35: Chapter 35 Xiao Tian's Special Spiritual Root

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to develop a Special Spiritual Root—the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root. Reward: One hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the education fund, and the Cultivation Technique reward—the Immortal-Rank Cultivation Technique 'Indestructible Thunder Emperor Scripture'!"]

Luo Yunkai was so astonished his mouth hung wide open.

Could the Lightning Tribulation actually be considered a Heaven And Earth Treasure?

Then shouldn't the Void Spirit Root become a treasure? After all, Lightning Tribulation is so common; every Cultivator faces one when breaking through a major Realm.

But why has no one ever heard of anyone nurturing a Void Spirit Root this way?

Are all the people in the Cultivation World stupid?

Impossible!

Luo Yunkai suddenly noticed that his foolish son's body, though scorched black by the tribulation, was still intact and even tougher, filled with power.

An ordinary Mortal wouldn't have such rapid recovery abilities; one strike like that and they would be dead.

Luo Yunkai had an epiphany!

The fundamental reason Xiao Tian could use the Lightning Tribulation to shape his Spiritual Root lay in his physical talent.

He could withstand the power of the Lightning Tribulation, allowing him to naturally borrow it to forge the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root.

Luo Yunkai's gaze towards Xiao Tian changed completely.

This boy truly looked like a natural protagonist.

Then he looked at the System...

This was also his son; his Cultivation could Feedback to him. Otherwise...

Luo Yunkai dared not imagine how jealous he would have become.

Shaking his head, Luo Yunkai took the 'Indestructible Thunder Emperor Scripture' from the system space and slapped it directly onto Xiao Tian's forehead.

Xiao Tian instinctively circulated the Cultivation Technique that appeared in his mind.

The Lightning Tribulation struck again, and it was still absorbed into Xiao Tian's body, strengthening his physique and enhancing his Cultivation.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to break through to the first layer of Qi Condensation. Reward: One hundred thousand education fund, 100% Cultivation Feedback in progress..."

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to break through to the second layer of Qi Condensation. Reward: Two hundred thousand education fund, 100% Cultivation Feedback in progress..."

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to break through to the third layer of Qi Condensation. Reward: Three hundred thousand education fund, 100% Cultivation Feedback in progress..."

Circulating the Cultivation Technique, Xiao Tian directly broke through three Realms under the fifth Heavenly Thunder, leaping from a Mortal to a third-layer Qi Condensation Cultivator.

Luo Yunkai felt no envy at all.

As Xiao Tian and Su Xin's Cultivation grew, massive amounts of spiritual Qi surged into Luo Yunkai's body, expanding his narrow Dantian.

The Foundation Establishment Lightning Tribulation was a one-nine tribulation; there were still four more strikes. Luo Yunkai didn't dare to imagine how much his Dantian could expand if the power of all the Lightning Tribulations was absorbed and fed back by his two good sons.

And the Cultivation levels of the two good sons!

It was simply soaring!

Luo Yunkai was delighted, feeling that once he reached Foundation Establishment, he could rush straight to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and prepare for Core Formation.

However, what was unexpected was about to happen.

Xiao Tian dared to challenge the Lightning Tribulation even without Cultivation. With the Cultivation of the third layer of Qi Condensation, Xiao Tian was going to heaven!

Literally going to heaven!

"Ah!"

Xiao Tian let out a long roar to the sky. As the sixth Heavenly Thunder struck down, he pushed off the ground and stood up, kicking off the earth, charging straight up towards the bucket-thick lightning strike.

He collided with the Lightning Tribulation in mid-air.

Rumble—

Xiao Tian hung suspended in mid-air, turning into a purple glowing mass.

The sixth Heavenly Thunder was completely intercepted by Xiao Tian in the air.

Luo Yunkai slapped his forehead, "This is bad!"

This son truly knew nothing about the common sense of Cultivation!

His body had recovered quite a bit, so he hurriedly flew up, intending to throw his foolish eldest son out of the Lightning Tribulation's range.

However, Xiao Tian didn't give him a chance to get close.

Everyone watched as Xiao Tian, amidst the bucket-thick lightning, actually moved upstream!

Everyone watched as Xiao Tian climbed the Lightning Tribulation, entering the lightning-surging thunderclouds.

Silence!

Dead silence.

Even the Lightning Tribulation seemed stunned.

What followed was boundless rage.

The Lightning Tribulation was completely enraged!

No one had ever dared to forcefully charge into the Tribulation Thunderclouds!

The Tribulation Clouds in the sky suddenly swelled, expanding dozens of miles, with surging lightning within, as if nurturing terrifying power.

Xiao Tian didn't care about the shock his actions caused others.

He was the perfect example of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.

Right now, his heart was filled with fury.

The sight of his father scorched black and clinging to life lingered in his mind.

He had to do something to vent the anger in his heart.

From his Storage Pouch, he took out the heaven-shattering hammer his father had given him.

The handle was one meter long, as thick as an adult's wrist, fitting perfectly in Xiao Tian's grip.

The center of the hammerhead had a diameter of half a meter, with sharp spikes extending outward, reflecting a cold gleam in the lightning.

Xiao Tian gripped the hammer in one hand and violently smashed it towards the tribulation clouds!

This scene was even more astonishing than him charging into the tribulation clouds.

"What is he trying to do?"

"What is he doing?"

"He's crazy, he's crazy!"

... And what made everyone even more unable to comprehend was that Xiao Tian succeeded!

That single hammer strike actually managed to chip off a small corner of the tribulation clouds!

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to advance to a Special Spiritual Root, Spiritual Root advancement in progress..."

Luo Yunkai's heart pounded. It could be done this way?

He now desperately wished Xiao Tian would strike a few more times!

But he forgot that the heaven-shattering hammer he gave Xiao Tian was, after all, only a Mortal Weapon!

With one strike, even though Xiao Tian used his spiritual Qi to maintain it, it exploded instantly.

In the tribulation clouds, Xiao Tian was left with only the handle in his hand; the hammerhead had vanished into the lightning.

Xiao Tian was slightly stunned. He looked down at the solitary iron rod in his hand, his lips tightly pursed.

"This was the first gift my father gave me, the very first gift..."

Black lightning suddenly flashed across his body, distinct from the tribulation lightning, carrying an aura of world-destroying power.

Luo Yunkai was terrified, but even more so, excited.

The Spiritual Root, which was still advancing, already possessed such a terrifying aura. How powerful would it be upon successful advancement?

He desperately wanted to shout loudly, telling his good son to continue, not to stop.

But it was too obvious; it would attract suspicion.

Fortunately, Luo Yunkai didn't need to guide him; Xiao Tian would do it himself.

He was acting purely on instinct!

The heaven-shattering hammer reduced to a stump, he no longer cherished it, instead hammering the tribulation clouds bare-handed.

His fists were wrapped in black lightning. Each punch shattered the tribulation clouds with even greater destruction than the heaven-shattering hammer had caused.

Punch after punch, Xiao Tian's hand bones were pierced through by the lightning in the tribulation clouds, leaving his flesh mangled and bloody.

Not far away, a Fat Middle-Aged Man observed the wounds on Xiao Tian's hands and the reverence he showed for the broken heaven-shattering hammer, narrowing his eyes.

After careful consideration, he solemnly took out an irregular purple Ore from his Storage Pouch. Purple light flowed across the Ore.

"This thunder gold essence will help the young friend reshape his weapon!"

A kind voice was followed by a rapidly approaching purple Ore.

Xiao Tian's hand reached out from the tribulation clouds and precisely grasped the thunder gold essence.

He didn't use it immediately.

Luo Yunkai immediately shouted loudly: "Tian'er, use it!"

Regardless of the other person's motive, it was just one thunder gold essence. He, Luo Yunkai, could afford it!

Xiao Tian hesitated no longer and pressed the remaining hammer handle into the thunder gold essence.

The black lightning inside his body enveloped the thunder gold essence. After one breath, the heaven-shattering hammer, exactly as it appeared in Xiao Tian's memory, reappeared in his hand.

Xiao Tian excitedly swung the heaven-shattering hammer, smashing it rapidly and fiercely towards the tribulation clouds.

The shattered pieces of the tribulation clouds merged into Xiao Tian's body strand by strand.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully nurturing the Bloodline Xiao Tian to advance to a Special Spiritual Root—the Tribulation Thunder Spirit Root..."
