It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Hearing the rejection in her words, the fire dragon lowered its head, which had been held high, and its eyes drooped, as if it was extremely sad.

The man patted its head gently, as if to comfort it.

Then he chuckled and explained to Cheng Shuyan, "This is its own choice. You have the scent of an old friend, and it wants to follow you."

old friends.

She had heard this word many times from the man.

The old friend he was talking about must be the former master of Qitian Realm, the goddess she had seen in her dreams?

That goddess must be extremely important to him, right? Otherwise, ten thousand years later, not a single bone in his body would still choose to follow her, simply because of a hint of her presence.

"Senior, may I know the name of the old friend you are talking about?"

She was really curious about the goddess' deeds, so she thought she would at least ask for her name so that she could find out more after she got out.

But I didn't expect that the name I heard was an extremely familiar one.

"Xi Yun...her name is Xi Yun."

What is it?

Xi Yun!

Master Wuwei Zhenren once said that the founder of the Hidden World Sect, the first generation ancestor - Goddess Xiyun!

Everything became weird. Was it really a coincidence that she was accepted as a disciple by Wuwei Zhenren and entered the Yinshi Sect?

Cheng Shuyan rubbed her swollen head, feeling that some things seemed to be increasingly out of her control.

It seemed that wherever she went, the shadow of the goddess was behind her, and many of the things she encountered were related to the goddess.

Cheng Shuyan always felt that there might be a truth hidden behind this that she could not bear, but she could not avoid it. Every step she took was getting closer to this truth.

The fire dragon felt the fluctuation of her emotions and gently raised its head to rub her arm.

Only then did she collect her thoughts, reach out and touch its dragon horn, responding to the fire dragon's closeness.

"Since this is its choice, I feel guilty about it. I will take good care of it in the future, so please rest assured."

……

As time passed, Chu Yi's aura became stronger and stronger, but there was no sign of him waking up.

Cheng Shuyan stayed beside him and meditated and practiced. Thanks to the pure spiritual energy gathered around him, many of the hidden injuries on her body had recovered a lot.

After she had reached the great perfection of Qi training, she had never found the opportunity to build her foundation, and her cultivation had not improved any further.

However, after going through these days, she seemed to have found that opportunity unknowingly, and her stagnant cultivation began to slowly grow.

As Chu Yi's aura became stronger and stronger, he finally broke through the foundation-building stage and successfully formed a pill. At that time, Cheng Shuyan also finally began to build his foundation.

She sat cross-legged beside Chu Yi, immersed in cultivation, feeling the free spiritual power in her body gathering in her dantian little by little as the exercises were practiced.

The spiritual energy in the Dantian is repeatedly compressed and liquefied, changing from the form of "gas" to "liquid" bit by bit, forming a spiritual platform in the Dantian.

The spiritual platform was built, and five thin threads emitting spiritual power of different attributes gathered on her spiritual platform and finally floated above the spiritual platform.

This is her spiritual root.

She had heard from her master that after a cultivator has established his foundation, his spiritual roots will materialize on the spiritual platform.

As the cultivator's cultivation level improves, his spiritual roots will gradually grow until they reach their limit and then form a golden elixir.

As her spiritual roots stabilized, it also meant that she officially became a foundation-building cultivator.

She stopped practicing, opened her eyes and felt the condition of Chu Yi beside her, and found that his aura had stabilized.

Chu Yi hadn't woken up yet, but Cheng Shuyan felt a dangerous aura suddenly approaching, locking onto Chu Yi, and also onto her who was standing beside him.

At this moment, the man's illusory figure suddenly appeared, grabbed Cheng Shuyan who was locked in the thunder, and forcibly took her out of the range of the thunder.

She was taken out of the stone mountain by the man and watched the thunder tribulation take shape little by little from afar.

A huge calamity cloud slowly condensed above the stone mountain, and thunders were brewing in the clouds. The breath that escaped from it alone made Cheng Shuyan feel an irresistible fear in his heart.

"Is this the demon race's transformation thunder tribulation?" she couldn't help but murmur.

This is too powerful. No wonder it is so difficult for the demon race to practice. The light thunder tribulation is enough to stop too many demons.

"Not really." The man seemed to see through her thoughts and explained to her:

"This is the transformation thunder tribulation that belongs only to that kid. The thunder tribulations of other demon races are not this strong.

That kid inherited the dragon clan's heritage, which is the most powerful heritage of the entire demon clan. Now that he has transformed from a Jiao into a dragon, the thunder tribulation is naturally powerful.

If he can successfully pass through this, this kid's strength will increase significantly, and he will have no problem defeating ordinary Yuanying early stage cultivators."

"I see!"

With such terrifying strength, Chu Yi deserves to be struck by lightning!

Cheng Shuyan added in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Senior, isn't Senior Chu Yi still awake? Are we just going to watch him get struck?"

"Yes, let's just wait and see. He has to rely on himself to carry on with this thunder tribulation. If he can handle it, there will be no more bottlenecks in his cultivation. If he can't, I'll have to trouble you to help me find the next successor."

He spoke seriously, but Cheng Shuyan couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Okay, senior, I will do my best."

……

The thunder tribulation was finally brewing, and thick lightning bolts with unparalleled power struck towards the location where Chu Yi was in the stone mountain.

"Purple Sky Thunder Tribulation, this kid is going to have a hard time. We have to stay away and not get dragged down by him."

The man's words sounded like he was gloating, but Cheng Shuyan saw the relief on his face.

He pulled Cheng Shuyan back again, and the two watched from afar as the thunderbolts struck Chu Yi again and again.

This thunder seemed real and illusory, and it actually passed through the stone mountain without causing any damage to it.

It can be imagined that these thunders really struck Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was struck by lightning and finally woke up.

Perhaps because of the severe pain, his loud roar penetrated the stone mountain and reached the ears of the two men.

……

Chu Yi was originally concentrating on absorbing the power of inheritance and did not pay attention to his own cultivation level. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his body.

He was forced to wake up, and then he found that he was the only one left in the entire cave hall, and the thunder in the sky seemed to have eyes staring at him. Only then did he realize that he was undergoing the thunder tribulation of transformation.

The transformation tribulation of the demon race usually comes during the Nascent Soul stage, and there are only nine of them.

Because of his bloodline and the fact that he has transformed into a dragon, the thunder tribulation he faces far exceeds the transformation tribulation faced by ordinary demons.

After enduring dozens of thunder strikes, his entire body was torn to pieces, and his cyan body had already been dyed red by his own blood.

But he can only rely on his own body to withstand the transformation calamity, without the help of external objects, so he can only grit his teeth and bear it.

By the time the ninety-nine thunderbolts had struck him, Chu Yi was already exhausted, relying solely on his strong physique to hold on.
