As the tribulation thunder roared, Ao Juan retreated, the dragon eyes turned, and it turned to run away.

Aoooo—

"You, you! Don’t run away, come back! Get me somewhere else first and then go!!"

Jiang Yuebai shouted in a fit of rage, only receiving the sound of a dragon’s roar from beyond the sky in response.

The meaning was... take care, see you in the Upper Realm!

Jiang Yuebai crumpled onto the pile of magic treasures and materials. Because of the surging power within Ao Juan’s drop of Winged Dragon Essence Blood, her Sea of Consciousness and Dantian shook simultaneously, creating a fierce whirlwind, making the Core Formation unstoppable!

At this moment, besides forming her core on the spot, she had no way to further suppress the spiritual energy in her Dantian and find another location.

Actually, Ao Juan had no choice; she brought Jiang Yuebai out to sea, finding no disordered fierce beasts around, the calmness led her to stop.

Little did she know, Zhao Fuyi was about to undergo Divinity Transformation, setting up the tribulation crossing land during these days, had already chosen this sea area, cleaned up fierce beasts in advance, set up arrays under the sea, ensuring the safety within a thousand miles.

Black clouds rolled in from east and west; the eastern ones belonged to Jiang Yuebai.

The western clouds, as fierce as a mountain torrent burst, belonged to True Monarch Fuyi.

The clouds seemed close but were actually hundreds of miles apart, yet they collided in the sky, merging into a huge, sky-blinding mass.

Jiang Yuebai was dumbfounded, what’s going on?

Two people’s thunder tribulations treated as one, randomly striking blindly?

"Damn heavens, if you are slacking off, you can’t do it like this! I’m forming my core and she’s transforming, get it straight! Are you cheating, not giving me any chance to survive!!"

Rumble!

Thunder boomed as a cool air rose from behind, making Jiang Yuebai shiver involuntarily.

There seems to be no choice; damn heavens are so unreasonable.

Jiang Yuebai pressed her Dantian, glanced at the pile behind her, and quickly stored it in the bracelet.

Between them, she found two special magic treasures, a ruler and a folding fan, unable to discern their grade momentarily, intuitively feeling they are different from ordinary treasures, she put them aside separately.

In her Sea of Consciousness, the double-winged white dragon formed from Winged Dragon Essence Blood still roared, while the vortex in the Qi Elixir in her Dantian began to spin uncontrollably, madly absorbing spirit energy from the Dao Platform and heaven and earth, compressing inwards.

Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth, holding on, rushing down the mountain with all her strength, sitting by the mountainside.

The mountain top was too obvious a target, can’t let the damn heavens strike her so easily.

At this time, a figure rushed over from the west, Jiang Yuebai looked up, it was her master Lii Jiuchuan.

Jiang Yuebai’s nose suddenly turned sour.

Amidst the fierce winds, Lii Jiuchuan’s attire fluttered, his face full of anxiety, hurriedly checking on Jiang Yuebai’s situation, then raising his head, he looked at the tribulation clouds with furrowed brows.

He was clearly in a hurry, previously occupied with something, his face looked tired, his garment slightly stained with blood.

"I just came from Fuyi’s place. She guessed this was your spot. Your cultivation speed really caught us... unprepared!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai pouted, "You actually went to True Monarch Fuyi first, Master, you don’t care about me anymore!"

Lii Jiuchuan’s brows relaxed, "You still have the leisure to banter, seems you’re well-prepared. Are you scared?"

Facing Lii Jiuchuan’s gentle inquiry, Jiang Yuebai nodded, speaking softly, "Can I not be scared?"

"Don’t be afraid, Master is here."

Although knowing it’s just comfort, Jiang Yuebai was still moved as her eyes moistened. Her master, though not always by her side, gives strong support and encouragement during crucial moments.

Tribulation crossing is a solitary ordeal; no one can aid her. Rationally, she knows she must rely on herself, but emotionally, she still needs family encouragement and presence to relax her tense heart and gain infinite courage.

Lii Jiuchuan raised his hand to rub Jiang Yuebai’s head, realizing suddenly she’s become a young lady, he switched to patting her shoulder.

"The Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation takes a longer time to brew; surely your Core Formation Thunder Tribulation will fall first. There’s an array set by Fuyi around here, no fierce beasts will suddenly appear to disrupt your core formation. Generally, Core Formation Thunder Tribulation ranges from one to nine strikes, depending on the quality of your formed Golden Core. The more strikes, if you can bear them, the greater the benefits you’ll receive in the end."

"A perfect, flawless Golden Core with nine-colored, six-colored, or three-colored core aura is Upper Three Grades Golden Core. Middle Three Grades and Lower Three Grades, like Foundation Establishment, will have cracks left by the thunder tribulation. Given your current physique, a First Grade Golden Core is achievable, so prepare for nine thunder strikes."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, then asked, "Then what about the pure and flawless Heavenly Grade Golden Core, how many strikes should it endure?"

She couldn’t find an explanation in books, but the mixed spiritual energy in her Qi Elixir is pure and flawless colorless spiritual energy.

Lii Jiuchuan frowned, "I don’t know either, having never seen it. Back then, the founder of the Heavenly Interence Sect was also a First Grade Golden Core with nine-colored aura. If the Supreme Elder were here, she might know; the Upper Realm surely has had Heavenly Grade Golden Cores."

Rumble!

The might of heaven loomed heavily. Lii Jiuchuan turned his hand, summoning his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Five-Colored Glazed Tower, and seeing this, Jiang Yuebai quickly clung to Lii Jiuchuan’s arm.

"Master! I will endure my thunder tribulation myself; you don’t need to shield me. If..."

Jiang Yuebai didn’t finish, fearing if her thunder tribulation were too fierce, it might cause problems for her master’s Lifebound Magic Treasure, and this time, there might not be the good luck to find a method of repair.

Jiang Yuebai looked firm, "I’ve made comprehensive preparations; True Monarch Fuyi surely didn’t mention, I have dragon scales, they can withstand thunder tribulation."

Upon hearing, Lii Jiuchuan hesitated for a moment, in the end, putting away his Lifebound Magic Treasure.

"Master, get some distance, trust me!"

Lii Jiuchuan looked seriously at Jiang Yuebai, "I’ll be nearby, don’t worry, Master will surely not let anything happen to you, just go forward unhesitatingly."

Jiang Yuebai pressed her lips and nodded. Lii Jiuchuan gave one last glance at the sky full of black clouds, looked deeply at Jiang Yuebai for a moment, then turned to leave.

Black clouds pressed heavily overhead, fierce winds howled, leaving Jiang Yuebai alone on the empty island, back against the mountain, awaiting the lightning strike.

She took off the storage bracelet and ring, sitting on them to prevent damage from the lightning strike, though taking and storing would not be affected, and everything on her was already stored securely.

Jiang Yuebai took out the Top-Grade Profound Essence Elixir obtained from the puppy rascal and swallowed it in one gulp, folding her hands over her Dantian, closing her eyes slightly, and began following the method described in "Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill," guiding her Divine Sense, circulating spiritual energy.

Boom!

The efficacy of the Profound Essence Elixir exploded, Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Thought sank into the center of the Dantian Qi Vortex, under the effect of the elixir, she felt like being pushed, easily stirring the vortex to spin faster and faster, generating an unparalleled great suction.

Around the vortex, the five Dao Platforms trembled violently, smoky spiritual energy being drawn, stirred into the vortex, continuing to compress inward.

The vortex was akin to a ravenous Taotie, the suction increasing endlessly under the influence of the Profound Essence Elixir.

Crack!

Suddenly, five cracks appeared on the five Dao Platforms, the broken Dao Platform fragments swept by the whirlwind within the Dantian and entered the vortex.

Rich spiritual energy flooded in, the pure and unmixed colorless spiritual energy began to show colors of wood, fire, earth.

Unable to mutually converge, Jiang Yuebai’s originally stable Qi Elixir shook violently, with the shell being battered and about to shatter.

Jiang Yuebai trembled, this due to her self-realized Water Spirit still being insufficiently formidable to merge the five spiritual energies; Water Spirit Energy plays a dominant role among them.

Beginning with water, the Five Elements Rotation, ending with water.

Roar!!

The sound of dragon roars echoed in her Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Yuebai’s heart relaxed.

It turns out that, in the dark, everything was arranged for the best.

Winged Dragon, adept at arousing clouds and rain, isn’t Winged Dragon Essence Blood the finest and strongest water spirit object?

Dragon trapped in the abyss, soaring inevitably to the nine heavens.

Abyss belongs to water, also referring to her entrapment due to water, once a breakthrough occurs, she will surely soar into the nine heavens!

If so, then let it come!

With a thought, Jiang Yuebai conjured a phantom of a double-winged white dragon within her Dantian, the flying dragon roared, charging into the cracked Water Dao Platform.

Crack!

The Water Dao Platform shattered instantly, fragments like stars in the sky, each piece carrying the shadow of a double-winged white dragon, roaring into the Dantian vortex.

Under the dragon’s might, the four Dao Platforms bowed down one after another, orderly breaking, entering the vortex in accordance to the Five Elements Mutual Generation.

Blending together, losing impurity, transforming into an ever-viscous colorless spiritual energy.

Crack!

Tree-thick lightning split the black clouds, illuminating the night like daylight.

The thunder tribulation is coming!
