The tribulation clouds came aggressively and left in a panic.
It couldn't finish striking, it simply couldn't finish striking!
This was not what a tribulation cloud of its age should endure!
Just like the tribulation for the Golden Core stage, after successfully passing the tribulation, pure energy from the Heavenly Dao descended upon Wen Xiangjie, smoothly elevating her cultivation to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The perfectly round Golden Core in Wen Xiangjie's dantian shattered, and a delicate miniature figure, identical to Wen Xiangjie, appeared inside, sitting cross-legged within her dantian.
This was Wen Xiangjie's Nascent Soul.
Once Cultivators possessed a Nascent Soul, it was equivalent to having a second life.
As long as the Nascent Soul did not perish, the Cultivators would not be destroyed.
Many powerful figures from ancient times were able to linger until now, relying on their powerful Nascent Souls to continuously seize other bodies.
Qing Gui, who was even more concerned about the outcome of the tribulation than Wen Xiangjie herself, immediately looked towards Wen Xiangjie after the tribulation clouds dispersed.
However, what attracted his attention even more than Wen Xiangjie were the treasures scattered all over the ground.
The sharp-eyed Qing Gui immediately noticed the massive, mountain-like heavy seal standing before Wen Xiangjie.
Mountain Suppressing Seal!
He had an impression of this treasure!
It was the proud creation of Refining Master Yin Feng, rumored to be able to withstand at least the first four tribulation lightning strikes when assisting Cultivators in passing the Nascent Soul tribulation!
One must know that the Nascent Soul tribulation only consisted of ten tribulation lightning strikes in total, so a treasure that could help Cultivators withstand at least four of them was truly priceless!
As soon as the reputation of this treasure spread, it immediately attracted many Cultivators and demonic Cultivators who were about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage or Demon Infant Stage.
Qing Gui, who was still at the perfected Golden Core stage at the time, naturally heard of this treasure.
However, although he was a somewhat famous bounty hunter, his wealth was completely incomparable to those great devils or Cultivation World sects and Cultivation Families; such a treasure was simply not something he could hope for.
It was said that the Mountain Suppressing Seal was ultimately acquired by a Cultivation Family for the price of 15 million spirit stones.
He hadn't expected that the Cultivation Family that acquired this Mountain Suppressing Seal was the Wen Family, to which Wen Xiangjie belonged.
Looking again at the giant shield hovering above Wen Xiangjie, it was said to be made from a piece of shell from an ancient Xuanwu clan, possessing astonishing defensive power.
There were even more treasures that he didn't recognize at all, but which were clearly extraordinarily valuable at a glance.
Qing Gui's eyes turned red with jealousy.
No wonder Wen Xiangjie seemed perfectly fine after passing the tribulation, full of vigor and spirit; it didn't look like a tribulation at all, but rather like she had gone on vacation.
The pile of treasures laid out on the ground, even if only a few were taken out, would be enough for Cultivators to easily pass the Nascent Soul tribulation, yet Wen Xiangjie alone possessed such a large pile; it was simply a waste of heavenly resources!
These damned Cultivation World prodigies! They wasted too many resources!
Having easily passed the Nascent Soul tribulation, a series of system prompts once again sounded in Wen Xiangjie's ears.
“Congratulations, you have successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage, rewarding you with 20 free points.”
“Congratulations, you have achieved the accomplishment of being the youngest Nascent Soul Stage True Person in the history of the Cultivation World, rewarding you with 50 free points.”
“Detected that the game dungeon has issued free point rewards; the replication system has replicated 70 free points for you.”
The points rewarded by the system were as stingy as ever.
Fortunately, there was still the replication system to double the rewards.
Wen Xiangjie's free points, which had almost bottomed out, finally recovered a wave, becoming 142 points.
She waved her right hand, putting the scattered treasures back into her storage ring.
The jade pendant at her waist hummed softly, and Qing Gui reappeared before Wen Xiangjie.
“I didn't expect you to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.” Qing Gui stared at Wen Xiangjie with jealous eyes: “But your good luck ends here. Good, let me personally send you on your way.”
“What do you mean 'good luck'? Isn't this my strength?” Wen Xiangjie asked with a puzzled expression: “With so many treasures, if each blocks one lightning tribulation for me, it should be enough for me to pass the Nascent Soul tribulation more than a dozen times, right?”
While talking to Qing Gui, Wen Xiangjie opened her system panel and continued to allocate points to herself.
“Do you wish to consume 30 points to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?”
“Do you wish to consume 50 points to break through to the Later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?”
In one go, she once again raised her cultivation by two minor realms, and the free points that had just become abundant immediately dwindled again.
“You! This is cheating! Not the righteous path of cultivation! Using treasures to pass the tribulation, what kind of proper tribulation is that?!” Qing Gui's voice was so angry it was almost cracking.
Wen Xiangjie pointed her index finger at Qing Gui, then at herself.
“You, a demonic Cultivator, are discussing the righteous path of cultivation with me?” Wen Xiangjie looked perplexed, then she showed a look of sudden realization and said with a smile: “You couldn't possibly be jealous that I can use so many treasures to help me block the tribulation lightning, while you can only endure it head-on, could you? Don't be too possessive of other people's treasures.”
Qing Gui, having his thoughts exposed, became enraged out of shame, and he directly drew his great saber and charged towards Wen Xiangjie.
He was going to chop this damned Cultivator into pieces!
As long as she died, all her treasures would belong to him, Qing Gui!
Thinking this, much of the anger in Qing Gui's eyes dissipated, replaced by greed and desire.
A mere early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, wasn't she easy to capture?
Facing Qing Gui's fierce charge, Wen Xiangjie unhurriedly took out the Sword of Annihilation, which the Lingqi Peak Master had specially refined for her, capable of bearing the power of her lightning spirit root.
The Elf Queen waved her small hand, and an Arrow Rain of Light fell, instantly slowing Qing Gui's movements as he attacked Wen Xiangjie, while multiple wounds corroded by the Arrow Rain of Light also appeared on his body.
After forming a blood pact with Wen Xiangjie, the Elf Queen's cultivation would always remain synchronized with Wen Xiangjie's.
Now that Wen Xiangjie was in the Later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, the Elf Queen's cultivation was naturally also in the Later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Arrow Rain of Light of a Later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm was naturally not something Qing Gui's physical body, being in the middle Demon Infant Stage, could withstand.
Qing Gui hadn't put the Elf Queen in his eyes at all.
In his opinion, the Elf Queen was nothing more than a beautiful, useless pet that was a bit cute; female Cultivators in the Cultivation World just loved to raise these useless things.
So, when he noticed the Elf Queen casting an Arrow Rain of Light at his location, he didn't take the Elf Queen's attack seriously at all.
However, very quickly, the intense burning pain from his body made him realize how terribly wrong he was.
How was this possible?
A useless pet, actually able to harm him?!
However, Qing Gui now had no time to ponder the Elf Queen's unusualness, because Wen Xiangjie had already come forward, longsword in hand.
Qing Gui's Scarlet Flame Great Saber, wrapped in a raging, lava-like, violent saber aura, tore through the air and struck down!
But the longsword arrived first, its tip precisely striking the side edge of the saber's blade where it was least resistant, and the sword light, carrying a faint sound of wind and thunder, effortlessly pierced through the surging crimson saber aura!
