Qian Jing sent a distress message to her teacher at the last moment.
He then sealed himself, Shuiling, and the entire Jiangming City shrouded in thunderclouds with crystal.
Once the crystal is sealed, everything will stop.
All time, all space, all life were frozen under the protection of the crystal.
This is the safest magic Qian Jing can use to protect Jiangming City.
Qian Jing Spark Wave!
Inside the crystal, you don't need to worry about food or water; you only need to worry about when someone will fish you out.
Sometimes Qian Jing is really scared; she closes her eyes, then opens them again.
The world has changed dramatically.
Imagine yourself transformed into a future version of yourself, someone you wouldn't recognize. Time has passed, all familiar faces are gone, and you're left to survive alone in a strange world...
Therefore, when sealing it this time, Qian Jing specifically pulled Shuiling to her side to seal it together.
On one hand, it's to prevent the Shuiling from being struck by lightning; on the other hand, it's so that when I open my eyes and find the world has changed drastically, I'll have a friend by my side to huddle together for warmth...
As it turned out, her decision was correct.
After Qian Jing's crystal melted, she looked at the colossal structures rising from the edge of the city and the ubiquitous environmental changes, and she knew...
It's a disaster.
People are in the future, yet they have already traveled through time.
At first glance, it was just a series of mountains thousands of meters high on the edge of the city, but when Qian Jing's gaze swept around, she gasped in shock.
What surrounded Jiangming's entire city was not a mountain range, but a wall thousands of meters high!
Not only that, everything around me—the ground, walls, buildings, trees, and so on—was no longer the way I remembered it; instead, it had all turned purple!
Purple crystals kept falling off from above, and with each patter, Qian Jing felt the sky become slightly dizzyingly bright.
Teacher, I feel like I've turned into Grand Preceptor Li...
" Shuiling, Shuiling, we'll never see Master again, we've gone to the future, sob sob sob..."
After a moment of stunned silence, Qian Jing grabbed her friend next to her and burst into tears.
Because the surrounding environment had changed so drastically, the world had turned purple.
It even looks like it's after the apocalypse...
"Could we, Jiangming, be among the last humans in this world? How terrifying! Do you think we can be good Grand Preceptor Li and revive humanity?" Qian Jing sobbed, "Waaah, do you think we can be good emperors...?"
"Don't cry, Qian Jing."
Shuiling pointed blankly at the sky and asked, "Are you sure we've arrived in the future? Or is it that the Sect Master has also arrived in the future?"
I looked up.
Only then did I truly notice that the circular sky enclosed by the high walls was being cut apart by countless purple streaks.
One after another, enormous A-level Calamity Beast were pierced by purple arrows and pinned to the high wall.
The sky above the entire city once again transformed into a massive execution ground. Although the number of Calamity Beast strung together was not large, their sheer size still made them appear to Shrouding the Heavens, creating an incredibly terrifying sight.
On this day, the two finally recalled the terror of the Calamity Beast being once dominated by the sect leader's tyrannical power, and the humiliation they felt as dawn broke...
This time, not even the faint growl could be heard. The silent, Filthy Magic Power was burned into magical amethyst by the purple flames on the arrow, shattering and falling.
In the midst of their dazed state, a light drizzle of crystal shards began to fall.
"Is it possible that the sect leader's aesthetic has actually eroded the entire world, turning the whole world into a giant sect leader...?"
Qian Jing whispered as she wiped away her tears.
Shuiling stood up, patted her bottom, and pulled Qian Jing into the sky.
To avoid causing trouble for Jiangming City, they ran towards the outskirts of Jiangming City after being targeted by Zi Lei.
However, it was about to be struck by lightning halfway through its journey, so it had to be crystallized in the suburbs.
And incidentally, the entire city should also be included in the protection efforts.
So Qian Jing felt it was normal for this to happen in the future, because this suddenly appearing high wall looked like it had been formed over many years. Her teacher had taught her in his novels that such high walls, which are taller than ordinary mountains, are either formed inside a volcano or by the collision of two continents due to the movement of the Earth's core.
For example, ten thousand years have passed since the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Doumo Continent.
With its entire surface covered in purple crystals, at first glance, it does indeed resemble some future region, K.
But those Calamity Beast were simply too dazzling.
The chained-up Calamity Beast were clearly in the style of their sect leader.
Neither of them had actually met the Sect Master in person; they could only hear about how powerful the Sect Master was from their teacher, Bai Mei.
After all, magical girls of their level are not qualified to meet the sect leader.
I've heard that most inner disciples in the Azure Cloud Sect aren't even qualified to see the sect leader, let alone junior disciples like them from branch sects.
Although they have successively broken through to the Full Blossom stage, the inner sect assessment is simply too difficult.
The two of them prepared for the exam many times, hoping to pass it on their first try, but their scores in the mock exams were far below expectations...
Having dodged the falling rain of crystals and flown over the high wall, the road and forest outside came into view.
That was the forest area near Jiangming City, and the high wall they were trapped in was actually a huge pit, with purple lightning and charred blackness flowing around it. Jiangming City, which was submerged thousands of meters underground in the pit, was not exposed to sunlight. The awakened people began to shout, and their voices seemed to come from the abyss.
The two were so shocked that they couldn't move for a long time, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"There's a whole world beyond these high walls. We really are Grand Preceptor Li! Was this the Sect Master's doing?"
"Does it mean that once it's over the high walls, it'll be a complete failure? If it's only done ten thousand years later, then it really is a complete failure..."
"It might not be ten thousand years! Maybe it was Teacher Bai Mei who asked the Sect Master to intervene!"
Shuiling immediately made a judgment, "Quick, check if the teacher has replied to our message!"
Both of them simultaneously took out their phones and glanced at them.
All are unread.
The two looked at each other and both took a deep breath.
This means the teacher had no idea about their self-sealing—then somehow the sect leader discovered it, came to their aid, not only helping to unseal them but also eliminating the attacking Calamity Beast...
Although it's unknown where this heavenly lightning came from, or why it bears some resemblance to the sect leader's purple magic power.
But for a moment, both of them felt even more admiration and longing for the sect leader who was impossible to see.
"We must work hard to get into the inner sect and see what the sect leader is really like!"
Before dawn, reports from various places were flying around everywhere.
The phones kept ringing, and the magical girls were flying around everywhere.
Keke, who was next to Yinlian, naturally also saw the damage report.
The direct property damage caused by lightning is not high; in most cases, buildings will not be destroyed by the purple magical lightning.
All the lightning bolts are only targeted at the magical girl; even if she hides inside a building, the lightning will still pass through the building and strike her directly.
The only exception is the General Administration.
The person involved Iris, insisted that the Bureau's Purple Lightning would definitely destroy the building, so although she accidentally blew up half of the Bureau, she essentially protected the Bureau.
In the end, Golden Tea accepted this explanation and continued to promote Iris as a hero who protected the Bureau.
The exact number of magical girls attacked has not yet been fully tallied, but more than one hundred have been confirmed to have been struck by lightning.
The good news is that there were no casualties, and all the lightning strikes ended after the magical girl deactivated her transformation.
Even though Iris's Mental Image Domain Iris, the impact was not significant; she only tripped and fell, without any other injuries.
Keke breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, others might not be able to tell the difference between purple lightning and human lightning, but after being with her teacher for so long, how could she not be able to tell?
No one but Shion- sensei could have done this, directly spanning three regions and targeting so many magical girls.
Not only did they avoid buildings, but they also precisely stopped their attack just as the magical girl reverted to her original form...
As for the reason for doing so...
"After being struck by lightning and surviving, a purple magic suddenly appeared within the seed. I can freely convert my own magic into purple magic attributes, and I feel I have gained a deeper understanding and control over the changes in the nature of magic..."
That's right, so magical girls who get struck by lightning all have a purple magic power.
Furthermore, because of this extra magic, everyone gained control over both types of magic, and could even change the attribute of their own magic once.
This is why Teacher Shion is about to unleash heavenly lightning.
Keke had also noticed this, because she felt her control over magic had improved further, and she could even change the nature of her pure magic.
This is all due to the effects of Shion- sensei's lightning strike.
However, she wasn't entirely sure if it was just her or if everyone else had it. After confirming that everyone who had successfully overcome the tribulation had it, Keke breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Ms. Shion would never do anything pointless! Every action she took was carefully considered, and she always had her reasons!
However, correspondingly, the magical girls who successfully overcame their tribulations all experienced a significant improvement.
Those who fail also face significant penalties.
For example, the Yinlian.
As the team leader, she received the most phone calls after the Heavenly Tribulation ended. She handled all the communications and statistics from the headquarters, including orders from the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
After flying around the city for a long time and finishing all the business, he came back and hugged Keke with a long face.
"Coco, I finally reached the Middle Stage of Full Blossom, Keke my magic power has dropped back to the early stage..."
Yinlian looked aggrieved. "I called Dandelion, Dandelion said I'm now Full Blossom Seedling."
Keke paused, then asked, "What does 'Seedling' mean?"
"A magical girl who hasn't passed through the Early Full Blossom can't be considered a true Full Blossom magical girl. She may have the magical power of the Full Blossom, but she lacks its mysteries and supernatural abilities. She can only be called Full Blossom Seedling, and she can only bully the New Sprout Peak."
Yinlian said angrily, "She said that since I didn't pass the test, the heavenly lightning compressed my magic power and made me level up all over again. Now I can only be Seedling Magical Girl Liuli. She said such awful things, ugh..."
That's right, so all the magical girls who failed their tribulation dropped in level.
While they won't necessarily fall back to the initial New Sprout of Early Full Blossom Magical Girls, most of the Full Blossom Magical Girls will experience a significant increase in their total magical power once they enter this realm, definitely exceeding the Early Full Blossom.
As a result, once the heavenly lightning struck, the demonic power instantly shrank, dropping back to a level even less than that of the Early Full Blossom First Revolution, and not much different from that of the New Sprout Peak Great Perfection.
Yinlian was one of the unlucky ones.
Now she lies on Keke, heartbroken.
"Your teacher is really mean, Keke."
Keke patted her head. "Teacher is telling you to build a solid foundation, not to aim too high. Just improving your skill level won't make you strong enough if your foundation isn't solid. Teacher is doing this for your own good."
"You're just siding with Shion anyway!"
"No, I didn't! I'm telling the truth!"
Yinlian threw a tantrum like a child. "I don't care, I don't care! My cultivation level has dropped, you have to compensate me!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"You're the one who caused Shion's mess; the responsibility is shared between master and apprentice!"
"Heh, then go call the police."
Yinlian bit Keke's arm angrily, and Keke, not to be outdone, pinched her cheek in return.
The two girls bickered and teased each other as they returned to their room. Yinlian finally relented and pleaded, "Come with me for special training tomorrow, Keke. I don't want my cultivation level to drop so drastically. I don't want to be some kind of Seedling..."
"No, I want to read comics."
"I'll treat you to three creamy ice creams, one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner!"
"I'll think about it..."
The White Fox watched quietly as the two girls entered the house. Keke and Yinlian greeted her and asked if she was tired and if she wanted to rest.
However, the White Fox simply shook her head, politely thanked the two, and then remained seated on the sofa reading her novel.
I would glance out the window every now and then.
Even now, several hours have passed since the heavenly lightning struck.
That intense magical power could still be clearly sensed, permeating the entire space—no, perhaps the entire world.
They were all under the influence of that magic.
The White Fox knew better than anyone what it was and where it came from.
Shion.
Her goal was to become a well-known figure in the Old World.
The knuckles of her fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly, turning a little white, but White Fox quickly relaxed.
Because online sources say that "white knuckles" is a term used by machines.
Similarly, there's the act of throwing a pebble into a lake, with a resolute tone, a calm tone, or a cold tone—the string of reason.
These are all machine-generated terms that humans should avoid.
Having read more than half of the book, and having mastered some techniques, my reading speed has increased, and my comprehension has been further enhanced.
Even at the suggestion of her readers, she took the time to read other books and found some enjoyment in some of them.
Or rather, resonance.
They had already calmed down a bit, but then the earth-shattering purple lightning roared...
This made her somewhat uneasy.
Keke and Yinlian came over to ask her if she was hungry and wanted something to eat. After she refused, the two of them prepared breakfast and left a portion for her, placing it on the table.
"If you're hungry, you can eat."
"Thanks."
The two girls were struck by lightning last night, and after having breakfast this morning, they went back to their bedroom to catch up on sleep.
The White Fox stared at her phone, that page having remained untouched for a long time.
Each time she read a section, she would forget what she was reading and had to start over. This process repeated itself, and she had already read this chapter several times.
Why not turn the page?
He instinctively pulled out the knife, but the next second his wrist was firmly pressed down, and he couldn't move at all.
Looking up, she saw the boy who had left the house the night before staring at her indifferently.
She looked down again, and what she thought was a tight grip on her wrist turned out to be just a finger being pressed down.
When I gently placed my hand on her wrist, I felt as if I were being crushed by a mountain, to the point that I couldn't lift my entire arm.
"I was thinking about you, sir."
Jiang Si let go of Bai Hu's hand and picked up the breakfast her younger sister had made for White Fox. "Who gave you permission to think like that?"
The White Fox lowered its head, "I'm sorry."
Ignoring her, Jiang Si glanced at the contents of her phone while eating breakfast.
It's already halfway done, so the efficiency is pretty good.
However, simply learning theoretical content is not enough; we also need to teach some practical skills.
"Did you see the lightning yesterday?"
"I see you, sir."
Do you know who did it?
"It's Miss Shion, sir." The White Fox's finger moved gently, finally turning the page, " The Old World's Greatest Enemy of the Witch Association."
Have you seen her?
"Everyone who saw her is dead, sir," the White Fox said softly. "Of all the Old World she found, none survived. Even children fall silent at the mere mention of Shion's name."
Even knowing her strength, are you still going to seek revenge on her?
White Fox put down her phone, and Jiang Si did not scold her.
The girl raised her head, her gaze as empty and indifferent as ever; her beautiful eyelashes seemed unmoved, frozen stiff.
"This is the meaning of my life, sir."
That's a really boring answer.
This was not the answer Jiang Si wanted to hear.
"Didn't the Prince tell you that I never beat Shion?"
He has worked tirelessly to this day, searching everywhere for a way to advance, using the body of a demonic dragon, the body of a witch, and various other methods to improve his own abilities. Even the Golden Calamity Dragon King is still no match for Shion.
Not to mention that now that he has the Purple Mansion Mental Image, it is even more difficult for his physical body to defeat the Magical Girl Shion.
The White Fox simply said, "Only you have that possibility."
Who told you that?
" Prince Highness."
What are your own thoughts?
The girl simply looked up blankly.
Jiang Si touched her forehead and sighed.
What a troublesome guy.
Getting this thing to Full Bloom is Return to Truth a challenge.
However, that's what makes it fun to play.
As we all know, high difficulty is a key aspect of gameplay, and this White Fox is definitely a character with maximum gameplay potential.
This is going to be fun.
"Come with me to the Independent Mirror Space of the Old World Alliance today."
The White Fox observed his expression and instinctively said, "I'm sorry, please don't abandon me."
Is this the only sentence you know?
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be abandoned by you."
"... I'm just taking you to find people from the Old World to discuss Shion's actions this time."
"OK."
Inside the isolated Mirror Space, all was silent; no one turned on the lights.
It's called Mirror Space, but there isn't even a single mirror in it.
Everyone saw how that separate Mirror Space was destroyed by Shion's arrow.
Unauthorized observations of the Beihai, or even of the Shion, could easily be traced back to the source.
The people of the Old World were almost scared out of their wits.
The reason for this emergency meeting was that everyone felt uneasy in their own private spaces—although sticking together didn't make them any more secure, at least they felt there was someone to share the burden, and dying together wouldn't be so frustrating...
Shui Shengquan, who was the host of this meeting, felt somewhat troubled.
In reality, only the Prince could suppress this group of outlaws from the Old World, because she was more ruthless and had the confidence to keep everyone in check, since the future Full Bloom Plan would almost entirely rely on the technology of the Land of Mirrors.
However, the Prince somehow entered a deep sleep, Mirror Kingdom System forbids them from disturbing Prince. Now, only she, this Remnants magical girl from the Old World, can act as his substitute.
His gaze fell on Si Motu, who arrived last, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In this chaotic meeting, the only person Shui Shengquan could rely on was the Prince's fiancé; seeing him brought her some peace of mind.
"So, who told them to take the initiative?"
The first to speak was the leader of the Great Forest Realm, covered in leaves and vines, looking like a savage dug out of nowhere. "His Highness the Prince said many times before that the Full Bloom Plan was about to begin, and we shouldn't cause any trouble! But are these damn people from the Withered Wind Realm unable to understand human language? Now look what's happened, who knows where Shion is watching us!"
After the leader of the Great Forest Realm spoke, it was met with a chorus of sighs.
Only Si Motu slightly adjusted his mask.
" The Withered Wind Realm also did this to help everyone better implement the plan, and we must respect the dead..." Shui Shengquan originally wanted to say a few good words on behalf of the fallen allies.
The leader of the Great Forest Realm became even more enraged, "They've only caused trouble, and you call that helping? They shouldn't have been allowed in in the first place! I said from the beginning that they should have been expelled from the alliance, just like the Witch Association! Shui Shengquan, how dare you speak up for them!"
Shui Shengquan was momentarily speechless after being confronted, and could only look to Si Motu for help.
After all, they are allies of the prince of the Mirror Kingdom.
Si Motu nodded. " Shion's intervention was, after all, unexpected..."
"Unexpected?" The leader of the Great Forest Realm laughed loudly. "Do they really think Shion is a fool? Do they think Shion would help us fight magical girls? What is her purpose in using the Heavenly Thunder? Isn't it obvious at a glance? It's just to fish for fish! Those people from the Withered Wind Realm are like idiots, jumping into a pit someone digs. With the strength and cunning of the Azure Cloud Sect, it's not that simple!"
These words Si Motu speechless for a moment.
Although he hadn't thought about it at the time, he just wanted to upgrade everyone and incidentally test Kongzheng's Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit...
But looking back, I realize that this was definitely a consideration in my subconscious at the time.
In Shui Shengquan's eyes, Si Motu was naturally rendered speechless by the people of the Great Forest Realm. He sighed for a moment, thinking that the Prince's fiancé didn't seem to be very good at verbal debate.
"There's no point in arguing about this now. We need to figure out if Shion is targeting us..."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
No one wants to face the consequences of being targeted by Shion.
"What do you think, Si Motu? You've had the most contact with Shion," Shui Shengquan couldn't help but ask. "Won't she discover us?"
All eyes turned to Si Motu.
Si Motu simply nodded. "Don't worry, Shion won't find this place anytime soon."
You are safe for now.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
On the one hand, as the Prince's fiancé, Si Motu was not someone anyone dared to underestimate. On the other hand, the fact that Si Motu had fought Shion head-on in the Beihai and escaped unscathed had long been a legendary feat in the Old World.
This is also why Si Motu became a legend of the Witch Association.
As Shion's strength grows, Si Motu's status also rises accordingly...
The Great Forest Realm official said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we must find someone who can rival Shion. Even if Shion finds us, she can buy us time to escape... At the very least, we cannot be captured by Shion before the Full Bloom Plan is completed!"
One of the Old World personnel raised his hand, "How's the Holy Church, which's been quite famous in the Old World lately?"
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
The Holy Church's actions in the Old World during this period have been evident to all.
"While the Holy Church is reliable, the Demon Squad's strength isn't quite enough," Shui Shengquan sighed. "We'd probably need to ask their Holy Church Walker Master, but Holy Church Walker fees are very high, which is probably beyond our means."
"And I already asked last time," the leader of the Great Forest Realm added, " The Holy Church Walker are elusive; even they themselves have difficulty contacting them. I heard they're wandering around other Great Worlds selecting Holy Church Member, and who knows how many years it will be before they return... I'm afraid we can't count on them."
Si Motu was about to drink water, coughed.
"What about that Remnants of the Old World? She should be able to do it, right?"
"It's a pity Witch Association, otherwise the Witch Association's president might have been able to stop her. She's done the same thing as Shion before..."
"The new Alice developed by the Land of Mirrors should not be underestimated."
Everyone was talking at once, enthusiastically discussing what could counteract Shion's power.
It's as if this will give them more courage and a sense of security.
Finally, when the discussion subsided, the leader of the Great Forest Realm said, "Only Si Motu has actually fought Shion here. Whether it's effective or not, it's up to Si Motu to decide."
Everyone fell silent.
The leader of the Great Forest Realm tugged at a young girl beside him.
"Please, Si Motu, take a look. Is our Great Forest Realm's strongest force truly capable of stopping Shion?"
