Chapter 49: Transformation Thunder Tribulation (Part 1)

  Shen Gong Bao and Duo Bao returned to Jin Ao Island, then brought the female Wa Jing Wei to find Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan. In this short period of time, these two people gained a lot, and after receiving the order from Tong Tian Jiao Zhu, they were severely trained by the crowd of immortals who intercepted the teachings, and also gave them great guidance and inspiration.

  Especially, the Qiu Shou Xian and Jin Guang Xian gave Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan a postnatal treasure of the highest quality, a Hunyuan staff and a Qiankun spear, which made Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan very happy.

  It's embarrassing to say, but Master Shen Gongbao has several spiritual treasures on him, however, apart from the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the Kaiming Axe, there aren't many other attack-type spiritual treasures. Both of these items have great karma attached to them, so Master Shen Gongbao doesn't dare to easily bestow them upon Liu Er or Nian Lingyue.

  Even Shen Gong Bao himself had no attacking magic treasures, and upon learning that both of them had received magic treasures from Xiu Shou Xian and Jin Guang Xian, Shen Gong Bao naturally thanked the two immortals and also secretly reminded himself that he should indeed find a good magic treasure to use for self-defense.

  "Master, is this your sister?" Liu Er scratched his monkey cheeks and pointed at Jingwei.

  "Hehe, Sixth Brother, it's me, Jing Wei." Jing Wei called out sweetly.

  "Jingwei?" Six Ears' mouth agape, disbelieving, "You're that little bird from before?"

  "Hehe, yes, and thanks to Big Brother for telling Master, Jingwei was able to escape the predicament."

  Liu Er smiled foolishly and rubbed his head, "Nothing, from now on we're all fellow disciples, we should take care of each other."

  Nian Lingyan smiled foolishly at Jingwei and introduced himself: "Hello Jingwei, my name is Nian Lingyan, hehe."

  At this time, Qiu Shou Xian again congratulated Shen Gong Bao: "Haha, fellow Taoist has gained another excellent disciple, congratulations!"

  Shen Gong Bao bowed his head and said: "Thanks to the kindness of Emperor Shennong, I have just left my beloved daughter with you to take care of."

  "It's a blessing for fellow Taoists to be appreciated by Emperor Shennong!" Jin Guangxian said in response.

  "Right, Fellow Taoist, I observe that Ling Yan is about to undergo the Tribulation of Transformation. Do you have any preparations?" Qiu Shou Xian asked.

  Shen Gong Bao glanced at Nian Ling Yan, and found that the fluctuations of his law power were becoming more turbulent, obviously the day of his tribulation was approaching.

  "I plan to set up a few arrays to protect this child and help him pass through his transformation tribulation smoothly."

  Unexpectedly, Xiān Hāhā burst out laughing and said to Shěn Gōng Bào: "Fellow Daoist, your words are incorrect. As a member of the human tribe, you do not understand the secrets of our demon tribe."

  "Oh? I'd like to hear more!" said Shen Gongbao curiously.

  "The time of the demon clan's transformation tribulation is unpredictable, but the rarer and more unique the talent, the later the transformation tribulation comes, and the stronger the thunder tribulation faced. Some may pass the tribulation at the Refining Spirit Returning to Void stage, while others may only pass it at the Mahayana Golden Immortal stage. For example, our demon clan's former Emperor Donghuang Taizhen was only able to pass the tribulation at the Mahayana Golden Immortal stage, and after transforming, he was already in the later stages of his cultivation, which is extremely formidable."

  Shen Gong Bao nodded and said: "I have understood this matter, but what does it have to do with Nian Ling Yan's tribulation?"

  "Don't be impatient, friends, and listen to me carefully!" The horned immortal chuckled and said, "Although the tribulation of transformation is a bit dangerous for our demon clan, it's actually a test from heaven. However, it's also a great opportunity for us demons. Apart from our innate divine abilities and cultivated Taoist skills, we have another powerful tool - our original demonic body. The cultivation of the demonic body, apart from being tempered by law every day, is best achieved through thunder tribulation baptism. As long as one can withstand the impact of the thunder tribulation, after it's over, their demonic body will definitely rise to a higher level, and their strength will naturally advance."

  Shen Gong Bao suddenly enlightened and said, "In that case, wouldn't it be that I don't need to prepare anything, and let this little brat Nian Ling Yan be struck by lightning?"

  The old immortal hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It's not entirely like that. For all things, we must prepare two hands. Let's first set up several large arrays. If Wan Yi is unable to withstand the thunder tribulation in a year, we can activate the array to protect him completely."

  "Good, this is a wonderful idea, just as Brother Dao said. I will go back and prepare a large array to prevent any unexpected events."

  Jin Guang Xiu Shou and other immortals heard this and also smiled faintly, saying: "In that case, I'll bid farewell to my friend Shen Dao for now, haha!"

  "Goodbye!" Shengong Bao bowed his head and returned the courtesy, after which Liu Er and others also bid farewell to the crowd of immortals, then accompanied Shengong Bao back to the Xian Island of Yingzhou.

  "Wow, Master, this place is so beautiful! Hehe!" Jingwei exclaimed, gazing at the misty and ethereal Xian Island of Penglai.

  Shen Gong Bao stroked Jing Wei's head, doting on him: "Jing Wei, go with Liu Er Shixiong to take a stroll around. I'll go prepare the Du Jie Zhen Fa for Ling Yan."

  "Hmm!" Jingwei nodded clearly, while Shen Gongbao left Yingzhou Xian Island again and came to that desolate solitary island to start setting up the formation.

  After surveying the surroundings, Shengong Bao began to make gestures with his hands, and a series of talismans appeared around him. The white light flashed rapidly, and soon the surrounding area was filled with rows of array symbols. Only after half a sound did Shengong Bao nod in satisfaction.

  Previously, Shen Gong Bao had laid out two arrays. One was the Gathering Spirit Array, which could quickly absorb the spiritual energy around him to help Yan Lingyan recover his magical powers. The other was the Primordial Chaos Array of Pangu, a powerful array that Pangu had passed down. Although Shen Gong Bao knew how to set it up, he wasn't entirely clear on its specific power. This time was a good opportunity to test it out. Of course, Shen Gong Bao was certain that its power far surpassed any other array he knew of. After all, what could Pangu possibly leave behind that would be ordinary?

  After everything was arranged, Shen Gong Bao returned to the Xuanzhou Immortal Island, called Yan Lingyan and others, saw that Jingwei had already become familiar with the Xuanzhou Immortal Island, and had even prepared a bamboo house for himself to cultivate. He nodded in satisfaction, then returned to the Wudao Pavilion, began to meditate and wait for the day of Yan Lingyan's tribulation.

  Half a month later, Shen Gong Bao and others all came out of Yingzhou Xian Island and arrived at that uninhabited small island.

  Shen Gong Bao glanced up at the dark clouds gathering above and said to Nian Ling Yan, "You try withstanding a few lightning strikes in your true form first. When you feel like you can't take it anymore, activate the large array according to the method I taught you. It should be fine."

  Having said that, he took out a jade gourd and handed it to Nian Lingyan, saying: "This is the spiritual medicine given to me by Di Huang, which is an excellent elixir for quickly recovering one's magical powers. You'd better take it with you, just in case."

  Nian Lingyan nodded vigorously and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I will definitely be able to do it!"

  "Go!" Shengong Bao patted Yun Lingyan, and then took Liu Er and Jingwei to a sea island hundreds of feet away from the deserted island, watching and waiting for Yun Lingyan to pass the calamity. Although everyone knew that everything was ready, they still had their hearts suspended in mid-air, worrying about Yun Lingyan without exception, including Shengong Bao himself.

  But then, Nian Lingyan bid farewell to Shen Gongbao and others, came to the small island, looked up at the top, dark clouds had already gathered, a piece of black pressure, really is a dark cloud pressing the city, the city wants to collapse.

  Feeling the increasingly powerful thunder tribulation pressure, and the increasingly urgent crisis reminder in the sea of consciousness, Yan Lingyan knew that the thunder tribulation was about to arrive, no longer hesitating. He saw Yan Lingyan look up at the sky and let out a loud roar, his voice shaking the heavens and earth, wanting to break through the sky.

  Roar! Roar! Roar!

  Nian Lingyan revealed his true form as a demon, a four or five zhang tall beast covered in flames, majestically sitting on the island like a rainbow-colored tiger. Its head was held high, facing the clouds and letting out a loud roar. The sharp horns on its head shone with a cold light, and its tail was raised high, ready to attack at any moment.

  Time passed minute by minute, and the calamity clouds above grew larger and larger, expanding from their initial size of several dozen meters to their current size of several hundred meters. The oppressive might was so strong that even Shen Gongbao and others who were far away from the isolated island could feel it clearly, let alone Yan Lingyan who was directly locked onto by the calamity.

  At this time, Yan Lingyan had already fully felt the power of his own Thunder Tribulation, and it was clear that it was not ordinary. Looking at the dark clouds above his head, which seemed to be expanding, he couldn't help but feel tense in his heart.

  Roar!

  The demon clan was a major ethnic group between heaven and earth, with a crazy factor always hidden in their blood. At this moment, however, Yan Lingyan was stimulated by the powerful pressure of Lei Jue to awaken his own beastly nature, and the increasingly urgent sense of urgency in his heart led him to make an unexpected move.

  Only then did Nian Lingyan let out a furious roar, and with a burst of wind beneath his feet, he soared into the clouds, charging straight at Jiao Wan's Horned Cloud with unstoppable force!
