Chapter 114 The Mysterious Heavenly Tribulation
Bo Yiyan's awakened Devouring ability was already incredibly powerful, and with the addition of a contract with a mutated plant called Ghost Entangling Vine that could also devour life force, this combination was something that Heaven could not tolerate.
However, Bo Yiyan had previously worked with Panda to formulate information interferon, and later created bionic mechanical eggs that could modify the genes of the Zerg, which can be considered as making a great contribution to the survival of this world.
Therefore, the heavenly tribulation that Bo Yiyan encountered seemed extremely strange.
Thunder can be swift and violent, carrying the force of destruction; at other times it becomes gentle, like a soft breeze and drizzle.
Such a heavenly tribulation completely stunned the onlookers, even Sang Yuebai and Ye Tanji had never heard of it before.
“Brother Ye Tan, this person’s heavenly tribulation is quite strange. Don’t you have any reasonable guesses?” Sang Yuebai said.
"The will of Heaven has its own way, how can others fathom it? Haven't you ever heard the phrase—'The will of Heaven is unpredictable'!" Ye Tanji said with a profound and inscrutable expression.
In reality, he genuinely couldn't guess!
"Alright! In any case, I always feel that the people around Xi'er are all extraordinary."
For example, the four people who came with her this time, Fellow Daoist Bo, are already quite extraordinary.
And then there's Panda and Chestnut. Their auras are clearly those of mechanical puppets, yet they are different from ordinary artifact spirits.
Their bodies appeared to be a fusion of machinery and flesh.
Moreover, their behavior is almost indistinguishable from that of humans, and even their emotions are similar to those of humans.
Oh, and there's also that shapeshifting monster, Xiao Bao, who can manipulate all metals at will and conjure metal objects at will.
I think if he became a weapon refiner, he could probably surpass all other weapon refiners in the world.
Sang Yuebai kept rambling on beside him, and Ye Tanji, after listening to his words, also had some guesses in his mind.
His reincarnation as Xi'er naturally had many helpful people around him.
They would appear around her in different guises. Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps she herself was like a little sun, able to attract people to her and encourage them to help her.
Bo Yiyan felt that he probably wouldn't make it through. Whenever the lightning struck him hard, it would become gentle, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Xi'er, who was watching him undergo his tribulation, was already crying with tears in her eyes.
She was filled with regret. If she had known that Uncle Bo's tribulation would be so brutal, she should have returned the life-saving pill he had given her beforehand.
Now, thunder is rolling down, completely locking him in and cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Even if she wanted to hand him the life-saving pill, she wouldn't have the chance.
The Vitality Pill that Bo Yiyan refined for her was far more effective than the Heavenly Pivot Life-Sustaining Dew that he gave to Sang Yuebai.
Although he was quite generous to Sang Yuebai, it paled in comparison to his own precious Xi'er.
Bo Yiyan was slashed so hard that his whole body was charred black, and his once smooth, shiny black hair was now a mess of frizzy curls, making him look utterly miserable.
During a gentle pause in the thunder, he looked through the light screen and saw Xi'er's face covered in tears.
He forced a smile and comforted her, saying, "My dear Xi'er, don't cry! The harder the lightning strikes, the stronger your body will become. I'm just taking advantage of the heavens!"
"Waaah! You're practically chopped to a crisp, and you can still laugh!" Xi'er said, feeling sorry for him.
No sooner had Bo Yiyan finished speaking than another bolt of lightning struck down fiercely. This bolt was exceptionally ruthless, as if the heavens had heard his words and were deliberately punishing him.
The advantage is that Bo Yiyan is born with the wood element, which inherently possesses the continuous vitality of a plant.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's a cat with nine lives. Every time he's struck and left on the verge of death, he struggles back to life after a short while.
This bizarre heavenly tribulation lasted for more than an hour, and Xi'er's tears were almost all gone.
At times like these, she especially misses home, her mom and dad, her brother Achen, her godmother and godfather, and her high priest, Grandpa Ling.
At this moment, Hongyuan transformed into a little kitten, constantly patting the back of her hand with his little paws, and then imitating a house cat, trying to stick out his tongue to lick her face.
Then he discovered that his tongue had suddenly frozen, stuck between his upper and lower teeth, unable to extend or retract, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Not only that, he found himself unable to speak.
He let out howling noises, trying to get Xi'er's attention, but Xi'er's attention was completely drawn to Bo Yiyan, who was undergoing tribulation, and she couldn't notice anything else.
Standing not far from Xi'er, Sang Yuebai smiled smugly and transmitted his voice to Ye Tanji:
"Brother Ye Tan, no need to thank me too much! That cunning little beast cub just now tried to kiss Xi'er, but I used magic to freeze its tongue!"
"Although your move is a bit childish, it suits my taste perfectly! I'll give you that cloud-piercing boot you took a fancy to last time," Ye Tanji said expressionlessly.
Those Cloud Piercing Boots were made using the inner core of an eighth-order Lightning Eagle and the fur of a ninth-order Wind-Treading Leopard. They were light, comfortable, beautiful, and stylish to wear, making you feel like you were walking on air.
Most importantly, after injecting a small amount of spiritual energy, the walking speed is comparable to the speed of flying on a sword.
Sang Yuebai had been eyeing these cloud-piercing boots for a long time, and had asked Ye Tanji for them several times, but he refused to give them to her.
I didn't expect you to give it to me so readily.
Sang Yuebai secretly clicked his tongue in amazement: The old iron tree blooming was indeed extraordinary; he had only helped him with such a small favor, yet he had received such a huge benefit.
In fact, he disliked Hongyuan from the first time he met him.
What a cunning little devil! He deliberately transformed into this form so that he could cling to her shoulder every day, knowing that little girls love fluffy kittens.
Bo Yiyan's tribulation of heavenly lightning finally ended, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky—it was actually green spiritual rain!
In the city lord's mansion, a destroyed garden is now flourishing with vegetation and flowers under the nourishment of this green spiritual rain.
Bo Yiyan took the opportunity to beckon Xi'er to his side so she could rub against the green spiritual rain.
Xunri and Poxiao shamelessly came over to freeload, while Yetanji and Sang Yuebai were too embarrassed to do so.
However, since they were originally standing next to Xi'er and were relatively close to Bo Yiyan's tribulation range, they also got some of the green spiritual rain.
As a result, the one who benefited the most from this spiritual rain was Hong Yuan. His magical power, which had been slow to fully recover due to his injury, was completely restored during this spiritual rain.
Like Hong Yuan, Xi'er's three contracted servants also benefited greatly—the Purple Demon Wujin, Wuyi, and Qilu of the Ximo Clan.
They had suffered severe injuries and remained in a deep sleep, but after being baptized by this spiritual rain, they have miraculously awakened.
Fusheng and Ruomeng, who were also asleep, have also woken up.
It turns out that Bo Yiyan's special ability is to devour the life force of all things, but at the same time he can also extract his own life force to save people.
After his tribulation, the green spiritual rain falling from the sky was full of vitality and had a miraculous effect on healing hidden injuries.
Sang Yuebai looked at the five creatures that had suddenly appeared beside Xi'er, then looked at Ye Tanji with a sympathetic expression:
Good luck, buddy!
Originally there was only one cunning beast cub, but now there are three contracted purple demons, plus two iridescent holy butterflies.
Moreover, judging from their expressions, they all seemed determined to protect Xi'er as if she were a precious treasure, and would never allow any outsider to steal their little cabbage!
Ye Tanji remained expressionless, only saying to Xi'er indifferently, "The contracted beasts and contracted plants around you are too weak. Instead, they need you, as their master, to protect them."
Later, I can send them to the Trial Tower of Night Pool Palace to improve their combat strength.
"Really? That's wonderful! I thank the Palace Master on their behalf!" Xi'er exclaimed with delight.
The five animals that had just woken up all looked at her with resentment: "Master is so heartless. They have just woken up and you want to send them into the Trial Tower."
However, considering that they are not good at fighting, it would be worth it to go into the Trial Tower and suffer some hardships for their master, as long as they can improve their combat power.
Seeing that his old friend had so easily resolved the obstacle around Xi'er, Sang Yuebai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
It has to be Brother Ye Tan! He seems detached from worldly desires and indifferent to worldly affairs, but in reality, he's a master of palace intrigue and family feuds!
