Chapter 55: The System stays silent, only blindly summoning tribulation lightning

Patrol Mode?

Jiang Li’s Face was full of question marks.

As if sensing Jiang Li’s confusion, a System notification popped up.

【Ding! The Cultivation Technique “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra” responds to the will of heaven and earth, acting on behalf of the path of Heavenly Tribulation. It manifests as the Thunder Spirit Body to punish the sins of the world. During the patrol period, the source of mana is paid for by heaven and earth. Every time a sin is cleansed, Noble Spirit will increase twofold, and Thunder Power will grow twofold.】

Jiang Li was shocked.

There’s such a good thing?

The so-called Patrol Mode was to simulate the operation of the Heavenly Tribulation to strike at sin. He could also transform into a Thunder Spirit, becoming part of the thunder and using the power of lightning at will. In this process, the Cultivation Technique could also obtain double the reward feedback.

And because he was punishing on behalf of heaven, his mana was inexhaustible; for every bit consumed, heaven and earth would replenish it.

This was completely the “Plus” version of Li Xi.

Now he really had become a humanoid Heavenly Tribulation.

The sky of the Tianxuan Holy Land was about to fall.

Jiang Li couldn’t believe how many Disciples would get to enjoy the taste of Body Tempering via lightning in advance under the Cultivation Technique’s Patrol Mode.

Could he still become the Holy Lord of the Tianxuan Holy Land?

He wouldn’t be the first Holy Lord in history to be impeached and ousted, would he?

Jiang Li thought to himself.

He felt exhausted.

The next second.

He let go of control over his body and allowed the Cultivation Technique to take over.

The Cultivation Technique reached out with a beckoning motion.

The Law Enforcement Hall’s Tier 3 Spirit Treasure, the heart-questioning mirror, automatically floated above his head.

It bobbed up and down.

It seemed to be jumping for joy.

Once a Spirit Treasure reached Tier 3, it would have already developed a faint sentience. Not to mention a core treasure like the heart-questioning mirror; nurtured by the Law Enforcement Hall, its intelligence was already no weaker than that of a three-year-old child.

Whomever it felt close to meant that person was the least likely to be a bad person.

“It seems the heart-questioning mirror likes you very much. My decision was correct. Go ahead and act boldly. As long as you walk the path of practicing the Righteous Path, the Law Enforcement Hall will always be your backer.”

Elder Xingfa Cui Yan’s old Face was full of gratification.

Then his tone shifted.

His gaze fell upon several Foundation Establishment Disciples lying like corpses.

He snorted coldly, “You know best what you’ve done. Relying on your status as Holy Land Disciples to throw your weight around in the secular world, buying low and selling high, using threats and inducements… some even participated in murder for treasures. Usually, the Law Enforcement Hall turns a blind eye and just makes you complete more missions to slay demons and eliminate devils, but that is no reason for you to be so unscrupulous.”

Hearing this.

A group of Inner Sect Disciples, including the burly man, shuddered violently.

Cold sweat poured down.

If they had known, they wouldn’t have come to watch the commotion.

They didn’t expect to get themselves into trouble.

Meanwhile, the instigator not only had no issues but also received the recognition of the Law Enforcement Hall and was bestowed the Tier 3 Spirit Treasure, the heart-questioning mirror, to launch an evil-sweeping operation.

This time.

Who knows how many Disciples were going to suffer.

“We shall keep the Elder’s decree in mind.”

Many Inner Sect Disciples didn’t dare to stay any longer and scattered in a panic.

Then… Jiang Li moved as well.

His body, under the control of the Cultivation Technique, suddenly lunged forward.

The Thunder Palace in his lungs surged violently.

Divine thunder within his body triggered spontaneously.

A dazzling green light burst forth.

Arcs of electricity crackled and popped, turning the several meters of space around him entirely into a lightning field.

The momentum was terrifying.

Seeing this.

The scattering Inner Sect Disciples showed expressions of shock.

A Cultivator who had just entered Foundation Establishment could actually erupt with such terrifying and majestic heavenly power.

Didn’t they say this Jiang Li had achieved Asking the Dao Foundation Establishment less than a month ago?

This strength was far too excessive.

His lightning techniques were simply more terrifying than those of the Senior Brothers ranked in the top thirty of the inner sect.

“Wait, why are you chasing me? I haven’t done anything to weigh on my conscience!”

A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator saw Jiang Li chasing him and was about to have a mental breakdown.

Now Jiang Li had been labeled as a “villain detector.”

Anyone he targeted undoubtedly had sins upon them.

This was a total stain.

It couldn’t be washed away at all.

Jiang Li didn’t speak.

Mana poured into the heart-questioning mirror above his head.

The heart-questioning mirror suddenly radiated a layer of halo.

A character appeared in the mirror.

“False.”

“False” meant he was lying.

This was the most basic ability of the heart-questioning mirror.

It could judge whether the words a person spoke were true or false.

The Sword Cultivator:… His expression froze, his Face filled with the shame and annoyance of having his lie exposed.

He looked at Jiang Li through gritted teeth.

He fled on his flying sword.

A wisp of lightning light burst from Jiang Li’s fingertip.

It struck the Sword Cultivator with lightning speed.

He fell down amidst screams.

Then Jiang Li caught up.

The divine thunder triggered automatically, and the lightning struck again.

The strikes made the Sword Cultivator’s body tumble over and over as he screamed repeatedly.

“I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything! I did do things against my conscience! I snatched cultivation resources from Loose Cultivators and beat them up, forcing them to leave their homes!”

Hearing these words.

The other fleeing Inner Sect Disciples no longer held any illusions.

This Jiang Li could really tell if they had committed evil.

Damn. How could there be such a Heaven-Defying ability to expose secrets… On Jiang Li’s side, having cleansed another sin, he clearly felt the Thunder Power in his lung’s Thunder Palace grow stronger, with Thunder Qi filling more than half of his lungs.

This was the cultivation method of the new Cultivation Technique, the “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra.”

Condense five Thunder Seeds and nurture a Thunder Palace in each of the five major organs: heart, liver, lungs, spleen, and kidneys. Once the Thunder Qi filled these five Thunder Palaces, it would be time to advance to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

And now… after ten days of Cultivation and the feedback from cleansing sins, his lung’s Thunder Palace was already more than half full.

He would soon be able to condense the second Thunder Seed.

“This speed is really fast.”

The damn Cultivation Technique might cause trouble, but the growth in cultivation was also truly fast.

It made him both love and worry.

Soon.

Jiang Li set off a baptism of Heavenly Tribulation in the Tianlei Mountain Range.

Wherever the lightning reached, a Disciple would be exposed, pouring out every evil deed they had committed.

Jiang Li’s Cultivation Technique progress was also improving rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Qi in his lung’s Thunder Palace was completely filled.

More Thunder Qi condensed into a second Thunder Seed in the liver area.

The Thunder Power grew increasingly stronger.

From the initial thickness of a hair, it became as thick as a finger.

Below the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, even a Body Cultivator couldn’t withstand a single shot.

Jiang Li exclaimed how terrifying it was.

As expected of a product formed by the Fusion and sublimation of the Tianxuan Holy Land’s core Cultivation Technique; its strength was simply over the top.

Just by mastering it, its power was enough to allow him to fight across a Realm.

If all five Thunder Seeds were condensed, he could rival Foundation Establishment Perfection with just his lightning techniques.

The thickness of his mana was definitely not something Cultivators of the same level could imagine.

Not long after.

Jiang Li once again caught up with a Spell Cultivator who was fleeing at high speed.

This Spell Cultivator Disciple frequently looked back at Jiang Li behind him as if looking at some kind of monstrous beast, his Face full of terror.

“Jiang Li, you can’t touch me! I’m one of Senior Brother Morning Light’s people! Senior Brother Morning Light is an elite ranked in the top thirty of the inner sect, and his cultivation has already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection! If you touch me, Senior Brother Morning Light won’t let you off!”

Jiang Li was expressionless.

Arcs of lightning had already burst from his fingertips.

Each one was as thick as a finger.

The energy nurtured within made this Spell Cultivator’s soul fly out in fear.

In the next second.

This Spell Cultivator Disciple ran to a group of Immortal Cave buildings.

He shouted in terror: “Senior Brother Morning Light, someone is challenging your authority! It was useless even when I mentioned your name; he insists on causing trouble for me… Aaaah!”

Before he could finish his sentence.

The lightning arc in Jiang Li’s hand had already struck him with unerring precision.

One after another.

【Ding! The Cultivation Technique “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra” has cleansed sin once again. The conviction of justice has been catalyzed, leading to a deeper understanding of the path of Heavenly Tribulation. The connection with the Heavenly Tribulation has deepened, allowing for the drawing down of a trace of Heavenly Tribulation from the void.】

Hiss… drawing down Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation is also known as the “Little Cultivation Technique”; this really lived up to its name.

At this time.

Outside the Immortal Cave.

Many Inner Sect elite Disciples who heard the commotion poked their heads out one after another.

They showed expressions of watching a good show.

A young man with a feminine Face walked out of the Immortal Cave.

His narrow phoenix eyes were full of coldness.

The feminine youth first glanced at his lackey, who had been struck into a mess, and then his gaze immediately fell on Jiang Li.

His phoenix eyes narrowed.

“Junior Brother Jiang, what is the meaning of this? Attacking my person for no reason… has my, Morning Light’s, Face already become so useless? Are you declaring war on me?”

Jiang Li stared at him blankly.

He saw that above the head of this feminine youth named Morning Light, a crimson mark of evil was glowing brightly.

It was even redder than the Demonic Cultivator Zhou Yang he had caught before.

Holy crap.

Just how many undercover agents have infiltrated the Tianxuan Holy Land?

Jiang Li activated the effect of the Cultivation Technique entry “Heart of Justice” for a deep exposure.

“An undercover agent sent by the Yinkui Sect, and even the illegitimate son of the Yinkui Sect’s Sect Master.”

Jiang Li was startled.

Recalling his experience of being betrayed during the operation to suppress the Yinkui Sect, it turned out the one who leaked their whereabouts was the person in front of him.

What a coincidence.

“Not speaking and pretending to be an expert? It seems I haven’t taken action for too long, making you all forget how I got this position in the top thirty of the inner sect.”

Hostility grew in Morning Light’s eyes.

The reason he knew Jiang Li was entirely because the other had appeared in the operation to suppress the Yinkui Sect and had even killed Tang Qi, whom he had called over to ambush the Huashen Class Disciples.

Only after that was the matter of Asking the Dao Foundation Establishment.

And now… the other party had appeared openly before him again, bullying his person.

New and old grudges—he would settle them all at once.

Morning Light thought so.

The next second.

He saw Jiang Li move.

His palm was raised.

Lightning raged in his palm.

“Lightning techniques? Mere parlor tricks. No matter how profound the Cultivation Technique, it still needs mana support.”

Morning Light didn’t care.

He was at Foundation Establishment Perfection; could the other party possibly instant-kill him?

Until… he saw a patch of thunderclouds gathering above Jiang Li’s head.

Within the thunderclouds, a Golden Core tribulation lightning radiated heavenly power.

Morning Light:… He looked up, his Face showing a bit of dazed blankness.

Sum—summoning tribulation lightning?

What kind of Cultivation Technique is he practicing?

“Wait, wait, Junior Brother Jiang, we have no grievances or enmity, there’s no need to…”

“Fall.”

Jiang Li didn’t speak.

What bad intentions could the System have? It just wanted the tribulation lightning to fall and strike this demonic brat to death.
