Before this terrifying heavenly lightning strike, Shi Xuan was on high alert, doing everything she could to prepare. During that dreadful period of silence, as the tribulation clouds brewed the most terrifying heavenly lightning, Shi Xuan adjusted herself to be in peak condition.
Finally, the bolt of lightning struck.
Shi Xuan was standing, but the moment the lightning struck, he was sent flying.
The terrifying lightning seemed to be adding all the parts that Shi Xuan had disrupted his rhythm from before, refusing to suffer any loss, and struck Shi Xuan until he was charred black. After Shi Xuan landed, he remained motionless for a long time.
Hong Chi's soul floated out and nervously approached Shi Xuan to check on her condition.
Just now, at the moment the last bolt of heavenly lightning struck Shi Xuan, Hong Chi separated a wisp of his divine consciousness to protect Shi Xuan's heart meridian.
To be honest, Hong Chi has always believed that he should bear his own tribulation, and those who are not capable of overcoming it should be eliminated.
But now that things have developed to this point, and seeing this extraordinary lightning strike, she hesitated.
She was also afraid that Shi Xuan wouldn't be able to withstand this final blow and that something else might happen. In that case, all her efforts of self-destruction and making a contract would have been for nothing!
So at the last moment, she still stepped in to help. This was no easy feat for her soul form; after protecting Shi Xuan, she felt even more transparent.
Everything returned to calm, and Shi Xuan herself appeared very calm, simply because she had completely fainted and was no longer aware of anything around her.
Jieyun seemed unwilling to give up, but all one hundred bolts of heavenly lightning had already struck. For him, the mission was complete and he could not continue.
However, the man was already lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, which brought some relief to Jieyun. This was the consequence of defying the tribulation lightning!
The heavy dark clouds reluctantly dispersed. Although Shi Xuan was unconscious, she did not appear to be in any immediate danger.
All things in nature operate on their own, and the spiritual energy in the cracks surges into her body. If you look closely, you can also see the occasional flashes of electricity on her skin.
Hong Chi observed her closely for a long time and discovered that although she was seriously injured, her recovery speed was astonishing. Her body seemed to have an automatic recovery mechanism that could automatically repair itself under any circumstances, including the injuries she suffered from her spiritual energy in the independent space, which were ultimately repaired by herself in the same way.
At this point, Hong Chi felt relieved.
As long as she's alive, it won't stop her from going out to play.
Now you just have to wait.
Gradually, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky regained its brightness.
Then, a seven-colored light descended from the sky and struck Shi Xuan directly. In the area where Shi Xuan was, the seven-colored light carried a hint of warmth, bringing boundless vitality to Shi Xuan as it shone upon him.
It's a golden light after the disaster!
But shouldn't the golden light after the calamity be golden? Hong Chi was increasingly confused. In the ten thousand years that she was sealed in an independent space, what terrible changes had the cultivation world undergone that even the golden light after the calamity had changed color!
The falling seven-colored light allowed Shi Xuan's internal injuries to heal faster, and his newly advanced Nascent Soul stage cultivation also became more stable under the light.
This is the Heavenly reward after the tribulation, naturally carrying a great deal of goodwill and benefits for those who have undergone the tribulation.
Hong Chi also tried to bask in the seven-colored spiritual light. The light didn't have a significant effect on her, but she had never seen such a seven-colored golden light after a calamity before, so she figured it would be a waste to have more.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in the valley had become much thinner, and the fire spiritual energy, which was about to condense into liquid, had changed into a slightly denser spiritual energy state.
And it was still flowing into her body.
The vortex of spiritual energy that had formed during her tribulation did not disappear even after she fell unconscious, a spectacle that Hong Chi found quite novel.
To her even greater surprise, while Shi Xuan was unconscious, her aura suddenly changed, the vortex expanded, and she advanced to the next level while still unconscious!
What a weirdo this little girl is!
A person who can automatically advance in a coma, a person who can withstand a hundred heavenly lightning strikes during a Nascent Soul tribulation, a person who can walk to her side despite the boiling river of spiritual energy after her self-destruction, a person who can make the Heavenly Dao send down seven-colored golden light after the tribulation—any one of these achievements is astonishing.
From this perspective, the guide she chose is quite capable.
Aside from the slow progression speed, everything else is pretty good.
Hong Chi didn't know how to describe someone who could only advance two ranks after contracting with a divine dragon soul like her and refining the dragon bones.
Surprisingly, even someone as slow as him, after being struck by lightning and rendered unconscious, was able to advance in his cultivation level without even realizing it...
So whether she was fast or slow, Hong Chi was a little unsure.
Shi Xuan was unconscious for a day and a night before slowly waking up. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had advanced to the next level and frowned somewhat unwillingly.
She took out a handful of pills and swallowed them, then circulated her spiritual energy throughout her body, finally regaining some strength. She sat up, looked around, and, recalling the terrifying Nascent Soul tribulation, let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hmph, weak humans." A hoarse and contemptuous voice came from Hong Chi.
Shi Xuan looked in Hong Chi's direction, smiled at her very good-naturedly, revealing her signature dimples, and replied, "I am very grateful for the danger of this tribulation, senior!"
"Hmph." Hong Chi responded with a cold snort: "Are you done yet? If you are, hurry up and leave!"
After Hong Chi finished speaking, she returned to her dragon bone, and it was clear that she was very anxious.
Shi Xuan didn't rush out; her injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
While recovering from his injuries, Shi Xuan took out his weapon-refining furnace and forged a long golden chain for the dragon bone that Hong Chi had taken refuge in. He then secured the dragon bone and hung it around his neck.
The gold and red colors look very gorgeous, like wearing a bright and beautiful ornament.
This is more convenient, and you won't have to worry about where to put it in the future.
"If you don't want to stay here, senior, I have another space with a few companions and a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood where you can live."
As Shi Xuan spoke, he led Hong Chi into the main courtyard of Yinshuang.
This courtyard is now the gathering place for Shi Xuan's spirit pets. There are two three-legged golden crows, Jin Dada and Jin Duoduo, a phantom oriole named Zhaocai, and a Taotie red-haired beast.
The courtyard is rich in spiritual energy and contains some very rare spiritual plants, such as the Enlightenment Tree.
Hong Chi strolled around this secluded courtyard, watching the spirit pets frolicking together, then looking at the sword and bird playing together, the scattered towering trees, and the spiritual spring emanating spiritual energy beneath them... All of this was new and interesting to Hong Chi.
