The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 724: Chapter 362: Zhi Ling’s Transformation Tribulation
 

Decades later, Zhi Ling diligently cultivated and was about to face the Transformation Tribulation. If she could overcome this tribulation, she would be able to transform into human form and speak the human tongue.

After some consideration, Lin Yi decided to let Zhi Ling undergo the tribulation in her current identity as a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, because even after the tribulation, she wouldn’t immediately transform into human form. She would need to absorb the energy left by the Heavenly Tribulation to remodel herself.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Since a fabricated identity allows Zhi Ling, the Spiritual Pet, to possess another identity, then upon reaching transformation, she should also be able to project a corresponding human appearance.

Furthermore, having Zhi Ling face the Transformation Tribulation in the guise of a Vermilion Bird descendant would solidify the belief in the hearts of the Demon Tribe’s Tribulation Patriarchs that she was a being descended from the Immortal Realm.

A fabricated identity is equivalent to one’s own true self; it’s just an additional layer on the surface under the influence of a title. Any abilities gained through cultivation still belong to the individual.

Just as Zhi Ling, as a descendant of the Vermilion Bird undergoing the tribulation, would enjoy the benefits of crossing the tribulation herself, under the influence of the title, the appearance of her fabricated identity would change as well.

Of course, while fabricated identities are beneficial, one must not rely on them all the time and forget their true form. After all, it’s the cultivation of the real self that matters, not a fabricated one.

Therefore, this time in the Spirit Profound Realm, Lin Yi planned to attempt crossing the tribulation as his true self, then ascend to the Immortal Realm to forge his own path to immortality.

Two years later, Zhi Ling’s Transformation Tribulation began. Over the eight to nine hundred years since entering the Spirit Profound Realm, he constantly used the title of Shovel Man to enhance Zhi Ling’s bloodline, making the bloodlines of the Lightning Mink and Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink extremely rich.

The white lightning symbol on her brow even took on a hint of purple, looking even more majestic than the white lightning mark.

With such a bloodline, there was no question about her passing the Transformation Tribulation.

As for the legendary Devouring Heavens Ferret, once Zhi Ling transformed and he reached the Body Fusion Realm, Lin Yi planned to accumulate more Virtue Points, then attempt to awaken it.

In the days leading up to the tribulation, Lin Yi stayed alert within his Cave Mansion. He also gave a heads-up to a few Monster Ancestors, indicating that his Spiritual Pet Xian Yu was about to undergo the Transformation Tribulation within the city, asking them for a convenience.

Thus, after deliberation, the Monster Ancestors chose a spot on top of a tower in the Golden Peng Clan Region for the tribulation. Once the location was decided, Lin Yi set up some formations in advance. If any accidents occurred, he could activate the formations immediately to resist the Heavenly Tribulation and ensure Zhi Ling’s safety.

Zhi Ling, sensing the imminent arrival of the Transformation Tribulation, arrived atop the tower in advance. Two days later, she was ready and released her aura, attracting the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Suddenly, within the cloudless sky, a dark cloud formed, gradually brimming with thunder and lightning, darting back and forth with flashes, more startling than the Ascension Tribulation that had cleansed the otherworldly aura.

The Demon Tribe members passing by the tower moved away, gathering at a distance to watch. Most of those who could enter Big Monster City were transformed Monster Beasts, so they were very familiar with such tribulations.

In their hearts, they speculated who dared to undergo the Transformation Tribulation within Big Monster City. Generally, only the distinguished offspring of The Five Major Demon Clans had such a privilege, while other tribes had to face tribulation outside the city.

However, when they saw the light red bird flying in midair above the tower, they realized it was the Golden Serpent’s Spiritual Pet facing the tribulation and naturally had the right to remain within Big Monster City.

The five Tribulation Demon Patriarchs, sensing the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, also flew over. They greeted Lin Yi and hovered in midair, watching the descendant of the Vermilion Bird endure the tribulation.

Previously, both Lin Yi and his Spiritual Pet, nicknamed Xian Yu, had faced the Ascension Tribulation that cleansed the otherworldly aura with ease, as if they were using the Heavenly Tribulation as a tool for purification.

It was unknown what kind of performance this descendant of the Vermilion Bird would exhibit when facing the Transformation Tribulation, a life-and-death challenge for Monster Beasts.

Typically, Monster Beasts don’t often succeed in crossing the tribulation on their first attempt. Most require two attempts, and if they still fail after three, then transformation is out of their reach.

Lin Yi watched intently from the side. The Heavenly Tribulation had to be faced and could not be avoided; thus, the formidable speed of the Lightning Mink no longer played a role.

The Heavenly Tribulation is a test that must be confronted head-on, without any chance for trickery. Continuously dodging its strikes with speed would only make the tribulation grow stronger.

Although speed is the advantage of the Lightning Mink, this doesn’t mean its body isn’t strong. How else could it support such lightning-fast speed without a robust physique?

More importantly, the Lightning Mink possesses the Lightning Bloodline, which means the damage caused by thunder and lightning is somewhat mitigated.

For this first wave of the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, Zhi Ling’s choice was exactly like White Painting’s. She flew straight up into the sky, directly facing the tribulation head-on.

Under the immense Heavenly Tribulation, her form as a descendant of the Vermilion Bird still appeared quite fragile, like a moth rushing towards a flame.

White Painting, Big Bull, and others also arrived nearby to watch Zhi Ling’s tribulation. Having ascended through the Transformation Tribulation themselves, they knew full well its terror.

Seeing Zhi Ling rushing towards the Heavenly Tribulation without any protection, they couldn’t help but reveal expressions of astonishment.
