really……
Qi Yu was somewhat dazed.
Demon God Qi Yan, Demon God Qi Yan, just who are you?
Seeing that Qi Yu was lost in thought, Hua Liu didn't disturb her. She gracefully picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.
After a while, Qi Yu came to her senses and asked, "Mom, what do you plan to do with these demons?"
"Hmm... let's keep them locked up for now. Anyway, they seem pretty idle. Why not keep them around for my amusement? Or maybe we can kill them and extract their demon cores?" Hua Liu said casually. "Demon cores are valuable."
Qi Yu: "..."
She desperately wanted to expose Hua Liu's system and ask it what Hua Liu had gone through all these years!
How could her gentle, kind, and affectionate mother have become so cruel?!
Qi Yu's expression was so varied that Hua Liu couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth and saying, "I was just joking. How could Mother do such a thing? Although they want to tear me to pieces, as an elder, I still have to be tolerant of them."
Qi Yu: "...You should just kill them."
Hua Liu smiled, tossing her smooth, light golden hair, and suddenly mentioned someone.
"Xiaoyu, what is the identity of the man you're with?"
"You mean Feng Xiao?" Qi Yu scratched his head, omitting the initial perilous situation, and said, "When I first transmigrated here, I met Feng Xiao. He was trapped in a place at the time, and I rescued him. After that, to repay my kindness, he has been following me ever since."
Hua Liu nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see..."
For some reason, Qi Yu felt a little embarrassed to mention the unspoken relationship between her and Feng Xiao, and asked with a dry laugh, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought he looked familiar. I guess all good-looking people have something in common." Hua Liu casually brushed off the topic and began to ask about other things related to Qi Yu's arrival in this world.
After chatting for a while, Hua Liu's expression turned slightly displeased when she heard about the tricky nature of Qi Yu's system.
"I had already spoken to the Time and Space Administration, but I didn't expect them to be so two-faced, and Xiaoyu still suffered..."
Hua Liu gently stroked Qi Yu's cheek, her pale golden eyes filled with heartache, "My little Yu, what have you been through..."
"This is nothing, I'm so happy now, Mom, I've seen you again." Qi Yu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and gave Hua Liu a loving hug. "There's no one better than Mom in the world!"
Hua Liu looked at Qi Yu and smiled with relief, "It was the system's limitation that prevented Mom from taking good care of Xiao Yu before, but now, I won't let Xiao Yu get hurt anymore."
With a flick of her slender hand, a golden willow branch, glistening with dew, appeared in her palm.
Qi Yu asked with slight surprise, "Mom, what's this?"
Hua Liu did not answer, but instead gathered golden spiritual energy in her hands, which slowly swirled around the willow branch.
Before long, the willow branch was crushed by spiritual energy and eventually formed a golden pill.
The elixir was surrounded by a magnificent and sacred golden aura, and a faint fragrance wafted to the tip of the nose.
Hua Liu placed the golden pill near Qi Yu's lips and said softly, "Xiao Yu, take this pill."
Qi Yu trusted her mother wholeheartedly and obediently opened her mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth and traveled down the throat to the dantian.
A warm feeling filled his dantian, and Qi Yu felt as if he were in a warm ocean, swaying and rising with the waves. He felt light and airy, as if he were about to fly away.
In stark contrast to her lighthearted and joyful mood, the outside world gradually changed color after she took the golden elixir.
In the sky, muffled thunder gradually rose, and thick black clouds rapidly gathered above the forbidden area of the Flying Star Sect, with flashes of deep purple lightning appearing from time to time.
The demons trapped in the willow branch cage looked up in surprise at the sky, where a storm was brewing.
"This is……"
Along the mountain path, Venerable Fisherman Song gazed into the distance at the clouds, his eyes filled with an ambiguous emotion.
Fairy Honglian was speechless. "A tribulation of lightning? The pressure is so strong, could it be a tribulation of lightning for the Nascent Soul stage?"
She is currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, and the tribulations she has experienced are far less terrifying than those in the sky.
"No..." Yun Poyue, the only Nascent Soul cultivator among the three, said solemnly, "This is definitely not just a Nascent Soul stage lightning tribulation... Ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators probably wouldn't even be able to withstand the first lightning strike and would be instantly reduced to ashes."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Red Lotus slightly parted her lips, which were painted with vermilion lipstick, and murmured, "...Could it be the Void Refinement stage? Or...the Body Integration stage?"
"When did the sect acquire such an elder?"
Nowadays, spiritual energy in the cultivation world is dwindling. Even those at the Nascent Soul stage are extremely powerful beings. Those at the Void Refining stage or the Body Integration stage are figures who can shake the cultivation world with a single stomp of their foot.
The Red Lotus Fairy counted all the elders of the Flying Star Sect, racking her brains but still couldn't guess which elder could have attracted such a massive lightning tribulation.
The Venerable Fisherman said thoughtfully, "Could it be the demon race...?"
Venerable Poyue glanced at him indifferently and said, "All the invading demon races have been captured by the Demon Emperor."
Venerable Fisherman smiled and said, "That's true. Perhaps I was overthinking it. Let's go. The sect leader has already summoned us to the council hall."
At this time, most of the elders of the Flying Star Sect had finished their patrol and arrived at the council hall.
The awe-inspiring sight above the Flying Star Sect also caught their attention.
An elder unfolded the water mirror in the council hall and projected the scene above onto it.
A few breaths later, the tribulation clouds darkened even more, resembling a dark underworld, carrying a heavy aura of death.
"This... Sect Master, is that Supreme Elder undergoing tribulation?" Fairy Nuanyan asked uncertainly, noticing the thick, inky tribulation clouds.
Sitting in the main seat, Yun Gui propped his chin up and said listlessly, "No."
"Then... does the sect leader know which senior it is? Judging from the direction, this seems to be over in the forbidden area."
Yun Gui didn't even raise an eyebrow, and said, "I don't know."
Seeing his lack of interest, Fairy Nuanyan assumed that the sect leader knew the inside story but was not comfortable saying it directly. She wisely kept her mouth shut and frowned as she guessed for herself.
Beside the main seat, Xu Canglang was also somewhat restless. As a Nascent Soul stage body cultivator, he had experienced many tribulations, but none of them were as terrifying as this one.
"Master, what level of cultivation is this lightning tribulation?"
Yun Gui yawned and said, "Probably the Tribulation Transcending Stage?"
The elders who had been listening intently were immediately shocked.
"The period of transcending tribulation??"
"Is the sect leader serious? When did the cultivation world gain another powerful figure who is about to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage?"
"It's still in our sect's forbidden area... Could it be that the Demon Emperor is about to undergo tribulation?"
Yun Gui chuckled and said, "The Demon Emperor has already broken through the Tribulation Transcending stage. She is only one step away from shattering the void and ascending to immortality, but she is unwilling."
Those who guessed it was the Demon Emperor undergoing tribulation immediately blushed and shut their mouths, realizing how ridiculous their words were.
The Demon Emperor Hua Liu, the first immortal tree at the beginning of the world, was inherently blessed by heaven and favored by the Heavenly Dao.
Although it is unknown why she became the queen of the demon race, her strength is undeniable.
That……
Whose tribulation is this?
