With a slight sense of unease, Fang Yun'er cultivated even more diligently and assiduously.
She had a large amount of resources at her disposal, and there were almost no restrictions on the pills she consumed, so she did so without any restraint.
Even so, it took her about half a year to go from entering the peak to reaching the Heavenly Venerable peak.
This scene made Fang Yun'er realize once again just how poor her aptitude was.
However, the only advantage is that there seems to be no threshold to reach it; after reaching the peak of the Heavenly Venerable, one will naturally face the tribulation of the Thearch Realm...
She was finally able to see her master again because of this.
"Master..."
The moment Fang Yun'er saw her master again, she couldn't help but bite her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, filled with a mix of grievance and deep unease. She called out softly, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She desperately wanted to know if her master was disappointed in her; otherwise, why hadn't he summoned her for so long?
But she didn't dare.
She's always been sensitive; what if her master is just too busy...?
Lin Xuan glanced at the line of tears on Fang Yun'er's cheek, feeling slightly helpless, and reached out to pat her head.
Don't cry.
"Your teacher is here."
Just one sentence, yet it instantly calmed Fang Yun'er's heart.
Lin Xuan then took out a bottle of pills, his expression solemn as he spoke, " Yun'er, you are about to break through to the Thearch Realm, and the Heavenly Tribulation will befall you. I have already set up an array for you. Here is a bottle of Hundred-Death Profound Heart Pill. When the Heavenly Tribulation descends, calculate the appropriate time and swallow the pills. Do you understand?"
Hundred-Death Profound Heart Pill...?
Fang Yun'er was momentarily at a loss.
What kind of elixir is this?
That sounds really strange.
But Master would never harm me.
She gripped the medicine bottle tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Master."
only...
What constitutes the right time?
Feeling lost and confused, she obediently stepped into the formation Lin Xuan had prepared for her, mobilizing her Spiritual Power to begin her breakthrough.
The gates to the Thearch Realm lay ajar before her, as if they could be opened at any moment with the slightest effort.
It's strange, really.
Although she was not very talented, perhaps that was the advantage of her poor talent. From childhood to adulthood, she never experienced any bottlenecks or barriers in her cultivation.
My mother said, "Maybe it's just that fools have a lucky streak..."
She closed her eyes briefly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Mother is right.
I am truly blessed.
Otherwise, how could I have met my master?
As the Spiritual Power energy within Fang Yun'er's body circulated, the sky above the clouds quickly turned deep black, with thunder rumbling as if it would fall at any moment, and faintly visible purple lightning dragons roaring within the clouds.
Even though she knew she shouldn't get distracted, a hint of doubt still surfaced in Fang Yun'er's mind.
wrong...
Is that correct?
Why is the intensity of this Thearch Realm Heavenly Tribulation different from what I expected?
I've seen other members of the Fang Lineage break through, and it seems that none of them experienced a lightning tribulation as terrifying as mine.
Even before the lightning strikes, her skin can already feel the whipping of the lightning and is beginning to sting.
Don't get distracted.
From afar came a soft shout from her master. Fang Yun'er immediately calmed herself down, focused her mind, and drew her attention back to the present moment.
That's enough.
Why think so much?
Anyway, we still have our master!
Little did they know, Lin Xuan, not far away, felt a sense of helplessness for the first time ever.
Fang Yun'er...
He originally thought he had just taken on an ordinary apprentice with average talent, but he never expected that this ordinary apprentice would be the most extraordinary one.
Now he focused his gaze again on Fang Yun'er.
Name: Fang Yun'er
Age: 16
Realm: Peak Heavenly Venerable
Identity: Fourteenth daughter of a collateral branch of the Fang Household in Jinglan City; Direct Disciple of the deputy Peak Master of Ximu Peak in the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Destiny: Weak Willow Swaying in the Wind (Green Rank 9)
Recent events: After entering the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, he worried that his master would be disappointed in him. He tried hard to cultivate but could not achieve any results. He then relied on consuming pills to enter the Thearch Realm.
The last time Lin Xuan checked on Fang Yun'er was six months ago; she was still a seventh-grade Celestial Fate!
Now, however, he has fallen to the ninth rank!
If he didn't have the system, he probably wouldn't have been able to find out the reason.
Several months ago, he bestowed many pills and Law Treasure upon Fang Yun'er, and the system returned the benefits to him.
However, aside from some resources that he could use, there were several other things that were completely unrelated to him.
They are: Hundred-Death Profound Heart Pill, Nine-Turn Gu Sword Instruction, and Record of Ten Thousand Gu.
With some uncertainty, Lin Xuan opened the " Record of Ten Thousand Gu " and found something that perfectly matched Fang Yun'er's situation.
Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu!
In its infancy, this Gu worm will reside in the cultivator's body and completely hide itself. Even if Great Saint comes, as long as the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu is unwilling to expose itself, it will be impossible to detect it.
The cultivators Heaven-Devouring Gu are absolutely exceptionally talented!
It can't even be described as excellent.
He's a prodigy! Possessing aptitude that drives people mad!
Because the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu devours heaven and earth, Spiritual Power, and all things; it can even devour itself when extremely hungry!
It is extremely vulnerable in its infancy, surviving by devouring the talents and aptitudes of cultivators, but basically no cultivator can withstand the speed at which it is devoured.
But Fang Yun'er held on!
Not only did she survive, she also successfully endured the Thearch Realm Tribulation. Of course, without Lin Xuan, she probably wouldn't have made it. This was Fang Yun'er's fortuitous opportunity.
It should be noted that to detect the existence of the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu, one must wait until the Thearch Realm tribulation to even glimpse a trace of it.
However, with their talents devoured, how could any cultivator possibly survive to reach the Thearch Realm?
How rare must elixirs and treasures be to replenish one's innate talent?
Even in High Antiquity times, some noble sons of immortal sects couldn't withstand it!
Talent is something...
Often, once something is swallowed up, it can never be recovered.
The Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu feeds on the natural talents of cultivators.
Only at the Thearch Realm can a cultivator possibly tame the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu, completely merge with it, and gain even a slight chance to control it.
but...
This is too difficult!
This is just too difficult!
Therefore, this kind of Gu worm is only considered a legend, let alone in the Central Continent Eastern Continent.
However, while the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu has considerable drawbacks, it is not without its benefits.
Once you form a complete bond with this Gu worm, you can rapidly replenish your lost talent in a very short time. Furthermore, in the future, both your cultivation speed and natural talent will increase significantly.
And the most terrifying thing is...
The Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu has nine turns.
Each transformation will enhance a cultivator's talent.
Furthermore, its fundamental ability is " Your Life Is Like My Life," meaning that cultivators who possess the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu can refine a substitute and gain the opportunity to die in place of another!
Even if Heavenly Dao were to punish them, they could still survive!
And now...
The lightning tribulation of the Thearch Realm descended wildly, and Lin Xuan stared intently at Fang Yun'er's panel.
Soon, her panel started to fluctuate.
Name: Fang Yun'er
Age: 16
Realm: Peak Heavenly Venerable
Identity: Fourteenth daughter of a collateral branch of the Fang Household in Jinglan City; Direct Disciple of the deputy Peak Master of Ximu Peak in the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Destiny: Weak Willow Swaying in the Wind (Green Rank 9)
Recent events: His talent and cultivation were devoured by the Nine-Turn Heaven-Devouring Gu. Now the Gu worm has revived and he is undergoing the first tribulation.
