After a while, the three women had gathered in one place again, and Zhiyu Yushen asked the other two. "Have you placed all the items according to the coordinates I gave you?"
"Yes, we put everything accordingly."
"That's good; we just need to wait for nightfall, and I will activate the purification formation once the ghosts come out." Both women nodded in agreement with Zhiyu Yushen. "However, you should be prepared to face the ferocious ghost, and you must be very careful with it."
Yi Mingxia then pointed at the sky. "If I can't face the ferocious ghost, I'll go straight into the flying artifact, Master."
"I didn't expect that your husband had such a good flying artifact, and it was much better than mine." Zhiyu Yushen said as she looked up at the sky. "Are those women his wives?"
"Three of them are my sisters, but the other two are my husband's friends."
Zhiyu Yushen nodded in understanding before turning to Jiao Lu, who had been standing there dumbfounded since earlier. "Who is that woman? Why is she acting so strange?"
"Her name is Jiao Lu, and she is the two-horned white deer." Zhiyu Yushen turned to Tian Yueling. "I don't know what happened to her myself, but she seems to have been affected by Mo Chen's natural charm."
"Hmm?" Zhiyu Yushen raised her eyebrows. "Although his charm is strong, it is still insufficient to influence a strong cultivator like her, and she appears to be under the influence of something else that comes from him."
"What do you think influenced her to be like that?" At first, Tian Yueling thought that Ling Yun was using his superior bloodline to subjugate Jiao Lu.
"I don't know." Zhiyu Yushen answered by shaking her head. "However, that something clearly affected her lust, and her gaze was like a female beast during the mating period."
'Sigh, Yun'er must have used his scent of lust on that Jiao Lu.' Yi Mingxia inwardly muttered as she sighed, but she couldn't possibly tell the two women about it.
"Hmm?" Zhiyu Yushen immediately raised his eyebrows when Xiao Xiao and the others landed in front of them, but her gaze was focused on Ling Yu'er. "A woman with a fox bloodline, huh?"
[Hey, Yu'er! She also has a fox bloodline, so it's natural that she could know that, but her bloodline is inferior to mine.] Tian Hu said it to her directly.
'Oh?' Ling Yu'er was taken back for a moment.
[Her bloodline is a spirit fox beast, which has a high charm level, so she deliberately uses the necklace around her neck to suppress her charm, or those men will go crazy because of her.]
'Is her charm higher than ours, Sister Hu?'
[Humph! How can you think like that? I am a Celestial Nine-Tailed Fox Beast, and no other fox beast can compare to me! Although her charm is very high, it cannot be compared with ours.]
Ling Yu'er nodded in understanding and said to Zhiyu Yushen. "I didn't expect that you have a spirit fox beast bloodline, Senior."
"Yes." Zhiyu Yushen did not sugarcoat it. "My beast contract is a spirit fox beast, and it passed its bloodline to me, but the result was truly troublesome."
"That's true." Ling Yu'er herself could understand Zhiyu Yushen's feelings. "Back then, when we were still residing in our realm, I had no choice but to hide in my clan, especially since those men's weak mental fortitude made them far too susceptible to my charm. However, the men in this realm were much better compared to them, especially since their mental strength has been tempered for quite a long time."
Suddenly, Yue Tu jumped onto Zhiyu Yuzhen's head. "Hey, why do you feel troublesome about your charm? Don't you enjoy using your charm on those men? Those men always flock to your clan just to enjoy your beauty and sexiness."
"Tch!" Zhiyu Yuzhen looked up at her. "If you weren't Chenyu's contract beast, I would have turned you into rabbit skewers."
"Haha." Yue Tu laughed at that. "Fortunately, you have a purifying formation technique, so we can clean up those ghosts soon, and we will go to the Ancient Garden after everything is settled."
"The ancient garden? Are you really going to go to that place?" Zhiyu Yushen asked in surprise.
Xiao Xiao answered her. "We took a mission to look for a stalk of millennium nine petal lotus flower, and Yueling said that it only grows in that place, so we decided to go there."
"Yueling is right; you can find the flower there." Zhiyu Yushen then turned to the other three women before continuing. "However, I don't recommend bringing them there; the three of them are too weak to go there, and they won't be able to withstand the strong pressure coming from the garden."
Ling Xiya, Nangong Nichang, and Qiao Lingzhi looked disappointed when they heard that, but they really wanted to see the ancient garden.
"You were right about them." Xiao Xiao said this to Zhiyu Yushen with a nod. "However, Big Sis Yu will protect them, so it doesn't matter if they go with us. As for those unique beasts, I think they won't be a big problem for us."
Zhiyu Yushen sighed softly. "In that case, I will join you to go to the ancient garden, and I also want to look for some rare herbs to treat someone."
"That's great! Our trip will be even more exciting!" Yue Tu then turned toward the top of the hill. "It seems that Mo Chen will break through now, and I am curious about his breakthrough."
Sure enough, the white phenomenon finally appeared again and dazzled their eyes, which made Zhiyu Yushen and the others truly shocked.
"Unbelievable!" Zhiyu Yushen, Yue Tu, and Tian Yueling exclaimed in shock. "How could he provoke this femomena with such low cultivation?"
Xiao Xiao told them directly. "He helped one of our sisters break through to the Saint Realm before, so the heavens were furious and tried to kill him, but he had escaped death twice, and he will survive this time too."
"Help someone break through? Is he crazy?" Zhiyu Yushen asked with a frown.
Tian Yueling nodded in agreement with her. "I've never heard of someone daring to do such a thing before, so Mo Chen was simply absurd."
"Haha." Yue Tu let out a hearty laugh instead, and her eyes looked amazed. "Mo Chen is different from ordinary cultivators, so you don't need to be surprised by his actions."
No one spoke any more after that, especially since hundreds of white lightning bolts kept flashing in the sky, and they were sure that they would soon descend to attack Ling Yun.
However, Yi Mingxia clenched both her hands in front of her chest, and her expression was filled with worry as Ling Yun's lightning tribulation continued to strengthen every time he broke through to the next stage. 'You must survive, Yun'er!'
"Here they come!"
As they expected, hundreds of white lightning bolts descended at once and quickly headed towards the top of the cliff, and they all held their breaths as they awaited the results of Ling Yun's breakthrough.
*Boom... Boom... Boom...*
Loud booming sounds continued to be heard as they swooped down on Ling Yun, who was at the top of the hill, and the hill quickly cracked; even the surrounding area became charred by their attacks.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was there, and she used void walls to protect the surrounding area, so the effects of their attacks did not spread to other areas.
For several minutes, deafening explosions continued to occur on the hilltop, and their hearts tightened as they were unable to observe Ling Yun due to the effects of the phenomenon, which restricted their senses.
.
.
.
[You have broken through to the Upper King Realm.]
Ling Yun lay on the ground as he breathed heavily; even his Tiankong equipment set was cracked in several parts, especially since his lightning tribulation just now was much stronger than when he broke through to Middle King Realm.
Even blood was covering his body, and Ling Yun immediately swallowed a Flawless Grade Healing Pill as he used his light qi to recover his body.
"Damn it! They really want to kill me!" Ling Yun cursed as he looked up at the sky, but he felt relieved to see that the white phenomenon had disappeared and the sky had also become calm again. "I will definitely make calculations with you guys once I become truly strong in the future."
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed as he landed beside him. "How is your condition?"
"I'm lucky to have my dragon transformation technique and equipment set, or else I'd have turned to ashes by now." Ling Yun answered as he looked at all the equipment attached to his body. "Unfortunately, these are all destroyed now, so I have to buy a replacement, or I won't be able to face my next lightning tribulation when I break through to the peak stage."
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement with that. "All right, you can rest first, and Zhiyu Yushen has finished installing the refining formation. That way, we just have to wait for that ghost to come out, and you can absorb that ferocious ghost later."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun turned to her. "Do you think it would be fine if Zhiyu Yushen saw me absorb it?"
"That woman is open-minded, and she definitely knows that you're not a demon, so you don't need to worry about her."
