199: Chapter 199 Beware of Qi Deviation if You Stop Cultivation Midway

Mo Zixing reached out and scratched the fluffy fox tail wrapped around his waist.

The soft fur brushed against his palm, feeling scalding hot to the touch:

"That's right, you are about to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage."

He nodded and said with a smile.

"But... I'm not ready yet!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Hu Jiuying became even more worried about the safety of her fox body and struggled desperately to break free from his embrace:

"You can't... you can't just Breakthrough like this!"

But because she was far too nervous.

The more she tried to struggle, the tighter the tense Meridians inside her body contracted.

The spiritual energy entwined between the two was caught in the middle, leaving them completely unable to move.

Even the slightest movement sent a tingling sensation through them.

Mo Zixing let go of her tail and instead began to gently pinch the fox ears trembling atop her head:

"Don't move around, stopping Cultivation midway risks Qi Deviation."

His voice was deep and softly soothing:

"Besides, haven't you noticed? You haven't consumed any Heaven And Earth Treasure from start to finish; condensing the Golden Core relies entirely on my efforts."

Mo Zixing shook his head, half-jokingly trying to scare her:

"If you insist on stopping now, all previous efforts will be wasted, and the Golden Core will collapse directly."

"But... but the Lightning Tribulation is about to come!"

Hu Jiuying's voice still carried a hint of a sob.

She looked up at the rolling dark clouds outside the window and saw the purple lightning glowing brighter and brighter:

"How could I possibly have the focus to withstand the Lightning Tribulation like this!"

"That is where you are wrong."

Mo Zixing shook his head gently and kissed her:

"Isn't that why I'm here? Relax, just follow your instincts."

"Come, take the initiative yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Hu Jiuying felt a familiar wave of heat rising from the depths of her heart once more.

The Beast Contract Seal and the resonance of her Bloodline activated simultaneously.

Her body, once again beyond her own control, reached out and hugged Mo Zixing even tighter.

Her three large, fluffy tails wrapped around his waist, squeezing him until he could barely breathe.

"No... don't..."

Hu Jiuying tried desperately to restrain herself, but her body instead began to absorb his spiritual energy even more actively.

One second.

Her own tails pushed her to forcibly create a little distance.

But immediately after.

They mercilessly stuffed her back into Mo Zixing's embrace.

Amidst this repeated back-and-forth.

Her whimpers turned into irrepressible gasps, spilling uncontrollably from her lips.

In such a tense situation with the Lightning Tribulation looming overhead, extreme shame and fear only made her senses become incredibly sharp.

Every nourishment of spiritual energy brought an impact a hundred times stronger than before.

Hu Jiuying's consciousness became increasingly muddled, her vision blacking out in waves, and she could only subconsciously cling to the person in front of her.

Mo Zixing originally wanted to pull up the system panel to see if he needed to do anything.

But instead, he found himself stirred up by her out-of-control state.

He simply set aside other thoughts and proactively began to circulate the spiritual energy within his body.

The spiritual energy clashed violently within her Meridians, transforming into a purer force that washed over the embryonic Golden Core in her Dantian.

"Mmm-oh-oh-oh-oh..."

Hu Jiuying lifted her little head bit by bit, her entire body, along with her ears and tails, going rigid.

The Golden Core in her Dantian, bearing the patterns of Mo Zixing's spiritual energy, gradually took shape under the impact of this force.

The surface of the round Golden Core shimmered with a faint golden light, emitting a powerful aura.

But the Lightning Tribulation would not be delayed because of this.

On the contrary.

As the formation of the Golden Core accelerated, the tribulation clouds in the sky also grew more violent bit by bit.

Purple lightning twisted crazily within the clouds, emitting deafening roars.

The entire Holy Temple was trembling slightly.

Boom!

A thick bolt of purple Heavenly Dao lightning, carrying immense might, struck down forcefully from the clouds.

The lightning crashed straight down toward the two.

Smashing the roof of the Holy Temple to pieces.

Mo Zixing turned over and shielded Hu Jiuying beneath him.

He casually condensed a golden spiritual energy barrier while circulating the spiritual energy within his body even more vigorously.

The Heavenly Dao lightning struck the barrier fiercely, producing a deafening roar.

The golden barrier shook slightly but did not develop any cracks.

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow.

This Lightning Tribulation was quite powerful.

Just the first probing strike of the Lightning Tribulation was already comparable to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core of an ordinary Cultivator.

Could it be because of Hu Jiuying's race?

Mo Zixing shook his head, his eyes remaining calm.

The first Lightning Tribulation wasn't weak, and there were still several more to come; they would likely get stronger one after another.

He looked down at Hu Jiuying in his arms, whose eyes were rolling back and who was about to lose consciousness, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

But it didn't matter.

As long as he was here, he would never let anything happen to her.

Almost at the same time.

Ling Lin's ethereal voice rang out in his mind:

"Master, do you need my help?"

"No."

Mo Zixing responded calmly:

"Stay outside and don't let anything else come in to disturb us."

"Understood."

A faint sword hum came from outside the main hall, responding to his command.

Mo Zixing looked up at the sky.

He saw the lightning in the clouds becoming even more violent.

The second Lightning Tribulation was already poised to strike.
