Chapter 538 She is moving forward
The fiery phoenix, formed from raging flames, spread its wings, its golden tail feathers slicing through the inky sky, and charged towards the tribulation lightning with a clear cry.
As if sensing the provocation, the lightning bolts surged violently in an instant.
However, the fire phoenix was not afraid at all. Not only did it not slow down, but a mocking look flashed across its golden eyes in a human-like manner.
It was precisely this fleeting emotion that led the well-informed Langhuan group to misunderstand.
Someone whispered, "I was wondering why the phoenix suddenly appeared... it was that magical artifact from before..."
Langhuan said, "It seems that this magical artifact has also come to life, and it has actually taken the initiative to appear and protect its master."
"This fire phoenix incarnation alone is like a real phoenix descending. I wonder what kind of demeanor the first owner of this magical artifact possessed to be able to subdue the phoenix and obtain its feathers."
While everyone was keeping an eye on whether Honglian had appeared, they couldn't help but look at the fire phoenix battling the heavenly lightning.
To their surprise, strange patterns appeared on the throat and neck of the fire phoenix that was traveling through the thunderclouds, and in the next instant, it actually swallowed the tribulation lightning of the Nine Heavens!
In an instant, purple lightning, like a dragon, lit up the body of the fire phoenix, which was made of golden flames, and stars intertwined with lightning and fire burst out from the gaps in its feathers.
However absurd its actions may have been, it did manage to block the fourth tribulation lightning!
Yun Yici had guessed some of it; the phoenix hairpin that the emperor had given her was the core of the fire phoenix's incarnation, and it was inside its body.
Only by swallowing lightning into its body can its weapon be tempered.
This indicates that the phoenix hairpin sent to her by imperial decree already possessed some intelligence.
Yun Yici breathed a sigh of relief. She transmitted her voice to Huo Feng: "I'm prepared. If you can't hold on, come down anytime! Do what you can!"
The fire phoenix, having swallowed a bolt of tribulation lightning, seemed to have gained its master's approval and sang softly with joy.
Unlike the long cry that was enough to shake the four seas and eight wastelands before, it was more like a soft chirping sound full of affection rolling out of the throat.
This scene made Langhuan and the others feel a little envious. The things were good, but Yun Yici was too young.
Yun Yici ignored the gazes directed at her.
Lightning and storms are her best cover.
She summoned the Huai Chuan sword: "Huai Chuan, you too."
The sword of Huai Chuan rang out, ready to strike: "Don't worry, Xiao Ci, I can block as many attacks as I want."
She trusted Shen Huaichuan, who had worked with her for so many years and constantly refined it with the best materials.
Yun Yici said, "It's impossible to block it entirely with external objects. I'm prepared. I'll be with you. Trust me."
The sword spirit of Huaichuan responded, quietly being held in her arms as she watched the fire phoenix swallow another bolt of tribulation lightning in the sky.
After the lightning struck, the Fire Phoenix's form showed signs of disintegration.
Yun Yici made a hand seal, and the wind moved with her will, catching the falling phoenix hairpin in the first instant and steadily dragging it to her eyes.
At this point, the phoenix hairpin was unrecognizable, with a faint lightning pattern still flashing amidst the charred blackness.
Fortunately, it did not crack, and the newly formed artifact spirit should still be alive.
Yun Yici carefully put it back into her storage bag with a pained expression.
Huai Chuan Sword Spirit said, "I'm going."
As Yun Yici soared into the sky on her sword, Qinglian consciously severed all other living roots, leaving only one quietly attached to her sea of consciousness.
No longer needing to exert effort to support the other incarnations, the power of the Azure Lotus was finally concentrated.
Even if their mental capacity cannot match that of an adult in the short term, they have at least figured out what happened.
His fate was closely intertwined with that of the Red Lotus, as the cultivators of the Lotus Pond constantly exploited the spiritual energy he absorbed.
At this critical moment, Yun Yici was willing to risk his life to help, so how could he possibly back down in fear?
In a short while, the sixth tribulation lightning arrived. The sword patterns on Huaichuan Sword lit up, and the sword intent transformed into a visible frost-white color. The wind and tide sweeping across the world collided with the tribulation lightning, and lightning flashed everywhere.
Yun Yici gasped; this was her first direct confrontation with the tribulation lightning.
The destructive power of the tribulation lightning was largely reduced by the wind and the Huai River, but some purple lightning still managed to penetrate her protective aura.
The meridians spasmed violently, making even breathing difficult.
On the contrary, her will became increasingly clear.
Remembering Yun Yici's instructions, Qinglian no longer focused on repairing her body, but instead steadily protected her sea of consciousness.
Being in the eye of the storm, Yun Yici didn't have time to express her gratitude. She quickly calmed herself down and focused on welcoming the remaining three lightning tribulations with Huai Chuan.
The seventh lightning bolt descended, its immense impact almost equal to the previous two.
Yun Yici walked through the air, slashing at the violent tribulation lightning with his sword.
The sight of this sword made Yao Chi, who was guarding outside, gasp in surprise, fearing that she might attract lightning and injure herself.
Langhuan and others, needless to say, felt that she was too arrogant.
When people are undergoing tribulations, they try to avoid lightning strikes; few have heard of anyone actually being struck by lightning.
Unexpectedly, when Huai Chuan pointed his sword at the sky, the sword energy swirled and transformed into a ferocious, living dragon, which forcefully cleaved the tribulation lightning in two!
Fine streaks of lightning danced through the female swordsman's ink-black hair, yet her movements remained nimble and agile!
"Just two more and I'll successfully overcome the tribulation," Langhuan murmured unconsciously.
Successfully transcending the tribulation signifies Mahayana enlightenment, which in their Earthly Spirit Realm means gaining the ability to enter the Lotus Pond and stand on equal footing with them.
And how old is Yun Yici?
At this moment, the Dao hearts of Langhuan and the others were stirred.
Why did they retreat to the lotus pond?
Because from beginning to end! For thousands of years! No one has ever successfully ascended to immortality!
They enjoy a supreme status, and they are unwilling to repeat the same mistakes, forgetting that the path of cultivation is essentially about defying fate!
If we do not strive, a person's lifespan is no more than a hundred years.
They have gone far away, and along with the mortals and genius cultivators of their generation, they have all returned to the earth.
The more difficult the journey, the more unwilling they are to become nothing more than a handful of dust in the eyes of future generations.
Yun Yici was the one who came later, but she would eventually surpass them.
Gazing at that figure locked in a stalemate with the Heavenly Dao, the immortals of the Lotus Pond were bewildered.
