Chapter 1701: Chapter 1701: Mingyue
Several hours later, the sky had turned dark.
At this moment, bolts of lightning as thick as fingers suddenly descended from the cloud of tribulation swirling atop Black Tortoise Peak, illuminating the entire world with their dazzling light.
A young woman sitting cross-legged on the summit had a solemn expression, her demeanor serious, with both hands resting on her knees, surrounded by a thick layer of Water Spirit Qi, enduring the bolts of lightning crashing down from the sky.
These lightning bolts could split steel and shatter rocks, terrifying in power. The young woman gritted her silver teeth and resisted them, while the Spirit Qi Shield around her was repeatedly nearly shattered by the heavenly tribulation, yet she forced it to condense again to protect her body.
At times, strands of lightning penetrated through the Spirit Qi Shield, striking directly at her body. Fortunately, she bore an Innate Spiritual Root, possessing a formidable physical body, so she was not killed by the lightning, but was still left in a sorry state, covered in blood, with her skin torn and flesh lacerated.
Thankfully, the young woman possessed an Innate Water Spirit Root, granting her body powerful self-healing abilities. The injuries she sustained would heal in no time, visibly mending before one’s eyes.
After arduously passing through two hours, the lightning above her disappeared, the tribulation clouds dispersed, and the young woman had successfully passed the heavenly tribulation. Googlᴇ search novelꜰire.net
“What a close call! But finally, I have safely passed the tribulation and officially advanced to the Thunder Tribulation Realm!”
The young woman, with a slightly whimsical nature, became exceptionally excited after passing the lightning tribulation, jumping up and down on the peak, laughing and frolicking by herself.
A moment later, the young woman used her Water Spirit Qi to condense water and cleanse her body.
At this moment, she stood on the peak, bare in the cold wind without a stitch of clothing.
Her skin was as fair and smooth as suet jade, flawless and pristine.
Her silky long hair cascaded past her waist, erratically flying in the wind like a black elf.
Her eyes, with a clear distinction between black and white, sparkled like stars and moonlight, and her cheeks flushed with a faint blush due to excitement, her tender and rosy little mouth opened wide, cheering for her success.
After a long while, she donned a black dress, admired her slender and graceful figure narcissistically, smiled in satisfaction, and then descended the mountain peak.
“Congratulations on advancing, Junior Sister Mingyue.”
“Junior Sister Mingyue is now a Thunder Tribulation Expert!”
“In just a few short years since arriving at Black Tortoise Island, you have advanced from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Junior Sister Mingyue is truly the greatest genius in the history of our Black Tortoise Sect!”
“It’s said there are many remarkable women on the Eastern Desolate Continent, but compared to Junior Sister Mingyue, they all pale in comparison!”
“In my heart, Junior Sister Mingyue is the best!”
When the young woman descended to the foot of Black Tortoise Peak, several disciples of the Black Tortoise Sect, who had been guarding her, were overjoyed and rushed forward to congratulate her.
Hearing the waves of compliments, the young woman, unfazed, cheerfully cupped her hands and said, “Thank you, senior brothers, for your diligent protection. Mingyue is deeply grateful.”
“Junior Sister Mingyue is too kind!”
“We are more than willing to protect Junior Sister Mingyue!”
“We are fellow disciples, meant to help each other. No need to mention ‘thanks’ again!”
“Exactly, if Junior Sister Mingyue keeps being so polite, we’ll get angry!”
The young woman named “Mingyue” smiled sweetly, her eyes turning as she said to her senior brothers, “You all treat Mingyue so well, Mingyue feels overwhelmed! How about this, once I meet the Supreme Elder, I’ll ask for some Spirit Pills and give each of you a bottle. What do you think?”
Among the senior brothers around Mingyue, some admired and secretly loved her, trying to be attentive, while others flattered her deliberately because she was the Supreme Elder’s direct disciple, hoping to gain some benefits.
Therefore, upon hearing Mingyue’s words, those who flattered her couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
It’s known that Xuanling Venerable, the Supreme Elder of Black Tortoise Sect, is not only a Thunder Tribulation expert of the fifth level but also an Alchemist capable of refining medium Royal Grade Spirit Pills, highly revered and unmatched in status in the vast Black Sea covering tens of thousands of miles.
And this Junior Sister Mingyue before them, fell from the sky a few years ago onto Black Tortoise Island, was noticed by the Supreme Elder due to her Innate Water Spirit Root, became a direct disciple, and was greatly favored, making her the most unique presence among the tens of thousands of disciples in the Black Tortoise Sect.
Nobody expected that since Mingyue joined the Black Tortoise Sect, her cultivation level soared at an unimaginable pace, and now she successfully passed the lightning tribulation, becoming the youngest Thunder Tribulation expert in the history of the Black Tortoise Sect.
This achievement was certainly credited to the teachings of the Supreme Elder and the sect’s abundant cultivation resources, but it mostly relied on Mingyue herself.
The leaders of Black Tortoise Sect all believed that Mingyue, having descended from the heavens, was a treasure bestowed upon their sect by the heavens, which led them to cherish and care for her even more, elevating Mingyue’s status within the sect to an almost transcendent level.
Mingyue is only in her twenties this year, and she appears even younger. Such a young and beautiful female martial artist, who is highly valued by the sect’s leadership, naturally becomes the object of admiration and secret love among many disciples of the Black Tortoise Sect.
But Mingyue’s whimsical nature caused some sons of the Black Tortoise Sect considerable headaches, especially those disciples who expressed their feelings hoping to become Martial Dao partners with her, facing much trouble from her.
Due to the Supreme Elder’s protection, those troubled disciples of the Black Tortoise Sect could only endure silently.
Thus, among those who suffered her troubles, Mingyue was dubbed the “Little Witch.”
Yet, in the eyes of other admirers and lovers, Mingyue remained an exquisite fairy-like figure.
After exchanging a few words with her senior brothers, Mingyue left together with them, disappearing into the night.
As for Fang Bai, who was quietly meditating not far away, no one paid attention to his presence.
“I never expected that this girl Mingyue would be on Black Tortoise Island. Hmm, her cultivation level is now even stronger than mine, perhaps she discovered the secrets I left on the summit of Black Tortoise Peak back then?”
Once Mingyue and her group had gone far, Fang Bai finally opened his eyes, looking in the direction she left, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
The Mingyue in question is naturally Baili Mingyue, the girl Fang Bai knew in the secular world, who bore the title of “Campus Witch.”
Fang Bai initially journeyed to the Eastern Desolate Continent sensing the presence of the sisters Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua, but unexpectedly encountered Baili Mingyue while passing over this island, which was a delightful surprise.
However, Fang Bai did not know who was now ruling Black Tortoise Island, and many experts coveting his Blood-Drinking Mad Blade were watching him, so he had to be cautious everywhere. Therefore, he did not rush to reveal himself to Baili Mingyue.
