But the heavenly tribulation was indeed a very real existence.
Starting from the Core Formation Realm, with each breakthrough, all living beings would undergo the baptism of natural forces from their own cultivation.
Survive it, and one would be reborn anew.
Fail to endure it, and one would beco an insignificant speck of dust in the cosmos.
Huang Zhu was currently undergoing the tribulation of bloodline transformation.
A whole half a month had nearly passed.
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, Huang Zhu opened her mouth to release a sky-piercing, earth-yellow beam of light that shattered the already weakened heavenly forces above.
Huang Zhu soared into the sky, transforming into a hundred-zhang long, two-clawed, and one-horned yellow Flood Dragon.
Her fierce might was overwhelming, and her aura, to say the least, had doubled in strength compared to several years ago.
Even her cultivation had unconsciously reached the top tier of the fifth grade lower level, not far from the fifth grade middle level!
The rear courtyard of the underground palace.
Within an ice spirit pool, the Ice Scale Fish King looked enviously and reverently at Huang Zhu, who soared through the clouds above, as flashes of spiritual insight erged in his mind.
Watching Huang Zhu’s transformation greatly shocked the Ice Scale Fish King, but it also yielded imnse gains.
Today, years after swallowing the fish-dragon fruit, he seed to have penetrated the thin mbrane of his bloodline bottleneck and found his own Great Dao of dragon transformation.
Buzz!
The Ice Scale Fish King sank into the depths of the ice spirit pool, his mind a void of enlightennt, as he began to sleep and comprehend the insights gained from witnessing Huang Zhu’s transformation.
While sleeping, his body also emitted a deep blue mystic light as he quietly transford.
In the ice spirit pool, there were nearly twenty Ice Scale Fish monsters.
Their cultivation ranged between the first, second, and third levels.
These Ice Scale Fish had also awakened their own sentience, but unlike the Fish King, they were not clever enough to transform into human form.
At the mont of the Fish King’s transformation, they ca together not far from him.
Bathed in the unique mystic light emanating from the Fish King, this group of Ice Scale Fish seed to have made significant gains as well, as they all began to fall asleep.
Inside the Immortal Palace.
Su Yu, Taoist Tianyu, Mansion Lord Fan Xiao, along with the Golden Flood Dragon Monster Leader, and Dao Master Jiuling had all co here.
The mont Huang Zhu returned to human form and re-entered the Immortal Palace, everyone congratulated her in unison.
The Golden Flood Dragon Monster Leader looked at Huang Zhu and smiled as he invited her to sit beside him, saying, "Sister Huang Zhu, co sit over here."
Having successfully transford into a dragon, Huang Zhu had finally caught the eye of the Golden Flood Dragon Monster Leader.
However, the cheerful laughter and congratulations of those present did not last long, when suddenly, Fan Xiao’s face slightly changed. Her Divine Sense probed into a ssage Token, and the voice of Elder Zhao Cangfeng ca through.
Zhao Cangfeng spoke gravely, "Mansion Lord, representatives from the Ying Family, the Fifth Family, the Gongsun Family, and five other clans from Canggu Immortal City have co to visit."
Monts later.
In the Grand Hall of the Earth Immortal Mansion Gate.
Fan Xiao, with the company of the Golden Flood Dragon Monster Leader and Dao Master Jiuling, t with the five Dao Masters who had suddenly visited from Canggu Immortal City.
Fan Xiao had never seen these five people before – they were not from the group like the Ying Family’s six ancestors who had visited the Earth Immortal Mansion in the past.
Yet still, the group was led by a white-haired old Dao Master from the Ying Family. The old man’s cultivation was not strong, only at the Third Level of the Hollow Void Realm.
The white-haired old man glanced at the Golden Flood Dragon Monster Leader, then at Dao Master Jiuling, and smiled, "I am Ying Qiantong of the Canggu Immortal City’s Ying Family. My friends may call Dao Master Qiantong."
"The purpose of my visit to the Earth Immortal Mansion is to discuss a matter of interest."
Fan Xiao’s brows lightly furrowed; this man’s deanor was different from the previous visitors from the Ying Family.
Throughout his words...
There was a hint of haughtiness, as if he were speaking to underlings.
It seed as if the Earth Immortal Mansion was, in his eyes, nothing more than a servant to be ordered around at will.
However, considering the strength and influence of Canggu Immortal City, Fan Xiao still suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Please, speak, Elder Qiantong."
```
"Of course, an ugly truth stated in advance—if our Earth Immortal Mansion is powerless regarding the matter Elder speaks of, then we can only apologize,"
Ying Qiantong’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes as he regarded Fan Xiao. The color of coldness shimred in his gaze. That remark... it seed a bit disrespectful to their Ying Family.
Ying Qiantong said, "Fair enough, this matter should be quite simple for your Earth Immortal Mansion to handle."
"Not long ago, the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty approached our Canggu Immortal City, seeking to pressure us into dealing with your Earth Immortal Mansion, to give them an explanatory.
"This person, nad Lei Changtian, is a Great Dao Lord of Hollow Space who has lived for nearly three thousand years."
"Though he has been in seclusion for a long ti and seldom erges into the world, the number of Dao Masters and Monster Lords that have fallen by his hand is by no ans limited to the fingers on one’s hands."
Ying Qiantong spoke calmly, all the while observing the changes in expressions of Fan Xiao, the Golden Spirit Monster Lord, and Dao Master Jiuling.
As expected.
Upon hearing the identity and strength of Lei Changtian, Fan Xiao’s complexion changed at once.
The faces of the Golden Spirit Monster Lord and Dao Master Jiuling also darkened, clearly displeased.
Fan Xiao furrowed his brows, his gaze intensifying as he looked at Ying Qiantong and the other four Dao Masters from Canggu Immortal City and said, "I trust the distinguished Elders have not co to my Earth Immortal Mansion with the intention of making a move against us."
Ying Qiantong smiled derisively and replied, "Since when could Canggu Immortal City be dictated by the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty? Even by Lei Changtian himself?"
However, as he spoke, Ying Qiantong’s gaze shifted towards Fan Xiao, the Golden Spirit Monster Lord, and Dao Master Jiuling, his tone taking a sharp turn, "Nonetheless, while Canggu Immortal City has nothing to fear, your Earth Immortal Mansion is a different case."
"If the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty were to truly take action against your Earth Immortal Mansion in earnest, do you really think that you could ensure your safety with rely a top-tier, sixth stage divine statue in your possession?"
"Impossible!"
"If the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty intends to target you, the ans they could employ are well beyond a hundred, a thousand varieties."
The Golden Spirit Monster Lord, growing a bit impatient, spoke up, "Just co to the point, Daoist Qiantong."
Interrupted in his mont of putting on airs, Ying Qiantong’s eyes clouded with a hint of shadow.
He snorted coldly and said, "Lei Changtian is coming. Your Earth Immortal Mansion has only two choices: the first is to be obliterated and plundered by Lei Changtian, with your lineage wiped out."
"The second, hand over that divine statue and the inheritance of the ruins behind it to our Canggu Immortal City, and we ensure your Earth Immortal Mansion’s safety and wellbeing!"
So, it was for the divine statue of the Earth Immortal Mansion and the so-called inheritance opportunity they ca.
Fan Xiao, the Golden Spirit Monster Lord, and Dao Master Jiuling’s hearts sank with shock and anger.
Not long ago, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was suddenly struck by a great disaster. The Raven Tribe descended and destroyed the Imperial City, leading to heavy losses, and they were no longer a threat to their Earth Immortal Mansion.
This was great news that had finally cald the anxious hearts of the people at Earth Immortal Mansion, filled with joy and relief.
But how long had it been?
The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had departed, only to be replaced by an even stronger Canggu Immortal City!?
As for handing over the divine statue and the supposed ruins inheritance to Canggu Immortal City in exchange for protection of Earth Immortal Mansion’s safety?
That was nothing but a ludicrous joke.
Fearfully, the mont Earth Immortal Mansion truly acted upon such a decision, the five clans of Canggu Immortal City would abandon Earth Immortal Mansion, leaving it to the rcy of the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty’s wrath.
"Once, the Sixth Ancestor of the Ying Family had visited our Earth Immortal Mansion, and I thought that the Canggu Immortal City might indeed beco the foremost Immortal Sect in the Cangzhou Territory, capable of safeguarding the cultivators here."
"Now it seems, I have overestimated you."
"Elders, please return. We will not see you out."
The Golden Spirit Monster Lord stood up, his expression indifferent as he spoke.
While Ying Qiantong and the other four were Dao Masters from the five clans of Canggu Immortal City, the Earth Immortal Mansion currently had a top-tier, sixth stage divine statue in its possession, making it no weak force.
Obviously, the five of them dared not truly act recklessly within the Earth Immortal Mansion.
They could do nothing but leave with cold faces.
After seeing off Ying Qiantong and the other four, Fan Xiao, Taoist Tianyu, Huang Zhu, Zhao Cangfeng, and others successively appeared in the Immortal Door Grand Hall, discussing the implications of the arrival of the five clan Dao Masters from Canggu Immortal City.
Su Yu had not said much, but once again, a thick cloud of gloom enveloped the Earth Immortal Mansion.
When he returned to the secret realm beneath the Earth Palace, Su Yu heaved a sigh, murmuring to himself, "Without strength, even hoping for a peaceful cultivation in this Cultivation World is but a wishful thought."
Elsewhere.
The Wastelands.
Within the ruins of the Yue Xian Mansion Xian City, Su Yu’s Dividing the Spirit Dao Body, seated within the Phoenix Dao Body, slowly opened its eyes, and on the Phoenix Dao Body, a tender green branch stirred gently.
