Feeling the divine power surging within her body, Jiang Tingting excitedly clenched her fist.
With a punch, a crackling sound of ice formed in the air, and a faint black fist imprint flashed and disappeared in the air.
A casual strike, without any deliberate use of divine power, already possessed the power of a full-force attack from a cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm.
Li Qingshan watched this scene with great satisfaction.
In just three months, he went from drawing in Qi to cultivating the Life Spring. Such speed would be considered "a prodigy" even in the top holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland.
On the very afternoon of the day Tingting successfully cultivated her Life Spring.
Li Qingshan suddenly felt that the accumulation within his body had reached its peak, and the great dragon in his spine emitted bursts of dragon roars, as if calling for a breakthrough.
"It's time."
Li Qingshan stood up and said to Old Jiang and Tingting, "I'm going to undergo tribulation and advance to the Seventh Transformation of Dragon Transformation."
"Stay in the restaurant and don't go out. I've set up a protective formation to ensure your safety."
Old Jiang nodded quickly. "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we won't go out. Please be careful!"
Tingting looked at him worriedly. "Master, won't undergoing tribulation be very dangerous?"
"Don't worry, Master is confident."
Li Qingshan smiled and patted her head, then turned and flew away in a rainbow. That was the place where he had survived the Sixth Transformation of Dragon Transformation.
It possesses the lingering influence of imperial rule, which can help him better cope with this tribulation.
Half an hour later, Li Qingshan stood in the sky above the volcanic cluster, which had already changed its appearance.
He channeled his divine power, drawing upon the thunderous force of heaven and earth, Seventh Transformation of Dragon Transformation descended.
The sixth change was even more terrifying. The thunder dragon in the clouds was no longer purple, but had a faint golden hue. It was thunder containing the power of Geng metal, which was extremely sharp and could cut through the flesh and tear apart the soul.
"Boom!"
The first golden lightning dragon descended, carrying the power to cleave through everything, and hurtled towards Li Qingshan.
As the thunderclouds dissipated, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Li Qingshan's body. He had undergone the Seventh Transformation of Dragon Transformation, resulting in another leap in the strength of his physical body. The dragon power in his spine was almost at its limit.
The limbs and bones contain terrifying power;
The Solar True Force within his body also became more profound and inclusive, possessing both the intensity of a raging fire and the vastness of the universe;
The great dragon of the spine let out a roar that pierced the heavens and the earth, about to penetrate the Five Great Secret Realms of the divine body, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth with every move it made.
Li Qingshan stood in the Void, his golden light not yet fully subsided, as if he were draped in a halo of starlight.
Just as he was about to turn and fly towards Green Forest Town, a hurried shout came from behind, tinged with respect and trepidation. "Senior, please wait!"
Li Qingshan paused slightly, his divine sense spreading out behind him, and he saw five Dao Body flying through the air.
The two leading figures were none other than Mo Chenzi, the sect leader of Burning Heaven Valley, and Zhang Lai, the Tai Shang Elder.
Behind him followed three Tai Shang Elders of the Dao Palace Realm, each with a look of awe on their faces. They deliberately concealed their divine light while flying, for fear of disturbing the figure in front of them.
Upon approaching, Mo Chenzi and Zhang Lai landed first, followed closely by the other elders. The four bowed deeply to Li Qingshan, their posture extremely humble. " Mo Chenzi and Zhang Lai of Burning Heaven Valley greet Senior!"
Li Qingshan turned around, his gaze calmly sweeping over the group, and asked indifferently, "What is it?"
Mo Chenzi quickly looked up, his face plastered with a respectful smile, and said sincerely, "Some time ago when you were undergoing your tribulation here, my inner disciples from Burning Heaven Valley, including myself, were quite disrespectful to you."
When we learned of this afterward, we were deeply terrified. Our senior was a celestial being, possessing the bearing of Great Emperor; how could he allow mere mortal disciples to speak against him!
He paused, his tone becoming increasingly solemn. "As a form of punishment, I have stripped Xu and the three disciples who were disrespectful that day of their cultivation and imprisoned them in the valley to await your judgment!"
They are ignorant of their own limitations and shallow in nature, therefore they are unworthy to embark on the path of spiritual cultivation!
Zhang Lai added from the side, "Senior, we have come here for two reasons: first, to apologize for our previous rudeness, and second, to offer a small gift, hoping for your understanding."
After saying that, Mo Chenzi took out a jade box from the Bitter Sea and presented it to him with both hands.
The moment the jade box was opened, a scorching heat rushed out. Inside the box was a jade bottle, and when opened, flames seemed to flow inside, radiating the intense heat of the earth's veins—it was the Earthcore Flame Marrow.
"This is the Earthcore Flame Marrow, born deep within the earth's veins of my Burning Heaven Valley, formed over countless years."
Mo Chenzi explained.
"It contains the power of the earth's veins, which is of great benefit to cultivation and can also enhance the foundation for future generations."
Although it cannot compare to your divine treasure, it is the most sincere gift that my Burning Heaven Valley can offer at present. I hope you will not reject it.
Li Qingshan looked at the Earthcore Flame Marrow in the jade box and immediately knew its value with a sweep of his divine sense.
The earth vein power within this fiery marrow is extremely pure, without any impurities.
However, it had limited effect on him.
However, it is quite useful for Tingting, as it may be able to use the power of the earth's veins to harmonize the Lunar Origin and delay the backlash from her constitution.
A thought flickered in his mind. He knew that Burning Heaven Valley's actions were to appease him and resolve any misunderstandings, fearing that he might hold a grudge about the past. They were quite pragmatic.
"There's no need to discuss punishment further."
Li Qingshan reached out and took the jade box, storing it in the Bitter Sea, his tone indifferent.
I will accept this item.
The Cause and Effect have been resolved, and I will not dwell on the past.
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenzi and Zhang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles of relief finally appeared on their faces.
Zhang Lai quickly replied, "Senior, you are so magnanimous!"
If you ever need my assistance in the future, senior, even though Burning Heaven Valley is of meager strength, I am willing to do my utmost!
We'll talk about it later.
Li Qingshan waved his hand.
"You may leave. I have urgent business to attend to and cannot stay any longer."
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll take our leave now, so as not to disturb you any longer!"
Mo Chenzi and Zhang Lai bowed again, then led the three elders away in the air.
They maintained a respectful distance during the flight, not daring to overstep it in the slightest.
Only after Li Qingshan's figure completely disappeared into the horizon did Mo Chenzi exhale a long breath, wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and say with deep emotion, "Elder Zhang, you saw it just now too. Senior has just completed his tribulation, yet his aura is already so restrained. Every move he makes carries the Universe Dao. Such cultivation and state of mind are beyond our reach!"
Zhang Lai gazed in the direction Li Qingshan had left, his eyes filled with complex emotions—awe mixed with a hint of relief. "He's more than just out of reach."
We have cultivated to the Dao Palace First Heaven for decades, yet we have never been able to touch upon the higher levels of Daoist essence.
"And this senior, who appears to be no more than twenty years old, is already able to summon the Emperor's Shadow and control Yin-Yang and Yang. Such cultivation and talent are beyond my wildest imagination!!!"
He paused, then said, "Fortunately, we have now punished the disrespectful disciple and offered the Earthcore Flame Marrow, thus finally settling this Cause and Effect."
From now on, Burning Heaven Valley will no longer have to live in fear. It is already a blessing for Burning Heaven Valley to be able to resolve the misunderstanding with such a person.
Mo Chenzi nodded repeatedly, the tension in his eyes completely disappearing, replaced by relief. "That's right! With Senior's words of not dwelling on the past, our Burning Heaven Valley can at least remain safe."
If the opportunity arises in the future, I may seek to curry favor with my seniors and perhaps even gain some benefit from their influence.
The five increased their flying speed and sped towards Burning Heaven Valley, their figures quickly disappearing into the clouds.
