Chapter 25 Fleeting Life, Like a Dream
Just as Xi'er received Zi Wushi's soul pearl, she saw the tribulation clouds rapidly gathering on the horizon.
Big Color and Little Color conveyed a message to her: they were about to undergo the tribulation of transformation.
Previously, the two of them had shared the Purple Cloud Thunder Soul Fruit, which contained the essence of thunder tempered by the power of stars, and had also absorbed all the vitality and spiritual power of the Purple Cloud Tree, which was over 50,000 years old.
This directly pushed the levels of both the Big Color and Small Color to the ninth rank, thus ushering in the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation.
As their sworn master, Xi'er naturally wouldn't abandon Da Cai and Xiao Cai when they were undergoing their tribulations.
As a descendant of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, Xi'er was born with the ability to communicate with heaven and earth. When the Heavenly Dao of this world sensed her pure witch spirit power, the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation became much gentler.
In addition, since Da Cai and Xiao Cai absorbed the essence of thunder, they already possessed the attribute of lightning. The tribulation of lightning was not only not scary for them, but was actually a great tonic.
Then, everyone saw clusters of purple lightning strike the giant butterfly that had spread its wings and was flying into the air, emitting a dazzling light.
The butterflies were not harmed; instead, their wings flapped even more enthusiastically as they excitedly flew towards the lightning until the storm clouds completely dissipated and showers of spiritual rain fell from the sky.
Da Cai transformed into a boy of about fifteen years old with a cold expression;
Xiao Cai transformed into a spirited and dashing young woman about his age.
Xi'er exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Da Cai, you're actually a boy? I always thought you were a girl."
Da Cai's expression grew even colder. When she named him before, he had protested many times, but she insisted on giving him this name.
Stared at by his cold gaze, Xi'er finally realized belatedly that he was a boy and that the name Da Cai was indeed inappropriate.
"I'm so sorry! I'm really bad at naming things. How about you come up with a new name for me?" Xi'er said apologetically.
Xiao Cai glared at her and said, "I also want to change my name. Da Cai and Xiao Cai are such old-fashioned names!"
Seeing his sister's embarrassed state, Ah Chen quickly came to her rescue.
An ancient poem says: "Zhuangzi dreamt he transformed into a butterfly and flew away, but upon waking, he could not distinguish right from wrong. Do not say that all illusions are false, for life is but a dream, and even that becomes a tragedy."
How about we rename Da Cai to Fu Sheng, and Xiao Cai to Ruo Meng? What do you think?
Upon hearing this, both Da Cai and Xiao Cai were very satisfied and nodded in unison, saying, "Thank you for bestowing a name upon us, Young Master!"
Xi'er clapped her hands and laughed: "Brother is still the best!"
Her brother was older and more educated than her, so naturally his naming skills were superior.
Overjoyed at receiving their new names, Fusheng and Ruomeng immediately transformed into their true forms and flew around Achen and Xier several times.
This spiritual rain soaked all the demons who were close to Xi'er, and their cultivation levels increased by one to three minor levels.
The demons who benefited from this were extremely grateful.
This is the legendary Goddess Bai Xi! As expected of a messenger of the gods, both of her contracted divine butterflies are blessed by the heavens.
Even those who undergo a transformation tribulation can receive divine rain as a blessing from heaven.
As the spiritual rain fell, Achen and his group took the opportunity to absorb it to their hearts' content. This gave them confidence for at least a short period of time, and their combat strength would be greatly enhanced if they encountered danger again.
With the advancement of her contracted spirit beast, Xi'er, as its master, also reaped many benefits. Her cultivation level directly broke through from the second level of the Asking Heaven Realm to the first level of the Heavenly Passage Realm, making her an even more monstrous existence than her brother.
Upon seeing this, the high priest was even more excited, feeling even more confident in his judgment in choosing a black horse as its master.
After Xi'er took the Black Abyss Lord Zi Wushiyi as her servant, she disliked his name for being too long, so she shortened it and named him Wuyi.
“Grandpa Ling, you took such good care of him, yet he still turned around and harmed you. Calling him Wuyi is too lenient on him. Let’s just call him Wuyi, the heartless and ungrateful Wuyi,” Xi’er said.
Although Wuyi felt stifled by this name, at least she had a unique name. If the young master was happy, then so be it.
In fact, from the moment he offered up the Soul Pearl, his life and death were entirely in the hands of his young master.
Let alone giving him a shameful name, even if you made him run around naked, he wouldn't dare disobey.
Xi'er obtained a lot of Xiguang Stones from Wuyi. After absorbing them, she replenished most of the spiritual power she had previously lost.
But looking at the dark waters and the countless pitiful yellow demons struggling in agony, she softened.
Originally, I intended to help purify this area of water, but I was forced to expend my spiritual power to resist the killing formation because of Wuyi's scheme.
The killing formation has now been taken by the High Priest, who plans to refine it slowly before giving it to Xi'er for self-defense.
She decided to help purify the waters, so that at least the yellow demons here wouldn't be wiped out by the pollution within ten years.
The Black Abyss, under Wuyi's rule, is far, far larger than the small puddles that Xi'er had previously purified.
The spiritual rain brought by Fusheng and Ruomeng's tribulation was like a drop in the ocean, unable to solve the pollution problem of the Black Abyss at all.
The entire body of water covers an area of over a thousand square kilometers, which cannot be purified overnight.
Although Xi'er was eager to reach the Great Abyss Sea and reunite with her parents, the Black Abyss was still a long way from the Great Abyss Sea.
She was just passing by this time, and she didn't know when she would come back again, so she decided to purify the entire Black Abyss before continuing her journey.
Just then, Fathead Fish and Ah Chen suffered damage to their spiritual senses and were unable to recover for a while. Nie Xiaoxiao was still unconscious, and her contracted spiritual plant, Fairy, was now reduced to a small seedling.
With so many injured people, they need time to heal and recover. When Xi'er purifies the Black Abyss, the injured can take the opportunity to heal.
After her cultivation level improved, Xi'er found that her speed of purifying water areas also increased. Even so, it still took her a full twenty days to purify the more than 1,000 square kilometers of water area.
Seeing the Black Abyss transform into a clear blue ocean, Xi'er felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The entire Black Abyss has a population of over 100,000 of the Fine Demon race. Over the past twenty days, countless beams of faith have flowed into Xi'er's body every day.
With the help of Fusheng and Ruomeng, the faith power that could not be stored temporarily was refined into faith crystal beads and stored in the hollow bracelet.
Now Xi'er was full of confidence and no longer had to worry about lacking spiritual energy along the way.
When the Goddess Bai Xi departed, all the inhabitants of the Black Abyss prostrated themselves on the pure sea, respectfully and devoutly watching her leave.
Beams of faith followed the direction she left, lingering for a long time.
