Chapter 228 Overcoming the Tribulation
"Because she also has a powerful and troublesome sword hidden inside her body."

Upon receiving this answer, Ye Beixuan immediately understood.

It is precisely because the two are of equal strength that the Heavenly Sword cannot suppress them with absolute power. No wonder Ye Yaoyao said that she would be in danger if she ran out of spiritual power. Could she really be a reincarnation of a god?

"Let her have it for now!" Ye Beixuan responded to the Heavenly Sword in his heart.

He is currently only at the Human Immortal realm, and his origins are still unclear. Once he picks up this sword, it will surely attract the attention of others. When his identity is discovered, it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

The combined strength of all the major and minor sects in the Southern Region is not much inferior to that of the Heavenly Court. I would probably be dragged to the battlefield and face certain death. It would be best to keep a low profile for now.

When everyone saw that the Heavenly Sword had been successfully pulled out, they were overjoyed.

But then he thought that if the sword wasn't in the young sect leader's hands, it would probably make him lose face.

"Young Sect Master, Yaoyao." A concerned call brought Ye Beixuan back to reality.

Seeing that the pressure from the sword had disappeared and confirming that there was no danger, Zhang Tong immediately called for everyone to come forward to help.

Ye Yaoyao barely managed to stay upright by relying on the Heavenly Sword to support her body, but in reality, she had already fainted.

Ye Xiaofan came to his senses and realized that the bone in his hand was exposed and that almost all of his protective magic artifacts were shattered. Only then did he remember that the Palace Master had always warned him not to act rashly.

The group quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and hurriedly treated the two wounds.

After Ye Yaoyao took a Qi-Nourishing Pill, her pale face finally regained some color, but her frost-like hair did not recover, which was clearly a sign that her foundation had been damaged.

They returned extremely quickly, and the elders, disregarding everything else, immediately set up an array to heal the two.

This unexpected turn of events has left Ye Beixuan with some free time, which is perfect for him to study intermediate alchemy techniques.

Three days later.

After treatment, Ye Xiaofan is fine, suffering only some minor injuries.

Ye Yaoyao's foundation was damaged, so her recovery was relatively slow.

At this moment, Zhang Tong was constantly apologizing to Ye Xiaofan.

"Young Sect Master, once Yaoyao recovers, I will have her return the sword to you." He said "return" rather than "give" it away. Ultimately, he still hoped to use the sword to exchange for more resources to revive the sect.

"It's alright." Ye Xiaofan smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "Junior Sister Yaoyao's foundation is damaged now, so why don't we let her come back to the sect with me this time, and I will ask Master to heal her."

He paused, then changed his tone, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "What difference does it make whether Junior Sister holds the Heavenly Sword or I do? Sect Leader Zhang, you agree, don't you?"

The implication was quite clear: as long as Ye Yaoyao was willing to marry him, and the couple were of one mind, there would be no difference between them.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tong was overjoyed. If this were truly the case, it would mean that the Tianyan Sect had climbed a high branch.

Tian Sui Palace has many subordinate sects, and which one wouldn't want such an opportunity? Especially their own dilapidated little sect.

"I believe this is Yaoyao's good fortune." He immediately smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I think Yaoyao will be fine after a few more days of recovery. I hope the young sect leader will take good care of her during her trial at the upper sect."

"Definitely." Ye Xiaofan replied with a cupped hand, his expression not as arrogant as before, but still revealing a faint sense of aloofness.

If it weren't for Ye Yaoyao, he probably wouldn't even bother with these people.

at the same time.

Inside the alchemy room, a scorching heat wave surged forth, and Xiao Hu and Shan Shan, who had just arrived outside the courtyard to help, both felt the intense heat.

The two little ones were so overwhelmed by the heat that they couldn't open their eyes and instinctively covered their faces with their hands.

As the heat subsided, they lowered their hands and instinctively looked towards the alchemy room, whereupon they were immediately shocked.

The lid of the alchemy furnace slowly opened, and a pill radiating a glow and covered with mysterious runes floated in the air.

Ye Beixuan continued to perform hand seals until finally taking out a jade bottle, putting the only pill into it, and then letting out a long sigh of relief with a pale face.

"Refining this superior-grade Foundation Strengthening Pill has completely exhausted my spiritual power. It seems that without breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, it is still too difficult to refine it."

Then he called out towards the door, "You've been watching for so long, aren't you coming in?"

When Xiao Hu and Shan Shan, who had been secretly watching, realized they had been discovered, they had no choice but to come inside.

"Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to be even more amazing than Senior Sister Yaoyao."

Ye Beixuan certainly wouldn't be arrogant; he believed that the vast majority of the credit for his great abilities should go to Nanming Li Huo.

So he said in a calm tone, "I'm giving you a task: secretly deliver this pill to Senior Sister Yaoyao. Today I'll tell you a fun story."

"Okay!" Little Tiger happily accepted the pill, his heart filled with joy, knowing he could hear stories again.

He eagerly set off to deliver the medicine, but as he reached the door, he said with a lewd expression, "Brother Ye, by the way, is this another story of an old cow eating young grass?"

"Get lost..." Ye Beixuan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. This shameless little brat...
At this moment, Ye Yaoyao, lying on the bed, stared blankly at the pills in the jade bottle in her hand.

Did he refine this? In just a few days, his alchemy skills have surpassed mine?

Without hesitation, she swallowed the pill and began meditating and circulating her internal energy.

A pale blue halo surrounded her, instantly draining the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius of the world and forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy on her roof.

"What is this? Someone is breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm." Zhang Tong, who was treating Ye Xiaofan's injuries, suddenly sensed something. He was stunned at first, then his face lit up with joy. He said, "This aura... Yaoyao has broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Such a young celestial being, I've never heard of anything like it." Ye Xiaofan also showed a look of shock.

He was already considered a peerless genius in the immortal realm, having only broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm at over two hundred years old, while she had broken through before she was even forty. He was determined to marry her, otherwise he might miss his chance.

at the same time.

Inside a somewhat dilapidated thatched hut, another breakthrough was quietly taking place. Ye Beixuan sat upright on the bed, the surrounding spiritual energy also being completely drained.

Boom!

A loud bang echoed throughout the entire sect.

Ye Yaoyao's breakthrough triggered extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, and many sect elders rushed to protect her. Such a breakthrough was far more spectacular than that of an ordinary celestial being.

"Could this be divine jealousy?" Zhang Tong stared solemnly at the changing clouds in the sky, with distant rumbles of thunder coming from within the clouds.

"Oh no, could it really be that divine jealousy has triggered a calamity?"

At the same time, Ye Beixuan felt his dantian expanding infinitely, and the Heavenly Monarch power sealed in his body was like a melting ice ball, slowly being released outwards.

Boom!

Another deafening roar followed, and thunder roared across the sky. Zhang Tong was shocked and shouted, "Quickly activate the sect's protective formation! Something's wrong with this tribulation lightning!"

At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky, and the raging wind leveled all the trees on the mountain, causing Ye Yaoyao's hair to dance wildly.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down with a deafening roar, causing the sword mark on Ye Yaoyao's forehead to shine brightly.

"Not good, this is the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, there are three in total." The earth shook violently, and the sect's protective formation was struck by the first bolt of lightning, causing it to teeter on the brink of collapse.

The elders holding the array trembled violently, and another tribulation of lightning began to brew in the sky. Only then did they notice the sword energy surrounding the girl, and a phantom of a divine sword appearing above her head. "Could it be the Heavenly Sword?" Ye Xiaofan asked, looking at the blurry phantom sword of spiritual energy above her head.

Ye Yaoyao's consciousness was filled with violent sword intent at this moment. She was shocked to find that there was a peerless and vicious sword hidden in her dantian.

Boom! Another loud bang, and a bolt of lightning struck.

The great formation trembled violently once again, and the residual power of the heavenly tribulation stirred Ye Yaoyao's mind.

But suddenly, she felt a cool sensation throughout her body, and the surging medicinal power nourished every part of her body like a tide, repairing the foundation that had been damaged before.

She subconsciously turned around and looked at Ye Beixuan's thatched hut, her heart filled with shock.

This foundation-strengthening pill actually had the effect of reversing the course of fate. Seeing that her body had not only recovered but was even better than before, she was immediately filled with fighting spirit. She looked up at the sky again and faced the tribulation lightning head-on.

When the third and final lightning bolt struck, the spiritual energy shield of the great formation shattered, and the lightning bolt, undiminished in its power, hurtled towards her.

Just when she felt she was about to lose her grip, a clear sword rang out.

"Look!" a pale-faced elder with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth exclaimed, pointing at Lei Yun.

Above Ye Yaoyao's head, deep within the tribulation clouds, a massive sword shadow, a thousand feet long, emerged, blocking the lightning tribulation and creating a standoff between them.

the other side.

A muffled rumble came from the sky in front of the thatched hut, and Ye Beixuan was also subjected to the baptism of lightning at the same time.

The Heavenly Monarch cultivation sealed in his dantian surged out like a tide, and the Southern Bright Fire transformed into a Vermilion Bird phantom, hovering and swirling around him.

Even the air around him spontaneously combusted without any wind.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead instantly evaporated by the Nanming Fire.

Fortunately, Ye Yaoyao's heavenly tribulation provided cover.

The old, crooked tree in front of the thatched cottage courtyard has been destroyed.

High in the sky, the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning and the mysterious divine sword were still locked in battle, while Ye Beixuan was also undergoing the baptism of the third heavenly lightning. This was a compound lightning tribulation, and they were experiencing both the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation and the Earthly Immortal Tribulation at the same time.

In the air, the Nanming Fire suddenly boiled, and amidst the intertwining of firelight and lightning, Ye Beixuan seemed to see a figure from behind.

The man held a book that emitted a seven-colored radiance, facing an endless sea of ​​blood.

In a daze, he seemed to see something, and fragments of memories surged into his mind like a tide.

On another mountaintop, although everyone sensed something unusual about the thatched hut, they simply assumed it was the aftermath of Ye Yaoyao's encounter with the wrath of the heavens.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the two were actually undergoing tribulations simultaneously, and this was a fusion of tribulations that had never occurred in thousands of years—a composite tribulation.

A burst of rosy light shone down, and Ye Beixuan felt the lightning tribulation tempering his body, as well as the vortex formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At the same time, in the sky, Ye Yaoyao's illusory sword finally withstood the tribulation and returned to her body.

Just as the immortal sword returned, a fragment of memory suddenly surfaced in her mind.

A woman, filled with loneliness, stood on the platform, her face covered with spiderweb-like cracks, tears streaming from her eyes, gazing affectionately at a certain spot.

She seemed to be saying, "Remember me."

Ye Yaoyao suddenly felt her consciousness sink into chaos, the world spinning around her, and she lost her balance, her body falling straight down like a falling leaf.

"Quickly..." Zhang Tong did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, the long sword in his hand shot out and caught the unconscious and exhausted Ye Yaoyao, bringing her back.

Ye Xiaofan put aside his usual arrogance and went to visit Ye Yaoyao as well.

He suffered a huge blow today. As a direct descendant of the Immortal Palace, he had been showered with resources since childhood and possessed the talent of a genius among geniuses. He had always been arrogant and haughty.

But now, his confidence has been completely shattered by a young woman from a declining subordinate sect.

After Zhang Tong took her pulse, he confirmed that Ye Yaoyao was out of danger, only a little exhausted. He also confirmed that she had successfully advanced to the Celestial Immortal level, becoming the youngest native Celestial Immortal in the Immortal Realm.

"Thank you, Young Sect Master Ye. Yaoyao has successfully advanced to the Celestial Immortal level. She will surely shine brightly in this trial. Please take good care of her, Young Sect Master."

Ye Xiaofan smiled and cupped his hands in response, "Sect Leader Zhang, rest assured, as long as Yaoyao is willing, we will be family in the future!"

"That's excellent. I think Yaoyao will be able to stabilize her cultivation level in less than three days. At that time, I would like to ask the young sect leader to take her with him." Zhang Tong stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Although he himself was of average talent, he felt it was all worthwhile to have found such a gifted disciple.

Just then, a faint voice came: "Young Sect Master, Master, Yaoyao has a request, may I ask?"

Zhang Tong and Ye Xiaofan were overjoyed to hear that Ye Yaoyao had woken up.

"Yaoyao, just tell me what you need. I believe the young sect leader will agree to your request."

Ye Yaoyao glanced at Ye Xiaofan, who nodded, and said sincerely, "Yaoyao lost her clansmen at a young age. I would like to ask the young sect leader if my cousin Ye Dazhuang could be brought along for this trial?"

“This…” Zhang Tong dared not agree on his own and subconsciously glanced at Ye Xiaofan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ye Xiaofan was in a dilemma. He didn't really like Ye Dazhuang, nor did he dislike him. He just felt that this kind of low-level person was not worth his investment.

"Is it not possible?" Ye Yaoyao asked again as she sat up with difficulty, seeing the trouble on his face.

Seeing that his goddess had gone to such lengths, Ye Xiaofan felt it would be too much to refuse, so he softened his tone and said gently, "Since Junior Sister has asked, I can't very well refuse. However, this trial is somewhat dangerous... If he can't pass it, he should give up in time!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaoyao cupped her hands with difficulty and said weakly, "In that case, thank you very much, Young Sect Master."

the other side.

Xiao Hu rushed to the thatched hut, looked at the crooked tree that had been chopped up, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Sister Yao Yao's heavenly tribulation was truly powerful!"

Ye Beixuan also expended a lot of energy during this tribulation, and he is currently stabilizing his cultivation level inside the house.

Just then, a voice came: "Brother Ye, Brother Ye, good news, fantastic good news!"

Ye Beixuan quickly ended his meditation and woke up.

Xiao Hu hurriedly pushed open the door and took a deep breath: "Brother Ye, good news!"

"You keep shouting that you have good news, but tell me what the good news is first?" Ye Beixuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"That's right, Senior Sister Yaoyao is about to go to the Upper Sect to participate in the trial."

"Yes, that was expected. I knew it all along." Ye Beixuan walked to the table, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Xiao Hu, and drank the other himself.

"But this time, Senior Sister Yaoyao asked me to inform you that she's taking you with her to this trial," Xiaohu said casually while sipping his tea.

"Pfft..." Ye Beixuan spat out a mouthful of tea, revealing a look of astonishment.

Good heavens! Ye Yaoyao, I have no grudge against you, and I even saved you, why did you have to hurt me?

Those major sects are full of experts, how could I possibly hide myself?
Looking at Ye Beixuan's reaction, Xiao Hu said with a face full of surprise, "Brother Ye, what's with your reaction? Our Senior Sister Yaoyao is a beauty of unparalleled grace. She's willing to take a liking to an old weed like you, and you're still not happy?"
