Biji pampered Dongfang Jing for a while, then released him with satisfaction.
Looking at his ruffled silver hair and flushed cheeks, his purple eyes still held a hint of embarrassment and a touch of resentment,she felt incredibly happy, a surge of indescribable affection welling up inside her.
Just as she was about to tease her adorable disciple again, Dongfang Jing cautiously took two steps back, waving his hands repeatedly, "Master, no more!"
He was puzzled; his master didn't seem to be this kind of person after all.
Seeing this, Biji gave up, ceasing her teasing, and covered her lips with a light laugh, completely unlike the gloom of seven days ago.
She gently flapped her emerald-like wings, her voice tinged with trepidation: "Aren't you curious about what happened to your master? And what I look like now?"
Dongfang Jing nodded honestly: "Curious. You must be a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, right? But I don't care about that. No matter what, you will always be my master!"
"Little Mirror," Bi Ji had expected this, but hearing these words still stirred her heart.
Dongfang Jing suddenly remembered that her master had been sleeping in the egg for seven whole days.
She was so greedy; her stomach must be rumbling with hunger.
She suggested, "Master, go back to your room and rest. I'll go prepare the meal."
"Okay," Bi Ji agreed with a smile, and before leaving, she couldn't help but rub her disciple's head.
This unusual behavior was perfectly understandable.
It wasn't that Bi Ji's reaction was so drastic; she was simply too excited!
After drinking the Mirror Spring of Glimmering Light, she felt an astonishing transformation in her body! Of course, it was for the better!
Even more gratifying was that her cultivation had broken through to 530,000 years!
A soul beast's cultivation level has increased for fifty thousand years! This can no longer be considered a stroke of luck; it's practically defying the heavens! This shows just how astonishing the Mirror Spring of Glimmering Light and the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors truly are!
However, just as she turned around, her steps abruptly halted.
Looking up, she saw the sky filled with dark clouds, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and a massive cloud of tribulation slowly gathering above her head.
The Great Tribulation of Soul Beasts! This was her fifth tribulation!
Despite having cultivated for 530,000 years, she still couldn't escape this calamity.
Bi Ji's heart tightened.
In the past, she had only been able to safely overcome tribulations thanks to the protection of the Beast God Di Tian.
Now, having absorbed the energy of the Mirror Spring of Glimmering Light, if she had enough time to accumulate power,
Bi Ji was confident she could handle it alone!
But at this moment, she had just completed her transformation, a state similar to someone who had just awakened from a deep sleep, not yet fully stable, and absolutely unable to withstand this tribulation!
Going to find Di Tian now was too late, especially since he was also asleep!
The situation was beyond Bi Ji's expectations; her cultivation had improved far too suddenly, something she could never have imagined!
After all, her original plan was to wait for Di Tian to awaken before facing the tribulation!
As the tribulation clouds grew thicker, she suddenly felt her arm being firmly gripped, and the scene before her changed rapidly, instantly placing her in the mirror space.
When she regained her senses, she was back in the forest.
This happened several times before she realized it was Dongfang Jing holding her wrist tightly.
The young man, his brow furrowed and expression grave, repeatedly used Mirror Travel to quickly lead her away from the Emerald Swan's habitat and to a clearing forest.
The tribulation clouds in the sky followed them relentlessly, no matter where they moved.
Seeing this, Dongfang Jing knew the lightning wouldn't dissipate until it struck, so he stopped and waited.
He fully activated his eye soul bone, even able to clearly see the thick lightning snakes churning within the clouds!
The lightning grew increasingly intense, and in an instant, a thunderbolt struck down directly towards Bi Ji!
"Boom!"
The earth shook, the wind and clouds changed color!
Amidst flying sand and stones, vegetation was snapped, and surrounding soul beasts fled in terror, their cries of agony echoing!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A total of five bolts of lightning tore through the sky, scorching five clearings a thousand meters apart in the forest, where flames roared.
Only after the last bolt of lightning struck did the tribulation clouds slowly recede, and the sky returned to its azure blue and white hues.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Dongfang Jing, accompanied by Bi Ji, reappeared in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
"Cough, cough!"
Dongfang Jing coughed twice, choked by the acrid smell, and waved away the dust in front of him.
He stopped activating his soul bone, feeling his eyelids heavy and his eyes stinging.
After closing his eyes for a while, he looked around at the apocalyptic scene and couldn't help but feel horrified.
The power of this heavenly tribulation was indeed terrifying; if struck, one would surely be reduced to ashes!
But the prerequisite was that one had to be struck.
Using the mirror-like movement, he switched back and forth between reality and the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors. When the heavenly lightning struck, he took Bi Ji and hid in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
When the lightning subsided, they returned to reality.
Lightning struck, he dodged, he came out again, lightning struck again, he dodged again, and so on. In such a dramatic way, Bi Ji survived this five-hundred-thousand-year tribulation unscathed!
It was very dangerous; if Dongfang Jing had reacted even a fraction slower, he and Bi Ji would have died.
But the heavenly tribulation of a soul beast, from gathering energy to form lightning, and then the lightning striking down from the sky, there was a process.
Dongfang Jing, through the insight and far-sightedness of his eye-shaped soul bone, was able to witness the entire process!
The instant the lightning struck, he immediately pulled Biji into the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
Biji was speechless with astonishment at this action. Although it had severely impacted the forest environment, she felt her heart still pounding;she had truly survived the calamity without Di Tian's protection!
The process had been perilous, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
Therefore, Dongfang Jing hadn't focused on controlling his strength.
Now that it was all over, he quickly released her, saying, "Master, I..."
However, when he looked at Biji's wrist, he found it completely unharmed, without even a red mark.
Biji smiled gently, "I am a soul beast, not as fragile as you think."
"Oh, oh, that's true."
While saying this, Biji still secretly put her hands behind her back.
Her slender fingers unconsciously twisted together behind her back.
With her other hand, she gently stroked the spot where Dongfang Jing had just held her tightly, her fingertips lingering on that skin.
A ripple of emotion stirred within her as she thought,'So, besides his gentleness and tenderness, my disciple also possesses such a domineering side.'
Then, this time, it was Biji who led Dongfang Jing to the five locations struck by the heavenly tribulation.
Ultimately, this devastation was Biji's fault, and given her consistently responsible nature, she would certainly handle the consequences personally.
She stood before a patch of scorched earth and slowly unfurled her emerald-like wings.
In an instant, a dazzling yet gentle green light rippled outwards like water, illuminating the destroyed forest.
The light was warm and full of life, like the most radiant sunshine in spring.
Immediately afterward, the flames still burning among the trees were extinguished by the green light.
The charred branches visibly rejuvenated, tender green buds sprouting from the blackened bark, swaying gently in the forest breeze.
This scene could perhaps be explained by Brigitte's incredibly powerful healing abilities.
After all, Brigitte can heal any living thing using her unique life-restoring ability.
However, Dongfang Jing, standing nearby, keenly noticed that not only the plants, but even the charred soil and rocks were eerily disappearing under the green light!
The charred marks faded away like ink being washed away, until finally, the entire land was completely restored!
It was impossible to tell that this place had once been such a ruin!
If plants were living things that could be healed, Dongfang Jing could understand, since that was Brigitte's forte.
But these rocks were completely inanimate objects;this was far beyond the scope of healing!
