Chapter 657: Three-Legged Tripod Clouds
I have use for them.” Xiaotian ordered the two, “These green-haired zombies died in a disgusting and horrifying way. I'm too lazy to do it myself. It would be a waste not to make use of you two ghost...Ten days later, at the foot of a sheer cliff, snowflakes swirled in the air. Pine trees towered around, covered in snow, and occasionally a black eagle or other mystical bird flew across the sky.
Occasionally, some spirit beasts would swiftly dash across the snow.

Several figures, several figures are distributed around the snowy ground.
Among them was a young monk with white hair cascading down his shoulders, who casually tied it back with a black ribbon. He wore a blue robe and was none other than Lu Xia Tian.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian stood on a huge rock at the edge of the cliff. He stood with his hands by his side, motionless, letting the mountain wind blow fiercely. His body seemed even more solid than the stone, not moving an inch. His slightly opened eyes gazed far into the distance, taking in all the surrounding mountains – their ups and downs, the continuous snow-capped peaks, and the mist swirling between them. He merely savored the majestic grandeur of everything around him.
And not far from the cliff, there was another cultivator. His arms were noticeably longer than ordinary people's, drooping down to near his knees. It was Yuan Gang, who had been separated from Xu Wan for decades since their parting at Yueyin Mountain Villa.
At this time, Yuan Gang would often glance at the young man with silver hair standing on the cliff. When he first met him at Wushang Lake, the young man seemed quite down-on-his-luck, though possessing some unique traits. Yuan Gang didn't take Lu Xia Tian seriously. However, after Lu Xia Tian left Yueyin Mountain Villa, whether it was cracking the protective array of Yueyin Mountain Villa or killing Hu Qin, although it surprised him, at the time, Lu Xia Tian's mana fluctuations were very clear. As a cultivator in the later stage of Jindan, he was considered one of the few powerful individuals. He could naturally feel Lu Xia Tian's true cultivation level from his movements. Although he had killed Hu Qin with fierce means, for a master in the later stage of Jindan, it wouldn't be too highly regarded. It was only through news from Xu Wan that he had to pay attention. The fact that even Dou Fenghu had been defeated by Lu Xia Tian, and Dou Fenghu's most trusted treasure, Ziyan Skull Hammer, was destroyed, this news was simply shocking. According to his information, when Lu Xia Tian fought Dou Fenghu, he hadn't even used his powerful spirit beast, Di Kun. Relying solely on himself, he had defeated Dou Fenghu.
What truly caught Yuan Gang's attention was that Lu Xia Tian had never left Wushang City. After leaving Yue Yin Mountain Villa, he stayed at the Zhenwei Houfu for decades. This kind of detachment from the world and unwavering pursuit of the Dao was rare to see. However, since Yuan Gang had never witnessed Lu Xia Tian make a move himself, he still harbored some doubts in his heart.
Besides Yuan Gang, there were three other grim-faced men in armor. The three of them stayed together most of the time, rarely separating. Lu Xiaoteng, standing on the cliff edge, could tell at a glance that these three must have mastered some kind of combined attack formation.
Besides, there was also a short and stocky old man with a broad forehead and brown beard. His aura was no weaker than Yuan Gang's.
Apart from the three armored middle-aged men who were at least in the Golden Core Mid Stage, the brown-bearded old man was at least in the Golden Core Late Stage. Although Lu Xia Tian didn't directly inquire about Xiang Lian'er's status in the Xiang Nation, he could tell that she was a fallen figure in the imperial power struggle. Even now, she could still directly deploy three Golden Core Late Stage masters and three armored middle-aged men skilled in joint attacks. It seemed that the strength of the Xiang Nation was beyond his imagination.
At this time, Xiang Lian'er stood at the precipice, surrounded by several waves of people. She set up two arrays, four-tiered formations, the Nine Palaces Golden Spear Formation, and the Stone Forest Ice Wind Formation!
Among the formations of rank four, it is considered to be among the very best, excelling in both offense and defense.
As expected of someone from the esteemed Xiang Nation, even just for crossing the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, they prepared two sets of this fourth-rank formation directly. With Xiang Lian'er's status, there would be no shortage of magical artifacts and pills. It seems that as long as luck isn't too bad, there's at least an 80% chance of successfully crossing the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.
"Daoist Lu, do you need to prepare in advance" Xu Wan saw that Lu Xiaoteng was like a wooden man except for sitting cross-legged, appearing indifferent and nonchalant. Thus, she directly sent a voice transmission to Lu Xiaoteng.
"No need, Daoist Xu has questions for me, it's better to pay more attention to Miss Xiang who is about to ascend the tribulation. If a powerful enemy attacks, I won't hold you back." Lu Xia Tian replied calmly.

“Well then, since Lu Daoyou has a grasp of the situation, I can rest assured.” Xu Wan nodded, her expression shifted slightly, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the distant sky where rumbling thunder echoed.
Here it is!
Lu Xia Tian also raised his head to look at the sky, a large number of tribulation clouds were gathering at an astonishing speed above Xiang Lian'er's head.
The sky, which was already filled with swirling snowflakes, seemed to have clouds pressing down directly from the line of sight.

The commotion was quite significant. A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xia Tian's eyes. Although it wasn't as overwhelming as the apocalyptic thunder and lightning during his tribulation, compared to other thunder tribulations he had witnessed, including Emperor Kun's, the current tribulation cloud was far more ferocious.
Yuan Gang, Xu Wan, the wizened old man with brown beard, and the three armored middle-aged men all wore solemn expressions. Besides worrying about Xiang Lian'er's tribulation, they were more concerned that the thunder tribulation's anomaly would alert the hostile forces in Wushang City.
Amongst the crowd, only Lu Xia Tian's face remained relatively calm. Until now, Lu Xia Tian had no intention of staying behind to fight with Xiang Lian Er's enemies to the death. He would fight if he could win, and leave if he couldn't. Therefore, Lu Xia Tian's heart was relatively at ease.
And about this tribulation ground, Xiang Lian'er and others had also inquired about him. The place is bitterly cold, which can provide some cover for the Li Xue Qian Yue Formation.
“Hey” As time passed, the tribulation clouds in the sky grew more and more numerous. They even formed three cloud pillars, standing in a tripod formation. The cloud pillars reached directly into the heavens, and the surrounding snowflakes scattered and flew everywhere. Those tribulation clouds were like a giant cauldron, floating above Xiang Lian’er's head, as if they could fall down at any moment.

This tribulation cloud was like a three-legged cauldron, also coinciding with the legend of the founding emperor of Xiang Nation. Lu Xia Tian had been in Wushang City for a long time, and when he occasionally went to the tavern, he would hear some news, including some rumors about the Xiang Nation royal family. It was said that when members of the Xiang Nation royal family crossed the Golden Core Tribulation, a three-legged cauldron cloud would appear. The clearer the three-legged cauldron, the more concentrated the bloodline inherited from their ancestors, and the greater their future potential.
"I never expected that during Miss's tribulation, the Ding of Abandonment would actually be accompanied by auspicious clouds. This phenomenon has been rare in the past thousand years of the Xiang Kingdom. Miss's bloodline is so pure, ranking among the top five in the entire royal family. It's only a matter of time before she advances to the Yuan Ying stage!" Yuan Gang muttered to himself, his face filled with an infatuated expression.

As soon as Yuan Gang's voice fell, a colorful auspicious cloud descended from the sky, seeming to carry that three-legged giant tripod.
The tripod stood like towering pillars, reaching for the sky.
"It is said that Emperor Ba Huang, the founding emperor of Xiangguo, used his supreme divine power to integrate Dinghuang Ding into his own body, thus achieving the everlasting legacy of Xiangguo. Indeed, a thousand hears are not as good as one sight." Lu Xia Tian suppressed the shock in his heart. In the vast world, there are indeed countless extraordinary people. Today, he has opened his eyes.

Lu Xia Tian looked towards the distant city of Wushang, the vision of the Xiongnu royal family crossing tribulation was unique, there was no other. It could be assumed that the important figures in Xiongnu had already known about it and were troubled. It seemed that things to come would not be few. before Lin Zhengfeng arrived, they received information and returned to Xiaolong Mountain to regroup after scattering. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, a small number of individuals fai...
