Chapter 1138

The lightning turned into lightning snakes that were still wreaking havoc. These were just the scattered waves, so their power was much weaker.

As the ninth bolt of lightning disappeared, the clouds in the sky also dissipated quickly. The sky cleared up again, and the golden sunlight shone down warmly. It was as if the clouds had parted, bringing hope to everyone.

Below them, the forest within a dozen miles had been leveled. On the leveled ground, there were thousands of holes. At the center of it all, there was a huge hole, and the Black Tortoise was lying there.

The Black Tortoise's body was already charred black, like a burnt corpse. Beside it, there were nine pitch-black barbs inserted into the ground. Originally, there were thousands of barbs on its back, but after the baptism of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, only these nine barbs were intact.

Everyone spread out their spiritual thoughts. After checking the Black Tortoise's condition, their expressions became complicated.

There was shock, astonishment, worry, jealousy, unwillingness, and of course, ecstasy and excitement.

After the Lightning Tribulations, the Black Tortoise's aura became very weak. It could even be said that it was dying. But after all, it was still breathing. Everyone here had experienced the Lightning Tribulations before, so they naturally knew that after the Lightning Tribulations, as long as there was still a trace of life, it would not die.

Therefore, the Black Tortoise was still alive.

A true blood ancient beast that survived the Lightning Tribulations and became an Earth Origin Realm being.

"It's alive, it's actually alive. Such a terrifying Lightning Tribulations, but it didn't kill it."

"Is it still human? How could it survive such a Lightning Tribulations?"

"It's a true blood ancient beast, not a human. It's much scarier than a human."

The Earth Origin Realm people from the big factions were naturally filled with jealousy and unwillingness. After surviving the Lightning Tribulations, the Black Tortoise had already stepped into the Earth Origin Realm. Not only that, but it had just entered the Earth Origin Realm, and it would have super strong combat power.

Although it had just broken through, it was definitely one of the best among the Earth Origin Realm people. It could even be said that it was a king.

The Black Tortoise's breakthrough was a threat to them. Moreover, the Black Tortoise was from the Wuji Sect. As for jealousy, it was not only because of the Black Tortoise's identity as a true blood ancient beast, but also because of its good luck.

The Lightning Tribulations had destroyed so many barbs, but why did it not destroy all of them? Only a few were left.

The nine barbs were the source of their jealousy. It made them feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, and very unnatural.

Of course, no one would purely believe that the nine barbs were intentionally left behind by the Lightning Tribulation. The reason for that was because the nine barbs had also passed through the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation and transformed into Earth Origin. It could be said that the nine barbs of the Lightning Tribulation could already be called Earth Weapons. Although they were the hardest and soulless Earth Weapons, they were still Earth Weapons, far surpassing Spirit Weapons.

But were the nine barbs really soulless?

To an outsider, the situation was as such. These were nine soulless Earth Weapons. They had the toughness of an Earth Weapon, but they did not possess the power of an Earth Weapon.

But to the Black Tortoise, this was an extremely powerful Earth Weapon. It had a soul, and it had the most perfect, most powerful, and most inseparable soul in the world.

This was because he himself was the soul of the Earth Soldier.

Soul weapon fusion.

"Unbelievable."

"He actually passed through such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation. The Wuji Sect finally has an Earth Origin Realm cultivator. And it's an Earth Origin Realm cultivator at the level of a True Blood Ancient Beast."

The Earth Origin Realm cultivators of the Ancient Race were all amazed. Gu Xiu glanced at the Earth Origin Realm cultivators of the big sects in the distance and smiled faintly. He thought that these people were probably jealous right now.

"That's great, that's great."

"He did it! He really did it!"

"Elder Gui is so awesome!"

Because they were too excited, Zi Chen and the others were jumping and laughing, shouting loudly. From today onwards, the Wuji Sect would have its own Earth Origin Realm cultivator, and a very powerful one at that.

A ray of light suddenly appeared on the charred tortoise's body. Following that, rays of light passed through the charred tortoise's body. In the blink of an eye, thousands of rays of light shot out from the charred tortoise's body, illuminating the already bright sky. It was like another golden sun.

The charred corpse exploded, and a black tortoise that had undergone the baptism of the thunder tribulation reappeared. This black tortoise was only one-tenth of its original size, but the aura it exuded was ten times stronger than before. Endless power of rules surrounded its body, constantly circulating around it.

The Black Tortoise broke through. Its body shone brightly, and a powerful Qi belonging to the Earth Origin Realm was released. At this moment, the Black Tortoise was no longer a human, or a pure beast. It had become a special existence.

The light on the Black Tortoise's body slowly disappeared. When it disappeared, there was no Black Tortoise in the sky. There was only a human figure.

It was a tall human wearing a dark black armor and holding two sharp thorns in his hands. It was a middle-aged man who no one had seen before. He was in the prime of his life, but he had a pair of deep eyes. The Qi released from his body made people tremble.

Zi Chen and the others couldn't help but shout. They could sense the existence of two Earth Origin Realm cultivators from this human. One was the black armor on his body, and the other was the sharp thorns in his hands.

"Two Earth Origin Realm cultivators. Elder Gui broke through and has two Earth Origin Realm cultivators."

The middle-aged man was Elder Gui, the Black Tortoise.

He stood in the air, looking down at his hands holding the thorns. Looking at the armor on his body, there was a trace of excitement in his deep eyes. Then he laughed at himself, "This is the first time I have transformed into a human. I am not used to it. It seems that I am too handsome and too young."

Zi Chen and the others had already rushed over. He was the first to say, "Congratulations, Elder Gui."

"Congratulations, Elder Gui. By the way, Elder Gui, you have become so handsome."

"Yes, Elder Gui is young and handsome now."

Elder Gui put away the sharp thorns in his hands, and the armor on his body was also hidden. A linen robe appeared on his body. His middle-aged appearance suddenly became old. He smiled and said, "I have lived for too long. I am no longer suitable for the life of a young man. This is good."

Zi Chen and the others took Elder Gui to the school. When they saw the Earth Origin Realm cultivators on the mountain top in the distance, Zi Chen suddenly asked, "Elder Gui, what should we do if we meet them now?"

Elder Gui laughed loudly and said, "If I fight with my life on the line, none of them will be able to leave alive."

Neither Zi Chen nor Elder Gui deliberately suppressed their voices. When the people of the big forces in the distance heard this, their expressions immediately changed. They were angry, but their hearts were full of shock.

"This is the benefit of being a strange beast. The Thunder Tribulation is terrifying, so the harvest is naturally great."

"Yes, it is easier said than done for others to get an Earth Weapon. But he has two, one for attack and the other for defense. Moreover, it is the most suitable for him."

"Let's go. Since we have reached an agreement, we will not fight anymore. There is nothing for us to do here."

The cultivators of the big forces began to return. They looked calm, but their minds were in turmoil.

Today, the Black Tortoise had given them too much of a shock, so much so that they felt threatened by the Everlasting Sect in the future. This was because the Everlasting Sect didn't have many things, but it had a lot of strange beasts. And because of the Flying Divine Tiger, Longhu Sovereign, and the Barbarian Dragon leading them, their loyalty was unquestionable.

When they returned to the Wuji Sect, they welcomed the celebration again.

The celebration lasted for three days.

Three days later, Elder Gui chose to enter seclusion to adapt to the power of the laws.

The matters of the Wuji Sect had been settled. The ancient cultivator left with a group of Ancients. Before this, the ancient cultivator had personally come to thank him because of the castle. After all, that thing was priceless. Although the Perfect Body had to be given away, the Ancients had to express their gratitude. However, they were rejected by Zi Chen.

The Ancients had been of great help to Zi Chen. It could be said that they had done him a great favor. If not for the Castle of Time, the two ancient castles would definitely not be given away. However, there were no ifs. Therefore, Zi Chen was very willing to give them away. Even if the Perfect Body did not shamelessly pester him, he would still give it to him.

After the Ancients left, Monk also left with his people. His true identity was the sect master of the Buddhist sect, so he naturally had to return to the sect. He did not want to be a shameless fighter for Zi Chen.

"The next time we meet, it will definitely be at the Earth Essence Realm. I hope you can break through as soon as possible. If you break through later than me, then I'm sorry. I'll have to settle the grievances I've suffered all these years with you from beginning to end until you break through to the Earth Essence Realm."

As though recalling the scene of him breaking through while Zi Chen did not, and the scene of him ruthlessly teaching Zi Chen a lesson, Monk couldn't help but laugh smugly.

"Alright, stop dreaming. Hurry up and scram." Zi Chen kicked Monk's butt and sent him flying.

"I'll be back." Monk quoted a classic sentence from another world that everyone knew.

In the main hall of the Wuji Sect, all the higher-ups were gathered.

Zi Chen sat at the top of the hall and looked at the people below. He said, "Since I was reborn, battles and enemies have always been with me. They brought me pressure, but they pushed me forward continuously. Now, there are finally no enemies in front of me, and the Wuji Sect has a rare thousand years of peace. While we thank Senior Li, we also have to plan the future of the Wuji Sect."

Below, everyone looked at Zi Chen, waiting for Zi Chen's orders. Because they knew that the sect master had already planned everything.

"From now on, all the cultivators of the Wuji Sect will be divided into three groups. These three groups will enter the Time Castle to cultivate for a year. The three groups will be led by the leaders they elected. Lv Peng will temporarily act as the sect master and be in charge of all the affairs of the Wuji Sect in the future. The Devil Ape will cooperate with him, and the Spirit Devouring Rats will continue to search for treasures. Wang Qiong, Heifeng, Wild Wolf, Zhang Tong, all the higher-ups will enter the Time Castle to cultivate until they reach the peak of the Human Essence Realm."

Although the large factions had compensated a lot of resources this time, if a faction wanted to develop, they had to continuously search for, mine, or create resources. Of course, they couldn't just sit around and eat.

Therefore, Zi Chen divided the group into three groups. One group would cultivate, another group would gain experience, and the third group would mine those resources.
