Chapter 98: Heading to the Thunder Pool (Bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader)

"Ah?"

Xu Que was stunned, "What's wrong? Didn't you say we were setting off tomorrow?"

"It would have been fine, but not now." Su Ling'er shook her head, pointed at the Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pills in his hand, and said: "These pills will bring us a fatal disaster. We must set off as soon as possible!"

"What's going on?" Xu Que frowned.

"Two reasons. First, there must still be traitors in my tribe, but I don't know who they are yet. If they leak the news about the Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pills, within a few days, all the alien tribes will kill their way to the Heaven Demon Tribe, and even the Demon Beast Race will launch a massive attack on us."

Su Ling'er paused here and looked at Xu Que with a hint of apology. "The second reason is our tribe's Ancestor. Given her temperament, if she knew you could refine Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pills, she would definitely imprison you. At first, I really wanted to invite you to join our tribe, but now... if you stay, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life."

"You don't have to worry about that. Your Ancestor can't keep me!" Xu Que said indifferently.

However, he was indeed a bit worried about the first reason Su Ling'er mentioned!

For the human race, the Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pill didn't have much effect. After all, the Heavenly Tribulation of human cultivators wasn't difficult to pass, at least in the early stages. Therefore, the Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pill wasn't considered very precious in the eyes of human cultivators and hadn't attracted attention, so it gradually lost its inheritance.

But for alien tribes or demon beasts, this kind of lightning avoidance pill was simply precious beyond measure. Even a hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills couldn't be exchanged for one, let alone the fact that Xu Que had refined ten at once. More importantly, once alien tribes and demon beasts found out, they would definitely want to capture him.

What Xu Que feared least was being the enemy of the whole world. He had plenty of means to use, but if he ran away and implicated the Heaven Demon Tribe, it would be a bit unscrupulous.

So these Grand Pure Lightning Avoidance Pills really couldn't be left in the Heaven Demon Tribe, otherwise, it would be a case of "a man's wealth is his own ruin"!

"Don't hesitate. Let's set off now. Before they find out, let's rush to the Thunder Pool!" Su Ling'er said with a hint of anxiety.

Xu Que nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you, but... is it safe once we get to the Thunder Pool?"

"Of course it's safe." Su Ling'er was immediately surprised. She looked at Xu Que suspiciously and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in my tribe knows that except for the day of the Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice, those who enter the Thunder Pool at other times cannot use Dharma spells, otherwise they will be swallowed by the Thunder Pool! The Thunder Pool is the sacred ground of our alien tribes. How could you not know that?"

"Aha, I told you, I've been traveling abroad since I was a child! Alright, stop asking, let's go quickly." Xu Que laughed, then urged Su Ling'er to set off immediately.

Although Su Ling'er was a bit suspicious, she couldn't see through Xu Que's disguise puppet after all, and the situation was somewhat urgent, so she didn't think too much about it and took Xu Que deep into the woods.

Because the Thunder Pool was very far from the Heaven Demon Tribe, the two of them didn't take that cave when leaving from here; Su Ling'er used the teleportation array in the tribe directly.

It's just that the teleportation array couldn't send them directly to the Thunder Pool; it could only save half the journey!

This was Xu Que's first time riding such a teleportation array, and he was a bit curious.

The entire teleportation array was mostly built with purple spirit stones, looking a bit like an altar, and was covered with dense runes.

In the system mall, Xu Que had also seen teleportation arrays, but the price was extremely expensive, and he couldn't afford them at all.

"Stand steady." Su Ling'er reminded him, then walked to the center of the teleportation array, took out a high-grade spirit stone from her storage ring, and slapped it into the ground!

Boom!

Instantly, the entire teleportation array began to operate. All the runes bloomed with dazzling brilliance, detached from the stone walls, surrounded the entire teleportation array, and spun rapidly!

The next moment, Xu Que felt a powerful pulling force dragging him. His vision suddenly became blurry, as if he were on a roller coaster, and in the blink of an eye, he had passed through countless places.

Soon, this pulling force disappeared.

When Xu Que regained his vision, he found himself in a desolate mountain.

And under his feet was also a slightly dilapidated teleportation array.

"From here on, we have to rely on ourselves to travel!" Su Ling'er walked to Xu Que's side and said calmly.

Xu Que nodded, his gaze still pondering on the teleportation array.

Back at the Spirit Domain Tower, he had once used the "One-Star Talisman Master" skill book, so he had some knowledge of runes.

Now that he had experienced the power of the teleportation array firsthand, Xu Que was a bit tempted. If he could study these runes thoroughly and improve to a Two-Star Talisman Master in the future, perhaps he could create Divine Movement Escape Talismans that could determine direction!

"What's wrong?" At this moment, Su Ling'er asked softly.

Xu Que came back to his senses, shook his head, and smiled: "Nothing, just feeling that suddenly we are a lone man and a lone woman, and I'm a bit unaccustomed to it."

Su Ling'er's cheeks flushed immediately, and she gave him a reproachful look: "Stop being glib. This trip to the Thunder Pool will take at least a night, and I'm afraid there will be danger."

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you. After all, you still owe me two conditions, and you can lick twice." Xu Que laughed.

"What lick twice?" Su Ling'er asked in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing. Wait until we pass the Heavenly Tribulation, then I'll tell you." Xu Que smiled inscrutably: "By the way, I also want to participate in the Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice the day after tomorrow!"

"You?" Su Ling'er was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "You are only at the Golden Core Stage Perfection, so you will only face the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

"So what? Can't I participate in the Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice with the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"

"You can, but it seems a bit unnecessary. As far as I know, there are a total of eight tribes participating in this Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice, and everyone who comes is at the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, all comparing the Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. If you go up to participate, given the temperament of those people, they will inevitably mock you!"

"Haha, mock me? It doesn't matter, let them laugh." Xu Que narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Such a good natural opportunity to act cool, how could he not go?

Moreover, Xu Que was full of confidence in the difficulty of his Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise, the system wouldn't have issued such a warning earlier, telling him to prepare more!

"I can't tell, you actually have such a peaceful state of mind!" Su Ling'er said, feeling a bit surprised.

Apparently, she misunderstood that Xu Que was the kind of person who insisted on "walking his own path and letting others talk"!

"You're too kind, you're too kind!" Xu Que cupped his hands without hesitation.

Su Ling'er smiled faintly and said: "Since you aren't afraid of being mocked, this Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice is actually a good opportunity for you."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xu Que asked curiously.

"Don't you know? Crossing the tribulation in the Thunder Pool during the Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice will make the power of the Heavenly Thunder stronger than usual. For example, if I trigger the Heavenly Tribulation here right now, I estimate I can only summon the Six-Clouds Heavenly Tribulation, but if I trigger it in the Thunder Pool the day after tomorrow, I will face the Six-Clouds Heavenly Tribulation. So you can also use the enhanced Heavenly Tribulation to temper yourself, and you will definitely have good gains. After all, this Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice... only happens once every hundred years!" Su Ling'er said with a hint of anticipation.

However, after hearing this, Xu Que almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The Hell Mode Heavenly Tribulation, plus the extra difficulty added by the Lightning Tribulation Sacrifice...

Damn it, won't I be blasted into slag directly?
