Moreover, Ji Fengyao felt that she could withstand this level of tribulation lightning.

Because there are very few alchemists, and even fewer high-level alchemists, most cultivators, including alchemists, are unaware that the tribulation lightning targeting pills may seem no different from ordinary tribulation lightning, but if one survives the tribulation lightning targeting pills, it can actually be very beneficial to both the pills themselves and the cultivator.

Unlike cultivators, most pills lack sentience, and the destructive intent in tribulation lightning is not as strong as that of tribulation lightning for spiritual cultivators.

Rather than a calamity for the elixir, it is more of an opportunity for the alchemist to "refine" it.

When the elixir was first formed, the pill body was not yet stable and was very fragile, so Ji Fengyao dared not take the risk.

But after the six tribulations of lightning, she had already used extreme fire to completely stabilize her core body.

If the mountain-protecting formation manages to withstand the last three tribulation lightning bolts, it will be a loss for both her and the pill!

With one hand holding the Soul-Returning Pill and the other hand taking out the Sect Master's Token and raising it above her head, Ji Fengyao quickly approached the dome of the mountain-protecting formation.

What is she going to do?!

"Stop her!"

"They're both crazy! This master and apprentice are both crazy!"

Elders Jiang Dailuo, Qingluo, Xuanming, and Wu Tianjun were frantic. They rushed forward for a distance but dared not enter the tribulation area rashly. Otherwise, if the heavenly tribulation sensed their presence, it would include them and bring down even heavier punishments, which would be terrible!

The disciples of the Pill Sect below were also dumbfounded:

"What is the acting sect leader trying to do?"

"She proactively activated the mountain-protecting formation to meet the tribulation lightning!"

"Although this is suicidal, my god, the acting sect leader is so cool!"

Song Chengzhou, Jinse, and the other disciples of the main peak were terrified, inwardly cursing and complaining, yet still having to ensure the safety of the disciples inside the sect. Each of them shouted with fury:

"Scatter! Scatter, all of you!"

"Back off!"

"Are you all tired of living? If you want to die, don't stay here, go up and take the fall for the acting sect leader!"

Ji Fengyao activated the mountain-protecting formation and put away the sect leader's token and the Heaven-Covering Stone on her body.

She carried the Soul-Returning Pill and soared straight up into the tribulation clouds above the nine heavens.

Above the tribulation clouds, the Heavenly Tribulation Baby lazily rolled over.

Last time on the Origin Continent, he was too exhausted. Fortunately, after returning to the Danling Continent and merging with the split body of this plane, he recovered a lot, but he was still somewhat lacking in energy and spirit. He was too lazy to even do Shang Xiye's daily chop, and went back to sleep every day.

When this thunderbolt struck, he merely waved his hand absentmindedly, as if in a daze, and didn't take it seriously.

But just as it was about to end, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he had caught a familiar scent.

I rolled over and lay face down to look down:

Holy crap! It's the sect ancestor undergoing the Dan tribulation!

This baby needs to get up and work properly, otherwise he'll be accused of "passive slacking off" and his little bottom will be in big trouble!

"Boom boom boom boom—"

A series of dense, muffled thunderclaps rolled through the clouds, their immense force startling Ji Fengyao.

Why does it suddenly feel like the intensity of this tribulation lightning has increased tenfold?

This is only an eleventh-grade Dan Lei!

Do you think it's appropriate to act like you're going through an ascension tribulation?

Ji Fengyao held the Resurrection Pill, looking completely bewildered. Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know whether she should return to the Pill Sect to activate the mountain-protecting formation or take out the Sky-Covering Stone to divert the tribulation lightning elsewhere, so as not to waste the Pill Sect's resources for activating the formation.

The four elders below were truly on the verge of tears upon seeing this.
