Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 379: Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, Fellow Daoist Advances in Void Refining, Turning Uncooked Rice into Cooked Rice

At the same time,

At the headquarters of the Puppet Clan,

Many elders of the Puppet Clan also heard the news of their defeat in this battle. Each of them had a calm expression, as if they had expected it long ago.

"As expected, our plan of the Puppet Clan has failed."

"One of the important factors is that the Human Clan has mastered a method to identify our Puppet Clan."

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

"This is a fatal blow to our Puppet Clan."

A senior elder of the Puppet Clan said in a deep voice.

It felt that the biggest factor in the failure of this battle was that the Puppet Clan parasitized on humans but was discovered by humans.

This means that many of the methods used by the Puppet Clan before have completely lost their effectiveness.

It seems that it won't be as easy as before to secretly manipulate humans.

"Although the failure of this plan was expected."

"But we lost too miserably and too quickly."

"We can only say that the Human Clan is developing at a fast pace, beyond imagination."

"If this continues, our three clans will also have their living space compressed by the Human Clan."

Another senior elder of the Puppet Clan had a serious expression.

The reason why they launched an attack on Phoenix Stream City this time was not only to destroy a city of the Human Clan, but also to test the current strength of the Human Clan and how far they have developed.

As a result, this attack completely revealed the terrifying strength of the Human Clan and their research on the Puppet Clan.

So this plan of theirs can be considered a complete failure.

But it's not without gains.

At least they know that the usual parasitic methods of the Puppet Clan are of little use to the Human Clan.

They can easily be identified.

"Our Puppet Clan has three levels of parasitism."

"The first level is flesh parasitism, which is just a simple parasitism. It's like controlling a puppet, controlling many flesh creatures as our soldiers. But this kind of parasitism is in a shallow level, and others can easily detect it."

"The second level is soul parasitism, which is a deeper level of parasitism. It can parasitize deep in the enemy's soul, absorb the enemy's soul memories, and completely conceal the breath of our Puppet Clan. Unless a full-scale attack is launched, the breath of the Puppet Clan will not be exposed."

"But now it seems that this level of parasitism has been discovered by the Human Clan. It seems that the Human Clan has invented a talisman called the Puppet Talisman, which can detect the difference between the soul and flesh, thus detecting those parasites."

"The third level is the integration of spirit and puppet, which is the perfect integration of our Puppet Clan with other flesh creatures. There is no distinction between each other, completely replacing each other's soul and flesh. In this way, the spirit and flesh are integrated, completely becoming the identity of the other party."

"Of course, once this level of puppet parasitism is used, it means that we can never leave this body in the future. If this body dies, we will also die. So unless it is absolutely necessary, we will not use this level of parasitism."

"But once the integration of spirit and puppet is used, even if the Human Clan uses various means, they will not be able to detect our true identity as the Puppet Clan, because we have indeed transformed into humans, but we just can't have the memories of the Puppet Clan."

A senior elder of the Puppet Clan said in a deep voice.

Obviously, this is the terrifying parasitic method of the Puppet Clan.

It is also one of the main methods that allowed the Puppet Clan to become a major clan at the Spirit World Transcendent Level in the past.

In the past, the Puppet Clan often parasitized on Transcendent Level races and even the bodies of Transcendent Level geniuses, seizing their physique and gaining their cultivation and talent.

Billions of years ago, a Puppet Clan Mahayana cultivator wanted to take over the body of the true spirit Heavenly Phoenix and replace it, which angered the true spirit Heavenly Phoenix and brought about the disaster of extermination.

"Elder, do we really have to use the integration of spirit and puppet?"

"Once it is used, our future will be fixed."

An elder of the Puppet Clan asked.

To be honest, they don't really want to use this puppet technique on the Human Clan. They just want to manipulate humans.

After all, there are countless races in the Spirit World, and many of them are more talented than the Human Clan.

Compared to them, the Human Clan is just an ordinary race.

If they really use the integration of spirit and puppet, why not find flesh creatures with more amazing talents? There is no need to find the Human Clan. This is purely ruining their future.

"Don't worry, not all elders need to do this."

"Just a few elders of the Puppet Clan being able to do this is enough."

"Once we control many Human Clan Body Integration experts, the Human Clan will sooner or later be under our control."

"We can even silently manipulate and enslave the Human Clan."

"This is a great opportunity for our Puppet Clan."

A senior elder of the Puppet Clan said in a deep voice.

"Elder, do we have a way to enslave the Golden Toad Clan and the Soaring Serpent Clan?"

"If we could enslave these two races, the power of our Puppet Clan would also be greatly enhanced, wouldn't it?"

One of the elders of the Puppet Clan had set his sights on the Snake Clan and the Toad Clan.

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

If we could assimilate these two races, the Puppet Clan would likely advance further.

"It's difficult, too difficult. Our Puppet Clan's power is difficult to exert on these two races."

"First, there's the Toad Clan. They are a race that devours countless toxins. Their bodies are inherently filthy. If we try to parasitize them, our parasites would likely be poisoned to death."

"As for the Snake Clan, they are not as terrifying as the Toad Clan, but the problem is that they are a bunch of brainless fools. They have simple minds and only think about eating to satisfy their own desires."

"They would do anything to eat, even offend any race. The reason they have fallen to this state is closely related to their inability to control their instincts."

There have been Puppet Clan creatures who attempted to parasitize the snakes before, but they found that they couldn't control the snakes at all. Instead, they were controlled by the snakes' instincts, becoming creatures that only eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. They even lost their intelligence. When they were hungry, they even ate their own kind. They were no different from the snakes.

The elder of the Puppet Clan said helplessly.

They also wanted to control the Snake Clan and the Toad Clan, but the truth is that these two races are not afraid of the Puppet Clan.

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

Since then, they have never had any intentions towards these two races.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these two races were not afraid of the Puppet Clan, they wouldn't have cooperated with the Puppet Clan.

After all, who would trust a race that can parasitize their bodies at any time? Isn't that seeking death?

"It seems that we can only deal with the Human Clan."

Many elders of the Puppet Clan nodded.

...

One month later.

Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy.

The sky was covered with dark and heavy clouds, forming a huge vortex, like the eye of a heavenly calamity. Countless thunder calamities were hidden within, appearing and disappearing from time to time, releasing a destructive aura and pressure.

The entire academy was shrouded in calamity clouds, dark and suffocating.

"What's going on? Is someone Transcending Tribulation in the academy?"

At this moment, many teachers in the academy were shocked. They didn't expect that someone would be Transcending Tribulation in the academy.

Normally, in Phoenix Stream City, there are special Cave Mansions to help cultivators in their Transcending Tribulation cultivation. It is rare for someone to Transcend Tribulation in the academy.

Some people even leave Phoenix Stream City and go to the wilderness to Transcend Tribulation.

Unless it is a big figure in the academy, they would choose to Transcend Tribulation in the academy.

"This is the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation. If I'm not mistaken, it should be President Bai who is Transcending Tribulation."

A teacher said decisively.

After all, this was the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, and she could tell at a glance.

But in the entire Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy, only Bai Suje had reached the peak of Soul Formation. The other teachers were at most in the Nascent Soul stage or the early and mid stages of Soul Formation.

Only Bai Suje had the opportunity to trigger the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

"Yes, the center of the heavenly calamity is in the manor where the president is."

"It seems that Teacher Zhou is nearby helping to protect."

"It seems that it is indeed President Bai who triggered the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation. He intends to advance to the Void Refining stage."

Many teachers were stunned and couldn't believe it.

To be honest, Void Refining cultivators are relatively rare in Phoenix Stream City. They are basically figures at the level of the ancestors of major families, like a needle in the sea.

They are usually rarely seen. Each Void Refining cultivator is an extraordinary figure.

Triggering the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation is not rare, but it is not something that can be seen all the time.

If they don't have absolute certainty, not many Soul Formation cultivators would willingly risk their lives.

After all, if they fail to cross the tribulation, they will die under the Thunder Tribulation, their bodies and souls destroyed.

No one would casually joke with their own lives.

"Could it be that President Bai said before that he needed at least several hundred years, or even thousands of years, to prepare before attempting to trigger the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation? Why did he trigger it so quickly now?"

"President Bai is not a fool. If he didn't have absolute certainty, he wouldn't trigger the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation. I'm afraid President Bai is absolutely certain that he will succeed, that's why he did it."

"If President Bai can successfully advance to the Void Refining stage, then our Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy will probably have a Void Refining stage president. At that time, our academy's status will be crucial."

"I hope President Bai can successfully overcome the Thunder Tribulation."

Many teachers from the various academies were discussing among themselves.

Their interests were intertwined with Bai Suje's. If Bai Suje could become a Void Refining realm cultivator, it would undoubtedly bring great benefits to the Eighty-Eight Academy and to them.

Firstly, the funding that the Eighty-Eight Academy could obtain each year would be several times more than before.

At that time, everyone's salaries would increase, and various benefits would follow.

...

On the other hand, in the Lord's Mansion of Phoenix Stream City.

Daoist Fengxi, along with Tao Qili, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and others, were dealing with the city's affairs.

Even though a month had passed since the siege by the three clans, there was still much to be done in terms of follow-up.

For example, the repair of the damaged buildings and compensation for the deceased human cultivators.

In short, there were still many complicated matters to handle.

Even though a month had passed, not everything had been resolved.

"Well, it seems that Su Jie is currently undergoing the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation."

Daoist Fengxi's phoenix eyes looked into the distance, as if sensing something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What? How can she be Transcending Tribulation so quickly?"

"Is this girl crazy? Although she is already a consummate Soul Formation cultivator, her bloodline contains the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox, making the Thunder Tribulation several times stronger than that of cultivators of the same level."

"If she doesn't have absolute certainty and complete preparation, how can she Transcend Tribulation?"

"What is she trying to do?"

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

According to normal circumstances, Bai Suje should not be completely prepared yet, so why would she suddenly choose to provoke the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation? It was too reckless.

"Don't worry."

"Su Jie may be reckless in her daily life, but she is not a fool."

"She knows what she should and shouldn't do."

"I just divined it, and it seems that Su Jie's Transcending Tribulation this time is an auspicious sign."

"I'm afraid this Transcending Tribulation will be smooth and without danger, so there's no need to worry."

Hua Siqing smiled slightly. She performed a technique, seemingly divining the future of Bai Suje's Transcending Tribulation, and found that it was almost certain.

If it were the previous Transcending Tribulations, it would have been a matter of life and death.

She was quite surprised and couldn't understand what kind of opportunity Bai Suje had obtained to cause such a significant change in the divination. It was truly unimaginable.

"An auspicious sign? Could it be that Su Jie is fully prepared and has found a way to overcome the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation?"

Tao Qili immediately calmed down.

She knew very well about Hua Siqing's abilities. She was a master diviner, especially skilled in divination and calculations.

It could be said that the several crises in Phoenix Stream City before were all predicted by her, foreseeing the danger.

Since Hua Siqing said it was an auspicious sign, it must be true.

However, she was also very curious about what Bai Suje had done to make this Transcending Tribulation almost certain.

"Maybe she obtained the Two-Yi Shattering Void Pill."

"Didn't Su Jie find a Dao companion recently?"

"As far as I know, the bloodline of the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox possesses many extraordinary abilities, such as sensing good and evil and avoiding danger."

"But it also has one of the most important abilities, which is to find the husband of a person with great luck."

"Once chosen by the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox, that person will undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future."

"So, there are rumors in the Spirit World that whoever becomes an emperor must be the husband of the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox."

Daoist Fengxi's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of golden light, and endless information flowed in the depths of his pupils.

"Are you saying, Lord Fengxi, that Su Jie's success in Transcending Tribulation this time relies on the assistance of her husband?"

Tao Qili's beautiful eyes flickered.

In her mind, the figure of that dog-like man couldn't help but appear.

It had to be said that this mysterious man was indeed extraordinary. Although he was only a Soul Formation cultivator, he could easily kill Void Refining realm cultivators, which was truly unimaginable.

If it was this man, it was not impossible for him to help Bai Suje successfully overcome the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

After all, this man was truly mysterious and unfathomable.

She also didn't know the details of this man's background.

"That's right."

Fengxi Daoist said firmly.

She was very clear about Bai Suje's abilities. She was a rich young lady and a true princess.

Even as an unfavored princess, she was still much better off than ordinary people.

From birth, she had enjoyed a life of luxury and had been served by countless people.

For a rich young lady like her to obtain the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill through her own abilities was even more difficult than ascending to the Immortal World.

Of course, if finding a man was considered a skill, this little girl was indeed exceptionally talented.

"If that's the case, this little girl is invincible."

"Being able to reincarnate is already impressive, let alone her skill in finding men."

Hua Siqing said with emotion.

She was completely convinced.

It could only be said that she was truly blessed by the heavens as a descendant of the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox, with unimaginable luck.

"In that case, does Fengxi plan to meet her?"

Tao Qili asked curiously.

"No need, it's not the right time now."

"After the previous battle, I was also injured and need to seclude myself for a period of time."

"After Sujie successfully transcends the tribulation, prepare a generous gift for her on my behalf."

Fengxi Daoist waved his hand.

She was not in a hurry at all.

As long as she was in Phoenix Stream City, they would meet no matter when.

Even if the other party was a person with great luck, so what?

The most important thing in cultivation was still relying on oneself, and others couldn't bring much help.

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

Hua Siqing and the others nodded.

...

At this moment, in the Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy.

Swoosh!

A graceful figure instantly flew out of the mansion and directly into the air.

This person was Bai Suje.

After taking the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill, she effortlessly caused a tremendous change in her Primordial Spirit, successfully stepping into the realm of Pure Yang.

At this moment, her Primordial Spirit was as hot as the sun, like a brilliant sun, extremely hot.

Even when her Primordial Spirit Astral Projection was in the void, she would not fear the wind, rain, or thunder outside.

Her mana had increased exponentially.

Even in the face of the upcoming Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, she was confident.

Boom!

In the next second, purple thunderbolts fell from the sky, as thick as a water bucket, with terrifying destructive power and a destructive aura.

Bai Suje gently waved her small hand, took out the Low Grade Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure, the Ice God Ring, from her body, and burst into a silver light, colliding with the thunderbolts, instantly unleashing a terrifying destructive power.

A destructive wave swept in all directions, causing the restrictions and formations of the Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy to constantly shake.

It seemed that the earth had cracked.

It was enough to make any cultivator feel fearful and not dare to confront it head-on.

"So this is the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation of the Spirit World?"

"It really is extraordinary."

Zhou Sui, who was far away, saw this scene and his pupils contracted, also shocked.

Obviously, this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation was many times more terrifying than the Thunder Tribulation of the Immortal Cultivation World in the past.

Even the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation he had experienced before couldn't compare to it.

No wonder there were so many Soul Formation cultivators in the Spirit World, but there was only one in ten thousand who could advance to Void Refining.

Facing such a Thunder Tribulation, ordinary cultivators would probably die without a doubt.

Unless they had enough treasures to resist the Thunder Tribulation, otherwise they would undoubtedly perish.

So it is normal for many Soul Formation cultivators to spend one or two thousand years preparing. After all, if they can't resist it, their lives will be completely finished. Who would dare not take it seriously? Even during the Void Refining stage, breaking through the mid-stage and late stage of Void Refining requires experiencing Thunder Tribulation. And the power of Thunder Tribulation will also become stronger and stronger. Many Void Refining cultivators would rather exhaust their lifespan than dare to try to provoke Thunder Tribulation.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Bai Suje's face was solemn as she held the Low Grade Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure, the Ice God Ring. This Void Refining Thunder Tribulation consisted of a total of 9,981 tribulations, and each one was stronger than the previous, with increasing power. It had only just begun, and the further it went, the more terrifying the power became. If she didn't infuse her entire body with power, her Transcending Tribulation this time would definitely fail.

She infused her own mana into the Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure, instantly maximizing its power. It erupted with white cold light, colliding with the calamitous thunder.

Each collision unleashed a terrifying destructive force, causing the entire Daoist temple to shake and hum. The ground cracked like a spider web.

"How can the power of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation be so great?" Bai Suje's face changed.

If it were a normal Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, perhaps she could easily pass through it. But obviously, because of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, her Void Refining Thunder Tribulation was several times stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, with each purple thunder several times larger than other tribulations. Just a few tribulations had already made her blood surge and caused minor injuries to her body. If this continued, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand the remaining tribulations.

"Don't worry, continue with the Transcending Tribulation," a voice instantly entered her consciousness.

"It's Zhou Lang."

Bai Suje was immediately delighted. She knew that the person speaking was her husband, Zhou Sui.

Upon hearing Zhou Sui's words, she felt much more at ease. She believed that with this man by her side, she would definitely be able to easily pass through the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation without any problems.

At this moment, she felt a strong surge of courage.

Boom!

Just as the voice fell, several purple Void Refining tribulations struck down from the sky, flashing with terrifying thunder runes and explosive destructive power.

"No way, the power of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation has really been weakened."

At this moment, Bai Suje was pleasantly surprised. She found that her Void Refining Thunder Tribulation had been weakened several times compared to before. It was even weaker than the tribulations that ordinary Void Refining cultivators faced.

Although she didn't know how Zhou Sui did it, this was obviously a good thing for her.

At this moment, under Zhou Sui's control, the Calamity Thunder Gu flew into the black calamity cloud in the sky, constantly devouring the power of the tribulations deep within the cloud. This caused the power of the calamity cloud's tribulations to continuously weaken. By the time they landed on Bai Suje, their power had been greatly diminished. For the Calamity Thunder Gu, these Void Refining tribulations were simply a great supplement. The immense thunder energy flowed into its body like a tide. Its aura and cultivation level increased exponentially.

Clearly, this Void Refining tribulation lasted for three days and three nights. One after another, the Void Refining tribulations struck, thunderous and resounding. The Eighty-Eight Daoist Temple couldn't hold classes and had to temporarily suspend them, giving the students a few days off.

With Zhou Sui's secret help, constantly weakening the Void Refining tribulations, Bai Suje's Transcending Tribulation became extremely easy, and she was not afraid of the thunder in the sky at all.

In just three days and three nights, the energy of the calamity clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

Clusters of thick calamity clouds instantly dissipated, and the sky returned to its usual clarity.

Fresh air permeated the surroundings, truly refreshing.

It seems that even a slight whiff of the surrounding aura can greatly enhance one's magical power and bring many benefits.

"It's done."

At this moment, Bai Suje also flew down from mid-air. She saw the dissipating calamity clouds and knew that she had finally succeeded in Transcending Tribulation, becoming a Void Refining cultivator.

Compared to before, her strength has undergone a tremendous change.

It has increased by more than tenfold.

She looked joyfully at Zhou Sui, who was standing beside her as her protector.

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

To be honest, this was the first time she felt that the calamity thunder was not terrifying at all, which was truly unbelievable.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes and saw that Bai Suje, who had just advanced to the early stage of Void Refining, had a more mature and beautiful face, exuding a captivating charm between her eyebrows.

Her body had also matured, and her curves seemed even more astonishing.

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

Her golden furry tail gently swayed.

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

Every frown, every smile, every movement seemed to be seducing the world like a fox spirit.

What's more, due to the experience of the calamity thunder, her clothes were torn, leaving only a few strips of fabric on her body, unable to cover up her alluring figure.

It was truly blush-inducing and drool-worthy.

Swoosh!

In the next second, Bai Suje's figure flashed and excitedly pounced into Zhou Sui's arms. Her slender and tender hands hugged Zhou Sui's neck, like a koala hanging on him.

"Bai Suje, you're playing with fire."

Zhou Sui looked at Bai Suje and felt the bloodline in his body trembling. It seemed that the aura of the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox on Bai Suje was becoming more intense, blending with his own aura.

It was like the fusion of Yin and Yang, the unity of Yin and Yang.

The blood and qi in his body boiled like molten lava.

This was an instinct from his bloodline, something he couldn't control.

"Is that so? Why can't I feel your fiery aura?" Bai Suje giggled, her breath fragrant like orchids.

She provocatively looked at Zhou Sui, clearly being a bit reckless.

In fact, she was also like this, seemingly unable to control the impulse of the Golden-Furred Jade-Faced Fox bloodline.

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

Swoosh!

In an instant, Zhou Sui instantly held Bai Suje and entered the bedroom of the estate.

The entire estate was instantly enveloped by a formation, forming a barrier.

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

After all, this was their sweet time together, and no one could interfere.

...

At this moment, the many teachers of the Eighty-Eight Dao Academy naturally sensed the dissipation of the calamity clouds in the sky. They immediately knew that the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation had also completely ended.

Their faces were filled with ecstatic joy.

Because they sensed that the aura on Bai Suje's body not only did not disappear, but also became stronger.

Obviously, Bai Suje had advanced to the Void Refining stage and successfully crossed the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

"Haha, success! President Bai has finally succeeded, crossed the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, and from now on, she will be a Void Refining cultivator. Our Eighty-Eight Dao Academy will also welcome a Void Refining President. This is really great."

A teacher laughed heartily, extremely delighted.

She couldn't describe how excited she was at this moment.

In the past three days, she had been on edge, fearing that President Bai would fail in Transcending Tribulation and perish.

After all, there were too many Soul Formation cultivators who died under the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

No one could be sure if they could cross it.

Now that she saw Bai Suje successfully Transcending Tribulation and becoming a Void Refining cultivator, she finally felt relieved.

"The Void Refining Thunder Tribulation is really terrifying."

"Even though we are not the ones Transcending Tribulation, just watching from the side made us tremble with fear."

"Isn't that right? It lasted for three days and three nights. We don't even know how many calamity thunderbolts descended. Even if a random calamity thunderbolt struck me, I'm afraid it could kill me instantly."

"No wonder there are so many Soul Formation cultivators, but only one in ten thousand can truly pass. Now I understand why. Such terrifying Thunder Tribulation, who can survive it?"

"I thought President Bai would also die under the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, but I'm glad to see that he has successfully passed it."

Many teachers from the academies were deeply moved.

During these three days, they hardly had any rest, constantly paying attention to the situation of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

After all, the success or failure of this Void Refining Thunder Tribulation was closely related to the future of the Eighty-Eight Academy.

If they failed, the Eighty-Eight Academy would decline.

But if they succeeded, the Eighty-Eight Academy would soar.

Obviously, their future would soar now, and they would receive a lot of support from the government.

"Now that President Bai has successfully advanced to Void Refining, why don't we go and congratulate him? It's better to avoid President Bai saying that we don't know etiquette," a teacher suggested, wanting to congratulate Bai Suje on his promotion to Void Refining.

"Well, let's not go for now."

"The manor where President Bai is located has been enveloped by formations and completely closed."

"Obviously, President Bai doesn't want us to disturb him for now."

"In fact, it's normal. After all, just after Transcending Tribulation, his body may have been seriously injured by the Thunder Tribulation. President Bai wants to heal his injuries as soon as possible. Where would he have time to receive us?"

"You're right. Since President Bai needs to seclude himself to heal his injuries, let's not disturb him for now. We can go and congratulate him when he truly comes out of seclusion."

"That's true."

Many teachers from the academies nodded in agreement.

They also understood Bai Suje's current situation. After all, how could his body not be injured after experiencing such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation? He must be secluding himself to heal his injuries.

Many cultivators who had just advanced to Void Refining were the same. Bai Suje was probably the same.

Little did they know that the famous President Bai was currently comprehending the Yin and Yang Great Dao with his Dao companion.

Naturally, he didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders.

...

Phoenix Stream City Lord's Mansion.

Tao Qili, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and others were dealing with government affairs. They were the first to sense the news that the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation had stopped, and a smile appeared on their faces.

"It turns out that Su Jie has successfully passed the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation and advanced to Void Refining."

Tao Qili was overjoyed.

She sensed that the aura of the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation in the distance had completely disappeared, indicating that Bai Suje had passed the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation.

To be honest, even though she had been confident and believed that this Transcending Tribulation would be smooth sailing, it was not a hundred percent certain.

The future revealed by divination might not necessarily happen.

There could be variables.

Only after the facts came out could everything be determined and there would be no more changes.

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

"I told you earlier that Su Jie is a symbol of great fortune and there won't be any problems. You were worried before, which was really unnecessary."

Hua Siqing chuckled and a joyful smile appeared on her face.

"Hehe, I didn't know I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night."

"You used to love sleeping in, didn't you?"

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

Tao Qili looked at this woman who was saying one thing but meaning another, clearly more worried than anyone else, but pretending not to care, completely indifferent.

"I can't sleep. So what? I'm a Void Refining cultivator. What's wrong with not sleeping for a few days? I can go without sleep for a year."

Hua Siqing stubbornly refused to admit that she was worried.

"Now that Su Jie has successfully advanced to Void Refining, why don't we go and congratulate her?"

Shi Yuxi made her suggestion.

"No rush. Su Jie has just advanced to Void Refining and her body is injured. She still needs some time to recuperate and consolidate her cultivation in the Void Refining realm."

Tao Qili waved her hand. She wasn't so reckless.

She remembered when she crossed the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation herself, she was struck by the Thunder Tribulation for three days and three nights, almost exhausted. How could she have the mood to receive other guests? She wanted to seclude herself and heal her injuries, consolidate her cultivation.

"You're right. It's true that after successfully Transcending Tribulation, some time is needed for cultivation."

"It seems that we also need to prepare a gift to give to Su Jie."

Shi Yuxi nodded.

She also felt that she had been a little reckless and almost forgot how difficult it was for a Soul Formation cultivator to Transcend Tribulation.

It was already remarkable to be able to pass the Thunder Tribulation without any harm.

It was impossible to pass the Thunder Tribulation unscathed.

Meanwhile, the entire Phoenix Stream City, many Void Refining families were also the first to learn of this matter.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Bai would actually successfully advance to Void Refining."

"Although she is the Human Emperor's daughter, it is said that she is also an unfavored daughter and has not been given many cultivation resources."

"But even so, she was able to successfully Transcend Tribulation and advance to Void Refining."

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

A Void Refining Patriarch sighed.

He remembered the price he had paid and the resources he had used to barely advance to the early stage of Void Refining.

But now, Bai Suje, the Human Emperor's daughter, is only about two thousand years old, and she has successfully advanced to Void Refining. Her cultivation speed is truly astonishing.

Compared to her, he was already living on borrowed time.

There's really no comparison between people, the gap is too wide.

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

"The City Lord, the Sutra Pavilion Master, the Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Dark Department, and others are all her elders."

"On the surface, it seems like they haven't given any help."

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

"Who knows if these elders have given her any benefits."

"I think they definitely have, otherwise how could she advance to Void Refining."

Another Void Refining Patriarch sneered.

It's really something for this Human Emperor's daughter to claim that her cultivation is all due to her own efforts.

In the end, she still relies on the support of her elders.

Even if the Human Emperor didn't support her, she still has a bunch of elders by her side, which is an amazing resource.

No ordinary commoner can compare.

But there's nothing that can be done about it, it's also something that can't be envied. Who asked her to be reborn?

Her talent in this aspect is top-notch.

"Regardless, Fellow Daoist Bai is already a Void Refining cultivator, on the same level as us."

"Even if she's not the Human Emperor's daughter, just having this level of cultivation makes her an important figure in Phoenix Stream City."

"In that case, we must remind our younger generations not to continue harassing Fellow Daoist Bai."

"That's true. If Fellow Daoist Bai was still a Soul Formation cultivator, our descendants could still actively pursue her. But now that she's a Void Refining cultivator, the status is unequal. Continuing to pursue her would be like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh."

"It is said that Fellow Daoist Bai already has a Dao companion, and it seems that the other party is an Ascension cultivator, also a teacher at the Dao Academy, only five or six hundred years old, and a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator."

"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Bai is really robbing the cradle, actually finding a young person who is only five or six hundred years old. No wonder she doesn't look at our descendants. It turns out she likes younger people."

"But this kid is really lucky. He was actually chosen by Fellow Daoist Bai. It's like a phoenix perching on a branch. In the future, he might become the son-in-law of the Human Emperor, a nobleman."

"Becoming a nobleman might not necessarily be a good thing. The royal rules are strict, and it's not easy to endure."

Many Void Refining Patriarchs discussed.

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

Because they were no longer on the same level.

Among the many Soul Formation cultivators, there are only a few who can truly become Void Refining cultivators.

If they dare to pursue and harass Void Refining cultivators, they would probably be killed without any punishment.

Of course, if a Void Refining cultivator pursues a Soul Formation cultivator, it's different. They can do it, but you can't.

This is the power of the strong, the weak have little power.

They can only be cautious.

"But Fellow Daoist Bai's talent is astonishing. She advanced to Soul Formation at the age of only two thousand. Moreover, she is a princess. In the future, she might have a chance to contend for the position of the Human Emperor."

"This is too exaggerated. She is a woman, how can she contend for the position of the Human Emperor?"

"That's right, not to mention there are many talented princes among the Human Emperor's children."

"Foolish, we cultivators naturally respect the strong. Whether you are a man or a woman, whoever has higher cultivation is the Human Emperor. Strength is the true hard truth."

"We're getting ahead of ourselves. Fellow Daoist Bai is only a Void Refining cultivator now. We don't even know how far she is from the Mahayana realm. Let's see if she has the opportunity to advance to Body Integration. Only by becoming a great power in Body Integration will she have the qualifications to talk about going further."

"That's right, we should prepare some gifts as a congratulatory gift for Fellow Daoist Bai's advancement to Void Refining. We can't lose our manners."

Many Void Refining Patriarchs' eyes flickered, and they smiled meaningfully.
