Chapter 444: Advancing to the Combined Body Mid-Stage, Yin-Yang Two-Colored Thunder Tribulation

A night passed.

Dragons overturned and phoenixes reversed, heat waves rolling.

In short, the Cave Abode experienced a fierce battle, which finally ceased in the morning.

It must be said that Fengxi Daoren's passion was truly astonishing, fervent and uninhibited, as if melting everything away.

If Zhou Sui did not possess the Dragon Elephant Dao Body, he might not have been able to hold out.

However, the benefits gained were also quite astonishing.

"I am already at the perfection of the He Ti Initial Stage."

"I will soon be able to trigger the Integration Thunder Tribulation and advance to the Combined Body Mid-Stage."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui felt the vast Integration Dharma Power within his body; after obtaining the immense True Phoenix Qi and Pure Yin Qi from Fengxi Daoren, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

It was even more ferocious than consuming many Seven-Tier Treasure Pills, saving at least a thousand years of bitter cultivation.

His cultivation also instantly rose to the perfection of the He Ti Initial Stage.

The Integration Dharma Power within his body surged like ocean waves, ready to break through the bottleneck of the He Ti Initial Stage at any moment.

This energy had not even been fully digested yet.

Once he advanced to the Combined Body Mid-Stage, the Dharma Power within his body would likely increase by another large margin.

"Husband."

At this time, Fengxi Daoren curled up in Zhou Sui's embrace, her pretty face slightly flushed, her eyes watery; she was not as overbearing as she had been last night.

Once her courage was spent, she was incredibly shy, wishing she could bury herself in Zhou Sui like an ostrich.

She did not know why she had suddenly had so much courage last night.

Perhaps it was the instigation of her sisters, or perhaps the stimulation of her Heart Demon.

But regardless, she had indeed taken this step, and she did not have the slightest regret.

She even felt that she had made this decision too late.

If she had made this decision earlier, perhaps she could have been even more comfortable and relaxed.

"Was it Qili and the others who instigated you?"

Zhou Sui hugged Fengxi Daoren, feeling the woman's broad-mindedness, and was instantly filled with satisfaction.

In the past, this was the Fengxi City Lord, a dignified Integration Great Power, high and unreachable, noble beyond words, but now she was casually bullied by him and had become his Dao Companion.

"It was indeed them who instigated me, but it was also my own will."

Fengxi Daoren gently lifted her head, her pretty face as red as an apple; it seemed that saying these words had exhausted all the courage in her body, and she had never felt in her life that speaking required such great courage.

"Alright, regardless, the matter is settled, so from now on you are my Dao Companion."

"Starting today, you will live with us."

Zhou Sui said very seriously.

"Mm."

Hearing this, Fengxi Daoren nodded gently, her heart filled with waves of warmth; it was just as her sisters had said, as long as one bravely takes this step, the world opens up, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

To tell the truth, she had always been a barrier for others, shielding countless Cultivators from the wind and rain, and her heart had long been riddled with holes; she also hoped that she would have the same kind of reliance.

The problem was that she was simply too powerful, with astonishing talent and profound cultivation; who else was qualified to be her reliance?

But ever since this man appeared, she felt that even without her, Fengxi City could still survive.

Even she herself had relied on this man to fully recover from the injuries on her body.

At the same time, the opportunity to advance to the Great Vehicle was also because this man refined the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill.

She also felt the taste of being protected by someone.

Indeed, the feeling of having a backer is good.

No matter how willful she was, there would always be someone to shelter her and cover for her.

"Although there is much I want to say to you, I will go cross my tribulation first."

Zhou Sui kissed Fengxi Daoren's smooth forehead lightly, put on his clothes, and with a flash of his figure, he crossed tens of millions of kilometers and instantly arrived at a huge Dujie Island in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

This was his exclusive Dujie Island; no one could come here except him.

In fact, there were a total of fifty Dujie Islands in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

Forty-nine of them belonged to ordinary Human Race Cultivators, and the remaining one belonged to Zhou Sui and his Dao Companions.

"Crossing the tribulation so soon?"

"As expected of my husband."

Watching Zhou Sui's departing figure, Fengxi Daoren exclaimed in admiration; although she knew that this man had obtained the True Phoenix Qi and Pure Yin Qi from her body, his cultivation would certainly receive a huge boost.

But she had not expected that he could directly break through to the Combined Body Mid-Stage; it was truly inconceivable.

One must know that it had not been very long since her man advanced to the Integration Realm Initial Stage.

Yet now, he could actually break through directly to the Combined Body Mid-Stage.

If this matter were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Human Race and make countless Cultivators look on in awe.

Because such a speed of cultivation was simply too astonishing.

…………

At this very moment, in the sky above the Dujie Island, thick tribulation clouds covered a million kilometers.

Deep within the tribulation clouds, black and white Tribulation Lightning appeared from time to time, containing a destructive aura.

It seemed that if any random Black and White Two-Colored Lightning were to strike down, it would shatter the earth and cause destructive damage.

Even many Integration Stage Cultivators would be terrified and tremble upon sensing the aura of these Tribulation Lightning.

"This is the Tribulation Lightning of an Integration Realm Cultivator, known as Black and White Two-Colored Lightning."

"It is also called Yin-Yang Two-Colored Lightning, and its power is infinite."

"Moreover, because it is I who am undergoing the tribulation, the power of the Tribulation Lightning has increased many times over."

"It has basically reached the level of the Thirty-Six Layer Yin-Yang Two-Colored Lightning."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, sensing the terrifying aura of the Tribulation Lightning appearing above the sky.

If it were an ordinary Integration Stage, only a nine-layer Yin-Yang Two-Colored Lightning would appear, but when it came to him, it reached the level of thirty-six layers.

The power of the Tribulation Lightning within it had inevitably increased many times over.

If an ordinary He Ti Initial Stage were to experience this kind of Thunder Tribulation, it would be certain death.

"However, it is merely Yin-Yang Two-Colored Lightning; for ordinary Integration Stage, it is indeed quite terrifying."

"But for me, it is nothing more than this."

Zhou Sui stood tall in mid-air, neither happy nor sad.

For someone who had experienced many special Tribulation Lightnings, mere Yin-Yang Two-Colored Lightning was no longer a concern at all.

No matter how great the quantity, it was actually just the same thing.

Boom, boom, boom~~~

The next second, in the sky, streaks of black and white Tribulation Lightning descended from the heavens, as thick as water buckets, containing a destructive aura, and struck fiercely onto Zhou Sui's body.

With a thud, Zhou Sui did not dodge or evade, circulating the Taigu Xuangui Art, and immediately five layers of mysterious turtle barriers appeared on his body.

Instantly, this streak of black and white Tribulation Lightning shattered, completely unable to break through these five layers of mysterious turtle barriers.

At the same time, the vast thunder energy scattered in all directions.

Now, his body's defense was simply tyrannically strong to an absurd degree.

He could even borrow the power of the Tribulation Lightning to help him temper his Dragon Elephant Dao Body.

Clearly, the appearance of this Thunder Tribulation immediately attracted the attention of many Cultivators.

After all, this Dujie Island was very close to the surrounding Cultivators.

Moreover, such a massive range of Thunder Tribulation was also incredibly rare; apart from an Integration Stage, no one could trigger it.

Most importantly, due to the appearance of the Dream World, Humans could spread news very rapidly.

Even if something happened in one place, it would spread throughout the Qianmiao Secret Realm in the first instance.

"No way, could this be the legendary black and white two-colored Thunder Tribulation? Isn't this a Thunder Tribulation that only an Integration Great Power can trigger? Could some Integration Great Power be breaking through?"

A Refining Void Old Ancestor exclaimed in wonder, looking at the sky in the distance, the tribulation clouds covering millions of miles, trembling uncontrollably.

"Need you ask? There is only one person who can trigger an Integration Thunder Tribulation now, and that is Senior Zhou."

"If I am not mistaken, it should be that Senior Zhou's cultivation has broken through and is about to advance to the Combined Body Mid-Stage."

Someone said with absolute certainty.

"How is that possible? Hasn't Senior Zhou only been in the He Ti Initial Stage for one or two hundred years? How could he advance again so quickly?" Many people found it hard to believe.

After all, it is recognized that Integration Stage progress is slow; even if one cannot break through for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it is a very normal thing. How could it be like this, advancing in less than two hundred years?

They had never seen such a fast-advancing Integration Great Power.

"Who do you think Senior Zhou is? Other Integration Great Powers may progress slowly, but that does not mean Senior Zhou progresses slowly."

"Exactly, exactly, this kind of progress speed is what counts as Senior Zhou."

"Regardless, the faster Senior Zhou progresses, the better it is for us."

"To be honest, I'm not even that surprised knowing this news; tell me when Senior Zhou advances to the Great Vehicle."

Many Cultivators discussed it heatedly.

They had all begun to get used to it; they just exclaimed once, then finished, not feeling like it was anything special.

After all, over these years, the miracles Zhou Sui had performed were simply too many, so this was nothing.

…………

Several hours later.

City Lord Mansion.

Bai Sujie, Hua Siqing, Tao Qili, and Shi Yuxi, the four women, were drinking tea and chatting. As the instigators from last night, they were in a very pleasant mood, having finally achieved their plan of many years.

"Not bad, Fengxi Sister has finally married our husband; it was worth our planning for so long."

Bai Sujie giggled, her mood incredibly happy.

After all, Fengxi Daoren was her own sister, equivalent to her own kin.

She had been cared for by Fengxi Daoren since she was small, and even after arriving at Fengxi City, she was protected by Fengxi Daoren, which was why she could grow up so healthily.

Now that Fengxi Daoren had actually married her husband, from now on they would truly be one family.

She felt that her relationship with Fengxi Sister had also become even closer.

"It cannot be called a plan, it can only be said to be pushing the boat along with the current."

"If Fengxi Sister did not like our husband, our plan would actually be of no use."

"It is purely because our husband's charm is too great, that even a remarkable woman like Fengxi Sister has fallen for him."

Hua Siqing was very moved.

She was not being modest, but stating a fact.

If Fengxi Daoren truly did not want to, then no one could do anything to her.

It was only because Fengxi Daoren truly liked Zhou Sui that they could carry out this plan.

It could be said that this was a matter of course.

Their actions merely accelerated the process and saved a little bit of time.

"Our husband's charm is naturally peerless in the world."

"If it weren't for our husband liking bitter cultivation, our household would have likely seen three thousand beauties long ago; how could it be that there are only five now, and he is still eating the grass by the nest all day long."

Shi Yuxi also nodded in agreement.

She felt that her man possessed extraordinary charm; if he were to truly pursue a woman, almost no one could refuse him.

Even Fengxi Daoren, who was a favored daughter of heaven.

But it was also very difficult to refuse her husband's charm.

"Regardless of anything else, from now on, Feng Xi is part of our family."

Tao Qili smiled slightly.

Clearly, this had immense benefits for the unity of the Human Race in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

Moreover, her husband had gained another Dao Companion, which was equivalent to strengthening her husband's power.

It could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

In any case, her husband already had many Dao Companions, so even if there were one more, it didn't amount to much.

"Hmm, Husband's cultivation seems to have broken through; it looks like he is undergoing a tribulation?"

Just at this moment, Bai Sujie's heart stirred, as if she had sensed something, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Undergoing a tribulation? Could it be that he is about to break through to the Combined Body Mid-Stage?"

"That's right, Husband obtained the True Phoenix Qi from Feng Xi Sister, so it is only natural that he would achieve a breakthrough."

"However, it has only been a few years since Husband ascended to the Integration Stage, yet he has broken through again; it is truly too fast."

Shi Yuxi exclaimed in endless wonder.

She knew exactly how difficult it was for an Integration Stage cultivator to break through, often taking thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Don't look at the fact that the Human Race previously had over a hundred Integration Great Powers; most of them were only at the He Ti Initial Stage.

Many human Integration cultivators might even spend their entire lives at the initial stage, unable to break through.

One can imagine just how difficult it is for an Integration Stage cultivator to increase their cultivation.

Yet, her husband had only been in the Integration Stage for such a short time, not even a few hundred years, and he had already broken through to the Combined Body Mid-Stage; this progress was simply rapid and inconceivable.

Swoosh!

Just at this moment, a figure flickered and instantly appeared before the women.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Sui.

He had successfully passed the Thirty-Six Layer Two-Colored Thunder Tribulation and ascended to the Combined Body Mid-Stage.

The power of his Dharma Power and divine sense within his body had also doubled compared to before.

It could be said that his strength had also achieved a geometric increase.

Although the Black and White Two-Colored Lightning was indeed terrifying, for Zhou Sui, it was nothing more than that.

He didn't even need to deploy the Tribulation Thunder Gu; his own strength alone was enough to easily withstand this Thirty-Six Layer Lightning Tribulation.

At the same time, he used the power of this Thirty-Six Layer Lightning Tribulation to temper his Dragon Elephant Dao Body, thereby causing the Dragon Elephant Bloodline within his body to increase significantly.

"Husband."

Bai Sujie, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and Tao Qili, the four women, all looked at Zhou Sui with pleasant surprise.

"You all certainly had a good plan."

"To actually scheme against me like this."

Zhou Sui came before the women, feigning anger, and wrapped his arms around their slender waists.

"Giggle, isn't this to Husband's benefit?"

"Marrying Fengxi Sister is, for Husband, a hundred benefits and not a single harm."

Hua Siqing giggled and looked at Zhou Sui with charm.

"That's right, that's right, you are now profiting while pretending to be aggrieved."

"If you really wanted to refuse, who could have plotted against you? It's not certain that you weren't half-reluctant last night."

Tao Qili looked at Zhou Sui with great disdain.

She had spent many years with Zhou Sui and had long been familiar with this man's personality.

He had always been one to neither refuse nor initiate when it came to women.

If a peerless beauty were to offer herself, how could he possibly refuse?

"It seems you all really need to be disciplined, otherwise you will truly be lawless."

Zhou Sui gritted his teeth.

Boom~~~

Immediately, the four Dao Companions were dragged into the room by Zhou Sui and severely disciplined.

It only ended when one by one they begged for mercy and conceded.

……

In the blink of an eye, several more months passed.

Ever since that night of pleasure with Fengxi Daoren, Fengxi Daoren had completely married Zhou Sui, becoming one of his Dao Companions, and they naturally began living together.

However, when this news spread, the various human cultivators felt it was only natural.

Instead, they wondered why this news was only just announced; they believed that perhaps the two had already been together for a long time, and it was only now that they were announcing the news of their union as Dao Companions.

Therefore, the news of Zhou Sui and Fengxi Daoren's marriage did not cause much of a stir in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

On the contrary, many Refining Void cultivators were extremely happy, feeling that this was great news for the stability of the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

Because after Fengxi Daoren married Zhou Sui, it meant that the highest power was as stable as Mount Tai, completely unified.

From now on, there would be no possibility of division.

As for Fengxi Daoren, after being with Zhou Sui, she could be considered to have completely removed her Heart Demon.

At the same time, she also obtained Zhou Sui's vast Pure Yang Qi, her physical constitution was further improved, and the Phoenix Bloodline within her body was purified to an extent, making her bloodline even more concentrated.

Thus, she returned to her own Cave Abode and began closed-door cultivation, intending to attempt a breakthrough to the Great Vehicle Realm.

For her, the most important priority right now is to advance to the Great Vehicle stage.

As for Zhou Sui, he remained in bitter cultivation every day.

After all, even if one truly advances to the Integration Mid-stage, it is merely a small realm along the way; while it is indeed worth being happy about, there is no need to be happy for so long.

This is just a small step in a long march of ten thousand miles.

Rumble—

At this very moment, Zhou Sui stayed inside his Cave Abode, sitting cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Gu God Scripture.

His body seemed to have transformed into a massive vortex, and every Heavenly Gu Insect on him was also a vortex, swallowing and devouring as the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi surged in from all directions.

It seemed that with every breath, he had to consume a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

Fortunately, the Spirit Vein of the Qianmiao Secret Realm had grown to the Eighth-Tier Upper-Grade level, and there were also a large number of Spirit Vein Flowers, so this Cave Abode was not lacking in Heaven and Earth Origin Qi at all.

No matter how Zhou Sui devoured it, it made no difference; it was merely a drop in the bucket.

"Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Sui suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying gleam; he felt that his Integration Dharma Power had also progressed by a large margin. After several months of cultivation, he had also digested a significant amount of True Phoenix Qi and Pure Yin Qi obtained from Fengxi Daoren, which caused his Integration Dharma Power to improve astonishingly.

This was equivalent to saving a thousand years of bitter cultivation, which could be called rapid progress.

Vaguely, deep within his body, countless Myriad Gu Runes flickered, as if many runes were flowing within him.

Each Heavenly Gu Insect also resided within his body, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, devouring vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

They seemed to be even more compatible with his body, practically becoming one, indistinguishable from each other.

Thinking of this, his mind stirred, and he immediately opened his Virtual Panel.

"Has my longevity actually increased to 1.5 million years?"

"Compared to before, it has increased by at least one-half."

"The extent of the increase is quite astonishing."

"As expected, advancing a small realm in the Integration Realm is also very significant for the increase in longevity."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in wonder.

He felt that the life force within his body was incomparably vast.

Clearly, a normal Integration Stage Cultivator could definitely not increase their longevity by this much.

The reason he could increase his longevity by so much naturally had a great deal to do with the Dragon Elephant Bloodline in his body and his own Dragon Elephant Dao Body, even if it was just advancing a small realm.

However, the Longevity Substance contained within his body was also many times more than that of ordinary Integration Stage Cultivators.

This is the long lifespan that only a Divine Beast can possess, which is why they are called long-lived species.

"My Heavenly Spirit Root has also improved quite a bit, actually reaching the 80% level."

"If this continues, perhaps I really can form an Immortal Spirit Root."

Zhou Sui sensed that the Spirit Root deep within his consciousness had indeed undergone an unusual change; it seemed that his Spirit Root was about to undergo a qualitative transformation.

Once an Immortal Spirit Root is condensed, it is equivalent to possessing a True Immortal Dao Fruit in advance.

This also means that before he advances to the Great Vehicle stage, he will have no bottlenecks.

As long as he survives the Thunder Tribulation, he will inevitably be able to become a True Immortal.

Generally speaking, only a Reincarnated Immortal could possibly form an Immortal Spirit Root.

But if he, who is not a Reincarnated Immortal, can also possess an Immortal Spirit Root in advance, that is a unique stroke of good fortune.

This is practically being a born immortal.

However, for now, it has only reached the 80% level; there is still at least 20% left to complete.

Perhaps it will still require a massive amount of time to truly make the Spirit Root undergo an astonishing transformation.

"The speed of my cultivation improvement is also quite astonishing."

"It has actually reached the 25% level."

"But this is all thanks to the True Phoenix Qi and Pure Yin Qi on Feng Xi."

"This is energy accumulated over thousands of years."

"Now it has all been devoured by me, equivalent to consuming many Seventh-Tier Upper-Grade Pills."

"It is only natural that my cultivation has progressed so quickly."

Zhou Sui felt that his Integration Dharma Power had indeed gained a significant boost.

How could an ordinary Integration Mid-stage Cultivator possibly have 25% progress immediately after just advancing?

Possessing 1% progress is already considered quite good.

The reason for such rapid progress is naturally due to obtaining energy from within Fengxi Daoren's body.

The energy obtained last time was not merely as simple as helping him break through to the Combined Body Mid-Stage.

There was also a large amount of energy that had not yet been digested.

However, after several months of consolidating his cultivation and digesting the energy, his cultivation base has finally achieved a not-insignificant improvement.
