Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 726 The Witch's Request

After Yan Yu personally overcame the tribulation, no one would think that overcoming the tribulation was a simple matter. Even if some people originally thought so, now all their hope was gone.

After all, not everyone can be so patient as to fly the sword in circles to adjust the position and create a "two hundred stars in a row" situation when their true essence is exhausted and their resources are depleted. For most cultivators, they can't even hold on until that time. If they make a slight mistake in flying the sword, they will be killed by the thunder.

Jing Ye was the second one to go into battle to overcome the tribulation. Although he seemed to be at ease, he was actually under a lot of psychological pressure. He even left his last words to Yan Yu.

The next morning, Yan Yu received a notice hoping that he could go to help Jing Ye overcome his tribulation and serve as his guardian.

When Yan Yu himself was undergoing the tribulation, hostile forces abroad bribed a group of civilian cultivators and lied to them that "a rare treasure is about to be born near Wudang Mountain", tricking them into attacking the military front and creating an opportunity for the Yin-Yang Master's infiltration troops.

If they had not been discovered by Chen Lingyun, and if they had really sneaked into the tribulation scene and rushed under the tribulation cloud in a suicidal manner, Yan Yu would most likely have been finished.

This shows that security work at the tribulation site is equally important, especially in the later stages of the tribulation, when the whole world already knows that someone is undergoing a tribulation in this place - if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Jindan Zhenren's security forces are dispatched!
When Yan Yu arrived at the scene of the tribulation, he was delighted to see that it was also Tianzhu Peak. He chose the place where his brother successfully passed the tribulation to pass his own tribulation. He wanted to borrow his brother's powerful aura to change his luck!

Looking at the scene again, Liu Longtao stood silently in the center, his hands clasped behind his back, acting like a master. With him at the center, the formation had already been set up, and various magical weapons and flying swords were piled up nearby, more than double the total number Yan Yu had originally laid out. No matter how you looked at it, the outcome was foolproof.

"What kind of formation are you arranging for Mr. Jing this time?" He saw Ye Jun standing nearby, directing the technical staff on site to make the final arrangements, so he went over to talk to him and asked.

"A spirit gathering array that increases the speed of true energy recovery." Ye Jun replied.

"Why didn't you let me use this formation?" Yan Yu complained with dissatisfaction on his face. "When I was at the very end of my tribulation, I was forced to circle the tribulation lightning for over two hundred times because I had very little true essence left!"

"The speed at which the Spirit Gathering Array regenerates true essence is related to the cultivator's own cultivation aptitude," Ye Jun patiently explained. "The more true essence you have, the more you can regenerate per unit time. The current computational model in the laboratory suggests that only those with at least Zhou Hongyu's aptitude can use this formation to enhance the recovery effect significantly."

"Alas." Yan Yu sighed heavily. "Master Jing has an abundance of true essence, but he wastes it wastefully. He even takes elixirs that still don't fully replenish it, so he has to use up a formation quota to solve this problem. The ancient saying that those who are good swimmers often drown is exactly the same."

Liu Longtao, with his back to the crowd, listened to Yan Yu's comments and for a moment his expression became awkward.

"That's right." Ye Jun said with a smile, "You use one point of your true energy to accomplish ten things, while Master Jing can only accomplish one point of his true energy with ten points of his true energy. It's like that rich man who doesn't care about spending money, but can't accomplish anything even if he throws money around."

"Stop insulting me!" Liu Longtao couldn't stand it any longer and sent a voice message to the two of them. "Instead of wasting time on me, why don't you help me find the gaps and figure out what else I can do to help me overcome the tribulation!"

"Hey, Old Liu, is it you who's going to go through the tribulation, or us?" Yan Yu asked jokingly, imitating his usual teasing tone. "We haven't even started going through the tribulation yet, and you've lost all your confidence. I think you're doomed!"

"Bullshit!" Liu Longtao spat immediately. "I'm not counting on you to say something auspicious, but can't you just shut up? No matter how confident I am, I can't stand you two slandering me behind my back! You're ruining my Daoist faith, and you won't let me point it out?"

"We were testing you on purpose," Yan Yu said sternly. "Just a few words were enough to break your defense. That shows your Dao heart isn't that pure either!"

"That's right." Ye Jun laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. "Old Liu, if you really can't stand hearing bad words and it will make your heart unstable, then just say it directly, let's go quickly."

"Hey, don't go. I'm telling you two, don't leave either of you." Liu Longtao was extremely unhappy and sneered, "Today I'll show you how I, Liu Longtao, can easily overcome this disaster!"

"Looks like he's really angry." Yan Yu whispered to Ye Jun, "He didn't even address you in the second half of the sentence."

"He doesn't always address her as "you" or "you." Ye Jun said, "He has always addressed his parents and He Ye in a normal way."

"So he just acts arrogantly and tries to disgust us on purpose," Yan Yu concluded.

"Otherwise, why is he Master Pingjing?" Ye Jun said with a smile, "He says 'good luck to you' in public, but calls you 'stinking outsider' behind your back."

"Don't whisper anything to each other!" Seeing that neither of them responded, Liu Longtao thought they really thought he was too sensitive, so he quickly said, "If you want to say something bad about me, just say it louder! If my faith in Taoism is shaken in the slightest, I'm not the Liu anymore!"

"He Ye just asked me if you have finished your tribulation. How should I answer her?" Ye Jun asked.

Liu Longtao was silent for a while and said:

"Don't reply. I'll reply to her personally when I form the Golden Core."

"Why did you add He Ye as your friend?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"I added it when we went out together last time." Ye Jun replied.

Although her relationship with Liu Longtao is not very good, she and He Ye have become good sisters who can talk about anything.

The reason is simple. Although He Ye is a mortal, she was able to successfully defeat a male cultivator like Liu Longtao. Ye Jun always felt that there must be something powerful about her that is worth learning from and emulating.

"What do you think of Mr. Jing's success rate in overcoming the tribulation this time?" Ye Jun continued to ask in voice transmission.

"There shouldn't be any problems." Yan Yu made a direct judgment. "The number of flying swords and magic weapons that Lu Guo prepared for him this time is twice as many as mine. The difficulty of the heavenly tribulation won't be multiplied by two because of this. If he can't pass it, I suggest suicide."

The two chatted for about ten minutes and were finally asked to leave by the on-site staff: Liu Longtao was about to begin his formal tribulation.

--------

When Yan Yu was surviving the tribulation, his primary means of breaking it was the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Qi, each flash of which could pierce a vast area of tribulation lightning. Liu Longtao, however, lacked such quick reflexes and swordsmanship. His advantage lay in his abundant and powerful True Essence. Therefore, he employed the Five Directions Divine Dragon Dao as a means of combating the tribulation, first destroying the main force of the tribulation lightning, then targeting any that slipped through with the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Qi.

If too much true energy is consumed, take a pill first, and then send the prepared flying sword magic weapon upwards to buy time to refine the medicinal power and restore true energy.

Just as Yan Yu said, with so many flying swords and magic weapons, if Jing Ye still can't get through with his strength, he can really just crash into his head and die on Wudang Mountain.

Although this is true in theory, unexpected things still happen in reality.

One time, it was Jing Ye's own fault. In order to buy more time to recover his true energy, he accidentally let the thunders drop to a height of less than 1000 meters, and almost got into a panic; another time, there were too many thunders, which almost broke through Jing Ye's remaining true energy. Fortunately, he was finally rescued with the help of resources.

"It's almost done." Yan Yu suddenly said, "We have reached the last wave of tribulation, and there is no news of enemies coming from outside. I guess they won't come this time."

"With a Jindan Zhenren like you here, no matter how many more come, it would just be a waste of time." Ye Jun said thoughtfully, "It's normal for them not to come."

"If that's the case, then I'm not needed here anymore." Yan Yu turned around and waved his hand, "When he forms his elixir, have him return the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword to me."

He flew his sword out of the range of Tianzhu Peak, but saw Zhao Yuanzhen standing in the belly of the mountain below, silently watching Jing Ye on the top of the mountain struggling to survive under the calamity cloud, his brows were already twisted together.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu urged the sword light over, "Next time it's your turn to survive the tribulation, come over and learn from the experience up close?"

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanzhen said in a low voice with a serious expression, "I watched you go through the tribulation on TV before. Now that I see it up close, I feel that the power of the tribulation is even greater. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"Of course." Seeing that she was rarely thinking seriously, Yan Yu reminded her, "The lightning itself is extremely powerful. Even if it touches you, you will die on the spot. Plus, it locks on you with your energy and tracks you infinitely, so you must have a corresponding means to break it."

"My White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer isn't very suitable for dealing with the Tribulation Thunder," Zhao Yuanzhen pondered. "The Red Lotus Bowl is quite good, though. As long as I have enough True Essence to support it, I can summon enough Karma Fire Red Lotuses to destroy them along with the Tribulation Thunder."

"But there's a problem with this: the Karma Fire Red Lotus can only be summoned within the Red Lotus Dharma Realm. In other words, I have to first raise the Red Lotus Alms Bowl, enlarge it, and then turn it upside down, trapping myself and the Tribulation Thunder within the magical weapon. Only then can I summon the Karma Fire Red Lotus."

"In other words," Yan Yu quickly concluded, "the timing of when you throw out the magic weapon is crucial. If you throw it out too early, you won't be able to contain all the thunderbolts. If you throw it out too late, the next wave of thunderbolts will come before the previous one is completely cleared. If you don't put your bowl away in time, it will definitely be shattered by the thunderbolts."

"This is what's worrying me," Zhao Yuanzhen said irritably. "The lightning is very fast. It's very dangerous if it falls below a thousand meters. But my Red Lotus Bowl can only expand to a maximum height of three hundred meters."

"At this distance, if I'm even a little slow to react, I'll be caught up by the lightning and blown to death!"

Yan Yu thought to himself that this was indeed a problem. As far as he was concerned, even if the lightning struck him within thirty meters, let alone three hundred meters, he was confident that he could dodge it with his sword first and then quickly increase the distance.

But Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't do it. The Demon Sect's demon girl's advantage lies in her decisiveness and impulsiveness. If we really talk about pure reaction speed, she is actually not as good as Ningning.

Yan Yu didn't have any good ideas for this matter. Zhao Yuanzhen, on the other hand, brightened up after raising the issue. The worry and annoyance on his face vanished. He looked at Yan Yu innocently, blinking his eyes as if to say, "Honey, help me think of a solution."

"I feel that your style is more restrained by the heavenly tribulation." Yan Yu finally spoke slowly and stated his conclusion.

Zhao Yuanzhen was so angry that he almost died. He rushed over and hugged Yan Yu, biting his ear and threateningly said:

"If you don't think of a solution for me, I'm going to stay in your room tonight! Ten times!"

"Why are you rewarding me?" Yan Yu was suddenly shocked.

"Me!" Zhao Yuanzhen was speechless for a moment, but quickly reacted and sneered, "So it's still a reward, right? Then I'll call Ruoxi, Yunjin, and Ningning, and the four of them will surround you."

"That's even better." Yan Yu sneered, "There's no sense of accomplishment in a one-on-one fight. Once I defeat all four of you, you'll know how powerful I am."

Zhao Yuanzhen was speechless again, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he said:

"I'll first let Lingyun practice dual cultivation with you, draining all your true yang energy. Then I'll call my other three sisters and force myself on you through the wall while you're still recovering. What will you do?"

This time, it was Yan Yu's turn to remain silent. If it were a simple competition, at his age, he wouldn't be afraid at all. But dual cultivation was different. Using secret techniques to help others reach the Golden Core stage, insufficient Yang Qi would deplete the essence, which would not be replenished for ten days or half a month.

By then, I would be dragging my weak body around them to dance the devil dance. If I couldn't control myself, I would be doomed. If I could control myself... it would be extremely pathetic, and I would be laughed at by these witches for years to come!
"Don't think about how to deal with me yet." Yan Yu decided to calm her down first. "After Master Jing passes the tribulation, you will be next. Your first priority now is to pass the tribulation. If you can't pass this tribulation, you will be wiped out on the spot. How can you have the chance to retaliate against me?"

Zhao Yuanzhen was horrified and cried out in disbelief:
"So you're just going to leave me alone? Just watch me get killed by the heavenly tribulation?"

"That's not the case." Yan Yu said calmly, "I'm just reminding you that defeating me in other aspects will not help you overcome the tribulation. Don't lose sight of the main goal and use your mind on improper things."

"How about this," Zhao Yuanzhen said, changing his words immediately. "If you help me overcome the tribulation, I'll convince the other girls on the team, and then everyone can grant you one wish. How about that?"

This is quite interesting. Yan Yu carefully weighed the pros and cons for a moment and asked tentatively:

"Any wish is acceptable?"

"Nonsense, that's definitely not the case!" Zhao Yuanzhen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "It has to be something with a color. Otherwise, if you ask us to lie on the ground and bark like dogs, do we have to agree? What do you think of us girls?"

"How do you manage to talk about colors in such a serious tone?" Yan Yu was a little embarrassed. "Okay, I'll try my best to help you come up with a design."
