Traces of a Dao Companion, Breaking Through to the Peak of Mid-Stage Spirit Transformation

"Breaking through within the Demon-Sealing Cave may be dangerous, but undergoing tribulation here would let her rely on the favorable terrain to some extent."

Wei Tu pondered inwardly and understood Gong Shulan's intentions.

Although the Weapon-Activation Platform within the Demon-Sealing Cave could not protect Gong Shulan as thoroughly as a defensive spirit treasure, weakening a portion of the blood-colored tribulation lightning's might would not be difficult.

And that was where the chance of survival lay for demonic cultivators like Gong Shulan when facing blood-colored tribulation lightning.

One month later.

The Spirit Transformation heavenly tribulation, which had blanketed dozens of miles, slowly dispersed, and sunlight once more spilled down from the sky.

The nine bolts of blood-colored tribulation lightning had all passed. Taking advantage of the lightning striking into the Demon-Sealing Cave, Wei Tu, stationed outside Golden Flame Island, sensed Gong Shulan's faint yet enduring life force within.

"She should be safe now." Wei Tu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether out of friendship or an investor's mindset, he did not wish for Gong Shulan to perish at this time.

"Greetings, Venerable Wei." Several months later, Gong Shulan escaped from Golden Flame Island. Her face brimming with delight, she gave Wei Tu, who sat cross-legged in midair, a graceful bow.

Wei Tu still lingered outside Golden Flame Island. It was not difficult for her to see that he had remained to safeguard her path, preventing passing scoundrels from disturbing her and taking advantage of her weakness.

"Fairy Gong need not stand on ceremony. Your cultivation is now equal to Wei's, so simply call me Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Tu waved a hand, signaling Gong Shulan to change how she addressed him.

Gong Shulan naturally did not insist. She immediately changed "Venerable Wei" to the more familiar "Fellow Daoist Wei."
