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

Hearing Ye Qiao's attempt to forcibly break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Su Zhuo, who was being called upon, swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask, "Forcibly breaking through?"

"First of all," he tried to explain to Ye Qiao, "our Nascent Soul stage tribulation will take at least two days and possibly three. With such a long tribulation, there will be a shortage of talisman cultivators. Without the two of us, who will guard the remaining formations?"

"You underestimate the direct descendants of the other two families, don't you?" Ye Qiao chuckled. "Even without you, the direct descendants of the Ming and Song families can step up."

Mingxuan looked at Su Zhuo, raising his voice, "Or are you saying you can't force a breakthrough? No way, no way, there can't be someone who can't even break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Hearing his sarcasm and feeling the pressure from Ye Qiao, Su Zhuo took a deep breath, his brow twitching slightly. "I understand!! I can break through! Who said I can't?"

Isn't it just forcibly breaking through the Nascent Soul stage?

But he was still very flustered. Su Zhuo had never done anything so unorthodox. The tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage was not on the same level as that of the Golden Core stage. Every disciple who underwent the Nascent Soul tribulation had several elders guarding outside and various magical artifacts prepared to avoid any accidents during the tribulation.

Who would choose to undergo tribulation when the demons are besieging the city?

Su Zhuo's expression turned slightly serious: "Let me ask you another question: how long do you think it will take you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Half a day is enough." Ye Qiao's spiritual energy was already so rich in the inheritance site that it was enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, she lacked a lightning tribulation at that time, and no one among her direct disciples could lend her one. She looked at the dark night, her expression unchanged.

Want to launch a massive attack on the city? You might as well try the tribulation of a Nascent Soul cultivator first.

If we can withstand the pressure, then we can discuss the issue of suppressing the enemy.

"Is half a day enough?" Su Zhuo felt it was unreliable.

Ye Qiao patted him on the shoulder: "Now is not the time for you to question me. Hurry up and stop dawdling."

With two of their direct disciples suddenly gone, the pressure on Song Hansheng and Zhai Chen was immense.

Mingxuan still had some conscience. Before leaving, he hurriedly dragged Mingyi over and found a direct descendant who was good at formations to fill Su Zhuo's place. "These are direct descendants of our Ming family. Let these two guard the formation for us."

Song Hansheng's lips twitched. The people of Changming Sect always acted on a whim. They borrowed the Nascent Soul stage lightning tribulation without considering the feelings of the lightning tribulation.

The summoned loyalists were all completely bewildered.

Mingyi stared blankly at Ye Qiao and the other two as they sped away, then asked in a daze, "Where are they going?"

Song Hansheng snapped out of his daze and turned his head. "Ignore them. Watch out for the demons around us. Don't let them touch the formation."

Mingyi nodded solemnly, "Understood."

……

"I'll set up the Spirit Gathering Array," Ye Qiao said. "Follow me."

Su Zhuo and Ming Xuan both climbed their way up step by step, and as long as there is enough spiritual energy, forcibly breaking through will not have too much of an impact.

Su Zhuo asked in surprise, "You know how to set up this kind of formation?" He chased after Ye Qiao as he ran, "I heard a long time ago about a kind of talisman called a Spirit Gathering Talisman. Did you draw those too?"

Ye Qiao barely remembered it. "It should be."

Su Zhuo followed closely the whole time, occasionally whispering a few words to Ye Qiao, which made Ming Xuan roll his eyes the whole time.

The three of them went to a quiet spot in the back mountains of the main city to undergo their tribulation. The Spirit Gathering Talisman was not very helpful for those with high cultivation levels, but as Ye Qiao's cultivation improved, its effect increased.

After the formation was set up, all the surrounding spiritual energy flowed into the two people's dantian along the formation.

He repeatedly challenged his cultivation level, rapidly absorbing spiritual energy. His dantian and spiritual energy were constantly being converted, and in no time his face turned pale.

It took the two of them two whole days to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Qiao didn't cultivate with them; instead, she went to lure the demons. She planned to gather them together and wipe them all out when the heavenly lightning struck.

If we say we'll resolve this once and for all, then we will.

No one can stop her from returning to her clan for a holiday.

After settling the two in, Ye Qiao flew into the air on her sword, poked the bamboo shoot in her hand, and signaled to Bujianjun to lead the monster towards the main city.

Don't the two races like to join forces?

Well then, my good buddies, let's get together and get beaten up when the time comes.

Even after transforming, Bujianjun possessed catnip-like qualities. With a gentle sway, he bewitched the monsters, almost causing them to lose their bearings. In just half a day, monsters and demons gathered in the main city.

"What are they doing?"

The sect leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.

They intercepted all the demon kings, and because their numbers were so terrifying, they had no time to check on their disciples' condition.

As a result, the scattered monsters were gathered together.

Not far from the main city, monsters and demons gathered below the city, their dense numbers sending chills down one's spine.

"Look at the sky," Qin Fanfan pointed to the sky.

Thunderclouds began to gather at some point, with the thickest part near the main city. This kind of tribulation usually only occurs to those in the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, this tribulation is different from the past; this time there are two thunderclouds.

"Which two children are facing their tribulations? They look like two different thunderclouds to me?"

The sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect instinctively reprimanded them, "Are they in such a hurry? To break through at a time like this?"

At times like these, losing even one close mentor could be a fatal blow.

Qin Fanfan seemed thoughtful. "It doesn't look like a natural breakthrough to me. Look, the spiritual energy is gathering in one place."

This situation can only be caused by frantically pouring spiritual energy into the dantian. It is clearly not a natural breakthrough, but a forced breakthrough.

"A forced breakthrough?" The Sword Inquiry Sect Master was even more puzzled. "What's the point at a time like this?"

Not only is it a waste of time, but if the demons break through the city, their tribulation will be disturbed, and they could easily suffer from demonic possession. With such a high risk, have their two disciples lost their minds?

The two sect leaders were completely baffled.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Yun Hen's expression was strange. At this critical juncture, two peak Golden Core cultivators chose to break through their cultivation levels simultaneously, unleashing three consecutive tribulations of lightning. It was obvious who they intended to send to the next level.

Ye Qiao's spiritual energy in her dantian was more than enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But for some reason, he noticed that she seemed to have remained silent.

It wasn't until today that Yunhen suddenly realized this.

She was suppressing her cultivation level; the Nascent Soul stage was a major hurdle for her, and she couldn't break through without sufficient tribulation lightning.

The demons are terrified of lightning tribulations. They are inherently evil and follow wicked paths. It's a miracle they aren't struck by lightning and their souls are scattered.

"They're helping Ye Qiao break through to the Nascent Soul stage," Yun Hen said calmly. "Ye Qiao is preparing to use the tribulation lightning to gather all the demon and monster races together and deal with them."

It should be noted that when she was in the Golden Core stage, heavenly lightning could split the entire secret realm open.

What about the tribulation lightning at the Nascent Soul stage?
