Chapter 299 is just a token gesture.
Yun Fuzhao never expected this day to come so soon; her cultivation level was rising rapidly every day. It could even increase while she was drinking water.
In just two months, a breakthrough became an urgent matter.
The tribulation of cultivators is a major event. Only after passing through seven heavenly lightning bolts can one ascend. Every time a powerful being undergoes a tribulation, it is a grand and spectacular affair.
The same applies to Yun Fuzhao.
On the day he felt he was about to make a breakthrough, the sky darkened early in the morning.
Normally, powerful beings undergoing tribulation would prepare in advance at a specific location. However, Yun Fuzhao's breakthrough came too suddenly; she wasn't even prepared when a bolt of lightning several meters thick descended upon the Boundless Sword Sect with a deafening roar.
Sensing the danger, the protective formation stood up the instant the heavenly lightning struck.
The very first bolt of heavenly lightning cracked the great formation that had protected the Boundless Sword Sect for so long.
Some disciples who hadn't yet reacted were startled.
"Whoever did something wrong will be struck by lightning."
"Are you stupid? This is our sect leader undergoing tribulation."
Yun Fuzhao was also startled by the lightning. Without saying a word, she immediately flew away from the Boundless Sword Sect to prevent the lightning from affecting other disciples.
Yu Ze and Qi Huai, who had been waiting for a long time, followed along.
Unlike Yu Ze, Qi Huai was more perceptive. He knew that although Yun Fuzhao was aloof at that time, he was still Yun Fuzhao in his heart at heart.
Compared to Yuze's attitude of wanting to escape.
Qi Huai's mind was filled with the thought: even an iceberg will melt.
As long as he perseveres, he can eventually make even the most inhuman evil god show him the slightest difference.
He is not greedy.
So he arrived at the Boundless Sword Sect very early on, and would make his presence known to Yun Fuzhao from time to time.
Therefore, he knew earlier than Yu Ze that Yun Fuzhao had become that Yun Fuzhao again.

The news of Yun Fuzhao's tribulation had spread far and wide.
She's now a celebrity in all walks of life. Everyone's paying attention to her every move. So when the first bolt of heavenly lightning struck, the various sects couldn't sit still. They all went outside, speculating whether this peerless genius would ascend to immortality or perish.
"If Yun Fuzhao really ascends to immortality, Wen Yan will be furious, won't he?"
Some disciples, aware of his feud with Yun Fuzhao, whispered among themselves, "Didn't Wen Yan and Yu Nian'er go into seclusion a long time ago? I heard they were also aiming to transcend the tribulation."
"No matter how hard they try, they are still far from transcending the tribulation. They are not comparable to Yun Fuzhao at all."
"That's right. The Xuantian Sect is no different from a third-rate sect now. Before, when ferocious beasts raged, they clearly had the strength but did nothing, letting them kill cultivators and civilians. It's a disgrace to be a sect with such a lack of responsibility and spirit."
They are right. The Xuantian Sect is now despised by many cultivators because it failed to stop the ferocious beast in time.
Not only Xuantian Sect, but also Xiaoyao Sect, Lingyue Sect and others have been criticized to varying degrees, and their status has plummeted.
The disciples chattered amongst themselves, unaware that the man in black robes standing beside them was clenching his fists tightly.
He looked up at the sky, confirmed the direction of the lightning, and strode towards it.
The air pressure around me was so low that it was almost impossible to breathe.
"What was that person doing? His aura was so strong."
"Judging from the direction he's heading, he's going towards Yun Fuzhao."
"Hey, speaking of which, have you guys heard this rumor? It's that if you interfere with the cultivator who is about to undergo tribulation, causing them to perish on the spot, you can obtain their opportunity and achieve a breakthrough."
"You're just repeating rumors. This kind of method has long been a forbidden technique in the cultivation world. Not to mention that powerful cultivators undergoing tribulation are always protected by others, making it extremely difficult to get close to them. There's even the possibility of being struck by heavenly lightning while competing for their opportunities. Such a high-risk and immoral thing is something very few cultivators are willing to take."
Moreover, those who are about to ascend to immortality are all prominent figures, and even for the sake of their own reputation, they would not do such a thing.
On the other side, the second bolt of lightning had already struck.
Yun Fuzhao had heard that the heavenly lightning was fierce and ruthless, and he went there with the intention of striking his opponent to death.
However, she didn't feel anything special when she caught the second bolt of lightning; her palms just felt a little numb.
Is this the power of heavenly lightning?
Meanwhile, in the upper realm...
A group of powerful beings surrounded the God of Calamity who was in charge of unleashing the heavenly lightning, chattering amongst themselves, saying, "That's enough, just a token gesture is fine."
Hong Ziqing: "Hasn't Xiao Zhaozhao suffered enough along the way? How can you bear to be so cruel?"
Wei Heyu: "If you ruin such a good seedling of mine, you'll be in big trouble!"
You Ziqian: "Don't be too ruthless."
The powerful figures kept talking, making the God of Calamity's head spin. "Alright, alright, I know. Do you think I haven't watched her live streams before?"
Hong Ziqing was surprised. "You actually watched it too? I haven't seen your comments before."
The God of Calamity blushed. "I don't like to speak."
"Oh, the freeloaders."
"..."
In short, because of his connections with higher-ups, Yun Fuzhao easily escaped the first four bolts of heavenly lightning.
The two onlookers exchanged bewildered glances. Even the jade pendant hovering above Yun Fuzhao's head became nothing more than decoration.
Just as Yun Fuzhao was waiting for the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning, a familiar voice rang out, "Yun Fuzhao, long time no see."
Yun Fuzhao turned her head and saw a person completely covered up walking towards her.
Before they could get close, Yu Ze stopped them.
The voice was clearly Yu Nian'er's, but the figure was clearly that of an adult man.
The man stopped and slowly removed his veil, revealing Wen Yan's face.
Yun Fuzhao stared at him. His sudden appearance at this critical juncture couldn't be anything good. "What are you doing here?"
“I’m here,” Wen Yan’s voice said this time, “naturally to seize your opportunity.”
Yun Fuzhao looked him up and down, tilted her head, and said innocently, "You? Are you sure you can do it?"
These words successfully ignited Wen Yan's anger. His handsome face instantly twisted, and a woman's face grew out of his skin—it was clearly Yu Nian'er.
"Yun Fuzhao!! You bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
Yu Nian'er's hoarse, desperate voice almost shattered Yun Fuzhao's eardrums.
She was startled by the scene before her, which resembled something out of a horror movie. "What the hell???"
[Yun Family Squad 5, You Ziqian: Something's not right with them, Yun Fuzhao, be careful.]
[He Yu, 4th Guard of the Yun Family: They have most likely practiced evil arts.]
Yu Ze's eyes darkened, and he struck Wen Yan's shoulder with a palm, knocking him back several steps. Excitement ignited in his eyes, "If you want to get close to her, you'll have to get past me first."
After he fully awakened his demon bloodline, he became increasingly belligerent, and once the killing instinct in his bones was ignited, he would become extremely excited.
Yun Fuzhao had already glimpsed some of the villainous behavior described in the book.
