What do you mean by auspicious divine beasts?

Let me give you a few examples.

—For instance, the Kylin, which dispels disasters, wards off evil, and protects homes; the Hakutaku, which turns misfortune into fortune and danger into safety; the Brave Troops, which ward off evil, bring good luck, and attract wealth; and the Youshu, which can grant beautiful wishes upon sight...

And now you're telling me this slime is an auspicious divine beast?

I don't believe it.

Then what is a world-destroying fiend beast?

Let me give you a few examples.

—For instance, the Glutton, with the body of a sheep and the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, human claws, and a voice like a baby, devouring everything; the Poverty-stricken, shaped like a bull, resembling a tiger, with wings on its back, casually eating two people; the Taowu, looking like a tiger, with dog fur, a human face, tiger feet, a pig's mouth and teeth, and a tail eighteen meters long—without even mentioning its deeds, its appearance alone is enough to be a fiend beast...

And now you're telling me this slime is a world-destroying fiend beast?

I don't believe it.

[Tribulation Lightning... judging by its power, it should be Fivefold Tribulation Lightning. Fifth Junior Sister, I just reincarnated, and you've already managed to summon a divine beast? Am I, as a reincarnator, somewhat embarrassing?]

Lu Xingqiu looked up at the Tribulation Lightning in the dark clouds, his youthful face tinged with worry.

[It should be Fivefold Tribulation Lightning, which means this slime is either a world-destroying fiend beast or an auspicious divine beast... Fifth Junior Sister, did you go to such lengths just to attract Senior Brother's attention? It seems you're a worthy opponent...]

Luo Qingyan's expression was grave.

[So... so powerful, is this Tribulation Lightning? Why is there Tribulation Lightning? Am I still dreaming, is this actually a dream? Hmm, that should be the most reasonable explanation...]

Ning Yunmiao rubbed her eyes vigorously, seeing that the scene before her hadn't changed, she began the process of closing and opening her eyes again.

[Finally seeing Tribulation Lightning with my own eyes... but what is the principle of Tribulation Lightning in this world? Judging by the current situation, it seems like a large gathering of lightning elements, causing the Leyadara phenomenon, which is also mentioned in magical structural studies...]

Yu Qiaoxi gazed intently at the sky, beginning to observe seriously.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

No, are you guys out of your minds? This is Tribulation Lightning, Tribulation Lightning! Right above our heads, above! Can't you show it some respect?

Xiao Lin turned to look at his four junior brothers and sisters, wanting to give each of them a knock on the head.

But he didn't do it.

Because Xiao Lin knew that on Green Lotus Peak, even if the sky fell, their Master would hold it up.

As always, although their Master was not tall, her skills were extremely high.

Hmm, but thinking about it, I seem to not know Master's exact strength either, although I've never seen her lose a battle, I've also never seen her fight against Tribulation Lightning...

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin raised his hand and summoned his sword.

Although this sword had never been introduced, it was actually a pale cyan long sword with golden inscriptions, called Liuhan, a genuine Semi-Immortal Artifact—although with Xiao Lin's current Lower Core Formation Realm cultivation level, he couldn't fully unleash Liuhan's power, but... there was no choice. According to Leng Youxue, her eldest disciple's weapon couldn't be anything ordinary, otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her.

Leng Youxue: If outsiders saw it, they'd think we couldn't afford it!

Initially, Leng Youxue wanted to get an Immortal Artifact for Xiao Lin, but with Xiao Lin's cultivation level at the Lower Foundation Establishment Realm at the time, wielding an Immortal Artifact was a waste, not only unable to unleash its power but also restricted by it—after all, the biggest difference between Immortal Artifacts and Semi-Immortal Artifacts is that Immortal Artifacts possess intelligence, and some powerful ones even develop artifact spirits, so normally, Immortal Artifacts are unwilling to be used by cultivators in the Lower Three Realms.

Therefore, Leng Youxue had to settle for the next best thing, acquiring a top-tier Semi-Immortal Artifact, which was Liuhan.

Of course, even though Liuhan was a Semi-Immortal Artifact, it was nothing in the face of Tribulation Lightning born from the heavens and earth... Xiao Lin took it out more as a symbolic gesture—I am ready for battle.

After all, he was the Senior Brother, and although it seemed unlikely, if anything unexpected happened, he felt he would have to be the first to step up—despite discovering yesterday that his four junior brothers and sisters were all hiding their true abilities, their ten-plus years together were not fake, so Xiao Lin's attitude towards them hadn't really changed... Ah, of course, it's impossible not to change at all, especially when facing such an obsessed Second Junior Sister, facing Lu Xingqiu who really dyed his hair white because of a single word from him, facing Yu Qiaoxi who was a magician and a man in his previous life, and facing Ning Yunmiao who only had food on her mind...

Forget it, let's not talk about it. In short, although his task was to resign from the position of Senior Brother, and he indeed wanted to do so, Xiao Lin still placed himself in the position of Senior Brother.

As long as he's here, he won't let anyone or anything harm the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect... Of course, if they can run, they should run, and if they can't, then fight.

And clearly, this Tribulation Lightning was something they couldn't run from.

Fortunately, in the current situation, it seemed Xiao Lin didn't need to step in.

Because while the five of them were lost in their thoughts, five streaks of light flew out from five other peaks, hovering outside Green Lotus Peak.

Five cultivators each exuded a terrifying aura, clearly five Upper Three Realms cultivators.

"What is going on? What is Green Lotus Peak up to again?" A tall, square-faced middle-aged man in black attire looked at the Tribulation Lightning, frowning.

The Peak Master of Flowing Cloud Sect's Artifact Forging Peak, Baili Wanyun, currently at the Lower Dao Integration Realm.

"I don't know, but considering the Sect Master is in the back mountain, this is actually quite normal." A graceful, elegantly dressed woman responded with a smile.

The Peak Master of Flowing Cloud Sect's Fragrant Pill Peak, He Yun, also currently at the Lower Dao Integration Realm.

"No, if this was really caused by the Sect Master, it wouldn't be such a small scene." A thin old man dressed like an ordinary farmer shook his head.

The Peak Master of Flowing Cloud Sect's Hundred Rivers Peak, Zhang Xinzhu, currently at the Upper Dao Integration Realm.

"Indeed, so is this the work of those monsters?" A woman with a long sword on her back, her eyes covered with a red cloth, looked towards the small courtyard on Green Lotus Peak.

The Peak Master of Flowing Cloud Sect's Soaring Immortal Peak, Li Qingjiu, also currently at the Upper Dao Integration Realm.

"This looks like Fivefold Tribulation Lightning." Li Yuhuan looked at the increasingly terrifying thunder in the dark clouds, puzzled, "But there's no auspicious divine beast or world-destroying fiend beast here..."

Just as Li Yuhuan finished speaking, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The other Peak Masters' expressions also changed.
