Chapter 100 What are you thinking about?
"Don't worry, don't worry, you are a thunder dragon, so you'll be tempered by heavenly thunder." The Dragon King sighed inwardly, realizing that the low-level body tempering thunder zone he had painstakingly prepared for him had been wasted.

Fortunately, when they grow up, they can go to Thunder Island to train their bodies.

Just as the Dragon King was telling the Little Dragon King about the changes in the Taiyuan Realm, Shen Suiren was discovered by Niao Niao's divine sense as soon as he left the cave.

Before she could swim over, she transmitted her voice: "Quickly get ashore and find everyone to set up the formation for the Heavenly Tribulation."

“Many people don’t know how.” After Niao Niao finished speaking, Jue Xing also flew over and said, “Cheng Zhishun wants to take back the Thunder Spirit Fruit, so many people choose to leave.”

"Hmph, they only come when there's something to gain, and run away quickly when there's nothing to gain."

“That’s normal. You guys go up and choose your positions, and I’ll ask the Dragon King for more people.” At least get the seventh-rank people from the other side of the mountain to come and help set up the formation.

Shen Suiren's idea is good, but...

The Dragon King said, "Those who are teleported to the seventh rank can only be released after completing the mission."

Shen Suiren reasonably speculated: "Actually, we were able to get out of the Thunder Zone with the Fifth Order only after we finished harvesting the Thunder Spirit Fruit, right?"

"Correct."

"You don't control the array plate of the central array?" Shen Suiren was extremely surprised by this straightforward answer.

The Dragon King was flustered, and his tone instantly turned somber: "If I had any, I would have no need to let you come to the island to take advantage of me."

"Enough with the rambling, get to the formation quickly."

"At the beginning of the year, the Dragon King's true form was in another realm. He said he would return again, so he handed over the Little Dragon King and the array plate that had recognized him to the array master.

This is now her clone, a clone that has fallen to a lower rank. "At 9 AM, he only dared to communicate with her through the contracted soul."

Even with her rank dropping, she can suppress a group of Nascent Soul and Ninth Rank cultivators; it's best not to provoke her.

"This junior will go set up the formation now, but the key still depends on the Little Dragon King himself."

"The pills can be taken during the tribulation." Shen Suiren quickly presented three Great Rejuvenation Pills and five Top-Grade Divine Harmony Pills, and then swiftly took his leave.

Little Dragon King, please survive this tribulation safely, or the Great Dragon King will go mad.

As soon as she flew out of the lake, the cultivators who remained surrounded her. "At the beginning of the year, we only practiced setting up the array flags when we were doing our homework for the tribulation-crossing array, but we never actually set it up ourselves."

No matter how skilled a Foundation Establishment cultivator is at learning formations, selling trapping and killing formations is no problem, but no one will ask them to set up tribulation-crossing formations or sect-protecting formations.

Just like this time when the Lü Lü Pavilion repaired the sect's protective array, at most they used Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine the array materials.

"The Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation is no small matter. The array we set up probably won't even survive two bolts of tribulation lightning."

"We can't take this job at the beginning of the year," Jiang Xiaoye advised her.

Shen Suiren sighed, "It's the Dragon King's nephew in human form. If we don't set up the formation as she requested, we're afraid we won't be able to escape."

She took out the top-grade jade that Ao Jian had broken in a fit of anger, and said, "Uncle Jiang, fellow Daoists, let's use the top-grade spiritual jade as the base and the lightning-struck wood as the auxiliary to set up the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation."

The Dragon King is providing top-grade spirit stones to fill the array's core; those who know how, please follow me.

Cheng Zhishun immediately recognized them as the top-grade spiritual items from the Dragon King's small storeroom.

He took out the Thunder Control Plate, saying, "My formation is slightly inferior, but this might be able to block two waves of lightning."

Then he brought out a pile of jade boxes: "The recovered Thunder Spirit Fruit is just right for taking during the tribulation."

"And I also have my Four Symbols Upper Yuan Array Plate, which can at least hold off one wave." Juexing didn't try to be brave and offered up the high-level array plate given to him by his master.

The cultivators who stay in a team are either from the same sect, have a good relationship with the group, or have to repay a favor.

Moreover, everyone overheard the Dragon King giving instructions about a mission at the beginning of the year, and they speculated that teaming up with her would yield greater profits.

Therefore, even though the formation was not very powerful, the cultivator took out a useful defensive magic weapon and let the transformed Dragon King use it.

The only fox spirits left behind did so because the Little Fox King was there and dared not leave without his orders.

Shen Suiren readily accepted all comers, and then led those skilled in formations swiftly toward the mountaintop chosen by Niao Niao.

She wanted to create a lightning rod-style formation, but unfortunately, she didn't have any sharp black iron on hand.

The Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams formation is not difficult for cultivators. As long as they have the materials, a little over a quarter of an hour is enough for them to carve the runes onto several pieces of spirit jade and bury the array.

As the battle began, Shen Suiren notified the Dragon King at the hour of Si (9-11 AM).

Before the Dragon King left his underwater palace, the little Dragon King Ao Jian appeared and was instantly locked onto by a sky full of lightning.

It flew to the mountaintop at the hour of Si (9-11 AM), took the array plates and pills given to it at the beginning of the year, and then swallowed more than a dozen golden-purple Thunder Spirit Fruits.

With a sweet, childlike voice, he solemnly promised, "After I take human form, I will reward you handsomely, and all the cultivators present will receive a share."

"The Dragon King is mighty!" The young Foundation Establishment cultivators cheered enthusiastically.

As Ao Jian proudly raised his head, lightning illuminated the dark clouds, and thunder was already rumbling and gathering momentum.

Shen Suiren and the other cultivators flew away quickly, otherwise they would be included in the tribulation lightning and struck as those who were subject to the tribulation.

Once it fully opened its dantian, the overwhelming tribulation lightning arrived as promised.

Ao Jian was originally a thunder dragon, and like a newborn calf, it roared and swirled within the formation. It watched as the heavenly lightning struck the tribulation-crossing formation, but after only three and a half bolts of lightning, the formation was destroyed.

So the fourth lightning bolt struck it squarely, and it howled in pain as it flew away. But the fifth lightning bolt followed, and it didn't even have time to throw anything to block it.

This scene was witnessed by all the demons and cultivators on the island.

While everyone was astonished to see a dragon undergoing tribulation, some Core Formation cultivators who were not trapped in the formation desperately tried to rush over on their swords, only to be trapped in other formations along the way, leaving them only to sigh in vain at the sight of the dragon.

Meanwhile, Lei Dun and the others on the other side of the mountain, although close by, had not yet completed their planting tasks and could not leave the spirit field to observe closely.

"This is a transformation tribulation. It looks more powerful than a dragon. Could it be a real dragon?" Fan Liyue couldn't help but rub his eyes.

As Lei Dun nodded, Lian Qiao, who was in the distance, gleamed with cold light and stared intently at Lei Jie: "It's actually a real dragon."

As a true dragon, Ao Jian was quite capable. Aside from his initial panic, after adapting to the lightning strikes, he actually traversed the clouds and tribulation clouds, carefully sensing and absorbing the lightning power.

When the mountaintops were flattened by lightning, he deliberately faced wave after wave of lightning.

The Dragon King nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

Meanwhile, far down the mountain, many cultivators who were witnessing the Transformation Tribulation up close for the first time sat down silently to feel the immense power of heaven and earth.

Juexing scratched his bald head: "Does it no longer need the array plate? Can we find it later?"

"What are you thinking about? This is only the seventh question, the eighth one. There are still twenty-eight questions to go." Cheng Zhishun seemed uncomfortable unless he felt a little uneasy.

Shen Suiren looked at the sky, then at the young dragon leaping happily in the tribulation lightning, and said uncertainly, "Don't you guys feel that the tribulation clouds in the sky are getting thinner?"

"Really?" Several cultivators asked in confusion.

Then the ninth bolt of lightning struck swiftly, and the clouds and thunder dissipated.

Ao Jian, who was flapping in mid-air, immediately straightened his dragon body. "Where's Lei?"

Then, countless streams of spiritual energy descended from the sky, all falling upon the little dragon king. In the blink of an eye, its body crackled and popped as it was instantly cocooned by the spiritual energy.

"Nine paths! There are only nine paths at Si Shi!" The little fox king couldn't wait to fly out of the spirit beast bracelet, grabbing Si Shi and shouting excitedly.

They too survived from ancient times; could they also transform into human form after nine tribulations of lightning? Shen Suiren and her companions exchanged bewildered glances. This was different from what they had learned. Looking at the cloudless sky, only a single red sun was about to disappear.

"Is Heaven so biased?" someone finally asked.

Just then, raindrops began to fall, and someone said, "Lingyu, forget about whether Heaven is biased or not, let's take advantage of this opportunity first."

Indeed, everyone quickly put on a protective talisman and sat down to absorb the gifts of heaven and earth.

Cheng Zhishun heard the Dragon King's telepathic message asking him to protect him, so he didn't cultivate together.

He also knew that the demon race had just finished their tribulation and were in the process of transforming into human form, making them the weakest they were.

Shen Suiren didn't move either. She stared intently at the spiritual cocoon still floating in mid-air: "Little Fox King, how long will it take to successfully transform?"

"Ah, it's almost there, shall we get a closer look?" The Little Fox King had never transformed into human form.

"Let's go." Shen Suiren released the bird feathers and flew towards the mountain with the three little ones and Cheng Zhishun.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, in the spirit field where Lei Dun and the others were located, the rice seeds that had just been planted sprouted and emerged from the soil rapidly because of this wave of spiritual rain.

The Core Formation cultivators stopped watching the Dragon King transform and scrambled to divide and replant the seedlings. As soon as the last seedling stood firm, they were immediately ejected by the Spirit Field Formation.

Everyone was determined to fly towards the spirit cocoon in mid-air, but then they heard the Dragon King order them to stop.

But some of the bolder cultivators did not stop.

The cultivator's flying sword was incredibly fast. She tried her best to stop it, and the Youyue Cat Soul in her soul ring was almost scared to death: "Que Yi, are you crazy! That's the True Dragon King."

"It wasn't me." Just as Que was about to retreat, the Dragon King's divine sense attack arrived in an instant, and her soul trembled as she fell from her flying sword to the mountainside.

At this moment, Shen Suiren quickly arrived at the Little Dragon King's spirit cocoon, while Cheng Zhishun released his flying sword to protect the other side.

Lei Dun and the other cultivators from the Immortal Travel Sect who had reached the Core Formation stage all looked at Shen Suiren, but they didn't dare to ask her questions telepathically at this moment.

At this moment, the Dragon King became enraged: "If you want to die, I will grant your wish."

"Dragon King, spare my life! I was intimidated by your power, which caused my flying sword to go out of control." Que Yi endured the shock to his soul and tried his best to suppress the real Shen Manqi, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Is that so?" In the past, the Dragon King would not have listened to her explanation, but unfortunately, his magic power was no longer there, and the divine sense attack he had just used up a lot of energy.

"Yes, this junior dares to swear an oath to the Dragon King that I would never dare to disrespect him." Que Yizhi does not have a physical body and is temporarily sharing one with another.

They're not brainless; how dare they, with their Core Formation cultivation, harm someone's cub in the territory of a high-level Dragon King?

Judging from the situation just now, the Little Dragon King's rank should be at the ninth level, so she can't kill him. "Lian Qiao of the Taiyi Sect and fellow Daoists can testify for this junior."

However, many of the Core Formation cultivators who came with her remained silent. Some of them secretly glanced at Lian Qiao, remembering that this female cultivator had helped her harvest some seeds earlier.

Lian Qiao did not remain silent, but instead bowed with one hand: "Please forgive me, Dragon King. My newly formed teammate is only a Core Formation cultivator and has no intention of offending you, Little Dragon King."

Fellow Daoists, you can bear witness for us. We humbly request your forgiveness.

With her stepping forward, the Core Formation cultivators could no longer remain silent and all echoed her sentiments, fearing that they might be blamed for their actions.

“She’s lying,” the Little Fox King told Shen Suiren in his mind’s eye. “The kneeling female cultivator is the one who secretly left her courtyard last night.”

I followed her all the way, but somehow the female cultivator discovered me and cunningly led me to the Clam Mother.

Originally, it was the female cultivator who attacked the clam spirit, but after escaping using the teleportation jade talisman, I ended up being bitten by the clam mother.

Moreover, I just saw that the Taiyi Sect cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage land a talisman on the female cultivator's flying sword.

"Are you sure the female cultivator is the person you were following?"

"determine."

So Shen Suiren took the initiative to share the burden of the Dragon King, who was pretending to be thinking, saying, "Dragon King, it must really be an accident. Why don't we let her offer her wealth to calm the little Dragon King's nerves?"

She hadn't seen the female cultivator clearly just now, and disguise was too common in the cultivation world to be a reliable standard for identification.

But the other person's urgent voice sounded somewhat familiar; I'll have to observe their posture later.

"This junior is willing to offer up all her possessions." Upon hearing this, the female cultivator swiftly removed her visible storage tools, since she had plenty of hidden items anyway.

The Dragon King then said, "I'll spare your life, now get lost."

"Yes, yes." The female cultivator got up, bent down to pick up her sword, and retreated.

Shen Suiren jumped off the bird feather and deliberately approached her. Taking advantage of her nervousness, he quietly released two eavesdropping puppets: "Senior, flying swords are also part of your wealth."

The female cultivator stiffened slightly, then quickly dropped her sword and left. Lian Qiao thought for a moment, took a deep look at Shen Suiren, and then bid farewell to the Dragon King before chasing after him.

Shen Suiren watched the female cultivator's figure disappear before grabbing his storage tools and flying sword. He then smiled and cupped his hands towards Lei Dun and the others, saying, "Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle, we disciples from various sects have teamed up to take on the mission of protecting the Little Dragon King."

The Core Formation cultivators had already noticed a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators meditating by the lake, with the Dragon King present, but they didn't say anything.

I only request that I may perceive the rules of heaven and earth that I just witnessed.

Seeing that Shen Suiren had gone to discuss something with her senior uncles and even set up a soundproof barrier, the Dragon King transmitted his voice to Cheng Zhishun: "Are they all trustworthy?"

"Not bad. With you here, they dare not make any moves." Cheng Zhishun looked at the still-falling spiritual rain. As expected of a dragon, the spiritual rain after the tribulation was more abundant than others.

The Dragon King granted the request of the Core Formation cultivators, and then saw that Sui Chu was still there communicating telepathically, but it was unclear what he was saying.

Looking at the three little demons, they were still guarding outside the barrier, showing no awareness of their demonic nature.

Shen Suiren was, of course, referring to the departing female cultivator. "Uncle-Master Lei, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, and the fact that she was able to discover the Little Fox King means she's definitely not a simple rogue cultivator."

Why don't you use your lightning power to go through her things?

"Since you and your senior brother both think she looks familiar."

"She must have met someone after leaving the sect, someone who left a special impression on her." Fan Liyue didn't believe the reason why the female cultivator's flying sword went out of control.

"It could only be at the Great Buddha Temple." Lei Dun ran an electric shock through the object but found nothing unusual.

Shen Suiren's heart skipped a beat: "Shen Manqi! It must be her who ran away and hid among the rogue cultivators."

She couldn't say who the female cultivator Lian Zi Zhenjun met was, but she could say this: "Before my senior uncle received me, I was intercepted by the demon soul of Youyue Anmao, but fortunately, I was protected by three little demon kings."

"Once the demon's spirit escapes, it will surely return to her side. I shouldn't have let her go."

"Is that so? Why didn't you say so at the time?"

"Fine, I'll go after her." Lei Dun was about to take action.

Fan Liyue quickly stopped him: "Senior brother, she and Lian Qiao are together, and we don't know where they've flown off to."
"Why not ask the Dragon King at the beginning of the year, so that we can be more targeted in our approach?"

"Li Yue, send a message to Lian Qiao and see if she replies with her location." Xun Gui, Lu, and Wan, though not familiar with Sui Chu, joined the discussion after hearing many details from last night.

"Lianqiao has a deep-seated disdain for people."

"Today, I suddenly allowed this female cultivator to approach me and form a team. Could it be a scheme they devised after meeting in private?"

"No wonder she chased after her just now. It turns out she already knew the female cultivator's identity. It seems the Taiyi Sect intends to protect her in secret."

"What if it's not Shen Manqi?"

Several people looked at Sui Chu and Lei Dun to confirm, and the two nodded one after the other: "It's most likely her."
