In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
The third level of the Tribulation of Three Nines is characterized by its jet-black lightning, thick as a barrel, and its power is beyond description.
Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, without defensive measures, would not dare to confront him head-on.
Liu Yunqing, however, did not even activate the defensive formation.
Furthermore, the protective armor he wore had already been shattered to pieces during the second tribulation of lightning.
Such behavior would be seen as tantamount to courting death by onlookers!
In other words, the back mountain of Mingzhao Peak is not a place that ordinary disciples of sects can come to; otherwise, the shock and commotion at this moment would probably be even louder than the sound of thunder.
The moment Mingzhao Daojun sent the message, he was already thinking of ways to save Liu Yunqing's life.
However, the fierce lightning bolt, thicker than Liu Yunqing's body, suddenly lost half its power when it landed on the dark mass.
The remaining portion was largely blocked by the curtain of fire pushed out by two charcoal-like, skeletal hands.
In the end, the tribulation lightning that actually struck Liu Yunqing not only failed to extinguish her life force, but her aura even began to slowly recover!
Daoist Mingzhao: "???"
He put down the defensive artifact he was about to throw and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Jian Xing, who was already quite used to being shocked, let out a long sigh upon seeing his master's actions and said:
"Master, you are not mistaken, she is recovering."
Mingzhao Daojun could naturally see it, but he was a little hesitant to believe it at first glance. By the time Jianxing spoke, he had already understood the key to it.
"What an amazing girl!"
Daoist Mingzhao praised him sincerely, but also felt embarrassed for his previous disdain.
If his previous visit to witness Liu Yunqing's advancement was out of a sense of responsibility and due to Liu Yunqing's special status, then at this moment, Daoist Mingzhao was glad that he had not missed Liu Yunqing's advancement.
May you enjoy boundless happiness and longevity. He apologized again for his previous thought that he had wasted time.
Liu Yunqing was unaware of the changes in the master and disciple's minds, and was completely immersed in joy.
She really did it!
The idea of converting the fire elemental power within the tribulation lightning into power to counteract it was something that suddenly came to Liu Yunqing's mind after she had endured the first tribulation lightning.
However, due to her natural awe of the lightning tribulation, Liu Yunqing did not immediately put it into practice. It wasn't until the second lightning tribulation had passed that she forced herself to make this bold attempt.
To my utter surprise, it actually worked out like this!
When the final bolt of lightning struck, Liu Yunqing was not reduced to ashes; instead, he exuded a powerful aura.
The tribulation lightning above her head, on the other hand, roared with a muffled rumble, seemingly unwilling to accept defeat, but could only retreat helplessly as the tribulation clouds dissipated.
At this moment, Liu Yunqing was no longer on the ground, but had been cleaved into the ground.
Looking up at the receding tribulation clouds, Liu Yunqing did not rush to climb out of the pit. Instead, she assumed the posture of facing the sky with her five hearts facing the heavens, and began to meditate and regulate her breathing, using the little spiritual power she had left.
The moment the tribulation clouds receded, a small-scale spiritual rain began to fall, centered on Liu Yunqing.
"Tick-tock—"
A raindrop struck Liu Yunqing's pitch-black charcoal bones, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, a trace of flesh color appeared out of thin air on that pitch-black body.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—tick-tock—
A series of raindrops fell one after another.
On the blackened, charcoal-like bones, devoid of flesh and blood, it seemed as if delicate, vibrant pink flowers bloomed in an instant.
The ticking sound that had once given Liu Yunqing nightmares and chilled her to the bone now carried a life-giving power, enveloping her like celestial music.
As the spiritual rain soaked every inch of Liu Yunqing's body, as if by magic, she began to undergo a complete transformation.
The blackened, charred skeleton, each bone translucent, gleamed with a faint reddish light.
One by one, acupoints began to emanate spiritual energy, and meridians, like rivers flowing from the sea, meandered to every corner of the body.
Light as a feather yet full of resilient flesh and blood, like a thick city wall, firmly integrating the meridians and bones into one.
And that skin, as white as jade, as smooth as cream, and as soft as clouds, provided a final layer of camouflage for this newborn yet powerful being.
Finally, her long, silky hair cascaded down from her head to her ankles, radiating a cool yet soft glow.
With the completion of the elixir in the dantian, the physical body is reborn, and the golden elixir is finally formed!
Liu Yunqing slowly opened her eyes, looked at her slender hand that seemed to radiate light, and clenched her fist tightly—
"Crack! Crack! Boom!"
The explosive sound of the fist made Liu Yunqing feel the power even more profound and substantial.
With this roar, the entire Mingzhao Peak was instantly cleared up, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and filled with celestial music!
"Okay, okay, it's done!"
"But Master, why is the weather so clear? It's a bit strange."
Two voices approached from afar; they were none other than Master Jianxing and Daoist Mingzhao, master and disciple.
As if remembering something, Liu Yunqing looked down at her naked new body and calmly prepared to find some clothes to put on.
The next instant, however, a furious shout from the Daoist Master Xi rang out:
"You two, stop right there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yunqing felt a set of robes descend from the sky and instantly wrap himself in it.
Meanwhile, Jianxing Zhenren and Mingzhao Daojun, who were walking over, also realized what was going on and stopped awkwardly, making small talk.
"You know what, this really is like the clear sky after your tribulation, young friend. It seems even clearer than others' skies!"
"Indeed! It's not only a bit sunnier, but I can even feel waves of scorching heat. It's really strange!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Wenxi glanced at the sky, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Stupid! Won't two solar panels get hot?"
Just as Liu Yunqing floated lightly out of the pit, Daoist Wenxi instantly put aside the strange feeling that flashed through his mind and took two steps to meet Liu Yunqing.
"How about it?"
Liu Yunqing spun around in place to indicate that she was fine.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, silently chanting "Boundless Blessings and Longevity, Heavenly Venerable" a few times, before smiling and handing Liu Yunqing a storage bag, saying:
"Congratulations on the successful completion of the Golden Elixir!"
"Once you reach the Golden Core stage, you have truly embarked on the path to immortality. May your path to immortality be smooth and your path to enlightenment be clear!"
Liu Yunqing wanted to refuse, but the other party's words, though unspoken, had the air of a master.
The polite words that were about to come out were swallowed by Liu Yunqing, who instead respectfully accepted the gift with both hands and sincerely thanked Wen Xidaojun.
Wenxi Daojun's smile became even more benevolent, and another layer of secret joy in his heart was even harder to suppress. Just as he was about to continue exchanging pleasantries with Liu Yunqing, he heard Mingzhao Daojun suddenly shout "Ah!"
Liu Yunqing and the other looked over at the same time, and saw Daoist Mingzhao pointing at the blazing sun in the azure sky, looking at them somewhat incoherently and saying:
"That, that, that's not the sun!"
The two, puzzled, looked at the scorching round sun and asked:
"What else could it be but the sun?"
Before Daoist Mingzhao could speak, True Person Jianxing, standing to the side, trembled and said:
"It's a celestial phenomenon!"
