I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 703: Chapter 378: Celestial Fox’s Tribulation (Part 2)

The crowd’s worries were not unknown to Li Mu, for the Thunder Tribulation had obviously not yet reached its critical juncture, yet Xue’Er was already in crisis. If they didn’t act to rescue her in time, she might not be able to cross this hurdle.

Li Mu sighed helplessly, forming techniques with his hands, deploying his prepared backup plan to control the Spirit Treasure Spirit Tower that he had previously sent to Xue’Er.

The Life Spirit Tower within Xue’Er’s body buzzed with vibrations.

In the next moment, Li Mu’s backup plan finally launched. A strong Divine Sense was born from the Life Spirit Tower, rushing into Xue’Er’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Xue’Er, what are you doing?! Hurry and wake up." Li Mu’s voice resounded in Xue’Er’s Sea of Consciousness, stern and severe, akin to a morning bell or evening drum, instantly awakening Xue’Er from her Illusion Realm.

Xue’Er exclaimed in shock, her eyes regaining clarity. Seeing Li Mu’s spiritual projection in her Sea of Consciousness, a warm current surged in her heart. She knew it was Li Mu who had saved her, freeing her from the endless Illusion Realm.

However, at this moment, Li Mu’s spiritual projection suddenly drew the attention of the Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation, a thread of lightning splitting off like a silver arrow, directly piercing Li Mu’s spiritual projection.

With a soft "bang," Li Mu’s spiritual projection in Xue’Er’s Sea of Consciousness instantly dissolved, struck by that slender bolt of lightning. Xue’Er watched this scene in horror, a surge of emotion welling up in her heart. She knew that this was the price Li Mu had paid to save her.

"Lord Li!" Xue’Er exclaimed as she regained clarity, realizing the truth. It turned out that Li Mu’s spiritual projection had been embedded in the Tribulation Crossing Treasure he had given her, which she hadn’t thoroughly checked before. At this moment, she deeply felt Li Mu’s care and protection for her.

"Lord Li, it’s so wonderful that you’re alright!" Xue’Er spoke excitedly, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Li Mu’s ’resurrection’ allowed the previously trapped-in-Illusion Xue’Er to swiftly regain her senses. Her eyes regained clarity, and the confusion and fear in her heart were erased.

Finally, Xue’Er successfully crossed the Heart Demon Tribulation, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura, her eyes sparkling with glowing light, no longer confused, so bright as if able to penetrate everything. Her form became more agile, her snow-white fur fluffy and clean, like a flake of pure white snow drifting down.

However, the Thunder Tribulation was not yet over; the size of the thunderclouds overhead further decreased, the might of the Thunder Tribulation growing increasingly oppressive.

"Crack!" A purple lightning bolt, shocking and frightening, struck from the thunderclouds, viciously hitting the back of the Six-tailed Snow Fox in an instant.

"Woo!"

Xue’Er howled in pain toward the sky, feeling a piercing pain deep within her soul; even a single purple lightning bolt had the power to scatter her soul.

Xue’Er felt the terrifying power carried by that purple lightning, and an involuntary fear surged in her heart. However, she couldn’t back down now, could not give up.

Xue’Er gritted her silver teeth, exerting all her strength to squeeze out every ounce of demon power within her, forcibly enduring the onslaught of the Tribulation Thunder.

"Crack!" Yet another bolt of lightning struck down, Xue’Er only feeling an acute pain from her back as if being torn open. Her body was blasted away, tumbling twice in the air, almost knocked off the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

As Xue’Er landed, she immediately checked herself, her chest’s white fur singed by the aftermath of the lightning, yet she still persisted without giving up.

In the sky, the thunderclouds roiled constantly, seemingly intent on pouring all of their Thunderbolt Power onto Xue’Er, one purple lightning bolt after another, each like a Giant Hammer, crashing down upon Xue’Er, rendering her almost unable to bear it.

Yet Xue’Er did not retreat; she continuously adjusted her breathing and rhythm, squeezing out all the demon power within her, resisting the Thunderbolt Power, guiding the Thunderbolt Power within her body into the earth.

The Thunder Tribulation did not seem willing to let Xue’Er go, relentless bolts of Frenzy lightning one after another, seemingly endless. The observing Elders watched this scene with worry for Xue’Er.

"It’s too terrifying; after the Heart Demon Tribulation, there is still the Silent Extinction Tribulation. The Heavenly Dao truly intends to put Miss Xue’Er to death!" Fang Shixin sighed.

"Indeed! How did Miss Xue’Er come to face such a Thunder Tribulation? The Heavenly Dao is too harsh!" Ge Xinyu couldn’t help but worry aloud.

"Lord Li, Miss Xue’Er is in danger!" Qin Wentong looked at Li Mu and said worriedly.

...

The Elders of the Seven Profound Sect all looked to Li Mu, awaiting his arrangement.

Li Mu watched in his Sea of Consciousness as Xue’Er struggled painfully under the Thunder Tribulation, his heart filled with worry. However, he had already deployed his backup plan, and at present, in Xue’Er’s Tribulation Crossing, he truly could not intervene. If the Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation were to sense that he personally assisted Xue’Er, then both of them would face even more dreadful Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation.

Just as Xue’Er was about to be exhausted by the Frenzied Thunder Tribulation, suddenly, her body began to transform, her six tails starting to emit a strong light, as if some mysterious power was surging within. Abruptly, an Illusion emerged from within Xue’Er, surprisingly it was a white Nine-tailed Fox Illusion, several times larger in size, exuding an eerie, wondrous aura, seemingly capable of merging with Heaven and Earth, better harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Indeed, with the appearance of the Nine-tailed Illusion, Xue’Er’s actions of gathering demon power to resist the purple lightning became elegant and unfettered.

"Nine-tailed Bloodline, heavens! Xue’Er indeed possesses the Celestial Fox Bloodline, it’s simply unbelievable."

"The Nine-tails revealed in the world, who exactly is that young one, to possess such a diluted Spiritual Bird."

"With the Bloodline Power of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox to protect her, no more fear of being late."

...

Watching the Elders on the observation platform passionately discussing, Li Mu understood that decisions had to be made quickly. Xue’Er’s awakening of the Celestial Fox Bloodline undoubtedly brought her endless potential and possibilities, but it could also bring unnecessary trouble to the Seven Profound Sect.

Li Mu stepped forward, looking at the Elders, his voice loud and clear: "Esteemed Elders, what we have witnessed today is a great fortune for the Seven Profound Sect. Xue’Er possesses the Celestial Fox Bloodline, making her a treasure of the Seven Profound Sect. But this matter is of great importance, and if discovered by outsiders, it could bring endless trouble to our sect. Therefore, I ask you all to pledge a vow, keeping this secret, never to disclose it."

Li Mu’s voice suddenly interrupted the Elders’ discussions. He looked at everyone solemnly and continued, "The awakening of Xue’Er’s Celestial Fox Bloodline is a fortunate event for our Seven Profound Sect and a secret for our Sect. I don’t want this secret leaked to the outside world, causing unnecessary troubles."

The Elders nodded in succession, understanding Li Mu’s concerns. They knew that the rarity and power of the Celestial Fox Bloodline, once exposed, would inevitably attract external contention and covetousness. This would be a huge problem for both the Seven Profound Sect and Xue’Er.

However, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline is an extraordinary existence; once Miss Xue’Er grows all nine fox tails, then

"Rest assured, Lord Li, we understand the gravity of this matter. We will definitely keep this secret, quietly investigate, and not let the outside world learn of it," Fang Shixin said solemnly, looking at Li Mu.

Other Elders also expressed their commitment to keeping the secret and ensuring Xue’Er’s safety.

Seeing the determined expressions of the Elders, Li Mu felt gratified. These Elders were the mainstay of the Sect, and their loyalty and firmness were essential guarantees for the Sect’s development.

As the Elders pledged their vows, Xue’Er’s Tribulation Crossing also entered its final stage. Under the protection of the Bloodline Power of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, she effortlessly and freely withstood the strikes of the thunderbolts. Each time a thunderbolt descended, it was skillfully neutralized, as if the thunderbolt that appeared before her became insignificant.

Finally, when the last thunderbolt vanished into the horizon, Xue’Er successfully crossed the Silent Extinction Tribulation, her body exuding an even more powerful aura, like a female warrior returning from the battlefield, valiant and awe-inspiring.
