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

The Seventh Elder held his breath for a moment. He had recklessly provoked the heavenly lightning, and although he had magical treasures that could ward off lightning, he still couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

No one can help but fear the will of Heaven.

That is the Great Dao that transcends all living beings.

Others weren't so lucky.

The instant the Swift Shadow Sword opened its eyes, Swift Shadow was also drawn from its sheath.

She also switched swords, one in each hand, Jinghong and Lueying. She made a sword incantation, causing Lueying to appear as well. Two sword spirits landed above her head, one on the left and one on the right. Lueying couldn't help but tremble. "What a fierce lightning tribulation."

With elegant features, Jinghong Sword gently swayed her large skirt and landed beside Ye Qiao, her voice slow: "...After all, they are both at the Integration Stage."

The lightning tribulation was too weak and didn't match the prestige of these two.

With her spirit sword in hand, Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow at the lightning tribulation in mid-air, wondering whether it would follow a procedure or strike directly.

Clearly, the heavenly lightning had no intention of following her procedures. It charged straight at the Seventh Elder with overwhelming force, tearing apart the entire domain from a distance. The thunderous tribulation was extremely terrifying. They all huddled behind the elder, trembling collectively, their faces pale.

Ye Qiao gathered the two together not so that they would both be struck by lightning, but mainly to make it easier for the lightning tribulation to gather and strike him.

Anyway, it makes no difference.

Whether she goes through the proper procedures or gets directly attacked, in the end, she'll be the one who suffers.

……

After seeing the rolling thunder, what else could Xie Chuxue not understand?

The cultivators of the Amorous Path were rebellious, but not as audacious as those of the Carefree Path. They sensed two auras from afar, both at the peak of the Void Refining stage and half-step into the Body Integration stage. After investigating, they discovered that they were actually from the Demon Clan.

That rebellious son Mingxuan actually dared to break the Fusion Formation. Does he want to die or not?

Xie Chuxue glanced at Ye Qiao and laughed in exasperation, but this time his emotions were frighteningly calm. He only glanced at Ye Qiao, who stood beside him with three sword spirits. Ye Qiao seemed to be ready as well, her hands forming sword incantations. He stood in a relatively secluded spot, dozens of meters away from everyone else.

And his expression... looked exceptionally sad?

Xie Chuxue looked at her standing alone in a large open space, seemingly intending to isolate everyone. She raised an eyebrow, not understanding her intention, but still felt relieved.

He was almost certain who the so-called variable and savior was.

The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.

Ye Qiao was one of them.

Since Heaven wants to save this broken world, the savior it has carefully selected must have the ability to turn the tide.

He shook his hand and looked around.

This area is truly bustling with activity.

Having gathered nearly half of the direct disciples from the five sects, he glanced at them indifferently and discovered the aura of a peak Integration Realm cultivator. He wasn't particularly surprised by this, since his sect had suffered more than half its casualties back then, ending in such a tragic way that the elders had to self-destruct. This could only mean that there must have been cultivators at or above the Integration Realm within the sect at that time.

Elder Zhao, being at the highest cultivation level of the Refining Void Realm, had no chance of winning against someone at the Integration Realm.

As a gentle, top-grade wood spirit root, the plants and trees within his domain particularly favored him. Soft flowers gently entwined around Xie Chuxue's fingertips, and with a wave of his hand, he retrieved a row of top-grade talismans from his mustard seed bag.

"Seventh Elder." He smiled, staring intently at the other person, enunciating each word clearly.

Oh, it was you.

With both old and new grudges combined, Xie Chuxue's eyes were filled with a heavy, thick, and obscure emotion. He was determined to kill that bastard, the Seventh Elder, today.

The Seventh Elder felt as if Xie Chuxue's eyes were poisoned.

However, he had no time to worry about Xie Chuxue who suddenly appeared. Just now, he used the spirit banner to attract the lightning tribulation, and the Heavenly Dao was indeed enraged. The lightning tribulation seemed to have the power of a thousand pounds to tear the sky above the domain. In an instant, white light surged into it. Ye Qinghan held his sword and threw out all the treasures in his hand to resist the heavenly lightning. He could still block the early stage of the lightning tribulation.

In the later stages, he could only endure it.

A lightning tribulation, like a dragon, struck down! Accompanied by several panicked cries, everyone in the area was too busy trying to save themselves. After all, no one dared to fight against electricity, and what warrior could stand against a lightning tribulation?

Mingxuan looked somewhat dazed. He did have some magical artifacts and treasures in his mustard seed bag that might be able to withstand a few attacks, but there was no need for them. He knew that he and Ye Qinghan were different.

The other party is the chosen one, everyone is looking forward to him, even the Heavenly Dao favors him.

Given Heaven's aversion to the demon race, this tribulation of lightning will surely kill them all.

At the very moment Ye Qiao threw her sword, all the spiritual artifacts were thrown into the air by Ye Qinghan. The lightning tribulation, having cleaved through the domain, immediately headed straight for the Seventh Elder. However, just as it was about to arrive in mid-air and the atmosphere was at its peak, it abruptly changed course halfway through.

It was obvious. It had found someone more interesting than the Seventh Elder.

When the Seventh Elder saw the lightning change direction, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile, as if he could already foresee the fate of Ye Qinghan and Ming Xuan.

Among these people, the strongest are these two newly formed duo.

Once he takes care of the two of them, Xie Chuxue will be more than a match for him.

But his smile soon faded.

Because the heavenly lightning did indeed veer off course, at the moment it did, the hairs on Ye Qinghan's body stood on end in tension, his lips were tightly pursed, and although his hand holding the sword was steady, one could still feel his awe of the heavenly lightning.

Nobody wants to be struck by lightning, and Mingxuan's expression became even more resigned.

He is very afraid of pain.

This heavenly lightning is meant to shatter his soul and scatter his spirit; he will only suffer worse than Ye Qinghan.

The massive lightning bolt crashed down like a dragon, causing the entire domain to tremble precariously. Xie Chuxue's voice choked; this was his territory.

Ye Qinghan was breathing heavily when suddenly a bolt of lightning grazed past him. The immense force of the lightning startled him so much that his breath hitched. He realized that the lightning was heading straight for Ye Qiao behind him!

He instinctively shouted "Watch out!" mistakenly thinking that the lightning had gone wrong.

Without undergoing tribulation, she would be struck by a heavenly lightning bolt from a Nascent Soul cultivator, causing her soul to be scattered.

Ye Qinghan's face turned pale. Ming Xuan hadn't expected such a turn of events, and he instinctively tried to rush over, but Xie Chuxue held him back in place.

"Don't panic, what's the rush? She's not even panicking." Junior Uncle's voice was extremely cold.

Mingxuan subconsciously tried to break free from his restraints, but as expected, his uncle was still his uncle, and he was also at the Integration Stage, yet he was firmly held in place by Xie Chuxue's hand and couldn't move.

Ye Qiao made a move at the same time; with a flick of her wrist, she transformed into more than a dozen sword shadows.

He quickly formed hand seals, becoming one with his sword. Tiny purple lightning swirled around him, and the deafening thunderous roar resembled a silver dragon soaring down from the sky. In the instant the massive thunderbolt struck, it split in two.

Half of it disappeared into the sword of Jinghong, and the other half disappeared into Ye Qiao's limbs and bones. The earth-shattering lightning tribulation was absorbed cleanly in turn. Her expression did not change at all, and she calmly looked at the sky.

She actually felt it was alright.

After all, it's only the first course.

It looked terrifying, but when it actually struck her, it wasn't as severe as when she was at the Nascent Soul stage. Her tribulation at that stage lasted for almost a month; she wasn't killed, but her spirit was restored. Ye Qiao cautiously looked at the sky, and surprisingly, she dared to think that this tribulation...

"It's pretty average."
