Chapter 1146 Xuanyu 2
Therefore, Jin Jiao seized the Starfall Grass that the original owner had painstakingly gathered. The original owner refused to yield, but was severely injured by Jin Jiao's husband, Sang Lin. If Tan You hadn't come, the original owner would have been forever buried at the place where Sang Lin had seriously injured her.

But now...

Tan You touched the water with her fingers, and the names of Sang Lin, Jin Jiao, and Jin Yan suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Don't worry, none of them will escape." Tan You looked up at the sky, as if she could see a sky full of stars through the dark sea.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, Sang Lin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and almost lost his balance. Jin Jiao quickly supported him: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Sang Lin clenched his fist, the stinging pain gone: "For some reason, I suddenly felt like I was being watched."

Jin Jiao spoke softly: "Your Highness, you are the esteemed Eighth Prince, with profound cultivation. Who would be so foolish as to target you?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it," Sang Lin said, feeling great after being flattered by Jin Jiao. He put his arm around Jin Jiao and walked into the back hall, where soon a burst of playful noises could be heard.

After six months of continuous travel, Tan You finally found a suitable cave dwelling. The original owner of this body was a merman, living in the sea. But Tan You wasn't; her previous stay in the sea to recuperate was out of necessity.

Now that she has fully recovered, she wanted to see the mainland. So, after much searching, Tan You finally settled on a deserted island.

To avoid attracting attention, Tan You set up almost all the formations on the deserted island, so outsiders could not see the island at all, and could only see the vast sea.

“It’s still better on land,” Tan You said, reclining on the rocks with her black fishtail dangling into the sea. She took a sip of wine and watched the full moon rise with contentment.

"The stars are so bright tonight." Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Tan You's eyes gradually deepened. She loosened her grip on the wine jug, which fell into the seabed and was quickly devoured by the fish.

As she watched, a star suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Tan You's fishtail. The fishtail lit up for a moment, then quickly lost its light and became inconspicuous again.

There was only a star's mark somewhere on the fish's tail.

"Hmm?" Coming back to her senses, Tan You realized something was wrong. She looked down at the fish tail, then looked up at the sky. After some deduction, Tan You smiled and said, "I understand."

The beauty system was already dumbfounded, and now that Tan You had said that, it immediately rushed over: "Host, what do you understand? Also, host, you have stars growing on your tail!"

"The original owner was considered a senior among the merfolk, but after so many years of cultivation, she only reached the fifth level, while those who hatched later than her have already reached the fifth level. Do you know why?"

Tan You didn't answer but asked a question in return. The beauty system shook its head. How would it know?
"Because the original owner's cultivation direction was wrong. The Xuanwei Merfolk need to rely on the power of stars for cultivation, rather than the cultivation method taught by their clan."

The beauty system seemed to understand it only vaguely, but seeing Tan You's spirited demeanor, it became happy too. After all, it was Tan You's little accessory; Tan You's happiness was its happiness.

Previously, Tan You really thought the original owner had low aptitude, but now, after accidentally attracting starlight into her body tonight, Tan You understands that the original owner has been taking the wrong path all these years.

However, the fact that he still managed to cultivate to the fifth level despite taking a detour shows that the original owner of this body was indeed very resilient.

Having decided on her future cultivation path, Tan You began a nocturnal lifestyle, spending each night on the rocks gazing at the stars for five years, successfully illuminating the entire sky. Just as she lit the last star, a star map suddenly appeared on her fishtail. The star map shimmered with starlight, a testament to Tan You's five years of diligent study.

At that moment, a dark cloud condensed above Tan You's head, thunder roared, and purple lightning rolled in the clouds, locking onto Tan You's surroundings with tribulation lightning.

Tan You's thoughts stirred, and the formation had already begun to activate. Seriously, have any mermaids ever undergone such a massive tribulation? Or is this tribulation lightning specifically targeting her?
Just as Tan You was undergoing her tribulation, powerful figures who had sensed the commotion began to converge on this sea area. Even while undergoing her tribulation, Tan You could feel countless people locking onto the area where she was located.

Tan You smiled slightly. If anyone dared to make a move, she wouldn't hesitate to make an example of them. Although she couldn't win in terms of raw strength, she had array formations. Indeed, mastering math, physics, and chemistry meant one could roam the cultivation world without fear.

"Purple tribulation lightning, which prodigy is undergoing tribulation?"

"They are the merfolk, the Black-tailed Merfolk?"

"Does the merfolk include black-tailed merfolk?"

"Yes, I've heard that the Xuanwei Merfolk have a difficult upbringing, and there are very few rumors about them. Moreover, the Xuanwei Merfolk don't appear in this world..."

"But in the limited rumors, the Xuanwei Merfolk can glimpse the secrets of heaven."

"Judging from her condition, what level of tribulation lightning is she facing?"

"Can we form a contract with her?"

Tan You gritted her teeth and endured the lightning tribulation. This cultivation world was the most annoying thing; every time she came, she would be struck by lightning. The purple tribulation lightning almost destroyed her entire body, but Tan You endured it all.

As the final bolt of lightning struck, Tan You was powerless to dodge it. Just as she was about to fight to the death, a star map slowly appeared on her black fish tail. The star map grew larger and larger, rising above Tan You's head until it completely enveloped her.

At that moment, the tribulation lightning struck the star map. The originally ethereal star map was not shattered by the fierce tribulation lightning. Instead, it completely absorbed all the energy of the tribulation lightning's descent, and not a single bit of energy dissipated into Tan You's body.

Instead of immediately regulating her breathing, Tan You quickly began forming hand seals. The powerful figures who had originally intended to use this opportunity to ambush or kidnap Tan You found themselves completely unable to move, utterly trapped within their respective realms.

No spells, magic tools, or forbidden techniques worked; they all fell into Tan You's formation like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

A shower of spiritual rain fell, but Tan You couldn't care less about the trapped prisoners. Instead, she used the spiritual rain to heal her injuries from the tribulation. Just as Tan You was almost finished healing, the Star Chart, which had just displayed its power, seemed to have finished absorbing the tribulation lightning. Soon, all the spiritual rain in the air was absorbed by it.

Tan You glared at him blankly: "Leave some for me too. Didn't you see me getting struck by lightning at all?"

"You little brat, you're so stingy. I only accepted a little bit of your spiritual rain." A childish yet pretentious voice rang out, and finally, the star map lifted a corner, letting some spiritual rain slip out for Tan You.

Tan You wiggled her tail, then looked at the star map hanging above her head and suddenly felt as if she had obtained something extraordinary.
What exactly is this thing? It's been attached to her tail for a while now?
It really is the world of cultivation; it has truly opened her eyes.
