Chapter 979: Chapter 29 Let Her Unleash Her Potential_2

He only knew that if it were his turn to face a heavenly tribulation like this one, it would likely be a case of more bad luck than good.

Could it be because he kept himself pure and was devoted to only one, that the Heavenly Dao decided to cut him some slack? In contrast, since Old Yan and the others maintained improper relationships with multiple people, it provoked the wrath of the Heavenly Dao and resulted in a severe punishment, hence the considerably increased difficulty of their tribulations?

Chen Lingyun watched the screen and suddenly laughed:

“It’s over, that was really close.”

The crowd hurriedly looked closely, the whirlwind and arcs of electricity caused by the wave of Tribulation Thunder had not yet completely dissipated, and the remaining thunder still continued to fall. Considering that the heavenly tribulation was still ongoing, they could at least confirm that Zhao Yuanzhen had not perished.

But Chen Lingyun said so…

After a few seconds, the whirlwind finally slowly dispersed, revealing the burnt and battered Zhao Yuanzhen below. Although he looked disheveled, he seemed to be unharmed, which was quite fortunate.

After all, even a brush with a Tribulation Thunder would result at best in a disabled arm or leg and definitely affect the tribulation to follow.

Yan Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that thankfully their Enchantress still had destiny on her side. He was about to offer some comforting laughter to everyone when he suddenly heard Zhang Huaide say:

“If it were up to me to come up with the strategy, I would have advised her to pause and focus on recovering her True Yuan first, then use all her might to combat the Tribulation Thunder when it descended to a height of one thousand meters.”

Li Minghu nodded and said:

“Me too. But by doing so, without significantly reducing the number of Tribulation Thunders, the sudden split at 1,100 meters would bring even more pressure.”

“That’s why, if it weren’t for Sister Zhao calling forth the White Bone Demon Fire before using the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword to clear a wave of Tribulation Thunders, she might not be standing there intact right now,” Su Yunjin reflected on this and suddenly turned to Yan Yu with a smile:

“It’s indeed the captain’s brilliant calculations.”

“Captain Yan thinks more thoroughly than I do, I am enlightened,” Zhang Huaide said with admiration, his middle finger lightly touching his glasses frame.

“Isn’t that so?” Tang Xiaolian chimed in with a grin, “When it’s my turn to cross the tribulation, could Captain Yan also devise a plan for me?”

Yan Yu:………

“Why not?” He wore a proud expression and calmly said, “Crossing tribulation is a matter of life and death, of course, it cannot be taken lightly. All possibilities must be taken into account, even the most minor variables must not be overlooked.”

“So, it is,” everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Yan Yu felt slightly embarrassed inside, but he maintained the composed expression of having everything under control and slowly left the meeting room.

Back in the hallway, he summoned Puppet Azhen and hesitated for a long while, before finally saying:

“…Forget it, let her play it by ear.”

Zhao Yuanzhen, on the other end, received the order through Puppet Ami and became even more baffled.

You were just commanding me, and I did exactly as you said! The first two waves of Tribulation Thunders were successfully passed, with only the last wave remaining. Why suddenly are you not giving any hints?

At this moment, with the final wave of Tribulation Thunder yet to fall, Zhao Yuanzhen sat cross-legged on the ground, furiously refining the medicinal power within her, racing to recover her True Yuan, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind:

I promised him before, if he could successfully help me through the tribulation, I’d convince the other sisters in the team to… oh no, I mean, to serve him together. Is it because he suspects that I was not fully committed, that he’s now waiting for a better offer, waiting for my response?

Although she looked down on such a greedy attitude, with the Tribulation Thunder still brewing overhead, Zhao Yuanzhen didn’t really have another option but to say to Puppet Ami:

“Tell him! As long as… as long as he can help me form the Golden Core, I’m willing to learn anything! And about that matter, I’ll keep my word, I will do it!”

Puppet Ami relayed the message to Puppet Azhen, and Yan Yu, whose Divine Sense was connected to Azhen, immediately received the message:

“Core Formation! Learn the postures! Will definitely do it!”

Yan Yu was silent for a long time, thinking although the puppet’s speech was all over the place, it wouldn’t fabricate things on its own. The Demonic Sect Enchantress was already at the last stage of her tribulation, the crucial moment to adjust her state for the final stint, so why was she still thinking about those improper things?

Of course, now isn’t the time to scold her. If it ends up shattering her Dao Heart, causing her performance to become abnormal and leading to a failure in crossing the tribulation, Yan Yu would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

“Tell her, okay, okay, okay! We’ll do as she says!” Yan Yu decided to delay by appeasing her. Regardless of what she might demand afterward, the priority was to calm her down first.

Worst comes to worst, they could always go back on their word, right? How could it be considered deceiving if it’s about fooling the Demonic Sect Enchantress?

Upon receiving the three “okay”s, Zhao Yuanzhen felt even more annoyed in her heart.

So it really is blackmail, isn’t it?

Fine, fine, fine, since you’re despicable, shameless, cunning, and deceitful, then I need not concern myself with any marital affection or ethics and morality.

If you can get out of bed the next day, I’ll give up my position as the main wife and let them each take turns!

At this thought, Zhao Yuanzhen felt her fighting spirit surging, her mind filled with the desire to repay Yan Yu for taking advantage of her tribulation to make various demands and blackmail her. She couldn’t wait to shatter all the tribulation thunder above her head immediately, then find Yan Yu to fulfill his promise and reclaim her dignity!

Above her head, the largest-ever cluster of tribulation thunder was slowly bearing down.

————————

When Yan Yu was crossing his tribulation, foreign powers bribed local cultivators, attempting a pincer attack from both inside and outside to stop Yan Yu from forming his Core.

By the time Lord Master and the Enchantress were crossing their tribulations, these foreign powers have all ceased their actions.

Initially, the Privy Council of Lu Country believed that it was because Yan Yu successfully formed his Golden Core, causing the foreign powers to conclude that it was too difficult to stop the subsequent cultivators from crossing their tribulations, so they gave up on unnecessary attempts.

However, during Zhao Yuanzhen’s tribulation, the intelligence system from Chongying brought a shocking piece of news.

The population in the four-country region was rapidly diminishing, with countless cities becoming Ghost Cities within half an hour, with not a single living soul in sight!

The sudden drop in population would have been considered, in the past, the result of “some Mysterious Realm suddenly descending upon the mundane world, sweeping the innocent masses into it.” But now, with the lesson from the Southern Border, what worried everyone more was that the Yin Yang Bureau of Chongying had already started cultivating their own Orochi.

After all, any observant person could see that the cultivators of Lu Country were leading by a large margin in Core Formation. Even without taking any actions, just steady development could overpower the Yin Yang Bureau in terms of high-end forces—the early accumulation’s snowball effect was just too significant.

On the other hand, if the Yin Yang Bureau didn’t want to become a vassal of the Privy Council of Lu Country in the future, then they must launch an emergency assault, betting the nation’s fate to interrupt Lu Country’s rise.

Pearl Harbor was almost within reach!

The rapid disappearance of the population was an extremely dangerous signal, to the extent that the Privy Council simply could not ignore it. They quickly had Li Weiguo call Yan Yu.

“Hmm, what do I need to do?” Yan Yu asked in a deep voice after receiving the message.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen’s tribulation had not yet ended, his staying here wasn’t going to help her. It would be better to let her perform freely.

“Be ready for battle at any moment,” said Li Weiguo with seriousness. “Once the Orochi’s cultivation ritual begins, it cannot be halted, otherwise all the early investments will be wasted.”

“Our intelligence system is searching at full capacity for the Orochi’s true location. Once we find even the slightest clue, we will immediately assign you a mission.”

“Alright,” said Yan Yu, “I am ready for battle at any moment.”

As a mighty Golden Core Cultivator, no matter how many opposing Transcendents there were within the Foundation Establishment Realm, Yan Yu no longer considered them a threat.

In his past life, the Orochi was born in the waters near Ryuukyuu. When it emerged, it nearly devoured three-quarters of the Ryuukyuu population.

However, the current era was vastly different from his past life, and many places had completely changed. Yan Yu couldn’t guarantee that the Yin Yang Bureau would still hide the Orochi’s true body near Ryuukyuu.

Of course, this time the battle surely wouldn’t be as difficult as it was in his previous life.

Yan Yu stared at Zhao Yuanzhen’s tribulation site, thinking to himself.
