Chapter 771: What a Spendthrift!

Ye Wudao's eyebrows furrowed slightly. His hand, which was halfway extended, shifted to rest on the head of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger, carefully sensing its condition.

A moment later, he shook his head helplessly, tapped the Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger on the head, and laughed while scolding:

"What a spendthrift!"

He wasn't actually angry. The reason he wanted to take back the demon core earlier was that he could make better use of it if he used it for Alchemy.

For Ye Wudao, refining the demon core directly was actually a rather wasteful approach.

But now that the Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger had swallowed the demon core, it had already started refining the power within.

It had fallen into a deep sleep because the power of the demon core was too strong—it had simply over-stuffed itself!

Ye Wudao naturally wouldn't forcibly interrupt this process.

The Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger had already acknowledged him as its Master; the stronger it was, the more help it would be to him.

The energy contained within a Creation Realm ninth-level demon core was truly immense.

Once the Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger awoke, its strength would surely undergo an earth-shattering transformation; it might even break through several minor Realms directly.

"Regardless, this can be considered a good thing."

Ye Wudao smiled and immediately put the sleeping Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger back into the hongmeng pagoda, letting it digest the energy inside.

After doing this, Ye Wudao scavenged all the usable parts from the Heaven-Splitting Demon Ape, then summoned the purple gold gourd and jumped onto it without hesitation.

It was getting late, and his entanglement with the Heaven-Splitting Demon Ape had wasted some time.

If he didn't rush back to the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, he might miss the Prodigy Ranking Tournament!

Thinking of this, Ye Wudao immediately took out a large amount of Top-Grade Spirit Stone and stuffed them into the purple gold gourd, pushing its speed to the limit.

Hum!

The purple gold gourd radiated intense light instantly, transforming into a brilliant purple-gold streak of light that sped toward the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

…

On the other side, in the capital of the Yue Kingdom, behind the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

In the sky, the thundercloud finally accumulated the last bolt of lightning and smashed down with a boom.

Rumble!

A purple lightning pillar as thick as a water barrel slammed directly onto Yue Liuli amidst a deafening roar.

In the distance, the crowd watching Yue Liuli Undergoing Tribulation held their breath.

The most common Heavenly Tribulation that Cultivators triggered when breaking through was the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, after the Five Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and many people ran out to see who was Undergoing Tribulation.

The others had simple thoughts: they just wanted to see what powerful figure this was.

But for the people of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, it was quite shocking.

Especially for the other Disciples of Elder Yin Changhong.

Lin Feng, Senior Brother Su Yun, Hun Qianjue, Fentian City, and others had all arrived.

When they saw that the person Undergoing Tribulation was actually Yue Liuli, they were stunned.

What was going on?

Ye Wudao was already so Heaven-Defying, with fast Breakthroughs and strong combat power, which was enough to deal a blow to everyone's self-confidence.

Why was the Senior Sister starting now too?

Just at this moment.

Within the lightning, Yue Liuli held the ice soul sword. With a flick of her wrist, countless icy Sword Qi shot out, colliding violently with the lightning.

The powerful impact struck her body, causing her figure to sway.

However, her body was unscrupulously absorbing Spiritual Qi, frantically replenishing herself.

No matter how much Spiritual Qi she had consumed with her sword strikes just now, with her current speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi, she could keep up with the consumption.

But that lightning was not infinite.

Finally, under this attrition, the lightning swirling around her was exhausted bit by bit.

In mid-air, Yue Liuli's figure was completely revealed.

The thundercloud high above gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone down once again.

Yue Liuli clenched her fists, feeling the surging power within her body, and could not help but show a smile on her face.

Great!

Finally broke through to the eighth level of the Tongyou Realm!

In the future, I can also help Junior Brother Ye!

Thinking of this, Yue Liuli could not help feeling a bit smug.

But soon, she hurriedly suppressed the emotion in her heart and flew toward the side of her Master, Elder Yin Changhong, and the others.

As soon as she landed, Lin Feng and the others who were watching her Undergoing Tribulation immediately came up to greet her.

"Senior Sister, aren't you a bit too fierce?!"

Fentian City couldn't help but be the first to speak, saying with an incredulous expression:

"How long has it been, and you've already broken through to the eighth level of the Tongyou Realm?"

"Your Cultivation speed is almost catching up to Ye Wudao!"

Hun Qianjue nodded from the side as well, his expression complex.

He had originally thought that the freak Ye Wudao was already outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that the Senior Sister would also cause such a big commotion without a sound.

How were they, as Junior Brothers, supposed to live in the future?

Of course, they were just envious.

After all, Yue Liuli had always been good to these Junior Brothers; whenever they had problems with their Cultivation and went to ask her, Yue Liuli had always answered everything she knew.

Therefore, after a brief moment of envy, Hun Qianjue and Fentian City hurriedly offered their congratulations.

Lin Feng and Senior Brother Su Yun were much steadier and didn't have so many emotions.

They had become Disciples earlier, but they had never been able to keep up with Yue Liuli's Breakthrough speed, and they were already used to it.

They immediately surrounded her and offered congratulations repeatedly.

"Senior Sister, congratulations on your Breakthrough!"

"Senior Sister Yue, you are now the one with the highest cultivation among us again!"

"Senior Sister is mighty!"

"Senior Sister is amazing!"

Surrounded by everyone, Yue Liuli's face was full of smiles as she said:

"Thank you all, thank you!"

She had always been very enthusiastic toward her own people, so naturally, she thanked her Junior Brothers sincerely when they congratulated her.

Not far away, Elder Yin Changhong looked at the harmonious scene of his Disciples and nodded slightly.

Yue Liuli had been in seclusion for two years and successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Tongyou Realm, which was indeed not bad.

Of course, it was only not bad.

After all, Elder Yin Changhong knew very well that Yue Liuli not only possessed a Saint-grade Profound Meridian but also had awakened a special Physique.

With these two talents stacked, it was not surprising that she successfully broke through three minor Realms after two years of seclusion.

If she had gained nothing after two years of seclusion, that would be abnormal.

Moreover, Yue Liuli's Breakthrough speed was still far behind Ye Wudao's.

Back then, Ye Wudao broke through five minor Realms in one day, and after three years of seclusion, he broke through six minor Realms at once; such a record was not something ordinary people could compare to.

However, Ye Wudao was a special case.

The current Yue Liuli could already completely crush the younger generation of Cultivators and could be considered a Prodigy.

Thinking of this, the thought that had previously popped up in Elder Yin Changhong's mind emerged once again.

Before Yue Liuli Undergoing Tribulation, Elder Yin Changhong had thought about perhaps taking Yue Liuli to participate in the Prodigy Ranking Tournament.

At that time, his thinking was simple: even if Yue Liuli couldn't get a good ranking, she could still see the world and accumulate experience by fighting against peers.

It was just that before he could propose this idea, Yue Liuli triggered her Breakthrough Heavenly Tribulation, and he had temporarily set this idea aside.

Now, Elder Yin Changhong had this intention once again.
