Then, the Sect Head's gaze leisurely turned toward another part deep within the mountain range, where powerful spiritual energy fluctuations sealed off a Secret Realm.

"Nephew Changge was sent into the 'Lesser Heavenly Cycle Yuanchen Dao Domain' to break through to Soul Transformation. Counting the days, it should be soon..."

A hint of playful anticipation flashed in White Cloud Master's eyes.

"One is a recently risen monster who has fused the Origin Dao Intent of Pure Yang... the other is a candidate for Sect Head whom our sect has cultivated with all its effort for decades, carrying great Luck... Hehe, the battle for the top spot among the Yin Yang Sect's younger generation, the one who truly leads the pack... is likely to happen ahead of schedule! This is truly a sign of the sect's rising fortune!"

Outside Luoxia Peak, in the Forbidden Ground belonging to Spirit Water Peak.

In the southern valley, where water spirits were abundant and immortal mist rose and curled, stood a magnificent ice-jade pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, a beautiful woman dressed in a water-blue flowing cloud palace dress stood still in the center of the garden.

Her beautiful eyes, clear as autumn water, were now filled with gravity and worry.

Strands of pure and powerful Body Integration Stage Divine Power turned into an invisible barrier,

enveloping the entire pavilion and cutting off all external sounds and interference from external demons.

The Peak Master of Spirit Water Peak, Liu Yue.

Her gaze was fixed on the pavilion, which was covered by a Restriction. At this moment, violent Divine Soul fluctuations were constantly leaking from within,

along with a grey, sinister mist that seemed to contain the extreme cold of the Nine Serenities and a bloody, eerie aura.

That aura carried a heart-palpitating tearing and penetrating power!

Her personal core Disciple, Cang Yunyao, was currently at the final stage of breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm,

which was also the most dangerous stage—the Heart Demon, the Soul-Devouring Tribulation!

The grey mist surged, and the yin wind howled!

The wails of the Divine Soul, containing the sinister blood aura of the Nine Serenities, were like sharp cones, stabbing fiercely into Liu Yue's tense heartstrings!

The majestic Void Refining Divine Power gathering at her fingertips was about to burst forth,

to forcibly break the Restriction and save her Disciple from the brink of Qi Deviation!

"No—!"

At this critical moment, a clear shout filled with extreme unwillingness and anger suddenly rang out from the depths of the pavilion!

Buzz!

The young girl's Primordial Spirit light cocoon, which was originally so weak it was about to extinguish and covered in cracks, suddenly contracted inward!

Like the final, life-risking tremor of a heart!

All the cracks instantly lit up with a blinding radiance!

It wasn't the white heat of destruction!

But... a pure, clear, yet fate-defying brilliant purple!

The radiance was so strong that it instantly overwhelmed the churning grey sinister mist and demonic fire!

Boom!

Majestic water vapor, seemingly solidified, condensed out of thin air within the pavilion, taking on the momentum of a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl!

That wasn't water! That was the extremely pure Primordial Embryo Condensation True Water!

"Yao'er?!"

Liu Yue's beautiful eyes suddenly burst with brilliant light. Her fingertips, which were gathering Divine Power, stopped abruptly, and her jade-like hands trembled slightly with excitement.

She saw the grey sinister mist monster, which was pouncing with bared fangs and claws toward the Primordial Divine Soul,

being struck head-on by this sudden explosion of endless purple light and the dragon's roar of the True Water!

Like snow melting in spring, it actually let out an extremely sharp and painful shriek,

its form eroded by the purple light and washed away by the True Water, rapidly melting and disintegrating!

Mi-duo-du-lu-huo-nuo... A faint, low-pitched Buddhist chant,

mingled with the majestic roar of the divine dragon's raging waves, faintly echoed where the core of the grey mist collapsed.

As if the deepest obsession had instantly crumbled!

In just a few breaths, the eerie grey mist that had blotted out the sky was like snowflakes thrown into a furnace, completely evaporating and vanishing without a trace!

The hideous Heart Demon phantom, along with the tooth-aching, sinister chewing sound, returned to nothingness!

Phew—

The wind suddenly went still.

Inside the ice-jade pavilion, there was only a new, vigorous,

fluctuation of clear, divine radiance, like the first waves of a waking vast ocean, spreading out.

That was the pure light of the Primordial Spirit after being tempered by tribulation—firm, vast, and no longer obstructed!

The condensation process, which had been weakened by layers of Restrictions, was nearly declared a success!

"Good!!!"

Liu Yue couldn't help but whisper a praise, and the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally relaxed significantly!

A relieved and joyful smile appeared on her exquisite face.

The Disciple she had raised like a daughter had finally relied on her own Heart-Nature and that mysterious Opportunity to endure this extremely dangerous Heart Demon Soul-Devouring Tribulation!

Next was... the Lightning Tribulation!

Boom—!!

Almost at the very moment the grey mist vanished and the purple, auspicious Primordial Spirit spiritual light began to condense and manifest through the walls from between her brows!

Above Spirit Water Peak, the thick, lead-grey tribulation cloud that had been gathering momentum seemed to be completely enraged!

The dull, extremely oppressive, world-shaking roar was like thousands of giant gods beating drums!

The entire valley for a hundred miles around was completely enveloped by an overbearing, violent Pure Yang Heavenly Might, enough to crush mountains and ancient trees!

"It's here!"

Liu Yue's gaze became sharp as silk again, and the aura covering Cang Yunyao turned into a lightning-god-like barrier that pierced straight into the sky!

"Yao'er, steady your mind! Focus your thoughts on the path of Primordial Spirit manifestation and let the Heavenly Might temper your body!

Master will help you block the most dangerous combined strikes!"

With a point of her emerald finger, three beams of powerful treasure light, each containing a different Origin aura, instantly turned into pillars of light and shot toward the tribulation cloud in the sky, where an endless pool of lightning was brewing.

One was a protective treasure map with green light flowing like delicate water ripples—the 'Mystic Origin True Water Map,' containing the essence of an entire sea, endless and ever-growing.

The second was a heavy cloth-type weapon emitting crystalline yellow Spirit Treasure Dao Laws, the 'Tai Shu Heavy Burial Earth Kun Bag',

a heavy defensive treasure that could carry countless malevolent auras and discharge the tribulation disaster toward the edge of the Heavenly Dao using special Laws.

The third consisted of two smooth, moist, life-like orbs containing the clear radiance of the sun and moon—

the 'Mystic Yin Golden Soul Ring' and the 'Xuanji Servant Spirit Pearl'! They served as both Protectors and a front-line force to break the tribulation!

These three treasures were Liu Yue's trump cards, the water-attribute Body Integration Dao lineage Origin treasures she relied on to enter the 'Kun' Dao!

Trump cards she had cherished for countless years! Now, she revealed them without hesitation!

Pure white, blinding lightning dragons revealed their hideous faces within the churning tribulation cloud!

...At the same time.

In the Molten Lake Immortal Cave of Luoxia Peak.

Yao Delong was suddenly jolted by the familiar yet strange sensation of Divine Soul purification and the subsequent world-shaking roar of thunder,

which faintly traveled from hundreds of miles away, penetrating the Restrictions!

"Hmm?" He looked up in surprise. "Such strong Divine Soul fluctuations... and... this scent of Lightning Tribulation? It feels a bit familiar?"

His Divine Thought faintly reached out, following that weak but extremely resilient specific resonance!

Buzz!

As if in response, a flash of memory lit up deep within his Sea of Consciousness:

A face with a determined and exquisite expression... set against water-blue spiritual energy like a transcendent immortal... "Senior Sister Cang?!" Yao Delong was stunned for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on him, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.

"The Lightning Tribulation is already here?! Senior Sister must have successfully advanced to Soul Transformation!"

Yao Delong glanced at the lonely display in his Sea of Consciousness: [yin-yang value: 10 points].

Poor! Too poor!

The yin-yang value required to deduce the second stage, 'Setting Sun Like Blood,' would definitely reach over two hundred points!

"After Dual Cultivation with Senior Sister Cang, I still have one unused lucky draw chance!"

Yao Delong's eyes suddenly lit up! Like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep in the dark!

"Draw! I must draw! If I happen to get a 'skill mastery card,' I'll go straight to the stomach... no... straight to the point!

I won't have to live my life stingily counting yin-yang values anymore!"

Once the thought arose, there was no more hesitation!

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, that extremely flamboyant, jewel-encrusted Golden Tycoon Roulette emerged once again!
