Wu Can didn't respond to those people's words, but just pulled Wu Ling and ran wildly through the dilapidated home.

Xiao Jiu couldn't accept the destruction of her family, but she wasn't reckless or impulsive enough to think she was insignificant.

After the initial shock and anger, Xiao Jiu felt a surge of self-reproach.

If she hadn't neglected her cultivation and spent her days playing, she wouldn't have been unable to provide any assistance when she was in trouble at home, and she wouldn't have needed her myna bird to protect her.

It was as if I could feel all the emotions in Wu Ling's heart, as if I were experiencing them myself.

Xiao Jiu stopped uttering those useless words about staying to seek revenge and silently followed Wu Can's footsteps.

"arrive."

Wu Ling's thoughts were pulled back by Wu Can's words, and she looked at the environment in front of her with some surprise.

Isn't this the place where she used to secretly hide away and slack off when she didn't want to cultivate?

Why did the myna bird bring her here at this time?

Wu Can didn't explain to Wu Ling, but walked straight to the end of the cave, raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a stone door slowly opened.

"There's a teleportation array inside the door. Leave here immediately and hide as deep as you can."

"If that day ever comes... then you will be able to clear the name of our Golden Crow clan; if not... then you will live a healthy and peaceful life."

When Wu Can said these words, he didn't look at Xiao Jiu. After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Xiao Jiu agreed or not, and pushed Xiao Jiu into the stone door.

"Myna! Let's go together!"

Xiao Jiu stumbled into the doorway and turned to grab Wu Can's hand, but Wu Can had already closed the stone door from the outside.

The moment the formation was activated, Wu Ling heard shouts of battle, followed by the sound of the formation exploding.

"Myna bird!!!"

Xiao Jiu's desperate shouts actually produced no sound at all.

The next instant, the whole world was plunged into darkness.

...

As Zhenru advanced in his temporary cave dwelling, his eyes, which were tightly closed, twitched, and he resumed the hand seals.

When advancing to the next level, if you don't have the energy to think deeply, just remember the scene that is not a demon in your heart but appears at the location of the demon tribulation, and focus your divine sense on the situation in your dantian.

At this moment, the golden-red elixir within Zhenru's dantian had already been crushed and merged with the immortal power it contained, circulating within his dantian even before Zhenru made the hand seals.

As Zhenru moved his hand seals, the circulating power was compressed inward from the dantian, slowly forming an oval-shaped sphere of power.

Zhenru changed hand seals from time to time, silently recited the incantation of the Heavenly Fire Technique, and felt the immortal energy continuously flowing into his body from the Golden Crow Space, endlessly gathering towards his dantian.

At first, there was no change. Like other stages of advancement, it was just about constantly absorbing immortal energy and then channeling it into the dantian.

Once the immortal energy in the dantian reaches a certain level, Zhenru's absorption rate of immortal energy slows down, and the oval sphere in the center of the dantian begins to change.

From bottom to top, first the feet, then the legs, then the body, then the arms, palms, neck, and head.

It sounds simple, but the process was long, taking a whole day and night.

Until the last strand of hair was completely condensed, a resonant buzzing sound, as if echoing, resounded within her soul.

After the sound, Zhenru seemed to sense something, and his divine sense transformed into eyes, looking towards the "little person" that had just condensed in his dantian, and meeting the "little person's" newly opened eyes.

This is his own nascent soul.

Excitement and joy flashed through Zhenru's heart. The nascent soul sensed Zhenru's feelings, and as soon as its innocent eyes opened, a smile appeared on the corners of its lips.

The Nascent Soul figure looks exactly like Zhenru, except that its hair, eyelashes, and pupils are a deep flame color, not black.

Thus, Zhenru's originally heroic and aloof face showed a touch of passion and eeriness on the little nascent soul.

Zhenru felt that the appearance of the nascent soul was her true self.

She was very satisfied.

If one does not observe for too long, once the Nascent Soul is formed, the tribulation of lightning will naturally not be far off. Although one is not afraid of the tribulation of lightning, one should still prepare well.

As Zhenru changed his hand seals, the Heavenly Fire Fusang Bow, which had been stored in the Golden Crow Space during his advancement, landed on the Nascent Soul's lap.

Before Zhenru could even circulate his immortal power twice, half of the sky had already turned completely black, and the muffled but heavy thunder rumbled incessantly from beyond the heavens.

As soon as the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck, Zhenru knew that this tribulation lightning was extraordinary.

It wasn't just an expected extraordinary achievement, but a truly unexpected and extraordinary one.

As all cultivators know, when different cultivators advance to the same cultivation level, the intensity of the tribulation lightning will be adjusted according to the cultivator's strength and potential.

If that were the case, she naturally knew that the heavenly tribulation would not be easy for her.

But she forgot one thing: no matter how bad things got, the Heavenly Dao was on her side in the Sun Realm.

Now she is not in the Sun Realm, but in the Solid Spirit Realm. The Heavenly Dao of the Solid Spirit Realm does not need her to do anything, so it is naturally going all out to try to bring down this human cultivator who is defying the heavens.

Or is he a cultivator from another realm?

Heaven was very dissatisfied, so it intensified the tribulation lightning that struck Zhenru.

The power of the six-nine lightning tribulation required to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was forcibly increased to be stronger than the ordinary nine-nine lightning tribulation.

Such a commotion caused such a stir that it was as if the lightning had been thrown into the celestial realm.

This even surprised the elders who had rushed over from the Qingxuan Dao Sect.

"Yue'er, tell me honestly, what kind of monster did you bring back?"

Inside the Qingxuan Dao Sect's headquarters, a middle-aged male cultivator, dressed impeccably but speaking incoherently, looked at the dark sky filled with tribulation clouds and asked Qin Yue a question.

Qin Yue knew Zhen Ru was strong, but he didn't know her tribulation lightning was this strong; she truly seemed like a monster.

"She can't just advance directly to the Nascent Soul stage, can she?"

"Um?"

Hearing his elder's puzzled "hmm," Qin Yue quickly pulled himself out of his reverie and answered seriously:

"I don't know about anything else, but I do know that she can extract the essence of the Golden Crow as easily as taking something out of a bag."

The elder suddenly turned around, his expression of emotion and nonchalance replaced by shock as he stared at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue didn't speak, but nodded firmly.

The elder's expression turned serious. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking Qin Yue:

"Are many people aware of this?"

Qin Yue shook his head and quickly said:

"Not many, as far as I know... there's probably one of her rivals from the Sun Realm who knows as well."

When they were vying for the Golden Crow's essence blood, Qin Yue, along with True Person Qingyuan and True Person Qingli, refrained from making any rash moves.

However, the other two were not familiar with Zhenru and were simply following him without paying attention to Zhenru's words and actions, so they did not see Zhenru take away the Golden Crow's essence blood.

At this moment, Qin Yue was also glad that the two people hadn't seen it, even though they were from the same sect and were both elites in the sect.

Seeing Qin Yue's confident expression, the elder breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Yue:

"Please return to your sect and be well received."
