[Special Event - The Azure Dynasty's Counterattack]
[As the Wu Clan occupied the borders of the Azure Dynasty, more and more experts from the Azure Dynasty emerged from seclusion. Together with the border region, they resisted the Wu Clan, and the initial decline was slightly reversed.]
In this chaotic time where it was tacitly agreed that cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage and above could not interfere, the Azure Dynasty was like fighting a guerrilla war with the Wu Clan. It was difficult for them to mount an effective offensive against the Wu Clan, and the borderlands had almost become the Wu Clan's backyard.
But at least there was some good news.
[After many years at the peak of the Golden Core stage, Xu Cuihua has formed her nascent spirit and gained control over Heaven and Earth Qi. The three-tailed demon fox within her body, the 'Moon Shadow Spirit Beast,' is about to transform into its Form Transformation stage - the six-tailed demon fox, the Thousand Charms Sky Fox!]
"The family is finally going to have its first Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"
Li Wei was overjoyed.
Neither Xuan Tianzi, the intermediate-level war puppet 'Azure Flood Dragon,' nor the Raging Sky Flood Dragon truly counted as Nascent Soul cultivators belonging to the family.
"Four Nascent Soul cultivators!"
At this moment, Xu Cuihua was inside the ancestral hall, and the family members were inside the ancestral hall, watching Xu Cuihua with concern.
Li Dalong's expression was serious. "Wife, with the experience of the guardian spirit beast, you must be extremely cautious during this breakthrough. The heavenly tribulation is not to be taken lightly. Over the years, I've used the Heaven-Piercing to refine a Heavenly Corpse that doesn't yet have a spirit. It will specifically transmit spiritual power to you. When the heavenly lightning strikes, your spiritual power will be boundless. If you really can't withstand it, don't absorb any more of the tribulation force. Let the Heavenly Corpse take the hits for you."
"Alright."
Xu Cuihua smiled radiantly.
Following that, the Li family descendants all brought out their treasures.
"Mother, this sword contains my sword intent. If you take it into your body, it can resist the thunder's power, protect your flesh from harm, and withstand three waves of lightning."
"I have forged a set of armor for you, Mother. It has the weapons of your seven children embedded in it. Their weapons were once 'Blood-Drinking Demonic Blades.' Together with my armor, they can negate ten percent of the heavenly tribulation's power. What if it gets shattered? Don't worry, Mother, they are all tough and resilient. It doesn't matter if they lose their weapons."
"Your second sister sent back the jade pendant given to her by the Demon Lord, which can help you recover from injuries within the space of ten finger snaps. Your second sister also sent ten seventh-grade spirit medicines, which are also miraculous medicines for rapid recovery. I have written a text, the 'Four Scriptures of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter,' and a painting, the 'Vast Sea, Mountains, and Rivers,' using 100,000 remnants of Wu Clan souls as an offering. They can greatly assist in blocking another six waves of the heavenly tribulation for you, Mother. You can use the text to substitute the false for the real, letting those 100,000 remnant souls bear the punishment and receive the Heaven and Earth Qi."
As the second-generation members volunteered one after another.
The other descendants also immediately demonstrated their filial piety.
"Your grandson has nothing much to offer, but I spent five years in the Thunderfire Demon Cave fighting the Demon-Subduing Alliance to forge this formation plate. It gathers the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and can add one layer of the ultimate number nine. Big Brother also sent something back. It's a piece of the starry sky from the Skyveil Hall, to protect your soul, Grandmother."
"Why are you looking at us... Dad already gave our weapons to Grandmother..."
"I am willing to lead the seniors there to stand guard for you and set up a ritual altar! Twenty-eight of our honored elders have all passed their tribulations, they have experience."
"Would you like to... wear a tortoise shell?"
"I'll contribute ten Wu Clan totems! What? These totems were obtained through murder and robbery, and they have resentful energy? Nonsense, the people I killed have long since lost their souls... Fourth Aunt, why are you locking me up again..."
After the gift-giving, Xu Cuihua smiled with satisfaction, stroking the full storage ring, and headed to the tribulation site together with the clan members.
Preparations were thorough.
In just one short year, Xu Cuihua had already completed her breakthrough!
Various pieces of information flooded into view.
[Totem shattered... Totem shattered... Jade pendant shattered...]
[Xu Cuihua's palms were burned by the thunder tribulation. She and Moon Shadow Spirit Beast finally, with great difficulty, passed the six-nine thunder tribulation! She has broken through to become a six-tailed demon fox — the Thousand Charms Sky Fox!]
[Awakened the Sky Fox bloodline, obtained the demonic fox bloodline techniques: Thousand Shadows of Enchantment, Thousand Faces and Hundred Paths Formula, and Sky Fox's Descent Technique.]
[Acquired Trait: Half-Demon]
[Xu Cuihua's bloodline has completely merged with the demon fox bloodline within her body. The demon fox has become her Nascent Soul. As a half-demon, her cultivation speed is increased by 20%, and her speed of comprehending Heaven and Earth Qi is increased by 20%! She can hide in the human world like a human, and she can also engage in dual cultivation with men like a demon, absorbing their essence to further increase her cultivation speed.]
"Huh?"
Li Wei was momentarily stunned, secretly thinking that Li Dalong was in for a rough time. One draining session would take ten days to half a month to recover from. He sighed, "Aigh, this means they won't be able to show off their affection in front of me every day anymore. It truly makes this old ancestor sad, ha... hahaha!"
Not long after, Xu Cuihua returned. With her half-demon form, she appeared in human form, looking to be at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Naturally, she had come home. The current Xu Cuihua was absolutely beautiful!
Li Wei was waiting for Li Dalong to fly into a rage, but his expression froze.
He saw that after hearing the news, Li Dalong burst into laughter. The couple embraced. With no juniors around, Li Dalong was unrestrained, hugging Xu Cuihua and giving her a flurry of kisses. "That's wonderful, wife! Inside the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, I have an endless supply of essence. I can help you cultivate!"
"Look at you, you old rascal. Over a hundred years old and still so improper."
Xu Cuihua, her face flushed, tapped Li Dalong on the forehead, then took his hand, "Come on, let's get in the coffin."
"Thump."
The coffin lid closed.
Li Wei's eyelids and facial muscles were twitching. He clenched his fists tightly and slapped his thighs for a long time before returning to the forging pavilion to continue his cultivation.
Hmm, the sound of Li Yaotie forging is still more pleasant to the ears.
