 n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

White Painting was quite familiar with this scene; she had received the assistance of Master Zhang Dao Xuan’s disciple and had awakened a trace of her Jiao Dragon Bloodline, which was why she dared to withstand the first Heavenly Tribulation without flinching.

Even so, she didn’t dare to fly directly into the sky to face this Thunder Tribulation.

Yet Long Ao’s Spiritual Pet, Xian Yu, seemed to rush effortlessly towards the Heavenly Tribulation, truly befitting the descendant of a divine beast.

The first bolt of Tribulation Thunder struck Zhi Ling directly, causing her body to retreat a distance backwards, but she successfully blocked the impact of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Her delicate body appeared as if it were an impregnable wall, withstanding the first bolt of Tribulation Thunder with her flesh alone.

This scene caused the eyelids of the Demon Tribe below to tremble continuously; this was too strong. Even though the bodies of the Demon Tribe were exceptionally powerful, they would never dare to endure Thunder Tribulation with their flesh during their own Tribulation.

Soon, the first bolt of Tribulation Thunder dissipated under Zhi Ling’s resistance, and there were not even any marks from the Thunder and Lightning on her feathers, let alone any damage.

All the Demon Tribe members present couldn’t hide their amazement. Was the Vermilion Bird’s descendant really that formidable, considering the Heavenly Tribulation as nothing?

Zhi Ling’s body underwent a baptism from the first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, and her entire being seemed to undergo a transformation, simultaneously providing her Lightning Bloodline with ample Thunder and Lightning energy.

Suddenly, the second bolt of Thunder and Lightning came crashing down, and Zhi Ling continued to resist with her flesh. This time, she was forced back even further than before; however, she still stood her ground until the end when she finally brought forth flames and used her Spiritual Power to defend.

When the second bolt of Thunder and Lightning had passed, the Demon Tribe noticed some marks where the Thunder and Lightning had struck Zhi Ling’s feathers, but her body was likewise unharmed.

All the Demon Tribe couldn’t believe their eyes, enduring two bolts of the Transformation Tribulation with mere flesh, completely beyond their comprehension. The Transformation Tribulation consisted of five bolts in total. Now, having withstood two bolts of the Tribulation Thunder, she had only used her Spiritual Power to defend at the very end of the second bolt, which was incredibly powerful.

Even the five Demon Ancestors, who had reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, couldn’t help but narrow their eyes. They had never dared to act so recklessly during their own Transformation Tribulations.

Seeing Zhi Ling unharmed, they couldn’t help but sigh; truly, no amount of cultivation could compare with being born into a good lineage. Being born to descendants of the Immortal Realm made the cultivation path almost entirely free of obstacles.

Zhi Ling used her Spiritual Power to withstand the third and fourth bolts of Tribulation Thunder. However, the fourth bolt of Thunder and Lightning broke through her Spiritual Power defense and inflicted some damage upon her body.

At the final, fifth bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, Zhi Ling took quite a while before it finally descended, the Thunder and Lightning becoming as thick as buckets, causing the onlooking Demon Tribe to change color and quickly retreat to a safer distance.

The intensity of any Thunder Tribulation varied based on the strength of the subject undergoing it, rather than having fixed power. The stronger the individual, the more formidable the tribulation they would face.

Zhi Ling also sensed the dangerous aura and utilized the Spiritual Artifact given by her master for defense, while mobilizing all her Spiritual Power, including the Lightning Bloodline within her.

When the last bolt of Tribulation Thunder struck, it was as if doomsday had arrived, shattering the Spiritual Artifact that was defending Zhi Ling, then the Thunder and Lightning hit her own Defensive Shield.

Throughout the earlier bolts of Tribulation Thunder, Zhi Ling had been withstanding it overhead, but this most powerful bolt had such a terrifying force that she couldn’t resist it and was instantly struck down onto the tower.

The Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a while, surrounding the tower with Thunder and Lightning, preventing anyone from approaching.

Lin Yi, through his Eye of Emptiness, watched Zhi Ling and, seeing that she was not in danger, observed calmly.

Zhi Ling, the Spirit Beast who had been with him the longest, had undergone more Bloodline awakenings than any other Spirit Beast. Enduring the Transformation Tribulation wouldn’t be too difficult for her.

As the Tribulation Thunder continued, all the Demon Tribe naturally realized Zhi Ling was still resisting. She couldn’t have been killed instantly because the Heavenly Tribulation would disappear rather than continue to rain down upon a corpse.

As time went on, the fifth bolt of Heavenly Tribulation gradually faded away, and the dark clouds overhead erupted into a brilliant radiance, seemingly concentrating on Zhi Ling. After a while, the skies cleared up, returning to a vast expanse of blue.

At the moment of successful tribulation, Lin Yi’s vision also flashed with a pop-up, indicating that his Spiritual Pet Zhi Ling had passed the Transformation Tribulation and could construct a virtual human form.

He didn’t hurry to construct it but instead turned to look at Zhi Ling, feeling its body constantly changing. The Tribulation Thunder that had entered its body transformed into mysterious Wood Element energy, healing the injuries and altering the body.

Under the effect of the virtual identity, this transformation also took place on the appearance of the Vermilion Bird descendant, as its pale red feathers gradually became richer in color.

“Congratulations, Long Dao You, your Spiritual Pet has successfully crossed the tribulation, which is much easier than the Demon Tribe’s crossing in our world,” one said.

“Congratulations, Long Dao You, now you will have another helper,” another commented.

“Long Dao You’s Spiritual Pet has succeeded in transforming; this trial has indeed borne fruit,” added a third.

The five Monster Ancestors all offered their congratulations. Even the Monster Ancestor from the Fox Clan, who didn’t get along with Lin Yi, faked congeniality with perfunctory well-wishes.

“Thank you, seniors. Xian Yu has just succeeded in crossing the tribulation, and I am taking it back to my Cave Mansion,” Lin Yi said, cupping his hands in a bow, before heading to the tower top and taking Zhi Ling to his Cave Mansion.

During the fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation, Zhi Ling’s body had inevitably sustained some damage, but compared to the immobile state of White Painting initially, the damage was much lighter, and it could even fly by itself.

Watching the Spiritual Pet following behind Lin Yi while fluttering about, all the members of the Demon Tribe around them stared in disbelief. After their tribulations, some couldn’t even move, but this descendant of the Vermilion Bird could still fly, which defied all reason.

Back in the Cave Mansion, Lin Yi restored Zhi Ling to its original form, the purple Lightning Mink, which also kept changing. The color of its body grew deeper, and the mark on its forehead darkened similarly.

He patted Zhi Ling’s head and said with a smile, “Zhi Ling, you rest up slowly and get ready to transform into a human form. Whatever you conceive in your mind, you can become that appearance.”

“Master, Zhi Ling wants to transform into your likeness,” Zhi Ling said, eyes rolling, without hesitation.

Lin Yi chuckled knowingly, aware the little guy had mischief in mind, “As you wish, I won’t stop you. White Painting is my sister, so you can be my god-granddaughter. From now on, call White Painting ‘auntie’ and me ‘grandpa.'”

Zhi Ling, the entire mink, felt awkward. “Master, let me think about that.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle and waved his hand, “Just joking with you. Whatever form you feel comfortable with, you can transform into it. That’s your true form. And when it comes to the other form of the Vermilion Bird descendant, we can slowly create that once you’ve recovered.”

“Okay, I want the human form of that bird to be imposing, like master’s imposing manner,” Zhi Ling suddenly said with excitement.

“No problem, get a good rest,” Lin Yi nodded. After all, it was a virtual identity, and with the power of the Vermilion Bird descendant, it wasn’t likely to project the image of a frail little girl.

Although Zhi Ling did not suffer much damage during the tribulation, its body would undergo a transformation by the Thunder and Lightning afterward, becoming suitable for real transformation and concurrently enhancing its Bloodline abilities.

Lin Yi stayed by her side in the Cave Mansion throughout. Zhi Ling had been with him since the Qi Refinement stage, and he felt it was worth the time spent.

The Lightning Mink that had been trapped in a cage with no Bloodline, growing into a Transforming Spirit Beast, had truly come a long way.

He was quite looking forward to Zhi Ling’s appearance after the transformation. White Painting had turned into a female version of himself; maybe Zhi Ling would become a girl version of himself. Then he really would have both a sister and a daughter.

As time passed, Zhi Ling continued to absorb the energy of Thunder and Lightning, changing her body, while also imagining her human form in her heart. Remembering what her master had said, she felt a bit troubled.

As she pondered, a spark of inspiration appeared on her face, revealing a sly smile.
