After a long while, Chu Ling finally stood up slowly.

In reality, even though he was injured, it could not be considered to be too heavy. Also, even though he was chilled to the core by the final bolt of purple lightning, he still received quite a bit of benefits.

After all, to cultivators, Lightning Tribulation was a calamity and a fortuitous opportunity. For example, Chu Ling's body that had been struck by lightning, although it was just a single strike, it had caused his body to be much tougher than normal cultivators.

For the current him, forget about the sudden increase in strength after a breakthrough, even if he were to use his sword to stab the cultivators with Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage, he wouldn't be harmed in the slightest right now.

If it was Chu Ling who was wearing the stone armor, then the number of cultivators in the same realm who could injure him would not be many.

Chu Ling only thought about it carefully. He knew that since he had entered the Heaven Understanding Stage, the might of the Dragon Marking Sword would definitely be completely unleashed. For the top one hundred in the Hundred Sect Competition, it was already a piece of cake.

Chu Ling only cleaned up a little before changing back into his clothes and returning to the skinny man's side. The only thing that left him somewhat embarrassed was that his previous head of black hair had already been completely burnt black, and even quietly curled up.

Originally, he had planned to shave it off. However, after thinking about his bald-headed appearance, he feared that he would become even more comical. Thus, he decided to give up.

Thinking to this point, Chu Ling bowed to the skinny old man seriously, and then said: "Since Senior is not willing to tell Chu Ling about what happened that year, then Chu Ling will not inquire any further.

But this time, the reason why Chu Ling was able to enter the Heaven Understanding Stage at the Great Perfection Stage, was all thanks to senior. Chu Ling thanks you once again, if senior has anything that you need Chu Ling to do, please do not hesitate to tell me! "

After Chu Ling finished speaking, the skinny man laughed lightly and said: "Actually, you don't have to thank me for today's matter. Perhaps, even if I don't make a move today, with your innate talent, with just a little bit of time, you would be able to enter the Perfection Stage as well.

As for the matter back then, I have already told you that you knew it too early on unintentionally. However, I can only tell you that if you want to know the truth of your father's death back then, you must enter the top one hundred of the Hundred Sect Competition.

As for the other things, I do have one thing to ask of you. "

"Senior, please speak your mind," Chu Ling said.

"If you can ever meet a girl named Zhuo Baixuan with a purple wind bell tied to her sword, you can tell her that I've let her down!" The skinny man blankly stared at the sky as he spoke.

Seeing this, Chu Ling let out a faint sigh, and directly agreed to it. After that, he no longer bothered with the skinny man's reminiscing, and after directly saluting, his body flew out of the Valley of the Hidden Wind.

What Chu Ling didn't know was that after he left, the skinny man's dragon-shaped iron rod that was originally in his hand quickly flew back up, and directly nailed it onto his right arm.

What Chu Ling did not know was that the price for using the Heaven-Shaking Eighteen Strikes wasn't the Spiritual Energy, but the withered man's remaining lifespan.

"It looks like I don't have much time left!"

At this moment, at the mouth of the Jufeng Valley, the silver-haired old man who seemed to have been sitting there all this time looked into the Jufeng Valley once more. When he discovered that there was still no one in sight, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

Although the Pill Flame Sect disciple who went in previously did not listen to her advice and wanted to make a temporary breakthrough in cultivation and was too impatient, he had to admit that Chu Ling's aptitude should not be bad.

"Sigh, misfortunate brat. Most likely, Patriarch Song had only just fought with one of them. I saw three bolts of lightning descending from the sky like a bolt of lightning, but I don't know if you've been affected or not." The silver-haired old man spoke with a worried tone.

But just at that time, just as he finished speaking, a man wearing moon-white clothes flew over from the distance. It was obvious that he was the impatient brat that he spoke of before.

Chu Ling did not know that his long absence had actually caused the silver haired old man to worry. However, seeing the expression in the old man's eyes, he cupped his fists and bowed to the elder who did not have any ill intentions.

When the silver-haired old man saw this, he intentionally hardened his face and said sincerely, "How is it? I've told you before that on the path of cultivation, you must take things step by step. Don't worry, you just won't listen and waste these two days.

If you had stayed in Xiang Huai City properly before, you would have been able to watch a few more matches of Heaven Understanding Stage. It would have been beneficial for you to break through Heaven Understanding Stage, do you understand? "

As the silver-haired old man finished speaking, he lightly stroked the beard on the corner of his mouth and thought that this time, Chu Ling, this brat, would definitely listen to his advice. However, he never expected that Chu Ling at that time would only slightly frown and speak frankly.

"Senior is right, but, it's just that Chu Ling has already borrowed the wind tribulation from the Wind Calamity Valley to break through his Heaven Understanding Stage, so he will have to return to Xiang Huai City to participate in the Large Competition."

Chu Ling's words instantly stirred a storm in the silver-haired old man's heart. In an instant, the preaching that the silver-haired old man was originally prepared for was immediately swallowed down, and he asked in shock, "You broke through?"

"Mn," Chu Ling nodded his head, and then released a thread of Heaven Understanding Stage.

After that, without waiting for the old man to speak, Chu Ling directly said: "Senior, the Hundred Sect Competition has already been going on for four days, this junior does not dare delay any longer, so, I will take my leave now."

When the silver-haired old man heard this, he did not say much and immediately waved his hand, indicating that Chu Ling could leave.

It was only long after Chu Ling had left that the silver-haired old man still did not understand why Chu Ling had broken through in such a short period of time. Furthermore, the aura that had been intentionally leaked out from his body did not seem like he had casually condensed a few spirit swords to break through.

The silver-haired old man was originally an elder of the Ru Yi Sect. In his mind, only the Young Lord of the Ru Yi Sect could have such a powerful aura after just breaking through. Even he had a faint feeling that Ye Chengru was inferior to him!

Thinking about that, he was extremely shocked, one must know that Ye Chengru was a genius who could open 89 acupoints in one go, if Chu Ling was stronger than him, then how many stronger would Chu Ling be?

Ninety? A hundred?

But in the next moment, when the silver-haired old man thought of Chu Ling's charred black hair and the lightning-like lightning on his head, his mouth opened wide in shock.

"Could it be, could he be a Lightning Tribulation that had been lured over by someone at the Great Perfection Stage?"
