Xiaobai and Xiaoqing’s Apotheosis
Yang Tian’s disciples easily figured out who harmed Yun’er; they all thirsted for the devil girl’s blood. They offered to kill the girl, but he waved a hand and smiled. “You extracted Yun’er’s Source back then. My disciple is also a Nine Yin Divine Body owner. Let’s see if you can extract another Yin Source.”
Xiaoyu immediately fired nine streams of Qi from her body, bringing the devil girl to her knees. Xiaoyu tied up the girl with a golden ribbon and coldly said, “I won’t kill you. I’ll wait for Shimu to wake up and personally finish you.”
Xiaobai realised Yang Tian’s disciples had surpassed him. “Where did those freaks of nature come from?”
Qing Xiaoyue pinched Xiaobai’s ear. “You talking about me?”
Xiaobai: “No, no, I dare not.”
Yang Tian looked at Xiaoqing and Xiaobai. Smiling, he remarked, “Not bad. You’re both just one step away from apotheosis.”
Xiaobai: “Haha, where did you go, Yang Tian? I missed you.”
Yang Tian transferred Fortune Qi into Xiaobai and Xiaoqing’s bodies. He then crushed two herb kings and transferred them in through their skulls. “Ascend first.”
Yang Tian summoned a grasping dao divine flower where they sat.
Yuan Clan: “Does he think he can just will an ascension?”
Two streams of energy whisked into the sky, shaking the stars and pulling lightning and clouds over.
Shi Ziqing: “Shizun, why is this lightning tribulation so powerful?”
Yang Tian answered, “It’s only just starting. Watch on and you’ll find out. Don’t get ahead of yourself.”
Yang Tian recalled Yuan Xia helping him get through his earlier lightning tribulations.
A middle-aged man wearing a satisfied smile approached Yang Tian. “You must be Yang Tian, correct?”
Yang Tian turned to face the man. After a quick divination, he was rendered awkward because he discovered he was talking to Yuan Xia’s father. He offered a propitious salute. “Greetings, Patriarch Yuan.”
“Haha, don’t worry about the formalities.”
“Umm, where might Yuan Xia be?”
A true dragon emerged from Yang Tian’s head. In a child’s voice, Xiaojiao asked, “Shizun, Shizun, how come you are stuttering?”
Surprised Patriarch Yuan wondered if he was looking at Yang Tian’s disciple – unbelievable.
Awkward, Yang Tian shot Xiaojiao a glare. Puzzled, she asked, “Shizun, Shizun, what are you staring at me for?”
“Cough, well, umm, Yuan Xia isn’t here. She went to locate the devils’ base,” stated Patriarch Yuan.
Yang Tian gazed up to the sky.
Sun Continent was different to the world Shi Ziqing came from; thus, Sun Continent’s lightning tribulations were far more ferocious. The lightning tribulation had all of Central State quaking.
Pill Alliance’s first elder arrived on the scene with a boy and girl accompanying him. “Hahaha, greetings, Senior Yang Tian.”
Yang Tian replied, “Elder, you are embarrassing me.”
“No, formalities must be respected; you ascended before me. May I ask what future plans you have, Senior Yang?” asked First Elder, happy.
First Elder wanted to betroth Tingting to Yang Tian.
“First Elder, you should just call me Yang Tian. As for my plans, I think it is obvious,” replied Yang Tian, with a smile.
Numerous factions emerged, including Yang Tian’s former hunter, Unfettered Valley. Yang Tian smiled and decided to let bygones be bygones.
Shi Ziqing’s eye twitched. “Shizun, shall I help out? Senior Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are being thrashed. Will they be all right?”
Yang Tian shook his head. “No need. Those wounds aren’t serious. You haven’t seen anything.”
The lightning tribulation lasted for half a day. Xiaobai and Xiaoqing rose up to challenge the lightning bravely regardless of how bad or how many times they were knocked on.
Boom! A Sword Aura split stars and charged toward Xiaoqing’s head. Despite his disciples feeling tension seize them, Yang Tian stopped them from interfering. When the Sword Aura cut into Xiaoqing’s head, they realised it was only an illusion.
Xiaoqing stretched his wings out and, in a booming voice, tweeted at his attacker.
Rumble! Black and Yellow Pagoda blasted over to the attacker. The devil race’s Third Palace Master cursed and bolted. Xiaobai thundered, “I don’t think so!”
Xiaobai summoned a massive vortex that covered the entirety of Central State to suck everything in.
Yang Tian: “Ziqing, and the rest of you included, were lucky as can be to have the chance to cultivate for a millennium straight. They have only cultivated for over a decade. You have to work harder.”
Yang Tian’s disciples were amazed when they compared themselves to Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.
“There’s no time. Yuan Xia is in danger.” Yang Tian flicked a finger and gazed in Yuan Xia’s direction. He summoned a long sword and beheaded Third Palace Master with a single swipe.
