I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Just as Leng Qingyue was in a state of turmoil and lost in thought.

"BOOM—!!"

The ninth, and also the most terrifying, is the purple-gold lightning pillar.

A ten-thousand-foot-long thunder dragon with its claws bared.

With a ferocious force that seemed to tear the sky apart, it crashed down on Cao Kun in the center of the square.

This time, the gray wheel above Cao Kun's head did not rotate.

because,

The lightning bolt vanished without a trace the moment it struck Cao Kun.

Not to mention the deafening thunder, not even a faint arc of electricity could be emitted.

The Dao Wheel of All Dharmas Returning to Stillness has already been thoroughly analyzed and adapted to under the baptism of the first eight tribulations of lightning.

The pure primordial power flowed into Cao Kun's body through the Dao Wheel.

Hundreds of miles away.

The outer and inner sects of the Hehuan Sect were filled with countless elders and disciples who were awakened by this extraordinary phenomenon.

At this moment, they were all looking up, their expressions blank.

"Who's forming their Core with all this commotion?"

"That direction... is Lianxiang Peak!"

"That's impossible. Elder Yu is already in the late Golden Core stage. It couldn't possibly be Senior Sister Leng, could it?"

"Could it be that Cao Kun?"

"Bullshit, you five-spice spicy fart combo!"

"He only demonstrated his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation on the Life and Death Arena a few days ago, how could he have formed his Core so quickly!"

"They're out for a horse walk! The aura at the center of those tribulation clouds really does seem to belong to Cao Kun!"

Deep within the inner gate, there are several blessed lands and grottoes.

Several faint divine senses were probed out, but they were repelled by the residual power of the tribulation lightning as soon as they touched the edge of Lianxiang Peak.

The elders who were in seclusion looked horrified.

Such a high-quality lightning tribulation is something the Hehuan Sect has never heard of in its thousand-year history!

Where did Yu Linglong find this monster?

At this moment, at the edge of the square.

Yu Linglong removed the defensive barrier.

Her alluring peach blossom eyes were wide open, and her full red lips were slightly parted.

She was closest and saw it most clearly.

The final lightning bolt, powerful enough to obliterate an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, struck Cao Kun without leaving a single mark.

What made her even more uneasy was the gradually calming aura within Cao Kun's body.

A perfectly round, flawless golden elixir, interwoven with purple and gold, slowly circulated within his dantian.

The pressure emanating from that golden core was even more solid and heavy than her own golden core, which had been forged over three hundred years!

How could a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core stage have such a foundation that he completely overwhelms a late-stage Golden Core expert?

Yu Linglong involuntarily became anxious.

Her long, slender legs suddenly went weak uncontrollably.

[Ding! The jade beast, Yu Linglong, witnesses the host's divine power and is deeply shocked and captivated.]

Taming value +5.

[Current taming value: 70/100.]

[Reward: 500 mission points.]

A system notification sounded in Cao Kun's mind.

……

Meanwhile, outside the herb garden on the back mountain.

Leng Qingyue's mind was in turmoil at this moment.

"Senior Brother Cao... he lied to me?"

The thought had barely surfaced when it was suppressed by the psychological suggestion brought about by the Purple Gold Bell.

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

To detoxify me, Senior Brother Cao even risked his life, which was depleted of his vital energy.

How could he possibly be the kind of fickle, manipulative hypocrite?

This black ring must just be a common ritual implement with a similar design.

Yes, there are countless magical artifacts in the cultivation world, so it's quite normal for them to happen to look the same.

But... is it really that coincidental?

If it's just an ordinary magical artifact, why would Rumeng cover it up so tightly?

Moreover, she doesn't stay in seclusion on Hundred Flowers Peak in the middle of the night.

Why would she come to the herb garden wearing such a provocative red dress?

And there's also Master...

Why is Master so vehemently opposing my relationship with Senior Brother Cao lately?

And every time she mentions Senior Brother Cao, her expression is so strange?

Leng Qingyue bit her lip.

Even if...

Even if Senior Brother Cao really does have some unspeakable relationship with Master and Rumeng in secret,

So what?

Was Senior Brother Cao's kindness towards me genuine?

He used his vital energy to remove the cold poison that had plagued me for twenty years.

Give me the precious advancement pills to help me break through.

How can such genuine kindness be erased with a little suspicion!

"Ding-dong—"

The purple-gold bell on her ankle tinkled in the night breeze.

Leng Qingyue lowered her head, her gaze falling on the small, exquisite bell.

A purple-gold aura flowed under the moon.

She looked up again and glanced at the rough, cold, black iron ring around Liu Rumeng's neck, which resembled a chain buckle.

Leng Qingyue's previously tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

She found the perfect answer in her heart.

Even if I'm not the only woman in his life.

But he put this purple-gold bell on my head himself.

Moreover, the only things worn around the necks of Rumeng and her master were ugly iron rings.

My bell is beautiful and exquisite, and wearing it on my ankle adds endless charm!

I'm the first one!

I am the most special one!

They were at most just occasional playthings or cauldrons for Senior Brother Cao.

And I am the one he truly treats as his official wife!

At this moment, logic forms a perfect closed loop.

The gloom on Leng Qingyue's face vanished, replaced by her usual aloof and proud expression.

She grabbed Liu Rumeng's wrist.

"Ru Meng, Senior Brother Cao has achieved Core Formation! This is incredibly joyous news!"

Liu Rumeng stumbled as she was pulled, her face full of astonishment.

"Don't you...don't you think something's...off?"

"Is something wrong? Come on! Let's go congratulate Senior Brother Cao!"

Without giving a chance to explain, Leng Qingyue grabbed Liu Rumeng and flew towards the main hall square.

Liu Rumeng was forcibly pulled onto the flying sword, and a cold wind rushed into her collar.

She looked at her best friend, who was beaming with excitement, and inwardly roared.

Silly girl, wake up!

I saw that scrutinizing look in your eyes just now. You're not blind. Didn't you see the black ring on my neck?

Don't you wonder why I'm standing here dressed like a vixen in heat in the middle of the night?

You've been cheated on, do you even know that?

That bastard, that old lecher, not only fooled you completely.

They even used those utterly depraved magical artifacts.

He turned your best friend into a helpless pet!

But she could only scream these words inside her.

The animal ring around her neck seemed to sense her emotional fluctuations and began to feel faintly hot.

It constantly reminds her of her lowly status as a jade beast.

"I...I think I won't go." Liu Rumeng tried to break free.

"How can that be!" Leng Qingyue gripped tightly.

"You previously called Senior Brother Cao a lecherous old man. Today, I'll show you firsthand just how powerful he is!"

My man...

Upon hearing these four words, Liu Rumeng's eyes twitched, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest from anger.

……

White Jade Square.

Cao Kun slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of purple-gold lightning streaked across his deep pupils.

The surrounding spiritual energy storm gradually subsided.

He clenched his fist, feeling the spiritual power within his body surge exponentially, and nodded in satisfaction.

He has reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, the Chaos Unification Technique transforms all spiritual power into the highest quality chaotic power.

It works in conjunction with the abnormal defense and feedback mechanisms of the Dao Wheel of All Dharmas Returning to Stillness.

To put it bluntly...

Even if Su Changhe himself were standing right here, he would dare to confront him head-on.

Yu Linglong straightened her slightly disheveled purple dress.

She strode forward with her long, slender legs, ready to pounce into Cao Kun's arms and fawn over him for his praise.

"Swish! Swish!"

Two sharp sword lights descended from the sky.

Leng Qingyue pulled Liu Rumeng, who was wearing a red dress, and they landed steadily at the edge of the square.
