Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 4801: Let’s See How It Goes

Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The faint, resonant sound of lightning tribulations echoed throughout the heavens, day after day, keeping everyone on edge with its persistent thunder and flashes. A day passed, then two, yet the relentless sound of lightning continued, with three powerful bolts striking down every single day. After each set of three bolts, there would be a tense pause until the dawn of the next day. Three days bled into five, and those who had initially presumed Feng Jiu would quickly succumb were now utterly surprised by her enduring resilience.

Feng Jiu’s ascension lightning tribulation was notably different from Mo Chen’s. It mirrored the pattern of Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s trial from back then: only three bolts of lightning descended each day, with each successive bolt proving more powerful and devastating than the last.

Seeing that Feng Jiu had already endured a staggering 49 bolts of lightning and was still sitting there, cross-legged and seemingly unharmed, the Four Great Emperors of the Upper Immortal Realm couldn’t help but descend into a state of growing panic.

"How can this be? We have clearly strengthened the power of the lightning tribulation and the lightning bolts," one of them exclaimed, pacing anxiously in the hall with his hands clasped behind his back. "So how can she still hold on?" His voice was laced with disbelief and frustration.

"Could she really be the Phoenix Star of Destiny? Does she truly possess such an extraordinary destiny?" another Emperor worriedly mused aloud. Feng Jiu’s strength was undeniably immense, and her luck seemed incredibly profound. If she genuinely succeeded in ascending, would there ever be any peace in the future? At that point, it would likely be a never-ending, brutal conflict.

"Have you forgotten?" a third Great Emperor interjected, frowning, his voice calm yet serious. "She has the ancient Blue Lotus inside her. I’ve noticed that after being tempered by the lightning tribulation every day, she is enveloped in a distinct green aura, and a blue lotus symbol appears clearly between her eyebrows.

According to ancient rumors, this Blue Lotus is the leader of the four great lotuses and possesses the extraordinary ability to quickly repair the body. I estimate that her ability to hold on until now has everything to do with this Blue Lotus." After a moment of thoughtful silence, he continued, "I think that simply increasing the raw power of the lightning tribulation and lightning strikes will not be enough to defeat her. On the contrary, if she can withstand it, her bones and muscles will only become even stronger, and her immortal body will only become more powerful in the future. I believe we have to approach this from an entirely different angle."

An Emperor who had been silent throughout the discussion pondered for a moment, then looked at the one who had just spoken. "Then, in your opinion, how should we proceed?" he inquired, seeking a concrete solution.

"How about we transform ourselves into clones and go deal with her directly?" the third Emperor proposed. "Only we, with our combined might, can truly deal with her. Otherwise, looking across the entire Immortal Realm, there is no one who can genuinely be her opponent. If we can’t change her personality and trajectory now, then if she ascends successfully, it will inevitably lead to a fight to the death between us."

"If we send our clones, our power will be restricted," another Emperor immediately countered, shaking his head. "I’m afraid we won’t be able to effectively deal with her. Besides, the risk to our main bodies is far too great." He clearly refused the suggestion.

"That won’t work either? Then what do you suggest we do?" Upon hearing this immediate refusal, the Great Emperor, who was already feeling somewhat uncertain and agitated, became visibly irritable.

The group fell into a tense silence for a moment, each seemingly deep in thought, attempting to conjure a viable solution. After a long while, a glimmer appeared in one of their eyes. He spoke, a calculated tone in his voice: "How about this? She has already passed 49 lightning tribulations, but she still has 32 more to go before reaching the full 81. These remaining lightning tribulations are truly extraordinary. She may have been able to endure the current forty-nine, but she may not be able to endure the rest. Even if she can endure them, she will be utterly exhausted by then. We will wait for the very last lightning tribulation, and then combine the strength of the four of us to deliver her a heavy, decisive blow. What do you all think of this plan?"
