Chapter 1004: Great Calamity
In the center of the courtyard, Xiao Xu was cultivating in an extremely difficult, even somewhat self-torturing, way.
His upper body was bare, covered in wounds and drenched in sweat.
Wearing only a pair of tattered shorts, he was standing upside down.
His brain was stuck in the mud.
Sweat streamed down his taut muscles.
It landed on the black muddy soil below.
His body trembled violently from the immense strain.
The veins on his arms bulged out like writhing dragons.
He exuded humiliation, anger, and a fierce determination to never admit defeat.
The king of self-abuse.
He truly believed the saying, "No pain, no gain."
Laugh to death.
Jiang Yantian didn't go in to disturb them; he just watched.
I watched him holding his breath, his head buried in the ground.
His whole body turned increasingly red.
Qi circulates throughout the body.
The next second, Xiao Xu suddenly pushed himself up with both hands and leaped into the air.
It landed on the ground in what seemed like a very fast somersault.
He immediately started boxing.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, punches flying.
He was also muttering something under his breath.
"Only by enduring the bitterest hardships can one rise above others!"
"Suffering a loss is a blessing! No pain, no gain!"
Everything he went through led him to a new understanding of the path he was on.
Even if it means suffering.
You'll suffer through hardship and training, and after you get married, you'll suffer even more.
"Ouch!!! Take this punch!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Whirring whirring!"
Xiao Xu attacked very quickly.
"The first technique: Finding joy in suffering..."
"Second technique: Deep contemplation..."
"Third move: Mask of Pain..."
Xiao Xu was having a great time.
It seems like I've found a new purpose in life.
Moreover, it's no exaggeration to say that it's really useful.
Jiang Yantian watched him cultivate, and his aura truly began to become more profound.
It has to be said, the chosen ones are truly different.
Even if you only practice a bunch of oral defense techniques, you can still achieve something.
His original intention was to make Xiao Xu suffer more.
Unexpectedly!
Xiao Xu was still flipping through the pages.
It immediately plunged its head to the ground and spun rapidly.
With his method of self-cultivation, Goujian's perseverance and humiliation were nothing more than a snack to him.
Jiang Yantian slowly walked in and patted the door open.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Xiao Xu was startled when he heard the voice.
He immediately braced himself with both hands, flinging a cloud of mud.
He immediately jumped up.
When he saw Jiang Yantian, his eyes were filled with joy.
"Senior!" Xiao Xu ran forward two steps.
Jiang Yantian smiled slightly and nodded: "Young friend, you are indeed diligent!"
"At your cultivation speed, you could spit on the Dao Ancestor even if he came!"
Xiao Xu's eyes widened.
This metaphor is slightly exaggerated.
He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly: "Thanks to your guidance, senior, I am extremely grateful!"
Jiang Yantian smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad, very good. It's mainly because you have good talent; you grasped it so quickly!"
"Just lucky..." Xiao laughed and scratched his hair.
Jiang Yantian shook his head: "No, it's not luck, this is real skill!"
"Today, I will teach you another set of hand seals for summoning the ancients!"
Xiao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this.
Holy crap, that's awesome!
"Senior, you are my second parents!" Xiao Xu almost knelt down.
Jiang Yantian smiled slightly: "Watch closely, I'll have you inject your Qi in a moment, and you'll do so immediately!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Xun looked over there with heavy eyes.
Jiang Yantian suddenly clenched his five fingers, his knuckles taut as if cast from black iron.
"call!!"
A sound broke through the air.
A dark aura surged and swirled in his palm.
When the fingertips form a hand seal, it seems to possess the power to shatter the void.
Each change in the fingerprint caused the surrounding light to distort and collapse.
When the last inch of the thumb touches the base of the ring finger.
At first, it was just a gentle breeze.
It brushed against Xiao Xu's sweat-dampened back, bringing a touch of coolness.
But it made his tense muscles tremble inexplicably.
An indescribable chill, originating from a life-giving instinct, instantly surged through my spine and spread throughout my body.
Immediately afterwards, the sky suddenly darkened.
The sky, which had been relatively clear just moments before, seemed to be violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand!
Thick clouds swirled, converged, and twisted wildly, centered on Jiang Yantian's head!
They were no longer soft white fluff, but transformed into huge swirling eddies as thick as ink.
The vortex spun faster and faster, emitting a deep, muffled sound like the roar of millions of ferocious beasts.
The terrifying suction force even caused small pebbles and withered grass on the ground to tremble slightly and float up!
"It's here, inject the Qi!" Jiang Yantian shouted.
Xiao Xu dared not be careless and quickly mobilized all the energy in his body, pouring it into the power that Jiang Yantian was drawing upon.
It provides a continuous supply.
“Very good, now, sing the incantation with me…” Jiang Yantian said.
"Sing?"
"Nonsense, this summons ancient power!"
Xiao Xu was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and nodded.
"Who brought this ancient call? Who left behind this thousand-year-old longing..."
Xiao Xu quickly joined in the singing.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yantian stepped back.
He threw that pulling force to Xiao Xu.
The raging cloud vortex froze instantly, and the thunderbolts transformed into tiny electric snakes that burrowed into the gaps between his fingers.
"Very good, keep it up, I won't disturb your cultivation any longer." Jiang Yantian made his escape.
"Thank you, senior!"
Xiao was very happy.
Jiang Yantian said expressionlessly, "I'll give you one more piece of advice!"
"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a great task to someone, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his actions, so as to strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities."
"Kid, you have a long way to go!"
After saying that, Jiang Yantian vanished instantly!
Xiao Xu was deeply moved.
Noble man!
Moreover, he felt that he could control the pulling force in his palm very well.
However, the joy lasted only three seconds.
He couldn't control himself.
The pulling force, however, carried an irresistible majesty.
They forcefully pressed his body down.
Xiao Xu's expression changed drastically: "Oh my god, I'm doomed, senior, senior!"
He couldn't control himself.
"Zizzizi!"
"boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The vortex above looked like a giant meteorite falling.
With earth-shattering force, it crashed down towards the Xiao family's ancestral land below.
"Ah!!! My ancestors!"
Xiao Xu's eyes were filled with terror, but there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly.
"boom!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
A deafening roar tore the heavens and the earth apart.
The violent shockwave centered on the point where the force landed.
It swept wildly in all directions.
The ancestral land that the Xiao family had inherited for a long time was completely destroyed.
They are as fragile as paper in the face of this force.
Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sky and the sun.
After the terrifying impact subsided slightly.
The ancestral home of the Xiao family has been reduced to a desolate ruin.
Amidst the broken walls and ruins, the lingering energy still hisses and hums.
It scorched the ground, leaving deep, blackened pits.
The air above the ruins was thick with an odor so dense it was almost overwhelming.
That was a scent unique to Xiao Xu.
"Who is it? Who is it!" A loud roar came from afar.
"This aura belongs to that beast Xiao Xu!"
"You beast, how can you face your ancestors?"
"You've wrecked our ancestors' graves!"
"kill him!"
A jumble of noises suddenly erupted.
Xiao Xu was completely dumbfounded.
Oh no, holy crap!
