Chapter 1170 Xuanyu 26
As more and more cultivators gathered to watch from afar, the lightning tribulation intensified, eventually forcing Yaoyao to transform into her true form to resist it. The once charming and adorable little girl instantly transformed into a bloodthirsty demonic vine that blotted out the sky, and the many cultivators immediately understood.
"He signed a life-bound contract with that bloodthirsty demon vine, no wonder he was able to repair his dantian."
"The only way is to sign a life-bound contract with the plant and tree clan. Changing to a spirit beast definitely won't work."
"What a blessing."
"However, he suffered a great calamity during the tribulation."
"Who says it's not?"
"The combat power of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine goes without saying..."
"Even with his dantian shattered, he still managed to encounter the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine and successfully form a contract with it. This kid has some luck."
Mingqi finally passed the tribulation of lightning. Affected by his advancement, Yaoyao's main body expanded further. The blood-red vines covered the sky and the heavens and earth. It seemed that the sweet rain falling from the sky was about to be completely absorbed by the bloodthirsty demon vines.
In comparison, Mingqi was much more pitiful. He lay beneath Yaoyao's true form, without a single drop of spiritual rain around him, looking nothing like a human.
Tan You couldn't stand it anymore and called out in a deep voice, "Yao Yao."
The Bloodthirsty Vine swayed, then lifted the nearly charred Mingqi to the top of its vines, placing him directly under the rain. Meanwhile, Yaoyao's true form expanded further, giving the impression of wanting to take more than its share.
Mo Jiu took a sip of wine. "Yao Yao is a bit greedy."
Mingyuan was optimistic: "It's human nature; everyone wants to have all the benefits."
Just as the cultivators were watching Ming Qi undergo his tribulation, Tan You's gaze suddenly fell on a female cultivator in the crowd. The female cultivator appeared to be around thirty years old, but Tan You felt that her cultivation level was probably similar to Ming Yuan's, likely at the Void Returning stage.
Mo Yi stood next to Tan You and followed her gaze: "That is Huang Wuyue, the sixth elder of the Chaotian Sect. More than five hundred years ago, a Huang family ancestor ascended to heaven in the Chaotian Sect. He was her grandfather."
"Huang?" Tan You smiled slightly. "If you've settled your business, you should go back first. I still have some things to do in the Western Continent."
Mo glanced at her sideways: "Can you manage on your own?"
"I just have low cultivation level," Tan You said with a smile, "but you can't rely solely on cultivation level to make your way in the world."
Her gaze fell on Huang Wuyue, and then she looked up at the sky. Tan You had a premonition that she would gain something unexpected from Huang Wuyue.
These are her private matters, and there's no need for her to act with the Sword Sect anymore.
Mo Yi stopped trying to persuade her. He felt that Tan You was unfathomable. Despite only being at the seventh level of cultivation, which was just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, she dared to stay alone in the Western Continent.
Her confidence? Thinking of the rumors about the Xuanwei Merfolk, Mo Yi shook her head. At the very least, the other party came from the Upper Realm, so she definitely had more to rely on than others.
Unlike human cultivators, who are forced to rush forward desperately due to their lifespan limitations.
After Mingqi survived his tribulation, he needed to recuperate. Once things were settled in the Western Continent, he and Yaoyao left with Mo Yi, Mo Jiu, and Mingyuan. As for Tan You, she stayed in the Western Continent with the little demon beasts of Biluo Ridge.
With Tan You's unparalleled array formations paving the way, she successfully infiltrated the Chaotian Sect. To avoid being caught, Tan You strictly disciplined the little demon beasts who accompanied her.
She didn't go anywhere else, but stayed by Huang Wuyue's side. This feeling of having connections was truly enviable. Back when she was a Golden Ringed Snake, how much did Jin Yao take care of her?
But the original owner of this body was fortunate; she had countless enemies in the upper realm. The opportunity soon arrived. On the tenth day of Tan You's time with Huang Wuyue, Huang Wuyue, unusually, didn't cultivate but returned to her family. Tan You raised an eyebrow slightly. The Huang family?
Huang Wuyue is now the pillar of the family. Although she usually cultivates at the Chaotian Sect, the Huang family will definitely welcome her back with open arms.
Huang Wuyue was clearly extremely impatient with these formalities and the flattery of the Huang family members: "I have important matters to attend to upon my return. Take me to the family ancestral hall immediately."
The current head of the Huang family, Huang Wuxiang, tactfully flattered, "Yes, Ancestor, this way please!"
He was only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he possibly disobey the ancestor's wishes? But why did the ancestor suddenly return to the clan at this time of year? What could have happened?
Soon, Huang Wuxiang and several family retainers appeared in the Huang family ancestral hall along with Huang Wuyue.
Huang Wuyue looked at the ancestral portraits enshrined in the ancestral hall: "Clan leader, please use the spirit mirror. I have important matters to report to the ancestor."
Huang Wuxiang was startled, but dared not ask any more questions. Soon, an ancient bronze mirror was brought out from a secret room behind the ancestral hall. Tan You stood in a corner of the ancestral hall, watching quietly.
She felt that she and Huang Wuyue would have some connection, and it turns out that it was here.
After the spirit mirror was brought out, all the cultivators in the ancestral hall bowed down. Huang Wuyue glanced around and saw that apart from the ten elders of the family and the patriarch Huang Wuxiang, there was no one else.
Huang Wuyue was relieved. She hovered her right hand over the spirit mirror, and used her left hand to cut her right palm with her magic, causing drops of blood to fall onto the mirror.
Huang Wuxiang was shocked: "A call from the bloodline? Ancestor, what has happened to you?"
Huang Wuyue: "Let's talk about it after we get in touch with the ancestor."
Just as the blood was about to cover the entire mirror, the ancient bronze mirror suddenly flashed, and the blood on the mirror was suddenly absorbed by the spirit mirror. On the other side of the spirit mirror, a celestial lord appeared.
Judging from Tan You's perspective, this immortal lord is at most a first-rank immortal. He is probably Huang Yuxiang, the grandfather of Huang Wuyue who ascended to immortality.
Having ascended to the Immortal Realm for over five hundred years, he is still a First-Rank Immortal Lord. It must be tough for him to survive in the Upper Realm.
"Wu Yue, what is it that you would use the Bloodline Summoning Technique?" Huang Yuxiang frowned. He had just entered meditation when he was awakened by the Spirit Mirror, so his emotions were naturally fluctuating.
Huang Wuyue lowered her head slightly: "Grandpa, in times of emergency, we must act expediently."
Huang Yuxiang became serious: "What is it?"
Huang Wuyue glanced at the ancestral hall again, and seeing that there were no outsiders present, she whispered, "Ancestor, do you remember the Xuanwei Mermaid you mentioned before? She has appeared."
"A black-tailed merman?" Huang Yuxiang exclaimed in surprise, "When did she appear?"
Huang Wuyue recounted the biggest gossip about the Chaotian Sect recently, and Huang Yuxiang nodded: "In your opinion, what is that Xuanwei Merman's cultivation level now?"
“At most the seventh level,” Huang Wuyue said in a deep voice. “My granddaughter has observed her carefully and can see through her cultivation at a glance.”
“Seventh tier,” Huang Yuxiang relaxed his brows. “What else do you know about this Xuanwei Merman?”
Huang Wuyue immediately presented the information she had gathered about Tan You: "According to my granddaughter's inquiries, this Xuanwei Merman seems to be particularly skilled in formations..."
