Everything Settled

However, Yin Yunze doesn't need it.

From the fourth bolt of heavenly lightning onwards, the discomfort that Yin Yunze felt from each bolt of lightning gradually decreased.

After absorbing the power of the seventh bolt of heavenly lightning, the eighth and ninth bolts struck him. While feeling a stinging pain, Yin Yunze also felt a warm sensation, as if he had developed a connection with the Authority over Lightning.

However, Yin Yunze guessed that this feeling was because she was the Goddess of Thunder.

Even a normal cultivator would likely feel uncomfortable after absorbing all nine bolts of heavenly lightning.

As the nine bolts of heavenly lightning finished striking, Yin Yunze's Golden Core Lightning Tribulation began to dissipate.

However, watching the tribulation clouds dissipate, Yin Yunze felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yin Yunze is addicted to being struck by lightning.

It was purely because he lacked the initial three bolts of heavenly lightning that Yin Yunze was just a little short of achieving minor success in the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

Although Yin Yunze wasn't exactly a perfectionist, this slight imperfection still made Yin Yunze feel somewhat uncomfortable.

If it were someone else in this situation, they would just have to accept it and try again on a stormy day.

But Yin Yunze is different. Both the Authority over Lightning and the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag allow Yin Yunze to create thunder on his own.

Therefore, Yin Yunze's choice is to have both.

With a wave of his hand, the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag reappeared in Yin Yunze's hand.

Looking at the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, Yin Yunze suddenly realized that she seemed to have been struck by the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag several times as well.

Ignoring the strange feeling that arose in his heart, Yin Yunze first activated the Evil-Cleansing Blue Lightning.

Although he could still feel a slight tingling sensation, the Evil-Cleansing Blue Lightning was truly no match for Yin Yunze's body, which had been Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

With a thought, the blue arc of electricity instantly transformed into purple, Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning.

However, as the power increased to the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning, Yin Yunze felt a slight stinging sensation.

After carefully sensing it, Yin Yunze discovered that this Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning was just enough to maintain the basic operation of the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze activated the Authority over Lightning again. He added a trace of the Authority over Lightning's heavenly thunder power to the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning.

In an instant, the intensity of the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning increased several times over.

Although the burst of power in that instant was still not as strong as the heavenly lightning of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, it was still about 30% of its intensity.

Cultivating with this level of lightning actually makes the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering process much faster than simply using the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning.

Since it was effective, Yin Yunze decided to multitask.

While wielding the Authority over Lightning to activate the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, he also used the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning to Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

As Yin Yunze continued to cultivate, he discovered that the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning unleashed by this Authority over Lightning was far more obedient than the Heavenly Lightning of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

With just a thought, Yin Yunze could activate the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning, which would automatically merge into Yin Yunze body, helping Yin Yunze advance more efficiently.

The only problem is that its energy density is somewhat inferior to that of the heavenly lightning of a tribulation, so the progress of cultivation is not faster.

However, by the time dawn broke, Yin Yunze had finally completed the minor success of the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

Yin Yunze's already very fair skin now had a porcelain-like sheen.

However, this sheen looks somewhat unnatural.

If Yin Yunze were to stand next to the statue of Qingnü Temple right now, many people would probably think that Yin Yunze is more like the statue now.

The Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering not only changed Yin Yunze's skin texture, but more importantly, it enhanced Yin Yunze physical strength.

It's hard to say about Law Artifact, but Yin Yunze estimated that with his physical body alone, he could probably stop ordinary pistol bullets, if not a rifle.

Thinking about it this way, Yin Yunze suddenly had a somewhat reckless idea.

However, after careful consideration, Yin Yunze decided to give up.

After all, even though I'm confident, actually trying it still feels too strange!

However, although he abandoned the idea of testing with a pistol, Yin Yunze suddenly had a new idea.

With a flick of his wrist, the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag beside him caused the sky to once again become densely covered with dark clouds.

As Yin Yunze bit down and waved his hand, a bolt of black lightning struck Yin Yunze directly.

"Hiss! Meow!"

Even though he had already achieved minor success in body tempering, Yin Yunze was still struck by the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning again, causing him to jump and howl in pain.

As Yin Yunze circulated the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering once more, he grimaced in disbelief.

The body-tempering effect of this Dark Heavenly Lightning is even better than the heavenly lightning power of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

Furthermore, perhaps because it contains water attributes, it can also nourish and soften Yin Yunze's body while tempering it.

However, under the influence of the Authority over Lightning, after the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning's body, aside from the initial activation, most of its power obediently gathered into a ball within Yin Yunze's body, waiting for him to slowly absorb it.

After discovering this situation, Yin Yunze couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes, people have to do something reckless."

In this way, Yin Yunze felt he could accumulate a sufficient amount of the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning within his body beforehand and then slowly absorb it. This would eliminate the need to summon lightning strikes every time he absorbed it.

Although this is a bit fickle, it feels better to get hit a few more times at once.

Furthermore, driven by the Authority over Lightning, Yin Yunze can directly activate this Dark Heavenly Lightning at crucial moments, allowing it to enter and exit his body to attack enemies.

Compared to having to summon the proper method from the air every time, this kind of attack, which is suddenly used from within the body, is much more concealed.

Feeling the Dark Heavenly Lightning lying quietly within his body, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

If the Third Prison Warden who were chasing Yin Yunze at the time were practitioners of the Animal Realm...

Given that Yin Yunze could only passively trigger the Six Paths Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning at that time, he might not have been able to kill his opponent.

It was that Six- Six Ke Mystic Lightning Formation; at the very least, the opponent should still have the strength to escape from it.

Of course, from another perspective...

If he were truly a cultivator of the Animal Realm, Yin Yunze would actually be able to deal with him more easily.

Because the strength of the Animal Realm cultivators lies in body refinement, but their weakness is that they are inferior in other aspects besides body refinement.

For ground-based chickens that only train their speed, the Earth Vein Power can effectively counter them.

After experiencing it firsthand, Yin Yunze discovered that although this Animal Realm Cultivation Method sounded unpleasant, it was actually suitable for several of the Subordinate Deity besides Guo Jing.

After all, with the aid of the Authority over Lightning, Yin Yunze's cultivation of the Animal Realm Cultivation Method from the Subordinate Deity had an initial advantage.

However, seeing that it was already dawn, Yin Yunze knew that was a story for another time.

After gritting her teeth and enduring several more Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning, Yin Yunze discovered that she could now withstand a maximum of five Evil-Breaking Mystic Lightning.

It's not that Yin Yunze couldn't handle any more, but rather that if there were more than five, Yin Yunze might lose control and start to overflow.

He diverted a sliver of his energy to circulate the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering at the lowest possible level. Afterward, wrapped in lightning, Yin Yunze returned to the Qingnü Temple.

After entering the Dao Field, Yin Yunze summoned the four Subordinate Deity back to him.

After that night, Zhang Yufei finally made it back from the other county.

The matter of establishing a new dynasty is clearly more important than looking after those little witches who no longer need care.

However, seeing Zhang Yufei's noticeably darker complexion, Yin Yunze's heart stirred.

Indeed, it's time to let those girls come back and rest.

Working non-stop for so long, even capitalists would be moved to tears.

However, today is a joyous occasion, so Yin Yunze didn't dwell on these other matters.

His gaze swept over the four Subordinate Deity, Yin Yunze asked directly, "Have you decided what titles you want?"

"Hmm!" The little fox girl couldn't hold back any longer and wagged her tail, saying, "Your Majesty, I want to call the Spirit-Attending Immortal Fox!"

"Lord Yi Yun," then Sun Qin said softly, "I'll be fine with the Incense-Sharing Immortal Lady!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yufei raised her hand and said in a strong voice, "I want to call her the Judgment Heroine!"

Hearing this, Yin Yunze understood their thoughts.

Clearly, rather than choosing their own divine names, the little fox spirits preferred to retain the Subordinate Deity titles bestowed upon them by Yin Yunze.

Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a bit emotional about this.

Since that's their intention, Yin Yunze naturally wouldn't be pretentious and force them to come up with something new.

Looking at Zhang Yufei, Yin Yunze laughed and said, "Fei'er, 'Judgment Heroine' doesn't sound like a divine name. Why don't you call yourself 'Judgment Mystic Maiden'?"

"Very well!" Hearing Yin Yunze say this, Zhang Yufei nodded repeatedly. "From now on, I will be under the command of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, Judgment Mystic Maiden!"

"And what about you?" Smiling and shaking his head, Yin Yunze looked at Guo Jing and chuckled softly, "Jing'er, are you going to call her Punishment-Inflicting Fairy?"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, Guo Jing's expression immediately froze.

Then, readily agreeing, Guo Jing nodded and said softly with a hint of helplessness, "Your Majesty is right. Jing'er is indeed planning to call her Punishment-Inflicting Fairy— "

"Now that you have made your choice, I will inform the prefect shortly."

She glanced at the four Subordinate Deity again, noting that apart from Guo Jing Subordinate Deity her true form of Pure Fox Robe, the other four were dressed as red and white priestesses.

Yin Yunze thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "However, you'll need to change your outfits before you go on stage—"

My newly grown tail hair----"

Taking out some materials from his storage ring, Yin Yunze sighed helplessly and then skillfully plucked some more tail hairs from the two bodies' tails.

With the Bright Incense Flame, Yin Yunze began forging these materials.

This time, Yin Yunze didn't plan to add too many functions; he only allocated a sliver of his authority to it. Then, he also extracted a sliver of power from the Demon-Summoning Banner.

Ultimately, Yin Yunze forged four magnificent palace gowns, each with different colors and designs, but all with a similar overall effect.

The main functions of these robes are to protect against heat and cold, automatic cleaning, enhanced power granted by Yin Yunze, and considerable resistance to both physical and magical attacks. In addition, they also carry a Demon-Summoning Banner's ability to command lesser demons.

"These clothes will be your formal attire from now on."

With a wave of his hand, the blue palace dress flew to Sun Qin's front.

Then, the little fox girl's clothes were orange-red, the same color as her body.

Guo Jing's clothes were the same white as Pure Fox Robe's.

Zhang Yufei received the same black bracelet as hers.

"You all find a place to change your clothes first, I'll go and tell the prefect."

After saying this, Yin Yunze got up and left the Dao Field.
