Chapter 2311 Breaking Through
Chapter 2311 Breaking Through
Alex brought out Midnight as the clouds roiled above him and struck back as the first of the 9 Tribulation lightning came down on him. The lightning dissipated, the energy from it flowing into him, rather than Whisker.
\'What the hell is happening?\' Alex thought, unable to make sense of the situation. He could guess to a point that whatever was happening was because of his and Whisker\'s bond due to the Undying, but even then that didn\'t explain why he was the one getting the lightning when Whisker got absolutely none of it. Alex became concerned about the energy that flowed into him and knew that Whisker needed this. So, he quickly sat down and began cultivating his Undying Physique.
Whisker in the distance began feeling his body begin to cultivate, and with that came an enormous amount of energy as well.
Alex was glad to see that the energy that flowed into him was now flowing to Whisker through their bond. That was good.
The next lightning bolt came down and Alex noticed how weak it was. Was the heaven so confused that it took him to be Whisker?
Alex didn\'t even have to fight back this time. Just his body cultivation alone was enough to handle these lightning bolts.
The next few lightning bolts came down the same, and Alex only focused on cultivating his Undying Physique, helping Whisker. However, it didn\'t seem like Heaven was a very big fan of how easily he was passing the tribulation. It began getting stronger.
Around the 6th lightning bolt, Alex noticed that it was now comparable to Immortal Ascendant 4th realm. "It\'s definitely getting stronger," he thought. Still, it was too weak for him to be concerned. By the time the 9th lightning bolt came down, it had the strength of Immortal Ascendant 9th realm. It grew a lot stronger in just a few bolts due to his nonchalance in the face of it.
He continued cultivating, so Whisker continued cultivating as well. And then, the Dao lightning began forming in the sky. Alex felt the sky crackle with a stronger lightning bolt, the aura of the Dao of Plant Growth filling it. He looked above, quickly creating a large swirling shield of Qi on top of him as the lightning bolt came down.
He felt the strength of it, now in the Immortal Origin realm. That was still nothing for him and the energy that came from it flowed into him again. Most of it flowed to Whisker in the distance, but surprisingly quite a bit of it remained with him.
And even that little bit was no small amount. Even though Alex was cultivating the Undying Physique, he could feel it improving his cultivation base. He wouldn\'t be breaking through or anything, but it steadily increased his body so that the requirement for the next breakthrough was even less now.
It was akin to cultivating for a month in a row. "If only I could do this more often," he told himself. A thought came to him around the same time, but he was distracted by the final lightning bolt that prepared to come down at him.
The sky came bright with a bright white streak as the lightning bolt came down from the sky like a heavenly spear, striking Alex. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Alex took Midnight and struck back at the last moment, destroying the lightning bolt. The True Fire Dao aura that accompanied it immediately filled the area around them.
Alex sat down once again, wasting no moment as he cultivated the energy that had come down with the last lightning bolt.
As that energy flowed through their bond toward Whisker, Whisker began feeling the change in his own body. The soul that had completely grown to the size of his body was now merging with it, becoming one. His Spiritual sea was growing and his Spiritual sense became stronger.
And most importantly, he felt something open up around his chest, something vast and empty. His Soul Space.
Whisker felt extremely happy.
Alex cultivated for a long time, making use of all the energy. Only when it all disappeared half an hour later did he stop? Pearl walked back toward Alex and looked toward Whisker. "What even happened?" he asked.
"I\'m not entirely sure," Alex said.
"Does this mean if you still had White Tiger\'s blood, I would\'ve been forced to take on your tribulation lightning too?" Pearl asked.
"That\'s… a dreadful thought, isn\'t it?" Alex said. He couldn\'t imagine Pearl having to take on the tribulation lightning long before he was an Immortal.
"But that should not be the case, should it?" Pearl asked.
"No," Alex said. "Rosemist, do you know anything about it?"
Rosemist walked up to them and shook her head. "I do not think such a thing has existed before. If it had, I do not know about it. I can see that it has to do with bloodlines being connected, but that is the extent of it. I do believe this happened because you are the one that cultivates for Whisker, while Whisker just enjoys the benefits of cultivation."
"Maybe to Heaven\'s eyes, you are the main perpetrator here, which is why they put you through this trial. To them, Whisker is just someone on the sideline that is doing absolutely nothing."
Alex frowned a little. He didn\'t like that Heaven had no consideration for Whisker as a cultivator. He felt irked about it.
"Brothers! I\'m an Immortal now!" Whisker shouted as he made his way toward Alex and the rest.
They all gathered around Whisker, showering him with congratulations. Whisker was very much happy right now.
"Come on, show us what you look like as a human now," Pearl said. "I bet you\'ll be ugly."
"No way," Whisker said. "Let me show you how handsome I\'ll be."
Whisker closed his eyes and forced his body to change. At least, he tried to.
"How do I do it again?"
