The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Two months passed in a flash. Autumn was gone, and winter had ascended the throne of the four seasons.

The sky of the Black Star Sect had been gloomy since morning, and the snow clouds had gathered but didn't break; instead, they covered the mountains with a dull gray veil.

On the Sword Wind Platform of the Heavenly Cloud Peak, a five-colored flag array supported the spiritual protection formation, surrounding it. Pei Lianxue, wearing a simple white dress, sat cross-legged in the center of the platform. She had been meditating and condensing her energy for the past month, preparing.

After the double cultivation ceremony, Ye Anping brought Pei Lianxue back to the Black Star Sect and borrowed this auspicious land from Si Xuanji to prepare for her Nascent Soul tribulation.

Formation, spirit beads, pills, five-elemental treasures... These additional things were all the ten-thousand-year-old wonders that Ye Anping got from the secret vault of Nangong Cheng. Now, with the spiritual land of the Sword Wind Platform of Heavenly Cloud Peak, it could be said that everything was ready.

If he were to measure it with specific numbers, the probability of Pei Lianxue successfully surviving the first Nascent Soul tribulation was 99%.

However, there was still a possibility of failure.

Therefore, Ye Anping had been staying here all these days.

However, his sister’s thunderbolt tribulation did not come as he expected.

He had been waiting for more than a month, but there was still no sign of her thunderbolt.

"Sister, do you feel it?"

"No!"

"Well... just wait, it's okay."

"Yes!!"

Ye Anping nodded calmly, telling her that there was no need to worry too much.

However, unlike the calmness on his face, he was actually very anxious.

The joint attack of the immortals on the Eastern Region was imminent. He originally planned to take Pei Lianxue with him after she had formed her Nascent Soul.

But his sister's tribulation still had not come, and he could not take her to the Eastern Region with the Nascent Soul thundercloud chasing behind; not to mention there was no heavenly cave and blessed land in the Eastern Region that could be used by her to overcome the tribulation.

It was also impossible to let the Cold Country and the Awareness Sect wait for his sister to form the Nascent Soul. Now that winter was coming, the evil energy in the Eastern Region was relatively quiet. It was the best time for the immortals to attack.

Ye Anping lowered his eyes and looked at the severed hand that he had painted with five-color nail polish these days as he had nothing to do. He caressed the back of the hand gently.

Feeling this, Gu Mingxin immediately turned over her left hand and placed her palm upward like a puppy that wanted to be scratched, opening and closing her fingers.

Ye Anping sighed helplessly and scratched her palm with his fingers.

"Gotta switch to the alternate plan."

—He would ask Xuanji to watch over his sister as she formed her Nascent Soul in the Black Star Sect. Meanwhile, he would go to the Eastern Region to find Gu Mingxin and Mo Chi Ling and prepare to kill Yu Yan.

There were basically two ways to kill Void Returning cultivators.

One was as Zu Yuan had done before when he cut off the retreat routes of Mei Yunlu and Six Eyes in the formation set up by Si Xuanji and Grandmaster Zhiming before killing them from the front.

Another way was to snatch or destroy the Void spiritual origin first, as in the case of Nangong Cheng, and give him a "debuff" first, then let Si Xuanji, a Void Returning cultivator, kill him with one blow before he could react.

The Eastern Region was Yu Yan's home turf, so the former was naturally not a good idea, and Ye Anping could only consider the second method.

But the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal was passed on to Nangong Cheng by the dragon clan after all, and it did not belong to him, so it could be forcibly snatched through the Heavenly Dao luck.

As for Yu Yan's void spiritual origin, it was refined by him in nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, so it could not be snatched, only destroyed.

With his current Nascent Soul cultivation, it was almost impossible to destroy the spirit of a Void Returning cultivator alone.

But if the Heavenly Pivot and the Heavenly Demon worked together, plus with the help of Mo Chi Ling, there should be no problem.

"Huh..."

Ye Anping exhaled lightly, looked up at the gloomy sky, and suddenly realized that during all these days of guarding his sister, Xiao Yunluo came to see them from time to time, but Feng Yu Die never came.

He had no idea what she had been doing for more than two months.

I'll roast a chicken and send it to her later...

Just when Ye Anping was thinking about this.

Suddenly... freeweɓnøvel.com

Thunderbolt--!!

Accompanied by a loud bang, a strong wind blew.

A golden lightning flashed like a snake in the clouds above the Heavenly Cloud Peak.

The thunderclouds gathered into a hurricane hanging in the sky, and the spiritual energy in the land turned into wisps of light like fireflies, converging toward the center of the vortex.

—Sister's thunderbolt tribulation was coming.

Ye Anping immediately looked at Pei Lianxue in the center of the formation, reminding her, "Sister, remember what I told you before? Don't be nervous, don't think too much, empty your mind. Just go through the tribulation with peace of mind."

Xiao Yunluo, who was not far away, rushed over on her flying sword and landed beside Ye Anping. "Anping, Lianxue is about to undergo her tribulation. Why don't you go outside to avoid it?"

"It's okay, there are formations around here. It can't hurt me..."

"Then, I will..."

At this time, Pei Lianxue looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky and frowned slightly. She did not have the feeling of forming the Nascent Soul that Ye Anping had described as 'heartbeat quickening' and 'meridian vibrating'. Moreover, the water element spiritual energy in her core was as calm as before and did not react to this Nascent Soul lightning tribulation.

Pei Lianxue frowned and shouted, "Brother, something is wrong!"

"Huh? What is it?" Ye Anping immediately became serious. "What's wrong?"

"This is not my Nascent Soul tribulation cloud. I don't have the feelings you said before..."

Ye Anping frowned when he heard this, and his dark purple eyes revealed a rare trace of panic as he looked up at the black cloud vortex in the sky.

It was probably because the tribulation cloud was covering Heavenly Cloud Peak, and he didn't look closely just now.

But after staring at it for two breaths, he vaguely saw that although the tribulation cloud vortex did cover the entire Heavenly Cloud Peak below, the center point was not above the Sword Wind Platform.

Xiao Yunluo also frowned and murmured, "Ah? Lianxue, this tribulation cloud is the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul tribulation. If it's not your lightning tribulation… the Heavenly Dao Golden Core and late Core Formation cultivators in the Black Star Sect, other than you and me..."

At this moment, all three people present reacted.

—Feng Yu Die!

Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue exclaimed in unison. "Second Idiot!!"

Ye Anping looked at Xiao Yunluo. "Yunluo, where is she now?"

"Elder Qin said that she seems to be over at the Spirit Gathering Cave in the Heavenly Cloud Peak these days to condense her energy..."

"Huh..." Ye Anping took a deep breath and said calmly, "It should be no problem. She has the Holy Emperor Dragon Body and the Spring Phase spiritual energy. It is not a problem to form her Nascent Soul. Yunluo, you stay here with my sister, I'll go take a look..."

Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo had no objection and agreed.

Ye Anping then put Gu Mingxin's hand back on his waist and summoned his flying sword before slowly taking off as if he were in no hurry.

However, as soon as he was out of the girls' sight, he immediately injected spiritual energy into his flying sword under his feet, triggering a surge of airwaves that turned into a golden light as he zipped along the mountainside toward the disciples' Spirit Gathering Array.

Many disciples in the Foundation Building stage walking on the mountain path were almost blown to the ground by the airwave he left in his wake.

Ye Anping's attention during this period had been completely on his sister, thinking that Feng Yu Die's cultivation was a little behind and her Nascent Soul thunderbolt tribulation should come later.

But he didn't expect that Feng Yu Die hadn't come to him for the past two months, and now she suddenly encountered the tribulation.

He had told his sister and Xiao Yunluo that there was no problem with Feng Yu Die forming the Nascent Soul because he just didn't want to upset them.

However, this was not a problem. It was actually a huge problem!

Forming a Nascent Soul was different from forming a golden core. It was not something that Feng Yu Die could accomplish only by relying on her talent.

Even his sister needed a large amount of heavenly materials, medicinal pills, suitable places with blessed energy, and the right time to have a 99% chance of successfully transcending the tribulation.

However, Feng Yu Die had none of those things now.

And judging from Xiao Yunluo's reaction, she probably didn't ask her for those treasures and pills for forming the Nascent Soul either.

If she did not make any preparations and directly entered the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation, Ye Anping estimated that even Feng Yu Die would have a success rate of less than 40%.

Not to mention, the former owner of the Heavenly Dao Scroll died under the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation...

Rumble--!

Thunder rumbled throughout the Black Star Sect. The sect Elders had already appeared in the main halls of each peak. One after another, the spiritual jade tablets used to protect the low-level disciples from being affected rose from the top of each peak.

The entire sect was silent at this moment.

Si Xuanji had informed the Elders in advance that Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue would form their Nascent Souls in the sect soon, so all the disciples immediately went under the protection of their respective Elders.

Ye Anping looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky which were showing signs of falling, and although he felt anxious, his mind remained calm.

He was already thinking about what to do if Feng Yu Die failed to pass the tribulation.

As long as he stamped her with the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal before her soul and body were completely destroyed by the lightning tribulation, he should be able to save her life.

But, even if her life was saved, she would become half-disabled...

Frowning, Ye Anping gritted his teeth. He had been looking forward to the thunder tribulation of his sister coming earlier, but now he wished that Feng Yu Die's thunder tribulation could be delayed for a few days or half a month...

Crack!

The flying sword bearing the spiritual energy of his Nascent Soul exploded into pieces with a loud bang.

Ye Anping glanced at it but didn't care. He changed to the Body Control technique and accelerated toward the mountainside again.

The platform in front of the Soul Gathering Cave was now empty. The disciples who were guarding here had already evacuated to seek the protection of the Elders.

Ye Anping landed in front of the cave and quickly walked to the notice board at the entrance.

His eyes quickly swept over it, and in an instant, he saw a wooden sign with the words "Heavenly Cloud Peak Disciple Feng Yu Die" among more than a hundred wooden signs.

The wooden sign was hung at the position of "A-3".

"A-3..."

Ye Anping murmured, then instantly turned into golden light and rushed into the cave. He walked along the corridor in an instant, and in almost two breaths, he came to the Soul Gathering Cave with the plaque "A-3" hanging on it.

He raised his hand, took out his sword, and dispersed three spiritual lights.

Boom—

The door of the grotto exploded.

Ye Anping rushed in.

But at the same time, a golden thunderbolt came straight down from the tribulation cloud above the cave, dyeing Ye Anping's vision into a dazzling golden color.

Boom--!!!

Ye Anping raised his arm to cover his eyes as the loud noise of the thunderbolt deafened him. Knowing that the thunderbolt was coming, he quickly protected himself with his spiritual power to avoid being affected.

The majestic spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao simply turned the spirit stone door frame into molten magma.

Ye Anping immediately took out the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal from his storage bag, held it in his left hand, and prepared to rush forward the moment the golden lightning dissipated and stamp it on Feng Yu Die's chest.

After two breaths, the golden thunderbolt and the loud noise dissipated.

Ye Anping slowly put down his right arm to block the spiritual light, clenched the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal in his left hand, and was about to rush forward, but after taking a step forward, he suddenly froze.

Feng Yu Die sat cross-legged in the center of the cave with her eyes closed. Her clothes had long disappeared under the blow of the thunder and her long silver hair was spread over her shoulders. She was emitting a gentle silver-white glow, enveloping her body like a veil.

Right above her head, Xiao Tian, with a sword mark on her left eye, also sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, floating. In the Spirit Gathering Array around them, more than a dozen heavenly treasures had fulfilled their duties at this moment. The spiritual energy they had originally possessed had disappeared, turning them into ordinary items.

"Hu..."

Feng Yu Die opened her lips and exhaled lightly. Her tightly closed eyelids slowly opened, revealing a pair of watery golden eyes.

She looked stunned at Ye Anping standing at the door, and the light in her eyes suddenly increased a little. "Young Master Ye!!"

After calling him, Feng Yu Die stood up directly, seemingly unaware that she was wearing no clothes as she flew toward Ye Anping with open arms.

Probably because she was too excited, Feng Yu Die pounced too fast.

Ye Anping wanted to step aside to dodge, but she had already hugged his waist and threw him to the ground.

"Master Ye, I have formed the Nascent Soul!!"

Feng Yu Die rode on Ye Anping's belly, with her hands on both sides of his face and a bright smile on her face, as if asking for praise, which made Ye Anping speechless for a while.

Seeing Feng Yu Die successfully forming her Nascent Soul, Ye Anping's anxiety was finally put down, and he lay on the ground relaxed.

After a while, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Master Ye, you had to accompany Sister Pei, so I didn’t want to disturb you." Feng Yu Die squinted with a smile. "So I went to ask Mr. Qi about it, and Xiao Tian also helped me prepare."

"..."

"Master Ye, didn't you say before that I should make you fall in love with me first? I thought about how to make you like me, and then Xiao Tian and I discussed it. Xiao Tian said, when you and I first met, you saved me because I was the destined Heavenly Pivot, so… if I were the Heavenly Pivot, would you like me, Master Ye?"

Ye Anping was silent for a while, then looked at the treasures she used to form the Nascent Soul and asked, "Where did you get these things?"

"I bought them!" Feng Yu Die immediately replied. "I have saved up a lot of spirit stones after following you for all these years, Young Master Ye! Hee hee--"

Hearing this, Ye Anping seemed to be relieved, as now it made sense. He had been worrying about this girl for nothing just now...

Then, Feng Yu Die asked again, "Young Master Ye, do you still remember the treasure bag you gave me when we were in the Brilliance City?"

"The one where I told you I'd let my sister give you a kiss?"

"Yes!" Feng Yu Die raised her hand and brought over her storage bag from the corner of the cave. She took out the blood-stained note from it and said, "There is another sentence on the back..."

She showed one side of the note to Ye Anping: —"Feng Yu Die, you are the destiny of the world, don't rely too much on me, the Reverse Star. I can help you for a while, but not for the rest of your life."

"Young Master Ye, I am the Heavenly Pivot."

"Huh... Anyway, congratulations on forming the Nascent Soul."

Ye Anping exhaled helplessly. He didn't expect Feng Yu Die to still remember this. His eyes moved down from her face, and, seeing her naked body, he was a little embarrassed and looked away.

Feng Yu Die was smiling, and suddenly her cheeks turned red. She whispered, "Hehehe... Young Master Ye, so you like me now?"

"..."

Ye Anping did not respond, but he felt in his heart...

Just when Ye Anping felt it, Feng Yu Die, who was riding on his belly, suddenly pouted her mouth like a piglet, closed her eyes, and moved closer to his face. "Young Master Ye~~ Woo—"

"Hiss—"

Ye Anping took a deep breath, feeling as if he had passed from the North Pole to the Equator and now suddenly returned to the North Pole, with a mixture of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness in his heart…

"????"

He grabbed Feng Yu Die's face and threw her away from him.

"Ouch!"

Ye Anping sat up, looking at Feng Yu Die who was thrown aside by him with a dark face, then rubbed his brow before looking at Xiao Tian who was floating a little further away with her left eye closed, looking at him pitifully.

He pinched his nose bridge unconsciously with a sigh. "Sigh... put on some clothes first."

A little disappointed, Feng Yu Die sat up and lowered her eyes, pouting. "Oh..."
