Two hundred years later.

Nascent Soul, transcending tribulation, and becoming a god.

When the thunder tribulation of the Spirit Transformation Stage fell, Xuan Xiao's eyes were filled with madness.

Thunder continued to roll in the dark clouds, and huge thunder echoed throughout the valley.

There was a loud "boom" and a flash of lightning passed by, illuminating the mountain of bones behind the valley.

Zhao Yanran stood calmly in the magic circle set up for her by Xuan Xiao, waiting for the first heavenly thunder to fall.

"boom!"

There seemed to be a flash of golden light in the clouds, and a huge golden thunderbolt struck straight down. Zhao Yanran strolled leisurely in the garden, as if she didn't take the thunderbolt seriously at all.

Sure enough, just before the golden thunder was about to strike Zhao Yanran, a black figure blocked Zhao Yanran in time.

Xuan Xiao took out his natal sword, and with just one sword he completely removed the power of the thunderbolt. In the end, only an empty sound was left, and it fell lightly on Zhao Yanran's head.

So many years have passed. His soul was destroyed and his cultivation almost fell to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation. Thanks to the heart of a mermaid named A Yuan, not only was his cultivation stabilized at the late stage of the Incarnation, but there was even a tendency for him to break through.

It was a pity that when he went to the Eastern Waters again later, the mermaids there seemed to have learned the news in advance and guarded the Eastern Waters and Dragon Island tightly. Not only did he not gain anything, but he was almost left in the Eastern Waters by the old mermaid.

But fortunately, Zhao Yanran did not let him down.

Xuan Xiao looked greedily at the ray of light appearing above the clouds, as if that was not Zhao Yanran's thunder tribulation, but his path to ascension.

Zhao Yanran yawned and leaned lazily aside, watching Xuan Xiao fight desperately for her thunder tribulation.

The system thought that this mission would definitely not be completed, but who would have thought that in just two hundred years, she was so embarrassed and infamously driven out of Qingyun Sect together with Xuanxiao, but now with the help of Xuanxiao, she is only one step away from completing the mission.

"It seems that I still need to find someone with thicker thighs to hug."

The system nodded, reaching a consensus with Zhao Yanran for the first time.

"Master Xuan Xiao's current favorability is 89 points. It is expected that the favorability will rise to 90 points after the host survives the thunder tribulation."

After the system finished speaking, a small piece of red rope fell into Zhao Yanran's hands unknowingly. The red rope was only two or three inches long, with a light purple rice bead hanging at the end.

"Host, you should know what to do when the time comes, right?"

Zhao Yanran held the red rope in her palm and looked up at Xuan Xiao. Each thunder tribulation of the Spiritual Transformation Stage contained a tremendous force, not to mention that sometimes two or three thunder tribulations would fall at the same time. Even though Xuan Xiao was already in the late Incarnation Stage, he still found it somewhat awkward to deal with them.

Watching the white sword light shuttle through the thunder and lightning, Zhao Yanran slightly curled her lips.

"certainly."

The last bolt of thunder fell, as if foreshadowing the end of everything. The dark clouds gathering on the horizon gradually dissipated. Xuan Xiao, with blood on the corners of his clothes, leaned on his sword, panting.

Zhao Yanran trotted forward and said, "Master, are you okay? It's all because of Yanran's uselessness that she couldn't even survive the thunder tribulation, causing Master to be injured."

Xuan Xiao panted heavily, not caring about the scars on his body. Instead, he grabbed Zhao Yanran's shoulders excitedly: "How do you feel now? Has your internal state improved?"

Zhao Yanran nodded, and the huge Fatianxiangdi appeared faintly behind her.

Xuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly fell to the ground and burst into laughter. Only those who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage could use the Law of Heaven and Earth. It would be soon, and she would be able to use it for herself.

"Ding~ The favorability of the capture target Xuan Xiao has increased by three points. The current favorability is 92 points. The host will be rewarded with 100,000 points."

As the system's announcement sounded, Zhao Yanran leaned down, holding the red rope and gently swung it in front of Xuan Xiao.

When Xuan Xiao saw the rice bead, his face changed drastically and he tried to move quickly, but his whole body seemed to be imprisoned and he could not move at all.

"Zhao Yanran! I am your master! How dare you do this to me!"

"What is there to be afraid of? Master, have you forgotten? When you knew that I was practicing this technique, you personally went to find a lot of 'food' for me!"

"I'm already in the Spiritual Transformation Stage now. Master, didn't you help me survive the thunder tribulation? Can't you help Yanran as well?"

Zhao Yanran said these words in a coquettish tone, but Xuan Xiao felt horrified.

When he first learned that Zhao Yanran possessed a technique that could absorb the cultivation of others, he only wanted to improve Zhao Yanran's cultivation and never thought that this technique would be used on himself one day.

Xuan Xiao looked at the rice bead getting closer and closer to him in fear, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

He tried his best to escape, but he was unable to break the seal.

He watched the rice beads fall on his face, and the spiritual power ran wildly in his body. Finally, as if it had found an outlet, it gushed out from his dantian and all poured into Zhao Yanran's body.

Finished.

His plan.

His two hundred years of hard work.

His path to ascension.

It's all ruined.

Xuan Xiao closed his eyes in despair and stopped struggling.

Zhao Yanran sat cross-legged beside Xuan Xiao, feeling her physical and spiritual power rising continuously, and finally barely stopping at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Zhao Yanran frowned, stood up and kicked Xuan Xiao, who had a head full of white hair and looked haggard.

"Isn't Xuan Xiao about to break through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation and reach the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation? How come I just reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation after I absorbed him?"

"Host, this system has reminded you at the beginning that this technique has very serious wear and tear. The reason why the host can reach the late stage of incarnation now is also due to Xuan Xiao's profound cultivation."

"Alright, alright, got it, stop talking nonsense, just tell me how many people I need to absorb in order to ascend!"

Zhao Yanran raised her hand slightly, and Xuan Xiao's body suddenly flew into the air, and then fell heavily on the pile of bones behind the valley.

"Twenty Yuanying stage cultivators, five Tribulation stage cultivators, and if it's the Spiritualization stage, one is enough."

"OK."

"I've been hiding in this barren valley for more than two hundred years. It's time for me to get out and take a look around."

Zhao Yanran played with the Soul-Guiding Sword awarded by the system and slowly walked out of the valley.

…

“Boom!”

A heavy and long bell sounded, and Sheng He slowly opened his eyes.

This is the ancient bell in the back mountain. It will only be rung when foreign enemies invade. Sheng He frowned slightly, and his spiritual sense instantly extended to the entire Qingyun Sect.

Countless monsters emerged from nowhere, slaughtering Qingyun Sect disciples everywhere. The Elder Hall was surrounded by dozens of high-level monsters.

The sounds of fighting and shouting overlapped in the Qingyun Sect, creating a bloody scene.

Sheng He subconsciously looked for Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan, and was slightly relieved when he saw them with his master and uncle Jinglan.

Suddenly, Sheng He felt an extremely dangerous force approaching, it was... the mountain protection formation!

Sheng He's eyebrows moved slightly, and the next moment, she appeared in the back mountain.

It turned out that there was a problem with the mountain protection formation.
