I was sitting in mid-air.

Beneath the surface, countless giant deep-sea fish and lurking marine creatures could be seen frantically plunging and fleeing into the deep sea from the shallow, mid-water, and nearshore areas.

That speed was even faster than Xiao Hei snatching the candied hawthorn.

That level of heavenly tribulation and divine might is an instinctive fear etched into the bloodline of every living being.

The sea surface was instantly empty, even the plankton had fled.

The entire sea was desolate and lifeless.

Not a single fish could be seen, not a single shrimp could be found, and even the seaweed had shrunk back, but the seaweed spirit was still in the sea.

------

In the distance, a towering peak.

Gu Zhining and her group had already taken the wind-riding vehicles to the summit.

A group of people stood on the mountaintop, holding up telescopes, gazing intently at the center of the sea and sky.

They had originally come to watch the battle and enjoy the spectacle, but now everyone's hands, holding the telescopes, were trembling slightly.

Gu Zhaoye held up his binoculars, muttering to himself, "Can you see her? Can you see her? Is that black dot Fupin? What's that big black cloud above her head? Is it her tribulation cloud or the dragon she raised?"

Gu Zhining: "That's a calamity cloud. The dragon is in her sleeve."

Gu Zhaoye: "In the sleeve? It's that small?"

Gu Zhining: "She said it was a compressed form."

Gu Zhaoye: "Can dragons be compressed?"

Gu Zhining: "Nonsense, you've seen it before! If you're nervous, then be nervous. Don't try to make small talk and give me a headache."

I waved to them and saw them wave back.

Gu Zhaoye waved the flag the most enthusiastically, almost falling off the mountaintop, but Gu Zhining grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back up.

I couldn't help but laugh, then looked around at the people around me and found that everyone was looking at me nervously.

—My mother looked at the calamity shadow in the sky, then at me, and then drew several giant cinnabar talismans out of thin air, densely arranged in horizontal rows, adding another layer to the Heavenly Talisman Wall.

The talisman wall was so thick that even a mosquito couldn't fly out.

After setting up the defenses, she stood about five zhang away from me in mid-air and said gently, "Don't be afraid, Mother is here."

I panicked: "Mom, don't get too close, you'll get hit!"

My mother's gaze softened: "It's alright, Mother isn't afraid."

Me: "I'm scared!"

My mother comforted me, "Don't be afraid, I have high cultivation and can withstand it."

I honestly said, "No, I'm afraid you'll get hurt and my dad will come after me."

My mother paused for a moment, then unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth into a smile: "He wouldn't dare."

Bai Jingxin's Xuan Yue Spirit Fox also used its nine tails to add another layer of barrier to the water wall.

Nine fluffy, giant tails rose high, like nine giant, open palm-leaf fans, layering over the water barrier.

Bai Jingxin: "If necessary, I will take action."

I nodded obediently, "Thank you for protecting me, Sect Leader Bai!"

The Mysterious Moon Fox squinted at me and its tail tip swayed slightly.

That expression roughly translates to: Little girl, hang in there.

Ji Yanci raised the pink barrier higher to reinforce it: "Don't be too rough, girl. The mortal realm can't handle it, and neither can my back."

Me: "...I'll try my best."

Ji Yanci: "It's not just about trying, it's about having to. My old back can't take any more strain."

Me: "Sect Leader Ji, you look quite young and beautiful."

Ji Yanci: "Of course. But your tribulation cloud is so large, even the youngest back can't withstand it."

Me: "...Okay~"

—The Zen master has already started chanting sutras, in a manner similar to that of Elder Wangji.

It's probably something like praying that the little baby won't be struck by lightning.

The young monk chanted the Rebirth Mantra while adding talismans to the protective barrier, covering the entire wall like people in the mortal world putting up Spring Festival couplets.

I asked curiously, "Little monk, are you putting up Spring Festival couplets?"

The young monk said, "If we post more, we won't be afraid even if the lightning strikes a wrong spot."

Me: "What if the lightning doesn't strike the wrong spot?"

The young monk said, "It's alright, our sect has plenty of money anyway."

I:"…………"

Fine, powerful and influential families certainly have the right to be capricious!

The elders of the Array Sect below were also looking at me:

—"Hopefully, this Guardian Formation can hold out."

—"I hope the jade bowl of Zen Buddhism will not be broken."

Xie Huanhuan looked up at me and said, "I hope you can hold on."

I nodded: "Okay! Don't just hope for more, add some more spiritual power!"

Xie Huanhuan: "...Okay."

He lowered his head and silently widened the coverage of the Guardian of Heaven and Protector of Calamity Array, increasing its diameter from thirty miles to sixty miles.

His fingers flew across the paper, and spiritual energy surged out as if it were free.

He muttered to himself, "I have to get reimbursed by the Myriad Immortals Alliance when I get back! The loss of divine sense and the consumption of spiritual energy—I can't skimp on anything!"

Disciples from other sects also flew over from the shore to cheer me on.

—Situ Che said, "The entire population along the East China Sea of ​​Dayan has been evacuated, not a single one is left, not even the dogs."

I pressed on, "Where's the cat?"

"They took it with them too."

"Where's the chicken?"

"They took it with them too."

"Where are the ants?"

Situ Che paused, then said, "...If the ants weren't brought along, they'll move on their own."

I suddenly realized, "Oh, right."

—Senior Sister Xiong, carrying the alchemy furnace, said: "Junior Sister, don't worry about the process. If you need more pills, just tell me. I brought three hundred Rejuvenation Pills; if that's not enough, I'll refine more."

I exclaimed in surprise, "Three hundred? That many?"

Senior Sister Xiong nodded: "Ever since the meeting where they said we were going to go into business, I've been staying up all night to practice. I've stayed up for three nights in a row, and my hands were cramping after I finished."

I was touched: "Senior Sister Xiong, you're so kind to me."

Senior Sister Xiong: "Nonsense, you're our Qingyun Sect's junior sister. Who else would we pamper if not you?"

—Senior Sister Yuhe: "Yes! Junior Sister, I brought hundreds of defensive talismans. If you can't withstand it, tell me!"

My heart warmed, and my nose tingled with emotion: "Thank you, senior sister!"

—Feng Shouchi looked around and calmly arranged: "There are four major sect leaders on the coastline. Let's go down and help the sect leaders maintain their formation."

—Li Bufan nodded and flew down, calling out to me, "Junior Sister, hold on!"

—Qing Liuliu also flew down: "Junior Sister, after we finish our tribulation, let's go stroll through the mortal realm and buy some fruit to eat!"

I nodded: "Okay! I want to eat candied hawthorn!"

Qingliuliu: "Ten skewers, please!"

Me: "One hundred skewers! Xiao Hei can eat ninety-nine of them."

Qingliu smiled brightly: "Deal!"

—The Snow Fairy gently flew to my side, her voice gentle and sincere: "I'll save half of the hair growth cream for you."

As she spoke, she stuck a red hairpin into my hair.

"This is the Kunlun Cloud Condensation Hairpin, crafted from Kunlun Ten Thousand Years of Cloud Jade. It can withstand and buffer fierce power. I've been saving spirit stones for several years to create this top-grade protective magic weapon. I originally kept it to use for my own Nascent Soul Tribulation, but I'm giving it to you for now in an emergency."

After saying that, she floated away.

I quickly followed up, "You don't need to pay it back, right?"

Xue Mei turned around: "...No need."

I was overjoyed: "Senior sister, you're so kind! I'll buy you roasted chestnuts after I've overcome my tribulation!"

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Okay."

—Lan Xixi waved and shouted from afar, "Junior Sister, I'll treat you to a seafood feast after you survive your tribulation!"

My eyes lit up, and I replied very quickly, "Okay!"

—The other three senior sisters from the Hehuan Sect also took turns offering encouragement:

"Junior Sister, stay calm!"

"Survive the tribulation of lightning, and your future will be bright!"

"Junior Sister, after you overcome your tribulation, I'll buy you a communication talisman again!"

I nodded: "Thank you, senior sisters! But it's a promise, no discounts on my brother's! One thing at a time, business is business!"

My brother's lips twitched in the distance, but he didn't say anything.

—Suning shouted from afar, "Little junior sister! Keep it up! You're the fattest!"

I turned my head abruptly: "Say that again?"

Suning quickly defended himself: "The best! The best! Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue!"

Yan Chuan added, "Junior Sister! After you pass your tribulation, your fourth senior brother will make you braised pork! The kind with three kinds of spiritual herbs! It'll be fatty but not greasy, and melt in your mouth!"

—Murong Zhuo followed: "Junior Sister! After you pass your tribulation, your Fifth Senior Brother will give you a magic robe, it's free! It's lightning-proof! Three layers thick!"

—Gu Chenguang: "After I survive the tribulation, I'll go back to Jinshu Pavilion and have them publish another biography of you in the mortal realm. I've already thought of a title: 'From Nascent Soul to God Transformation - A Foodie's Counterattack'."

I nodded: "Remember to clarify the profit sharing!"

Gu Chenguang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your second senior brother will handle the price negotiation."

Shen Qingchen didn't say anything, he just looked at me and nodded, no words were needed.

My brother understood without saying a word. He looked at me, his eyes conveying two silent words: I'm here!

Little Black had already jumped onto my brother's shoulder, its tail swishing back and forth: "Hurry up and finish crossing so we can have a seafood feast. I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything since I came down here."

I rolled my eyes: "Oh~"

Then take a deep breath and start listing your assets—no, list your resources!

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a wealth of treasures from within the bracelet.

A hissing sound of gasping for breath came from all around, as if a snake pit had exploded.

—One after another, the Nine Chen Protection Talismans automatically surrounded his body, forming a perfect protective circle.

The Song family patriarch said that each one can withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator. I don't know if I, at my level, can withstand the Nascent Soul tribulation. But with so many, it should be fine.

—Suning's same style of Tianluo vine soft armor automatically covers the body!

Although it can only be used as a single strike against a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can grow indefinitely, and at least it can help me deflect some of the lightning power.

Suning shouted from afar, "That's the same model as mine! So impressive!"

—Ancient spirit armor forms perfectly around the body!

Mother said it can withstand a combined attack, and the tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul stage should be no problem for it. After all, it is a product of the Qingyun Sect, so it must be of the highest quality!

—The Tranquil Glass Pendant automatically affixed itself to my heart, protecting my consciousness!

Mother also said this was to prevent cultivators from being bewitched by inner demons and losing their Dao heart.

That's good. When undergoing tribulation, the biggest fear is being disturbed by inner demons.

—A protective Dao seal floated in front of me, creating a Dao domain barrier around me!

This is a birthday gift from Zen Buddhism last year. It's made by Zen Buddhism, so the quality is guaranteed!

—The ten-thousand-year-old spiritual jade is suspended in the air, storing energy and waiting for its mission!

The Lord of the North Sea said that when the spiritual power of this jade is overdrawn, it automatically releases spiritual energy, instantly replenishing the cultivator's spiritual sea.

The Lord of Beihai is a man of great stature! I'll have to have my father send him two jars of wine later.

—The protective treasure around her neck, shielded by lightning, automatically emitted a soft glow!

I forget which sect leader gave it to me, but it was said to be an ancient treasure specially crafted for those undergoing tribulation, passed down by generations of tribulation cultivators. It was also said to be able to block the Refinement Lightning Tribulation.

Give it a try; it doesn't take up much space just hanging there.

—The fragments of a landscape scroll unfold in mid-air!

Using the power of mountains and rivers, we have erected a giant protective barrier!

Wei Cangxuan said this was one of the few treasures of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but no one knew how much treasure he had hidden away.

When there are fewer people around, ask him again if he has anything else.

—The ancient banner of the remnant world stood up automatically beside him!

Grandpa Ouyang said that the boundary flag left behind in the ancient small world can be unfolded to temporarily open up a small independent domain, within which the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Law is suppressed.

Grandpa Ouyang has given me all his life savings; I'll kowtow to him next time I go back!

—The Demon Realm's supreme treasure, the Myriad Demon Banner, unfurled with a rustling sound!

My father said it was made by mixing millions of demon bones with black iron from the Demon Abyss, and the banner was sewn with countless threads of demon souls.

Release thousands of demonic shadows, and the demon horde will rush to take the heavenly lightning, sharing the bombardment for their master.

It can also devour a portion of the tribulation lightning and transform it into demonic energy.

Although my father was a spendthrift, the family fortune left by my grandfather was truly substantial.

—The Styx Pearl hangs beside the Myriad Demon Banner!

The Old Demon of the Withered Antelope said that this was a black pearl that had settled deep in the River of Oblivion, a water-based magical treasure of the Demon Realm. When attacked, it would turn into a surging black wave that enveloped itself, and the black water could dissolve external forces.

The items given by the Great Demon King should be of good quality; I trust him.

—Put on the Ghost Bone Locking Armor too!

The one-eyed old demon steward said it was made of abyssal bone jade.

It is a treasure of our Demon Realm Bone Cultivation, a close-fitting soft armor that locks the flesh in place. When struck by heavenly lightning, it can absorb the impact and protect the bones and muscles.

Although the one-eyed old demon loves to cry, loves to nag, and loves to steal my Netherworld Fruit... he also really cares about me. I'll have to ask my brother to raise his monthly salary later.

Layer upon layer of magical treasures were stacked, and multiple layers of protective barriers enveloped the area.

A colorful aura enveloped me, as if I were wearing a rainbow shirt.

The people around them were stunned and couldn't stop muttering to themselves.

"—Junior Sister...she has so many treasures? Did she bring the entire wealth of the cultivation world with her?"

"I thought she would be poor after losing her spirit stones, but I didn't expect... she was poor in spirit stones, but rich in her family fortune."

"—Every year on her birthday, the sect leader throws a huge banquet. I wonder how many gifts she's received. I've calculated it, and it's probably enough to buy half of the cultivation world."

"—Half? I think that could buy the entire cultivation world plus a street in the demon realm."

"The Demon Realm doesn't need to be bought; it originally belonged to her."

— "…………"

I suppressed my urge to get carried away, waved my hand, and pretended to be modest: "No, no, it's just a little bit of family wealth."

Wei Cangxuan called out from afar, "Alright, stop joking! Concentrate!"

I quickly suppressed my smugness and looked seriously up at the massive cloud above me that had swallowed five pieces of tribulation cloud and was still expanding.

It was so black it was almost purple, so purple it was shiny, so shiny it was almost insane.

The vortex in the center of the clouds spun faster and faster, like a giant eye staring at me.

That eye seemed to be saying: Little girl, are you ready?

I gripped the Hunyuan Sword tightly and thought to myself: Come on, I'm in a hurry to get back for a seafood feast and braised pork!

The tribulation clouds seemed to understand, and suddenly brightened.

The first bolt of lightning struck.
