Chapter 978: Chapter 29 Let Her Unleash Her Potential

In her previous life, how Empress Yuanzhen managed to surpass the Core Formation heavenly tribulation, Yan Yu was not clear.

But one thing is certain, the current Zhao Yuanzhen, in terms of temperament, definitely doesn’t match up to Empress Yuanzhen from her past life—after all, she was wanted by the Lu Country for several years, constantly fleeing to avoid pursuit, living every day on edge like a stray dog.

To endure until Core Formation in such harsh conditions requires either extraordinarily strong willpower or an extremely abnormal mindset. According to Yan Yu’s recollections, Empress Yuanzhen possessed both, so it’s not surprising that she could withstand the heavenly tribulation.

“The south of the Huai River grows oranges, and the north grows trifoliate,” what a person eventually becomes, is inseparable from their environment of growth. Now that Zhao Yuanzhen has been domesticated by himself, stripping away much of her ferocity, the fact that she may not overcome the tribulation carries a portion of his own culpability.

At this point, half the quantity of Tribulation Thunder remains in the sky, and its altitude has already advanced to 1,200 meters, with the threat to Zhao Yuanzhen rapidly increasing.

Yan Yu gave a calm instruction:

“Hasten the recovery of your True Yuan, and when the Tribulation Thunder reaches an altitude of 1,000 meters, fully unleash the White Bone Demon Fire.”

Since the movement of all Tribulation Thunder continuously locks onto the one crossing the tribulation, the overall arrangement forms an inverted cone. The lower the altitude of the thunder, the closer it converges toward the central axis, and the more efficient it is to clear them using Taoism Method—the cost being, of course, the drastic reduction of safety distance.

Yan Yu observed and estimated that an altitude of 1,000 meters is the most suitable moment to act. Any sooner, and the efficiency isn’t sufficient; any later, and unforeseen events may arise. However, Puppet Azhen’s Spiritual Wisdom is limited, and she couldn’t remember so much detail; after hearing the latter half, she forgot the former, only remembering “at 1,000 meters, go all out with fire.”

Zhao Yuanzhen didn’t ponder deeply, only thinking that since her husband wants her to fully drive the White Bone Demon Fire when Tribulation Thunder drops to 1,000 meters, why not now play around with the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword? Whatever she could clear, counted.

Thus, she continued to dispatch the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword into the sky, while leisurely refining the power of the medicine, recovering her True Yuan.

Yan Yu watched with a darkened expression. After all, the efficiency of recovery with focused seated meditation refining medicine compares profoundly to splitting attention between medicating while controlling the sword.

Not focusing on the full recovery of True Yuan, what will you use to clear the many remaining Tribulation Thunders when the time comes?

It was too late for any intervention now, and Yan Yu could only hastily think of how to adjust the strategy. Before he figured it out, a sudden change occurred on the screen.

That Shadow Wind Deathly Thunder, upon descending to an altitude of 1,100 meters, suddenly split in two, doubling in number!

“Not good!” Zhang Huaide said in a deep voice, “This is bad news!”

“No big problem.” Zhou Hongyu replied coldly, “At this altitude, Tribulation Thunder is inclined to gather together. Even if it splits and increases now, it will just take some extra effort to handle.”

Zhang Huaide did not explain, but instead turned his head towards Li Minghu.

Li Minghu’s expression was also worried, obviously sharing the same thoughts as Zhang Huaide.

If the one crossing the tribulation on site was a cultivator adept in adapting to emergencies, then as Zhou Hongyu said, the difficulty would have increased slightly but would still be within manageable limits.

The problem is, Zhao Yuanzhen is not the type attuned to calculations. So far, all her actions seem more like she’s executing strategies predefined by Yan Yu, choosing appropriate responses based on the actual situation at the scene.

To draw an analogy, it’s like guessing the questions before an examination, preparing for all the potential hot topics. The worst case in such a scenario is if unexpected questions show up in the exam.

Zhao Yuanzhen should have recovered a good amount of True Yuan by now, but she still hasn’t fully triggered the White Bone Demon Fire, indicating she’s definitely waiting for an opportunity. But with the sudden split and increase in Tribulation Thunder, the timing must be moved up. The question is, can she think of that?

Yan Yu left the conference room again and quickly ordered Puppet Azhen:

“Take full action immediately!”

Puppet Azhen was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head:

“I can no longer contact her.”

Yan Yu hurriedly turned to look at the screen in the room, only to see the Shadow Wind Deathly Thunder had broken into the 1,000-meter mark, forming a pale blue vortex over Zhao Yuanzhen’s head in the sky.

Due to the extreme velocity of the air circulation, molecules from different radii rubbed violently against each other, causing the atoms to begin losing electrons and generate a huge amount of plasma that continuously flashed with massive blue arcs within the vortex, as if heaven’s thunder was about to descend.

The distant drones, affected by the chaotic magnetic fields, had to wobble away to a greater distance. Zhao Yuanzhen’s figure was no longer visible on the camera, only countless arcs of electricity leaping and flickering, completely filling the vision.

No one could contact Zhao Yuanzhen now. Whether she would survive this wave of Tribulation Thunder relied solely on her own capabilities!

In the conference room, Xie Ruoxi was already holding her breath nervously, her face turning deathly pale. Lin Ning also clenched her fists anxiously, but Su Yunjin held her hand, indicating she should conceal her panic, to avoid making Xie Ruoxi even more uneasy.

The girls of the Zhenhai Team were the most anxious about Zhao Yuanzhen’s condition; although slightly better, the others also had furrowed brows and kept silent.

This display of force was even more formidable than Liu Longtao’s crossing of the tribulation, nearly comparable to that of Yan Yu’s!

Lord Master stared at the screen without expression. He did not know that due to the purification of True Yuan through Dual Cultivation, Zhao Yuanzhen’s Core Formation Stage was quite high, thus the difficulty of her Crossing Tribulation had also increased more than a notch.
