e is not strong enough right now to kill the opponent immediately. However, he can use the opponent to complete the task first, and then find a way to bring this female ghost king back to Longhushan....When ripples heard Doudou's transmission, she knew the soul-devouring flower had digested all the energy of the top-grade spirit stones it absorbed. Now it only needed to cross the tribulation, so she didn't delay. She told the clansmen who were congratulating their parents and then released Doudou.
The moment she appeared, she was targeted by the tribulation thunder. Just as the dark clouds dispersed after Bai Yu Yan's successful tribulation, they gathered again, thicker than before, with rumbles of thunder echoing within, brewing a new and powerful tribulation.
Each petal trembled, unfurling its broad disk like a welcoming embrace for the lightning strike.
Ripples wouldn't just stand idly by and watch the petals be destroyed, so she also set up a defensive formation and quickly retreated to a safe location, keeping a close eye on DuoDuo. If there was any danger, she would activate the formation immediately.
Baishuo and Bai Yuyan stood on either side of Lian Yi, both attentively watching the flower undergoing tribulation. Baishuo spoke first:
"Ripples, where did you find this intelligent bloom"
They are not entirely nonexistent in the demon realm, but they are too rare. There might be one or two that have cultivated to become spirits deep within the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, but they rarely leave their territory.
Because they are like ginseng to demonic cultivators, a great tonic. As long as one plant is obtained and refined, one's cultivation level can be raised by one stage. This is equivalent to thousands of years of their cultivation, so many demonic cultivators flock to them, but very few are truly found.
Now that their daughter has such a plant readily available, it's bound to attract the attention of other demon cultivators. Bai Sheo is more worried about this, so he first asks his daughter for specifics.
Ripple knew what Bai She was worried about, so she didn't deliberately speak softly. She said directly:
This plant was found by me during my travels in the Endless Desert. After it survives the lightning tribulation, I will consume this spirit flower to cultivate my eighth tail.
The fellow tribesmen, ears perked up and listening intently to Ripple's words, twitched their lips but seemed to have quelled some of their intentions.
Bai Yuyan then frowned her pretty willow-shaped eyebrows and whispered:
"Ripples, you're so young, there's no need to rush your cultivation. Cultivation gained through external force is never truly solid. Don't jeopardize your foundation."
Ripple, after hearing this, deliberately lowered her voice and explained:
"Mother, I have thought this through carefully. I have things I must do. Powerful cultivation is just the foundation, but please rest assured, since you went into seclusion, my training has been overseen by father himself. I haven't taken any shortcuts."
"Yu Yan, don't worry, our daughter knows her limits. Besides, she's already the seventh elder of the clan. She has things she needs to do. If you're worried, we'll protect her when the time comes."
Bai Shuo took his wife's hand and said.
Bai Yuyan glared at her husband reproachfully, but didn't say anything more. The occasion wasn't right. She would wait until they returned to their fox den and then ask her husband in detail about what had happened during the years she had been in seclusion.
While the three were talking, the celestial lightning bolt had already fallen. Duo Duo had taken down 39 twenty-seven bolts of heavenly thunder. At this time, petals, leaves, and the flower stem had wilted a bit; at least the exterior looked undamaged.
But the reality was, Duo Duo's cries of pain were echoing in Li'an's vast, rippling sea of consciousness:
"Master, it hurts! It's killing me, Doudou! This is the end! I'm going to be turned to ashes this time! Master...."
"Alright! Stop crying. You have good karma, Heaven can't even turn you into ashes, so save your energy. Lead the lightning around your body, opening up your meridians. This time, you are going to become human!"
"Dodo knows! But...but it really hurts!!"
"Alright, just imagine how beautiful you'd look after transforming into a human. Afterwards, when we go to other dimensions on missions, you could transform into a human and stay by my side. Wouldn't that be great!"
"There are many beautiful fairy skirts and accessories in the space. You can wear them all later. Aren't you already coveting them"
The ripples started to draw big pies for the flowers.
"Dodo knows, Dodo will do her best!"
Dodo's answer was gritted, audible with effort to hold back.
A ripple of amusement touched her lips, and then she continued to point out...
"Duo Duo, after being struck by the Heavenly Thunder, you'll have your own consciousness. The meridians it opened need to be repaired using wood-based spiritual energy. Most importantly, protect your root!"
"Master, the destruction caused by Jie Lei is too fast, and my repair speed is too slow!"
Dodo's voice was all choked up with sobs.
Don't worry, just bring out the power of your merit from within. You don't have to wait for any particular time now.
"That's merit!"
Duo Duo was a little reluctant.
As long as you're alive, you can still make it back.
Ripple stated resolutely.
"Dodo understands."
Immediately, the other members of their tribe saw a little bit of golden light escaping from the scorched flower pistils. It fell on the petals and leaves, some even seeping into the roots along the flower path. Those with sharp eyes had already seen the magical use of this golden light and cast subtle glances at Ripples.
Liàn yī however didn't pay attention to these, only staring at Duo Duo. After the other party was completely enveloped by the white-hot light, Liàn yī immediately reminded through the contract mark:
"Duo Duo, the transformation is beginning. Get ready."
Yes, Master!
As the last nine tribulation thunders fell, this tribulation had entered its final stages. Lian Ri activated the formation to block the last and thickest thunderclap. Until all the white light dissipated, there was a woman curled up in the deep pit created by the tribulation lightning, with not an inch of clothing on her body.
Ripple didn't rush to go and check, but instead she looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were dispersing, but the blessings of Heaven hadn't descended yet. She immediately called out in her sea of consciousness:
"Dodo! Dodo! Wake up! You've already transformed into a human, just one last step left! Dodo!"
Finally, at the beckoning of the ripples, the huddled figure stirred. Her arms twitched, and consciousness slowly returned.
At this time, heaven bestowed a ray of sunlight upon Duo Duo. It slanted downwards, carrying pure wood element spiritual energy. Duo Duo let out a comfortable sigh and instinctively began to devour that pure wood spiritual energy.
This made those who thought the tribulation had failed withdraw their gazes, and then began to congratulate Ripple.
Lian Yi squinted her fox eyes as she dealt with it, but also separated a thread of divine consciousness to watch Duo Duo. Although Duo Duo had transformed into a human form, having been a flower for thousands of years, she still preferred her original form and eventually turned back into red light, returning to Lian Yi's wrist to continue being her bracelet.
After bidding farewell to the clan members, LianYi returned to her own fox den with her parents. Meanwhile, news that two individuals from the Fox Clan had passed through the Six-Fold Thunder Tribulation spread throughout the surrounding areas. However, the clever Fox Clan chose not to clarify that one of them was merely LianYi's spiritual plant.
And the wolf clan also received the news, spending the evening gazing towards the direction of the fox clan, their minds racing with thoughts. They wondered who from the fox clan had advanced in rank this time, if they would be celebrating, and if he had a chance to go see for himself.
He immediately dismissed the thought, after all, he now belonged to the restoration sect. He had just barely cultivated his demonic power and couldn't even transform into his original form, so he didn't have the right to leave the clan territory.ck and drink some ginger tea, you guys should have some too to prevent it."The wooden sword in his hand turned, and ripples spread out.All four nodded, then continued practicing with their swords. Whe...
