Chapter 371 Reaching the Pinnacle
Chapter 371 Reaching the Pinnacle
......
North Sea.
There was the Ying clan.
Ying Ze held the cub, kissing it endlessly.
Mu Yunyun also found it extremely appealing.
The little guy was born weak, but since he was raised by the Youying family, he has become fair-skinned and incredibly strong thanks to his grandfather and grandmother.
She stretched out her fingertip and teased the little cub's soft little face.
Yingze wouldn't let her touch him, afraid she wouldn't be gentle.
"Didn't you say you were going back? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Yingze asked.
He misses his cubs.
I want to stay with my mother's family for a while.
This will also allow the little ones to get to know each other and build a bond, so they won't be too distant later.
Mu Yunyun rubbed the cub's head.
"We're going back now. Take good care of yourself, okay?" She was still a little worried about him.
Ying Ze felt a little smug; he knew she couldn't bear to part with him.
"Okay, okay, you should go now."
Actually, he wanted her to stay and live with him in his mother's clan.
But spring was just around the corner, and she was overwhelmed with a lot of things to do. Plus, she was pregnant, so he didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
but……
"If you continue to have ambiguous relationships with other people, I really won't talk to you anymore."
Ying Ze warned her fiercely that if it weren't for taking care of the cubs, he would keep a close eye on her.
He can't stand having so many of them and still having affairs everywhere!
Mu Yunyun was completely baffled.
"I know, I know."
Since her affair with Tai Lin was discovered, she has been extremely cautious these days, not even daring to speak loudly.
Fortunately, Ying Ze needed to return to his mother's clan to see his cubs, so she took the opportunity to slip away and catch her breath.
Ying Ze didn't intend to make things too difficult for her.
He handed the cub to the wet nurse and personally saw her out.
Outside, Bai Sang'er was already waiting.
The Night Birds transformed into their beast forms and slowly circled down to the ground.
Ying Ze was worried and pulled her cloak tighter around herself.
"It's cold, be careful not to catch a chill."
Mu Yunyun squeezed his hand: "Go back quickly, no need to see me off."
"I'll watch you leave."
Having no other choice, Mu Yunyun walked towards the large bird and waved to him from its body.
Ying Ze's eyelids twitched violently for some reason, and he felt a little panicked.
He stepped forward, as if to suggest that they stay a few more days.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the large bird flap its wings and fly away, disappearing in no time.
"My lord, you should go back now."
Gudu came out and saw that her master looked a little unwell.
"grown ups?"
Ying Ze came to his senses.
"I don't know why, but I just feel really anxious."
My heart was pounding, and my eyelids kept twitching; I had a feeling something big was about to happen.
Gu Duo smiled and said, "My lord, you are overthinking it. The Night Bird Clan is skilled in flying and will definitely be fine."
"I hope I'm just overthinking it." Ying Ze stared blankly at the sea.
"The master just can't bear to part with the clan leader and refuses to admit it."
"No way!"
Gu Duo exposed him: "Lord Shaoyi gave the clan leader a hard time, and the lord couldn't stand it, so he made an excuse to go back to his mother's clan so that the clan leader could relax. I know all about it."
"I want you to talk more."
Ying Ze felt a little embarrassed; he was just worried about how cautious she was.
However, he did miss the cubs and didn't want to leave after returning.
"I'm leaving, I'm going back." Ying Ze turned around, probably because he was reluctant to part with her and was overthinking things.
……
The wind was biting cold.
Mu Yunyun's face stung from the sharp wind.
Bai Sang'er was extremely worried: "Clan leader, please be patient a little longer, we'll be there soon."
We've just crossed the sea; we can find a campfire to rest.
Mu Yunyun wanted to say no, she wasn't that delicate. Now that she had reached the eighth level, her wood-type spiritual veins were circulating smoothly, and she wouldn't catch a cold. She thought it would be better to go back to Aoshan as soon as possible, since it was almost dark.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a fierce howl.
The fierce howl, accompanied by a cold wind, swept in like a mighty dragon over a vast ocean. She instinctively turned around, only to see countless golden arrows shooting straight towards her!
not good!
"Clan leader, be careful!" Bai Sang'er exclaimed.
Mu Yunyun's heart skipped a beat.
A fierce gust of wind raged, and she almost instinctively launched a counterattack!
"boom--"
A large net was spread out from the sky, blocking the incoming rain of arrows. Mu Yunyun landed with a narrow escape and looked up at the sky.
"Who?"
In the clouds.
The thunderbird flaps its wings.
The people standing atop her were looking at her with haughty disdain.
"The princess has ordered us to take your head."
what!
Bai Sang'er looked up and saw the totem embroidered on the newcomer's brocade robe, and her heart trembled.
Princess!
These people are from the sacred mountain!
Mu Yunyun frowned and stepped forward: "My lords, is there a misunderstanding? My Mu family has never offended the princess."
In the clouds, these people looked down on her with disdain, high and mighty.
"Even facing death, she shows no remorse." Someone said, "The princess's maid, Ying, was chased all the way by you, Mu, and only then did she flee to the sacred mountain to seek the princess's protection. Today's fate is nothing but her own fault."
Yingshi?
Yingzhao's family?
What a hero?
Mu Yunyun's face darkened.
She bowed with her hands clasped in greeting:
"We urge you, Your Excellency, to investigate thoroughly. On that day, Ying Shen used the pollen of the Immortal Deer Vine to lure out the ferocious beast Zhu Yan, which killed Lady Yin. This matter is of great importance, and it happened within the territory of Yuanzhou. We dare not fail to investigate."
"Yin Lian?"
The group hadn't expected this to happen.
Of course they knew about the Yin family.
The son of the young clan leader of the Northern Yin clan was the concubine of the princess.
The Yin clan of Kyushu were relatives of the Northern Yin clan.
After Yin Lian's tragic death, it was said that the head of the Yin clan even caused a scene at the sacred mountain, but the Northern Yin clan was too busy to deal with it and sent her away far away.
But what does it have to do with them?
"Even if there was a reason, so what? The princess taking your life is a blessing you've earned over several lifetimes."
"That's right, Princess, please have mercy and spare your entire Mu clan. You only need to give me your worthless life."
"Why waste so much breath on her? Let's get back to work."
Bai Sang'er was shocked.
"My lord, spare my life! Please, for the sake of the Taihao clan, spare the life of my clan leader!"
"Taihao Clan?"
Everyone looked at each other.
What does this have to do with the Taihao clan?
Bai Sang'er swallowed hard, beads of sweat trickling down her temples.
Her hands were trembling, and her face was completely bloodless.
Before the sacred mountain, she felt as insignificant as an ant, and could not help but be unafraid.
"Our clan leader is pregnant with Taihao's child. Please, sir, spare us for the sake of Taihao."
It turned out to be the case.
Upon hearing this, these people became even more disdainful.
"What is Taihao Clan anyway? Just a piece of trash whose nine tails have been severed."
“In front of my princess, Taihao is not even worthy to carry her shoes.”
"Alright, we don't have time to waste with you. Since you don't want to fight, then we won't be polite."
what!
Bai Sang'er was shocked.
Above the clouds, thunderbirds cry.
The scream was shrill and deafening, making Bai Sang'er's ears ring and her vision go black as she was about to faint.
Mu Yunyun supported her: "Sang'er, I'll hold them off, you go and call for help."
A continuous stream of spiritual energy seeps into the spiritual veins.
The other females of the Nightbird Clan had already fainted from the cries.
"Chieftain, but..."
"No buts, they won't hurt you, run!"
Thousands of arrows are taut on the bowstring.
Bai Sang'er gritted her teeth and nodded emphatically.
"Great Clan Chief, you must hold on."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a rain of arrows pierced the air!
"Run!"
Arrows imbued with spiritual energy rained down like a dense storm!
Mu Yunyun used vines as a net, spreading it out to the sky and earth to block the dense forest of arrows!
"Out of control."
On the cloud, everyone sneered.
Having reached the pinnacle of their realm, their arrows, condensed from spiritual energy, were far beyond the reach of a mere eighth-rank cultivator.
"boom--"
There was a muffled sound.
Mu Yunyun was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.
The vine net shattered on the ground, and an arrow pierced straight into his heart!
Not only that, the aftershocks of the spiritual energy from reaching the pinnacle shattered her sternum, leaving her with no strength to even put up a fight.
Back then, she could have fought back fiercely against that beast Zhu Yan.
But now she is facing several members of the Divine Mountain Clan who have reached the pinnacle of the Great Realm!
"puff--"
She spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
Snowing.
The snowflakes fell to the ground, stained with specks of crimson.
Mu Yunyun tried to stand up, but felt weak in her limbs.
She couldn't even withstand a single move!
The Thunderbird landed on the ground.
She saw the disciples of the Divine Mountain Clan dismount from the back of the great beast, and the leader of them strode over, pressing a long sword against her neck.
"Considering you are pregnant, I will grant you a quick death if you kowtow."
She spoke to Mu Yunyun as if it were a handout.
The longsword was icy cold.
This sword is called the Azure Cloud Sword.
It was forged under her personal supervision.
Mu Yunyun didn't know why, but she just felt like laughing.
The young female of the Divine Mountain Clan exclaimed in surprise, not expecting her to react this way.
In the past, people they wanted to kill would have cried and begged for mercy on their knees in this situation.
But this little female is different.
Her eyes were as black as ink, calm as a deep pool; she had never seen such a look in her eyes before.
"why are you laughing?"
What are you laughing at?
Mu Yunyun thought that she had put in a lot of effort to settle down in Yuanzhou from the rainforest, making pottery, forging, farming, and raising livestock, working diligently and conscientiously.
In the end, in the eyes of the sacred mountain, they were still as lowly as ants, and could be killed at will.
"I'm asking you a question."
The little female pushed the sword forward a little.
A thin line of blood trickled down Mu Yunyun's slender neck.
Mu Yunyun looked up at the person who had just arrived.
To be precise, it was the sacred mountain totem embroidered on her cuffs that I was looking at.
At the highest peak.
The realm of Sendai.
Everyone in the Nine Provinces yearns for it, and even she, when she made a pact with the Northern Yin Clan, secretly considered going to the sacred mountain an honor.
Looking back now, it's a joke.
Mu Yunyun met her condescending gaze.
"You dare to take my life? You're not worthy!"
"you!"
The voice just fell.
The ancient dragon-trapping formation slowly rose from the ground.
The dragon roars.
The spiritual energy from the mountains and seas of Kyushu surged in recklessly.
"This is the Dragon-Trapping Formation!"
Everyone was shocked!
It should be noted that even the eighth-level Zhulong cultivator was trapped and died in this formation back then.
Unexpectedly, this little female was able to activate this ancient formation.
"She actually has five elemental veins!"
"what!"
Five spiritual veins!
How can it be!
"So what if she has five elemental veins? She's using her body as a shield; she won't last long. Kill her quickly!"
Some people are planning to make this a quick and decisive battle.
However, this reckless spiritual energy was surging wildly into Mu Yunyun's body.
This made it impossible for them to get close.
"Oh no, she's trying to take us all down with her."
The Dragon Imprisoning Formation draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating endlessly. Those who execute the formation can use the continuous flow of spiritual energy to fight to the death with those trapped within.
This grand formation typically requires dozens to hundreds of people to execute it.
With one person as the formation, the swarming spiritual energy would surely cause one to explode and die!
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
This little female is only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Great Realm. If she were to explode and die, she would be crippled even if she didn't die!
"Quickly, kill her!"
Someone spoke.
This madman, does he even dare to offend the sacred mountain?
Mu Yunyun closed her eyes; she wasn't acting on impulse.
Last time, absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual bone greatly increased her level and also allowed her to figure out the trick to getting spiritual energy into her body.
However, the spiritual energy contained within the spiritual bone is extremely pure, which is derived from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering the dantian for transformation and refinement.
She now draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and must extract and stabilize it before her Qi Sea surges, in order to advance her cultivation level.
This move was risky.
There is absolutely no way we'd let her sit and wait to die!
The surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly, and the spiritual energy flowed freely within the spiritual veins.
Mu Yunyun steadied herself.
There can be no rush.
You must not rush.
She drew in her inner energy, and the abundant spiritual energy cleansed her limbs and bones, finally solidifying slowly within her dantian.
faster.
Faster.
Mu Yunyun was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Sudden.
A thunderclap resounded from the heavens and earth.
The thunder roared like a dragon's cry and a tiger's howl, startling everyone trapped in the Dragon Imprisonment Formation.
This is.......
"It's thunder!"
Someone shouted, and everyone looked up.
As snow fell heavily, the laws of heaven and earth unfolded in the clouds, and rolling thunder, like a dragon, disappeared in the sky, ready to fall at any moment.
"What a joke!"
There has been no tribulation of lightning in the Nine Provinces for several years.
The last time a tribulation of lightning occurred was thousands of years ago when the Azure Phoenix ascended to the summit.
After all, the spiritual energy in the Nine Provinces is scarce, making it impossible to reach the top realm.
They have the bloodline of the divine mountain flowing through their veins, and they were born at the peak of the Great Realm. They have not yet stepped into the First Realm and have never experienced the tribulation of lightning.
"Run!"
Under the laws of heaven and earth, no formation can hide from them; the Dragon Imprisoning Formation can no longer hold them.
However, the next second, everyone's expression changed drastically.
They can't escape at all.
This is the binding power before the tribulation lightning descends!
Oh shit!
She's trying to attract lightning to strike them dead!
For the first time, these exceptionally talented members of the Shenshan clan felt fear.
"boom--"
There was a loud noise all over.
A dragon roared from the clouds, unleashing divine punishment!
"Hurry up and protect your body!"
It's just that it's too late!
The laws of heaven and earth disregard everything.
Mu Yunyun truly experienced what it meant to be struck by lightning!
The pain of flesh being torn apart.
A pain that touches the very soul!
She stood in the center of the lightning tribulation, her body covered in blood, her spiritual veins being cleansed inch by inch by the lightning punishment, making her feel worse than dead!
It's not just her.
Those trapped under the lightning tribulation by the laws of heaven and earth are not having an easy time either.
Those with lower cultivation levels were instantly killed.
Even those with higher cultivation levels, barely holding on, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
A thunderbolt.
Double thunder.
The roar of the lightning tribulation shook the entire land!
"Bang-"
The jade hairpin on Qi Yue's head fell to the ground and shattered into two pieces.
He frowned and handed the cub to the wet nurse.
Just then, a thunderbolt struck from the sky.
This is......
He looked up suddenly.
This is the power of lightning tribulation!
Is someone in Kyushu about to reach the pinnacle of the Great Realm?
Just then, the servant boy rushed in.
"Sir, it's bad, something happened."
Qi Yue's eyelids twitched.
