Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 388 - 386: Fang Yuan Advances to Tier 7! Celestial Thunder Descends!
Shushan Sword Sect.
In the distant sky, streaks of flying spiritual light were approaching Shushan.
After accepting the invitation from the Shushan Sword Sect, representatives from various major sects arrived in succession and were welcomed in by the Shushan Sword Sect.
Inside the Shushan Great Hall, Elder Xuanxu sat overseeing the proceedings, with the elders of the Shushan Sword Sect, including Xuan Jian, seated on the left side below.
On the right were the elders representing the Celestial Demon Sect, Pure Origin Immortal Sect, and other major factions.
Elders You Yuan and You Lin from the Celestial Demon Sect; Elders Ku Rong and Ku Yu from Little Leiyin Temple; Elders Qing Mu and Qing Ling from Pure Origin Immortal Sect, and so on—there were dozens of them in total.
"Fellow Daoists, the reason our Shushan Sword Sect has invited various sects this time is to discuss the matter of eradicating Tiger King Ridge.
Since everyone is here, I assume you agree to join our Sword Sect in eradicating Tiger King Ridge?"
Elder Xuanxu squinted his eyes slightly and slowly spoke.
"Elder Xuanxu, I’ve heard that your Shushan Sword Sect is willing to take the lead in this operation. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, You Yuan scrutinized Xuanxu and inquired.
As long as the Shushan Sword Sect promises to be at the forefront, the Celestial Demon Sect could also participate in this operation.
"That’s right, Elder Xuanxu, it’s not that we don’t trust your Shushan Sword Sect, it’s just that this matter is of great importance, and it requires you, as the head of the Sword Sect, to personally make the promise."
Qing Mu nodded, agreeing as he spoke.
The envoy sent by the Shushan Sword Sect was merely a Shushan disciple; what weight would his words carry?
If an important figure from the Shushan Sword Sect doesn’t personally speak for this matter, these sects won’t believe it.
If, when the matter is already set in motion and the troops are at the gate of Tiger King Ridge, the Shushan Sword Sect suddenly reneges, what should they do?
Other sects’ elders also cast their gazes toward Xuanxu, wanting him to make the promise in person.
Upon hearing this, Xuanxu chuckled lightly. He knew these sects couldn’t resist the conditions offered by the Shushan Sword Sect.
For these sects were indeed interested in attacking Tiger King Ridge, but they were worried about their own heavy losses, hence they hesitated to make a decision.
Now that Shushan Sword Sect clearly states its willingness to take the lead, it dispels the greatest concerns of these sects, and naturally, they couldn’t help but agree.
Then, Xuanxu’s expression became solemn, and he stated seriously, "Since everyone has this concern, I, the elder, shall dispel your worries.
I, Xuanxu, elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, hereby announce on behalf of the Shushan Sword Sect that in this operation to eradicate Tiger King Ridge, our Shushan Sword Sect is willing to take the lead!"
"With such an assurance, are you satisfied?"
After hearing Xuanxu’s words, the elders of the various sects present all felt assured.
This is excellent—having heard Xuanxu’s words today means they don’t need to worry about the Shushan Sword Sect going back on its word at the last minute unless the Shushan Sword Sect no longer wishes to establish itself among humans.
This was followed by another round of deliberation and discussion. After the Shushan Sword Sect promised considerable benefits, the major sects that were originally dissatisfied with Tiger King Ridge finally agreed.
For this operation, the Shushan Sword Sect will be leading the charge, deploying five elders, while the other sects will each send two of their own elders, combining their forces to eradicate Tiger King Ridge.
...
Tiger King Ridge, Demon Valley.
In the valley shrouded in demonic qi, Fang Yuan’s massive form hovered mid-air, his body flickering with a strange blood-colored glow.
The Demonic Qi Origin condensed in the air by the great array was being absorbed by Fang Yuan at an extremely rapid pace.
One could see the original fog sphere slowly rotating, with strands of Demonic Qi Origin resembling streams flowing down rapidly into Fang Yuan’s body.
Fang Yuan, with closed eyes and concentrated spirit, was focused on refining the Demonic Qi Origin, and his aura was visibly rising rapidly.
The surrounding space also experienced slight distortions due to the waves emanating from Fang Yuan’s body, the terrifying power frightfully intimidating.
Since taking on the task of guarding the Demon Valley, Fang Yuan had never left the valley, constantly absorbing the Demonic Qi Origin escaping from the Ancestral Demon Realm.
Over time, Fang Yuan’s cultivation naturally increased at an extremely rapid pace, and now it had reached the peak of the sixth tier, just one step away from the seventh tier.
The crack on the White Jade Altar continued to intermittently spew out demonic qi. The demonic qi in the valley was quickly absorbed by Fang Yuan, and the crack was rapidly replenished.
As time passed, the aura emanating from Fang Yuan was gradually climbing toward the seventh tier.
Boom!
Suddenly, a booming sound echoed within Fang Yuan’s body, and the aura, which had been slowly rising, suddenly surged upward.
Instantly, a terrifyingly powerful aura swept in all directions, with demonic qi swirling around as if a Demon King had descended into the world, an awe-inspiring might!
"Roar!"
Fang Yuan opened his eyes, a gleam flashed, and he let out a long, joyful roar towards the sky. The endless sound waves whipped up gusts of air, pushing all the demonized vegetation in the valley, and then crashed into the great array, causing a thunderous noise.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had successfully ascended to the seventh tier!
"Hahaha, seventh tier! I, the Demon Monarch, have finally ascended to the seventh tier. The help from this demonic qi has been incredibly significant!"
Feeling the power within him, Fang Yuan could not stop laughing heartily.
Initially, he hadn’t expected to ascend to the seventh tier so quickly, but luck was on his side with his encounter with this Demon Valley.
This Demon Valley seemed tailor-made for him, greatly accelerating his cultivation progress.
At this moment, terrifying sounds came from above in the sky.
Rumble~
The wind and clouds changed color; endless dark clouds gathered, and terrifying bolts of lightning danced within the clouds.
"Thunder Tribulation?"
Fang Yuan came back to his senses and gazed at the Thunder Tribulation in the sky, smacking his lips.
This Thunder Tribulation might be difficult to overcome, but for someone with the experience of a past life, it was not a big deal.
At Peach Grove Valley, Jiang Che and Nangong Luo, hearing the commotion, walked out from the valley and arrived at the mountain peak outside the valley.
"Big brother, something happened at Demon Valley... Is that a Thunder Tribulation?"
Seeing the dark clouds over Demon Valley, Nangong Luo exclaimed in surprise before realizing, furrowing his brows, looking up at the thunderclouds with some hesitation as he spoke.
"It is indeed a Thunder Tribulation; it seems our second brother has ascended to the seventh tier."
Jiang Che nodded. In fact, he hadn’t expected the second brother to make a breakthrough in such a short time, considering that last time they met, the second brother was still some distance from the seventh tier.
However, Jiang Che also felt a sense of urgency, as his own cultivation had reached the late eighth tier. If he slowed down, the second brother would catch up to him.
Above Demon Valley, since Fang Yuan cultivated in the Demon Dao, the Thunder Tribulation was several times stronger compared to a normal tribulation passer.
Rumble~
The purple-glowing thunder grew more intense, almost filling half the sky. Its destructive aura pervaded the entire world, with an extremely grand momentum.
