Novel Full Chapter 512
Chapter 512: Chapter 38 Ying Lian’s Tribulation, Senior Brother Protector Chapter 512: Chapter 38 Ying Lian’s Tribulation, Senior Brother Protector “Changgeng, what type of treasures are you planning to request this time?” Elder Ge asked straightforwardly.
Qiu Changtian already had a clear idea and replied:
“I need a defensive magical treasure and one that enables large-area attacks.”
The reasoning is quite straightforward, as Qiu Changtian currently possesses a robust and abundant True Yuan, along with the Five Thunder True Law and the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword in hand, his ability for single-target breakthrough attacks is almost maxed out.
However, on the flip side, there are notable deficiencies in defense, area attacks, and escape capabilities-simply because his own strength is outrageously high, most enemies faced by him can’t even retaliate before being obliterated by him, and thus these shortcomings haven’t been revealed.
Since Qiu Changtian needs to maintain his invincible character setting, fleeing is out of the question.
When it comes to truly critical moments, he can only fall back on Ah Jing.
Therefore, what he currently needs to focus on improving are his abilities for self-defense and area attacks.
For defensive magical treasures, like the Yunlang Frost Ice Pot he used to overcome tribulation previously, the requirement is that it can withstand large-scale Daoist magic attacks from enemies.
For large-area attack treasures, like Xu Yinglian’s Great Bright Fire, the requirements are for rapid deployment, tremendous range, with the added bonus of providing isolation effects for sound, light, aura, or even Divine Sense.
As for the consumption of True Yuan, as long as the power is strong and appropriate, it’s not a problem.
“Hmm,” Elder Ge pondered for a moment before proceeding into the inner hall.
Shortly after, he returned with two magical treasures.
One was a mist-like veil named the “Taiqing Yuanqi Smoke Haze,” capable of weakening any attacks passing through it, including physical attacks like flying swords, as well as Daoist magic such as the Great Bright Fire.

At first glance, it seemed like an enhanced upgrade of the Green Duckweed Sword’s “Green Mist Veil Over the Mountains,” but it couldn’t completely block physical attacks-only slow them down.
The other was a jade flute, named the “Tide Pushing Wave Flute,” which could generate waves of sound when True Yuan was infused into it and played, pushing away everything in the surroundings outward.
More importantly, the sound waves generated by this flute were not classified under the Five Elements, thus making them nearly impossible to be specifically countered or restrained by any means.
Qiu Changtian was quite satisfied with these two magical treasures.
He had already envisioned that in the future, when it was time to make an entrance, he would don the Taiqing Yuanqi Smoke Haze and wield the Tide Pushing Wave Flute, gracefully arriving amidst the clear notes of the flute.
If an enemy shot flying swords at him, they would be slowed down as they entered the Taiqing Yuanqi Smoke Haze, then kept at bay by the waves of sound from the Tide Pushing Wave Flute, never getting close to him…
To onlookers, it would appear that Qiu Changtian is standing there, doing nothing as they attack, yet they couldn’t even touch an inch of his clothes.
Excellent!
Just like that!
After receiving the two magical treasures, Elder Ge promptly locked Fenbao Rock and then hurried toward the Jade Void Palace.
On Qiu Changtian’s side, he leisurely returned to Golden Ridge on his flying sword and met with Junior Sister Xu, who had returned to the cave residence, to inquire about the situation with True Person Su Ling.
“Elder Lingbao has taken over from Junior Brother Qiu’s mantle,” Xu Yinglian sighed, “Alas, it’s said that the elder originally had high hopes for Junior Brother Qiu, planning to designate him as the heir to the Daoist lineage after his Core Formation…
Who would have thought he would perish in that hidden heavenly realm within the book.”
“They say, among the reasons for the deaths of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in Kunlun over the years, half die from Core Condensing Celestial Tribulation, and four-tenths from exploring secret realms,” Qiu Changtian also lamented, “Those who actually fall during magical combats with opposing cultivators don’t even make up a tenth.”
“In the end, it’s still due to a lack of self-awareness,” Xu Yinglian shook her head, “I’m going to refine the power of the elixir, and then prepare to face the tribulation.”
“Brother, you…
will protect me during the tribulation, right?”
“Of course,” Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
One month later, Xu Yinglian faced her tribulation as scheduled in the Extreme West.
Kunlun’s faction not only deployed three elders (all adept in emergency healing Daoist magic) but Ziwei Master himself was present on site; they even invited Elder Shi Ding from Penglai to lay out the formation.
Sitting atop the mountain range, Qiu Changtian watched the heavy tribulation clouds press down in the distance and couldn’t help but feel a bit bored.
If one describes the experience of his own first tribulation as “Thrilling!
Perilous!”; and the second time watching Long Hu undergo tribulation as “A bit nervous, slightly worried”…
Then the third time watching Junior Sister Xu face tribulation, he thought, “With such a rubbish Heavenly Tribulation, Junior Sister could use her head to block it successfully.”
Xu Yinglian was forming a Second Grade Golden Core, and her tribulation type included the Five Elements Tribulation plus the Heart Devil Tribulation.
The Five Elements Tribulation Lightning is considered one of the most lethal among all heavenly tribulations, as it can counter almost any Daoist magic or magical treasure unless it is outside the scope of the Five Elements.
To counter the Five Elements Tribulation, one must possess at least three sufficiently powerful types of attacks within the Five Elements…for regular cultivators, where would they acquire so many Daoist formulas, magical treasures, or flying swords?
But for direct disciples like Xu Yinglian, with the right Cultivation Realm and resources, none of it is a problem.
Xu Yinglian first used the Supreme Jasper Spiritual Talisman to freeze the water system tribulation lightning in the sky, then used the Shangyang Sword Qi of the Treasury to shatter them one by one.
Next, when facing the earth system tribulation lightning, she took out Lei Gong’s Hammer and Lei Gong’s Awl, borrowed from Qiu Changtian, and summoned a Divine Dragon made of Tai Xiao Thunder in the sky, devouring the tribulation lightning entirely.
The following wave was the wood system tribulation lightning.
Xu Yinglian spewed the Great Bright Fire all over the sky, and before the lightning could strike, it was directly ignited and exploded by the Great Bright Fire.
Then, the tribulation clouds spewed out a large amount of fire system tribulation lightning, and it turned out to be the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunder that Qiu Changtian had dealt with before, known for its tremendous lethality.
This type of thunder not only had a huge blast radius, but the trickier part was that the energy aftermath of each tribulation lightning explosion would be absorbed by other Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunders within the blast radius.
As the battle progressed, it would result in the heavenly tribulation creating a super-giant tribulation lightning to utterly obliterate the target.
In the face of the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunder, Xu Yinglian did not dare to be careless and immediately activated the formations she had previously laid out.
Massive amounts of spiritual power flowed into her body.
Xu Yinglian leapt into the sky, quickly forming a Daoist formula with her hands, and transformed into a phoenix composed of flames!
The phoenix soared to the sky, its cries echoing across the Nine Heavens.
As it swept past the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunders, it instantly ignited and detonated them.
With the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunders exploding in succession, not only did the surrounding fire system tribulation lightning grow stronger, but the color of the flames that made up the phoenix itself became even more vivid and dazzling.
Qiu Changtian could see clearly that the fire system phoenix formed by his junior sister was competing with the Thunderbolt Bing Fire Thunders for the fire system spiritual energy that was spreading through their surroundings!
In the end, only a single Bing Fire Giant Thunder remained in the sky, spanning a radius of more than five hundred zhang.
It was much smaller than the Bing Fire Giant Thunder Qiu Changtian had faced that day-nearly half of its energy had been preemptively plundered by Xu Yinglian, giving the impression that the tribulation lightning was somewhat malnourished.
Qiu Changtian had shattered the thunder with the Five Elements Divine Light, but Junior Sister Xu, relying on her Phoenix True Blood, resolutely decided to directly confront the Bing Fire Giant Thunder in a head-on clash.
With a thunderous explosion that shocked the heavens, the flaming phoenix cried out in grief and fell into the center of the formation, revealing Xu Yinglian’s body covered with burn scars.
The power of the Bing Fire Giant Thunder had exceeded Xu Yinglian’s capacity for absorption, and the excess violent energy caused her severe injuries.
Yet Xu Yinglian’s fighting spirit remained undiminished.
She silently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and kept her gaze fixed on the tribulation clouds above.
The tribulation clouds descended to the space just above the ground and suddenly, a giant dragon burst through the clouds, bearing its fangs and claws as it charged towards Xu Yinglian.
This last wave of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning was the Xuan Dragon True Metal Thunder.
All the tribulation lightning gathered together to form the shape of a massive divine dragon.
Such outrageously proportioned tribulation lightning was nearly impossible to defend against or evade by any means.
The only method was to utterly destroy it!
Xu Yinglian gritted her teeth and galvanized the True Yuan within her body, continuously compressing it in her chest’s meridians before opening her eyes wide and spitting a very thin line of fire into the sky.
Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire!
???G?.??
Among the Five Elements, the fire system inherently overcomes the metal system, and Xu Yinglian’s Phoenix Bloodline had already perfected the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire in preparation to counter her senior brother’s Five Thunder True Law.
The fire line was concentrated and unyielding, like a brilliant golden thread that swept directly across the body of the thunder and lightning golden dragon.
With all her remaining strength, Xu Yinglian manoeuvred the fire, and the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire swiftly shuttled back and forth over the dragon three or four times in an instant, slicing the dragon into several sections and ultimately causing a colossal explosion.
The clouds of tribulation slowly dispersed, and Qiu Changtian, the Ziwei Master, along with the other three Kunlun Elders, immediately rushed to Xu Yinglian’s side to inquire about her condition.
“I have locked the Heart Demon in my Sea of Consciousness,” declared Xu Yinglian without concern for her burns, as she calmly swallowed an elixir and then settled down to meditate on the spot.
“I wish to eliminate the Heart Demon on my own, please forgive me, Master.”
“Good, good,” the Ziwei Master said twice in succession, turning to look at the three elders, “Then we will trouble you.”
“We will certainly ensure your disciple’s safety,” the three Kunlun Elders said in haste.
Having undergone the Heavenly Tribulation, Xu Yinglian had secured her Second Grade Golden Core.
Coupled with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, her background in the Xu Family of Southern Heaven and being the Daoist Companion of Changgeng True Person, her future on the Dao was destined to shine brightly.
Since it was just a matter of protection, the three Kunlun Elders were naturally happy to do Xu Yinglian this favor.
Qiu Changtian sat down by Xu Yinglian’s side, uttered not a single word, and merely nodded towards his master.
