After the devastating earthquake that shook the world, the global landscape underwent a dramatic transformation.
Apart from China, the other countries disintegrated one after another. The survivors struggled in a new world, eventually coming together to survive and forming federal organizations in various regions.
The Eternal Night Forest within the Eurasian Federation has recently attracted the attention of the Chinese government.
Since the spiritual energy of Earth revived, this mysterious forest has undergone strange changes. It seems to be shrouded in a dark curse, devoid of warm daylight; sunlight appears to be forever swallowed by the endless night. Only the cold moonlight and sparse stars twinkle in the treetops, adding to the forest's mystery and eeriness.
A few days ago, the authorities received a request for help from the Eurasian Federation, saying that the Eternal Night Forest was showing signs of expansion. Therefore, they dispatched Jiang Shaojie to lead a team to the Eternal Night Forest to conduct an investigation.
However, what is worrying is that after Jiang Shaojie and his group entered the forest, they lost all contact with each other.
"Old Yan, let me go! I will definitely bring my brother and the others back safely!" Jiang Qinian stepped forward and patted her chest to make a promise.
In the temporary meeting room of the Xiaoyao Sect, people were seated on both sides of a mahogany square table; they were all peak masters from various peaks.
The atmosphere inside the room was heavy, and everyone looked serious.
Yan Ziyan sat at the upper left, his left hand habitually tapping the table, making a soft "tap tap tap" sound.
Then, he turned to Lin Weiguo beside him and asked, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"
“The authorities have clearly ordered the Xuanmen sect to take charge of this investigation, but the sect leader is currently in seclusion and cannot leave. In that case, it would be better to send the second-in-command of the Xuanmen sect on this trip, with young Jiang assisting him.” Lin Weiguo said solemnly, his brows slightly furrowed.
He feared that Jiang Qinian might act impulsively if she led the team.
All the peak masters present nodded in agreement. Then, Yan Ziyan solemnly instructed Jiang Shaojie on the precautions for his trip and told him to go with the people from the Xuanmen.
A month later, Jiang Wanwan faced the crucial moment of undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
On the barren mountain, the sky was instantly shrouded in thick, dark clouds, as black as ink, and a fierce wind howled, whipping up clouds of dust.
Standing amidst the raging storm, Jiang Wanwan's expression was solemn, yet her eyes revealed a resolute determination.
When the first lightning tribulation roared in, the thunder seemed capable of shattering mountains and rivers, and the entire world trembled in the deafening roar.
However, when the lightning actually struck Jiang Wanwan, it seemed to be weakened by some mysterious force, its power just enough to help her temper her body, bringing intense pain without causing her serious injury.
Jiang Wanwan felt her muscles twitch slightly from the electric current, but at the same time she could clearly feel her body becoming more and more resilient under the tempering of this power.
Immediately afterwards, the second lightning bolt struck down with even greater ferocity, the thunder rumbling like a thousand horses galloping past.
However, when it struck Jiang Wanwan, the force was still just right. Her clothes were torn and charred by the impact of the lightning, and her skin became red and swollen. But her meridians were widened with each impact, and her bones became stronger.
One lightning bolt after another struck, the thunder growing ever more terrifying, yet it maintained a delicate balance on Jiang Wanwan's body, aiding her in her physical refinement.
Old Xia stood not far away, nodding repeatedly, his face full of smiles, and said, "Not bad! Not bad! That kid Xiao Guang is really capable!"
The disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, holding basins, nodded in agreement, their expressions relaxed, and said, "This is a normal tribulation. The last time the Divine Dragon underwent tribulation was probably just an accident."
Bai Luo stood to the side, an incredulous expression on his face, and asked, "Your sect leader transcended the tribulation so easily, without preparing any magical treasures?"
He secretly thought to himself: "Sect Leader Jiang truly deserves to be the darling of Heaven. It seems I must cultivate a good relationship with the Free and Unfettered Sect in the future."
Finally, after undergoing the tribulation of lightning, Jiang Wanwan successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm.
At that moment, she shone brightly, her dazzling spiritual light bursting forth like brilliant fireworks, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Her entire aura underwent a qualitative transformation, as if she had been reborn, exuding an extraordinary and refined temperament.
Jiang Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, a sharp light flashing within them, a relieved and satisfied smile on her face. She felt the surging power of her nascent soul within her, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for her future cultivation path.
Soon, the spiritual rain began to fall again. The rain was dense and continuous, like silk threads, and it continued for more than an hour.
Bai Luo was shocked once again. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and he sighed inwardly:
Is this heavenly dew so easily bestowed upon you? Is this Sect Leader Jiang perhaps the favored daughter of Heaven?
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan had stabilized her cultivation, Yan Ziyan couldn't wait to step forward, grab her, and eagerly looked her up and down.
"Senior brother, I'm fine. I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage!"
Jiang Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling and her lips curving upwards. Her radiant smile was as bright and captivating as the warm spring sun, and her eyes sparkled with joy and pride.
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was safe and sound, Yan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "Wanwan, congratulations! Look at how fast you've improved, I'm going to start chasing after you again!"
His face radiated a warm, sunny smile, and his eyes were filled with endless doting affection and unwavering determination.
"No rush! No rush! I'll protect you from now on!"
Jiang Wanwan took Yan Ziyan's hand and walked towards her family. At the same time, she knew that with Yan Ziyan's talent, if he hadn't been helping her with the internal affairs of the Xiaoyao Sect, his cultivation would have improved long ago!
Yan Ziyan felt a sweet warmth in his heart as he listened to Jiang Wanwan's words.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad, you're all here!"
Because of their cultivation, Jiang Yuan and Tian Dahua looked increasingly younger and were full of energy.
"Oh my! Xiao Wan, your grandfather and I just came out of seclusion and ran into your tribulation. What a coincidence!" Tian Dahua was overjoyed and grabbed Jiang Wanwan's hand. Her eyes seemed to look at her precious granddaughter with endless delight.
Jiang Wanwan then noticed that her grandparents' cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and they were about to establish their foundation. Looking at her own father and mother, she saw that they had no spiritual roots, and their body refinement had reached a bottleneck, still hovering at the Grandmaster level.
It seems I still need to find the Talent Fruit so that my parents can have an easier time cultivating.
"Grandpa and Grandma! Mom and Dad! Let's go, let's invite Uncle and Aunt to the Jiang family's courtyard for a get-together and have a good celebration!"
"Young Yan, come along too!" Tian Dahua looked at Yan Ziyan standing next to Jiang Wanwan with the eyes of someone looking at a grandson-in-law.
Yan Ziyan nodded hurriedly and said with a smile, "Of course, Grandma, it's my honor to celebrate with everyone."
The group walked briskly toward the Jiang family's courtyard.
