Despite being defeated multiple times by Lingxiao Zhenren, Bai Mumu gritted her teeth and persisted in sacrificing her soul.

The pale blue divine soul power gradually enveloped Lingxiao Zhenren and entered his body.

The icy coolness quickly calmed his restless flames.

In a daze, Lingxiao Zhenren, caught up in the killing, seemed to hear someone calling his name.

"Master, Master!"

"I am Mu Mu, Master, your youngest disciple, Bai Mu Mu."

The next moment, Master Lingxiao clutched his head in agony, roaring and howling.

No, his disciple is Shen Sangruo!

Then, all that was heard was this sentence:

"I am willing to offer my soul to help my master regain his clarity of mind!"

Chen Daochen's eyes were filled with tears. He turned his head away, unable to bear to look any longer.

In this life, they owed Bai Mumu too much; even Ling Xiao's fall into demonic possession required her to save him.

The black mist before Lingxiao Zhenren finally dissipated, and his rationality returned.

Before he could even process what was happening, he saw Bai Mumu, her face as white as paper, collapse helplessly in front of him.

With her last strength, she managed a smile. "Master, you've finally woken up."

Lingxiao Zhenren stared blankly at his hands, which still retained traces of demonic energy, utterly shocked.

He fell into demonic possession? And was he saved by Bai Mumu?

He clearly remembered the thoughts in his mind when he fell into demonic possession. He actually wanted to kill Shen Daochen, Bai Mumu and his disciples, and even the entire Feiyun Sect.

He rushed forward, wanting to pick Bai Mumu up.

But Shen Daochen rushed over first, shielding Bai Mumu in his arms, and said coldly to him:

"If you don't want Mu Mu's efforts to be in vain, then withstand the remaining tribulation lightning, break through to the Void Refinement stage, and don't let down the divine soul she sacrificed!"

At this moment, twenty-seven of the sixty-four lightning tribulations remained.

Master Lingxiao opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He sat back down in the center of the round platform to face the next tribulation lightning.

Shen Daochen then left with Bai Mumu.

Now that the inner demon tribulation has been resolved, there is no longer any need for Lingxiao Zhenren to protect him.

Go back and call someone to take away the elders who were defeated by Master Lingxiao.

The Flying Cloud Sect lost at least five elders this time.

Well, now that Master Lingxiao has successfully broken through, that's the best outcome.

The eerie red light in the clouds of tribulation gradually dissipated as Lingxiao Zhenren regained consciousness.

When the other cultivators saw that the tribulation clouds had returned to normal, they understood that True Person Lingxiao had overcome his inner demons.

Once the tribulation lightning is finished, the cultivation world will have gained another cultivator at the Void Refinement stage after thousands of years.

Those from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits who were preparing to suppress the rebellion relaxed and observed the situation.

"Those tribulation clouds were so terrifyingly red, I thought Lingxiao Zhenren had definitely failed his tribulation." Fang Yu pouted.

Others shared the same feeling; Lingxiao Zhenren's sudden recovery was indeed somewhat unusual.

Shen Sanruo couldn't help but think of Bai Mumu. Could it be Bai Mumu's doing?

She had no way of knowing the truth, but it was almost a certainty that Lingxiao Zhenren would successfully break through.

"Pass down the message: tell everyone to stay within Ninghua Sect during this period as much as possible, to prevent anyone from having ill intentions."

Staying inside the Ninghua Sect, the sect's restrictions can at least protect everyone.

To avoid being used against the Flying Cloud Sect by them as leverage to threaten the Ninghua Sect.

Lingxiao Zhenren's tribulation lasted for a day and a night. At noon on the second day, dazzling golden light shot out from Feiyun Sect.

Even brighter than the sun in the sky, it proclaimed to the cultivation world that someone had broken through to the Void Refinement stage.

Many members of the Flying Cloud Sect wept with joy.

The four people, Feng Heyun, who were in different places, also showed excited smiles.

This tribulation was fraught with danger, and even the usually calm Lingxiao Zhenren was overcome with emotion after sensing the presence of that Heavenly Gate.

Passing through that heavenly gate, one can ascend to the transitional realm.

His original plan was to go directly to Ninghua Sect and bring Shen Sangruo back after he successfully broke through.

But now that Bai Mumu has sacrificed her soul to save him, he must save Bai Mumu first.

"Sect Master, how is Mu Mu?" Lingxiao Zhenren stepped into Bai Mu Mu's room.

The pressure from a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage is terrifying. Even though he tried his best to contain it, the pressure that occasionally overflowed was still suffocating.

Shen Daochen lowered his head, seemingly unwilling to see Lingxiao Zhenren, and his tone towards him was far from friendly.

"Mu Mu's soul was severely damaged, but fortunately, the Flying Cloud Sect's treasures were used up, and her condition has now stabilized."

"But I'm afraid she'll never wake up."

Shen Daochen's voice was filled with endless sorrow, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Lingxiao Zhenren scanned Bai Mumu with his divine sense, and the situation was indeed as Shen Daochen had said.

He couldn't imagine how painful it must have been for Bai Mumu to sacrifice her soul.

But before that, he had developed a grudge against her. How could he treat her like that?

With this in mind, Master Lingxiao made up his mind that he must wake her up.

He has broken through to the Void Refinement stage, so there is nothing in this world that True Person Lingxiao cannot do.

“She will not remain asleep forever. She lost her soul while saving me, so it is only right that I nurture and restore her soul.”

Lingxiao Zhenren's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

“Ling Xiao, you…” Shen Daochen finally looked up and stared at him.

Lingxiao Zhenren replied, "My mind is made up."

After saying that, he formed a hand seal and poured his spiritual power into Bai Mumu's body.

He was not proficient in the spells for nourishing his soul, and much of his soul power was wasted without any effect.

In addition, Bai Mumu's spiritual energy was depleted like a bottomless pit, which quickly exhausted his spiritual power.

If we want to continue nurturing him, we need to replenish his spirit.

Bai Mumu sacrificed most of her soul for him, so what does it matter if he wastes some of his soul?

Lingxiao Zhenren hardened his heart and forcibly tore off a part of his own soul to nourish Bai Mumu's soul.

Even though he was at the Void Refinement stage, his face turned somewhat pale after completing this series of operations.

Fortunately, Bai Mumu's depleted soul had been completely replenished by him, and finally, he injected a wisp of spiritual power into her body to awaken her.

Soon, Bai Mumu opened her eyes.

Her expression held just the right amount of confusion. "Master, Father? I'm not..."

"Lie down and rest. Once you've recovered a bit, I'll tell you what happened." Shen Daochen couldn't hide his joy.

He summoned an elder from the Medicine Pavilion whose injuries were less severe, examined her condition, and then left the room, telling her to rest.

After everyone left, Bai Mumu's slightly pale lips curled up slightly.

She didn't need them to tell her what happened; the fact that she woke up was proof that everything had gone according to plan.

Sure enough, the system's electronic voice rang in her mind the next second.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained the soul of True Immortal Lingxiao. Mission complete.]

Her mission was never to help Lingxiao Zhenren break through smoothly, but to take the opportunity to obtain Lingxiao Zhenren's soul.
