Chapter 569: 569. Collective Progress

Wanqing’s divine soul had just flown in when the pitch-dark clouds immediately lit up.

Lines of lightning snakes frolicked and surged, forming huge waves of thunder that struck down like a blanket from the sky!

Having experienced it himself, Lu Li was well aware of its power and couldn’t help but feel tense.

But then he noticed something was off—why was the thunder both fast and slow? The finer bolts led the charge, followed closely by the thicker ones?

A divine soul has a strong attraction to thunder, pulling all the lightning down together to erupt at once, and that is the greatest crisis of the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now, with the strength gradually increasing from weak to strong, leaving time to adjust, wasn’t this like a mentor feeding moves to his disciple?

"Right! Wanqing is the Four Spirits Vermilion Bird, the will of Heaven and Earth will naturally take extra care, leaving a sliver of hope for survival!"

Lu Li’s spirits soared, and the thunder had already struck Wanqing.

Wanqing’s soul was torn asunder, her consciousness mercilessly forged by the transcendent forces of heaven and earth.

This was the world’s harsh love for its creatures, yet it was also the ladder to ascension!

Wanqing was born extraordinary, and after following Lu Li, she had plenty of spiritual insights and never lacked resources.



Even the essence that Little Lu had previously condensed was a genuine tonic.

Even if the will of Heaven and Earth showed no mercy, Wanqing wouldn’t be afraid.

She endured the boundless severe pain, allowing the heavenly thunder to forge her.

Her Heart Image collapsed, but the Immortal Will filled its place... The solidity of the protective golden light was far superior to that of an ordinary Great Grandmaster, all thanks to Lu Li’s efforts.

Half a minute later, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief while a loud cry of the Vermilion Bird resounded through heaven and earth.

The dark clouds dissipated in an instant, transforming into multicolored auspicious clouds.

Rainbow light showered down from the sky, and Wanqing stood in the void, her eyes brimming with electric arcs!

The Thunder Tribulation Realm, achieved!

Lu Li beamed with a smile, "That was a close call with no harm done, congratulations Mo Heavenly Monarch~"

"That was so close, I barely made it through!"

Wanqing blinked, retracting the lightning, her excited cheeks flushed red.

They were amidst the "Universal Celebration," which lifted everyone’s spirits even higher.

Soon enough, the Immortal Palace was the first to extend congratulations: [Congratulations to the esteemed lady for overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, her future knows no bounds.]

Su Qing also sent a message: [I’m currently with Xiaoyu, pacifying the public’s heart. This "Universal Celebration" came at just the right time.]

The news of the apocalypse was known worldwide, creating inevitable panic and even the collapse of order, and Xiaoyu, as the Emperor, naturally had the responsibility to calm the masses.

Divine Dragon in the sky + "Universal Celebration," quickly stabilized the populace, a pleasant surprise indeed.

Immediately after, Li Yuanzhong and Zhen Yangzi also sent messages of congratulations.

In the face of the looming disaster, Wanqing’s breakthrough was like a shot in the arm, significantly boosting the morale of our side.

And people like Xiao Cha who were close to her came over directly.

"I knew you little minx would be fine! Mo Heavenly Monarch~ Haha~"

Xiao Cha hugged her tightly and playfully pulled at Wanqing’s cheeks, unable to contain her joy.

Xia Weiyun and the Cat Ears Sisters, who each had their own bonds with Wanqing, were also visibly overjoyed.

Xia Weiyun was particularly moved: the young girl she had casually saved years ago had now grown into a Heavenly Monarch!

She must not become complacent either!

Xia Weiyun immediately said, "I want to break through to Martial Saint now, Lu Li~ would you protect me while I do it?"

Lu Li, stroking Yueru’s cat ears, replied, "No problem, let’s find another dark cloud."

With the Heart Image Blessing, a breakthrough in martial arts would be much safer, and even in the case of failure, it wouldn’t result in death.

Moreover, it was the season of frequent thunderstorms, and it took Lu Li less than 5 minutes flying south with his wives to spot a cumulonimbus cloud.

"This place is perfect. Sister Xia~ I’ll support you."

Lu Li’s thoughts materialized, and the shadow of the Three-headed Demon Dragon emerged, piercing into Xia Weiyun’s body.



Dark matter filled the interstitial spaces between her cells, and Xia Weiyun felt her physical strength double instantly, greatly reducing the difficulty in igniting the Fusion Acupoints!

But it wasn’t over yet, Lu Li reached out to grab onto Xia Weiyun’s enormous watermelon and poured in rolling Golden Flames, blessed with the Immortal Will.

Couple Unity, their Extraordinary Power interchangeable.

The "Martial Saint Thunder Tribulation" could not be said to be as easy as flipping one’s hand, but it wasn’t much harder either; it truly evoked the envy of onlookers.

"I’m going!"

Xia Weiyun didn’t hesitate and flew straight into the dark clouds, welcoming the trial that belonged to her.

Her husband had arranged everything, and she must not let him down; this time, she was determined to ignite all 720 acupoints!

The dark cloud was originally just a pressing mass of black, but as soon as Xia Weiyun approached, it immediately roared with flashing lightning and booming thunder.

Bolts of lightning several dozen kilometers long appeared out of nowhere, striking directly at Xia Weiyun.

And it was one after another, an unceasing cascade of earth-shattering explosions.

But with Lu Li’s blessing and Xia Weiyun’s own relentless training, her foundation was rock-solid.

She quickly used this force of Heaven and Earth to trigger a chain reaction within the acupoints.

One Fusion Acupoint after another lit up, emitting a blazing light; before long, she had surpassed 600.

The strain and pressure on her body were immense, and after all, external support is just that, external.

Gashes split open all over Xia Weiyun’s body, and she soon became drenched in blood.

She clenched her teeth and persisted, allowing the Heavenly Thunder to forge her, vowing to ignite all 720 acupoints.

But when she reached 700, Lu Li suddenly said,

"That’s enough. The remaining 20 will be easy for you to ignite on your own."

Xia Weiyun did not possess Refining God Cultivation, and she was pushing her limits; to continue fighting would be not worth the loss.

She realized this herself, and with her husband speaking up, she stopped insisting and gritted her teeth to leave the Thunderstorm Cloud.

Lu Li reached out into thin air, condensed the moisture in the air into pure water, and helped wash Xia Weiyun’s body clean.

The others also hurried over to offer their congratulations, celebrating the birth of a Female Martial Saint.

Xiao Cha grabbed Lu Li’s hand, saying, "There’s no day like today, I might as well have my breakthrough now."

Lu Li nodded, "You can, but take it easy, and withdraw quickly if something feels wrong."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."

Xiao Cha knew she lacked more than a decade of hard training compared to Sister Xia, so she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to ignite as many as 700.

At that moment, Xingru also said, "My husband, I and my sister would also like to break through as soon as possible and help out as much as we can."

"Then today, our whole family will level up. Let’s go~"

Lu Li flew with his wives to the southeast, where he found suitable dark clouds near Gaoyou Lake.

"I’ll go first!"

Xiao Cha volunteered eagerly, and Lu Li immediately gave her full support.



After nearly an hour of being struck by lightning in the dark clouds, Xiao Cha succeeded in igniting 600 Fusion Acupoints and ascended to become a Martial Saint.

And although Xingru and Yueru were three years younger, as the Four Spirits White Tiger, they too ignited 600 Fusion Acupoints.

Afterwards, they used their "Yang Flame" to catalyze and nurture their bodies to completely stabilize their realm.

The family beamed happily, yet Xiao Cha couldn’t help feeling melancholic, "I actually became a Martial Saint... It’s against the very laws of nature."

Her choice of words wasn’t quite right; she truly found it hard to believe—

A country girl had really become a Martial Saint with immense power? And in less than five years, it felt like a dream.

"Wait a minute, I’m not actually dreaming, am I?"

Xiao Cha secretly pinched her thigh, and it hurt quite a bit.

Lu Li saw her and playfully pinched her buttocks, prompting the girl to swing a punch at him.

The family had not hidden their movements, so the Immortal Palace naturally knew that several more Martial Saints had been added, but they did not take it too much to heart.

Qiu Sheng felt similarly... With the current situation, having any number below that of a Yang God was inconsequential.

Qiu Sheng transmitted a message to Lu Li: [Prepare yourself; I am going to break through in three days.]
