Qian Xunji looked up and saw that the stone door was completely white and emitted a faint golden light.
"Just go in?"
"Yes, just go in."
"Oh, by the way, I have to tell you clearly before I go in - this Holy Light Body Tempering, it really hurts."
Qian Xunji looked at it, "How much does it hurt?"
Great Immortal Huang thought for a while and made a gesture with his paw.
"Let me tell you this, when I was working with God of Light, I personally saw an examiner run out screaming within a quarter of an hour after entering. His body was so miserable that his skin was bruised and bruised."
Qian Xunji: "..."
"What happened next?"
"Dead, the body was burned."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji felt a little confused, "Are you trying to scare me or persuade me?"
"Both are available." Great Immortal Huang chuckled, "I have to make you mentally prepared."
Qian Xunji looked at its foxy face that needed a beating and suddenly smiled.
"If I give up, Dong'er will be disappointed."
"Who is Dong'er?"
"My wife."
Great Immortal Huang was stunned for a moment, "Do you have a wife?"
"Hmm."
"And there's a baby?"
"Hmm."
Great Immortal Huang's fox's face showed three parts surprise, three parts admiration, and four parts "You are quite awesome."
"Then why are you still going in and suffering? Your wife and children will be on the hot bed, and your life will be dull and boring, won't you?"
Qian Xunji shook his head, "It's because of them that I want to go in."
"I have to become stronger to protect them."
Great Immortal Huang looked at him and was silent for a while.
Then it stretched out its fat paws and patted his legs, which were just out of reach of its shoulders.
"Okay, you have the guts, go in."
Qian Xunji nodded and reached out to push open the stone door.
Suddenly, a hot breath hit his face.
He took two steps back. The heat was hotter than the light of First Trial.
Then, he took a deep breath and strode in.
Qian Xunji stood on the edge of Sacred Altar and looked around.
This is a huge circular space with an invisible dome. The surrounding walls are covered with runes and are emitting a dazzling golden light.
In the center is a circular pool.
But the pool was not filled with water, but with fire.
The golden flame, the flame is burning brightly and golden.
"That's Sacred Altar?"
Qian Xunji stood by the pool, looking at the golden flames, and suddenly felt a little scared.
If you jump in, can you still come out alive?
But he didn't hesitate for long.
He took off his robe, revealing his muscular upper body.
Then he closed his eyes and jumped--
"Plop!"
Golden flames engulfed him.
It hurts.
It hurts like hell.
This was Qian Xunji's first reaction.
The golden flame is not like ordinary fire, but directly tempered...
flesh and blood.
Bones.
meridians.
soul.
Everything.
"Ah--!"
Qian Xunji couldn't help shouting.
He felt that his whole body was burning, every inch of skin was being torn, every bone was being crushed, and every meridian was being recast.
Pain.
It hurts too much.
He wanted to struggle, to crawl out, to give up.
But his body couldn't move at all. The golden flame seemed to be alive, pinning him to the bottom of the pool and burning him over and over again.
Skin cracks.
Flesh and blood melt.
Bones exposed.
Then, new skin begins to grow.
New flesh and blood began to coalesce.
New bones begin to form.
Stronger, tougher, and purer than before.
But the pain has not eased at all.
"Ah--!"
Qian Xunji shouted in pain again.
Just then, a voice came from above.
"What's your name? I heard it outside."
Qian Xunji looked up and saw a small figure lying there, looking down.
"How did you get in?"
"I have privileges. I am Divine Pet of God of Light. I can go wherever I want."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is too miserable."
"Look at your skin, it's all burned away."
"Look at your flesh, it's turned into water, look at your bones, they're all exposed -"
"Can you shut up!" Qian Xunji gritted his teeth.
Great Immortal Huang quickly covered its mouth, but within a few seconds, it couldn't help it anymore.
"Hey, do you feel any pain?"
"Come down and try it yourself!"
"That won't work, that won't work." Great Immortal Huang shook his head repeatedly, "I won't suffer this."
It looked at the painful look of Qian Xunji, and couldn't help but mutter, "You have only burned one round, and you still have to burn seven rounds. Can you hold on?"
Qian Xunji's heart sank.
Seven rounds?
Qian Xunji did not answer because there was no way to answer.
He endured the heartbreaking pain and endured the burning Holy Fire over and over again.
His consciousness began to blur, and the pain was so extreme that he could no longer feel the pain.
He felt like he was dreaming or experiencing a nightmare from which he would never wake up.
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
That was Bibi Dong. She was sitting on the balcony, stroking her bulging belly with her hands, looking into the distance.
Her eyes were full of worry, longing, and expectation.
Qian Xunji's tiger body trembled, "Fuck!"
Qian Xunji cursed, then he gritted his teeth and straightened his body.
Golden flames burned on his body, the skin cracked and healed, the flesh and blood melted and regenerated, and the bones shattered and condensed.
He was shaking all over in pain, his eyes were filled with stars, and he wanted to die.
But he did not fall, he stood there and let Holy Fire temper his body over and over again.
Spirit Hall--
Before dawn, a scream broke the tranquility of the night.
"Dong'er, Dong'er What's wrong with you?!"
Liu Xiulan woke up from his sleep and saw his daughter next to him sweating profusely, covering her stomach with her hands, and her face was frighteningly pale.
"Mom... I... I feel like something is coming out."
Liu Xiulan opened the quilt and took a look, his expression changed instantly.
"The amniotic water has broken! It's time to give birth!"
She jumped out of bed, rushed to the door and shouted, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! Dong'er is giving birth!"
For a moment, the entire dormitory immediately became chaotic.
The maids were running around in panic. Some went to call the midwife, some went to boil hot water, and some ran to inform others.
In less than a quarter of an hour, two midwives arrived in a hurry.
They are all Spirit City's most experienced midwives, and they were arranged by Elder Xue to live next door in advance just to cope with today.
"Quick, help Madam lie down quickly!"
"Hot water! Scissors! Clean white cloth!"
The room was busy.
At the same time, there were more and more people outside the dormitory.
Qian Daoliu was the first to arrive, standing there with his hands behind his hands, his face calm, but there was a hint of nervousness in his golden eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the four elders Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Jiang Mo, and Qian Jun also arrived.
Then there are Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Guangling Douluo of the Worship Hall--
They stood in the courtyard, although they did not speak.
Bi Dashan stood at the door, pacing back and forth.
Take two steps, stop, and look upstairs in the dormitory.
He took two more steps, stopped again, and looked upstairs again.
His face was full of anxiety and his lips were trembling.
"Why hasn't it healed yet... Why hasn't it healed yet..."
Bibi Xi and Ling Yuan stood holding hands.
Ling Yuan's palms were also sweating, but she tried to stay calm.
At the same time, Bi Dashan turned twice more and suddenly stopped.
"Where's Xunji? Why hasn't Xunji come back yet?"
Qian Daoliu glanced at him and said solemnly, "Don't worry, dear, he will definitely come back."
Hearing this, Bi Dashan had no choice but to swallow the words of blame.
