Song Shi did not retreat with all his might, but he still covered a distance of one thousand and five hundred kilometers with each step. He quickly retreated to an empty area, ensuring that he would not affect the Dian Cang Sword Sect.
Even so, it still shocked the Dian Cang Sword Sect cultivators.
Each step he took was one thousand and five hundred kilometers. This divine power was obviously extraordinary. Even a Supreme Saint might not be able to do it.
"Divine Teleportation Footwork? Could it be that he has cultivated the complete Divine Teleportation Footwork divine power?"
The white-robed man was shocked. Then, he saw the huge thundercloud condensing above Song Shi's head after the sky dissipated. He frowned. "His aura hasn't reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. This isn't a lightning tribulation that breaks through a major realm. It's the Mortal Cleansing Tribulation!"
The Heavenly Tribulation of Washing Away Dust was a lightning tribulation that targeted non-living beings of this world. Even the ascenders of the planes under the Black Spirit Realm were considered outsiders to this world. Once they appeared here, they would trigger the lightning tribulation.
Basically, every cultivator who was not from this world had to face this tribulation until the aura of the lower realm on their bodies was washed clean. Only then would they not be rejected by the rules of heaven and earth and be repelled by the lightning tribulation.
"Sixth Elder, the problem is that a cultivator who has just ascended should be at the Soul Transformation realm, right? This person…"
The subordinate beside him had a strange expression.
"Yes, there's something wrong with this person."
The white-robed man stared at the increasingly huge thundercloud. "And his lightning tribulation is too terrifying. It feels like a fusion tribulation for the body integration realm."
He looked at the terrifying thunderclouds that spanned thousands of miles and his heart skipped a beat. If he encountered one, he had no confidence in crossing it. Why did this guy still look so calm?
"Check if there's any news of this person immediately. I keep feeling that he's a little familiar."
The white-robed man came back to his senses and felt that he had seen Song Shi somewhere before.
"Sixth Elder, I also find it a little familiar. That's strange."
The subordinate beside him was puzzled. He thought of something and took out a token. After activating it, light flowed and condensed into a portrait.
It was Song Shi's appearance.
The white-robed man immediately remembered and exclaimed, "Isn't this the eighth person who was lost in the cross-border Teleportation three years ago? Why is he here now? And he's transcending the tribulation!"
His expression changed. "At that time, the higher-ups said to be careful of this person. Quickly inform the sect master!"
His subordinates hurriedly moved.
Soon, a man carrying a sword box appeared out of thin air and said to the white-robed man, "Du Ling, is this the person?"
He quickly glanced at Song Shi, who was transcending the tribulation. As the lightning tribulation was too ferocious, he could not see its exact appearance.
"Yes, Sect Master. We all saw his appearance."
Du Ling nodded.
Fu Yuhua frowned. "It's been three years. How did this guy who disappeared for no reason suddenly appear? We didn't find any trace of him at the beginning of the investigation."
"We can only wait for him to finish transcending his tribulation and ask him." Du Ling shrugged. It seemed that he had a good relationship with Fu Yuhua.
"Does this guy have a grudge against our sect? First, he made us spend more than 10 million spirit stones for nothing, and now he's at our door, transcending the tribulation."
Fu Yuhua complained unhappily.
"Fortunately, he didn't transcend the tribulation here. Otherwise, it would have consumed the power of our Array Formation again."
Fifteen minutes later, the thunderclouds gradually dissipated, and the lightning tribulation ended. Song Shi rubbed his numb face. "It almost threatened my life."
He turned around and saw a Fusion Great Saint. He was probably one of the upper echelons of the Dian Cang Sword Sect. He took a step forward and said with a smile, "The lightning tribulation is settled. I'm Song Shi. How should I address the two of you?"
"The Sect Master of the Dian Cang Sword Sect, Fu Yuhua. He's the Sixth Elder, Du Ling. As for your background, we already know."
Fu Yuhua's face was cold. "What happened to you the last time you teleported across worlds? Do you know how long we waited for you and how much damage you caused us?"
"Uh, for some reason, I was stuck in the Teleportation channel last time."
Song Shi smiled awkwardly.
"Hmph, stuck inside? Do you think that's possible? The power of cross-border Teleportation is so strong. How can it be stuck?"
Fu Yuhua thought that this fellow was lying and couldn't help but feel furious.
"Don't be angry. I'll compensate you for your losses."
Song Shi knew that he was in the wrong and could not be bothered to explain himself. If there were any losses, he would think of a way to compensate.
"Can you afford it?"
Du Ling was speechless. "The Vermilion Bird Palace has yet to compensate us for the loss of more than ten million superior-grade spirit stones. You want to compensate us alone? Not to mention the Vermilion Bird Palace has also incurred the same amount of losses."
"More than 10 million?"
Song Shi was shocked. The last time he ate at the Rainbow Tower, it was only about six hundred thousand yuan. This time, it had increased by more than twenty times.
Including the Vermilion Bird Palace, it was more than forty times.
He reckoned that he might not be able to afford it even with all his assets. Even if he drew the lottery, he would not always get high-value treasures.
"Well, it's indeed a little difficult. Why don't you kill me to vent your anger?"
Song Shi thought for a moment and said shockingly.
He had a lot of lives, so it was easy for him to compensate with one life. However, in front of others, these words were like those of a lunatic.
Fu Yuhua's face twitched. "Are you f*cking crazy? Why would I want your life? You're not a dragon or a phoenix. Selling your flesh isn't worth much."
"We don't want your life and want you to compensate us with spirit stones, but you can't even afford clothes. I don't think you have much money."
Du Ling looked at the clothes condensed from Song Shi's Nomological power and the gourd on his waist. He felt that this fellow was indeed poor.
Fu Yuhua frowned. "No matter how much money you have, compensate me some money first as interest. This gourd of yours is worth a million. I will take it as interest first."
"…"
Song Shi patted the gourd. "I quite like this Dharma treasure. Why don't I give you something else."
He took out the remaining five treasures that Shopkeeper He had chosen from last time. The value of these items was much lower. They were far inferior to the Profound Heaven Dragon Slaying Saber, the sacred medicine, and the Yin Yang Gourd. But together, they were probably worth more than a million. He did not know the exact value and deduced their estimated value from the value of the sacred medicine and the gourd.
