Chapter 72 Breakthrough Success
Once the Ice Lightning Sword absorbed all the lightning, the tribulation was over, and the inn returned to peace.
After the lightning disappeared, Song Chaofeng collapsed to the ground. Although he was unaware of the situation outside, he had been affected as well. If he hadn't used a defensive magic artifact, he might have been struck by several bolts of lightning.
The air in the room was still swirling. In the blink of an eye, Tao Tao and Bai Yan had returned to the room. Song Chaofeng hurriedly looked over and found that the two of them were acting as if nothing had happened. He had been worrying for nothing.
"Is the tribulation over?" Song Chaofeng asked worriedly. This thing can't happen again.
Tao Tao nodded, "Mm." Then she put away her Ice Lightning Sword with satisfaction. After this tempering, the power of the Ice Lightning Sword had increased to a higher level, but she had never had the chance to test it.
Once the storm had passed, the other innkeepers felt as if they had just woken from a dream. The dream was filled with danger, but unfortunately, they couldn't move. When they were able to move again, they went outside and found that nothing had happened, not a trace had been left, and they couldn't explain why.
A night passed, and the next morning, Tao Tao opened her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt her meridians reverse, and a sharp pain came from her internal organs. Her whole body was burning unbearably, and she couldn't stand it any longer, so she rolled off the bed.
Oh no, it looks like a breakthrough is about to happen.
Bai Yan had been suppressing it for her temporarily, but after so many days, he could no longer hold back. She was about to break through. Fortunately, she had a few Heavenly Origin Pills. Although it was uncertain whether she could refine them, the probability of her breaking through would be much higher.
Bai Yan already had Tao Tao's soul imprint, so he could sense any problem Tao Tao had and could always appear immediately.
As soon as he arrived at Tao Tao's room, he found her lying on the ground, barely breathing, with her spiritual energy constantly erupting, causing her extreme discomfort.
"It seems she's about to break through." Bai Yan walked over, picked her up from the ground, placed her on the bed, and touched her brow, indeed sensing the unusual movement.
"You have two souls in one body, so breaking through won't be easy. Considering our fate together, let me lend you a hand." After saying that, Bai Yan tapped Tao Tao's storage bracelet, took out the Heavenly Origin Pill and put it into Tao Tao's mouth, then quickly opened a barrier to isolate the entire room.
Breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment won't cause a big commotion, but compared to the previous fifth-grade pill tribulation, it's nothing. However, Tao Tao's situation is different. As an ancient ferocious beast, Taotie, and with the true spirit Qingluan's essence blood in his body, the difficulty of breaking through naturally increases.
"It's so hot..."
Tao Tao spoke in a low voice, her forehead drenched in sweat, her body being attacked by two terrifying forces that were trying to tear her apart.
"Cold, so cold..."
She was in agony, alternating between feeling cold and hot, and her spiritual energy was completely out of control, surging everywhere and causing her meridians to boil.
"Breakthrough still depends on yourself; I can only assist from the sidelines," Bai Yan said calmly, injecting a stream of pure spiritual energy into Tao Tao's body, instantly making her feel much better.
Tao Tao slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Bai Yan in front of her, she felt much relieved. She opened her mouth and said, "Ayan, I feel so uncomfortable. What should I do?"
"Refine the Heavenly Origin Pill first, and do the rest as I say."
Time passed slowly. Song Chaofeng got up early in the morning and wanted to call Tao Tao to leave. They had been delayed in Wude Town for a while and it was almost time to go back. Anyway, they had finished taking care of everything.
But when he arrived at Tao Tao's room and was about to push the door open, he was pushed away by an extremely strong force. He stared at the door in surprise, somewhat puzzled.
Was there some kind of restriction in place? But there's no reason to stop him.
Song Chaofeng, who was locked out of the door, was puzzled and worried that something might happen to Tao Tao. But when he thought about it carefully, what could possibly happen with Bai Yan around?
"Tao Tao?" He couldn't wait any longer and called out, but there was no response.
Never mind, let's go back and wait.
He turned to leave, but suddenly a clear sound came from the room, like a demonic sound piercing his ears and going straight to the depths of his soul. Song Chaofeng froze on the spot.
"Boom!" The sound was accompanied by a powerful force, which affected the surrounding rooms, which were instantly broken open. The people in the rooms were immediately startled and hurriedly came out of the rooms, only to see a mess.
"What happened?" someone asked anxiously, looking around worriedly. The others were also confused. They had never had so many problems staying at this inn before. Why were they constantly encountering danger this time?
Not only them, but even the shopkeeper rushed upstairs. Luckily, the stairs were still there, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get upstairs.
"Esteemed seniors and esteemed elders, our humble inn can't withstand this kind of turmoil." The innkeeper's voice was trembling with tears, hoping that these powerful figures would restrain themselves. Last night's lightning and now this inexplicable force were threatening to demolish his inn.
Hearing this, someone nearby curled their lip and said, "Shopkeeper, it seems your little shop has indeed received a senior, who might even be more powerful than those living upstairs."
Hearing this, the innkeeper was on the verge of tears. Some high-level cultivators prefer to keep a low profile and therefore do not expose their strength. It is normal for them to stay in ordinary guest rooms, but nothing has ever happened before. Who would have thought that this time it would cause such a big commotion?
"Awoo!"
Suddenly, another howl rang out, and this time everyone was affected. The entire inn shook three times, the doors and windows of the rooms disappeared instantly, and people fell to the ground, unable to stand up due to the impact.
"Could it be that a demonic beast has broken through its limits here?"
Someone shouted in shock, but was immediately stopped by the person next to them, "Who cares who broke through here? Do you think we can bother with them? Let's leave and avoid the limelight."
Because of this remark, fearing trouble, they endured the pain in their bodies and stood up to leave. However, a ripple came from behind and immediately knocked them to the ground, and no one dared to move.
The outward-radiating force continued for a long time, causing immense suffering to the people in the inn. They were exhausted from the ravages of this force and constantly worried about whether their lives would be in danger.
If the situation outside was like this, what about Tao Tao inside the room? At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a blue bird flying around her. A clear line appeared on her forehead, and the true form of the Taotie gradually materialized behind her. It was much larger than the small beast she usually transformed into, and it was filled with an unusual danger.
Taotie and Qingluan should not have coexisted, but they were surprisingly perfectly fused within Tao Tao's body, which is why it was so difficult for him to break through.
Tao Tao has already consumed two Heavenly Origin Pills, one of which is a Grade 5 pill. If it weren't for Bai Yan's help, it would have been very difficult for him to refine it.
Tao Tao is no longer in so much pain. He is very calm and feels like he is in a very strange state. His spiritual energy is no longer so turbulent and is gradually starting to merge into every meridian.
After an unknown amount of time, Tao Tao slowly opened her eyes. A blue light flashed in her eyes, and then the true form of the Taotie and the swirling blue phoenix behind her entered her body. She exhaled a long breath and slowly spoke:
"Finally, a breakthrough has been achieved."
