Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1466 Murong Yuyao Advances to the Great Ascension Stage
When Liu Changxu arrived, his wife, Murong Yuyao, was already standing on the mountaintop. Her plain white Taoist robe fluttered slightly in the mountain breeze, and she was surrounded by a faint spiritual light. In the instant their eyes met across the distance, without saying a word, their eyes were filled with deep affection and concern that transcended the years.

"Yuyao, when you are undergoing tribulation, no matter how violent the thunder is, you must keep your mind steady."

Liu Changxu transmitted his voice using spiritual power, his voice steady yet filled with undisguised concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand."

Murong Yuyao responded with a gentle telepathic message, her tone soft yet conveying an unwavering determination.

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky was completely swallowed by dark, inky clouds, plunging the world into darkness. Flickering lightning flashed deep within the clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled across the horizon, as if a colossal beast lurked within, brewing a destructive force.

"Boom——!"

A deafening roar tore through the sky, and a silver divine lightning bolt as thick as a bucket burst through the clouds like an angry dragon, carrying an overwhelming and unstoppable pressure of heaven and earth, and with dazzling light, it crashed straight down on Murong Yuyao at the peak!

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Murong Yuyao's expression hardened, and the spiritual light around her suddenly surged like the blazing sun. Her internal magic power surged and churned, and a silver flying sword, pure white with the phantom of a snow lotus flowing around it, burst out of her body, carrying a chilling light, and headed straight for the silver tribulation lightning that crashed down.

This was her natal innate spiritual treasure, the Snow Lotus Ice Soul Sword. The sword was imbued with profound ice energy, capable of drawing upon the coldest power of heaven and earth, specifically designed to counter thunder and flames.

The flying sword transformed into a silver rainbow, slashing upwards and colliding violently with the crashing silver lightning.

"Boom—!" A deafening roar resounded through the sky. The moment the tribulation lightning collided with the flying sword, violent energy exploded in all directions, and the silver sea of ​​lightning surged like a tide, instantly engulfing Murong Yuyao's figure.

Just as the sea of ​​thunder was about to engulf her, a delicate and exquisite silver pagoda suddenly appeared above her head.

The pagoda was layered upon layered, its body shrouded in a light mist of ice, with thousands of silver streaks of light hanging down, like an umbrella protecting her firmly within.

The sea of ​​lightning crashed into the pagoda's light screen, stirring up countless silver arcs, but it could never penetrate that seemingly thin and fragile barrier, and could only thrash and roar in vain outside.

Murong Yuyao stood quietly at the foot of the tower, her plain clothes fluttering in the surging winds of the thunderous sea, her hair flying wildly, but her expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

Seeing her like this, Liu Changxu finally felt much relieved.

Among his dozens of wives, Murong Yuyao was not the most outstanding in terms of cultivation aptitude, but she was good at calming her mind. No matter the circumstances, she could always calm down and hone her cultivation step by step. She was never eager for quick success and never wavered in her Dao heart because of setbacks.

It is this calm and unwavering mindset that has allowed her to steadily progress on her long path of cultivation, ultimately achieving what she has today. Once she safely passes through this tribulation, she will be able to advance to the Mahayana stage and become a top powerhouse in this universe.

Before the residual power of the first tribulation lightning had dissipated, a deafening roar resounded in the sky, even louder than before, as if thousands of war drums were beating simultaneously deep in the clouds.

The dark, gloomy clouds churned violently, and an even thicker bolt of silver lightning tore through the sky, carrying an even more violent pressure from heaven and earth, and crashed down.

Murong Yuyao's eyes narrowed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. With a light flick of her wrist, her inner power surged like a raging river, and the second Snow Lotus Ice Soul Sword shot forth from her body, carrying a chilling gleam. It flew alongside the previous sword, heading straight for the descending silver tribulation lightning. The two swords intertwined, drawing two graceful arcs in the air. Snow lotus phantoms bloomed on the swords, and the extreme cold condensed into frost, colliding with the violent lightning of the tribulation lightning, unleashing a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, the third, the fourth... tribulation lightning struck one after another, each one thicker and more terrifying than the last.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to transform into a thunder pool, with countless silver snakes dancing wildly. Every bolt of tribulation lightning seemed poised to shatter the entire Ascension Peak into dust.

Murong Yuyao remained calm, her hands constantly shifting through incantations. With a soft shout, more Snow Lotus Ice Soul Swords flew out from her body—one, two… until thirty-six flying swords hovered in the air, forming an impenetrable sword net. Above the sword net, layers of snow lotus phantoms overlapped, emanating a chilling aura capable of freezing the heavens and earth, blocking and shattering the bolts of tribulation lightning.

When the eighty-first tribulation lightning, the most powerful purple tribulation lightning, crashed down with earth-shattering might, Murong Yuyao suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a crystal-clear lotus flower.

The lotus was pure white, its petals adorned with tiny ice crystals; it was none other than her natal innate spiritual treasure, the Snow Jade Ice Heart Lotus. As the lotus bloomed, it emitted a soft yet resilient aura, forming a solid defensive barrier together with the thirty-six flying swords.

At the same time, the Ice Soul Silver Spirit Tower above her head suddenly expanded, with runes flowing across its body and thousands of silver light threads hanging down to protect her in the center.

Lightning arcs surged wildly across the sword net and lotus light, emitting a hissing sound, and the violent energy impacted every magical treasure. Murong Yuyao's lips spilled a trickle of blood, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered, pouring all her magical power into the magical treasures without reservation.

Ultimately, with the protection of numerous innate spiritual treasures, Murong Yuyao successfully survived the Great Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

Just as the last lightning bolt dissipated, the inner demon tribulation, which terrified countless high-level cultivators, quietly arrived.

Murong Yuyao had just breathed a sigh of relief when she felt a sharp pain in her mind, and the scene before her suddenly changed. The clear sky turned gray, and Ascension Peak disappeared, replaced by a familiar courtyard. The frustration of failing to break through during her cultivation, the contempt and ridicule of others, the trepidation when she first met Liu Changxu... scene after scene flooded into her mind like a tide, carrying sharp mockery and temptation.

"You've come this far thanks to your husband. You're already fortunate to have reached this level. Don't force things..."

A cold voice whispered in her mind, trying to shake her resolve.

Murong Yuyao's pupils contracted slightly, but she instantly regained her composure. She took a deep breath, and the illusory image of the Snow Jade Ice Heart Lotus quietly bloomed in her sea of ​​consciousness, emitting a cool spiritual light that cleansed away all the chaotic thoughts.

The illusions of her inner demons continued to shift, but thanks to the protection of the Snow Jade Ice Heart Lotus, they could no longer shake her in the slightest.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, her gaze was clear and her Dao heart was even more pure and refined.

At the instant the inner demon tribulation was dispelled, a gap suddenly appeared in the clouds in the sky, and colorful rays of light poured down, accompanied by glistening drops of lightning tribulation rain, falling like sweet dew.

Bathed in the rain and dew bestowed by heaven and earth, Murong Yuyao was enveloped in a soft halo. The injuries she sustained while resisting the heavenly tribulation healed at a visible speed, and beneath her tattered robes, her skin was as radiant as ever. Even more astonishingly, the magical power within her surged like a mighty river, and her aura rose at an astonishing rate, breaking through all barriers from the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage to firmly settle at the early stage of the Mahayana realm.

As the last drop of rain settled between her brows, Murong Yuyao slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze was restrained, yet she possessed a serene air that seemed to survey all living beings. The Mahayana aura surrounding her was subtle yet undeniable, neither ostentatious nor easily ignored.

Thus, she truly broke free from her cocoon and transformed into a butterfly, advancing to the Mahayana stage and standing at the pinnacle of cultivation in this world. From then on, a vast new world awaited her.
