Chapter 561 - 568: Liu Lan Yi Awakens the White Tiger Bloodline

Song Wanning was quite generous, giving her the entire batch of Elixir Pills.

As for She Yi...

He was still with her clone, scouring the area for medicinal herbs.

She had also learned about Gong Ye’s situation from her clone. Apparently, some chaos had erupted in the Hundred Demons Palace, and he’d been spending the past few days putting things back in order.

In a fit of rage, Gong Ye had smashed more than half of the Hundred Demons Palace. To vent his anger further, he paid a visit to the Snake Clan and got into a major conflict with them.

The alliance they were planning fell through as a result, and now the Hundred Demons Palace and the Snake Clan were hostile toward one another.

She just didn’t know when the conflict would truly erupt.

Song Wanning was very pleased to hear this news.

’I don’t know if the prisoners escaped, but being able to infuriate Gong Ye like this made all my scheming worthwhile.’

Still, to be safe, she planned to take her Martial Aunt back to the Ancient Cold Sect. The Southern Domain was safer; staying in the territory of the Demon Race would always carry great risks.

As she was pondering this, a sudden fluctuation of demonic power caught her attention.

Song Wanning focused her gaze and saw that her aunt was about to advance!!!

She shot to her feet and signaled for the Fox Demon to be quiet.

The Fox Demon also realized that Liu Lan Yi was about to advance, and a look of envy appeared in her eyes.

’When will it be my turn to advance?’

As the two watched, Liu Lan Yi slowly opened her eyes. A gleam of light flashed deep within them before quickly vanishing.

She nodded at Song Wanning, then flew out of the cave and into the distance.

In that same instant, the Heavenly Dao locked onto her, and tribulation clouds began to gather.

Song Wanning’s expression changed. She told the Fox Demon not to wander off and then followed after her.

’At this moment, I’m so glad I chose a cave this far from the Hundred Demons Palace.’

’Otherwise, the moment the tribulation began, Gong Ye would have surely sensed it. That would have been truly dangerous.’

Still, she didn’t dare let her guard down. She began using her spiritual pressure to drive away the surrounding Demon Cultivators and demon beasts, lest any of them try to take advantage of the chaos.

Liu Lan Yi quickly found a desolate area and began to face her tribulation.

Demon Cultivators have an instinctual fear of tribulations, but since Liu Lan Yi was also of the Human Clan, she was relatively calm. All she had to do was give it her all.

To her surprise, however, this Heavenly Tribulation was incredibly powerful, carrying the momentum to strike her dead where she stood.

Liu Lan Yi’s heart sank, but she could only brace herself and face the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

Song Wanning watched from a distance, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw how powerful the Heavenly Tribulation was.

’This tribulation is so menacing. It doesn’t look friendly at all.’

’Could it be because Auntie has awakened her bloodline?’

She furrowed her brow and took out several vials of Elixir Pills, clutching them in her hand. The moment her aunt needed them, she would toss them over.

’It’s risky, but I have no other choice. I have to at least try. I can’t just stand by and watch something happen to her.’

BOOM—

The tribulation lightning fell, one bolt after another, striking Liu Lan Yi with its full power and blasting the surrounding vegetation to cinders.

The air was filled with the smell of burning and the CRACKLING of lightning.

Liu Lan Yi was struck down again and again. Soon, she was coughing up blood, unable to climb out of the deep crater she’d fallen into.

By tossing a vial of Elixir Pills, Song Wanning took a risk and drew the immediate attention of the Heavenly Tribulation.

In that instant, the fine hairs on her head stood on end as she was locked onto by the dangerous lightning.

But as if sensing Song Wanning’s aura, the lightning, which had descended menacingly, merely swirled gently around her before flowing into the ground and vanishing.

The hem of her dress fluttered for a moment before settling, having not caused her the slightest harm.

Song Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, gave the Heavenly Dao a brilliant smile, and retreated back into the distance.

And with the nourishment of the High-Rank Elixir Pills, the exhausted Liu Lan Yi regained her strength.

Her eyes filled with determination; she knew that as long as she passed this Heavenly Tribulation, her future would change completely.

BOOM—

The tribulation lightning fell once more, completely engulfing her.

Song Wanning watched from afar, a touch of worry in her heart.

Though the lightning fell with incredible speed, in her eyes, each moment seemed to stretch on for an eternity.

Finally, the last bolt of tribulation lightning came crashing down with an overwhelming force that threatened to annihilate everything.

Song Wanning’s expression was tense. She stared intently at the crater, her fists clenched.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Suddenly, the tribulation lightning scattered, and a rainbow-hued light descended from the sky.

’She succeeded!!!!’

The weight on Song Wanning’s heart was finally lifted, and she couldn’t help but break into a smile.

’Watching someone else go through a tribulation is even more nerve-wracking than going through one yourself!’

Thankfully, her aunt had succeeded.

In the crater, Liu Lan Yi’s shattered body, nourished by the rainbow-hued light, recovered at a miraculous speed. In just a few moments, she was completely healed.

However, the Cultivation within her body was still rising, finally stopping at the Mid-stage Soul Emergence realm.

She looked inward at her Dantian, where a faint, phantom image of a White Tiger floated!

This was her awakened bloodline.

’Who would have thought that my ancestors possessed a trace of the White Tiger Bloodline...’

’Even though it’s faint, its potential is limitless and will be of immense benefit to my cultivation.’

The corners of Liu Lan Yi’s lips curved upward.

’In just one short month, my world has been turned upside down, and it was all thanks to my martial niece!’

’I silently swear that I will definitely repay Song Wanning, help her, and protect her!’

Masking the glint in her eyes, Liu Lan Yi rose and flew out of the crater toward the waiting Song Wanning.

The two exchanged a smile and immediately left the volatile area.

’With such a huge commotion, other Demon Cultivators are bound to come and investigate soon. It isn’t wise to linger.’

After they had traveled some distance, Song Wanning asked Liu Lan Yi if she had awakened her bloodline.

"My ancestors might have some connection to the Divine Beast White Tiger."

Liu Lan Yi said with a proud smile.

’That was the Divine Beast White Tiger, after all!’

"Really?"

Song Wanning was overjoyed. Her aunt had actually awakened a divine beast’s bloodline; that was simply incredible.

’No wonder her Cultivation increased so rapidly. Even I’m impressed.’

"But the bloodline probably isn’t pure."

Liu Lan Yi said humbly, brushing a strand of hair back from her face.

’Does this count as me impersonating a descendant of a divine beast?’

They exchanged a look and burst out laughing.

After a moment, Song Wanning spoke up. "Auntie, how about I take you back to the Ancient Cold Sect now?"

"Master misses you terribly. She’ll be overjoyed to see you!"

At the mention of Leng Qingzhu, a gentle light filled Liu Lan Yi’s eyes, and her expression softened considerably.

’She missed her Senior Sister, too. Very, very much!’

But she couldn’t go back yet.

"Wan Ning, I can’t go back just yet. There’s something very important I still have to do!"

Liu Lan Yi then told Song Wanning the reason why Gong Ye had imprisoned her.

"That thing... I have to get it. And even if I can’t, I must destroy it!"

"I absolutely cannot let Gong Ye get what he wants!!!"

Liu Lan Yi was one to hold a grudge. Since Gong Ye had gone to such great lengths for that item, she was determined not to let it fall into his hands.

Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in Song Wanning’s eyes.

’That suited her perfectly!’
