Heavenly Dao runes are divided into seven grades, each represented by red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
The green color happened to be fifth grade, already a very high grade. If an ordinary person caught a rune of this grade, they would wake up laughing from a dream.
Because the higher the rank, the harder it is to grab. Generally, the runes that strong practitioners grasp are second, third, or fourth grades or above. The runes hide themselves and are better at evading, making them hard to catch, and there's simply not enough time.
So when Bai Shishi grabbed the rune and unleashed a blue divine light, the disciples present erupted in cheers.
But just as they were halfway through their cheers, the cyan light in Bai Shishi's hand suddenly vanished.
"This ..."
People were stunned for a moment, but soon they understood that Bai Shishi actually disliked that the rune was only fifth-grade and hadn't absorbed it directly.
"No way, you're not satisfied with a fifth-grade one?" Someone exclaimed.
Time passed bit by bit, and people suddenly grew tense. Half the time had already passed, and Bai Shishi made two attempts—the first time she missed it, the second time she caught her but gave up, and after that, she never acted again. People started to worry for her.
"She wants to choose runes of Golden Power? Or should I choose Soul Power as the first rune? Long Chen asked.
"Generally, metal cultivators choose soul power as their first rune, because the sharp aura of metal power cannot be controlled without strong soul power. Having gold power without strong soul power control is meaningless.
But Shishi is stubborn by nature, only preferring fierce and sharp strength, good at offense but not good at defense, so she will definitely choose Metal Power as her first rune. Bai Shishi's mother replied.
Bai Shishi's mother's tone carried a hint of worry. Bai Shishi's personality was too proud and too sharp, unable to restrain herself. She suggested choosing soul power as her first rune, but she refused.
The saying 'hard is easy to break' means she lacked the unique feminine softness of women. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been defeated by Ku Wuya back then. Bai Shishi's mother saw this clearly, but was powerless to change her mind and could only let her go.
Personality is often innate and hard to change later. Personality is also called destiny, so personality determines destiny. This saying is not just empty talk.
"Choose the power of gold?" That would be easy, ... Hey!"
Long Chen put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly at Bai Shishi. At his shout, Bai Shishi's mother's face changed dramatically. She quickly formed hand seals, and everyone around Long Chen except Long Chen instantly disappeared.
"Rumble..."
Long Chen had just shouted when a thunderous sword struck across a thousand miles of space in Crane Cry Valley, mercilessly slashing down on Long Chen.
"Bang!"
Long Chen snorted coldly and struck the thunderbolt with his palm. The thunder sword was shattered by Long Chen's strike.
Long Chen smashed the thunder sword with a single palm, the void exploded, and endless thunder runes spread like raging waves in all directions.
Within that thunder was a terrifying heavenly might and a violent will that stabbed countless souls. Fortunately, Bai Shishi's mother acted quickly; otherwise, when the will of the heavenly tribulation descended, those around Long Chen would have been doomed.
"You rascal, are you trying to get someone killed?" Bai Shishi's mother couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Sorry, I forgot." Long Chen hurriedly apologized. Just because he wasn't afraid of the will of the heavenly tribulation didn't mean others weren't afraid.
Talking to someone involved in the heavenly tribulation will cause the tribulation to be captured, and depending on the cultivation level of the strong, the tribulation will be triggered with corresponding intensity.
Long Chen forgot that Bai Shishi's mother was still by his side. This Divine Lord realm powerhouse, if the tribulation escalated into a Divine Lord-level tribulation, it would truly be finished.
However, Bai Shishi's mother took everyone away, leaving the range of the heavenly tribulation. Long Chen felt relieved and continued to shout loudly to Bai Shishi:
"Pretty girl, I'm telling you, listen to me, I'll help you find the strongest golden talisman inside."
"Rumble rumble... Long
Chen and Bai Shishi shouted. The heavenly tribulation trembled in the void, and swords of thunder, carrying endless heavenly might, mercilessly slashed down on Long Chen.
"Shut up, don't bother me, don't make things worse." When Long Chen addressed her like that, Bai Shishi was instantly furious. This anger was no big deal—her sensing power dropped sharply, making Bai Shishi's face turn pale, wishing she could bite Long Chen to death.
"I'm not joking. Listen to me. Close your eyes, use your shoulders as a straight line, left and right as your direction, and your arm reach limit as the distance. When I call for your left hand, you grab with your left hand; when I say 'right hand,' you grab with your right hand." Long Chen waved his hand, shattering the thunder swords, shouting loudly.
The thunder sword shattered, turning into a sky full of thunder runes. The thunder dragon tried to absorb it, but Long Chen stopped it.
Long Chen himself didn't dare to resist the tribulation with willpower, fearing it would turn into his own. He hadn't refined the Golden Dragon Scales yet, so he might die under the tribulation and drag Bai Shishi down with him. So now, under the tribulation, he was keeping his tail between his legs.
Hearing Long Chen shout like that, Bai Shishi calmed down. Although Long Chen was usually unreliable, he was straightforward in handling matters and quite reliable.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once. Don't try to fool me." After Bai Shishi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and decided to listen to Long Chen.
Her goal was a seventh-grade golden talisman, but if more than half the time had passed and she still couldn't catch it, she could only settle for a sixth-grade rune, because seventh-grade runes are too hard to sense—several times, the sensing would vanish in an instant.
It was like a seventh-grade rune playing hide-and-seek with her—just showing its face and disappearing, impossible to track its exact location or trajectory, let alone grabbing it.
"Left hand"
"Whoosh"—
grabbed and missed.
"Left hand"
and "Hoo"
missed again. Bai Shishi grabbed four times in a row but missed each time. The powerful figures present grew somewhat anxious but dared not speak.
Sweat began to bead on Bai Shishi's forehead, because judging by the time, two-thirds of the third was almost over. If she couldn't catch it soon, she would have no choice but to choose a sixth-grade rune.
Now, due to repeated failures, her mindset was becoming unstable, her perception had further declined, and she might even be unable to accurately perceive sixth-grade runes.
"Steady your mind, strike with all your strength, speed and strength, use as much force as possible, imagine grabbing Ku Wuya's throat." Long Chen shouted coldly, realizing that Bai Shishi's mindset was indeed not very good; she was not steady enough.
Bai Shishi nodded, took a deep breath, and focused all her energy.
"Right hand."
Long Chen suddenly shouted, and Bai Shishi's right hand slashed out like lightning.
With a loud explosion, the void trembled violently. Where Bai Shishi grabbed something, space twisted in large areas.
"Grab him!"
Long Chen shouted.
Bai Shishi grabbed at him, her whole body trembled violently, her throat tingled with a sweet sensation, and she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Hearing Long Chen's words, all her power gathered in that hand. At that moment, Bai Shishi's jade hand split open, blood gushing out, and a terrifying force tried to break free.
Bai Shishi was both shocked and delighted, desperately trying to grab the item with all her might, refusing to let go. At that moment, a rune flashed in her hand, radiating seven-colored divine light.
"This... Is this a supreme rune hidden within the Heavenly Dao, appearing only once every ten thousand years? Bai
Shishi's mother looked at the rune, her eyes full of disbelief.
