Chapter 248 Thunder Tribulation
"Lan Zhan, are you scared?"
Wei Ying tilted his head and watched as Lan Zhan used a cleaning spell to instantly clean the Demon-Subduing Cave, which was covered with a thin layer of dust. Then, Lan Zhan methodically took out blankets, tables, chairs, screens, incense burners, and other items from his storage space and arranged them in an orderly manner in the cave. After a series of smooth and elegant movements, Lan Zhan grinned silently for a while before asking a question.
Lan Zhan continued working, and upon hearing this, he turned to look at Wei Ying, whose smile was bright and radiant, and said earnestly, "Wei Ying, the path to immortality is fraught with peril! No matter how long and winding the road ahead may be, I will stand hand in hand with you, and fight against all obstacles with my sword!"
Wei Ying's already bright heart blossomed into a boundless sea of dazzling, radiant sunflowers. His starry peach blossom eyes curved into a pair of endearing crescent moons, and he said with feigned modesty, "Lan Zhan, you speak sweet words quite well! Hey, who taught you that?"
Lan Zhan: "No, every word comes from my heart!"
Wei Ying's face was flushed, redder than a sweet persimmon in autumn, and he couldn't help but cup his face and giggle foolishly.
When Lan Zhan finished tidying up the entire Demon-Subduing Cave and turned around to look for Wei Ying, he was still standing there dumbfounded, his face flushed.
"Wei Ying..."
"Huh? Oh, Lan Zhan, what are you doing in front of me? Uh, you finished so quickly?" Wei Ying stammered for a while before finally finding his voice.
"Wei Ying, should we rest for a while before facing the tribulation tomorrow?" Lan Zhan naturally took Wei Ying's hand, their fingers intertwined, and softly asked Wei Ying what he thought.
Wei Ying rolled his eyes, then stroked his chin with his other hand, and refused, "Forget it, Lan Zhan, let's not wait any longer! Let's just get through this tribulation in one go! Anyway, it's the same whether we get through it sooner or later. The sooner we get through it, the sooner we can go down the mountain and go home, so that my sister and Qi Ye won't have to worry about us!"
"Oh, by the way, did you inform Father, Uncle, Mother, and Elder Brother about our trip to the Burial Mound to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation?" Wei Ying asked, fiddling with Lan Zhan's slender fingers.
Lan Zhan nodded: "I informed them in advance, but my father and the others need to arrange many handover matters, so their journey may be delayed a bit. According to the reply, they should be on their way now!"
Wei Ying: "Hmm! Lan Zhan, let's go out and see what this legendary tribulation is really like! We'll also try out the technological tribulation-crossing method that Yu Mian and the others always clamor about!"
Lan Zhan: "Okay!"
Wei Ying said in a drawn-out voice, "Lan Zhan~~, Lan Er-gege~~, does that mean you'll agree with everything I say?!"
Lan Zhan smiled faintly: "You can give it a try!"
"Hmph, I'm definitely going to try. This is related to my future status in the family, you know..."
They whispered to each other all the way, and the short distance of just a few feet created an ambiguous atmosphere of eternal love and tranquility between them.
When they reached a spot two zhang from the cave entrance, a vast expanse of wasteland suddenly opened up before them. Wei Ying, with his back to Lan Zhan, pointed to the east and west with his index finger and asked, "Brother Lan, which side do you choose, this one or the other?"
Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's outstretched fingers: "This!"
Wei Ying was taken aback: "Oh! Lan Zhan, you little stick-in-the-mud, you can joke now!"
Lan Zhan smiled faintly: "Wei Ying, your mastery of formations has improved, and everything is under your arrangement."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying also stopped laughing and joking, and calmly looked around at the terrain on the east and west sides, constantly calculating the most suitable placement of various types of array formations and magical artifacts in his mind.
After a long while, and after some careful calculation, Wei Ying leaped up and stood in mid-air. With a clear "clang," the immortal sword, which was in tune with his mind, sensed his current situation and, without any mental effort, materialized directly from his body. It hovered in the void perfectly and caught Wei Ying's feet as he was in mid-air.
Standing in mid-air, Wei Ying did not spare any attention to praise the casual spirituality. Instead, he focused his expression and brows, continuously forming hand seals and casting spells in mid-air, placing array incantations at the pre-determined locations. At the same time, amidst countless shimmering streams of incantation light, one or more strange and precious objects, each with its own hidden brilliance, would occasionally fly out of Wei Ying's personal storage space according to his thoughts, and then automatically and orderly fall to their corresponding positions. Together with dozens of flickering streams of light, they would combine to form arrays of varying effects and scales.
As Wei Ying continued his actions, the range of the arrays, large and small, grew larger and larger until they filled the entire space of the Demon Subduing Cave, which spanned dozens of miles. Only after Wei Ying unleashed a series of complex and profound incantations that left multiple afterimages did they automatically and flawlessly combine into a super composite array that covered dozens of miles, was intricate and complex, and possessed unparalleled defensive, reflective, and destructive effects.
With most of his spiritual energy drained and his mental energy greatly depleted, Wei Ying's face turned pale as he stood on the Suibian Sword.
Lan Zhan, who was also riding the Bichen sword and landing half a step behind Wei Ying, keeping a close eye on him, immediately moved his mind as soon as he saw Wei Ying finish setting up the formation. He then drove the Bichen sword forward and pulled the pale-faced man into his arms!
With one hand gently embracing Wei Ying's slender waist, and the other hand pressing on a major acupoint on his back, she skillfully channeled a suitable amount of spiritual energy into him to replenish his depleted spiritual energy. At the same time, she guided the spiritual energy within his body to circulate rapidly, stimulating its vitality and allowing it to repair the excessively depleted primordial spirit on its own!
Bichen is also a highly spiritual immortal sword. Without Lan Zhan's mental control, it autonomously carried the two of them down slowly from the sky to the ground at an appropriate speed. Then, with a light flash of blue light, it and Suiyi leaped to the vicinity of the two of them, dutifully protecting them as they were concentrating and adjusting their breathing.
