"However, you must not be careless; after all, you have achieved this in one step and have not yet mastered the true meaning of immortal cultivation."

"The thunder tribulation is still somewhat dangerous for you; I will try to protect your life, and you can handle the rest yourself."

Ei nodded heavily and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, Head!"

After saying that, Ei took a step out and flew under the thunder tribulation.

Jiang Yan also opened the formation that wrapped around the entire Tongtian Peak, and together with everyone, watched Ei in the sky.

Seeing that Kujou Sara and the others were a bit nervous, Jiang Yan smiled and comforted them:

"Do not worry, Head Venti and the others all came through this; although there may be injuries, there will be no life-threatening danger."

Venti nodded in deep agreement.

"Although she has not mastered techniques and has not fully mastered the power of immortal cultivation, facing the thunder tribulation is somewhat dangerous."

"But with Ei's talent, she will not be defeated by the thunder tribulation."

"Just wait with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Kujou Sara and the others finally settled their minds.

372. Raiden Ei, crosses the tribulation and breaks into the late stage of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit!

Looking up at the thunder in the sky, as the Raiden Shogun, Ei felt fear for the first time in her life toward something like thunder.

But then, this feeling of fear was swept away.

Now she is not just the Raiden Shogun, but the Acting Head of Feng Hui Peak of Shushan.

She is a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit!

She cannot bring shame to Shushan.

It is just a thunder tribulation of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit; if she is afraid now, she should not think about breaking through in the future.

Ei steadied her mind and subconsciously wanted to take out the strongest Musou Isshin to confront the thunder tribulation.

But before she could act, she remembered that Makoto's soul was still inside Musou Isshin.

Ei was shocked, took out Musou Isshin, and handed it back to Miko's side.

Miko also understood Ei's thoughts, but...

Without Musou Isshin, relying on that naginata, she would probably not be able to block the thunder tribulation at all, and the naginata would shatter.

Miko looked at Jiang Yan, and the latter nodded slightly.

Having received Jiang Yan's permission, Miko took out one of her own magic treasure swords from her space ring.

"Ei, I'll lend it to you; remember to return it."

Accompanied by Miko's reminder, Ei subconsciously grabbed the flying sword that was flying by her hand.

As the ancient longsword entered her hand, Ei instantly sensed a surging power emanating from the sword, echoing with her own true essence.

At this moment, Ei instantly understood why cultivators all yearn for a powerful magic treasure of their own.

This sword is still just a magic tool, yet it can increase her sword strength so much.

If it were a spirit tool...

That would be incredible, wouldn't it?

Suddenly, Ei didn't really want to return this sword to Miko; anyway, she wasn't a sword cultivator, and besides, following Jiang Yan, she had countless treasures all over her body.

It's just a magic treasure; she shouldn't care that much, right?

Ei looked at Miko with a guilty conscience, and the latter was looking at her with a smile.

Miko understood this old friend very well; she couldn't possibly not eat the meat delivered to her mouth.

Their relationship was good, so Ei would definitely feel at ease keeping this magic tool.

Fortunately, Miko didn't care much about a sword either.

This sword was something she got on a whim that day.

After having fun with Jiang Yan, she felt that she was full of Jiang Yan's aura, so she hurried to the Sword Tomb.

Sure enough, as soon as she went in, a pile of flying swords rushed to surround her.

Miko picked up a sword casually.

This was the result of her experiment, but Miko didn't like using swords; she played with spells.

This sword followed her, and could only be used as a means of transportation for flying on a sword.

But Miko herself preferred riding the clouds and mist.

This sword was truly a bit wronged.

Rather than letting it continue to gather dust with her, it was better to do a favor and give it to Ei.

It just so happened to be a gift from her old friend for joining Shushan.

Ei and Miko had been friends for many years; with one look from Miko, she understood her thoughts.

Immediately, she used this sword even more smoothly.

Venti felt a bit emotional and said softly:

"It's good to have someone; when I first joined Shushan, I had no magic treasures and no spells. I had to endure the thunder tribulation myself."

"If I could have had a magic tool back then, I shouldn't have been so miserable."

Alice agreed deeply, but Zhongli didn't think much of it.

When he crossed the tribulation, he had a magic treasure that Jiang Yan helped him forge.

Counting it up, although he was miserable at the time, it wasn't too troublesome.

So...

Joining later is not necessarily all bad.

The thunder that had been brewing for a long time seemed to have finally reached its limit, and in the moment when no one reacted.

A bolt of thunder struck Ei silently.

Fortunately, Ei had been paying attention to the movement of the thunder tribulation.

She didn't know any moves, so she could only use her true essence to operate her own Dao of the Sword.

She forcefully vented her true essence onto the thunder.

The exploding, blinding white light made everyone close their eyes slightly.

When they opened their eyes again and noticed that Ei was unscathed, Kujou Sara and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that there should be no risk for Ei to cross the tribulation.

In fact, when this bolt of thunder descended, Ei had already realized that she could not resist it at all with her original Dao of the Sword.

If it weren't for the cooperation between her true essence and the magic tool, this bolt of thunder would have struck her body.

She had heard Miko say that among so many people in Shushan, no one had ever dared to try to resist the thunder tribulation head-on.

Obviously, the consequences of the Heavenly Tribulation striking the body head-on are self-evident.

Ei became more and more vigilant, staring at the thunder in the sky, and took the most serious attitude she had ever had in her life.

The thunder tribulations that followed also descended one by one.

Even with the magic tool Miko gave her, Ei was still somewhat miserable.

Especially the last few heavenly tribulations, even though Ei tried her best, she repeatedly swung the Musou no Hitotachi.

But that ability, which was once enough to split continents and islands with one slash, only barely blocked most of the power of the thunder tribulation.

After using her final true essence to disperse some more, some of the thunder tribulation still landed on her body.

That imperceptible trace of electric arc, the thunder that should have obediently jumped on her fingertips in the past.

Just a trace, and it made Ei's meridians almost collapse; for the first time, Ei felt that the body of the Raiden Shogun was so unbearable.

A trace of thunder almost completely destroyed this body.

Fortunately, with the life-saving means Jiang Yan left for her, Ei barely repaired her body.

This tribulation was dangerous, far exceeding any battle Ei had ever fought.

Fortunately, no matter what, it had already passed.

A ray of rosy light descended from an unknown place and landed on Ei.

Her true essence began to transform, becoming more powerful and more mysterious.

The essence of life also began to rise infinitely.

Along with it, the Shogun hidden deep in Ei's consciousness also underwent a transformation.

Noticing this, Ei felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
