Chapter 446: Tribulation Rewards
The tribulations deleveled the terrain, turning the mountain range into short hills. Many cave abodes of local cultivators were destroyed in the process.
Yet, no one complained. The rogue cultivators understood that they had been living in a no-man land, and they had no right to settle down in this area.
On the contrary, they were glad that the people of Siren City evicted them. Now, they had an excuse to migrate to the suburb of Siren City to enjoy the better environment.
The tribulation tornados and lightning storms went on for seven days before eleven of them were dispersed.
The yin slaves made it out first. Eleven of them came out injured and exhausted. However, their Life Essence and their cultivation base were strengthened.
Ju Chen's aura changed as she had an epiphany during the tribulation. Currently, red electricity static leaked out of her temples and her eyes, and her body felt hotter than usual.
Furthermore, Ju Chen felt like her soul was about to leave her body, showing a sign of an advancement. She rushed home to stabilize her cultivation base right away.
Jiang Lan was in a similar situation. Every time she exhaled, faint red and blue smoke came out of her mouth and nose, and her soul almost left her body. She was onto something, and she needed to enter a closed-door training ASAP.
Meanwhile, Liu Guang looked like a withered mummy. Her physical body turned into a cluster of sand, but every piece of dust inside her was a tiny insect, replacing her blood cells and human organs!
The mummy's trembling hand touched her spatial ring and brought out a bottle of elixir. She drank everything in one gulp and heaved a sigh of relief.
A second later, Liu Guang reverted back to her gorgeous vampire form. However, a poison black centipede accidentally crawled out of her nostril and slipped into her mouth.
Liu Guang expressionlessly chew the insect like a piece of gum and swallowed it. She mumbled something to herself and took out a blood bag to drink.
Her three heaven-grade weapons had been disintegrated and replaced a portion of her bones. From now on, she could turn her skeleton and bones into blades or sabers instead of using a real weapon!
Moreover, Liu Guang's cultivation base jumped to the great circle of the nascent soul realm!
The remaining girls glanced at Liu Guang in envy and shock. They went through the same tribulation, but this bug-loving vampire had surpassed everyone.
Refusing to lose, they hurried home. They, too, had enlightenment after going through the ordeal.
Everyone had the same mindset and ambition - Compete the others and become the strongest to earn the position of Miaomiao's main wife!
…
Seven days later, two of the three wives of Miaomiao, who wasn't called to follow him, came to the tribulation site to see the changes.
Emerald Hopea had been busy managing her subordinates and the World Tree Forest. Now that she was free, she came here to take the tribulation as well.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Eyes already dispatched the tribulation tornados. The dryad queen had to wait for the next opportunity.
Another woman who had failed to join in the fun was Wu Guotai.
The secret lover of Miaomiao came here on the pretext that everybody here needed supplies and support. Thus, Wu Guotai managed to slip outside and visit the site.
Upon finding out that she and Hopea couldn't take a tribulation, she was dejected, yet relieved.
Wu Guotai passed a thousand bottles of spring water to Hopea and returned home before Sun Wentai suspected anything.
Being left alone, Hopea waited for the remaining people to finish their tribulations. While she was at it, she injected some of her Chloro Element Qi into the ground, planting grasses, flowers, and trees to the wasteland hills.
…
A month after the tribulation tornados had started, Ju Shoufen managed to overcome it.
Two green flame wings behind Ju Shoufen's back were stronger than before. Her pupils also hid a spark of a miniature sun, containing the Golden Crow's Dao and enlightenment.
Moreover, her cultivation base reached the same level as Liu Guang. She had reached the limit of the nascent soul realm.
Ju Shoufen closed her eyes and reminisced of the past.
Last year, Ju Shoufen was just a 6th-stage cultivator. But now, after consummating with Miaomiao for countless years inside his Isolation Training Space and overcoming the tribulation, she had become a lot stronger than before.
Ju Shoufen also noticed. All Miaomiao's wives got stronger at a monstrous rate. Normally, ordinary cultivators had to cultivate for decades before they could advance from the 6th-stage to the 7th-stage.
Yet, she did it in a year!
"Miaomiao, I'm glad I met you."
The loli grandma burst into laughter. Now, she didn't feel bad about having the same husband as her granddaughter anymore.
BOOM
While Ju Shoufen was in good mood, more tornados were dispersed.
Mao Dandan and White Album came out.
White Album now had the same air as Xu Lanying. However, she had a power that the succubi didn't have.
Her Ice Element turned into Holy Ice Element. Her cultivation base was also at the same rank as Liu Guang and Ju Shoufen.
As for Dandan, she grew four beast wings, and her aura became similar to the Qiongqi cub.
Both Dandan and White Album looked around to check if everyone was alive. Upon discovering the remaining people inside the tornados, they frowned.
"Am I too early?" Dandan scratched her cheek as she gazed at Mao Xueyan's tornado.
"Nah, those remaining guys are abnormal monsters. Leave them be."
Everyone gazed at Miaomiao, Mao Xueyan, Zhao Yun, Kang Yan, and Ma Xingjuan. Their trials seemed to be more difficult than theirs.
The three women regrouped with Hopea, who had been setting a picnic camp nearby. She invited them for a tea party.
The four housewives sat around a wooden tea table and enjoyed the scenery. On the other hand, rogue cultivators and spectators sweated bullets, wondering why these women were so bold, having a tea party near a tribulation site.
Hopea inspected the constitution of Ju Shoufen. She looked into the loli grandma's pupils.
"Do you need time to consolidate your new power? Would you like a cup of World Tree's fruit juice? It can heal your soul."
Cernun Tree had grown strange smelly Durians, and the dryads had collected some of it for food. Hopea also had one with her.
The dryad queen cut the large fruit open and squeezed the yellowish things with her Qi into jelly-like liquid, which released foul odor,
Ju Shoufen ignored the smell as she was used to smelly herbs. White Album's expression was indifference, but she secretly filtered out the scent with her Holy Element Qi. On the other hand, Dandan covered her nose.
"What's this? Shit juice!?"
"How rude," Blood veins could be seen under Hopea's facial skin. She was offended, "This fruit is from the World Tree. It contains the Dao of Life and the Dao of Chloro Element. If you eat it raw, you can gather enough Chloro Qi to condense Chloro Element Crystal in your dantian. If you eat the diluted juice, it will heal your nascent soul and mental fatigue."
Noticing Hopea's mood, Ju Shoufen and White Album quietly took the cups of juice and drank them. On the other hand, Dandan retreated and shook her head repeatedly.
"No! I won't drink it!"
Finding Dandan's reaction funny, the three women's eyes glittered. Hopea instantly caught the tiger woman with her tree vines while Ju Shoufen and White Album cooperated.
Then, they force-fed the juice.
"Be a good girl and drink the whole cup. It helps!"
"UNHAND ME!! LET ME GO!! GET THAT THING OFF MY FACE!!
It was too late. The juice went into her mouth, unleashing the notorious smell, similar to the feces odor.
For most first-timers, it stank like poop.
Dandan thought that she drank poop juice!
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Instead of feeding Dandan a cup-worth of World Tree Durian Juice, Hopea, White Album, and Ju Shoufen poured a liter worth of liquid down her throat.
Dandan's survival instinct kicked in. Although she couldn't resist the forces of the three super experts, Dandan's constitution and physique evolved to survive.
Due to the side effect of the durian juice and Dandan's evolution, she accidentally condensed a compound element.
But that was a story for another time.
…
A month later
BOOM
Finally, the tribulation tornado of Zhao Yun was dispersed.
The rabbit girl was currently half-naked. Her body armor and artifacts were all destroyed, leaving only her tattered bikinis and her charred skin. Even her spatial rings were gone along with the items inside.
Although she lost so many items and protection artifacts during the two months of torture, she gained a lot from the tribulation.
Now, she was as big as an adult woman. Her bouncy breasts and curvy hips could even rival the vampires and the succubi.
Her crimson pupils were as clear as the blue sky. Everywhere she looked, she could see the lines of death and destruction. Every time she inhaled, Life Essence and elemental Qi energized her.
After resting for a minute, all her wounds were automatically healed!
Zhao Yun felt like she could stay in the tribulation tornado for a few more months with her current stamina and vitality!
Moreover, she had learned something from the shadow. She gazed at her hands and mimicked the shadow's technique.
An energy spear manifested in her hands. She could lengthen, shorten, or twisted it like a snake at will.
However, her skills came with a price. It accelerated her bodily growth, and her reproduction instinct was stimulated. Zhao Yun started looking around for Miaomiao.
Unfortunately, he was still busy in his tornado.
Without her husband to relieve her urge, Zhao Yun rushed home, thinking of the toy in her room.
BOOM
As soon as Zhao Yun had left, Mao Xueyan, Kang Yan, and Ma Xingjuan managed to outlast the tribulation tornados. They also came out unharmed.
Mao Xueyan, similar to Zhao Yun, was now in an adult form. She became a gorgeous snow leopard woman with round-G-Cup mountains and a long fluffy tail, but she held the tail with her mouth for an unknown reason.
She combed her soft tail and hummed in a good mood. She ignored everyone and returned to her room.
Kang Yan and Ma Xingjuan were in a daze at first, but they joined the other women, who were still holding a tea party. Although both women didn't know what had happened to Dandan, who was running around like a naughty cat during 3 AM, they paid respect to Hopea and the seniors first.
Ju Shoufen, White Album, and Hopea were still around. They smiled at the two women, "What did you get during the tribulation? Your aura doesn't seem to change much."
Kang Yan's cultivation base could no longer be detected or sensed. She became similar to a commoner, but she had the demeanor of a calm protagonist.
She humbly stated, "I just comprehended another sword dao. My strength is pretty much the same."
Ma Xingjuan also said something similar, being humble, "I manage to inherit a technique, but it will take time to comprehend it. Other than that, the tribulation just help me consolidate my foundation."
White Album giggled, "You girls, it's not good to lie to your sisters. Come on, aren't we a family?"
"Haiz," Ma Xingjuan hesitated, but she revealed the truth. However, she talked to them via voice transmission.
'During the tribulation, I experienced something bizarre. I had a realistic dream and witnessed the 150,000 years of Lu Fengxian when he was an immortal.'
"OHHH!!"
The housewives were satisfied with the answer. Then, they turned to Kang Yan, "What about you?"
Kang Yan also sighed and confessed.
'I also had a dream after the shadow merged with me. But it was a dream of a different place… the place that our husband doesn't exist.'
…
Six months after Miaomiao had been trapped in the tribulation tornado, the attacks of the mysterious shadow with his face ended.
Miaomiao, whose half of his body was reduced to a bloody torso with a dragon head and dangling intestines, hovered in the eye of the tornado. He slowly regenerated his missing legs and lower parts of his body.
He grumbled as the tribulation almost killed him several times. Even with his superior physique, cheating system skills, artifacts, abundant Life Essence, the experience was horrifying.
The reason was the shadow, who could use every skill that Miaomiao had learned. It was as if that someone had created him for this purpose.
The shadow smiled at him and gave him a thumbs-up, praising Miaomiao for his endurance.
"Damn copycat bastard… Hey, Dion, Devil. What is this clone's difficulty level? Can you evaluate him?"
Ding
[The Devil estimates that the shadow is twice stronger than you.]
"Thanks for the feedback."
Miaomiao sighed as he deeply inhaled. Then, his entire body was regenerated and healed!
"Come on! I'm ready! What do you want to hit me next!?"
The shadow shook his head. It shrugged and smirked at Miaomiao, annoying the latter again.
Then, while Miaomiao was dissing the shadow, it turned into smoke and entered Miaomiao's nostril.
Afterward, Miaomiao could hear his own voice in his head.
[What you're looking for is closer to you than you've ever imagined.]
RUMBLE
Something changed inside Miaomiao's heart and dantian. He felt like something had been born from the smoke that he had inhaled.
Ding
[Warning, you have merged with your shadow from the Jade Emperor's Divine Mirror of Judgment.]
[You have gained a huge amount of Luck Energy and your Incomplete Heavenly Fate Crystal's Energy has been filled! A new feature has been unlocked!]
[You can now simulate battles between yourself and anyone that you've encountered at least once in ITS.]
[You can challenge yourself with a higher difficulty level in Protagonist Rematch Mode. Defeating your shadow with a high difficulty will improve your battle experience and unlock your potential!]
