"[Thunder Bead]? But the one you traded from Yu Yuanjin?"

There was no emotion or anger on Zhenjun Yunlan's face and he asked the Taoist companion next to him.

The Earth Rock Rat was able to withstand the terrifying thunder catastrophe of transformation, benefiting from the physical training, and the [Thunder Transformation Bead] played an important role.

"That's right."

True Lord Zixia smiled slightly and praised:

"This [Thunder Bead] was originally a catastrophe treasure that Master Xiang planned to have a baby for himself. In order for his spiritual pet to survive the catastrophe, he did not hesitate to waste his own opportunities."

She did not tell True Lord Yunlan about this matter in detail back then.

Because it is not a secret that Yu Yuanjin, the member of the Jin Dynasty royal family, appreciates and admires True Lord Zixia.

True Lord Yunlan kept a distance from Yu Yuanjin and did not want his Taoist companion to have too much contact with him.

"Zi Yan, you are really attentive to Master Xiang."

Under the afterglow of the dark clouds and thunder, the majestic face of True Monarch Yun Lan was dim and bright.

Due to events in her early years, Zixia was indifferent to him and had an estranged relationship with him. They lived separately and only maintained a superficial relationship.

Now, he is so dedicated to helping an outsider.

"Senior brother! I'm just an introduction to Master Xiang. I'm just doing it as a favor, and there's nothing to go beyond."

Zhenjun Zixia noticed the Taoist couple's displeasure and explained.

"Now it seems that I have done nothing wrong. If the Earth Rock Rat can successfully transform, it will be of great benefit to our sect. With the character of Master Xiang, I will remember the kindness of Yunxia Sect."

Hearing this, Zhenjun Yunlan could not refute, but there was still a knot in his heart.

Uh-huh!

At this time, the black air on the calamity cloud was thick, and an abyss-like vortex was formed during the rotation. Its core was extremely dark, like a magic pupil, staring at the rock rat.

"Heart Demon Tribulation!"

The two Nascent Soul Lords and the high-level monks who were paying close attention to the mountain sect felt their hearts tighten.

Three years ago, Master Yunqing failed at this level.

The calamity of the heart is so dangerous and unpredictable that it cannot be predicted by common sense. Even the top geniuses in the world dare not say that they are 100% sure of surviving it.

Lu Changan took a deep breath. He had confidence in the rock rat in the previous two levels, but he was not sure about this one.

The cloud of calamity, like the devil's eye in the abyss, twists and surges, exuding mysterious throbbing.

call!

An ominous gray wind and mist descended, emitting strange fluctuations of various negative auras, accompanied by the exotic sound of howling ghosts and wolves, engulfing the body of the Earth Rock Rat.

In the inner demon tribulation, no movement can be seen from the outside world.

But in the world of inner demons, there may be vicissitudes of life, nine reincarnations, and the world may collapse...

"Zi Yan, what do you think is the chance of winning this rat's heart tribulation?"

After a long time, True Lord Yunlan spoke, breaking the silence.

"As long as the great demon overcomes the tribulation, as long as it survives the first two levels, the difficulty of the final inner tribulation is slightly lower than that of human monks like us. That rock rat has a tough will, and with the 'Shangqing Pill', it should be about 50%

grasp."

True Lord Zixia pondered and analyzed.

When it comes to the final step, the Earth Rock Rat has indeed a better chance of winning than Yunqing did back then.

"Shangqing Dan? This is a fourth-level holy elixir that helps protect the Taoist heart. You actually gave the sect's treasures to an outsider without authorization?"

True Lord Yunlan said sullenly and in an unhappy tone.

The sharp contrast between the coldness and alienation of Taoist companions towards him and the favor and care towards outsiders made him feel annoyed.

"It's not a free gift, I'm just giving you the permission to exchange it as an exception."

True Lord Zixia sighed quietly and explained:

"Xiang Zhenren has been in the sect for decades. He is low-key and hard-working, does not fight for power, and is not fond of women. He once helped Haoer free of charge to tailor-make high-quality third-level puppets."

"For such a talented and down-to-earth alchemist, how can I do anything wrong by offering favors and winning people's hearts?"

"The Earth Rock Rat's impact and transformation, and reaching this point is a clear proof."

Fairy Zixia argued hard, with rare strength and no tolerance.

True Lord Yun Lan was startled for a moment, then smiled instead of getting angry: "Are you sure that the rat demon can survive the final mental tribulation?"

Fairy Zixia pursed her lips. Even though the demonic beast's heart calamity was weaker, it was still weird, unpredictable and dangerous.

"Even if the rat demon succeeds by luck, Xiang Dalong's humanity, true face, and whether he is grateful to you are all unknown."

True Lord Yunlan is much older than Zixia. He knows that people's hearts are unpredictable and understands human nature better.

Xiang Zhenren's current low-key duty is mostly based on the gap between strength and status.

"I believe in my own vision."

Zhenjun Zixia's tone was decisive. This was the confidence and intuition accumulated over the decades of recruiting Zhenren Xiang from every detail.

True Lord Yunlan sneered and stopped arguing. The future will prove everything.

…

A place to overcome calamity.

Lu Changan was responsible for protecting the Dharma, focusing on the Earth Rock Rat's transformation into a tribulation, and did not notice the argument between the two true kings.

A few hours later.

The gray wind and mist that shrouded the Earth Rock Rat suddenly dispersed, and the strange and exotic magical sounds stopped abruptly.

At the same time as the fog of inner demon tribulation dissipated.

The gray and black calamity clouds in the sky, the aura of calamity faded away like the tide.

Just like when the sky clears after the rain, the black and gray calamity clouds bloom with five colors of rays of light, forming a huge auspicious cloud.

The mysterious sound of the Great Dao sounded from the rotating colorful auspicious clouds, sending down invisible fluctuations of the Dao rhyme.

The rock rat opened its dark red eyes.

After a short period of time after the disaster, it showed a sign of enlightenment, closed its eyes and meditated again, accepting the gift of the Great Way of the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation.

In a huge charred pit.

The rat demon, which was several feet tall, shed its scarred black shell, and its body shrank significantly.

Eventually, it condensed into a muscular rat demon with streamlined muscle lines, dark rock-colored hair, and was only as tall as a person. The hair on the top of its head was dotted with a wisp of purple and gold.

Overall, it looks majestic yet noble.

Although he has not yet transformed into a human form, his sitting posture and manner make him look like a half-demon rat-man at first glance.

The seemingly small body becomes as heavy as a mountain with each breath, making everything quiet. The earthly evil spirit pressure belonging to the fourth-level monster comes into being in this world.

"The Transformed Demon King!"

At this moment, many of the Dan-forming monks of the Yunxia Sect were watching, their hearts throbbing. The terrifying demonic power they sensed was enough to rival the sect's Nascent Soul True Lord.

The two true monarchs on Zixia Peak were slightly shocked.

"Surviving the calamity of inner demons and becoming a fourth-level demon king... he actually made it happen!"

True Lord Yunlan stared at the colorful auspicious clouds in the sky, feeling caught off guard.

The main thing is that the Earth Rock Rat can go through the Heart Tribulation very quickly, taking less than half a day.

The original Master Yunqing stayed up all day and night, but in the end he died.

"Brother, don't underestimate a rat demon. As long as you work hard and have a clear conscience, anything is possible."

True Lord Zixia smiled sweetly and was in a happy mood.

The Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the fourth level, proving her choice and winning a match.

True Lord Yunlan's expression was gloomy and uncertain. The birth of the Demon King in the form of this sect was obviously a good thing, but he did not make him happy.

The Yunqing master he focused on training failed to conceive a baby, but this rat demon, which he was not optimistic about, successfully transformed into the Yunxia Sect.

This huge psychological gap made Zhenjun Yunlan feel very angry and resentful of the injustice.

"The Yunxia Sect's luck has recovered, which has helped the rat demon..."

True Lord Yunlan looked at the increasingly strong luck at the mountain gate, with a reluctant look on his face, and murmured in a difficult tone.

The collective luck of the sect is good, but it cannot be controlled by humans, so it falls on individuals.

True Monarch Yunlan judged that the success of Earth Rock Rat's advancement was somewhat due to the blessing of the sect's rising fortune.
