Facing the Difficulties

"Senior Sister Cheng, are we really not going to get involved?"

Lin Yuran watched the lightning tribulation in the distance with Cheng Xue. Lin Yuran asked curiously, "With Senior Sister's strength, wouldn't it be too difficult to obtain the Supreme Treasure?"

"Don't rush. We're not far from the Supreme Treasure either. It's better to let them fight each other first, and then we can go. This will save a lot of effort," Cheng Xue shook her head and said. Although she was powerful, she would still be overwhelmed if she had to face so many Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

"Oh." Lin Yuran nodded as if she understood, but not entirely. Actually, there was something Cheng Xue hadn't said. For some reason, she always felt that this lightning tribulation might have something to do with Lu Jiuyuan.

Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had already engaged with the lightning tribulation. A Flood Dragon needed to endure nine layers of lightning strikes to transform into a True Dragon. Only by passing through them could it metamorphose into a True Dragon.

"Hahaha, bring it on! Your Uncle Dragon isn't afraid!" The Flood Dragon allowed the terrifying lightning to strike its body. Having been bathed in the Glazed Treasure Liquid for a long time, its physical body had been strengthened to an extremely terrifying degree. It could be said that someone at Foundation Establishment Peak was a match for someone at Golden Core Stage.

Outside, the Qi Refining Stage cultivators had gathered at the edge of the lightning tribulation. Feeling its power, they couldn't help but frown. If they were inside, they would surely be blasted into nothingness. However, they immediately thought of the Supreme Treasure within. Since it could attract a lightning tribulation, it must be of great help to them. No one thought that the one undergoing the tribulation was a living being. After all, only those breaking through to the Golden Core Stage needed to undergo tribulation, and it was impossible to break through to the Golden Core Stage within the Secret Realm. They simply hadn't considered the possibility of a bloodline breakthrough for a living being.

At the same time, deep underground, Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping's talents began to advance under the nourishment of the Glazed Treasure Liquid. Li Qingping had already advanced from Yellow Grade talent to Foundation Establishment Peak, and she wasn't stopping. It seemed she would likely break through to Heaven Grade. As for Lu Jiuyuan, his talent had begun to loosen. Soon, with a tremor of his body, a dazzling golden light emanated from him, signifying that Lu Jiuyuan's talent had advanced from Heaven Grade Peak to Immortal Grade Low Rank, but it didn't stop there. It continued to break through. It seemed Lu Jiuyuan was about to break through to Immortal Grade Peak talent.

Meanwhile, outside, the Flood Dragon, continuously bathed by the lightning tribulation, was shedding its gray scales. Beneath the scales was a large expanse of gold. Only after the scales turned golden would the Flood Dragon's transformation be successfully completed, and only then could it be called a True Dragon.

At this moment, the Qi Refining Stage cultivators watching from outside realized something was wrong.

"Wait, the one undergoing the tribulation seems to be a living being!" One sharp-eyed cultivator glimpsed something, and his expression became serious. He had seen a huge figure flash past within the lightning tribulation earlier.

"No way, anyone who can attract a lightning tribulation must be at least a Golden Core Stage living being. How could it appear in the Secret Realm?" a cultivator retorted. But just then, a massive dragon roar echoed from within the lightning tribulation. This time, the numerous cultivators finally realized that the one undergoing the tribulation was probably not some Supreme Divine Artifact. On the contrary, the living being undergoing the tribulation within was enough to cost them their lives.

"Everyone, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!" At this moment, a cultivator bowed and then flew away into the distance. He didn't believe that so many people could contend against such a deadly entity.

Where there's one, there are two. Soon, the cultivators present gradually left. Out of over ten thousand cultivators, only a little over five thousand remained. They wanted to subdue the creature within and make it their spirit beast. A living being that could attract a lightning tribulation must have a supreme bloodline. If they could capture it for their own use, it would definitely bring them significant improvement. Of course, the reason they stayed was because they knew that their cultivation in the Secret Realm could absolutely not reach the Golden Core Stage, and after the tribulation, the creature's strength would definitely not be too high. Even against someone at Foundation Establishment Peak, they would have a chance to fight.

Cheng Xue and Lin Yuran, who were in the distance, naturally heard the dragon's roar, and their brows furrowed.

"Senior Sister, if it were you, would you be confident in subduing this demonic beast?" Lin Yuran asked curiously. Cheng Xue simply shook her head.

"Difficult, very difficult. After all, it can attract a lightning tribulation, so the cultivation of the living being undergoing the tribulation definitely won't be low." "However, if so many people can deplete the creature's strength, perhaps there's a slim chance of success." Cheng Xue's heart began to stir. A being that could attract a lightning tribulation would surely have great future achievements. If she could subdue it, it would definitely bring immense help.

Meanwhile, Li Qingping's talent successfully broke through to Heaven Grade with the help of the Glazed Treasure Liquid. After breaking through to Heaven Grade, Li Qingping could feel that her absorption of spiritual energy had become much more fluid. After waking up, Li Qingping immediately looked at Lu Jiuyuan. She saw that Lu Jiuyuan was emitting bursts of golden light, and as it shone on her, she felt a warmth.

"Is Jiuyuan about to break through to Immortal Grade talent?" Li Qingping said, still in shock. Then, she witnessed something that shocked her for an entire year. As the golden light around Lu Jiuyuan intensified, the Glazed Treasure Liquid in the entire pool surged towards Lu Jiuyuan's body.

"My heavens, is he going to absorb all the Glazed Treasure Liquid?" Li Qingping's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew that she had only absorbed a little and had already broken through to Heaven Grade early stage. If Lu Jiuyuan absorbed the entire pool of Glazed Treasure Liquid, wouldn't he break through to Immortal Grade Peak? Moreover, the most crucial thing was that this placed extremely harsh demands on the body's capacity to withstand it. If he couldn't bear it, he could very well explode and die.

However, Lu Jiuyuan at this moment was unaware. He felt as if he was bathed in the primordial chaos of heaven and earth, and his body was regaining its original brilliance as it was transformed by the Glazed Treasure Liquid. Lu Jiuyuan's talent had long since broken through to Immortal Grade. As the Glazed Treasure Liquid continued to pour into his body, his talent began to impact higher and higher levels. Immortal Grade Middle Rank, Immortal Grade High Rank, Immortal Grade Peak. It only stopped after breaking through to Immortal Grade Peak. However, the Glazed Treasure Liquid had not yet been fully absorbed and continued to surge into Lu Jiuyuan's body. Seeing this, Li Qingping was stunned. After a moment, she recovered and said with a look of shock, "Jiuyuan is forging the Glazed Immortal Body!"
