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

Chapter 95: Overcoming the tribulation, successful?

Outside Lingyuan Cave, as the fragments of the fairy core crystal were taken away, the cave collapsed. Liu Qingqing kept digging downwards according to the route she remembered. She had been waiting here for three days, but still had not waited for Xiao Yichen.

The area outside the cave had changed from lush greenery to a ruin. The flowers, plants, and trees were no longer full of life, but instead looked lifeless. The surrounding area was filled with large holes dug by Liu Qingqing, but no matter how she dug, she had no specific location and it was all in vain.

Xiao Zi was helping on the side. It was also extremely anxious at the moment. The first person it saw since it was born was Xiao Yichen, whom it regarded as a relative, but now it didn't even know whether the other party was alive or dead.

Just when they were about to collapse, there were some subtle changes in the sky. A small group of dark clouds was moving quickly towards the distance.

"Brother, don't scare me. Where are you?" Liu Qingqing continued to kneel in a deep pit, attacking the ground with her hands. The soil was blown away and fell beside her. She kept repeating this action and did not notice anything unusual in the sky.

It was Xiao Zi who felt it first. Staring at the dark cloud above his head, he sensed a familiar breath in it. He made a hissing sound and nudged Liu Qingqing with his head to signal her to look up.

"Xiao Zi, if you are tired, just rest. I still have to save my brother." Liu Qingqing pulled Xiao Zi's head away with her backhand and continued to punch the ground.

"hiss……"

Seeing that the other party didn't understand what it meant at all, Xiao Zi rushed to Liu Qingqing and used his head to touch her chin, forcing her to look, and finally made Liu Qingqing notice the abnormality in the sky.

"Xiao Zi? What happened?" Feeling the slight pressure emanating from the small dark cloud in the sky, Liu Qingqing shuddered unconsciously.

On the other hand, Xiao Zi was extremely excited at this moment. It finally realized what that familiar feeling was. Wasn't it the power of heavenly tribulation in its body?

It bit Liu Qingqing's sleeve and pulled it, then swam quickly in the direction of the dark clouds without caring whether the other party understood what it meant or not.

"Xiao Zi, wait for me, where are you going?" Liu Qingqing kept chasing after it. Although she really didn't understand, she still followed it.

The man and the snake followed the dark clouds in the sky for more than an hour and finally reached their destination. However, after arriving, they did not dare to take another step forward because the scene in front of them was so terrifying.

The ground had long since changed beyond recognition, and an extremely huge deep pit appeared in front of her, which was much larger than the pit she had dug before.

Above them was a large dark cloud layer, in which flashes of lightning were flashing. Thunders kept appearing from it and smashing towards the deep pit on the ground. The small dark cloud they had been chasing just now also merged into it, adding to its complexity.

"Xiao Zi..." There was a hint of fear in Liu Qingqing's eyes. She unconsciously hugged Xiao Zi in her arms. She felt a little scared of the scene in front of her. Any one of those falling thunders could seriously injure her.

Xiao Zi rubbed her face, and then, in Liu Qingqing's surprised gaze, broke free from her arms and swam towards the deep pit in front.

"Xiao Zi, come back soon..."

Ignoring Liu Qingqing's shouting behind it, Xiao Zi quickly arrived near the deep pit. The clouds above the sky seemed to sense its presence and gave the impolite little guy a small punishment.

With just one hit, Xiao Zi was blown away, with black smoke coming out of his body, and he looked like he was about to be cooked.

"Xiao Zi..." Liu Qingqing didn't care about the danger and rushed to its side. She grabbed Xiao Zi's head and immediately retreated backwards. Fortunately, there was no more thunder disaster from above.

After arriving at a safe area, Liu Qingqing looked at Xiao Zi, whose body was burnt, with worry in her eyes. She used healing magic to heal its wounds. Fortunately, Xiao Zi recovered a little after a short while.

"hiss……"

Xiao Zi made a weak sound, and his tail was like a human finger, constantly pointing towards the location of the deep pit, and his eyes were staring at that direction without blinking.

"Xiao Zi, don't go over there again. If you get struck by lightning again, you will lose your life." Liu Qingqing thought it still wanted to go over there, so she grabbed its little head and refused to let go.

The misunderstood Xiao Zi showed his fangs and struggled constantly, but did not really bite Liu Qingqing. He just drew patterns on the ground with his tail.

Noticing Xiao Zi's actions, Liu Qingqing looked at the painting on the ground. It was a horizontal line with a pig's head underneath.

"Xiao Zi, you've been struck dumb, haven't you?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Zi almost fainted from anger on the spot. He no longer insisted that the other party could understand him, but just kept trying to rush out. However, Liu Qingqing was too strong, and he had just been injured. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free. In the end, he had no choice but to hang his head, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

On the other side, Xiao Yichen was buried deep underground, enduring the thunder that penetrated the ground. His face looked normal, and he didn't look like he was going through a tribulation at all. At this moment, his mind was full of question marks.

"? When did my body become so powerful?"

Feeling the tingling sensation running through his body, he could hardly believe that he was undergoing a tribulation.

After a long while, he thought of a possibility. It must be that the thunder fell from the sky, and with the cushioning of the earth, its power had been mostly lost by the time it reached the body.

"I was saying it. I've just reached the peak of Body Tempering. How could I possibly ignore the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? So that's how it is."

"It's just right. Heavenly tribulations don't come often. I can use this opportunity to further refine my body. Otherwise, I always feel that this peak of physical refinement is not enough."

Suppress the excitement in your heart and prepare to make good use of this thunder tribulation, preferably to maximize its effect.

He dug upwards to get closer to the thunder. After all, the thunder hitting his body now had no effect at all and it even felt a little itchy.

When he reached a point where he felt a definite tearing sensation in his body, he sat down cross-legged again and took this opportunity seriously.

While allowing the thunder to strike his body completely defenselessly, he kept absorbing the power of the fairy core crystal in his hand to repair his injuries. Whenever the thunder above his head could not cause him much damage, he would move his position upwards to ensure that he could continue to improve.

"I'm a professional at bug checking."

If he only considered his physical strength and did not use any magic, he would be able to fight against a mid-stage Jindan realm warrior and even suppress him.

Time passed slowly, day after day, and the dark clouds in the sky showed no sign of dissipating. This was beyond Xiao Yichen's understanding. It seemed that unless he showed up to resist the heavenly tribulation head-on, the heavenly tribulation would never leave. In this way, he stayed underground for another three days.

When he reached a bottleneck, he was less than five meters from the ground. It could be said that at this moment he was completely exposed to the natural tribulation, and the protection provided by the earth was completely negligible.

However, even without the protection of the earth, his body could cope with it at this moment. He simply stopped hiding and struck upwards with one palm. Suddenly, a big hole appeared on his head, and he flew towards the sky facing the thunder above.

Just when he thought the heavenly tribulation would end, a strong wind suddenly blew around him, almost blowing him down. Then he saw dark clouds gathering above him, and before he could react, a bolt of lightning that was dozens of times thicker than the previous one fell towards his head.

"Rely on... fishing enforcement?"

In just a moment, he felt dizzy and the skin on his body immediately turned black. The scars that had been slightly healed became hideous and terrifying again. The clothes that were about to fall apart were turned to ashes in an instant, leaving only a pair of shorts that he had cheated from Lao Shu to survive.

As for the hair, it all turned into powder. The next moment, his consciousness fell into darkness. Strangely, his body did not fall down because of losing consciousness.

At this time, the area was already filled with monks from various sects. After all, the noise here was so loud that it would be strange if no one noticed it.

Everyone present looked at the figure in the sky with only a pair of shorts left. All kinds of speculations were heard, and they were discussing which family this genius was and who was actually undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

Liu Qingqing in the crowd had already seen the man in the sky, but she did not say anything.

"Qingqing..."

A soft female voice reached her ears, startling her.

"Master... Senior Sister, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yun Mei. She had been following the two of them, but she was far away and Xiao Yichen didn't notice her.

"Who is that person?" Yun Mei looked at her with a frown, fearing that her junior sister had been deceived.

"This...that...I..." Liu Qingqing didn't know how to answer for a moment. Xiao Yichen had told her before not to reveal his identity.

Seeing Liu Qingqing hesitant, Yunmei frowned even more tightly and turned to look at the sky. She saw that Xiao Yichen looked even more terrifying than before. His whole body was covered in blood, and his face looked more like a demon crawling out of hell.

If they had met under normal circumstances, Yunmei would definitely have killed the other party as a monster, but for some reason, she felt a hint of familiarity on that person's face, as if she had seen him somewhere.
