Sang Yiping, ever so perceptive, produced a map of the auxiliary peaks and handed it to Xing Huang.

"Thank you, Sect Leader. I'll choose the one closest to Tianwu Peak. This peak is near Tianji Peak, so help will arrive quickly if something happens." Xing Huang took the map and immediately selected Tianwu Peak.

Seeing that Xing Huang had chosen his auxiliary peak, Mo Wuji said to Sang Yiping, "Yiping, take Protector Xing to Tianwu Peak. I'll go activate the Spirit Gathering Array and try to help Protector Xing break through to the True God Realm within a month."

Mo Wuji believed that as long as he provided enough spiritual energy, Xing Huang would not miss this opportunity. Someone like Xing Huang, who had been forced into the Wentian School due to being hunted down, must have amassed a considerable fortune from years of crafting artifacts for others.

Such a significant fortune would undoubtedly be used to prepare for breaking through to the True God Realm. He must have made all the necessary preparations. If Xing Huang still couldn't break through to the True God Realm even with a True God Flower, it would only mean that his chances of advancing to the True God Realm in the future were extremely slim.

Using a True God Flower to break through to the True God Realm was not a sure thing, not even a 30% chance. Xing Huang had been preparing for so many years, which should increase his chances by another 20%. Adding that to the True God Flower’s inherent chances, he had a 50% probability of breaking through to the True God Realm. If the spiritual energy locked within Tianji Sect was powerful enough, it might increase his chances by another 10%.

"Yes," Sang Yiping replied quickly.

After Sang Yiping took Xing Huang to Tianwu Peak, Mo Wuji entered the area beneath the Tianji Sect's Sect Leader Hall. After discovering the Tianji Stone Sword, Mo Wuji had Nie Zhengnong construct a passage beneath the Sect Leader Hall that led directly to the main array base of the Thirteen Spirit Locking Array.

After he pulled out the Tianji Stone Sword from the main array base, he returned it to its original position to continue locking the spiritual energy. As for the array bases of the remaining thirteen auxiliary peaks, he had already pulled them all out and they were lying in his ring.

Now, all he had to do was pull out the Tianji Stone Sword from the main array base, and he could directly open the Thirteen Spirit Locking Array.

Mo Wuji had studied this Tianji Stone Sword a long time ago, and he had also studied the Thirteen Spirit Locking Array that locked the spiritual energy of Tianji Sect more than once. Now that he was going to open the Spirit Locking Array, Mo Wuji naturally would not hesitate for even a moment, and directly pulled out the Tianji Stone Sword.

"Rumble!" A series of muffled sounds came from beneath his feet, and Mo Wuji felt the place where he was standing begin to collapse.

Mo Wuji was shocked. Could it be that his array Dao level was not high enough and he had made a mistake?

If Tianji Peak collapsed, then everything would be over. If the Tianji Peak he had worked so hard to build collapsed, it would simply be a joke.

Soon Mo Wuji knew that he had not made a mistake. Streams of extremely dense spiritual energy poured in. The indescribable comfort made Mo Wuji almost think he was holding a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Stone in his hand.

"Bang!" Mo Wuji's feet landed firmly. When he came to his senses, the surrounding collapse had completely disappeared. He was at the edge of a huge mist pool.

Mo Wuji gasped when his gaze fell on the mist pool.

Above the mist pool, nine heaven spirit veins were trapped by an array, half of them suspended in the air above the mist pool. Endless spiritual rhymes surrounded the area. This was not a mist pool at all; it was simply a spirit pool condensed from spiritual energy.

Moreover, Mo Wuji was certain that any one of these nine spirit veins was far stronger than the half vein he had obtained from the Tianhai Sect.

In other words, if the half spirit vein he had obtained was low-grade, then these nine spirit veins were at least high-grade, and possibly even supreme-grade spirit veins in a very small possibility.

Immediately, Mo Wuji knew that this place must not be revealed. If it was revealed, even the Wentian School would probably come to snatch it.

The secret of Tianji Sect was actually in this place. He didn't know if the previous sect leader had not discovered it or had discovered it but didn't dare to open it.

Soon Mo Wuji knew the usefulness of these nine spirit veins to him. He could cultivate here to his heart's content. Even if the resources he needed to advance were terrifying, cultivating in this place would not be slow at all.

However, these nine spirit veins could not be fully opened. After Xing Huang advanced to the True God Realm, he would have to seal these nine spirit veins again. At most, he would leave behind the spiritual energy of Tianji Peak so that the disciples of Tianji Sect could cultivate to their heart's content.

…

On Tianji Peak, almost as soon as Mo Wuji opened the Spirit Locking Array, everyone felt the pleasure of being bathed in spirit fluid. It would be foolish not to cultivate in this spiritual energy.

The most pleasantly surprised of them all was the Three-Eyed Tuo Xing Huang on Tianwu Peak. Xing Huang estimated that Mo Wuji had helped him channel some spiritual energy over. Coupled with his own pile of spirit stones, he should be able to break through to the True God Realm.

But he never dreamed that the spiritual energy Mo Wuji channeled over would be so terrifying. The spiritual energy was like spirit liquid pouring down, almost making him groan.

Xing Huang was a top-notch artifact refining master, not someone who had never seen the world. Not to mention that the spiritual energy of the Artifact Peak of Wentian School was already dense enough, even before he entered Wentian School, he had cultivated in places rich in spiritual energy.

But over the years, he had never seen such terrifying spiritual energy on Tianwu Peak. He had joined Tianji Sect because he saw Mo Wuji's potential and wanted to find a hiding place. Of course, there was also a little bit of coercion from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had helped him kill Peng Jiqing of the Dayan Sect without hesitation, naturally he would not be afraid of anything, and he believed that Mo Wuji still had means that he had not used. But at this moment, he was extremely glad that he had made the right choice.

If he could not advance to the True God Realm in this kind of spiritual energy, then he would truly be a waste. Xing Huang cupped his fist towards Tianji Peak in a gesture of respect and immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique to break through to the True God Realm.

He didn't even take out the Spirit Gathering Array and spirit stones, because the spiritual energy here was stronger than any amount of spirit stones he could take out.

At this moment, even all the plants and trees in Tianji Sect were emitting vigorous vitality and growing even more lush.

…

While everyone was cultivating in seclusion, Mo Wuji directly jumped into the Spirit Mist Pool and began to cultivate. He had just entered the Yuan Dan Realm, but in this dense spiritual energy, he should be able to advance further.

The Hundred Sect Alliance was about to hold the Five Elements Desolate Domain Conference, and he had to fight for benefits for Tianji Sect. Obviously, his strength was not enough.

Beneath the Mist Pool, a pool of spirit liquid had already gathered. Mo Wuji had directly jumped into the spirit liquid. Even before he began to circulate the Immortal Mortal Art, Mo Wuji already felt the joy of cultivation.

When the Immortal Mortal Art began to circulate in cycles, the purple energy in his body quickly became clearer and heavier. One hundred and two meridians were circulating simultaneously, and the terrifying spiritual energy almost swept Mo Wuji out of the Spirit Mist Pool.

In cultivation, the most worthless thing is time. Half a month passed in a flash, and Mo Wuji broke through the first layer of the Yuan Dan Realm and reached the second layer. The purple energy in his Dantian was flowing with spiritual rhyme and contained endless power.

Another five days passed, and Mo Wuji directly reached the mid-stage of the second layer of the Yuan Dan Realm.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to continue to break through to the late-stage of the second layer of the Yuan Dan Realm, a long roar awakened Mo Wuji from his seclusion.

Immediately, Mo Wuji heard a series of thunderous sounds.

Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. Although he had never seen anyone else advance to the True God Realm, he knew that this was Xing Huang preparing to undergo the True God Lightning Tribulation. Moreover, he had witnessed the lightning tribulation of demon beasts in the Five Elements Desolate Domain and knew how terrifying the lightning tribulation was.

Mo Wuji quickly left the Spirit Mist Pool. Even though this was Tianji Peak, he had to take care of Xing Huang during his tribulation. At the same time, he had to close the Sect Protecting Array to prevent the lightning tribulation from damaging the Sect Protecting Array.

…

On Tianwu Peak, Xing Huang stood alone on a flat area on the top of the peak, waiting for the arrival of the lightning tribulation.

"Crack!" With a slight crackling sound, Xing Huang felt the surrounding Sect Protecting Array disappear. He nodded in satisfaction. The Sect Leader knew he was undergoing the tribulation and had deliberately removed the Sect Protecting Array.

"Boom boom boom, crack!" A bolt of lightning finally struck down.

Xing Huang did not immediately unleash his magical treasure, but punched towards the lightning arc. Ascending to the True God Realm from the Void God Realm involved enduring the five-nine lightning tribulation. This first lightning arc was not even an appetizer. If he unleashed his magical treasure from the start, how would he resist the later lightning tribulations?

"Boom!" The lightning arc struck Xing Huang's fist bone, directly breaking it. Xing Huang retreated several steps and quickly swallowed a few pills. Almost at the same time, two more lightning arcs fell.

At this moment, Mo Wuji had arrived at Tianwu Peak, and many disciples of Tianji Sect had also gathered on the periphery to watch Xing Huang undergo the tribulation.

Those with weak minds would definitely be unable to continue cultivating after seeing such a powerful lightning tribulation. Those with strong minds would naturally gain their own insights after seeing this kind of lightning tribulation.

Mo Wuji saw wave after wave of lightning arcs falling, and Xing Huang had already unleashed his Fire Tong magic treasure to resist. He was even more excited.

He was not excited that once Xing Huang successfully underwent the tribulation, he would definitely be able to advance to the True God Realm. He was excited about when he could undergo the tribulation himself. This kind of lightning tribulation was the most dangerous for those undergoing it, but he couldn't wish for it more.

Mo Wuji, whose spirit had long been tempered by lightning, wished that he was the one undergoing the tribulation.

"Boom boom boom!" This time, there were three consecutive lightning arcs, a total of nine lightning arcs falling.

Xing Huang's Fire Tongs clashed with the lightning arcs, creating a sky full of flames and lightning. Xing Huang was also blasted into a deep pit by the powerful lightning arcs. Before Xing Huang could climb out of the deep pit, another wave of nine lightning arcs came.

Continuous lightning roared and fell into the deep pit where Xing Huang was, which made Mo Wuji worried that Xing Huang had been blasted to death.

Before this wave of nine lightning arcs ended, three more lightning arcs came. Moreover, Mo Wuji could clearly see from the side that these three lightning arcs were thicker than the previous nine lightning arcs.

One or two fire dragons sheared out by the Fire Tongs shot out from the deep pit, which made Mo Wuji feel slightly relieved. It seemed that Xing Huang could still withstand the lightning tribulation.

Mo Wuji was not relieved for long, and once again six more thick lightning arcs fell into the deep pit.

"Boom!" Lightning surged from the deep pit, but Mo Wuji no longer saw Xing Huang's Fire Tong's fire dragon coming out. After these six lightning arcs, the sky above Tianwu Peak cleared up, all the roaring disappeared, and a rainbow hung in the sky above Tianwu Peak.

Had the lightning tribulation passed, or had Xing Huang been blasted to death by the lightning tribulation? Mo Wuji rushed towards the lightning pit in a hurry.
