The Banana Leaf Fan, enveloped in a halo of innate divine light, plunged into the swirling chaos.
The surrounding environment shifted instantly. Ye Yun and the others saw the void transform into a chaotic form, its nature entirely indistinguishable. It resembled fluid streams of gray and white, inducing dizziness and even mental distress after prolonged observation.
Ye Yun immediately recognized the threat these sights posed to his disciples.
"Close your eyes now, cease observing the external environment."
"Understood."
The disciples, sensing the influence of the external sights, immediately sat down and adjusted their breathing.
Ye Yun gazed at the wondrous external phenomena, his mind racing.
"Banana Leaf Fan, is this the swirling chaos?"
"Master, it is. These currents can generally only be withstood by cultivators at the Main God level."
"I see, no wonder my disciples are in so much pain. Can you still hold on?"
"Heh, Master, ninth-tier divine artifacts can withstand these chaotic currents. As an innate divine treasure, I am perfectly fine."
"Excellent, continue charging!"
"Yes!"
The Banana Leaf Fan swung mightily, a gust of wind carrying the entire fan into the swirling chaos ahead.
The deeper they went into the currents, the more severely the spatial forces twisted.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a powerful lightning cloud appeared in the space ahead.
Within this lightning cloud, the Banana Leaf Fan appeared as tiny as a leaf boat in a vast ocean.
"Master, the spatial forces ahead have significantly increased. It seems this is no simple matter."
"Rest assured, I will assist you."
"Yes."
The Banana Leaf Fan continued to speed forward.
As if sensing its presence, divine lightning surged from the cloud, striking downwards.
These divine lightning bolts were immensely powerful; each strike was comparable to the attack of a Peak Main God.
"The Land of Chaos, truly a good place for trials."
Ye Yun smiled slightly and leaped into the air.
"Master!"
Seeing Ye Yun's movement, the female disciples cried out in alarm. This was within the swirling chaos, and leaving the Banana Leaf Fan was an extremely dangerous act.
"What is it? Are you afraid I'll be consumed by this cloud?"
Ye Yun looked at his disciples with a smile. Their evident concern for him filled him with satisfaction.
This feeling of being cared for, especially by a group of beautiful women, was enough to stir any man.
"All of you, prepare yourselves. This Master is about to turn the heavens and earth upside down and create the finest trial ground for you."
"Ah? A trial ground?"
"Indeed, utilizing this chaotic heavenly lightning."
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed. His Heavenly Sword materialized beneath his feet, carrying him into the lightning cloud.
"Rumble!"
Within the lightning cloud, thunder roared and lightning flashed rapidly.
The power of the chaotic heavenly lightning was far more potent than ordinary heavenly tribulation divine lightning, a testament to the marvels of creation.
"Heaven and Earth Great Shift!"
Ye Yun circulated the Heaven and Earth Great Shift divine art, guiding the chaotic heavenly lightning out of the cloud.
"Book of Earthly Emperor!"
"Absorb!"
The Book of Earthly Emperor manifested, absorbing a vast amount of chaotic heavenly lightning.
"Such immense power, is this the might of an innate divine treasure?"
"This chaotic heavenly lightning is also incredibly strong, even surpassing the heavenly tribulation lightning when we ascended."
"What kind of trial environment is Master preparing for us?"
The female disciples watched the Book of Earthly Emperor continuously absorb the chaotic heavenly lightning, their faces alight with excitement.
At this moment, seeing that the Book of Earthly Emperor had absorbed enough heavenly lightning, Ye Yun flew down on his Heavenly Sword.
Within the Book of Earthly Emperor, heavenly lightning rolled, a fearsome sight.
"Master!"
Seeing Ye Yun return, the female disciples were overjoyed.
"This journey to the Land of Chaos is fraught with peril. To enhance your survival capabilities, I have prepared to facilitate your comprehensive ascension."
As he spoke, Ye Yun extended his hand.
In his palm, the Bodhi Root grew rapidly, producing a multitude of Water Bodhi fruits.
"So much Water Bodhi, this is incredible!"
"This is the Bodhi Root, capable of growing all sorts of Bodhi fruits. I heard it grows from Master's blood."
"This is equivalent to Master bestowing his power upon us."
The female disciples looked at the Bodhi Root absorbing Ye Yun's blood with pained expressions.
"Don't look so glum. My disciples of Ye Yun should be full of vigor and spirit."
"Master, you have worked hard."
The female disciples bowed to Ye Yun.
"Heh, these are minor matters for this Master."
Ye Yun circulated his innate divine power, infusing it into the Bodhi Root. The Water Bodhi fruits detached from their branches and flew towards the disciples.
The disciples extended their hands, catching the Water Bodhi, their faces beaming with joy.
"Your tribulation ascension will take place within the Book of Earthly Emperor this time."
"Go."
With a thought from Ye Yun, the Book of Earthly Emperor opened, and the female disciples were all drawn into it.
Upon entering the Book of Earthly Emperor and arriving in a different space, the disciples looked out and saw Ye Yun appearing above the void, a half-body projection.
"Disciples, consume the Water Bodhi now and await my command!"
"Yes."
The female disciples sat cross-legged in the void, consuming the Water Bodhi.
Ye Yun's spiritual consciousness connected with the Book of Earthly Emperor, and the chaotic heavenly lightning contained within began to be released slowly.
The power of this heavenly lightning swirled above the disciples' heads, completely under Ye Yun's control.
"Now, I will use the chaotic heavenly lightning to stimulate your physical potential. Are you ready?"
"Yes, Master!"
Lin Xueyan and the other disciples responded solemnly, full of confidence.
Ye Yun nodded slightly and, with a thought, unleashed the chaotic heavenly lightning upon the eight women's heads.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
The power of the heavenly lightning entered their bodies, filling their meridians. The bodies of the eight women began to tremble rapidly.
This heavenly lightning power completely activated the cells in their bodies, and the divine energy within their meridians erupted.
"Ah!"
The eight women, using the power of the chaotic heavenly lightning, unleashed their latent potential and began to refine the Water Bodhi.
"Steady your minds, do not be hasty."
"Utilize the power of the heavenly lightning to refine the Water Bodhi!"
"Guide the power of the Bodhi into your meridians, return it to your Sea of Qi and Dantian, and open the path to ascension."
As Ye Yun guided them, especially for disciples like Lin Xueyan at the peak of the Star God level, the Water Bodhi had a more direct effect.
They were to advance to the Heavenly God level here; their success or failure hinged on this moment.
"Heavenly lightning surges!"
Ye Yun once again released the power of heavenly lightning from the Book of Earthly Emperor, infusing it into the disciples' bodies.
Lin Xueyan and the others' bodies began to undergo transformations.
Simultaneously, above the void, the power of the heavenly tribulation began to gather, and this was precisely what Ye Yun had been waiting for.
"It's finally here."
Sensing the power of the heavenly tribulation, a smile played on Ye Yun's lips. He was about to verify his idea.
"Chaotic heavenly lightning, heed my command!"
The Book of Earthly Emperor flew to the void before Ye Yun. Holding the Human Emperor Brush, Ye Yun pointed at the Book of Earthly Emperor...
