This blood tribulation is far more dangerous than the first.
This is not only because the second tribulation was originally more terrifying than the first.
It is also because Xueyi's current cultivation is too weak.
If it weren't for the interference of the Snow King Palace, with Xueyi's talent, she would at least have entered the Quasi-Giant Spirit Realm by now, and there would even be a good chance of breaking through to the Giant Spirit Realm.
But now her cultivation is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and her condition is extremely weak.
This is also one of the reasons why Ling Fan was so enraged and directly annihilated the Snow King Palace.
The current plan.
One is to increase Xueyi's cultivation as much as possible.
Second, to prepare various means to cope with the tribulation as much as possible.
In addition, he also needs to improve his own strength as much as possible.
It would be best if he could condense the sixth blood pill before the second tribulation erupts.
Therefore, after entering the Four Symbols Sect, he and Xueyi immediately went into seclusion together.
Fortunately, with the foundation accumulated by the Snow King Palace over a thousand years, all of it benefited them as a couple.
Ten days later.
Ling Fan's sixth blood pill was condensed.
And Xueyi's cultivation, with the support of vast cultivation resources, successfully entered the Quasi-Giant Spirit Realm.
However, there is still a considerable gap from forming a spiritual power domain and truly entering the Giant Spirit Realm.
There is no hope of breaking through to the Giant Spirit Realm in a short period of time.
Lan Xueyi did not continue to strive for the Giant Spirit Realm, but began to slow down her cultivation pace and consolidate her foundation.
On the other hand, Ling Fan did not continue to cultivate the Nirvana Tribulation Body or condense blood pills.
Instead, he began to make various preparations.
For a time.
The massive cultivation resources of the Snow King Palace were consumed by Ling Fan like flowing water.
...
The place where the two were in seclusion has been designated as a forbidden area by the Four Symbols Sect.
Without Ling Fan's order, no one, including the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, Wu Zhi, was allowed to approach within a thousand feet.
During the time the two were in seclusion.
Wu Zhi's prestige reached its peak.
With Ling Fan, this towering tree, the Four Symbols Sect was subtly gaining the momentum to replace the Snow King Palace and contend with the Heavenly Cang Sect and the Crimson Dragon Hall.
Every day Wu Zhi opened his eyes.
There were endless visitors.
Those once unattainable true magnates of the Upper Heaven Realm.
Such as the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, Luo Yan, and his Supreme Elders.
The Valley Master of the Profound Frost Valley, Kai Yangzi, and the Grand Master of the Silver Feather Sect, Qi Heng.
Now they all came to his door, treating him with courtesy and respect.
Even the Heavenly Cang Sect and the Crimson Dragon Hall sent an elder and a third hall master respectively, bringing generous gifts to the Four Symbols Sect, giving Wu Zhi ample face.
These powerhouses, at least at the middle stage of the Giant Spirit Realm or above, saw him and addressed him as Sect Master Wu.
Wu Zhi felt extremely pleased, and a smile never left his face.
His vanity was satisfied as never before.
This made him feel like he was floating in the sky every day.
Even someone he did not expect came.
The Sect Master of the Soul Chasing Gate.
Duan Po.
In front of everyone.
Duan Po directly knelt on both knees before Wu Zhi.
"Sect Master Wu, I am here to confess my faults. I have offended you and the Four Symbols Sect many times before. I beg you to be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
"As a token of my apology, I have prepared a grand banquet at our Soul Chasing Gate and invited powerful figures from all sides to accompany us. At that time, I will sincerely apologize to you in front of all the strong individuals in the Upper Heaven Realm. I hope you will grace us with your presence."
Duan Po lowered his posture to the lowest possible level.
Seeing this Duan Po, who was similar in strength to him and often opposed him, now kneeling before him so subserviently, Wu Zhi became even more arrogant.
Therefore.
Wu Zhi did not think much and accepted Duan Po's invitation.
He went to the Soul Chasing Gate.
He did not notice the cunning expression that flashed across Duan Po's face as he heard his agreement.
...
In the Soul Chasing Gate.
Wu Zhi swaggered in, his face beaming with pride, and walked into the Soul Chasing Gate.
"Little Duan, where are the strong individuals you invited? Where is your Soul Chasing Gate's banquet of apology? This Sect Master has already arrived!"
Duan Po smiled and said, "Please come in!"
A sinister light flashed in his eyes.
Wu Zhi did not pay attention.
The moment he entered the main hall of the Soul Chasing Gate.
Bang!
The door of the hall instantly closed tightly.
At the same time.
Heavy spiritual power domains were unleashed, each far surpassing his, as if setting up a dense net.
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Wu Zhi's face showed astonishment, and he looked at Duan Po, the Sect Master of the Soul Chasing Gate, "What are you doing! How dare you scheme against me! Do you know who is behind me? That Ling Venerable who destroyed the Snow King Palace! Just you wait, if I don't return to the Four Symbols Sect in a few days, Ling Venerable will surely come to your Soul Chasing Gate to demand my return. I doubt your insignificant Soul Chasing Gate can withstand a single finger from Ling Venerable!"
"Or do you think your Soul Chasing Gate is stronger than the Snow King Palace? Even the Snow King Palace was annihilated like ants before Ling Venerable, let alone your insignificant Soul Chasing Gate. I advise you not to make a mistake!"
After a brief moment of panic.
Wu Zhi regained his composure and said with full confidence.
"Heh heh, Wu Zhi, look who this is."
Duan Po of the Soul Chasing Gate let out a cold laugh.
He bent down and made a gesture of invitation.
Immediately, the void fluctuated, and spiritual power ripples spread out like water waves, and figures appeared one after another.
Every time a person appeared.
It made Wu Zhi's pupils contract.
Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, Luo Yan.
And his Supreme Elders.
Valley Master of the Profound Frost Valley, Kai Yangzi.
Grand Master of the Silver Feather Sect, Qi Heng.
Palace Master of the Evil Moon Palace.
...
Even...
Wu Zhi's heart pounded wildly, almost exploding.
A figure with a terrifying aura appeared.
That was...
The Hall Master of the Crimson Dragon Hall.
The Crimson Dragon King, one of the supreme giants of the Upper Heaven Realm.
After the Crimson Dragon King.
Another figure, no weaker than him, and even stronger, appeared.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Cang Sect, Tian Cangzi!
Two Great Accomplishment Martial Kings!
Wu Zhi's confidence was instantly shattered.
Plop.
He knelt down decisively before the Crimson Dragon King and Tian Cangzi.
"This humble one, Wu Zhi, pays respects to Crimson Dragon King and Heavenly Cang Martial King!"
"Wu Zhi, you've been quite high-profile recently."
The Crimson Dragon King snorted coldly.
Wu Zhi was so scared that his whole body felt like it was plunged into an ice cellar. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Lord Crimson Dragon King, please do not mock this humble one. This little prestige of mine is nothing compared to you! I don't know where I have offended you lords to warrant such a display. You have frightened this humble one to death!"
"You, the mere Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect, are certainly not worth us going to such lengths."
"You know why we are here."
"This... this humble one does not know." Wu Zhi said with extreme bitterness.
"Still pretending to be ignorant!"
The Crimson Dragon King's eyes shot out terrifying cold light. With a single finger, a terrifying blood-red spiritual power dragon roared and blasted onto Wu Zhi, causing him to spit blood wildly and his body to slam heavily against the hall.
"Tell us everything you know about that Ling Fan."
"Also, I heard that this person's wife has an extremely rare ancient physique, the Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body. This physique will face nine life-threatening tribulations, each more terrifying than the last. Therefore, this woman was abandoned by the Snow King Palace. When will this woman's next death tribulation erupt? I want you to find out."
