Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 206

Shi Qinghan swung his sword, and the sword light transformed into a silver streak that pierced towards the Azure Wolf, the sword energy shooting straight into the Azure Wolf's eyes.

The wolf, in pain, became even more frenzied and chaotic in its attacks. Mo Yu seized the opportunity and, together with Shi Qinghan, unleashed a powerful combined attack, sending a surge of spiritual energy towards the wolf.

The wolf was unable to dodge in time and was struck in the abdomen, falling heavily to the ground.

No one dared to slacken their efforts, and they all followed up with another attack, finally killing the wolf.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Shihan stepped forward to examine the corpse of the wolf and was pleasantly surprised to find a crystal-clear inner core inside the wolf's body.

“These inner cores will also greatly benefit our contracted beasts. If we collect more, we can give them some later. Their increased strength will be a great help to us,” Gu Shihan said.

“You’re right, girl! Even my Long Teng is tempted!” Shi Qinghan chimed in.

“Shi Han, can we let them participate in the battle? We didn’t have Immortal Elixir before, but now we do, and they’ve almost completed their transformation. Real combat is the best training, and it should be the same for them as well,” Nangong Yi said.

"That's right! How could I forget about them? I'll release them now and let them do what they want!" Mo Jian said with a smile.

"Whoosh!" All the big guys left the contract space. Gu Shihan only released Xiao Hei, while Yu Tong was still asleep.

Seeing the spirit pets in excellent spirits, the group exchanged smiles, feeling even more confident.

Their initial victory boosted their confidence, and they now plan to venture deeper into the Canglang Mountains to seek more opportunities to enhance their strength.

The group arrived at the central area of ​​the Canglang Mountain Range, a place generally only accessible to Nascent Soul cultivators for training, given the formidable strength of the immortal beasts.

Gu Shihan looked at everyone and said, "Let's settle down here. The immortal beasts here are quite strong, so we need to be extra careful. You can form teams and travel together with your partners. Siqi and I will cover for you. We won't help you unless it's a matter of life and death."

"Understood! We'll get to it right away!" Nangong Yi said with a smile.

With many hands making light work, they quickly dug out two caves and settled down. Gu Shihan then set up a defensive and concealment array around the caves.

The men were given one cave and the women another, and they were quickly settled in.

"Shi Han, is the time array disc finished?" Duan Siqi asked.

"Alright! Take these and distribute them to everyone!" Gu Shihan nodded and took out several array plates.

Duan Siqi also took out the talismans she had drawn during this period, eight in total, including one for Gu Shihan.

The group of nine stayed in the Canglang Mountains for a year, and their achievements were remarkable.

Shi Qinghan has a mustard seed space, and his cultivation level is the highest among them, reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Mo Yu, Situ Tinglang, and Gu Jiahui have all successfully transformed into Nascent Soul cultivators. Wen Xin, Mo Jian, and Nangong Yi are all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and only need a catalyst to transform into Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for Gu Shihan's cultivation level, it was even higher. She was already at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, just one step away from transcending the tribulation and entering the Mahayana stage.

Duan Siqi was slightly less advanced, but she had still entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making her a god-like being in the mortal realm of the First Heaven.

In short, the strength of the group of nine has undergone a tremendous change, and they can be considered a small but powerful group in this mortal realm.

Just as everyone was basking in the joy of their increased strength, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a chilling wind swept through...

Gu Shihan was startled; such celestial phenomena often foreshadowed impending danger.

"Everyone be careful, something big is about to happen. Prepare for battle!" Gu Shihan shouted a warning.

A cloud of black mist rolled in from afar, from which a sinister laugh could be faintly heard. "Haha, I'm in good luck today, encountering so many fresh cultivators, perfect for me to absorb, so my cultivation can rise to another level." A malevolent voice echoed in the air.

"He must be an evil cultivator! And his strength is considerable!" Mo Yu's expression turned grave. Everyone immediately assumed fighting stances.

Gu Shihan formed hand seals and chanted incantations, creating a powerful barrier that enveloped everyone.

Duan Siqi then threw out several attack talismans towards the black mist.

The evil cultivator in the black mist seemed unconcerned about these attacks, easily dodging them before accelerating forward.

Shi Qinghan and Mo Yu drew their swords, leaped forward, and confronted the evil cultivator head-on.

However, the evil cultivator was very strong, and after a few moves, Shi Qinghan and Mo Yu were at a disadvantage.

At the critical moment, Gu Shihan mobilized all her immortal spiritual power, gathering it at the tip of the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword, which transformed into a beam of red light that shot towards the evil cultivator.

The evil cultivator, whose mind had been distracted by Shi Qinghan for several days, was caught off guard and suffered a severe injury, letting out a roar of anger.

Having succeeded in their attack, the others unleashed their strongest moves to assault the evil cultivator.

After a fierce battle, the evil cultivators were finally eliminated. Everyone was exhausted, but they also realized that they still needed to become stronger in this realm to deal with unknown dangers.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Shihan felt the immortal spiritual power surging within her body. Was she about to advance to the next level?

"I'm about to undergo my tribulation!" Gu Shihan quickly flew on her sword towards the tribulation site she had chosen long ago, where she had already set up a lightning-avoiding formation.

"Junior sister, don't worry, we'll protect you!" Mo Yu said.

"Okay! Thank you for your help!" Gu Shihan quickly landed in the formation, sat cross-legged, adjusted her breathing, and prepared to face the lightning tribulation.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, a strong wind howled, and silver lightning flashed and darted through the black clouds.

The first lightning bolt struck down with earth-shattering force, hitting the lightning-avoiding formation hard. The formation flickered a few times and barely managed to withstand it.

Immediately following, the second and third lightning tribulations struck, and cracks gradually appeared in the lightning-avoiding formation. Gu Shihan gritted her teeth and persevered, guiding her immortal spiritual power to resist the power of the lightning tribulations.

Everyone watched nervously, while Xingbai whispered encouragement from the side: "Hanhan, you can definitely do it." Just as the lightning-avoiding formation was about to collapse, Gu Shihan suddenly opened her eyes, and her body emitted a dazzling light.

She actually broke through the lightning-avoiding formation and faced the lightning tribulation head-on. Everyone was shocked, but then they saw Gu Shihan raise her hand and wave it, and a mysterious rune appeared, destroying most of the lightning tribulation.

Gu Shihan actually absorbed the remaining lightning tribulation into her body and began to use the lightning tribulation to temper her body.

The eighty-one lightning tribulations passed, but in reality, these lightning tribulations only looked terrifying; they were much gentler on Gu Shihan.

The thunderclouds dissipated, revealing a sky full of colorful clouds, with rays of light shining across the horizon, as if celestial music were playing.

"It's a success! Hanhan did it!" Xingbai exclaimed in delight.

"Junior sister is amazing!"

"Yes, Shi Han is amazing!"

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy. Gu Shihan's face was filled with a confident smile. She quickly changed her clothes and opened her arms to welcome the blessing of heaven.

The five-colored rain began to fall gently, and Shi Qinghan and the others rushed into the rain to begin their meditation and cultivation.
