The Method of Overcoming Tribulation: Xiao Fan Misses Another Opportunity!

Inside the cave, wisps of incense smoke curled from the burner, releasing a calming and tranquil fragrance.

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingxue, who was adjusting her breathing and preparing, but did not immediately let her begin her breakthrough.

The Inner Demon Tribulation is the most dangerous stage among the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulations. A slight misstep can lead to the annihilation of one's Dao and body, or the transformation into a demon who only knows how to kill.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out an exquisite jade bottle from the Heavenly Sword True Monarch's storage bag and poured out a crystal-clear pill that seemed to be shrouded in mist.

The fourth-grade elixir, the Taixu Yuqing Pill.

This pill is a superior item that helps cultivators overcome the tribulation of inner demons. It can preserve the last shred of clarity in the mind and is priceless.

"Qingxue, take this pill." Lu Yuan handed over the pill, his tone gentle: "With the protection of this pill, the inner demon tribulation can be weakened by thirty percent."

Gu Qingxue took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a cool sensation spread throughout her body, bringing her an unprecedented sense of peace.

Lu Yuan continued, "I know you have a hurdle in your heart, about the Gu family, about that old matter. You don't need to worry about it. Once this matter is settled, I will take some time to accompany you back to the Gu family."

You are my Daoist companion, and I will naturally protect your family. The grudges of the past should also be settled.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly.

She looked up, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears of emotion.

That was the deepest thorn she had buried in her heart, which Lu Yuan had now easily removed.

"Thank you, my husband," she said softly, her guilt and obsession dissipating in that moment.

"And another thing." Lu Yuan stretched out his finger and gently touched Gu Qingxue's brow: "To ensure everything goes smoothly, I will separate a wisp of divine consciousness and enter your sea of ​​consciousness. If the inner demon tribulation changes, this wisp of divine consciousness will help you see through the illusion. On ordinary days, it will also remain dormant deep in your sea of ​​consciousness to protect you."

This is an extremely intimate method, and only couples who absolutely trust each other would do so.

After all, opening one's mind to accept another's consciousness is tantamount to handing one's life over to that person.

Gu Qingxue did not resist at all and obediently relaxed her mind.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan saw that Gu Qingxue's condition had been adjusted to its peak, so he told her to go into seclusion and wait for the opportunity to break through.

He stepped out of the cave and, in a flash, arrived at the sect's main hall.

Inside the main hall, Gu Qingxiao, the head of the Enforcement Hall, was already waiting.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Qingxiao, go to the Netherworld Dungeon." Lu Yuan sat in the main seat, his tone calm: "Since Xiao Fan has shown a good attitude in admitting his mistake, let's release him ahead of schedule. After all, he is the champion of the competition. Imprisoning him for too long would make our sect seem petty."

Gu Qingxiao was slightly taken aback. In his memory, the ancestor was not the kind of person who would change his mind so easily.

Moreover, Xiao Fan had only been imprisoned for a few days, so how could his attitude be considered good?

However, he knew that his ancestor's actions must have a deeper meaning, so he dared not ask any more questions and immediately accepted the order and left.

Lu Yuan watched Gu Qingxiao's departing figure, a playful smile curving his lips.

According to intelligence, Xiao Fan will use the Nine Nether Winds deep within the dungeon at Chenshi (7-9 AM) today to break the second shackle of the Ancient Sacred Body.

It's only half an hour until Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

Releasing him at this moment is just in time to catch him at a crucial juncture before his breakthrough.

This is more painful for him than killing him.

Moreover, he had already taken the Netherworld Soil from the dungeon and destroyed the Great Wilderness Burning Heaven Technique.

There's hardly any oil or juice left to extract from this leek.

……

Deep within the Netherworld Dungeon.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged in the wind, enduring excruciating pain as he guided the gale to temper his body.

On the surface of his skin, golden blood and energy surged continuously, and the second shackle in his body had begun to loosen and was about to break.

"Hold on, Fan'er." The voice of the Medicine Venerable rang in his mind, with a hint of excitement: "As long as you wait another half an hour, the most intense wave of the Nine Nether Winds will arrive, and you will be able to break through the barrier in one fell swoop."

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anticipation.

However, at that moment...

Clang!

The heavy prison door was opened.

Gu Qingxiao entered with two law enforcement disciples and said expressionlessly, "Xiao Fan, the Ancestor has shown mercy. Considering this is your first offense and your attitude in admitting your mistake is acceptable, I hereby grant you early release. Come out."

Xiao Fan was stunned.

He is now out of prison.

His blood and qi were boiling, and he was breaking through the shackles at the most critical moment.

If we interrupt it now, not only will all our previous efforts be wasted, but we may even suffer a backlash from our own blood and qi.

"Elder, this disciple...this disciple wishes to stay a little longer," Xiao Fan said urgently. "This disciple feels deeply guilty and is willing to accept more punishment."

Gu Qingxiao frowned and snorted coldly: "Nonsense! How can you bargain over the Ancestor's decree? Come out at once and don't be so ungrateful."

After saying that, he didn't give Xiao Fan any chance to explain. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Fan, using his spiritual energy to pull him out of the wind and drag him out of the dungeon.

"No……"

Xiao Fan let out a desperate cry in his heart.

As he was removed from the harsh wind environment, the momentum within him that was about to break free of its shackles instantly dissipated.

The backlash surged through him, nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

[Ding! Successfully interrupted the breakthrough of Xiao Fan's Blue-Tier Divine Body, the Chosen One of Destiny. Reward: 100 Destiny Points.]

The system notification sounded in Lu Yuan's mind.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had arrived at another area of ​​the Netherworld Dungeon.

There are three people being held here.

Jiang Wuyai, Zhao Wuji, Liu Mengxi.

The three were pierced through the collarbone by the Locking Yuan Chain, their cultivation was sealed, and they collapsed in a sorry state on the damp ground.

When the cell door opened, Lu Yuan slowly walked in.

The three of them struggled to lift their heads.

When they saw Lu Yuan's current appearance, their pupils suddenly contracted, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

The Lu Yuan before me was no longer the old man on his deathbed.

He had a tall and straight posture, a full head of black hair like a waterfall, and skin that was smooth and radiant.

Especially those deep eyes, which seemed to hold the sun, moon, and stars as they opened and closed, exuding a terrifying pressure that made their souls tremble.

Transformation into a deity.

This aura is definitely from someone at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Ancestor... Ancestor." Jiang Wuyai's voice trembled, a fear originating from the depths of his soul: "You... you've broken through."

He never imagined that after a lifetime of scheming and betraying his sect, this would be the final outcome.

Not only did the ancestor not die, but he also rejuvenated, attained enlightenment and became a deity, and his lifespan increased to five thousand years.

This means that the Qingyun Sect will be impregnable for thousands of years to come.

But he ruined his own future and his life with his own hands.

"Jiang Wuyai, Zhao Wuji, Liu Mengxi." Lu Yuan looked down at the three of them, his voice indifferent: "As elders of the sect, you three have been supported by the sect for hundreds of years, yet instead of repaying their kindness, you have colluded with external enemies, intending to overthrow the sect. What is your crime?"
