Samsung Island Group has increased geometrically.

The arrival of these Cultivators naturally brought with it countless resources.

Basically, every year, Xianxia City is able to obtain substantial profits from these Cultivators.

Collecting rent from these Cultivators alone is enough to make a fortune.

After all, living in Xianxia City is not free; everyone is required to pay rent.

Even trading any items requires paying taxes.

"That's right, it is precisely because of these matters that Husband wants to build a Fourth-tier Array, which happens to align with our interests."

"If the Fourth-tier Array is successfully built, those Sea Clan Cultivators, those demonic cultivators, and Monster Beasts will no longer be anything to fear."

"Our Samsung Island Group will also be completely safe."

Leng Yuexi and the others all looked at Zhou Sui with immense anticipation.

After all, they knew the power of a Fourth-tier Array; even the headquarters of a Nascent Soul Sect only uses a Fourth-tier Array to protect its island.

If a sect is protected by a Fourth-tier Array, it can at least guarantee its heritage will not be extinguished for thousands of years.

This is the true foundation for a thousand years.

Because Cultivators will always die, only an array can remain for ten thousand years.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems I still underestimated the wealth of Xianxia City."

"In that case, I will leave the collection of materials for the Fourth-tier Array to you."

"But you must act in secret and not let others discover it."

"Otherwise, if those demonic cultivators know we intend to build a Fourth-tier Great Array, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause."

Zhou Sui reminded them.

He did not want the fact that the Samsung Island Group was about to build a Fourth-tier Great Array to become common knowledge.

It is best for this Fourth-tier Great Array to serve as a trump card.

When the enemy attacks the Samsung Island Group, it will be enough to make them suffer.

Let the enemy experience the might of his array.

"Rest assured, Husband, just leave this matter to us."

Ji Bingyu and the others said with full confidence.

They were already well-versed in such matters and maintained good trade relations with other islands.

Purchasing these supplies was simply an easy task.

"Yazhu, how is your situation now?"

"How are the preparations for Shatter Core Form Infant going?"

Zhou Sui looked at Lin Yazhu. Over these years, Lin Yazhu had been preparing for Shatter Core Form Infant, using items for Shatter Core Form Infant to purge impurities from her body, thereby meeting the requirements for Shatter Core Form Infant.

"Not bad."

"The first stage of Shatter Core Form Infant, Shatter Core Form Infant, should not be much of a problem."

"What I fear is the second stage, the Heart Demon Tribulation."

"And the third stage, the Heavenly Tribulation."

Lin Yazhu said with some worry. Even with items for Shatter Core Form Infant on her, she could not guarantee a hundred percent success in Shatter Core Form Infant.

If one cannot overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation, one will still die and vanish.

Moreover, one can only rely on oneself for this stage.

Even among Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators, many have fallen at this stage.

"Do not be afraid. I have a way to help you overcome the second stage, the Heart Demon Tribulation."

"As for the third stage, the Heavenly Tribulation, I have also found a way."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

The Demon Summoning Heart Sutra he practices is precisely a supreme Secret Technique for dealing with Heart Demons; he can use the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra to summon the Heart Demon within Lin Yazhu's body and then let the Dream Soul Gu eat it.

In this way, Lin Yazhu will be able to pass the second stage without any danger.

As for the third stage, the Heavenly Tribulation, he had actually found a way.

That is to refine a new Gu Insect, named the Tribulation Thunder Gu.

This type of Gu Insect is very special; it feeds on the Tribulation Lightning of heaven and earth and can control all lightning in the world, with infinite mysteries.

If the Tribulation Thunder Gu can be refined, then this Gu Insect can be used to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

It would greatly reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The problem is that the main material for refining the Tribulation Thunder Gu is extremely rare; its name is the Thunder Tribulation Fruit.

This is a special kind of spirit fruit.

It is a fruit born from a special spirit tree, formed by absorbing the power of the Thunder Tribulation.

After consuming it, one can have a certain degree of resistance to the Thunder Tribulation.

It can be said to be extremely precious and worth a fortune.

Even at the auctions on Wuji Island, it cannot be found.

This is a rare material that money cannot buy.

Therefore, he intended to use the power of the Object Seeking Gu to find the Thunder Tribulation Fruit.

"What way is there?"

Hearing this, Lin Yazhu and Shen Biqian both widened their beautiful eyes, their expressions incomparably excited.

After all, if a method to survive the Thunder Tribulation were truly found, the success rate of forming a Nascent Soul would be greatly increased.

They also knew their husband had unfathomable means, and perhaps he really could find a way to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Thunder Tribulation.

"As for that, I can't say for now; you will know when the time comes."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

"Husband, tell me about it; I can serve you many times."

"Any cultivation posture is fine."

Shen Biqian hugged Zhou Sui; her voice sounded as if it were naturally gifted, charming to the bone, and exceptionally alluring.

Hearing this, how could Zhou Sui hold back? After all, they were an old married couple, so he didn't care about such things.

Soon, a series of graceful melodies rang out within the bedroom.

…………

At this very moment, within a certain island in the Samsung Island Group, a group of Cultivators was hiding.

They were precisely demonic cultivators from the Black Fiend Sect.

The previous destruction of families such as the Yu Family, the Dai Family, and the Song Family all had a great deal to do with them.

Now, they had also set their sights on Xianxia City.

"Xianxia City is truly a fat sheep, housing over five million Cultivators."

"Just the annual rent alone earns an unknown amount of Spirit Stones."

"If we could ransack Xianxia City, we would likely earn enough Spirit Stones for you and me to form a Nascent Soul."

A Golden Core demonic cultivator's eyes revealed a greedy look.

For demonic cultivators like them, earning money through Spirit-Refining Techniques like Alchemy or making Talismans was absolutely impossible.

Only by robbing and plundering could they barely maintain their lives.

Their main central philosophy was robbery, arson, killing, and looting.

It could be said that most demonic cultivators only had this way of making a living and knew nothing else.

"Stupid, do you think I don't want to ransack Xianxia City?"

"But Xianxia City is truly too dangerous; previously, Chixue Laoguai and other Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators also attacked Xianxia City."

"But what was the result? They were all slaughtered by the three Golden Core female Cultivators of Xianxia City and even taken to the Wuji Alliance to exchange for a bounty."

"You wouldn't want to follow in the footsteps of Chixue Laoguai and the others, would you?"

Another Golden Core demonic cultivator sneered.

He looked at his companion and gave a very stern warning: Xianxia City was not a bone so easy to chew.

"It is said that Chixue Laoguai and the others carried a Third-tier Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, but it still had no effect."

"Because Xianxia City also hides a Third-tier Array Master."

"This Third-tier Array Master seems to be the Dao Companion of those three Golden Core female Cultivators, hiding in the sect to cultivate all day long."

"Even trying to find his whereabouts is an impossible task."

Yet another Golden Core demonic cultivator felt very depressed.

He had always wanted to capture that Third-tier Array Master, but unfortunately, he had never been able to see that brat in Xianxia City.

He stayed holed up inside the mountain gate all day.

It could be said that he had absolutely no opportunity to take advantage of.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly charge into the core area of the Xianxia Sect; how would that be any different from throwing himself into a net?

"That Third-tier Array Master is indeed not simple; his Array Formation cultivation is unfathomable."

"Previously, I tried to find the nodes of the Array, but I gained nothing."

"I was even almost discovered by the patrolling personnel."

"In short, Xianxia City is a hard nut to crack; don't touch it randomly, otherwise we might very well capsize in the gutter."

"We are only here to seek wealth, not to risk our lives."

"Robbery naturally means looking for soft persimmons, not hard nuts."

Another Golden Core demonic cultivator gave his own suggestion.

He felt that Xianxia City was not to be trifled with, as if it were a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, containing immense danger.

Therefore, he had already begun to think about retreating.

"Fine, since none of you want to oppose Xianxia City, then forget it; finding other Three-Tier Islands is the same."

"This attack by the Sea Clan is simply a great opportunity for our Black Fiend Sect."

"Isn't that so? Taking advantage of the chaos created by the Sea Clan, we can also fish in troubled waters and ransack a large number of Golden Core families."

"The harvest of these few years is comparable to the harvest of the past few decades; we have truly struck it rich."

"I hope the war can last a little longer; otherwise, where could we find such an opportunity?"

"But if the Sea Clan wins, what should we do then?"

"Who cares? The world is vast; where can we not go?"

"Exactly, even if we don't stay in the Canglan Sea, we can go elsewhere; I don't believe the Sea Clan can occupy every place, and the Sea Clan might not necessarily win."

"After I die, let the flood come."

Many Black Fiend Sect cultivators discussed among themselves; they were disdainful of the war between the two races, believing that if one does not look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them.
