Chapter 30 - Purple Tribulation Lightning

Chapter 30 - Purple Tribulation Lightning.

Su Qing coiled in the courtyard.

The rain drenched her entire body.

Raindrops clung to her scales, sparkling and clear.

The little sparrows hid under the eaves, not daring to enter the rain.

The water would soak their feathers, which was very uncomfortable.

They chirped and chattered, asking Su Qing why she was standing in the rain.

They called for Su Qing to come back inside.

Su Qing flicked her tongue and shook her head slightly.

She raised her head, looking at the rain clouds in the sky.

There was an inexplicable throbbing sensation.

As if…

Something was about to arrive.

"The Transformation Tribulation?"

Su Qing wondered in her heart.

In two years, Su Qing had naturally been cultivating diligently.

This final step was no longer a question of whether she could take it, but when she would choose to.

Just as she was pondering.

Someone knocked on the gate.

Su Qing turned her head to see it was Senior Brother Liu Yingtong.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yingtong," Su Qing said.

Liu Yingtong formed a Daoist seal with one hand and said:

"Junior Sister Yingqing... are you about to undergo your tribulation?"

"Mm... I feel it's coming soon."

Liu Yingtong nodded, and with a flip of his palm, a medicine bottle appeared in his hand.

"This Transformation Pill was given to me by Master for you. Take it. If you fail this Transformation Tribulation, you can use this to remedy it."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but be moved.

Su Qing was naturally aware of the difficulty of the Transformation Tribulation.

Although one could skip it to avoid losing one's life, if one wanted to transform completely, it could not be skipped.

Therefore, this Transformation Pill was indeed very meaningful to Su Qing.

After all, it was equivalent to a safety net. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

Even if she couldn't perfectly withstand the Transformation Tribulation in the end…

She could still achieve a complete transformation.

"Thank you…"

Su Qing couldn't help but say.

Liu Yingtong shook his head upon hearing this and said:

"Junior Sister should be thanking Master... I'm just here to deliver something."

Su Qing nodded in agreement.

"The Lightning Tribulation is coming soon. Senior Brother, please help me take these little ones away, to prevent them from being affected by my tribulation."

"Alright."

Liu Yingtong agreed.

In this Daoist monastery, most people were quite fond of these little sparrows.

Liu Yingtong was no exception.

After all, everyone likes cute little animals.

So, naturally, he didn't want to see the little ones get hurt.

At first, the sparrows were actually unwilling to leave…

But under Su Qing's persuasion, they still left reluctantly.

"I didn't expect these little gluttons to care so much about me."

Su Qing flicked her tongue, a smile forming in her heart.

After Liu Yingtong left with the chirping sparrows.

Su Qing looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky had grown even thicker.

Just now, she had taken the initiative to kick that final door open.

It turned her faint feeling into reality…

The Lightning Tribulation had arrived.

With a loud rumble.

A flash of lightning lit up the horizon.

The bolt struck down, landing in the courtyard, hitting Su Qing's body.

Su Qing took the hit head-on.

She felt an excruciating pain throughout her body…

As if her bones were shattered and her flesh scraped away. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

"This is what Yuer called 'not too difficult'?"

Without needing to look, Su Qing knew that a large part of her body was charred black.

However…

Su Qing did not retreat.

Although she had a way out, if she couldn't even withstand this Transformation Tribulation, wouldn't the subsequent Core Formation Tribulation be even harder to endure?

Su Qing tensed her body.

The second tribulation lightning bolt crashed down.

This strike was even more powerful than the last.

Su Qing felt as if her flesh had been peeled off, and her shattered bones were being crushed once more.

She no longer hesitated, quickly focusing on circulating her spiritual energy.

To repair her body.

Following that, the third, fourth, and fifth tribulation bolts struck in succession.

A foul, burnt smell had already begun to drift through the courtyard.

Su Qing was battered and dizzy…

Barely holding on.

At this moment, Su Qing's flesh and blood were a mangled mess, her entire body charred black, with not a hint of green visible…

"This really hurts…"

Su Qing rubbed her head.

She felt as if she was about to die.

"A hand?"

Su Qing thought in confusion.

But she couldn't dwell on it, because she could feel the final lightning tribulation gathering, about to descend.

She quickly moved her snake tail, coiling her body.

She formed a seal with her hands, condensing her spiritual energy.

Wanting to withstand this final tribulation lightning head-on.

A flash of purple light appeared within the dense, dark clouds.

The tribulation lightning was dyed purple.

Su Qing felt a prickling on her back, as if taking this strike head-on would result in her being smashed to pieces.

For a moment, the thought of retreating rose in her heart.

She wanted to withdraw from the range of the lightning tribulation. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

"No... I can't leave! I can withstand this tribulation lightning!"

A spark of fighting spirit ignited in Su Qing's heart.

This was already the final bolt.

As long as she endured it, the storm would pass.

But if she couldn't, she would become a monster with a human head and a snake's body.

Although she could rely on the Transformation Pill to transform…

Su Qing felt that if she couldn't withstand this tribulation, it would bring some shame to her master.

It wasn't that Su Qing was a person who cared much about face.

But she still wanted to see if she could endure it completely.

Besides, there were some benefits to fully enduring the Transformation Tribulation.

In the rain, Patriarch Bodhi gazed at the tribulation lightning in the sky.

A hint of displeasure showed on his face.

With a wave of his horsetail whisk, the might of the lightning seemed to weaken slightly, but the purple aura grew much stronger.

Seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi was somewhat satisfied and turned to go back inside his room.

The purple lightning descended.

It struck the courtyard.

Viewed from afar, one could only see a bloom of purple light.

It was somewhat blinding.

Luo Yingjun watched the commotion in the courtyard from a distance, feeling a little worried.

"This final tribulation lightning is so strange…"

"I wonder if Junior Sister can withstand it."

Hearing this, the few little sparrows on Luo Yingjun's shoulder.

Couldn't help but chirp:

"Big Sister Xiao Qing isn't that weak!"

"Big Sister Xiao Qing can definitely get through it!"

"That's right, that's right! I think so too!"

"It's just a mere purple lightning tribulation! It definitely can't harm Big Sister Xiao Qing in the slightest!"

"That's right, that's right!" came from the chubby bird again.

The sparrows chattered away, as if they were speaking to Luo Yingjun, and as if they were giving themselves a pep talk.

"Senior Sister, don't worry... Junior Sister isn't the kind of snake to push for a win without confidence." Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

Liu Yingtong held an umbrella, looking at the distant courtyard, and said:

"Besides, Junior Sister is Master's most valued disciple... her talent is absolutely top-notch, there will definitely be no problem."

"Furthermore, although this lightning tribulation is strange, it isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"As the saying goes, 'Purple Qi comes from the east.' This lightning tribulation contains a purple aura, which will surely be beneficial to Junior Sister."

Luo Yingjun looked at her junior brother in confusion and said:

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Liu to know so much."

"If Senior Sister listened more during lectures on normal days, she would also know this much."

Luo Yingjun couldn't help but pout at his words. She just didn't like to read, but she was very attentive during lectures.

She looked up. The lightning had dissipated; the tribulation was clearly over.

"Senior Sister... shall we go over?" Liu Yingtong asked, seeing the lightning had ended.

But just as he was about to walk over, he was stopped by Luo Yingjun.

"I'd better go first!" Luo Yingjun said, the corner of her mouth twitching.

Only then did Liu Yingtong react, quickly saying:

"It was I who was reckless, I almost made a mistake. Then Senior Sister should go first."

Luo Yingjun nodded slightly, took the paper umbrella, and walked into the rain.

Soon, she was the first to arrive at the courtyard.

She also closed the gate behind her.

"Junior Sister Yingqing?"
