Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 67: Xiao Zi's Tribulation

Looking at the dark mass rolling above and the flickering electric flashes, Xiao Yichen put Xiao Zi aside and prepared to fly towards the depths, but suddenly a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Xiao Zi who was still sleeping.

Without time to think, Xiao Yichen pounced on Xiao Zi and pressed him under him. The next moment, he was struck by lightning. Fortunately, his physical fitness had been improved during this period, and it did not cause much damage to him. He recovered in just a short while.

"Could it be that the heavenly tribulation was brought about by this little guy?" Xiao Yichen glanced at Xiao Zi under him, who was still sleeping. He had just pressed down on it, and the lightning must have hurt it, otherwise it would not be scientific.

"Little purple?"

He tapped its head, but Xiao Zi seemed not to feel anything and did not react at all. He raised his head and glanced at the dark clouds above. The next thunder tribulation was already brewing and could break through the sky at any time.

"If this thing hits me, I'm going to burn it to death." He shook the little guy in his hand anxiously. He was already asleep, how could he survive the thunder tribulation? He gritted his teeth and stuffed the little guy into his arms.

“I don’t know if this will work.”

His idea was very simple, which was to take Xiao Zi with him to overcome the tribulation. After all, this was Xiao Zi's thunder tribulation. If it did not participate, it would all depend on Xiao Yichen to resist. It was possible that the thunder tribulation would continue.

"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yichen slowly rose into the air and came to the bottom of the clouds. Looking at the increasingly thick thunder and lightning above, he had a rough idea in his mind.

"It's not as strong as the previous thunder tribulation. It seems that it was sent according to Xiao Zi's cultivation level."

With a loud bang, a hole was instantly opened in the clouds, and a long snake-like lightning bolt struck his chest at such a fast speed that he had no time to turn around and protect Xiao Zi.

The lightning struck Xiao Zi in his arms, causing Xiao Yichen to tremble all over. The lightning continued to flow through his body and was finally transformed into energy.

"Huh...an unexpected gain?" The damage caused by the lightning was not actually too great. After all, this was not a thunder tribulation aimed at him, and he could withstand it completely. However, Xiao Zi in his arms still showed no signs of waking up.

Another bolt of lightning struck, hitting Xiao Zi accurately again. A sharp numbness passed through Xiao Zi and spread to Xiao Yichen's entire body. His muscles were constantly tempered under the stimulation of lightning. His whole body was tense, and he gritted his teeth. His clothes were rustling in the strong wind around him. His skin, which was originally full of pits, was now charred.

"Each one is stronger than the last. I wonder if I can withstand the next thunder tribulation so easily?" Xiao Yichen exhaled heavily and looked into his arms. At this moment, Xiao Zi's whole body was emitting a purple halo, like a piece of precious jade, making people reluctant to look away.

"Doesn't this little guy feel any pain? Those lightning bolts just now hit it pretty hard." He was no longer worried about Xiao Zi's safety. Looking at the situation, Xiao Zi might not even wake up after the thunder tribulation was over.

"I'm so envious. He managed to get through the thunder tribulation by just sleeping." Shaking his head, he looked up at the sky again. The dark clouds were obviously thinner at this time, but the lightning snakes hidden in them were becoming more and more violent, and were constantly gathering towards the center. It seemed that this was the final blow.

When a hole was opened in the central cloud again, a thunder dragon, much bigger than before, slammed down. It no longer hit Xiao Zi accurately, but the diameter of this lightning was too wide, covering both him and Xiao Zi.

An electric current stronger than all the previous lightning combined instantly fixed him in the air. His whole body twitched uncontrollably, and the charcoal on his skin emitted wisps of black smoke and a pungent smell, causing him unbearable pain. This thunder tribulation lasted for too long, as if it was going to pour out all the energy in the dark clouds above in one breath.

Just when Xiao Yichen felt that he could no longer bear it and wanted to mobilize energy to heal his wounds, his body suddenly felt lighter. Although lightning was still running around in his body, it was no longer as unbearable as before. On the contrary, there was a faint warmth in the pain.

"...What happened? Why does it feel like the damage from the thunder tribulation has suddenly decreased?" He was a little confused. Before he could continue thinking, he was shocked to find that the lightning outside his body seemed to be healing his body at a certain moment. It couldn't be an illusion, because he sensed that the scars on his skin under the charcoal were obviously lighter.

"How is this possible? Isn't thunder tribulation synonymous with destruction? Why does it have a healing effect?" He raised his head in disbelief and looked upwards. At this moment, the dark clouds above his head were about to dissipate, leaving only a thin layer, and there was not much thunder and lightning left in it.

Just as he turned his gaze back to his body, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something passing by in the clouds in a trance, but when he looked, the clouds above him had completely dissipated and the thunder tribulation officially ended.

"What was that just now? It looked like a living thing?" Xiao Yichen fell back to the ground, and the scene just now kept replaying in his mind. The thing flashed by, and he couldn't see what it looked like at all. It disappeared in this world with the thunder tribulation.

Just as he was still thinking about what had just happened, Xiao Zi in his arms seemed to wake up, stretched, blinked her big eyes, and slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. Her little head drooped on Xiao Yichen's head, as if she had not woken up yet.

"Is he really asleep?" Xiao Yichen smiled bitterly. This comparison really made him feel unbalanced.

Just then, he sensed someone flying towards him from a distance. He looked closely and saw Xuan Qing rushing towards him with an anxious look on his face. Seeing him and Xiao Zi standing there safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What just happened here? Why do I feel like another thunder tribulation is coming?"

After he sensed the strange phenomenon here, he rushed here without stopping, but the thunder tribulation did not last long in total, so Xuan Qing had no idea what was happening here.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen laughed awkwardly, pointed at the listless Xiao Zi above his head, and replied:

"This little guy just went through a tribulation."

Hearing this, Xuan Qing looked at Xiao Zi in surprise, his eyes filled with shock. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Incredible, truly incredible. He's only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and he's already beginning to transcend tribulation. I'm really getting more and more confused about the origins of this little snake. No, I have to go back and investigate."

After confirming that Xiao Yichen was fine, Xuan Qing flew towards the sect without stopping. It looked like he would not give up until he found out the truth. Xiao Yichen looked at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller, smiled helplessly, and followed him into the sect.

After a while, Xuanqing was found in the Sutra Library. He was sitting among a pile of books, frowning and looking for something, and he didn't notice Xiao Yichen coming to his side at all.

He didn't want to disturb Xuanqing, so he walked around on his own. Except for the top floor, all other floors of the Sutra Library were completely open to disciples. After a while, he found a book similar to "Strange Stories" and started reading it.

Time passed by unknowingly, and just when Xiao Yichen was still immersed in the contents of the book, he heard Xuanqing's exclamation from upstairs.

"found it."

Xiao Yichen put down the book in his hand and immediately rushed to the upper floor. When he walked to Xuan Qing's side, he saw that the other party was flipping through the classics in his hand with a serious face.

Xiao Yichen leaned forward, and Xiao Zi on top of his head also stretched his head forward with curiosity. The two people and the beast started reading the contents of the book at the same time. Finally, their eyes stopped on a snake species called "Purple Gold Red Python".

The Purple-Gold Scarlet Python, ranked 37th on the Ancient Ferocious Beasts List, is relatively small, with a purple aura emanating from its body. It possesses a purple-gold divine fire within its body that can melt everything...

Xiao Yichen pulled the little purple hair off his head and stared at it, comparing it with the contents of the book.

Xuan Qing, standing by, also stared at it intently. After a long pause, he said, somewhat puzzled, "It looks quite similar, but why doesn't it have the purple-gold divine fire described in the book? This is strange, this is strange. Could it be that it hasn't awakened yet?"

Xiao Yichen stared at the picture in the book. It did look very similar to Xiao Zi, but as Xuan Qing had just said, Xiao Zi did not have the talent of that clan.

"Master, is there a possibility that Xiao Zi has mutated?" Xiao Yichen whispered close to Xuan Qing's ear, but Xiao Zi still heard his voice, jumped up and wrapped herself around his neck.

"Stop making trouble, I'm looking for your mother..."
