Chapter 379: Puppet Race Thunder Tribulation, Dao Companion Advances to Integration, Rice Cooked into Porridge

At the same time.

Puppet Race headquarters.

Many Puppet Race Elders also heard the news of this battle's defeat, each with a calm expression, as if they had anticipated it long ago.

"As expected, our Puppet Race's plan this time has failed."

"A very important factor in this is that the Human Race has mastered a method to identify our Puppet Race."

"It is precisely because of this that our Puppet Race has been exposed."

"For our Puppet Race, this can be called a fatal blow."

One Puppet Race Elder said in a deep voice.

It felt that the biggest factor in the failure of this battle was that the Puppet Race was parasitizing humans, yet was discovered by the humans.

This means that many of the methods previously used by the Puppet Race have begun to fail completely.

To try and control humans from the shadows as before, I fear it will not be so simple.

"Although this plan's failure was anticipated long ago."

"But we were defeated too miserably, and too quickly."

"One can only say that the Human Race's speed of development is very fast, simply beyond imagination."

"If this continues, our three races will also have our living space compressed by the Human Race."

Another Puppet Race Elder's expression was very grave.

The reason they launched the attack on Fengxi City this time, besides wanting to eliminate one of the Human Race's cities, was also to test the current strength of the Human Race and to see exactly to what degree they had developed.

As a result, this attack completely displayed the terrifying strength of the Human Race, as well as their research into the Puppet Race.

So this plan of theirs can also be considered a miserable failure.

But it was not without gains.

At least they know that ordinary parasitic methods are no longer of much use against the Human Race.

They can be identified very easily.

"Our Puppet Race's parasitism has a total of three levels of realms."

"The first realm is Parasitic Flesh; this is just simple parasitism, like controlling one puppet after another, manipulating many flesh-and-blood creatures to serve as our soldiers. However, this kind of parasitism is at a shallow level, and others can easily detect it."

"The second realm is Soul Parasitism; this is a deeper level of parasitism, capable of residing in the depths of the enemy's soul, absorbing the enemy's soul memories, and completely hiding our Puppet Race's aura. Unless one launches an all-out attack, the Puppet Race's aura will not be exposed."

But looking at it now, this level of parasitism has already been seen through by the Human Race; the humans seem to have invented a type of talisman called a Puppet Talisman, which can detect situations where the spirit and flesh do not match, thereby detecting those parasitic bodies."

"The third realm is Spirit-Puppet Fusion, which is where our Puppet Race perfectly merges with other flesh-and-blood creatures, becoming indistinguishable from one another, completely replacing the other's soul and flesh. In this way, the spirit and flesh are unified, completely transforming into the other's identity."

"Of course, performing this level of Puppet parasitism means that we will be unable to leave this shell in the future. If this shell dies, then we will also die, so unless it is an absolute last resort, we will not use this degree of parasitism."

"However, once Spirit-Puppet Fusion is performed, even if the Human Race uses various methods, they cannot detect our Puppet Race's true form, because we have indeed transformed into humans, only unable to possess the Puppet Race's memories."

One Puppet Race Elder said in a deep voice.

Clearly, this is the Puppet Race's terrifying parasitic method.

It is also one of the main methods by which the Puppet Race was once able to become a super race in the Spirit World.

In the past, the Puppet Race often parasitized those super races and super geniuses, seizing their physiques and obtaining their cultivation and talent.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, it was also a Great Vehicle Cultivator of the Puppet Race who wanted to seize the body of the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix and replace it, which is why it angered the True Spirit Heavenly Phoenix and brought about the disaster of extinction.

"Great Elder, do we really have to perform Spirit-Puppet Fusion?"

"Once performed, our future will be fixed."

A Puppet Race Elder asked.

To tell the truth, they also do not really want to use this puppet technique on the Human Race; they only want to control humans.

After all, in the Spirit World, there are countless races, and many of those race's creatures have more talent than the Human Race.

Compared to them, the Human Race is merely a mediocre race.

If one is really going to perform Spirit-Puppet Fusion, why not look for flesh-and-blood creatures with more astonishing talent? There is absolutely no need to look for humans; this is purely cutting off their own future.

"Don't worry, it is not the case that all Elders need to do this."

"As long as a portion of the Puppet Race Elders can do this, it will be enough."

"Once we control many Human Race Integration Great Powers, then the Human Race will sooner or later be under our control."

"We can even silently control the Human Race and enslave the Human Race."

"For our Puppet Race, this is a great opportunity for development."

A Puppet Race Great Elder said in a deep voice.

"Great Elder, do we have any way to enslave the Golden Toad Race and the Tengshe Race?"

"If we could also enslave these two great races, could our Puppet Race's strength also receive an astonishing increase?"

A Puppet Race Elder set their sights on the Tengshe Race and the Golden Toad Race.

In this world, there are no eternal cooperative relationships, only eternal interests.

If they could annex these two great races, then the Puppet Race could perhaps go a step further.

"Difficult, too difficult; our Puppet Race's power is hard to apply to these two great races."

"First is the Golden Toad Race; this is a race that swallows countless virulent poisons. Their bodies themselves are places that harbor filth and dirt. If we attempt to parasitize them, I fear our parasitic bodies would also be poisoned to death alive."

"As for the Tengshe Race, they are not as terrifying as the Golden Toad Race, but the problem is that the Tengshe Race is a group of brainless fellows. They are simple-minded and spend all day only eating, satisfying their own gluttony."

"For the sake of eating, they dare to do anything and dare to offend any race. The reason they have fallen to this state also has a great deal to do with their inability to control their body's instincts."

"Previously, there were Puppet Race creatures that tried to parasitize the Tengshe, but they discovered that they could not control the Tengshe at all, and were instead controlled by the Tengshe's instincts, becoming creatures that only knew how to eat, drink, and defecate, even losing their intelligence. In the end, when they were hungry, they even ate their own kind, simply not much different from the Tengshe."

The Puppet Race Great Elder said with great helplessness.

It is not that they do not want to control the Tengshe Race and the Golden Toad Race; the problem is that these two great races are really not very afraid of the Puppet Race.

There were attempts to parasitize them before, but they all failed.

From then on, they never again had designs on these two races.

In fact, if it were not for the fact that these two races did not fear the Puppet Race, they would not have cooperated with the Puppet Race either.

After all, who would trust a race that could parasitize their own body at any time? Isn't this just seeking one's own death?

"It seems we can only deal with the Human Race."

Many Puppet Race Elders nodded.

One month later.

Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered, incomparably thick, forming a huge vortex like a Heavenly Tribulation Eye, with countless Tribulation Lightning vaguely hidden within, appearing and disappearing, releasing a destructive aura and pressure.

The entire Dao Courtyard was shrouded by the tribulation clouds, a pitch-black expanse filled with a suffocating aura.

"What is going on? Is someone in the Dao Courtyard undergoing a tribulation?"

At this moment, many teachers of the Dao Courtyard were suddenly shocked; they did not expect that someone within the Dao Courtyard was actually undergoing a tribulation.

Normally, there are specialized Cave Abodes within Fengxi City to help Cultivators undergo tribulations and cultivate.

Very few people would undergo a tribulation in the Dao Courtyard.

Some people also specifically leave Fengxi City to go to the wilderness to undergo their tribulations.

Unless it is a big figure within the Dao Courtyard, they would not choose to undergo a tribulation inside the Dao Courtyard.

"This is a Refining Void Thunder Tribulation; if I am not mistaken, it should be Academy Dean Bai who is undergoing the tribulation."

A teacher said decisively.

After all, this is a Refining Void Thunder Tribulation, and she recognized it at once.

Yet, within the entire Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard, only Bai Sujie has reached Spirit Transformation Completion.

Other teachers are at most at the Nascent Soul Realm, or perhaps early or middle Spirit Severing.

Only Bai Sujie has the opportunity to trigger a Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

"That's right, the center of the Heavenly Tribulation is exactly in the manor where the Academy Dean resides."

"It seems Teacher Zhou is nearby helping to guard the dharma."

"It seems it really is the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation triggered by Academy Dean Bai; she intends to ascend to the Refining Void Realm."

Many teachers were dumbfounded and incredulous.

To tell the truth, the number of Refining Void Cultivators in the entire Fengxi City is still relatively small.

They are basically figures at the Ancestor level of various great families, existing like pillars of support.

In ordinary times, they are even more elusive.

Every Refining Void Cultivator is an extraordinary big figure.

Although triggering a Refining Void Thunder Tribulation is not considered rare, it is not something that can be seen at any time.

If there is no absolute certainty, few Spirit Severing Cultivators would be willing to actively seek death.

After all, once one fails to pass, one will die under the Thunder Tribulation, with body and soul extinguished.

No one would treat their own life as a joke.

"No way, I heard Academy Dean Bai say before that she would need to prepare for at least several hundred, or even a thousand years, before attempting to trigger the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation; why would she trigger it so quickly now?"

"Academy Dean Bai is not a fool; without absolute certainty, she naturally wouldn't trigger the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation. I'm afraid Academy Dean Bai feels she will definitely succeed, which is why she is doing this."

"If Academy Dean Bai can successfully ascend to Refining Void, then our Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard will likely have a Refining Void Realm Academy Dean, and by then, the status of our Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard will be pivotal."

"I hope Academy Dean Bai can successfully pass the Thunder Tribulation."

Many Dao Courtyard teachers discussed it heatedly.

Their interests are inherently one with Bai Sujie's; if Bai Sujie can become a Refining Void Realm Cultivator, then for the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard and for them, they will definitely obtain huge benefits.

First of all, the annual funding that the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard can obtain will be several times more than before.

By then, everyone's salary will increase, and all kinds of benefits will follow one after another.

On the other hand, in the Fengxi City Lord Mansion.

Fengxi Daoren, along with Tao Qili, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and others, are handling the government affairs of Fengxi City.

Even though a month has passed since the siege by the three races.

There is still a lot of follow-up work to be handled.

For example, those damaged buildings, the pensions for the deceased Human Cultivators, and so on.

In short, there are still many complicated matters.

Even after a month, they have still not been completely dealt with.

"Hmm, Sujie seems to be undergoing the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation."

Fengxi Daoren's pair of phoenix eyes looked into the distance, seemingly sensing something, and revealed a faint smile.

"What? How could she undergo the tribulation so quickly?"

"Is this girl crazy? Although she is already a Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivator."

"But she contains the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox bloodline in her body, and the Thunder Tribulation itself is several times stronger than that of Cultivators of the same rank."

"If there is no absolute certainty and full preparation, how can she undergo the tribulation?"

"What is she trying to do?"

Hearing this, Tao Qili's expression changed; she never expected such a thing to happen.

Clearly, according to normal circumstances, Bai Sujie should not have been fully prepared yet; how could she suddenly choose to trigger the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation? It is simply too reckless.

"Don't worry."

"Sister Sujie is indeed reckless in her daily life, but she is no fool."

"She knows very well what things should be done and what things should not be done."

"I just performed a divination, and Sister Sujie's tribulation this time is a sign of great auspiciousness."

"I fear this tribulation will also be a case of 'alarm but no danger'; there is no need to worry about anything."

Hua Siqing smiled slightly; she cast a spell and seemed to divine the prospects of Bai Sujie's tribulation, discovering that Bai Sujie's success seemed to be a sure thing.

If it had been any of her previous tribulations, it would have been a matter of nine deaths and one life.

She felt very surprised, not knowing what kind of fortuitous encounter Bai Sujie had obtained, and why the hexagram had changed so drastically all of a sudden; it was truly inconceivable.

"A sign of great auspiciousness? Could it be that Sujie is truly fully prepared and has found a means to survive the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation?"

Tao Qili immediately calmed down.

She knew Hua Siqing's abilities very well; she was a master of divination, especially skilled in the Dao of calculation.

It could be said that the several crises in Fengxi City before were all calculated by her, allowing for the precognition of danger.

Since Hua Siqing said this was a sign of great auspiciousness, it must be true.

However, she was also very curious about what exactly Bai Sujie had done, and why this tribulation was a sure thing.

"Perhaps she obtained a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill."

"Isn't it said that Sujie recently found a Dao Companion?"

"As far as I know, the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox possesses many strange abilities, such as seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and sensing good and evil."

"But she has one other most important ability, and that is finding a husband who possesses great Luck."

"Once chosen by a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, that person will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future."

"Therefore, there is a rumor in the Spirit World that whoever can become an emperor must be the husband of a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox."

Fengxi Daoren's pair of beautiful eyes revealed a trace of golden light, with infinite information flowing deep within her pupils.

"The City Lord means that Sujie's ability to successfully pass the tribulation this time relies on the help of her husband."

Tao Qili's beautiful eyes flickered uncertainly.

Deep in her mind, the figure of that dog of a man could not help but emerge.

It must be said that this mysterious man indeed has extraordinary means; even though he is only a Transformation God Cultivator, he is actually able to easily kill a Refining Void Realm Cultivator, which is truly inconceivable.

If it is this man, it is not impossible for him to help Bai Sujie successfully pass the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

After all, this man is simply too mysterious and unfathomable.

She also does not know what the background of this man is.

"That is correct."

Fengxi Daoren said decisively.

She knew Bai Sujie's abilities very well; she is a pampered young lady and also a true princess.

Even if she is an unfavored princess, she is still countless times better off than an ordinary person.

From the moment she was born, she lived in luxury and was served by countless people.

For such a pampered young lady to want to obtain a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill by her own ability is harder than ascending to the Immortal World.

Of course, if finding a man is considered an ability, this little girl is indeed gifted.

"If that is the case, this little girl can be considered invincible."

"Her birth is so remarkable, and her ability to find a man is also so remarkable."

Hua Siqing said with great emotion.

She was also completely convinced.

One can only say that she is worthy of being a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox bloodline; she is indeed a person protected by the Heavenly Dao, with boundless Luck.

"If so, does Feng Xi intend to meet with him?"

Tao Qili asked curiously.

"No need, now is not the time."

"I also suffered some damage in the previous battle, so I still need to go into seclusion for a period of time."

"After Sujie successfully passes the tribulation, you prepare a generous gift for me to send to Sujie."

Fengxi Daoren waved her hand.

She was not in a hurry at all.

Anyway, as long as one is in Fengxi City, no matter when, they can meet.

Even if the other party might be a person of great Luck, so what?

The most important thing in cultivation is to rely on oneself; others cannot bring much help to oneself.

"Yes, City Lord."

Hua Siqing and the others nodded.

…………

At this very moment, in the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.

Whoosh!

A graceful figure instantly flew out from the manor and flew directly into mid-air.

This person was none other than Bai Sujie.

After she took the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, she easily caused her primordial spirit to undergo a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change, successfully allowing her primordial spirit to step into the Pure Yang realm.

At this moment, her primordial spirit was as scorching as the sun, like a brilliant sun, extremely hot.

Even if her primordial spirit left her body and was in the Void, she would not fear the wind, rain, thunder, or lightning of the outside world.

The Dharma Power in her body had increased geometrically.

Even when facing the impending Refining Void Thunder Tribulation, she was now full of confidence.

Rumble~~

The next second, streaks of purple lightning fell from the sky, as thick as water barrels, with terrifying destructive power and a ruinous aura.

Bai Sujie gently waved her small hand, taking out her Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Ice God Ring, which erupted with a silver light that collided with the lightning, instantly unleashing terrifying destructive power.

A destructive ripple swept in all directions, shaking the Forbidden Array of the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard incessantly.

It seemed as if the earth itself had developed cracks.

It was enough to make any Cultivator feel palpitations, not daring to confront it head-on.

"Is this the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation of the Spirit World?"

"It is truly extraordinary."

In the distance, Zhou Sui saw this scene, his pupils constricting, and he was also astonished.

Clearly, this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation was countless times more terrifying than the thunder tribulations of the Immortal Cultivation World in the past.

Even the Divine Firmament Lightning Tribulation he had experienced before could not compare to it.

No wonder the Spirit World gave birth to so many Transformation God Cultivators, yet those who could truly ascend to the Refining Void Realm were one in ten thousand.

If faced with such a thunder tribulation, ordinary Cultivators would likely have no chance of survival.

Unless they prepared enough Treasures to resist the thunder tribulation, they would inevitably perish.

Therefore, it is very normal for many Transformation God Cultivators to prepare for one or two thousand years.

After all, once they fail to resist it, their lives are completely finished.

Who would dare not to take it seriously?

Even in the Refining Void Realm, breaking through to the Refining Void Mid Stage or Refining Void Late Stage requires experiencing thunder tribulations as well.

Moreover, the power of the thunder tribulation becomes greater and greater.

Many Refining Void Cultivators would rather exhaust their Longevity than dare to attempt to trigger the thunder tribulation.

"Kill!"

At this very moment, Bai Sujie's expression was solemn as she held the Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Ice God Ring; this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation consisted of eighty-one strikes in total, each one more powerful than the last, with the intensity constantly increasing.

What had just happened was merely the beginning; the further it went, the more terrifying the power would become.

If she did not focus entirely, her attempt to overcome the tribulation would surely fail.

She poured her Dharma Power into this Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, instantly raising its power to the extreme, and it erupted with streaks of white Cold Glow that collided with the Tribulation Lightning.

Each collision unleashed terrifying destructive power, causing the entire Dao Academy to shake and hum incessantly.

The earth also developed many cracks, resembling a spider web.

"How can the power of the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation be so great?"

Bai Sujie's expression changed.

If it were a normal Refining Void Thunder Tribulation, perhaps she could have passed it easily.

But clearly, because of her status as a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, her Refining Void Thunder Tribulation was several times stronger than that of peers at the same level, with each purple Tribulation Lightning being several times larger than others.

Just the first few strikes of the Tribulation Lightning had already caused her blood to churn and her body to suffer slight injuries.

If this continued, she feared she would not be able to withstand the remaining thunder strikes.

"Do not worry, just continue to overcome the tribulation."

"I will help you weaken your Refining Void Thunder Tribulation."

Just at this moment, a voice instantly sank into the depths of her consciousness.

"It is Zhou-lang."

Bai Sujie was instantly overjoyed; she knew the person speaking was her husband, Zhou Sui.

Hearing Zhou Sui's words, she felt much more at ease, believing that with this man by her side, this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation would surely be passed easily without any problems.

At this moment, she felt a surge of strong courage welling up in her heart.

Rumble~~

As soon as the voice fell, several more purple Refining Void Tribulation Lightning struck down, falling from the sky, flashing with terrifying Tribulation Lightning Rune, presenting explosive destructive power.

"No way, the Refining Void Realm Tribulation Lightning has really been weakened."

At this moment, Bai Sujie was pleasantly surprised.

Because she discovered that compared to before, her Refining Void Thunder Tribulation had been weakened by several times over.

It was even weaker than the thunder tribulations passed by ordinary Refining Void Cultivators.

Although she did not know how Zhou-lang had managed it, the occurrence of such a thing was clearly a good thing for her.

At this very moment, under Zhou Sui's control, the Tribulation Thunder Gu flew instantly into the black tribulation clouds above the sky, continuously devouring the Tribulation Lightning Power from the depths of the clouds.

This also caused the Tribulation Lightning power of these tribulation clouds to be continuously weakened.

By the time it fell upon Bai Sujie, there was not much power left in such Tribulation Lightning.

For the Tribulation Thunder Gu, these Refining Void Realm Tribulation Lightning were simply a great tonic.

The massive Tribulation Lightning energy poured into its body like a tidal wave.

The aura on its body also showed a geometric increase, and its cultivation also gained tremendous growth.

Clearly, for the Tribulation Thunder Gu, this was undoubtedly a huge opportunity to improve its cultivation.

Three days later.

Evidently, this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation lasted for three full days and nights.

One after another, Refining Void Tribulation Lightning struck down, the thunder shaking the heavens and roaring loudly.

The Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard could not hold classes either, so they had to temporarily suspend classes and let the students have a few days off.

Under Zhou Sui's secret assistance, the Refining Void Tribulation Lightning was continuously weakened, making it very easy for Bai Sujie to overcome the tribulation, and she no longer feared the Tribulation Lightning in the sky.

In just three days and three nights, the energy of the tribulation clouds above the sky suddenly vanished.

Boom~~

Clusters of thick tribulation clouds dissipated in an instant, and the sky returned to its usual clarity.

The surrounding air was fresh, truly refreshing to the heart and spirit.

It seemed that even a slight sniff of the surrounding aura could cause one's Dharma Power to grow rapidly, providing great benefits.

"It's done."

At this very moment, Bai Sujie also flew down from mid-air; seeing the tribulation clouds dissipate, she knew that her tribulation crossing this time had finally succeeded, and she had finally become a Refining Void Realm Cultivator.

Compared to before, her strength had undergone a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change.

It had increased by more than tenfold.

She looked joyfully at Zhou Sui, who was standing to the side guarding her.

Because she knew that if it weren't for this man, her tribulation crossing this time would not have been so easy.

To be honest, this was the first time she had felt that the Tribulation Lightning was not scary at all; it was truly inconceivable.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked, seeing that Bai Sujie, who had advanced to the Refining Void Realm Early-Stage, had a face that was clearly more mature than before, and between her brows, she was even more charming and moving.

Her body was also more mature, and her curves seemed even more astonishing.

A pair of fair and delicate feet stepped lightly in mid-air, exceptionally enchanting.

Her golden, fluffy tail swayed gently.

It was as if she had transformed from a young girl into a mature woman.

Every smile and every movement seemed like that of a fox demon capable of bewitching the world.

More importantly, due to the experience of the Tribulation Lightning, her clothes were tattered, leaving only a few strips of cloth on her body, which could not cover that graceful, beautiful sight at all.

It was simply enough to make one blush and drool.

Whoosh!

The next second, Bai Sujie flashed and excitedly threw herself into Zhou Sui's arms, her slender, fair hands wrapping around Zhou Sui's neck, hanging on him like a koala.

"Bai Sujie, you are playing with fire."

Zhou Sui looked at Bai Sujie, feeling the Dragon Elephant Bloodline within his body throbbing; it seemed that the aura of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox on Bai Sujie was becoming increasingly rich, merging with the aura inside his own body.

It was as if Taiyin Qi and Taiyang Qi were merging with each other, yin and yang becoming one.

The blood and Qi in his body also began to boil like magma.

This was an instinct from his bloodline, impossible to control.

"Is that so? Why can't I feel your fire?"

Bai Sujie giggled, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

She looked at Zhou Sui with a pair of beautiful eyes in provocation; clearly, she was being a bit reckless.

In fact, she was indeed like this, seemingly unable to control the impulses of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox bloodline.

Now she was almost like an animal, driven purely by instinct.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Zhou Sui picked up Bai Sujie and entered the bedroom of the manor.

The entire manor was instantly shrouded and covered by an Array Formation, forming a barrier array.

Without Zhou Sui's permission, no one could enter.

After all, this was now the sweet time belonging to the two of them, and no one could interfere.

…………

At this very moment, the many teachers of the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard naturally sensed the dissipation of the tribulation clouds in the sky, and they immediately knew that this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation had completely ended.

Every one of them showed an expression of wild joy on their faces.

Because they sensed that the aura on Bai Sujie had not disappeared, but had instead become even stronger.

Clearly, Bai Sujie had already advanced to the Refining Void Realm and successfully passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

"Haha, success! Academy Dean Bai has finally succeeded! She has passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation and from now on is a Refining Void Realm Cultivator. Our Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard will also welcome a Refining Void Realm Academy Dean; this is truly wonderful."

A teacher laughed loudly, wild with joy, feeling incomparable happiness.

She could not even describe how excited she was feeling at this very moment.

For the past three days, she had been on tenterhooks, fearing that Academy Dean Bai would fail the tribulation and die.

After all, there were far too many Transformation God Cultivators who had died under the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

No one dared to be certain that they would be the one to pass.

Now that they saw Bai Sujie had truly succeeded in crossing the tribulation and become a Refining Void Cultivator, they could finally set their hearts at ease.

"The Refining Void Thunder Tribulation is truly too terrifying."

"Even though we were not the ones crossing the tribulation, just watching from the side made our hearts tremble with fear."

"Isn't that so? It struck for a full three days and three nights; who knows how many bolts of Tribulation Lightning descended? Even if a single bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck me, I fear it would strike me dead on the spot, turning me into ashes."

"No wonder there are so many Transformation God Cultivators, but those who can truly pass are one in ten thousand. Now I finally understand why; with such terrifying Tribulation Lightning, who could pass?"

"Before, I thought Academy Dean Bai would also die under the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation. Now that I have finally seen Academy Dean Bai pass the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation, it is truly great."

The many Dao Courtyard teachers were filled with emotion.

During these three days, they basically had not rested well, constantly paying attention to the situation of this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

After all, the success or failure of this Refining Void Thunder Tribulation had a great deal to do with the future of the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.

If she failed, the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard would plummet from that day on.

But if she succeeded, the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard would soar into the sky.

Clearly, their future will indeed soar to the skies, and they will receive a large amount of funding from the government.

"Since the Academy Dean has successfully promoted to Refining Void, why don't we go over to offer our congratulations, so as to avoid the Dean saying we don't know our manners?" a teacher suggested, wanting to go congratulate Bai Sujie on her promotion to Refining Void.

"As for that, let's not go for the time being."

"The manor where Dean Bai is located has already been shrouded by an Array Formation and completely closed off."

"Clearly, Dean Bai does not want us to go over and disturb her for now."

"Actually, this is also very normal. After all, having just finished the Thunder Tribulation, her body may have suffered heavy damage from the Tribulation Lightning. Dean Bai wants to heal the injuries on her body at the first opportunity; how could she have time to receive us?"

"That is correct. Since Dean Bai needs to go into seclusion to heal her injuries, let's not go over to disturb her. Let's wait until the Dean truly comes out of seclusion before we go over to congratulate her."

"That is indeed the case."

Many Dao Academy teachers nodded in unison.

They also understood Bai Sujie's current situation very well. After all, having encountered such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation, how could her body not have suffered injuries? She must be in seclusion, cultivating to heal her wounds.

Many Cultivators who have just promoted to Refining Void are also like this; presumably, Dean Bai is the same.

Little did they know, the famous Dean Bai is currently contemplating the Yin-Yang Great Dao together with her Dao Companion.

Naturally, she does not want to be disturbed by outsiders.

……

Fengxi City Lord Mansion.

Tao Qili, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and others were handling official business. They also sensed the news that the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation had stopped at the first opportunity, and they could not help but reveal a trace of a smile on their faces.

"Sure enough, Sujie has indeed successfully passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation and promoted to Refining Void."

Tao Qili was overjoyed.

She sensed that the aura of the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation in the distance had completely vanished; clearly, Bai Sujie had passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

To tell the truth, even though she had been adamant before, believing that this tribulation would be without danger.

But this was not a one-hundred-percent certain thing.

The future divined might not necessarily come to pass.

There could also be variables.

Only after the facts emerge can it be completely determined, and there will never be any changes again.

Now that she sensed Bai Sujie had finally passed the Thunder Tribulation and successfully promoted to Refining Void, she felt relieved.

"I said it long ago, this time Sister Sujie had an omen of great auspiciousness, and there wouldn't be any problems. You were still worrying before; that really shouldn't have happened."

Hua Siqing giggled, a joyful smile appearing on her face.

"Hehe, I don't know who it was that said they were so worried they couldn't sleep all day."

"Don't you usually like to sleep in?"

"How come I haven't seen you sleeping these past few days?"

Tao Qili looked at this hypocritical woman with annoyance; she was clearly more worried than anyone else, yet she pretended to be indifferent and completely unconcerned.

"Can't I be unable to sleep? I am a Refining Void Cultivator; what's wrong with not sleeping for a few days? Even not sleeping for a year would be no problem." Hua Siqing's mouth remained stubborn; she was determined not to admit that she had been very worried.

"Since Sister Sujie has successfully promoted to Refining Void, why don't we go over and offer our congratulations?"

Shi Yuxi put forward her suggestion.

"No rush. Sister Sujie has just promoted to Refining Void, and her body is injured; she still needs a period of quiet recuperation to consolidate her cultivation in the Refining Void Realm." Tao Qili waved her hand; she was not that reckless.

She remembered that when she herself passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation in the past, she was also struck by the Thunder Tribulation for three days and three nights, almost exhausted of all strength. How could she have had the mood to receive other guests? She had wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate and recover from her injuries and consolidate her cultivation at the first opportunity.

"That is also right. Having just successfully passed the tribulation, she indeed needs a period of time to cultivate."

"It seems I also need to prepare a gift to send to Sister Sujie."

Shi Yuxi nodded.

She also felt that she seemed to have been a little reckless, almost forgetting the difficulty of a Transformation God Cultivator passing the tribulation.

Being able to pass it is already very remarkable.

Wanting to pass the Thunder Tribulation without a single hair damaged is simply an impossible thing.

…………

At the same time, throughout the entire Fengxi City, many Refining Void Families also learned of this matter at the first opportunity.

"I didn't expect that Bai Daoyou would also successfully promote to Refining Void."

"Although she is the daughter of the Human Emperor, it is said that she is an unfavored daughter and was not given much cultivation resources at all."

"But even so, she was actually still able to successfully pass the tribulation and promote to Refining Void."

"This is the Human Emperor's bloodline; it is simply terrifying."

A Refining Void Realm Ancestor sighed.

He remembered how much of a price he had paid and how many resources he had used in the past to promote to Refining Void.

Only then did he barely promote to the Refining Void Initial Stage.

But now, that Human Emperor's daughter, Bai Sujie, is only about two thousand years old, yet she has successfully promoted to Refining Void. The speed of her cultivation is simply breathtaking.

Compared to her, his own old age might as well have been lived in vain.

People really cannot be compared; the gap is too far.

"Although she is an unfavored daughter, she has a powerful background."

"The City Lord, as well as the Scripture Pavilion Master, the Minister of Revenue, the Dark Department Head, and so on, are all her elders."

"On the surface, it seems they didn't give any help."

"But just this kind of background is enough for her to walk sideways in Fengxi City."

"Who knows if these elders gave her any benefits."

"I imagine they certainly did; otherwise, how could she have promoted to Refining Void?"

Another Refining Void Realm Ancestor said with disdain.

To think this Human Emperor's daughter still claims her entire cultivation base comes from her own hard work.

In the end, isn't it still relying on the support of her elders?

Even if the Human Emperor didn't support her, having a bunch of elders by her side is still an astonishing resource.

Which commoner could ever compare to that?

But there is no helping it, and it is not something one can envy; who told her to be good at being born.

Her talent in this aspect is maxed out.

"Regardless, Bai Daoyou is already a Refining Void Cultivator, a figure of the same level as us."

"Even if she weren't the Human Emperor's daughter, just having such a cultivation base makes her a pivotal big shot in Fengxi City."

"That being said, we must remind our descendants; they cannot continue to harass Bai Daoyou."

"That is indeed the case. If Bai Daoyou were still a Transformation God Cultivator, our descendants could still actively pursue her, but now that she is a Refining Void Cultivator, the status is no longer equal. To continue pursuing her would likely be like a toad lusting after a swan."

"It is said that Bai Daoyou has long had a Dao Companion, and the other party seems to be an Ascender, also a teacher at the Dao Academy, only five or six hundred years old, and still a Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage Cultivator."

"Tsk tsk, Bai Daoyou is robbing the cradle; she actually found a young man of five or six hundred years. No wonder she doesn't look down on our descendants; it turns out she likes them young."

"But this kid's luck is just too good, to actually be favored by Bai Daoyou. He has simply flown up to the branch to become a phoenix; in the future, he will likely be the Human Emperor's son-in-law, a Prince Consort."

"Becoming a Prince Consort may not necessarily be a good thing; the royal rules are numerous, and it is not so easy to endure."

The many Refining Void Old Ancestors discussed it one after another.

They also knew that from now on, they could no longer let their own descendants harass Bai Sujie.

Because they were no longer figures on the same level.

Among the many Transformation God Cultivators, there are very few who can truly become Refining Void in the end.

If they still dared to rashly pursue or harass a Refining Void Cultivator, they would likely be beaten to death without any punishment.

Of course, if a Refining Void pursues a Transformation God, that is different; they can do it, but you cannot.

This is the power of the strong; the weak do not have much power.

One can only be cautious in speech and action.

"However, this Bai Daoyou has astonishing talent, having promoted to Transformation God at only two thousand years old, and she has the status of a princess; in the future, she might have a chance to vie for the position of Human Emperor."

"That is too exaggerated, isn't it? She is a woman; how can she vie for the position of Human Emperor?"

"That's right, and furthermore, the Human Emperor has many children, and there are quite a few princes with astonishing talent."

"Foolish, we cultivators naturally respect the strong. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, whoever has the higher cultivation base is the Human Emperor; strength is the only true hard truth."

"That is looking too far ahead. Right now, Bai Daoyou is only a Refining Void Cultivator; she is still an unknown distance away from the Great Vehicle Realm. Let's see if Bai Daoyou has the chance to promote to Integration first. Only by becoming an Integration Great Power is one qualified to talk about going further."

"That's right, that's right. We should prepare some gifts as a congratulatory offering for Bai Daoyou's promotion to Refining Void; we cannot lose our manners."

The many Refining Void Old Ancestors' eyes flickered, and they chuckled, seeming full of hidden meaning.
