I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

"Tsk tsk tsk, lightning tribulation strikes the secret realm, remember my name is Ye Qiao."

Whether it's a tribulation of lightning or a secret realm, both are creations of heaven and earth. So, which one would prevail if they met?

"Can lightning tribulation open up a secret realm? If it can't, will I be able to go into a secret realm to undergo tribulations in the future?"

"That's heavenly lightning, of course it can split it."

"In the past, there have been cultivators who underwent tribulation in secret realms, but generally speaking, they were safe and sound. The lightning tribulation is carried out by the will of Heaven, and it only strikes people, without affecting the secret realm."

Wouldn't Ye Qiao be doomed?

The secret realm was already brewing a wave of Nascent Soul stage demon beasts, and she was trapped inside and unable to get out. In addition, the tribulation of lightning was about to arrive. With these three factors combined, everyone had some doubts: could Ye Qiao still come out alive?

The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect tilted his head, seeking the other's opinion, "The Wind Transformation Sect possesses a magical artifact that can forcibly open secret realms. Should we go in to rescue them?"

Qin Fanfan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the dark, oppressive lightning tribulation in the sky. He shook his head and simply said, "Everyone, stay away. Don't get close to her. That child's tribulation is building up very quickly."

The other sect leaders, each with their own ulterior motives, fell silent upon hearing Changming Sect's statement and began to ponder the matter carefully.

Ye Qinghan fell from the Nascent Soul stage in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Will Ye Qiao be faster than him?

The scene in the secret realm was somewhat frightening. After Ye Qiao finished her rant, she put the recording stone into her pocket. If even one of the Nascent Soul stage demon beasts gave her a hoof, she would be dead. Without looking back, the girl rode a fiery red bird and directed the KFC to fly down, trying to keep as far away as possible from the approaching Nascent Soul stage demon beast tide.

KFC was speechless.

Ever since it followed Ye Qiao, it has been either chasing or being chased all day long.

KFC's initial target for a contractor wasn't Ye Qiao. Phoenixes are auspicious beasts, and they seek masters with great fortune. Ye Qiao didn't seem like the kind of person who would be favored by Heaven.

But now, things seem different.

Fortune is on her side.

it's wired.

The KFC chicken kept carrying her, dodging through the air. Flying in the sky and running on the ground, the Nascent Soul stage demon beast's power would have made ordinary demon beasts prostrate on the ground long ago, but it was a phoenix.

The fiery red phoenix's golden pupils narrowed slightly, and several birds that had flown up from mid-air to surround it instantly lay obediently on the ground.

Ye Qiao, unaware of its abilities, exclaimed "Wow!" and patted its head, overjoyed: "Amazing!"

The divine beast's aura is not omnipotent; it only has a suppressive effect on birds of pure blood or some of its own kind. The secret realm saw through this and instead commanded other demonic beasts to swarm forward.

"What level is Ye Qiao's bird?"

"Perhaps it's a spirit beast like the Cloud Magpie."

The Azure Phoenix is ​​a rare spirit beast. They had noticed the bird beside Ye Qiao and thought it was a demon beast, but they never expected it to intimidate a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Spirit beasts don't have that ability." The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect said in a cool tone. The Azure Phoenix is ​​a spirit beast that uses mental attacks. It is indeed very strong, but it is absolutely impossible for a Nascent Soul stage demon beast to submit to it.

The elder of the Azure Water Sect raised an eyebrow: "A divine beast? If the Eight Great Families and the outside world find out, she has to hand it over?"

Qin Fanfan's heart skipped a beat. "It's a chicken. What are you all guessing?"

Biyuezong glanced at him: "Ah, right, right, a chicken that can intimidate a Nascent Soul stage demon beast at a glance."

Judging from this, Changming Sect is going to protect this divine beast. But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they had a divine beast, they would protect it too. But Changming Sect has been in a really bad period in recent years, and it's hard to say whether they can even keep it in the hands of a group of powerful families.

With so many geniuses emerging this year, it's not impossible to forcefully protect a mythical beast.

Qin Fanfan was quite confused. He had previously helped Ye Qiao investigate the origin of her contracted beast, which was supposed to be a demon beast.

Oh shit.

Elder Zhao felt a little guilty and asked seriously, "Hey, you knew all along that her thing was a divine beast?" He didn't even know.

Qin Fanfan muttered softly, "I don't know."

Elder Zhao frowned slightly: "What do you know?"

Qin Fanfan: "...I don't know anything." These kids don't tell him anything at all.

The helpless old father is grieving online.

Elder Zhao was speechless.

With such an unreliable sect leader and his disciples, it's a miracle that the Changming Sect hasn't closed down yet.

……

Ye Qiao and Kentucky were surrounded and were in a very sorry state, jumping up and down. They couldn't escape the ambush of the Nascent Soul stage demon beast, so they cooperated to escape. Kentucky turned around and burned a flame on the demon beast's feather.

The Phoenix True Fire cannot be extinguished by ordinary water or air currents.

Enraged by being toyed with, the beast lashed out with its tail, bringing down with lightning speed.

KFC made a mistake and failed to dodge, which knocked Ye Qiao down with it, and several Vajra Talismans in her arms were shattered one after another.

Ye Qiao was slammed to the ground. She gasped for breath; it hurt quite a bit.

But she pursed her lips, sensed something, raised her eyes, and stared motionlessly at the sky above the secret realm.

The secret realm laughed.

Almost the instant Ye Qiao fell, the secret realm that had locked onto her location once again mobilized the surrounding demonic beasts to gather in her direction at an alarming speed. The oppressive aura of the Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts in the secret realm pressed in, but Ye Qiao, who was being gradually besieged, simply opened her eyes and stared blankly at the sky.

Not moving at all.

It was as if they had completely given up the struggle.

The secret realm materialized, floating at the very top with a smug smile.

"Run, let's see where you can run to." In its secret realm, it is the master.

Ye Qiao heard a voice coming from the air and she smiled.

"Really? I don't believe it." The Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts were about to swarm in, and the gathered beasts were about to tear her apart in the next second, but the girl just stood there calmly.

Right now, no one outside was in a hurry to tell Ye Qiao to stop showing off and run away, because they simply didn't have time to see what the situation in the secret realm was really like.

Outside, layers of thunderclouds piled up, and the entire outside world was filled with the imminent threat of wind and rain. The once bright and sunny sky was now completely obscured, turning pitch black, as if an evil god had invaded the cultivation world.

The heavenly lightning needed to gather momentum before it struck, so they thought it would take several hours before it did. Little did they expect that the heavenly lightning would be so unruly.

Just as they were engrossed in watching, a lightning bolt as thick as a fist rolled down, causing a deafening roar. The snow-white lightning instantly illuminated the scene as bright as day.

day.

Run!

The audience seats were also affected: "Run!!"

This is incredible!

A bolt of lightning struck, engulfing everyone present without exception. The aftershocks of the lightning left everyone lying on the ground, completely disoriented.

Mu Chongxi and the others were only affected by the commotion, but even so, they felt numb all over. "Holy crap."

Why is this lightning tribulation attacking people without any rules?

Mingxuan hurriedly shouted, "No, no, it's mainly attacking Ye Qiao! Everyone, move aside, you're blocking it from attacking people!"

This lightning tribulation had been brewing for a long time, and now that it had finally come, it naturally wouldn't care about the lives of the others.

The affected cultivators stood up groggily, wondering which disciple was so kind-hearted. But when they caught sight of the sect robes and saw that it was the Changming Sect, they immediately understood.

Oh.

It turns out he's the person in question's good friend.

"What kind of tribulation is this? Even a Nascent Soul cultivator shouldn't be affected by it."

The lightning tribulations are all targeted. This is the first time I've seen them affect the area outside the arena. If the area outside the arena is this scary, how terrifying must Ye Qiao's place be?

In the blink of an eye, a lightning bolt, so excited it seemed to fly, cleaved open the secret realm and headed straight for Ye Qiao in the center. The aftershocks from the lightning instantly blasted away the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast that was rushing towards Ye Qiao.

The lightning tribulation centered on her exploded instantly, leaving nothing but barren land ten meters away.

Ye Qiao was jolted by the electric shock, but she was now quite skilled at it. She calmly exhaled a puff of black smoke, and with the arrival of the tribulation lightning, the monster tide also arrived.

They charged forward aggressively, intending to crush this overconfident protégé, but before they could even react, they were caught off guard.

A lightning bolt the size of a fist crashed down.

"???"

In an instant, all their relatives were blown away.

The smile in the secret realm also froze.

There's a saying in the cultivation world: "Under heavenly thunder, all beings are equal," and there's some truth to that.

but……

Wasn't it said that lightning wouldn't affect other people?

The moment the first bolt of lightning struck, its secret realm began to tremble and crumble. Before it could even figure out what had gone wrong, it saw Ye Qiao lying on the ground sigh, "I was waiting for the lightning. What are you waiting for?"

She said, "Are we just waiting to die?"

Ye Qiao, being inside the secret realm, naturally had no idea when the lightning tribulation outside would strike, but she had been struck hundreds of times along with Ye Qinghan before, so she was all too familiar with the smell of heavenly lightning.

Since the secret realm wants to target her, then she'll let it target her to its heart's content. If she gets attacked, it'll get attacked too!

"Is this really a tribulation that occurs during the Golden Core stage?" Chu Xingzhi, watching from the sidelines, pursed his lips, questioning his existence.

Your tribulation lightning and mine seem to be different?

Compared to this, his Golden Core stage tribulation seems insignificant.

Zhu You asked, "Can Ye Qiao handle it?"

Ye Qinghan thought of how she was still alive and kicking even after being attacked by a Nascent Soul cultivator for so long, and calmly nodded, "She's fine."
