The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The relentless downpour washed over Yun Yici's wounds, and the scent of blood carried far and wide with the rain.

Yun Yici immediately replenished her protective qi. Although it seemed to be of little use against heavenly lightning, having an eggshell was better than nothing.

Perhaps due to the effects of the Netherworld Fruit she had consumed, Yun Yici felt her wounds healing rapidly.

However, she quickly recovered to her peak condition.

Relying on her mutated nascent soul, Yun Yici withstood two more lightning tribulations, and then quickly used the power of her nascent soul to repair her body.

She also discovered that the nascent soul within her body was full of vitality, and the speed at which it repaired her body was much faster than the first time.

Despite the misty rain, the white figure remained steadfast.

The cultivators were astonished: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the twelfth tribulation of lightning, isn't it?"

To withstand twelve lightning strikes with one's own body—what a brave warrior!

The clouds, now covered in lightning, were as bright as day. The thunder seemed to have come to its own, giving Yun Yici no chance to pause or repair himself.

Four, five, and six bolts of heavenly lightning converged into one and struck down simultaneously!

This bolt of lightning gave Yun Yici no chance to receive it. The lightning, carrying the person undergoing tribulation in the center, cleaved a huge, charred crater in the center of the lightning field!

The lightning ignited the unknown magical grass by the pit, and the burning flames stretched everyone's field of vision.

Yun Yici, who was in the pit, did not expect the attack to be so fierce, and was immediately knocked to the ground.

"Cough...cough..."

If the previous heavenly lightning only tore her skin and flesh, this time it cooked her and charred her.

The mutated nascent soul within Yun Yici's body was working hard to repair her body.

However, in this situation, the little nascent soul's efforts seem like a drop in the ocean.

Yun Yici struggled to prop herself up with her hands and, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, sat cross-legged.

Since it will take some time for the nascent soul to repair her body, then let's use her ghost body to block it!

If there were any ghost cultivators here, they would definitely think she was crazy.

The Nine Netherworlds belong to Yin, and ghost cultivators do not undergo lightning tribulations but must overcome mental tribulations.

This is because heavenly thunder is the most yang and strongest substance in the world.

For a ghost cultivator to be struck by lightning is roughly equivalent to an old house catching fire—it burns down instantly, leaving not even ashes behind.

Yun Yici only dared to take the risk because she was not a pure ghost cultivator.

Under the worried gazes of Wen Fuyue and the others, Yun Yici activated the cultivation technique she had learned in the Ghost Realm.

A faint blue light burst forth from where her nascent soul was located.

The light covered her meridians and subtly peeked through her skin, as if covering her entire body with a layer of dark blue armor.

Just as Yun Yici finished setting up this defensive line, the terrifying lightning tribulation arrived as expected.

The moment the heavenly lightning struck, the blue light covering Yun Yici surged forth.

The excruciating pain emanating from the depths of her soul caused Yun Yici to scream in agony.

Now, his soul has taken the brunt of the heavenly lightning strike head-on; before, he only suffered physical pain.

However, Yun Yici believed that her line of thinking was correct.

The so-called "transformation into a spirit" refers to the transformation of the nascent soul into a primordial spirit, progressing from the lower four realms to the upper five realms.

Her primordial power was originally in harmony with the Yin and Yang principles, and her nascent soul underwent a transformation, allowing her to directly refine her nascent soul.

It hurts so much!!!

The pain came from beneath the skin, beneath the veins, and even deeper.

A strange fire that melts upon contact is burning her soul.

Before Yun Yici could react, the tribulation clouds seemed to want to give her a quick death, and two more lightning tribulations came down in succession.

She tried to bend over but was struck squarely.

She lay flat on the ground like a charcoal doll, her eyes closed, completely unconscious.

However, the changes inside her body were extremely clear. Her nascent soul was completely shattered and turned into a warm, blue-gold little sun.

Her primordial spirit, after countless setbacks, finally came to fruition!

Yun Yici felt as if countless tentacles were extending from inside her body.

She is looking at and observing the new world from a completely new perspective.

Unlike what she saw with her naked eye, she could clearly see the subtle micro-expressions on Wen Fuyue and the others' faces, and she could even hear their frantically beating hearts.

The rain gradually subsided, leaving small puddles on the soft black soil, and dewdrops clung precariously to the grass and trees.

A magical bird soars freely in the distance, with its sharp claws and blade-like beak.

She could see all things in the world.

Yun Yici closed her eyes and circulated her internal energy, and her body began a new round of self-repair.

The emperor and Wen Fuyue, along with their two disciples, accurately calculated the number of heavenly lightning bolts.

Seeing that Yun Yici had successfully entered the Nascent Soul Realm, the torrential rain began to slowly turn into a gentle, nourishing drizzle, and everyone was relieved.

The clouds, washed by the rain, also noticed the change in the rain.

She tilted her head back, letting the rare rain nourish her body.

Having crossed two major realms, she has been completely transformed.

But this is not enough!

The emperor, Wen Fuyue, and the other two soon realized that they had put their minds at ease too soon.

After the rain, the expected clear skies did not materialize; instead, the thunderclouds became even more violent!

The admiration in the eyes of the onlookers gradually turned into fear.

"There's also a tribulation lightning?"

"No, even ordinary cultivators need to consolidate their cultivation after completing a major realm breakthrough. How can they undergo tribulation like this?"

"Even those at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation stages would face a near-certain death if they were to undergo tribulation simultaneously. Her attempt is far too risky!"

"That's right, and she didn't use any external objects to block the lightning at all. How can you not use magical artifacts to block high-level heavenly lightning?"

The cultivators discussed amongst themselves, their eyes blazing with fury upon hearing the imperial edict.

Seeing that the lightning tribulation was about to strike again, Wen Fuyue and her two disciples became anxious.

Ning Tinglan said, "Master, let's save them."

The moment the first lightning tribulation struck as one entered the Void Refinement stage.

Just then, a blooming golden lotus flower appeared out of thin air in the minefield, protecting Yun Yici beneath it.

The moment the golden lotus appeared, the three thousand spirit swords that had been quietly waiting seemed to sense it and rushed towards the golden lotus in an almost tragic manner.

However, the golden light emanating from the lotus firmly repelled the spirit swords.

Even more strangely, the golden lotus, which was only a phantom, actually swallowed the first bolt of heavenly lightning!

"what is that?!"

Whether they were human cultivators or demonic cultivators secretly spying from the shadows, they were all shocked.

They did not know where this lotus flower came from; its seemingly delicate petals contained a powerful and unwavering strength.

Wen Fuyue pondered, "Could it be the Merit Lotus? I once heard Abbot Shanfa say that those destined for heaven who have accumulated good deeds for a hundred lifetimes will have a lotus mark on their forehead."

However, the previous Yunyi Ci did not have a lotus seal.

Yun Yici heard Wen Fuyue's words and looked at the golden lotus covering her.

Unlike what others saw, Yun Yici saw the landscape of the Lotus Spiritual Sect and the anxious expressions of Shen Fengzhi and the others.

She got up again.

Only Yun Yici knew that this was not a merit lotus at all, but that Shen Fengzhi and the others were using themselves to shield her from harm!
