At the summit of the main peak of the Yingyue Sect, beneath the Lingpu Tree.
With his eyes closed, You Rongxuanqing stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the direction of Tianfeng Pavilion, lost in thought.
"Mingxia, did we make a mistake in our strategy?"
You Rong Xuanqing suddenly spoke up, asking You Rong Mingxia who was standing to the side.
"What do you mean by that, sister?"
Rong Mingxia looked slightly puzzled.
Do you think Qingyan and her team can succeed?
You Rongxuanqing asked again.
This question made Rong Mingxia think. After a long while, she replied somewhat uncertainly, "I think... there should be hope."
"But I see no hope."
You Rongxuanqing's voice was slightly low, "Given Chi Yuan's attitude towards them, even if they were given another ten years, they would still not be able to become Chi Yuan's women."
Rong Mingxia frowned slightly and said, "But based on my probing, if he fails to kill Ye Chen within five years, he will most likely accept one of them."
Can you guarantee this?
You Rongxuanqing countered with a question, then continued, "Furthermore, it's not that he can't kill Ye Chen. If he kills Ye Chen before taking any of our clan's women, wouldn't that be in our clan's best interest?"
After a moment of silence, Rong Mingxia tentatively asked, "Does Sister mean we should make contingency plans like we did at the beginning?"
You Rongxuanqing slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "What I proposed is a strategy, not a plan. Chi Yuan's potential far surpasses Ye Chen's, and he is hiding a great secret that is as unfathomable as Emperor Ruyan's. Our clan must abandon Ye Chen and support him, otherwise it may bring about the destruction of our clan."
You Rong Mingxia remained noncommittal, staring intently at You Rong Xuanqing and asked, "Sister, do you already have a strategy?"
"Yes, but the price is very high."
You Rongxuanqing sighed softly, his words revealing a resolute intent: "No matter how heavy the price, we are willing to pay it for the future of our clan! Our clan must not entrust our fate to Chi Yuan's will. Since we have chosen him, we cannot tolerate any mistakes!"
...
Crack!
Boom!
Within the thick thunderclouds, countless crimson lightning bolts roamed and collided, resembling a volcano about to erupt, ready to unleash a cataclysmic lightning strike.
Suddenly, atop a high peak, a crystal-clear, shimmering glass lotus rose from the summit.
This precious lotus was enormous; even from several miles away, it appeared to the people in Tianfeng Pavilion Square to be the size of a fingernail. Its radiant light enveloped an area of hundreds of feet in radius, vaguely forming an enlarged version of an illusory lotus flower, shimmering with light and exquisite beauty.
"This is Junior Sister An's Crystal Lotus!"
Many elders recognized the lotus flower at a glance, and some exclaimed in amazement.
Chi Yuan's gaze also shifted to the Glazed Lotus. There was not much worry in his eyes. With Feng Yaoyao and Yu Ling Shuang protecting her nearby, An Yuxi would not be in any danger during this tribulation.
Compared to the danger, he was more concerned about whether An Yuxi could successfully temper her imperial nature with the tribulation lightning and allow it to continue to grow. If she succeeded, it would undoubtedly be another opportunity for An Yuxi.
Crack!
As soon as the crystal lotus rose into the sky, it was as if a basin of water had been poured into a boiling oil pan. The thunderclouds above immediately boiled and became violent. More than ten thousand crimson lightning bolts burst out from the thunderclouds, roaring and howling above the lotus like pythons and dragons, their voices comparable to those of ghosts and gods, and their power spreading for thousands of miles.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of crimson lightning crashed down from the thunderclouds, bombarding the crystal lotus with devastating force.
Then, a colorful barrier radiating precious light appeared on the crystal lotus. The dense lightning struck the barrier's light screen, only splashing out ripples like water before disappearing without a trace.
These tribulation lightning bolts, imbued with immense divine power, did not vanish into thin air. Instead, they passed through the colored barrier and entered the area. However, since the power of most of the tribulation lightning bolts was dissipated by the colored barrier, only a small portion of the lightning bolts that passed through the barrier remained, rendering them incapable of posing a threat to An Yuxi.
Not only did these tribulation lightning bolts pose no threat to An Yuxi, but An Yuxi also used them to temper her imperial nature.
On the lotus platform at the center of the Glazed Lotus, An Yuxi, dressed in purple spirit armor, sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Above her head floated a fist-sized golden ball of light, which was the embodiment of her imperial nature.
boom!
Pfft!
The first weakened lightning bolt, guided by An Yuxi, struck the imperial light orb, and was immediately swallowed up by it like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"It really worked!"
Sensing a slight growth in her imperial nature, An Yuxi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. It is said that heavenly tribulations can temper all things, and this is indeed true. She wondered how much her imperial nature would grow after she survived this Spirit Venerable Tribulation.
An Yuxi was greatly encouraged and immediately and patiently guided bolts of tribulation lightning into the imperial light cluster.
Splash—
Under the tempering of countless tribulation lightning bolts, the imperial light cluster rapidly solidified and grew stronger. At the same time, a vast amount of spiritual power flowed back from the imperial light cluster, like a surging river, forming a spiritual power tide around An Yuxi.
An Yuxi had already pushed her cultivation technique to its limit, using the "Rainbow Swallowing Whale" technique to continuously draw spiritual energy from her body into her dantian for refinement and transformation into her own cultivation.
The deafening thunder still roared.
Seemingly realizing that it could not do anything to An Yuxi, the scattered tribulation lightning gradually decreased. After a moment of silence, bolts of lightning, hundreds of times thicker than before, shot down from the thunderclouds, pounding the imposing Glazed Lotus and causing it to tremble violently. The colorful barrier also began to show cracks like broken glass.
An Yuxi felt a bit of pressure, but fortunately she could barely hold on. She let the tribulation lightning strike the imperial light ball, focusing wholeheartedly on absorbing the spiritual energy around her to improve her cultivation.
