After consuming the Mystic Frost Violet Fruit, Xue Er's Heavenly Fox Bloodline was reactivated, like an ancient Divine Beast awakened from a long slumber. It surged out from her Dantian and rapidly spread throughout her entire body like a torrent.
With the Awakening of the Bloodline Power, Xue Er's aura instantly became mysterious and majestic. Under the cleansing of this power, her body seemed to undergo a complete transformation. Her skin became even more delicate, like beautiful jade under the moonlight, emitting a faint glow, and her vertical eyes became deep and bright, as if they could see through all illusions in the world.
The next moment, Xue Er directly revealed her true form—a spiritual fox with white fur, agile and elegant, like an elf in the mountains. Her five fox tails swayed up and down, like five silver ribbons dancing in the air, and between these five fox tails, a sixth fox tail was rapidly forming.
This newborn fox tail was unique, exuding an even more powerful and mysterious aura. Its existence made Xue Er's aura even more powerful and sacred.
However, with the birth of the sixth fox tail, the pain Xue Er endured was far beyond what she could have imagined. It was a searing pain that pierced her bones, as if it would tear her entire Soul apart. Xue Er let out a mournful howl towards the sky, her voice filled with endless pain and struggle, as if trying to pour out all her suffering.
This pain did not only come from physical injury; more of it was a struggle deep within her Soul. Xue Er felt her consciousness wavering in the pain, as if it could be swallowed by this power at any moment. She gritted her teeth, trying to stay awake. She knew that she absolutely could not give up at this moment, otherwise everything would be in vain.
The medicinal power of the Mystic Frost Violet Fruit raged within Xue Er's body, cleansing her physique and purifying her Aptitude. This power was strong and mysterious; it was not only transforming Xue Er's body but also stimulating her long-dormant Heavenly Fox Bloodline. With the birth of the sixth fox tail, Xue Er's aura began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
At her tail, the newly born sixth fox tail was gradually stabilizing. Although it still emitted a strong light and aura, it was no longer as violent and out of control as before. Xue Er could feel the connection between this fox tail and her gradually strengthening; it would become her most powerful weapon and source of power.
When the sixth fox tail completely grew, Xue Er's aura also climbed to its peak. A majestic power surged within her body, the Demonic Qi from the ancient Heavenly Fox Bloodline, powerful and profound, swept through the entire Cultivate room. Waves of materialized white frost Demonic Qi covered every corner of the Cultivate room with a thick layer of ice.
At this moment, Xue Er's body had grown a few sizes, and her six fox tails swayed continuously, beautiful and sacred, with an outstanding temperament. However, a rare trace of fear appeared in her beautiful vertical eyes.
Xue Er looked up at the sky, where an invisible sword seemed to be tightly locked onto her. It was the aura of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation; she felt the lock of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation.
At this time, within the Seven Profound Sect, whether it was the Sect Elders or the Disciples who were Cultivating, they all felt this unusual aura. They all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
Several Elders frowned deeply. Their Cultivation was profound, so they could naturally sense the aura of this Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation, and they also felt the unusualness of this Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation.
"The scope of this thundercloud is too large!" an Elder said with a frown.
"Who is Undergoing Tribulation?! What kind of Lightning Tribulation is this?!" another Elder asked in confusion, as he had never felt such a powerful Lightning Tribulation aura.
"The core of the Lightning Tribulation seems to be in the Sect Leader's Mansion. Is Senior Brother Qiu Undergoing Soul Transformation Lightning Tribulation?" a Disciple guessed.
"Doesn't look like it! The power contained in this Lightning Tribulation is too strong, even a Soul Transformation Lightning Tribulation cannot compare to it." an Elder denied this guess.
...
The Disciples discussed animatedly. They curiously guessed the source of the Lightning Tribulation, and at the same time, they were worried about the Disciple who was about to Undergo Tribulation.
Li Mu's brows furrowed, and in an instant, he understood what had happened. His figure flickered, appearing like a ghost in the courtyard of the Sect Leader's Mansion, or more accurately, at the entrance of the Cultivate room. Li Mu used the Instant Wheel Technique. Before the onlookers in the Sect Leader's Mansion even noticed, he appeared out of thin air.
The door of the Cultivate room slowly opened, and Xue Er walked out from inside. Her small face was pale, and her eyes were filled with nervousness and timidity.
Xue Er looked up at the gradually gathering thunderclouds in the sky and said to Lord Li with a trembling voice, "Lord Li, I've advanced, and I'm about to Undergo Lightning Tribulation!"
Li Mu looked at Xue Er, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. Her Aptitude was already good, and the Heavenly Fox Bloodline was an extraordinary foundation. However, she was usually a bit playful and disliked Cultivating.
Now, it was within Li Mu's expectation that Xue Er would successfully advance after taking the Mystic Frost Violet Fruit and entering seclusion.
Li Mu nodded and smiled at Xue Er, saying, "I've prepared a few Magic Treasures for your Undergoing Tribulation. I hope they can help you."
As he spoke, Li Mu waved his hand, and the next moment, several Magic Treasures shining with brilliant spiritual light appeared in his hand.
Li Mu looked at Xue Er and explained in detail, "This Lightning-Avoiding Orb, although not large, its internal power should not be underestimated. It can absorb part of the Lightning Tribulation's power, greatly reducing the pressure you endure during Undergoing Tribulation. This Living Spirit Pagoda not only can protect your Divine Soul and stabilize your state of mind but also provide spiritual essence at critical moments to assist you in Undergoing Tribulation. This Divine Protection Armor can enhance your defense, making you safer under the attack of the Lightning Tribulation. And there's this Soul-Calming Mirror..."
"These Magic Treasures are all carefully prepared and refined by me for your Undergoing Tribulation. They can provide help at critical moments during your Undergoing Tribulation, allowing you to safely pass the Lightning Tribulation." Li Mu's tone was full of care and expectation for Xue Er.
"Of course, although the power of these Undergoing Tribulation Magic Treasures is good, and they can indeed provide some protection for you when the Lightning Tribulation descends, you ultimately have to rely on yourself to Undergo Tribulation. You must remember not to overly rely on them unless absolutely necessary during the Undergoing Tribulation process. Try to pass the Lightning Tribulation with your own abilities; only then can you truly Breakthrough yourself. I believe you will definitely succeed!" Li Mu looked at Xue Er and said expectantly.
Xue Er took the Magic Treasures Li Mu handed over, and a warm current surged in her heart. She hadn't expected that Lord Li had already made so many preparations for her in advance, which made her feel both touched and excited.
Xue Er took a deep breath, looked at Li Mu with firm eyes, and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Lord Li. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."
"En! I'll send you to the Tribulation Transcending Platform. You should quickly refine them." Li Mu smiled and nodded, saying to Xue Er.
After speaking, Li Mu gently waved his hand, and a spiritual sword immediately appeared in front of him. He flew up and lightly landed on the sword body, his posture elegant and composed. The spiritual sword trembled slightly under his feet, as if also anticipating the journey ahead.
Seeing this, Xue Er did not hesitate at all. She immediately flew up and lightly landed behind Li Mu. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, her movements natural and fluid, as if the two had fought side by side countless times before.
"Hold on tight! Let's go!" Li Mu's voice rang in Xue Er's ear. The spiritual sword under his feet instantly transformed into a streak of light, cutting through the sky, and sped towards the Tribulation Transcending Platform.
The spiritual sword's speed was extremely fast, as if it could Transmigration through space. In just a short moment, it had already arrived above the Tribulation Transcending Platform.
The Tribulation Transcending Platform was where Seven Profound Sect Disciples Underwent Tribulation, located on a secluded Ling Peak on the outskirts of Seven Gods Mountain. Although this Ling Peak was not conspicuous, it had a unique Spiritual Qi flow, providing an excellent environment for Undergoing Tribulation.
Li Mu controlled the spiritual sword to slowly descend, finally stopping steadily on the Tribulation Transcending Platform. Xue Er jumped from the Flying Sword onto the Tribulation Platform and looked up, only to see several mysterious Law formations arranged on the Tribulation Transcending Platform, flickering with faint light, seemingly preparing for the impending Lightning Tribulation.
"This is the Tribulation Transcending Platform." Li Mu pointed forward and said, "Xue Er, now quickly refine the Undergoing Tribulation Magic Treasures and prepare to face the Undergoing Tribulation. Remember, don't be afraid to Undergo Lightning Tribulation. With your Cultivation and Aptitude, you'll definitely be fine if you face it calmly."
Xue Er nodded, sat down cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to activate the spiritual power within her body to refine the Magic Treasures in her hands.
As Xue Er activated them, the spiritual light on the Magic Treasures began to flow slowly, gradually merging into her body.
Just then, the thunderclouds gathering in the sky rushed even more rapidly towards them. Li Mu looked up at the approaching thunderclouds, realizing that the moment for Xue Er to Undergo Tribulation had arrived.
Li Mu quickly flew away from the Tribulation Transcending Platform on his sword, hovering to the side to watch Xue Er Undergo Tribulation.
The power of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation should not be underestimated. Once enveloped by it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the sky, thunderclouds rolled, lightning flashed, and the momentum was astonishing.
In the center of the thunderclouds, a thick pillar of lightning was faintly condensing, as if it were the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, intending to destroy all beings who dared to challenge its Law. The oppressive power of the thunder made the surrounding space tremble, as if foreshadowing the impending calamity.
Xue Er felt unprecedented pressure, but she did not retreat. She closed her eyes tightly, concentrating on activating the Demonic Qi within her body, preparing to face the descent of the Lightning Tribulation. She knew this was a huge test in her Cultivation career.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared beside Li Mu. They were wearing the Disciple robes of the Seven Profound Sect, and they were several Elders from the Sect. They looked solemnly at the thunderclouds in the sky, all feeling the power of the Lightning Tribulation.
"So it's Miss Xue Er Undergoing Tribulation." Fang Shixin looked at Xue Er on the Tribulation Transcending Platform and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration, obviously shocked by the strength and talent Xue Er displayed.
"Miss Xue Er's Cultivation and Aptitude are truly outstanding!" another Elder, Ge Xinyu, couldn't help but exclaim, "The form of the Lightning Tribulation is unusual; a columnar thundercloud has appeared. Could this be the Nine-Pillar Transformation Lightning Tribulation that only high-level True Dragons experience when Undergoing Tribulation?"
"It should be!" Qin Wentong nodded in agreement, "This kind of thundercloud tests the Dao Heart extremely highly, and it will bring down various tribulations such as the Heart Demon Tribulation, the Inner Demon Tribulation, and the Six Desires Tribulation. These accumulated Lightning Tribulations are probably the most difficult Transformation Lightning Tribulation."
...
The Elders spoke one after another, discussing endlessly. Their gazes involuntarily turned towards the Sect Master, Li Mu, expecting him to enlighten them.
Since Li Mu joined the Sect more than ten years ago, everyone in the Seven Profound Sect has looked at him with new eyes. He not only has outstanding attainments in Artifact Refining and formation arrangement but also demonstrated exceptional talent in raising and taming beasts. The Azure Moon True Dragon, Azure Jade Ginseng King... and other five tamed beasts, whether in appearance, strength, or Aptitude, were all akin to Divine Beast guardians of the Sect.
However, Li Mu alone possessed five of them, and even his maid, Xue Er, was a fox demon with extraordinary strength and an unusual Bloodline.
At this moment, the Elders looked at Li Mu, all very curious about what kind of Bloodline and background Xue Er possessed, that she would need to Undergo such a high-level Lightning Tribulation. Only Li Mu could give an accurate answer to this question.
Meeting their inquiring gazes, Li Mu smiled slightly and did not directly answer their questions. Xue Er's Bloodline and background involved some sensitive issues, and now was not the time to discuss them. The most important thing was to ensure that Xue Er could successfully pass this Lightning Tribulation.
Li Mu looked at everyone and merely added, "Miss Xue Er is indeed very outstanding, and her Bloodline and background are also extraordinary, but for now, let's focus on whether she can pass this tribulation! Other things are inconvenient to discuss."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, a hint of helplessness and regret flashing in their eyes. They knew that the topic of Xue Er's Bloodline and background was clearly not the time to discuss. So, they tacitly chose to end the topic and redirected their attention to the Tribulation Transcending Platform, observing Xue Er's process of Undergoing Tribulation.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and tension. They knew that Xue Er was facing a huge challenge at this moment. The atmosphere on the Tribulation Transcending Platform became exceptionally solemn and tense, as if even the air had solidified.
As time passed, everyone's mood grew heavier. They knew that this Lightning Tribulation was a huge test for Xue Er and an important turning point in her Cultivation career. If she succeeded, her Cultivation and strength would be greatly enhanced; if she failed, she might face the risk of severe injury or even falling.
Finally, after half an hour of anxious waiting from everyone, the lightning pillar in the sky was finally condensed. A thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, heading straight for Xue Er.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to change color because of it. The oppressive power of the thunder moved everyone around, and they couldn't help but worry for Xue Er.
The lightning and Xue Er's concentrated Demonic Qi collided violently, erupting in astonishing energy fluctuations. The Spiritual Qi around the Tribulation Transcending Platform became even more agitated, stirring up a spiritual power storm. However, facing this terrifying Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation, Xue Er was unfazed. She concentrated on dealing with each lightning attack, continuously activating the Demonic Qi within her body to resist it head-on.
As the lightning continuously struck down, Xue Er's aura also changed constantly. She endured the pain of the lightning devouring her body, but her mindset became even more resolute and composed. Each lightning strike made her more mature and powerful, as if she was using this Lightning Tribulation as a tempering process, constantly transforming and growing. (End of Chapter)
