Just as Song Qingming was thinking, another white light lit up in the dark clouds above the sky.

Following a huge roar, a bolt of Tribulation thunder several times more powerful than the third bolt just now fell quickly, directly hitting the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" on Feng He's head.

This violent attack was already close to the casual blow of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and its power was much stronger than the previous bolts of the Tribulation. For a time, the location where Feng He was had been completely covered by white light, making Song Qingming and the others unable to see the situation inside the formation for a time.

Seeing the Tribulation thunder with such amazing power, all the cultivators present almost showed a bit of exclamation at this moment.

If the person crossing the Tribulation at this moment were replaced by an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator like them, under the Tribulation of this power, even with the help of the formation, I am afraid that few of them would have the confidence to survive.

A moment later, as the white light on the top of the mountain dissipated, a white protective cover reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Seeing Feng He's figure still standing in mid-air, and the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" had not been penetrated by the Tribulation thunder just now, Song Qingming also felt slightly relieved. The power of this set of third-tier top-quality defensive formations was indeed extraordinary and did not disappoint him.

The reason why Feng He wanted to find Song Qingming to help him come to the Donghuang Kingdom to condense the Nascent Soul was actually because he also took a fancy to Song Qingming, a third-tier formation master, who could help him arrange this formation to deal with the Tribulation.

Otherwise, relying only on Feng He, whose formation level was relatively average, not only would it be difficult to complete the arrangement of the formation in such a short time, but the power of the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" would also be much weaker than it is now.

Not long after the fourth bolt of the Tribulation, as the black clouds above continued to roll violently, the fifth bolt of the Tribulation was immediately conceived, and accompanied by a thunder, it fell, directly impacting the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation."

This bolt of the Tribulation was like a fierce thunder beast, tearing the formation that wanted to block it under its thunder light.

The power of the fifth bolt of the Tribulation was three points stronger than the fourth bolt, and it was already comparable to the full-strength blow of an ordinary first-layer Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although he knew that the defensive ability of the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" was not bad, seeing this powerful thunder fall, Song Qingming still couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Feng He in the formation.

Fortunately, after the thunder dissipated, although the white protective cover released by the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" had been beaten by the fierce Tribulation just now to only a thin layer, Feng He in the formation was still safe and sound, carrying the fifth bolt of the Tribulation without any danger.

Song Qingming, who was seeing a cultivator cross the Nascent Soul Tribulation for the first time, saw this, and to tell the truth, his heart was already somewhat admiring Feng He's personal strength and courage.

Feng He, who had already crossed five bolts of the Tribulation in succession, was standing in the formation at this moment, looking up at the sixth bolt of the Tribulation that was brewing in the sky, with no fear in his eyes, but full of anticipation.

"It's already the last bolt of the Tribulation, it's up to you!"

After Feng He whispered to himself, he took out a blue spirit talisman. After crazily injecting the magic power in his body into it, he immediately threw this spirit talisman into the air.

Just as the spirit talisman flew out of the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation," a thunderous roar also came from the sky, shaking the entire high mountain where Feng He was violently.

Song Qingming and the others, who were more than ten miles away, although they were in mid-air, also felt the earth-shaking movement brought by this loud noise, and even the space nearby trembled slightly.

Just after stabilizing his figure, an exclamation sounded in Song Qingming's ear! "Senior Martial Brother Luo, is what this guy took out a fourth-tier Thunder-Resisting Talisman!"

"Not bad! It should be. This person dares to deal with the Tribulation alone, and he must have brought a lot of trump cards. It's just that I didn't expect him to be able to take out such a rare fourth-tier Thunder-Resisting Talisman. It seems that we still underestimated this person."

Seeing the high-tier spirit talisman that Feng He had just used, Luo Tongzhou couldn't help but envy the other party.

Luo Tongzhou was also a cultivator whose cultivation had already reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Jin Dan, and he had already tried to condense the Nascent Soul twice.

Although the first two breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul realm failed and he didn't reach the step of crossing the Tribulation, Luo Tongzhou still had more than a hundred years of longevity and had one last chance to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

If he is lucky, it is very likely that he will face the threat of the Nascent Soul Tribulation like Feng He soon. Whether he can cross this hurdle, to tell the truth, he is not very sure in his heart yet.

After all, spirit talismans above the fourth tier specifically for dealing with the Tribulation are not so easy to find outside! Just as the two were talking, the sixth bolt of the Tribulation, which was more powerful, had already fallen from the sky. The power of the Tribulation was overwhelming, far more powerful than the previous five bolts.

However, before the sixth bolt of the Tribulation fell on the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation," which was already somewhat damaged, a blue light suddenly lit up in mid-air, directly turning into a cyan-blue giant net to block this bolt of the Tribulation in mid-air.

Although the power of this bolt of the Tribulation was strong and could be comparable to the full-strength blow of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, it failed to shake the other party in the slightest when it fell on the blue giant net. Only a small part of the Tribulation passed through the gaps between the giant nets and continued to fall to the ground.

However, the power of these Tribulation thunders that passed through the giant net was already less than one-tenth, and they were easily blocked outside the formation by the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" controlled by Feng He.

A moment later, as the white light in the sky slowly disappeared, this last bolt of the Tribulation also disappeared soon, and then the black clouds above also slowly dissipated, revealing a five-colored glow in the sky.

"Heaven-sent spiritual dew, it really is a successful crossing of the Tribulation!" Seeing this scene, a hint of envy appeared on the faces of the crowd standing on the side.

After waiting in place for a while, the crowd led by Luo Tongzhou came to the top of the mountain.

Seeing Feng He, who was holding several porcelain bottles and collecting some falling spiritual dew in mid-air, Luo Tongzhou led the crowd to bow and salute.

"Greetings, Senior Feng, congratulations on your Nascent Soul success!"

Feng He, who had just crossed the Tribulation and had a slight smile on his face, nodded slightly to the crowd and directly sent a porcelain bottle in his hand to Luo Tongzhou.

"You are all witnesses to my condensing of the Nascent Soul. It is fate today, so I will give this bottle of Earth Spiritual Dew to you!"

"Many thanks for the treasure, Senior!" Seeing the "Earth Spiritual Dew" in his hand, Luo Tongzhou and the dozen or so Jin Dan cultivators beside him all showed a hint of joy on their faces.

This "Earth Spiritual Dew" could also be considered a relatively rare third-tier spiritual water, which generally only falls from the sky in places where cultivators successfully cross the Tribulation.

If this item is swallowed directly by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can increase a layer of cultivation out of thin air. After a Jin Dan cultivator refines it, it can also increase a lot of magic power in the body, which can be considered a rare high-tier spiritual item.

This bottle of spiritual water could be worth at least ten thousand spirit stones if taken outside. Feng He was so generous to give them a bottle, which also made Luo Tongzhou and the others full of joy.

After respectfully thanking Feng He, Luo Tongzhou and the others also very sensibly greeted him and consciously left the place, leaving only Song Qingming and Feng He, who had come here together.

"Congratulations, Senior, for finally getting what you wanted today and breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Looking at Song Qingming, who was also respectful, Feng He scanned the surroundings, then waved his hand slightly to Song Qingming, and the two landed on the ground together.

"This is not a place to talk, come back with me first!"

After spitting out a sentence, Feng He brought Song Qingming to the cave dwelling where he had been practicing in seclusion not far below the top of the mountain.

It was not until he activated a restriction formation at the door of the cave dwelling that Feng He took out two bottles of "Earth Spiritual Dew" that had been filled not long ago and threw them to Song Qingming.

"You have worked hard to accompany me here for so long. This thing is of no use to me, so you take it first!"

For these years, Song Qingming often came here to check the situation. This naturally could not be hidden from Feng He, who had a powerful spiritual sense in the cave dwelling. Most of the time, Feng He was also very clear about every move Song Qingming made near the cave dwelling.

After taking the "Earth Spiritual Dew" given by Feng He, Song Qingming was also very happy in his heart, showing a hint of joy, nodded and thanked him, and immediately put away the spiritual item in his hand.

"Little Friend Song, I have now broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. After I stabilize my cultivation, I will return directly to the Fuyun Mountain Range. What are your plans?"

Hearing Feng He's inquiry, Song Qingming nodded calmly and replied, "This time I came to the Donghuang Kingdom, besides helping Senior practice in seclusion to break through, I also have the intention to travel around here.

If Senior is in a hurry to go back, just go ahead, no need to worry about me. After all, the Donghuang Kingdom cultivation world is so far away, and it is not easy to come here once. This junior estimates that it will take at least a few years of traveling before I go back."

"Mm! Your intention to travel around is also beneficial to your future practice, so I won't ask too much about your affairs. Let's meet again in the Fuyun Mountain Range in the future. Rest assured, I will take the initiative to find you then.

Also, this set of formation has been somewhat damaged. You can try to see if it can be repaired. If not, just take it to the market to deal with it. You can decide this matter yourself."

After Feng He finished speaking, he took out the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" used not long ago and handed it to Song Qingming.

This third-tier top-quality defensive formation had already appeared several cracks on the formation disk during the process of dealing with the Tribulation just now. The power of the formation has been greatly reduced, and it is estimated that it can only barely exert the strength of a third-tier low-quality formation.

Wanting to repair this "Tiangang Five Elements Formation," besides needing a third-tier formation master, one must also find suitable third-tier top-quality materials, which is not an easy thing. This formation is of no use to the current Feng He. Handing it to Song Qingming is also to give him a chance to see if Song Qingming can repair this formation in the future. If not, he can only sell this formation at a discount.

After Song Qingming took the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" and looked at it, he took out more than ten thousand spirit stones from his body and handed them to Feng He as an exchange for this formation.

This "Tiangang Five Elements Formation," which can be used to deal with the Nascent Soul Tribulation, if it can be repaired in the future, its value is far from what ordinary third-tier formations can compare to. Song Qingming knew this very well in his heart.

As early as when Feng He was crossing the Tribulation just now, seeing the power exerted by the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation," Song Qingming was already drooling over this formation in his heart. Feng He naturally knew this, so he wanted to give this formation to him. However, even if it was damaged, the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" could still exert the power of a third-tier low-quality formation. Taking it to the market could at least be exchanged for more than ten thousand spirit stones. Song Qingming was also embarrassed to take such a big advantage of the other party for nothing.

Seeing that Song Qingming insisted on using spirit stones to exchange for this formation, Feng He did not decline and accepted it generously. Then the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Song Qingming bid farewell and left the cave dwelling.

Feng He's affairs had been settled, and Song Qingming did not choose to stay here for long. A few days later, he left a letter to Feng He, who was in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation, and left the "Juxian Alliance" main altar alone.

It had been nearly twelve years since he left the Fuyun Mountain Range and came to the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world.

Now, more than seventy years had passed since the last Northern Frontier demonic beast turmoil, and in about twenty years, the once-in-a-century demonic beast turmoil that threatened the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world of Wei Guo would also be coming.

Although the current strength of the Xiaoyao Sect was slightly better than a hundred years ago, in such a great war facing the large-scale invasion of demonic beasts, every bit of high-tier cultivator power was very important to the Wei Guo cultivation world.

Whether as a guest Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect or the clan leader of the Song family of Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming had no reason to be absent from this great war to protect the human territory.

According to the plan he had thought of in advance, he would stay in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world for at most ten more years, and then Song Qingming should set off to return to Wei Guo.

Because he was worried about Feng He's seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul, Song Qingming had not been to other places in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world besides traveling around Ningzhou, which was controlled by the "Xianyuan Sect."

After leaving the "Juxian Alliance" main altar, Song Qingming went directly north. After spending more than a month, he finally arrived in a small city in Xuanzhou in the north of Ningzhou.

This small city named "Fengyuan City" had only a few thousand cultivators, about the same size as "Guiyunfang" in the Fuyun Mountain Range, and could only be considered an inconspicuous small market in the entire "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world.

However, the cultivators entering and exiting the city here were far more than the "Guiyunfang" Song Qingming had been to.

Not only those low-tier Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators, but even several Jin Dan cultivators with cultivation similar to Song Qingming were seen by Song Qingming when entering the city.

After entering "Fengyuan City," Song Qingming did not wander around the market but very skillfully came directly to a pavilion outside the east of the city.

Just as Song Qingming walked into the pavilion, several Qi Condensation cultivators who were busy organizing a pile of books saw his figure, and one of them hurriedly walked toward him.

"This Senior, what business do you have coming to the Tianji Pavilion?"

Facing a Jin Dan cultivator with profound cultivation like Song Qingming, the shop assistant who stood and asked, although he only had Qi Condensation cultivation, was not nervous at all, as if he were used to dealing with high-tier cultivators.

"I want to find Fellow Daoist Liu Xuan. I wonder if he is here now!"

"The Pavilion Master is upstairs, but the guests we receive today are full. Does Senior have an appointment?" Hearing Song Qingming's answer, the shop assistant did not move immediately but stood in place and asked again.

Song Qingming replied politely, "Five years ago, I already made an appointment with him to come and pick up something. This is my name card, please trouble you to report it."

Seeing the red invitation card handed over by Song Qingming, the shop assistant smiled, nodded to Song Qingming, and ran up along the stairs in the hall on the side.

After Song Qingming waited patiently for a while, the shop assistant ran back and invited Song Qingming: "Senior! The Pavilion Master asks you to wait in the Cuiyun Hall on the second floor for a moment. He will come to see you as soon as he is busy."

"That's good! Trouble you to lead the way."

After following the shop assistant to the second floor of the "Tianji Pavilion," Song Qingming came to a small room with many books and paintings hanging on the wall, decorated very freshly and elegantly.

"Senior, please sit and rest for a while. If you have any needs, just shout outside."

After placing two cups of spiritual tea on the table, the shop assistant greeted Song Qingming with a smile and slowly retreated.

After waiting in this "Cuiyun Hall" for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, light footsteps sounded outside, and then a suave scholar in white clothes pushed the door and walked in.

"Fellow Daoist Song, it's been many years, and you are still as elegant as ever!"

Seeing this scholar in white clothes, Song Qingming also stood up immediately and returned the salute with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li is too kind. I have been traveling outside for the past few years. Today, I happened to be passing by, so I thought of coming to the Tianji Pavilion to take a look.

I wonder if there is any result for the matter I entrusted to you last time?"

This scholar in white clothes was named Li Mengchen, the Pavilion Master of this "Tianji Pavilion," and the matter Song Qingming entrusted to him was the news of the two places "Mount Yuxuan" and "Taixu Palace" that he had been thinking about.

When he participated in the Star Assembly in Wu Guo years ago, Song Qingming once received guidance from Mo Laoguai Mo that there was a place in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world where he could inquire about the places he wanted to find.

Five years ago, Song Qingming followed the address given by Mo Laoguai Mo and found the "Tianji Pavilion" in Fengyuan City, only to know that this was a place specializing in collecting various news in the cultivation world.

Unlike underground cultivation forces that operate various businesses like the "Juxian Alliance," the "Tianji Pavilion" here was just a place that purely traded various news and was not large in scale. The Pavilion Master Li Mengchen, who was responsible for managing this place, was only a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator.

However, although this "Tianji Pavilion" could not be considered a major force, it was a very famous organization in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world. Every day, there would be many high-tier cultivators like Song Qingming coming here to trade news.

Whether it was searching for various precious spiritual items or cultivation techniques that were hard to find on the market, or inquiring about where there were secret realms or spiritual fruits, or like Song Qingming, searching for spiritual mountains or sects he wanted to go to, the "Tianji Pavilion" could help you find the corresponding news.

It's just that they could only provide you with news and intelligence. Whether it would be useful to you after obtaining the news, the "Tianji Pavilion" was not responsible.

Song Qingming had also inquired about "Mount Yuxuan" and "Taixu Palace" in "Xianyuan City" and near Ningzhou for the past few years, but the result made him very disappointed, and he did not get the answer he wanted.

Even a huge underground cultivation force like the "Juxian Alliance" had no impression of these two place names and only helped Song Qingming find a desolate mountain that happened to have the same name as "Mount Yuxuan," and it also wasted more than a hundred spirit stones for nothing.

Therefore, after traveling in Ningzhou for a few years, Song Qingming followed the guidance given by Mo Laoguai Mo years ago and found the "Tianji Pavilion" in Xuanzhou, finding Li Mengchen, who specialized in selling news.

When Mo Laoguai Mo was traveling in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world years ago, he once lived in Fengyuan City for a period of time and gave guidance to Li Mengchen, who had not yet formed a Core. Later, after Li Mengchen successfully formed a Core, the two also became close friends.

Seeing Song Qingming, who brought the letter of guidance from Mo Laoguai Mo, Li Mengchen was also extra polite to him and agreed to help him inquire about "Mount Yuxuan" and "Taixu Palace."

However, there were indeed quite a few places in the entire "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world called by these two names.

Just in the branch pavilion of Tianyuan City managed by Li Mengchen, four or five places related to it were found, but these pieces of information were a bit messy and had many discrepancies with the spiritual mountain holy land Song Qingming wanted to find.

In order to help Song Qingming successfully find those two places, Li Mengchen promised him that he would help inquire from several other branch pavilions of the "Tianji Pavilion" and let Song Qingming come to find him after a period of time.

Hearing Song Qingming mention this matter as soon as they met, Li Mengchen also knew that he was a bit anxious in his heart, so he did not deliberately delay and directly took out a scroll that had already been prepared.

"Fellow Daoist Song, over the past few years, according to your requirements, I have selected all the places related to that name in the Donghuang Kingdom, including other cultivation worlds near the continent."

"There are seven places that are relatively close to your requirements, five of which are within the "Donghuang Kingdom." If you still can't find them in these places, then this place should not be in our Donghuangxian Continent, and you might have to go to other large continents to try your luck in the future."

"Mm! In short, there is a result. Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Li."

Song Qingming took the scroll from Li Mengchen's hand, opened it and scanned it carefully, then nodded to him with a smile, and took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to him.

Seeing that Song Qingming was very satisfied with the scroll he took out, Li Mengchen, who had collected the spirit stones, hesitated slightly and then said to Song Qingming: "Fellow Daoist Song! You also know that this pavilion has always only traded news and has no obligation to explain anything more. However, since you were introduced by Big Brother Mo, I still want to remind you."

"Among those seven locations, one place is very mysterious and I am afraid it will be a bit dangerous. I have already marked it in the scroll. If Fellow Daoist insists on going there, I hope you will be more careful."
