My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

Although this is a secret realm, Zhou Yao's cultivation level has indeed increased dramatically.

After taking the Immortal Reversal Pill, he was forcibly raised from the first level of the Golden Core stage to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

This is equivalent to having the combat power of an empress. At least it saves hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.

Naturally, the calamity clouds were also real.

Before Zhou Yaoyun, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, her spiritual energy was sublimated and condensed into a golden bead, floating above her dantian.

Now, the dantian has become a world of colorful glow.

In this world, there is a woman who is naked, like a miniature version of Zhou Yaoyun, sitting cross-legged.

That is, the Nascent Soul.

(The settings regarding cultivation are all written by the third author himself; please do not compare them with other cultivation novels.)
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can activate an incredibly powerful skill: Nascent Soul Astral Projection.

The Nascent Soul is essentially a clone of the original body, possessing the original body's thoughts and skills, and can be summoned to assist in combat at crucial moments.

This is equivalent to giving the main body double the attack power.

Imagine this: both of them originally had a combat power of 100, but the other could separate their nascent soul from their body, causing their combat power to soar to 200. What's the point of fighting then?

Therefore, cultivators all want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and have double the attack power, which is incredibly satisfying.

This is why Li Dijun, the sixth brother, can be the boss of Wudi City; he transformed from a Wudi to a Nascent Soul stage monster.

As mentioned earlier, if one is on the path of martial arts and then transitions to other paths, although it takes longer, the benefits are obvious.

That is, the Martial Emperor's combat power will be even stronger, and even after transforming into a Nascent Soul cultivator, he will still be the strongest among those of the same level.

With the addition of the Nascent Soul Astral Projection skill, who in Martial Emperor City could possibly be a match for Emperor Li?

Closer to home.

Zhou Yaoyun sensed the approaching tribulation clouds. With a gentle flick of her sleeve, her body transformed into a streak of light and appeared several thousand meters away.

If a Golden Core cultivator is like a little puppy, then a Nascent Soul cultivator is like an ancient tyrannosaurus.

They are completely different worlds.

The current Zhou Yaoyun could easily crush ten Zhao Linfengs.

A distance of one or two thousand meters is but a thought to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"This trip to the secret realm has been worthwhile, as we actually managed to see a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"

"Yes, Sect Master Qin is truly magnanimous. He actually gave such a fine pill to his subordinate!"

"If I can get back alive, I'll join the Qingfeng Sect too. There's a future in following a sect leader like that."

The martial artists in the square craned their necks, looking in the direction of the rolling dark clouds, eager to witness the birth of a Nascent Soul stage expert.

"Go, senior sister!"

Although Zhao Linfeng was beaten black and blue by several skeletons, he was still very excited because his plan had succeeded.

For the sake of Emperor Wu, a master at the Nascent Soul stage was cultivated.

When Emperor Li finds out, he'll surely reward me handsomely. He might even be so pleased that he'll appoint me as a deputy city lord.

At that time, beautiful women and elixirs will be readily available.

Just as Zhao Linfeng was immersed in his dream of glory and prosperity, Zhou Yaoyun's figure had already disappeared.

She continued flying because the storm cloud was simply too large.

She was worried that it would implicate the martial artists below.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Zhou Yaoyun's state of mind also underwent some changes, and she gradually began to believe in cause and effect.

If you were to cause the deaths of so many people at once, I'm afraid God would never forgive you.

Tribulation clouds are meant to test cultivators; it has never been heard of a sinful demonic cultivator daring to undergo tribulation.

If I cause the deaths of so many people due to my carelessness, how am I any different from someone who follows the demonic path?
Zhou Yaoyun flew at least several dozen kilometers in one breath before stopping.

The calamity clouds overhead surged like a vortex, with red arcs of electricity leaping incessantly.

The entire cloud of calamity was at least ten kilometers in diameter.

It blotted out the sky and made the entire ground dark and gloomy.

Cultivators undergo tribulations starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, much like middle school students taking monthly exams, mid-term exams, final exams, and finally graduation exams.

The difficulty level is different each time.

The tribulation clouds of the Golden Core stage are at least ten times more powerful than those of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The tribulation clouds at the Nascent Soul stage are at least ten times stronger than those at the Golden Core stage. Those who can survive the tribulation clouds are all people with exceptional cultivation, comprehension, and luck.

Zhou Yaoyun looked up at the tribulation clouds that seemed to devour everything, took a slight breath, and then entered the tribulation clouds on her own initiative.

Click, click.
Lightning flashed, Zhou Yaoyun's long hair flew wildly, and her clothes fluttered, making her look like a celestial maiden.

With a determined effort, he took out all the magical artifacts that could increase his defense.

But in the face of the tribulation clouds, those magical treasures were like paper, shattering instantly.

However, at least the power of the lightning was reduced. After entering her body, Zhou Yaoyun guided the lightning to temper her bones and meridians.

Calamity clouds are like a double-edged sword; they can destroy cultivators, or they can temper them.

If you can't survive, you'll be annihilated; if you do, you'll be reborn.

Of course, each tribulation of lightning consists of nine strikes.

Zhou Yaoyun had just passed the first level, and all her magical treasures were exhausted. There were still eight levels left for her to overcome.

"Heh, I probably won't make it through."

Zhou Yaoyun gave a bitter smile. She had defied fate to become a cultivator, but going against the heavens was no easy feat, and in the end, she would still fall under the might of the heavens.

As even more powerful lightning descended from the sky, Zhou Yaoyun gritted her teeth and activated the spiritual energy within her body to form a protective shield.

The protective shield shattered like an eggshell.

The lightning relentlessly invaded her body.

Zhou Yaoyun trembled, realizing that she had actually survived the second lightning tribulation.

The reason is that the soul contract that Yan Mingyu left in her body acted as a defense, blocking the second lightning tribulation.

This also means that the soul contract between himself and Qin Yu has failed and been destroyed by the lightning tribulation.

For a moment, Zhou Yaoyun was both excited and apprehensive. She could finally break free from the soul contract, but what if Yan Mingyu found out? Would she cause trouble for her?

In addition, it was Qin Yu who gave him the Immortal Reversal Pill, which gave him the opportunity to break free of the soul contract.

If I break through to the Nascent Soul stage and am no longer bound by the soul contract, would it really be a good thing to part ways with him?

For some reason, after losing the bondage of the soul contract, Zhou Yaoyun found that she was not as happy as she had imagined.

After a brief moment of excitement, I calmed down.

She bit her lip slightly, her expression somewhat complicated, as if she were having an internal struggle.

Rumble.
The third lightning tribulation continued to descend.

Zhou Yaoyun immediately realized that she hadn't even survived the tribulation yet, so what was the point of thinking about this now?

boom.
A bright bolt of lightning struck Zhou Yaoyun.

Instantly, she was reduced from full health to near-death. Another hit would probably have completely destroyed Zhou Yaoyun.

Zhou Yaoyun had blood on the corner of her mouth and was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Since we're not dead, let's continue.

Zhou Yaoyun mobilized the spiritual energy within her body to continuously repair the damaged areas.

The fourth lightning tribulation followed immediately.

Zhou Yaoyun stumbled and fell from the sky like a bird hit by a bullet.

It crashed to the ground with a thud.

Failed?
Zhou Yaoyun was unwilling to accept this. If she failed to transcend the tribulation, she would at least lose her cultivation and become an ordinary person.

In severe cases, the soul is scattered and there is no chance of reincarnation.

Rumble.
The tribulation clouds in the sky did not dissipate; they continued to churn, as if they would not be satisfied until they had shattered Zhou Yaoyun's soul and spirit.

Swish.
A beam of light approached from afar and floated in front of Zhou Yaoyun, who was stunned for a moment.

This is a piece the size of a washbasin, and it looks like scales.

Golden and shimmering with colorful rays of light.

"Sister Yunyun, this is my reverse scale, the hardest part of our Five-Clawed Golden Dragon clan. It can help you overcome the tribulation of lightning."

"By the way, this is what my boss told me to do. No need to thank me, thank my boss!"

Xiao Long's voice echoed in Zhou Yaoyun's mind. (End of Chapter)
