After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

At this moment, a raging fire ignited within Jiang Ming. He knew the path to immortality was a arduous one, and every breakthrough was a thrilling, life-or-death battle with the heavens. Either he would achieve great success and dominate the world, or he would perish and disappear into ashes. Regardless of the outcome, he resolved to devote all his might to the heavens once again.

The final thunderbolt in the sky was like a roaring, angry dragon, crashing down with a terrifying aura that could destroy the heavens and the earth! Countless magical instruments, gleaming with a variety of colors, rushed towards the thunderbolt, but like fragile pieces of paper, they were ruthlessly crushed into fine dust the moment they came into contact with the thunderbolt, scattering in the air.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened - the originally unstoppable thunder tribulation was actually blocked from above.

It turned out that Lin Xian'er had already instructed the system to set up an incredibly strong protective shield here. The transparent shield shimmered with mysterious runes and light, like an impenetrable fortress, firmly blocking out the thunder tribulation.

The reason for doing so is that Lin Xian'er can continuously absorb the powerful force contained in the thunder tribulation through this protective shield, and use it to temper her body and cultivation.

You know, this is the thunder tribulation that Jiang Ming is experiencing. If the system hadn't told Lin Xian'er that there might be huge benefits hidden in it, with Lin Xian'er's timid personality, she would never easily lend a hand.

Time passed minute by minute. At first, Lin Xian'er could still cope with the impact of the thunder tribulation relatively easily, but gradually, she began to clearly feel the pressure doubled.

The thunder tribulation sensed that Lin Xian'er was actually challenging its majesty. Because it could not hit Lin Xian'er directly, it became more and more violent, constantly increasing its force to hit the protective shield, trying to break through this last line of defense.

[Host, remove the protective shield immediately, otherwise your current body will not be able to withstand the impact of this powerful force.]

Hearing the system's anxious notification, Lin Xian'er dared not delay even a moment. She knew that continuing to persist would only lead to her own irretrievable doom. So, without hesitation, she quickly removed the previously impenetrable protective shield. At the same moment, Lin Xian'er left behind several high-level magical instruments as a final line of defense. After all, she didn't want her actions to leave Jiang Ming with any hidden dangers.

With the removal of the protective shield, the previously blocked thunderstorm roared down like a beast freed from its restraints. In an instant, the entire space was filled with the incomparably violent force of the thunderstorm, and the dazzling flashes of lightning intertwined, creating a terrifying scene.

Although Lin Xian'er had removed her protective shield, she still tried her best to dissipate the surging power of the thunder tribulation within her body. Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her delicate body began to tremble slightly.

"Puff~" Suddenly, a large amount of blood spurted out of Lin Xian'er's mouth, staining the front of her clothes red.

Clearly, the forced fusion of the lightning tribulation's power had taken a toll on her body. Even so, she gritted her teeth, struggling to hold herself together. However, her injuries were too severe to withstand the immense pressure, and she collapsed weakly, like a candle in the wind.

Xie Qijun, who had been closely watching Lin Xian'er's every move from a distance, felt a sudden surge of anxiety when he saw this scene. Without giving it any time to think, he was by Lin Xian'er's side in a flash, stretching out his arms and holding her firmly in his arms.

"Master, how are you?" Xie Qijun rushed forward, his face full of concern, and his deep worry seemed to be overflowing.

Lin Xian'er gently shook her head, then slowly closed her eyes. With the help of the system, she concentrated her energy and accelerated the fusion of the surging power of the thunder tribulation within her body. After all, this was the thunder tribulation of the peak of the Fusion Stage, and its power was beyond imagination.

Seeing this, Xie Qijun, knowing full well that he couldn't be disturbed at this moment, said nothing more. Instead, he gave a soft shout and instantly summoned the Dragon Roar Sword. He stood quietly by, sword in hand, concentrating on guarding Lin Xian'er, who was merging with the power of the thunder tribulation.

Not far from here, a small number of people's eyes suddenly flickered, but they quickly regained their composure and turned their attention back to the Jiang family ancestor. After all, at this moment, the Jiang family ancestor was undergoing a thrilling thunder tribulation, which was undoubtedly a major event that the entire cultivation world was paying attention to.

Looking at Jiang Ming, who was at the very center of the thunder tribulation, he gritted his teeth, desperately resisting the force of the thunder tribulation that roared down like a giant dragon. The thunder tribulation struck down, seemingly ripping him apart and shattering him. However, Jiang Ming never gave up. With his tenacious will and profound skills, after a grueling battle, Jiang Ming successfully survived the final thunder tribulation.

At this moment, the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds and thunder, suddenly became bright, and countless dazzling golden rays of light fell from the sky, falling on Jiang Ming like a sweet rain.

Bathed in this dazzling golden light, Jiang Ming's scarred body began to slowly recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, his cultivation level also soared like a rocket, eventually successfully breaking through the bottleneck and entering the ranks of the Mahayana stage!

Seeing their ancestor actually successfully ascend to the Mahayana stage, the Jiang family was stunned for a moment, then erupted in cheers that resounded through the heavens. Everyone's face was filled with irrepressible excitement and joy, some dancing with excitement, others weeping with joy.

For the Jiang family, the ancestor's successful advancement to the Mahayana stage means that the family's strength will be greatly enhanced, and their status in the world of immortal cultivation will inevitably be raised to a higher level. How can this not make them ecstatic?

Jiang Ming, having successfully received his promotion, felt no wave of ecstasy. It was a stark contrast to the euphoria everyone had anticipated. Just after his promotion, a sudden voice rang out in his ears. It was like a thunderclap, causing his expression to darken. However, in a split second, he quickly composed himself, burying all negative emotions deep within him.

He slowly turned, his gaze tenderly gazing at the younger generations who had accompanied and supported him throughout this journey. Seeing their eyes, filled with anticipation and blessings, Jiang Ming felt an indescribable sense of relief. Without these younger generations accompanying him along the way, without their concerted efforts to help him overcome this difficult time, he would have been unable to survive this thunder tribulation.
