Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 301 A Good Strategy to Cope with Calamity
Finally, Yang Yang's clone couldn't bear to watch any longer. She stood quietly to one side, her voice as cold and calm as an ancient well, yet carrying an undeniable gravity:
"Now is not the time for sentimentality. The Immeasurable Merit Pearl has been exposed, and this matter concerns our life and death. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Her gaze swept over Dou Eqing and the main figure, her tone turning stern:

“We can’t hide here for long. If we don’t show ourselves soon, someone will report the matter of the Merit Bead to the Judgment Hall—and then, it won’t just be a few peak Tribulation Transcending pursuers coming.”

The clone's words were like a cold spring splashing on the face, suddenly waking Yang Yang's true self.

She slowly lifted her head from Dou Eqing's embrace—the vast sea that seemed to have returned—her eyes still glistening with tears, yet she forced herself to calm herself.

She gently pushed him away slightly, took a deep breath, and barely suppressed the surging emotions of their reunion, a feeling that transcended life and death, and whispered:

“She’s right… Right now, we must plan ahead.”

Yang Yang's voice was deep and clear, as if stating an unavoidable fact:

"With the appearance of the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, those in the Immortal Realm are hesitant to directly intervene due to the destructive nature of the Immortal War. However, in the Demonic Path, all powerful individuals who yearn for breakthroughs and intend to stir up trouble will spare no expense to compete for it."

Yang Yang's clone snorted coldly, a wisp of flame flickering around her fingertips, her tone sharp as a knife:

"But now is the critical moment when the righteous and demonic energies clash. Li Chunlong's tribulation to become an immortal has lasted for more than two thousand years, and this is the most crucial moment to interrupt it. If the demonic path is thrown into chaos due to internal strife, no one can afford the price."

She looked at Dou Eqing with a solemn expression, "Even for the sake of the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, we must follow the 'rules'—the Judgment Hall will never allow chaos to occur."

"So they will definitely get involved."

Yang Yang took over, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness, "Once the Judgment Hall intervenes, we can no longer hide. The Ruins of the Demon Abyss can deceive ordinary cultivators, but it will definitely not escape the Judgment Hall's tracking techniques."

Yan Meier nodded slightly, a hint of burning desire reflected in her eyes:
“We both know that.” She and Yang Yang exchanged a glance and fell silent.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "Just now we deduced several possibilities, but we found that... there is no other way but to rely on strength."

Dou Eqing had been listening in silence the whole time, but finally spoke in a low voice:
"So... in the end, the ownership of the Merit Pearl will still be determined by a battle of magic?"

"Yes."

Yang Yang's voice carried a hint of reluctance, "But you are now surrounded by powerful enemies—the old grudges with the Sea Demon Sect have not been settled, and you yourself have made countless enemies. Once you leave Guixu, you will be the target of everyone's attacks."

Yang Yang's clone's tone grew increasingly stern:
"More realistically, you've just entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm. And back then, Kuan Hai..."

She paused briefly, as if unwilling to touch that memory, "He was already the strongest among those at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, fighting to the very last moment to obtain the treasure, yet he still ended up dying and his cultivation dissipating. Now you are facing the challenge of almost the entire Demonic Path Tribulation Transcending Realm."

She looked at Dou Eqing, her voice resolute:
"In a sense—you are going to fight against all the great demons who covet this pearl all by yourself."

Yang Yang sighed softly, and finally concluded, "It seems... the hope is slim."

Liu Shuhuang's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had remembered something. She suddenly took a step forward, her voice clear and calm:
"Does Dou Lang still remember when you took advantage of the great battle between the righteous and the demonic forces to forcibly overcome the Nine Yang Tribulation and disperse the heavenly might with the calamity of killing ten thousand people?"
Since the Boundless Merit Bead has little appeal to righteous cultivators, why don't we bring it to the battlefield between the righteous and demonic factions—using the chaos of the great war to alleviate the pressure on all sides and then find a way out?

Upon hearing this, Dou Eqing was taken aback at first, then his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, like lightning cleaving through the fog in the night.

He exclaimed in admiration, "Brilliant! Not only that—I also want to take this opportunity to rescue Senior Sister Su!"

The "Senior Sister Su" he mentioned is Su Muwan.

Since breaking through to the Tribulation Realm, the influence of the curse that Dou Eqing had placed on Su Muwan has greatly diminished.

Although his feelings for Su Muwan are not even half as strong as they were back then, he rationally knows that his feelings for Su Muwan should be even deeper.

Although he wasn't emotionally in a hurry, his reason compelled him to go and rescue Su Muwan as soon as possible.

He took a sudden step forward, his aura surging forth, and said in a loud voice:
"Not just hide, not just defend—I must take the initiative and disrupt Li Chunlong's Immortal Tribulation! Only by making things big enough will the Judgment Hall have no choice but to temporarily set aside its internal struggles and deal with the changes in the righteous path! And this is our most crucial moment!"

As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent, and the expressions of the goddesses changed drastically.

Liu Shuhuang nodded slightly, her eyes revealing appreciation and decisiveness, as if she had expected him to do this.
Yang Yang frowned, hesitating to speak, her eyes filled with worry;
Yan Meier was first taken aback, then a near-fanatical smile appeared on her lips, as if she greatly admired this earth-shattering gamble.

You Yingyue and Tu Qianqian were still in their combined state, their expressions shifting between solemnity and agitation, their voices overlapping:
“You’re crazy…but this is exactly the kind of thing you would do…”;
Yu Lianxin covered her mouth and gasped softly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Shui Xianrong remained silent, but her fingertips had already dug into her palms;

Su Baiqing closed her eyes, as if she were trying to deduce the secrets of heaven;
Meng Liuli stood there, stunned, muttering, "Interfering with the Immortal Tribulation? This... how is this possible..."

Gu Youli slowly raised her head, a cold flame seemingly burning in her deep eyes.

Dou Eqing's words were like a boulder thrown into a pool, stirring up waves in everyone's hearts.

A moment of silence fell over the hall, followed by low murmurs as many eyes met, a mixture of surprise, shock, and deliberation...

Eventually, it gradually transformed into a do-or-die, sharp edge.

Yang Yang (the clone) spoke first, calmly tapping the table with her fingertips:

“Actively intervening in the Immortal Tribulation is tantamount to snatching chestnuts from the fire. But... just as you said, only by thoroughly muddying the waters can the attention of the Judgment Hall and even the entire Demonic Path be forcibly diverted to the outside world. This is our only, and also the most dangerous, move to buy time.”

Liu Shuhuang nodded, her phoenix eyes gleaming with the calculating light of an imperial commander:

"That's not all. Setting the battlefield in the Han-Tang Immortal Dynasty is killing two birds with one stone. The war between the righteous and the demonic forces is already at a stalemate there, and Li Chunlong's Immortal Tribulation is also a focal point."

Once the Pearl of Immeasurable Merit appears there, the eyes of all those who covet it will be drawn to it. Chaos will be our best cover.

Yan Meier's red lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile:
"Hehe... Wonderful! Aren't those self-proclaimed righteous hypocrites most afraid that the demonic treasure will tarnish their celestial dynasty's pure land?"

We'll deliberately throw this hot potato into their backyard! Let them fight it out with those bloodthirsty demonic fools first! We'll just wait for our chance to strike.

Youyingyue and Tu Qianqian (in their combined form, their voices are sometimes cold and sometimes spoiled):

"The intelligence... give it to us... the layout of the restrictions in Han Tang Immortal Capital... the rotation of guards around Li Chunlong's tribulation site... we can find a way... to leak it to a few of the most greedy raiders... to ensure they 'crash' into it 'on time'..."

After a moment's thought, Shui Xianrong added:
"We need to seize the right opportunity. While Dou Lang appears to attract attention, another group must launch a direct attack on the place where Junior Sister Su is being held. The chaos must be great enough that no one can spare a moment to attend to other matters."

Yu Lianxin said softly with concern, "But in that case, Dou Lang, you will bear the most pressure... You will become the target of everyone's criticism."

Dou Eqing laughed heartily, his heroic spirit undiminished:

"Pressure? I'd love that! The more they try to take things from me, the less time they have to worry about anything else!"

Su Baiqing slowly opened her eyes, her gaze seemingly reflecting the movement of stars.

"The heavens are already showing signs of chaos. Although this plan is risky, it hides a glimmer of hope in this deadly situation. The key lies in the word 'guide'. Everyone needs to feel that they are fighting for themselves, rather than falling into our scheme."

Meng Liuli blinked, trying hard to understand:

"So... we deliberately let the bad guys go to the bad guys' house to fight, and then we secretly went to rescue them?"

Gu Youli's voice was cold and incisive: "'Using a borrowed knife to kill.' We will use the power of the righteous path to weaken the demonic treasure hunters, and use the power of the demonic path to disrupt the Immortal Dynasty's plans. We only need to be the fishermen who reap the final benefits."

With everyone contributing their ideas, the initially bold but crude concepts were quickly filled in, refined, and made clear and feasible. Dou Eqing listened attentively to each woman's insights, his eyes shining even brighter.

Finally, he abruptly stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, summarizing and elevating the collective wisdom of everyone present:
"That's right! It's exactly 'using someone else's knife to kill someone'!"

"We must not only take advantage of the momentum of the war between good and evil, but also the power of Li Chunlong's immortal tribulation, and even more so, the power of those greedy people!"

"Spread the word far and wide that Dou Lang has appeared in the Han Tang Immortal Dynasty with the Immeasurable Merit Pearl, muddy the waters, and draw the swords of all those who covet it toward our enemy!"

"Let them fight each other, so they have no time to look at anything else!"

"And this is our best chance to rescue Mu Wan, and even... ultimately protect the Merit Pearl!"

With the plan finalized, an atmosphere of tension, adventure, and determination filled the air.

At this moment, everyone's goals are highly aligned, and a meticulously woven web of chaos begins to be quietly laid out.

The heated discussion was abruptly cooled by Yu Lianxin's gentle yet incisive words.

She didn't raise her voice, but her clear eyes, filled with undeniable worry, looked at Dou Eqing, and then swept over everyone present:
"Everyone's plans are ingenious; leveraging the prevailing trend and creating chaos are all excellent strategies. However... we seem to have overlooked a most fundamental, and most fatal, problem—"

She paused slightly, letting the weight of her words sink into everyone's hearts: "Can Dou Lang's cultivation truly withstand the first wave of impact?"

"What we need to lure away are countless giant demons undergoing tribulation, blinded by greed. The premise of any scheme is that Dou Lang can avoid being instantly defeated the moment he encounters them. Otherwise, there is no point in discussing anything else."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the slight enthusiasm that had just risen due to the grand plan.

Silence fell in the hall again, but this time it carried a chilling and grim reality.

Yang Yang (the real person)'s face paled slightly, and she nodded subconsciously:
“What Lianxin said is absolutely right… I haven’t thought things through enough. Having a plan without the strength to support it is just a mirage.”

Liu Shuhuang frowned and pondered, quickly shifting her focus from strategic planning to the most practical level.

"In that case, the most important task at present is not how to influence the general trend of the world, but how to maximize my husband's combat power in the shortest possible time."

At the very least, he needs to have the means to survive against a Tribulation Realm expert.

Although Yan Meier was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Tsk, troublesome! But that's true. Dou Lang, your current health can't withstand a few more blows from those old monsters."

Youyingyue/Tu Qianqian (in combined form, her voice is urgent):
"Medicines...secret techniques...battle breakthroughs...anything that can be used...we must prepare immediately..."

Shui Xianrong replied:

"Perhaps I can try to set up a few secret talismans to protect the soul, which can at least withstand one or two attacks of divine sense."

Su Baiqing focused intently on deducing:

"Perhaps we could find a secret place where time flows differently, to buy some time to recover, but this plan is highly unpredictable..."

Gu Youli's voice remained cold, yet it pointed to the core issue:
"Magic weapons, cultivation techniques, and combat experience are all indispensable. We need to act immediately; we don't have much time to hesitate."

The direction of the discussion has completely changed.

From outlining the grand scheme of "using a borrowed knife to kill," let's return to the most basic and urgent starting point—to make Dou Eqing strong as soon as possible, so that he at least has the minimum qualifications to step onto this dangerous stage.

All eyes were once again focused on Dou Eqing, but this time, it was no longer in amazement at the crazy plan, but with heavy expectations and worries.

Feeling this profound concern, Dou Eqing took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp and resolute:

"I understand. All the brilliant plans hinge on this. Rest assured, I am more reluctant to die than anyone else. Now, I need your help... to sharpen this still-imperfect blade!"

Faced with the urgent situation, Dou Eqing knew that while strategic planning could be left to others to discuss, improving his own strength was of utmost urgency.

Without hesitation, he went straight to Bai Qingyu, who happened to be free, and said, "Help me."

After he finished speaking, he took her hand and they were teleported into the Purple Star Immortal Mansion together.

Deep within the Purple Star Immortal Abode, the two arrived beneath the Jade Buddha Peony, which had already reached the ninth level and was radiating spiritual light.

Because he broke through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the Purple Star Immortal Mansion underwent a great change.

Dou Eqing currently lacks the time and energy to explore the new changes in the Ziwei Immortal Mansion, but he is already overjoyed to discover that the Jade Buddha Peony has grown to the ninth level.

As soon as he thought of it, the Jade Buddha Peony seemed to respond to his intention, its petals unfurling layer by layer, pouring down a pure and vast holy radiance that completely enveloped the two of them.

They sat facing each other in the center of the radiant light, palms touching, and then jointly activated the profound [Yin Yang Intercourse Chapter]. Under the stimulation of the technique, their auras suddenly merged, and the surging spiritual power within their bodies circulated like the yin and yang fish, constantly refining and consolidating Dou Eqing's cultivation at the beginning of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and also making Bai Qingyu's foundation more complete.

To buy time, Dou Eqing pushed the time acceleration power of the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to its limit, but he precisely confined this power to a small area around the Jade Buddha Peony, forming a unique barrier with a time flow rate different from the outside world.

However, even with such utmost manipulation, the effective acceleration time that can be maintained in the face of such a strong time warp is extremely limited.

After the dual cultivation with Bai Qingyu came to a temporary end, Dou Eqing did not stop for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Shuhuang was teleported in by Dou Eqing.

She didn't waste any time chatting and went straight into the radiant light to take over Bai Qingyu's position.

With her composed and elegant demeanor, she exchanged blows with Dou Eqing, using her profound and graceful cultivation to continue helping him strengthen his power through the secret dual cultivation method, thus propelling his cultivation to a higher level.

This was originally a simple dual cultivation session with a pure and desireless mind, but in the end, Liu Shuhuang took the initiative to initiate a deep yin-yang dual cultivation session with Dou Eqing.

This method facilitates a dual cultivation approach where one party replenishes the other's essence.

"Sister Huang has only just broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, this method will damage your foundation."

Dou Eqing was provoked by the other party, but still spoke rationally.

"Have you forgotten that our dual cultivation previously solidified my Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivation? You only took some of my primordial yin, which I replenished by refining an eighth-grade yin-replenishing pill..."

Ultimately, under her double temptation, the two engaged in dual cultivation and pleasure.

After Liu Shuhuang, Yan Meier, who had been waiting on the side, giggled and seemed to be burning with intense flames as she entered the holy light of the Jade Buddha Peony without hesitation.

Yan Meier also allowed Dou Eqing to use her sexual energy.

After three rounds of dual cultivation, although it had been less than a year in the outside world, Dou Eqing had already cultivated for more than three hundred years, and his cultivation level had increased by the equivalent of absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating for three thousand years.

However, this improvement was not significant for his cultivation at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

For experts at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, each minor realm of cultivation takes tens of thousands of years.

It's not just about absorbing spiritual energy to increase cultivation, but also about comprehending the Dao. Each minor realm has more than one bottleneck, and once you encounter a bottleneck, you can be stuck for thousands of years.

Throughout these long years, they need to search for ancient manuals in the endless void or venture into treacherous secret realms to obtain the precious materials needed for their breakthroughs.

Every time I comprehend the Dao, it feels like I am conversing with heaven and earth, feeling the invisible power surging within my body. Every time I break through a bottleneck, it feels like I am undergoing a life-or-death test, with my soul and body struggling at their limits.

After Dou Eqing finished dual cultivation with three Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators, if he wanted to continue dual cultivation to improve his cultivation, he would have to find other Transcending Tribulation Realm female cultivators.

The Sea Demon Sect does have two female cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but they are both at the level of sect leaders and have their own partners, so it's simply unrealistic for them to be there.

If one were to use the Mahayana furnace to replenish one's energy, it would surely damage one's foundation. Moreover, among the women, only Shui Xianrong, You Yingyue, and Ye Nashi, who had reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation, had separated from their combined state.

Having accompanied Liu Shuhuang through her tribulation last time, they were only one breakthrough opportunity away from breaking through to the Tribulation Realm.

If Dou E were to use his sexual energy on them now, he would surely suffer a greater loss than gain.

However, it is inconvenient for the women in the combined state to cultivate with him, and it is unrealistic to look for him in the outside world.

The best targets for dual cultivation are only Yang Yang's true form and her clone.

Especially her clone, she is equivalent to a pure Yin body at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and even possesses the Devouring Desire Demon Furnace physique of a Desire Dao Body Immortal-grade furnace cauldron—a true furnace cauldron.

Once activated, this body can actively devour desires, transforming the primordial yang into the legendary mysterious desire essence, and then returning the desire essence to the male cultivator who needs assistance. This not only increases its own cultivation but also strengthens the primordial yang source.

As a male cultivator's vital essence grows stronger, not only will the speed of dual cultivation continue to increase, but the upper limit of dual cultivation will also be raised.

After all, every form of cultivation has an upper limit. The higher the limit, the more efficient one can be at achieving the same goal.

For example, Dou Eqing can only absorb the primordial yin of three female cultivators of the same realm in a day. If the limit is raised to six, then his cultivation level will naturally double in a day through dual cultivation.

This demonstrates the effect of Yang Yang's clone's Devouring Desire Body.

However, this is only in theory.

Male cultivators, especially the strong ones, usually have a kind of psychological fastidiousness, so they will not tolerate their dual cultivation partners cultivating with other men.

However, she can accumulate Dou Eqing through repeated extractions, process it using her special body, and then replenish Dou Eqing.

Although the effect is the same, the process will be slower and more troublesome.

However, Dou Eqing felt that their primordial yin was very important to him, so he was in no hurry to use it now. The best time would be when he broke through to the next realm.

However, even if there are still female cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm who can help him improve his cultivation through dual cultivation, they can only help him improve his cultivation for a maximum of two thousand years before he will inevitably face a bottleneck period and need to comprehend the Dao to continue improving his cultivation.

Therefore, Dou Eqing also knew that things couldn't be rushed.

Since it is temporarily impossible to improve cultivation level through training, the only option is to improve combat strength through actual combat training.

Although Dou Eqing's cultivation level improved extremely quickly, his combat strength did not decline.

He defeated Youyingyue, Bai Qingyu, and Yan Meier in succession.

In the end, they fought to a draw with Liu Shuhuang.

Yang Yang and her clone left the Guixu Demon Abyss together to collect some of the Sea Demon Sect's resources that Dou Eqing might need.

Otherwise, Dou Eqing wanted them to give him some pointers.

Dou Eqing and Liu Shuhuang withdrew from the illusionary arena, and Tu Qianqian and the other girls, still in their combined form, came to him to complain:

"Dou Lang, think of a way. We don't want to stay together like this forever; it's too restrictive."

Unfortunately, Dou Eqing didn't have a good solution for the time being, so he could only offer encouragement:
"You all need to focus on your cultivation. Only by breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm can you break free from the combined state of the Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body. I have no other way."

Although Dou Eqing did not resolve the issue of the women's combined state, they provided him with great inspiration.

Seeing that the merged divine soul and demonic body were about to leave, Dou Eqing hurriedly told the sect leader:

"Wait a moment. I need to ask the original spirit of the Evil Soul Tribulation something."

Dou Eqing casually made a fingertip of the Slave Control Technique and placed it on the forehead of the merged divine soul demon body.

"Can I use the Soul Refining Evil Armor to boost my combat power across ranks, just like them?"

He couldn't wait to ask the original spirit of the Soul Refining Evil Armor.

"can!"

The original spirit first gave him a positive answer.

"However, it is not your true self. I remember you have a primordial spirit body. By using that primordial spirit body to control your divided soul and merge it into the divine soul demon body, you can gather the power of many people to form combat power, and even transcend realms."

The original spirit explained to Dou Eqing without any emotion.

"As long as it works..."

Dou Eqing muttered to himself, severing his communication with the original spirit.

Instead of focusing on actual combat to improve his fighting strength, he assisted Liu Shuhuang in refining pills to enhance the cultivation of the "Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body".

There are two ways to improve the cultivation of "Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body": one is to directly increase the overall soul power;
In addition, the cultivation level of each individual can be improved. When everyone's cultivation level is improved, the overall cultivation level of the Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body can achieve a tremendous leap forward.

Dou Eqing naturally chose to pursue both methods simultaneously.

Because after he broke through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the Ziwei Immortal Mansion opened up a new area, which was rich in high-grade spiritual herbs, so he didn't have to worry about not having high-grade spiritual herbs for alchemy.

When Yang Yang's clone returned, the cultivation of the Divine Soul Demon Body had reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Among them, the cultivation of Tu Qianqian, Meng Liuli, and Gu Youli had been raised to the peak of the Mahayana stage, and they could be separated from it at any time.

However, Dou Eqing prevented him from doing so in order to break through to the next realm and transcend the tribulation, but in reality, he was preparing for his spiritual body to merge with the divine soul and the Heavenly Demon Body.

With the protection of Yang Yang's clone, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, Dou Eqing immediately began to arrange for his spiritual body to merge with his divine soul demon body.

His spiritual body was somewhat similar to Yang Yang's clone, so he simply refined a pseudo-Dao Pill-level Extreme Desire Pill first, and then refined it using the same method that Yang Yang's clone used to undergo tribulation with the Extreme Desire Pill.

Because not only did several female cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm provide primordial yin, but he himself also broke through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm. This pseudo-Dao Pill-level Extreme Desire Pill only requires five female cultivators.

Of course, before Dou Eqing used the Extreme Desire Pill, he had to let all the women who had reached the peak of the Mahayana stage use the Extreme Desire Pill to undergo the Tribulation Lightning Tribulation and take a shortcut to break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm again.

Thus, after only three years of hiding in the Guixu Demon Abyss, apart from Feng Qiniang who was still at the peak of the Mahayana stage, the other women around Dou Eqing had already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage.

However, the eight women, including You Yingyue, Tu Qianqian, Meng Liuli, and Gu Youli, have not yet undergone their tribulations. They need to cultivate for several hundred years under the accelerated time system of the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to consolidate their realms before they can find an opportunity to undergo their tribulations.

Comparatively speaking, the pseudo-Dao Pill of Extreme Desire that was refined again was of a better grade. Dou Eqing also refined it through lightning tribulation and unexpectedly broke through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which was even higher than the original body's cultivation.

In order to merge with the Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body, he used the tribulation lightning to refine the Extreme Desire Pill and reshape his body in the way of "destruction and reconstruction". After the tribulation lightning, he appeared in female form.

"Dou Lang, what's wrong with your clone?"

Yena immediately expressed her concern.

"To help them overcome their tribulations, and to become stronger..."

He went on to describe his plan as using the "divine soul and demonic body" to help the nine members of Youyingyue overcome their tribulations.

After all, the tribulation lightning tribulations of the nine of them were destined to be much stronger than those of Liu Shuhuang and the other two women.

No one doubted his claim.

Yena even volunteered to help him withstand the lightning tribulation:

"Then I'll merge into them and help them overcome their tribulations too?"

Her words stirred something in Dou Eqing's heart.

He originally did not intend to let Liu Shuhuang and the other two women, who had already broken through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, re-integrate into the Divine Soul Heavenly Demon Body.

However, if there is a suitable plan, it is not impossible.

If the Divine Soul Demon Body is formed by the fusion of twelve Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators, and his spiritual body undergoes a transformation, reaching the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcending, it's possible that the cultivation level of the Divine Soul Demon Body could reach the late-stage of Tribulation Transcending.

"Mei'er, how about you two help me through this tribulation?"

Dou Eqing asked Yan Meier calmly.

Yan Meier was naturally more likely to agree than Li Shuhuang and the other two women, since the other six women were all originally from the Sea Demon Sect.
