Chapter 951 (2/2)

But it’s true…

If they really had dared to make a move, they would have done so back in the Land of Immortal Remnants, rather than waiting until now.

Since they didn’t dare to act under such pressing circumstances, they must be very fearful of Huang Qingling, and even less likely to act in the future.

It’s hard to know what kind of power Huang Qingling showcased during that great chaos to instill such fear.

“Thank you, Demon Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai and the elder of the Changyun Clan also quickly expressed their gratitude.

…

…

The group then returned to Demon Emperor City.

Elder Bai also promptly began gathering those allies who had previously collaborated with him.

These people and their behind-the-scenes forces all had good ties with the Elixir Alliance and were mainly the providers of most materials needed for the Ascension Pill this time.

When these people arrived at Demon Emperor City and saw Elder Bai and his companion, they too expressed their apologies regarding the incident of being trapped in the Land of Immortal Remnants.

Elder Bai, however, did not mind and even comforted them.

After all, the people who acted against them from both the Cangyun and Jiulin realms were too many.

Even if all the top cultivators of the entire Eastern Spirit Realm were mobilized, they wouldn’t stand a chance against those two realms.

It was even possible that all the top cultivators of the Eastern Spirit Realm could be entirely wiped out in one swoop.

That’s why, when considering whom to seek help from, they didn’t think of them but instead had Lin Jing seek out Huang Qingling directly.

Only Huang Qingling…

Could save them under those circumstances.

And indeed, the two were rescued by Huang Qingling.

After gathering the allied members, the materials for the Ascension Pill were also ready.

Then…

Elder Bai and the elder of the Changyun Clan, to avoid any slip-ups that could lead to alchemy failure, began their final study of the Elixir Recipe for the Ascension Pill.

This time, they even included Lin Jing.

Lin Jing, now a ninth-grade Alchemist, naturally could participate.

Thus, a year passed.

A year later, a void not far from Demon Emperor City was struck by Tribulation Lightning.

This Tribulation Lightning was terrifying; although it could not match the furor of Lin Jing’s previous tribulation, it was nearly as intense.

Furthermore…

This Tribulation Lightning was different from the usual one faced by cultivators, it wasn’t just nine strikes but countless continuous strikes, lasting for a significant period.

Even the duration of the Tribulation Lightning was much longer than usual for cultivators.

Though protracted, the Tribulation Lightning ceased after nearly half a day.

When the Tribulation Lightning ceased, under it, an extremely dazzling display of multicolored lights suddenly burst forth.

It was as if an Immortal Treasure had appeared, drawing all the cultivators who had rushed there upon seeing the Tribulation Lightning.
