As for the Nascent Soul's tribulation, the Lihuo Flood Dragon was also well prepared.
In his hand, he not only holds the fourth-rank spiritual treasure [Dutian Fiery Flag], but also the ultimate treasure for overcoming tribulations [Purple Sky Mysterious Thunder Armor].
As for the other treasures, Li Huo Jiaolong had not prepared any. With his supreme combat power and background as a King Blood Jiaolong, it would be easy for him to survive the thunder tribulation with these two treasures.
Sure enough, only half a day later, the Lihuo Dragon survived seven thunder tribulations and did not even suffer much injury from beginning to end.
Finally, the Lihuo Jiaolong successfully survived the thunder catastrophe, transformed into a handsome red-haired young man with dragon horns on his head, and fell down, saluting to everyone.
"Ao Xuan greets the master and all the fellow Taoists. Thank you for protecting me."
Ye Linyuan nodded. The True Dragon clan has four major surnames, namely Zhu, Yuan, Long, and Ao. Among them, Zhu is an ancient surname and has the most respected status in the dragon clan.
Among the remaining three major clans, the Ao clan is the most common and noble. Lihuo Jiaolong took this as his surname, but it can be seen that he had great ambitions in this life.
However, Ao Xuan is a royal blood dragon, and his bloodline potential is comparable to that of ordinary spirits of heaven and earth. He is indeed qualified to use Ao as his surname.
For Ye Linyuan, Ao Xuan's breakthrough meant that the Ye family had one more powerful early Nascent Soul cultivator, and a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul cultivator who was guaranteed to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The most important thing is that Ao Xuan’s breakthrough represents a milestone event for the Ye family’s immortal clan.
This battle completely shattered the idea of several major forces to curb the rise of the Ye family. In the future, if the Ye family has any new Nascent Souls, they will probably find it difficult to take action.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Go and consolidate your cultivation first, and I'll talk about the rest after some time."
Ao Xuan nodded and immediately flew into Red Dragon Mountain.
After he left, Ye Linyuan looked at the ruined Chilong Mountain and sighed.
In this battle, Chilong Mountain suffered severe damage. Not only were more than a dozen golden elixirs and fake infant puppets destroyed, but the Ye family's immortal clan also lost more than twenty golden elixir cultivators and spirit beasts.
This is still relying on the mountain protection formation to fight. If a fierce battle had taken place in the outside world, the Ye family would probably have been crushed.
"You guys should repair the formation first."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked up into the distance.
But then a streak of light came flying from the sky. It was none other than the True Lord Taiheng who was feared by the people of Chixiazhou in Nanling.
At this time, Master Tai Heng saw that Ye Linyuan was fine, and immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm glad you're fine. This time, I was restrained by the immortal Yang family and was unable to come to your aid. I hope you won't blame me."
"Fellow Daoist, you have been a great help in restraining many Yuanying enemies. How can I possibly blame you?"
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile and said that his opponent this time was really strong, especially the Yang family which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and no one knew what kind of foundation they had accumulated.
It is reasonable to say that there is a dormant middle-stage Nascent Soul hidden there.
Although the Taiheng lineage has an equally ancient heritage and also has the dormant mid-Nascent Soul stage foundation, after all, the others have no relationship with Ye Linyuan and it is impossible for them to come out and help at a huge cost.
After all, these Yuanying Zhenjun who have been dormant for too long need a lot of resources to help restore their magic power every time they come out, and they are basically old and weak and no longer in their prime.
Letting them go out into the world to fight the enemy is basically no different from risking their lives. If there is no huge benefit or grudge, why would others take action?
Therefore, Ye Linyuan was already very satisfied that True Lord Taiheng could restrain several True Lords.
He quickly invited Master Tai Heng to the top of a main peak of the Red Dragon Mountain, and then took out a broken golden eagle body emitting a flame of Dao essence, as well as a sealed Nascent Soul, and said, "Daoyou, what do you think of this?"
"Flame Golden Eagle King!"
When Master Taiheng saw this scene, he immediately revealed a murderous intent, and there was even a hint of satisfaction on his face.
His beloved grandson was born with a nine-patterned golden elixir. At a young age, he had already reached the seventh level of the golden elixir. Logically, with his support, he would have a chance of becoming a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul in the future.
But the Fiery Golden Eagle approached it in the name of becoming its spirit beast in order to obtain a Heavenly Grade Beast King Pill.
After tricking him into taking out the Heavenly Grade Beast King Pill, he was killed, completely destroying the rising star of the Taiheng lineage. Otherwise, the Taiheng lineage might have had two overlords in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul today.
"This evil beast!"
Master Tai Heng gritted his teeth and couldn't help but reveal a murderous intent.
But he looked at Ye Linyuan, and then said decisively: "Thank you for avenging me, but can you give me this beast's body and Nascent Soul?"
"I am willing to trade with you four... no, four Heaven Grade Beast King Pills."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
He still had two Heaven Grade Beast King Pills left in his hand, but he still needed to form infant spirit objects for four king-blood spirit beasts: the Water Silkworm, the Fushan Turtle, the Cangyue Shell, and the Red Flame Spirit Phoenix.
Moreover, although ordinary king-blood spirit beasts have powerful bloodlines, there is still a possibility of failure in forming a fetus if they only rely on one heavenly-grade beast king pill.
Generally speaking, the success rate of a royal blood spirit beast in forming a baby in a single attempt is no more than about 50%.
Han Ji and the Fighting Golden Ape were able to conceive a baby at the same time. The reason for the former was that she had a greater potential to become king through fighting, and the old Ape King provided her with the superior spiritual object for conceiving a baby [Genjin Yuzu].
Han Ji was able to conceive a baby in one go because she had prepared both a Heaven Grade Beast King Pill and a top-grade ice-attributed spiritual object for conceiving a baby, and her bloodline had also already reached the level of a Half-Step King Blood Dragon.
However, the probability of the mountain guardian spirit beasts such as the Water Silkworm, the Mountain-carrying Turtle, the Cangyue Shell, and the Red Flame Spirit Phoenix breaking through in a single time with only the Heavenly Grade Beast King Pill spirit object is only about 50%.
In this situation, Ye Linyuan would definitely need a few more Heavenly Grade Beast King Pills.
In comparison, although the broken body and Nascent Soul of the Flame Golden Eagle are of great value, after all, they can only be used as materials for refining weapons after their death. Their value is probably not as good as four Heavenly Grade Beast King Pills.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Since you want it, I will give the remains and Nascent Soul of the Fiery Golden Eagle to you."
The two sides quickly completed the transaction, and Tai Heng Zhen Jun collected it with satisfaction, then stood up and bowed, saying: "I am going to go back and deal with this evil beast, so I will not stay here any longer."
"Fellow Taoist, walk slowly."
Ye Linyuan nodded and personally sent Master Taiheng away.
He then went to the retreat room and practiced in seclusion for a month, only then did he completely recover from his injuries.
After his injuries were completely recovered, Ye Linyuan summoned all the members of the Ye family and began to count the results of the battle.
In this battle, the Ye family's achievements were enormous. They killed a total of eight false infant ancestors, suppressed or severely injured four Yuanying True Lords, and a fourth-level puppet. After killing so many powerful enemies, the treasures they seized were naturally amazing.
Among them, there are hundreds of ordinary third-level treasures, but they are no longer worthy of Ye Linyuan’s attention.
The more valuable treasures include eight fourth-level low-grade talismans, twelve pseudo-spiritual treasures, three rare magic weapons, two fake infant-level puppets, and seven or eight golden elixir-level puppets.
These treasures were obtained from those fake infant ancestors, because they were caught off guard and many of their trump cards had not yet been played out. Otherwise, even if the Ye family could win this battle, they would have to pay a greater price.
Of course, the Fake Infant Ancestor must have more treasures than just these, but this battle was quite dangerous after all, so the opponent did not carry many treasures that were useless in battle.
For everyone in the Ye family, this batch of treasures can almost make up for the losses in this battle, which makes them quite satisfied.
Ye Linyuan put these treasures into the clan treasury, preparing to exchange them for more suitable resources or things for overcoming tribulations in the future, and then looked at the remaining truly precious treasures.
At Ye Linyuan's level, a fake infant puppet or a fourth-order low-grade talisman are actually not of much help.
Among the treasures seized in this battle, the only ones that were of some value in his eyes were the treasures of a few Yuanying True Lords.
Among these fourth-tier treasures, the Nascent Soul Puppet was originally the most valuable, but because its core components were destroyed, it had completely lost its combat effectiveness.
However, Ye Linyuan has no shortage of core components, so it is not difficult to disassemble and reassemble a fourth-order puppet.
Among the several Nascent Souls, the Sea-Splitting Crazy Dragon was quite powerful and almost broke out of the formation and escaped. In order to prevent it from escaping, the Old Ape King had to kill its Nascent Soul.
After killing the Sea-Splitting Mad Dragon, the most valuable things left were its wreckage, a low-grade spiritual treasure, the Sea-Splitting Mad Blade.
After all, the Sea-Splitting Mad Blade is a spiritual treasure. It would be a good choice whether the Ye family members use it to sacrifice and refine it, keep it as a spiritual treasure for overcoming tribulations, or take it out for trading in the future.
The flesh and blood are of great use to Ye Linyuan in cultivating his spiritual body. The bones and scales can also be refined into a set of rare water-attributed armor, which can also become important parts of a fourth-level puppet.
However, True Lord Lei Yan and True Lord Liehuo did not leave behind many treasures.
It has not been too long since these two people formed their infants, and they have already consumed a lot in the previous war in order to escape. Now all they have left are just a batch of rare treasures that are not particularly precious.
Ye Linyuan took inventory and found that there was a total of one spiritual treasure, seven or eight spiritual objects for forming infants, and a number of various high-quality materials.
The spiritual treasure is called [Liang Yi Thunder Flame Pearl], which contains the power of thunder and fire. It is a powerful low-grade spiritual treasure. The key is that this treasure can absorb the power of thunder and fire, and it seems to be able to become a spiritual treasure for overcoming tribulations.
Unfortunately, Ye Linyuan was seriously injured in this battle. Fearing that the two would escape, he used all his strength to destroy them with the Tiangang Thunder Dragon Formation.
If Ye Linyuan was in his prime, then by capturing the Nascent Souls of these two people and combining them with the various fourth-level materials he had seized, he could have refined two extremely powerful spiritual treasures.
"You have all dealt with a lot in this battle, so you should also get a share of the spoils."
After counting the treasures, Ye Linyuan took out some of the seized treasures and distributed them to everyone in the Ye family.
After arranging all this, Ye Linyuan looked at the treasures in his hands and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
After this battle, the Ye family can relax and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but they'd better prepare some spiritual objects needed to overcome the tribulations in the Nascent Soul stage.
The others are fine, but the most critical one is the Water Silkworm. The Water Silkworm's strength is at the bottom among its peers, and it is extremely difficult for it to survive the thunder tribulation after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
Without adequate preparation, breaking through the Nascent Soul stage would be tantamount to seeking death.
"With the help of the Tribulation-Resisting Golden Pill and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor, the water silkworm may be able to survive the thunder tribulation, but the success rate may still not be high enough."
“Unless the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor is promoted to the level of a spiritual treasure, the water silkworm will have a greater chance of surviving the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.”
Ye Linyuan kept pondering, then looked at the Liang Yi Thunder Flame Pearl, his eyes slightly solemn as he said: "If I fuse the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor with the Liang Yi Thunder Flame Pearl, can I get a spiritual treasure-level treasure that can help me transcend tribulations?"
With this thought in mind, Ye Linyuan immediately took decisive action, gradually refining the Liangyi Thunder Flame Pearl, and then continuously merging it with the Jiuxiao Xuanlei Armor.
As time went by, after a few months, the two spiritual treasures were completely integrated, and the Liangyi Thunder Flame Pearl became the heart-protecting pearl on the chest of the Jiuxiao Xuanlei Armor.
"It's done."
Looking at the successfully upgraded Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
After successfully being promoted to a spiritual treasure, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor has become a top-notch product among lower-grade spiritual treasures, and its overall power has been increased by at least nearly doubled.
First of all, its thunder resistance is increased by 30%, and it can also absorb a large amount of additional thunder power, so its tribulation-crossing effect is increased by at least 80%.
"After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Armor was promoted to a spiritual treasure, not only did the water silkworm have a chance to survive the thunder tribulation, but even Ye Xuqiu and others had a better chance of achieving the Heavenly Dao Yuanying."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then called Ye Xuqiu, Ye Kunling, and Ye Yingxu and asked, "I have prepared the things to overcome the tribulation. Who among you three will form a baby first?"
When the three heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
The perfect spiritual objects for the three of them to form a baby had already been gathered. Among them, only Ye Xuqiu was prepared by Ye Linyuan, while the other two had prepared them themselves over the years.
Now that the perfect spiritual object for forming an infant and the Heavenly Infant Pill are ready, and with the help of the treasure for overcoming tribulations, it is time for them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"I'll go first."
Ye Xuqiu spoke, his eyes fixed as he said, "My breakthrough consumes the least energy, and the speed is also much faster."
The other two had no objection when they heard this.
Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan took out the Tianying Pill, the Lianxin Pill, a bottle of rare healing pills and recovery pills, the Bijie Golden Pill, two perfect infant-forming spiritual objects, and even the spiritual treasure Zixiao Xuanlei Armor.
Such thorough preparations for Nascent Soul formation are rare even among the overlord-level forces in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Ye Xuqiu put them away one by one, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to wait long, I will succeed in this breakthrough in a month."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuqiu stepped into the retreat room and began to work on his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
In fact, Ye Xuqiu's breakthrough this time was indeed as rapid as he said. After less than ten days, a huge vortex of spiritual energy appeared above the sky, and it was obvious that he had initially completed the process of breaking the pill and forming an infant.
The most domineering gold and fire method can condense the Nascent Soul so quickly.
As the vortex of spiritual energy emerged, more than half a month passed and Ye Xuqiu completely stabilized his Nascent Soul. He then calmly walked out of Chilong Mountain.
At this time, the thunderstorm above the sky has gradually taken shape. (End of this chapter)
