Chapter 1289 - 1256: Preparing to Withstand the Tribulation
"Xinying, you!"
When Mingmen Yue’Er Shangguan Yue abruptly pushed open the door to Zhang Xinying’s room, an expression of horror instantly froze on her face.
What kind of eyes are those!
The moment Shangguan Yue locked eyes with Zhang Xinying, who was sitting at the vanity.
It was a kind of distant cool elegance that kept people at bay;
In those bright eyes, there was also a weary understanding of every worldly thing;
At this moment, Shangguan Yue felt that the person standing in front of her should be a high and mighty queen.
And not her intimate sister whom she was familiar with day and night.
Although she was still wearing the pajamas Shangguan Yue recognized, and still had the familiar face.
Yet, for some reason.
The instant she saw Zhang Xinying, there was an overwhelming feeling that they belonged to two different worlds,
An intensely unfamiliar sense arose naturally.
Shangguan Yue was shocked and widened her eyes, at that moment she wanted to scream loudly to release the fear in her heart.
But before Shangguan Yue could open her mouth to shout, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears:
"Yue’Er?"
"Have you had dinner?"
Shangguan Yue paused for a moment.
And it was in that brief moment, Shangguan Yue was astonished to find.
At that time Zhang Xinying, with eyes smiling, was walking over:
"Let’s go, don’t keep them waiting too long."
Zhang Xinying naturally took Shangguan Yue’s hand, but at the moment of holding hands.
Shangguan Yue suddenly reacted, staring incredulously at Zhang Xinying beside her:
"Xinying, you!"
Zhang Xinying, oblivious, turned her head towards Shangguan Yue, and said in surprise:
"What’s wrong?"
She then looked strangely at Shangguan Yue:
"Yue’Er, are you feeling unwell? Why does your complexion look so bad."
At that moment, when Shangguan Yue looked at Zhang Xinying again, she discovered that the familiar Xinying had returned, as if witnessing it through a veil of time.
Seeing the familiar face before her, Shangguan Yue screamed as if she had seen a ghost:
"Xinying!"
Shangguan Yue looked all around Zhang Xinying, seemingly searching for something on her:
"Are you alright?"
"What happened in the room just now?"
"What about that colorful light?"
Facing Shangguan Yue’s series of questions, Zhang Xinying couldn’t help but smiled warmly and said:
"Are you talking about this?"
Saying this, Zhang Xinying raised her hand, in her palm was the Spirit Stone given to her by Lin Yi.
The Spirit Stone was continuously emitting colorful lights in Zhang Xinying’s palm.
Zhang Xinying ’explained’:
"I was just playing with it earlier, and I don’t know why it suddenly emitted those colorful lights, it startled me too."
Listening to Zhang Xinying’s ’explanation’, Shangguan Yue, half-believing, looked at Zhang Xinying, still somewhat incredulously said:
"Is that how it is?"
"But..."
Shangguan Yue thought of the unfamiliar expression she saw on Zhang Xinying’s face earlier, very hard to overlap the Zhang Xinying in front of her with the image she just saw.
Shangguan Yue couldn’t help but start to doubt:
’Could everything I saw just now be an illusion?’
And at this moment, Zhang Xinying didn’t give Shangguan Yue a chance to react, she directly pulled Shangguan Yue’s hand:
"Let’s go! Time for dinner."
"It’s good timing, I’m hungry too."
Looking at all the normalcy before her, Shangguan Yue shook her head and decided not to dwell on it further, choosing to believe it was just a trick of her eyes.
However, Shangguan Yue still decided to speak up, turning to Zhang Xinying:
"Xinying, you wouldn’t believe."
"When I saw you just now, I almost couldn’t believe it was you."
"Your expression at the time was so terrifying!"
Listening to Shangguan Yue, Zhang Xinying still smiled and said:
"You must have seen it wrong."
"How could I be like that."
Shangguan Yue paused for a moment, biting her lip:
"Is it really me having illusions?"
At this moment, Shangguan Yue didn’t notice a flicker of indescribable oddness in Zhang Xinying’s eyes as she pulled her hand.
...
...
Here is the Thunder Attraction Platform!
On top of Human Peak of Pilgrimage Mountain, when Lin Yi led Gongsun Bo and others through a curtain of water, everything in front suddenly opened up brightly.
The previous sky full of flying snow had long disappeared.
The rugged mountain path became a huge platform the size of two football fields instead.
The entire platform was made of jade-green stone, smooth and impeccable.
Gongsun Bo immediately recognized these blue stones with a gasp of astonishment:
"These are Demon-Repelling Stones!!!"
Looking around, the entire platform was created from these stones.
Everyone present, except Lin Yi, couldn’t help but show astonished expressions:
"It’s all made of Demon-Repelling Stones, my heavens!"
Even Linlang Pavilion’s Ling Yudao was quite unsettled, saying:
"Back in Nine Netherworld, a fist-sized Demon-Repelling Stone was already worth millions,"
"If we were to sell these, then..."
An incalculable frightening number kept rolling in Ling Yudao’s mind:
"This is too extravagant!"
Jialan Emperor Gongsun Bo exclaimed in awe:
"If these Demon-Repelling Stones were forged into Demon-Repelling Armor, wouldn’t Jialan be able to create an invincible magic immune legion?!"
Everyone there knew, Demon-Repelling Stones possessed some degree of magic immunity.
When Magic Attacks hit the Demon-Repelling Stones, their power would be greatly diminished, reducing magic power by up to fifty percent.
Even though it’s only fifty percent.
This statistic is already quite terrifying.
Supposedly, as Gongsun Bo proposed, let’s forge a set of armor using Demon-Repelling Stones, worn by the warriors.
The legion formed by these warriors would absolutely be a nightmare for all magic professions.
However, what disappointed Gongsun Bo and others was.
These Demon-Repelling Stones had long fused seamlessly with everything here, incredibly tough.
Taking some away was simply impossible.
At the same time, it’s evident.
Lin Yi beside them wouldn’t allow them to do such things.
"These Demon-Repelling Stones here can help us resist some of the damage brought by the Divine Tribulation."
"In a while, you all will experience a Celestial Tribulation baptism here."
"As for what you might gain, that depends entirely on your own luck."
At this time, Ao Sheng Empire’s Jun Shirong was already eager:
"What do we need to do, let’s start."
They’ve waited for hundreds, even thousands of years on the Nine Nether Continent for this day.
Now the opportunity is right in front of them; everyone showed firm and excited expressions.
At this point, Lin Yi addressed everyone:
"Hope you don’t forget your previous promise."
Then Lin Yi took out from his backpack an Elf Sacred Artifact, Thunderstruck Wood, prepared in advance by Gamplov, addressing the crowd:
"Prepare!"
