#323 - Chapter 323: Which Taoist friend is here to overcome this tribulation again?
A place where Yin and Yang intertwined.
One after another, figures emerged from the passage.
They were all returning to report after completing their tasks.
Lin Yaoyao, Ye Xiaoyao, Ji Changsheng, Xiaoqing, and Xiaobai emerged from the passage one after another.
She was the fastest to complete the task.
After Lin Yaoyao and the others returned, they gathered together and handed over what they had obtained.
However, the Star Gazing Pavilion offered two choices: either hand over the retrieved items, and the Star Gazing Pavilion would provide a reward, or keep the obtained items as the reward.
Lin Yaoyao and the others didn't hand over their items, taking them as their own rewards, while Ji Changsheng received a precious sword as a reward.
The group of six then returned to the spirit boat.
As for Su Qingwan and the two disciples of the Jade Fragrance Sect, they were currently out on missions, and judging by the situation, it would be difficult for them to return in the short term.
Back on the spirit boat.
Ye Kong nodded with a smile, but Lin Yaoyao and the others ignored Ye Kong and went straight to the deck.
The Earth Mother returned from the shadows and walked to Ye Kong's side, saying, "Your little disciple, Ye Qingjun, is about to break through."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kong walked down from the deck and followed the Earth Mother into the depths of the earth.
Originally, Ye Qingjun was going to break through on the spirit boat, but it was too noisy on the spirit boat, which would affect her. Ye Kong asked the Earth Mother to transfer Ye Qingjun underground and keep a close watch on her.
He told her to inform him immediately if anything happened.
Underground.
Ye Qingjun's aura rapidly increased, and endless spiritual power poured into her body. A mass of green liquid surged within Ye Qingjun's body, gradually transforming into a Dao Foundation.
"That is the essence of life, the foundation of Ye Qingjun. Condensing the Dao Foundation with the essence of life will allow her to cultivate quickly," the Earth Mother explained.
"Mm," Ye Kong nodded.
At this moment, above the Yin Yang Interfusion Ground, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, as if a tribulation was about to descend.
"Which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation here?" a Star Gazing Master from Holy Continent asked.
If heavenly lightning struck, the entire Yin Yang Interfusion Ground would be affected.
The phenomenon hadn't ended. As the heavenly lightning gathered, countless spiritual energies converged, making the spiritual power of the entire Yin Yang Interfusion Ground incredibly dense.
Not only the Yin Yang Interfusion Ground, but also the Holy Yuan Forbidden Ground.
Within the Holy Yuan Forbidden Ground, spiritual power surged like a tide. In the main hall, the sprouted seed planted in the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was growing vigorously, turning into a small grass, and possessing a faint divine sense.
Yin Yang Interfusion Ground.
As the spiritual power became increasingly concentrated, it became impossible for the Star Gazing Masters to know who was undergoing tribulation, or rather, breaking through.
Mu Qianyuan couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the phenomenon, "Is this foundation building or tribulation to become an Emperor?!"
When the concentration of spiritual power reached a certain point, heavenly lightning instantly descended.
The Star Gazing Masters from all continents stood on the mountain peaks, simultaneously casting a protective barrier to resist the heavenly lightning.
The Star Gazing Masters from all continents were a bit frustrated, not knowing who was undergoing tribulation and making them resist it.
But they had no choice but to resist.
If they didn't, countless people would be killed or injured when the heavenly lightning struck.
"Damn it, who would run to a deserted place to undergo tribulation? Undergoing tribulation in the Yin Yang Interfusion Ground? Are you out of your mind?"
"Don't let me know who it is, or even if you become an Emperor, my Star Gazing Pavilion will hold a grudge."
The Star Gazing Masters from all continents cursed.
The Star Gazing Pavilion wasn't afraid of the Great Emperor, because the Star Gazing Pavilions of all continents had origins and backgrounds.
"Rumble!"
Heavenly lightning instantly descended, striking the formation.
Ye Qingjun was, after all, the daughter of the Azure Emperor, so her foundation building would attract a lightning tribulation.
Fortunately, with the help of the Star Gazing Masters from all continents, she was completely fine.
Underground.
Ye Kong seemed to have heard the sound of thunder and asked the Earth Mother, "Did you hear the sound of thunder just now?"
The Earth Mother shook her head and said, "Maybe you misheard. Where is there any thunder?"
Ye Kong frowned, "Could it be that I really misheard?"
Outside.
The Star Gazing Masters from all continents spat out blood. The descent of the heavenly lightning caused great damage to them.
Mu Qianyuan couldn't hold on any longer.
"This heavenly lightning is too strong. Isn't it just building a foundation? It's not like undergoing tribulation to become an Emperor!" Mu Qianyuan grumbled.
If this heavenly lightning were to strike Ye Qingjun, it would definitely cause devastating damage.
"Rumble!"
Heavenly lightning struck again, even stronger than the last time. The Star Gazing Masters of the Twelve Continents couldn't hold on any longer, and cracks appeared in the defensive barrier.
The Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent had no choice but to offer up the Star Gazing Pavilion and activate the formation of the Star Gazing Pavilion.
The formation of the Star Gazing Pavilion was created by his ancestor, Star, and was absolutely powerful.
The heavenly lightning struck the Star Gazing Pavilion and was blocked, but the Star Gazing Pavilion also shook violently.
"Ancestor, I'm sorry," the Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent silently apologized.
On the top floor of the Star Gazing Pavilion, Star sat up again, completely numb, his hair standing on end.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Star instantly understood what was happening.
"Rumble..."
Heavenly lightning struck again, and the Star Gazing Pavilion blocked the heavenly lightning, but a strand of heavenly lightning still penetrated, destroying his coffin.
Star sat on the ground, his eyes blank, "Numb, let's just destroy it quickly."
His coffin was gone, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.
As the heavenly lightning continued, the Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent offered up the Star Gazing Pavilion high, resisting the heavenly lightning and preventing the aftermath of the heavenly lightning from affecting the Yin Yang Interfusion Ground.
And Star was constantly struck by lightning.
The heavenly lightning lasted for an entire incense stick's worth of time before gradually dissipating.
The formation on the Star Gazing Pavilion became dim, and the Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent hurriedly went in to meet the ancestor.
"Ancestor, are you... alright?" the Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent asked.
Star stared blankly at the Star Gazing Master, focused his Qi in his Dantian, resonated his chest cavity, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
With one sentence, Star drove the Star Gazing Master out of the Star Gazing Pavilion.
Then he controlled the Star Gazing Pavilion to return to Holy Continent.
"Ancestor, don't go! I was wrong!" the Star Gazing Master of Holy Continent shouted from behind.
The ancestor ran away with the Star Gazing Pavilion, which left him a little dazed.
Underground.
Ye Qingjun's Dao Foundation was condensed, her aura gradually stabilized, and she settled in the early stage of Foundation Building.
"Alright, let's go out," Ye Kong said.
With a wave of her hand, the Earth Mother brought Ye Qingjun and Ye Kong back to the deck of the spirit boat.
Ye Qingjun was still adjusting her state, and it wouldn't be long before she woke up.
The Earth Mother stood on the deck, glanced at the direction of the center of the Yin Yang Interfusion Ground, and frowned.
"Why is the Star Gazing Pavilion gone?"
"Ancestor Star ran away with the Star Gazing Pavilion, and the Eldest Brother went to chase after him," Mu Qianyuan said as he returned.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Why?" the Earth Mother asked in confusion.
Mu Qianyuan took a deep look at the Earth Mother and Ye Kong. Why?
Why don't you have any idea why?
