　　“Using the physical body to shatter the tribulation cloud with one punch？”
　　Not to mention those ordinary cultivators, even Shi Hutian Jun had a look of disbelief on his face when he saw this scene.
Recalling the past, when they faced the tribulation thunder of breaking through the Heaven Shocking Realm, it was with the protection of the clan elders, the great formation restrictions, and the magic weapon supernatural powers that they barely managed to get through.
　　And like what Xu Taiping did today.
　　The act of using the physical body to resist the tribulation thunder and then shattering the tribulation cloud with one punch is simply unheard of.
　　“No, it’s not unheard of！”
　　At this time, in the midst of the surrounding exclamations and surprises, Shi Hutian Jun suddenly exclaimed.
　　Both Xiahou Qingyuan and Xiahou You beside him looked at him with confusion on their faces.
　　Xiahou Qingyuan was even more curiously asking：
　　Third Uncle, being able to pass through the first layer of tribulation clouds is nothing much, right？
　　Shi Hu Tianjun shook his head and said：
　　If it was just passing through the first layer of tribulation clouds, this would naturally be nothing much, but the problem is the way this Xu Taiping passed through the tribulation clouds！
　　Xiahou Qingyuan furrowed his brows and said：
　　What’s wrong with it？
　　Shi Hu Tianjun’s expression was serious as he said：
I once heard the previous generation patriarchs say that different ways of dealing with tribulation thunder result in completely different benefits when breaking through the tribulation.
　　And among them, using the physical body to endure the tribulation is the best.
　　If one can then shatter the tribulation clouds, it is even better among the best.
　　After satisfying these two points at the same time, there is a high possibility of obtaining a powerful gift from the Heavenly Dao in the tribulation method and comprehending the true meaning or divine meaning.
　　Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan immediately furrowed his brows and said：
　　Third Uncle, you mean that this Xu Taiping deliberately risked shattering the tribulation clouds with his physical body because he knew about these things？
　　Shi Hu Tianjun nodded and said：
　　Most likely.
　　As he said this, a beam of golden light suddenly shot down from the crack in the tribulation clouds and landed on Xu Taiping, who had once again fallen on the roof of Jiashe Hall.
　　In an instant, the originally scorched and torn body of Xu Taiping began to recover at a visible speed with the naked eye.
　　After seeing this scene, Shi Hu Tianjun immediately smiled bitterly and said：
　　“Whether he knows or not, this gift, he must have received it now.”
　　As he spoke, I saw a trace of fleeting electric light begin to appear on Xu Taiping’s body.
　　On his back, a thunder pattern clearly emerged.
　　After Xiahou Qingyuan saw the thunder pattern clearly, his heart trembled immediately and said：
　　“Is this the innate thunder pattern that can make cultivators quickly understand the thunder method and control the power of thunder！”
　　Xiahou You on the side tightly clenched his fist, and his eyes were a little moist and excited as he said：
　　“If you give up halfway, even a rotten piece of wood cannot be broken; if you persevere, even metal and stone can be engraved！”
　　“This is not a gift from the heavens, nor is it good luck. This is what Xu Taiping deserves！”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan and Shi Hu Tianjun both fell silent.
　　And as if in response to Xiahou You’s words, Xu Taiping, who was originally lying motionless on the ground, slowly stood up again.
I saw him pressing one hand on the long knife at his waist and grabbing the hat with the other hand and putting it on his head.
Then he looked up at the sky and said in a low tone:
　　“Xu Taiping of Qingxuan Sect, today, asks the sky for a knife！”
　　As soon as the voice fell, a dull thunderclap of “rumbling” was heard. At the same time, the originally gloomy robbery cloud layer continued to light up with robbery clouds.
　　In a very short moment, there were actually as many as twelve robbery clouds that lit up.
After seeing the number of robbery clouds clearly, the brow of Tianjun of Shihu tightened, and his expression was solemn as he said:
　　”Twelve robbery clouds descending robbery thunder at the same time. This is the treatment that ordinary cultivators only have when they break through to the Jingtian Realm and face the third layer of robbery clouds！”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan, on the other hand, snorted coldly and said：
　　”If it weren’t for that punch just now, it would never have been possible for twelve robbery clouds to light up at the same time. This is what he deserves！”
　　Xiahou You didn’t speak.
　　But her tightly clenched fist had already revealed her state of mind at this moment.
　　However, at this time, Xu Taiping seemed completely unaware of how terrifying the power of these twelve robbery clouds was. He just looked up at the sky, pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and assumed the posture of drawing the sword.
　　This situation was really like that of a cultivator asking the sky with a knife.
I don’t know why, but many cultivators who had just been cursing Xu Taiping, when they saw the scene of him pressing his hand on the handle of the knife and facing the twelve robbery clouds, somehow felt a sense of respect in their hearts.
　　A sense of respect as a cultivator.
　　……
　　”Rumbling…”
　　On the roof of Kasyapa Hall.
　　Xu Taiping, who was pressing the handle of the knife with his right hand to condense the saber momentum, the lotus pupil in his left eye suddenly lit up on its own, and a blue flame overflowed from the corner of his eye.
　　At the same time, the voice of the lotus pupil sounded again in his mind：
　　“Xu Taiping, do you need to use my power for this saber strike？”
　　The power that the lotus pupil mentioned naturally refers to the divine power that can advance the combat power of Xu Taiping ten years later.
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping didn’t answer, the lotus pupil added another sentence and said：
　　“This time, I can let you advance and pre-pay the power of thirty years later.”
　　Xu Taiping stared at the twelve clouds of tribulation that lit up above his head without blinking, and asked the lotus pupil rhetorically：
　　“If I at this moment can split those twelve clouds of tribulation with one saber strike, wouldn’t I be even stronger thirty years later？”
　　The lotus pupil was speechless.
　　Immediately, I heard Xu Taiping ask again：
“Lotus pupil, if I cross this layer of tribulation thunder with the method of asking the tribulation, can I still get the gift from the heavens like just now?
　　The reason why Xu Taiping asked the clouds of tribulation with his physical body before was precisely because the lotus pupil informed him in advance that by crossing the tribulation in this way, he could obtain unexpected benefits.
　　The lotus pupil replied：
　　“It depends on how powerful this saber strike of yours can be？”
　　The lotus pupil explained：
　　“As I just said, every heavenly tribulation after reaching the Transcendent Realm is an opportunity for cultivators. How much one can gain depends entirely on personal means.”
　　Lian Tong immediately added：
　　“However, for you, there are not many methods to avoid tribulations left on you. Instead of waiting for the tribulation thunder to slowly descend layer by layer and one after another, and then thinking of ways to avoid the tribulation.”
　　“It is better to break the tribulation with the method of asking the tribulation that I taught you, and the chance of winning is greater.”
　　If the cultivation base and combat power of Abbot Kasyapa, Dongfang Yuejian, and Master Xuanzhi were still there at this moment and could help Xu Taiping avoid the tribulation together, then naturally, it would be more likely to win by using the method of avoiding the tribulation to cross the tribulation.
　　But at present, he can only rely on himself, and in the situation where there are not many magic weapons and means on his body, it is indeed only as Lian Tong said, taking a desperate risk.
This is also the reason why Xu Taiping approved of Lian Tong’s suggestion.
　　Xu Taiping nodded silently and muttered in his heart：
　　“I understand.”
At this time, accompanied by another burst of “rumbling” thunderclaps, on the tribulation cloud above the head the lightning like a spider web flashed by again.
　　With the experience of last time, Xu Taiping knew that this tribulation thunder was about to descend soon.
　　Immediately, he was seen closing his eyes and starting to sense the remaining several clones he left in the Zhenmo Coffin in Youxuan Cave with his mind.
　　The most special feature of the Xuanyuan clone is.
　　Even if it is tens of thousands of miles apart, the True Body can still sense it very clearly.
　　After separately sensing for a while, Xu Taiping’s mind finally fell on the clone that was practicing the saber for him.
　　Just at this time, the voice of the Saber Ghost rang out in his mind：
　　Kid, it’s very good that you can choose like this！
　　The Saber Ghost continued：
　　Today, when breaking the tribulation, you can ask the sky with the saber. Why worry that you won’t be able to open the heavenly gate with the saber when ascending to the sky in the future？
　　What the Saber Ghost said was exactly what was in Xu Taiping’s mind.
　　So he nodded silently, and then without any more doubts, he suddenly dissipated the Xuanyuan clone that was practicing the saber for him in the Demon Suppressing Coffin in the Youxuan Cave.
　　Boom！…
　　In an instant, the true essence and qi and blood that originally belonged to the Xuanyuan clone were all poured into Xu Taiping’s body.
　　Of course, the most important thing was that what this Xuanyuan clone had gained from practicing the saber with the Saber Ghost in the Demon Suppressing Coffin for several years was also all integrated into Xu Taiping’s divine soul.
　　Zheng…
In an instant, a saber intent full of desolation and sorrow suddenly carried the spiritual energy of the Western Zhou Dynasty and turned into a saber qi pillar that soared into the sky.
At the same time, a huge stone tablet phantom suddenly rose behind Xu Taiping.
　　And the names engraved on that stone tablet were actually those of cultivators who, witnessed by Xu Taiping’s own eyes, died defending the city for the common people, died safeguarding the Tao for the human race, or died while proving the Tao for themselves.
　　The saber intent or sword intent of saber cultivators and sword cultivators is vastly different at each stage of their cultivation.
　　Some people’s saber intent is like a volcanic eruption, while others’ saber intent is like a surging river.
　　And Xu Taiping’s saber intent was actually formed by the resolute determination of those cultivators who fearlessly sacrificed their lives to safeguard the Tao that he had witnessed over the years.
　　In his opinion, compared to the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon, these resolute determinations to fearlessly face death in order to prove the Tao, safeguard the Tao, and save all living beings in the world are the sharpest blades in the hands of those seeking the Tao in this world.
　　As the names on the stone tablet were all revealed, a line of words suddenly appeared on the last line of the stone tablet –
　　“The one who goes to his death today is Xu Taiping of the Qingxuan Sect.”
