148: Chapter 148: Now that we've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?

"This supreme and lofty Imperial Dao aura, surrounded by the world's Luck... Could it be the legendary Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body!?"

"Such formidable talent!!"

"To be able to cross Realms and kill Elder Wan Du in an extremely short time with a mere Nascent Soul Stage eighth level cultivation... Prodigy! This is a Prodigy with the bearing of Immortal Ascension!!"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress felt her heart pounding "thump-thump", she couldn't help but lick her lips, her eyes filled with surprise and greed, staring intently at Ji Taichang!

[Ding! Thousand-Faced Enchantress's favorability has increased by 10 points. You can obtain 10% of Master Xuanyin's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Thousand-Faced Enchantress's favorability: 10 (Surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Kid, as long as you take me as your Revered Master and join the Black Thorn Cult, I can spare your life."

Thousand-Faced Enchantress licked her red lips: "Otherwise... I will control your Soul, play with your body, imprison you by my side as a male pet, day and night extracting your Yang Qi..."

Ji Taichang: "?"

The benefits are done, what about the drawbacks?

"System, claim Master Xuanyin's cultivation!"

Ji Taichang's expression remained calm. While silently reciting this in his heart, he maintained eye contact with Thousand-Faced Enchantress: "Esteemed Fairy, if I take you as my Revered Master, does that mean you won't extract my Yang Qi?"

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 10% of Master Xuanyin's cultivation!]

"Hehe, I was lying. Even if you take me as your Revered Master, your Yang Qi will still be extracted."

Thousand-Faced Enchantress extended a fair finger, gave it a light lick, and said with a charming laugh: "You are a once-in-ten-thousand-eras Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body, supremely Yang and rigid. This is tens of thousands of times stronger than so-called cauldron Physiques. How could I possibly miss out?"

"However, if you take me as your Revered Master, I won't control your Soul. I'll let you immerse yourself wholeheartedly and Cultivate the Dao of Yin and Yang Harmony with me..."

Ji Taichang sighed: "It seems I can't escape this calamity. But I'm curious, Fairy, you appear pure and chaste, why would you Cultivate such a Dao of Yin and Yang Harmony?"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress chuckled lightly, her voice soft and pleasant: "Alright, you little smooth-talker, make your choice. Don't think you can buy time with such rubbish talk."

"I'll only give you five breaths to consider. Five, four, three..."

As an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years, she saw through Ji Taichang's attempt to stall for time at a glance!

"Revered Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Without another word, Ji Taichang decisively followed his heart!

"Good! Very good..."

Seeing this, Thousand-Faced Enchantress was instantly overjoyed, a bewitching and alluring smile spreading across her face.

Even her majestic bosom trembled slightly, outlining a breathtaking curve, seemingly ready to burst forth!

"Come, my obedient disciple."

"Do not resist. Let your Revered Master place the Heart Fox Brand upon your Soul and True Spirit..."

Thousand-Faced Enchantress formed hand seals. A vertical eye opened on her forehead, condensing a pure white mark that drifted towards Ji Taichang's Sea of Consciousness.

Ji Taichang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately retreated: "I have already taken you as my Revered Master, why use such methods?"

"Hehe... Silly disciple, your Revered Master is an Elder of a Demonic Sect!"

"Isn't it perfectly normal to use such underhanded and sinister methods?"

"Be good, don't move..."

Thousand-Faced Enchantress giggled, a mysterious white light glowing in both her eyes.

An invisible yet terrifying Soul fluctuation spread out, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami surging, sweeping towards Ji Taichang!

With her Soul Transformation Stage level seduction art, forcibly controlling a junior at the Nascent Soul Stage eighth level should be effortless...

BOOM!!

Suddenly, an incredibly blazing and terrifying Sword Qi erupted violently, seeming capable of cleaving the Void Realm and splitting heaven and earth, accompanied by a Dragon's roar that shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

This sword strike came too abruptly. Even Thousand-Faced Enchantress was startled, instinctively slapping out with her palm.

Her palm was wreathed in hazy, pure white radiance. Even without exerting her full power, the might of the Void Refinement Stage was terrifying enough. It struck the wuji sword, producing a deafening crash!

Ji Taichang grunted, forced back several steps, the wuji sword in his hand dimming slightly.

"Oh?"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress, however, raised an eyebrow, looking down at her own palm.

On it was a fine sword mark, from which fresh red blood slowly trickled down!

A veteran Void Refinement Stage powerhouse, famous for over a thousand years, had actually been injured by a junior at the Nascent Soul Stage eighth level!!

"Interesting. A mere Nascent Soul Stage eighth level... Huh?!"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress's words were cut off before she could finish!

Her eyes widened slightly, fixed intently on Ji Taichang, immense waves stirring in her heart!

She saw a dazzling golden light erupt from within Ji Taichang's body, bursting forth with endless auspicious clouds, illuminating the entire sky, sacred and majestic!

His cultivation surged level by level, instantly breaking through constraints and stepping into the Soul Transformation Stage!

Rumble—

It was as if a sun was rising from Ji Taichang's chest. The Supreme Sword Bone trembled violently, undergoing a shocking transformation, unleashing endless Sword Intent!

His Nascent Soul, Soul, and bodily Origin fused together, transforming into a Primordial Spirit!

The Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body boiled and transformed completely, causing endless starlight to appear in the heavens above. That incredibly blazing Polaris descended with purple light, resonating with Ji Taichang and merging into his body!

Behind Ji Taichang, the phantom of the Ziwei Enclosure star chart appeared. Three hundred and sixty-five main stars lit up one by one, with the Emperor Star shining the brightest. It transformed into the phantom of an emperor wearing a flat-topped crown, looking exactly like Ji Taichang—this was his Dharma Idol!!

That Dharma Idol was clad in a starry sword robe, wore an emperor's crown, held the Big Dipper in its left hand and an intangible Dao sword in its right, like the legendary Human Emperor descending!

Not only that.

Deafening rumbles came from the heavens above. Thick tribulation clouds gathered, shrouding the sky, transforming into a terrifying Lightning Tribulation!

"This is... the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!!"

"Impossible!"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress couldn't help but exclaim in shock, retreating three steps in astonishment!

The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was a legendary Lightning Tribulation.

Generally speaking, it only appeared when attempting the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!

But Ji Taichang had just broken through to the Soul Transformation Stage. How could he attract such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation?

Even the Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body shouldn't be this extreme, right??

Before she could figure out the answer, Ji Taichang suddenly grinned and charged straight towards her with large strides!

"My dear Revered Master, accompany me in Undergoing Tribulation!"

"Hehehe—"

Ji Taichang let out a wild, unrestrained laugh.

Thunderclaps shook heaven and earth from the sky above, transforming into streaks of purple heavenly lightning that crashed down. That destructive aura caused Thousand-Faced Enchantress's expression to change drastically!

"Madman!!"

"If you drag me into the Lightning Tribulation, it will trigger a Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation at the Void Refinement Stage level. Then both of us will die!"

"Don't come over here—"

Thousand-Faced Enchantress was actually so frightened that she turned and fled!

During the process of Undergoing Tribulation, if a powerful being intervenes, the Lightning Tribulation will directly escalate to the Realm of the intervening party, locking onto them and forcing them to undergo the tribulation together!

Thousand-Faced Enchantress could not withstand a Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation at the Void Refinement Stage level!!
