Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 227 You're too slow, so I came to find you.

Jing Shu, who was thousands of miles away, had also successfully passed the tribulation of the Out-of-Body stage, but the tribulation clouds did not dissipate as a result; instead, they gathered more and more.

Jing Shu's cultivation level also improved accordingly. The fusion of his nascent soul with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's demon core meant that Jing Shu would not be limited to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Early stage of astral projection... Middle stage of astral projection... Late stage of astral projection... Perfect stage of astral projection!

Jing Shu looked at the rolling thunder without the slightest fear and went straight to meet it.

While using his right hand to parry with his sword, he held the rising brush in his left hand, drawing the residual force of the falling lightning into the pre-drawn array.

One...two...thirty-three...forty-six...fifty-eight...

Jing Shu silently chanted in his heart, his body covered in wounds from enduring too much heavenly lightning, and his white clothes were gradually stained with blood.

"Sixty-nine...seventy...seventy-one...cough—!"

Jing Shu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the tribulation clouds paused briefly, as if they were about to unleash a final blow to kill Jing Shu.

Jing Shu put away the Chusheng Brush, smeared the blood from the corner of his mouth onto the completed magic circle, and activated the magic circle.

"Four Divine Beasts, rise!"

"Roar--"

With a roar, a huge white tiger appeared to Jing Shu's right.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared one by one, their enormous bodies making Jing Shu's figure appear extremely small.

This is a formation that Hanluo gave to Jingshu a long time ago, but it is different from the partial phantoms that Hanluo summoned with his own spiritual power.

Jing Shu used heavenly lightning containing the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, as well as his heart's blood as a Spirit Gathering Body!

What is summoned is naturally the complete form of the divine beast!

Jing Shu stood on Xuanwu, took out the ancient jade from his dantian, and fused it into his natal sword.

The natal sword shone brightly in an instant, radiating waves of spiritual power—that was all the spiritual power Jing Shu had stored within his body!

The tribulation clouds seemed to sense the threat, and the condensed heavenly lightning instantly erupted, the thick bolts carrying boundless destructive power, striking straight at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu gripped his sword tightly, and spiritual energy of light and darkness intertwined wildly on its blade. The four divine beasts had already charged forward, weakening the heavenly lightning while slowing its speed.

Jing Shu slowly raised his sword and slashed fiercely at the heavenly lightning, unleashing boundless spiritual power and resolute sword intent together.

The final move of the Sun-Shattering Sword Technique: Break!

The immense spiritual power collided with the powerful heavenly lightning, unleashing a blinding light. With a deafening roar, the space seemed to be torn apart, and the world lost its color.

Anyone who looks at it would think that no one could survive in it.

But, according to Jing Shu, he succeeded.

The natal sword in his hand transformed into a beam of light and returned to Jing Shu's body. The tribulation clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared up again.

After successfully overcoming the tribulation, the Heavenly Dao nourished Jing Shu, healing his wounds, large and small.

Jing Shu savored this moment of warmth and looked at his palms.

He's in his fusion phase...

His wounds had healed, but Jing Shu could no longer hold on and fell straight down from the sky.

Jing Shu no longer wanted to move and slowly closed his eyes.

Anyway, with his current cultivation level, even if he fell from a great height and landed on a rock, he wouldn't die...

But the expected impact didn't come; instead, he was embraced in a warm embrace, and a familiar scent lingered around his nose.

Yes, Master...

"You're too slow, so I came to find you."

Han Luo gently landed with Jing Shu in her arms, lightly touching Jing Shu's messy hair with her forehead.

Han Luo had actually been waiting nearby for a while, and he had witnessed the entire process of Jing Shu fighting against the tribulation lightning of the Integration Stage.

Although he trusted Jing Shu, he was still worried. Only after seeing Jing Shu successfully advance did he truly feel at ease. Before he could get there, he saw Jing Shu fall to the ground as if going to his death.

At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Han Luo only slowly recovered after catching Jing Shu and feeling his normal breathing.

It turns out, Jing Shu was just tired...

Jing Shu didn't open his eyes, but simply reached out and hugged Han Luo, murmuring, "Master, let me rest for a while, just a little while..."

Han Luo held Jing Shu and sat down against a tree, letting Jing Shu rest his head on his lap. He gently stroked Jing Shu's hair, completely ignoring Jing Shu's blood-stained clothes.

"Jingshu, you should get some rest..."

--------------

Cloud Burial Sect, Cold Peak.

"Brother~ teach me! Teach me!" Jingyou pleaded, clinging to Jingshu's leg.

Jing Shu frowned, trying hard to pull his thighs out of Jing You's grasp.

"I've told you so many times, I can't teach you! This method only works for my special circumstances, it won't work for you!"

"No way! I was trained by you, brother. If you can do it, I definitely can too!"

"Let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

..........

Shi Chuan moved a stool and sat down to watch, his expression very calm, and he even ate some sunflower seeds.

Since returning to the Cloud Burial Sect, this has happened every day, and he has gotten used to it.

Actually, it's not entirely Jingyou's fault that he's like this. A few days ago, Jingshu underwent a tribulation at the Nascent Soul stage, but when he returned, he was already at the Integration stage.

Not to mention Jingyou, even he was shocked for a long time.

After returning, Jingyou began to pester Jingshu, begging him to tell him the method that could improve his cultivation so quickly and steadily, but Jingshu kept refusing.

It's been going on for several days now.

"Master! Eldest Brother! Senior Brother! Xiao You! I'm back!"

Before the person was seen, the voice of Gu Meng arrived first.

Jingyou finally let go of Jingshu's leg, dusted himself off, and went out to greet Gu Meng.

"Junior Sister! Welcome back!"

Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief and followed him out.

It wasn't just Gu Meng who came, but also Gu Yue.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Meng gave the three of them a big hug.

Jing Shu patted Gu Meng's back lightly, hugged her briefly, and then separated, saying with a smile, "Meng'er is a grown-up now, you can't hug everyone you see."

Gu Meng hummed twice, "It's been so long since we last met, a hug won't hurt me. What, doesn't Senior Brother miss me?"

"Of course I want to." Jing Shu patted Gu Meng's head and greeted Gu Yue behind Gu Meng.

"Aunt Gu".

Gu Yue nodded, then looked at the demon egg at Shi Chuan's feet and asked curiously, "What kind of monster's egg is this? Can we eat it?"

Gu Meng looked over as well, "Wow! What an ugly egg!"

Jingyou laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight.

It's both green and black, isn't it ugly?

Mo Dan was initially very curious about the two newcomers, but upon hearing Gu Meng's words, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Then, it silently rolled behind Shi Chuan, no longer wanting to look at this rude person.

Gu Meng was even more surprised, "It can actually move! It's alive!"
