第三千一百九十一章 两全其美

This sounded almost unbelievable. To have it both ways—where was the easy solution? Besides, saving someone from danger was like putting out a fire; there simply wasn't time for Lin Xuan to make more choices.

If another person were in Lin Xuan's position, this would be nearly impossible to accomplish.

However, since Lin Xuan had embarked on his cultivation path, he had faced countless trials and tribulations. One couldn’t use common sense to judge him.

Although the situation was critical, Yi gave him a clever solution that could have it both ways.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward, making a gesture of two hands lifting something. Threads ofrule's strength or force of ruleemanated from between his fingers.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

The two dragon-shaped heavenly tribulations seemed to encounter some kind of repulsive force and were pushed back, allowing the silver-eyed maiden to escape.

But the crisis was far from over; these heavenly tribulations had merely been temporarily restrained without any weakening.

Of course, this was intentional on Lin Xuan's part. With his current strength, breaking apart those two heavenly tribulations would have been easy—no effort at all.

However, by doing so, he would be blocking the heavenly tribulations with his hands. The silver-eyed maiden might seem saved for now, but more terrifying heavenly tribulations were sure to follow, and even Lin Xuan himself couldn't escape them.

Lin Xuan would not do such a foolish thing—drinking poison to quench thirst.

Now, he merely held the heavenly tribulations aloft, preventing their descent temporarily without causing any weakening of the tribulations. Therefore, no activation of heaven's laws would bring about more terrifying consequences...

It could be said that Lin Xuan was taking advantage of a loophole, but thanks to his actions, the silver-eyed maiden had temporarily escaped danger.

Yes, only temporarily.

But don't underestimate the significance of this. The silver-eyed maiden gained precious time to catch her breath.

In high-level combat, every millimeter counts. In magical battles and tribulation crossings alike, it was no different.

The silver-eyed maiden would have died if not for this brief respite.

"Junior Brother!"

The power of the heavenly tribulations couldn't be ignored. Although the silver-eyed maiden had been severely injured, she hadn’t lost consciousness and immediately recognized her powerful junior brother.

Lin Xuan's frown eased as he returned at just the right moment to help. Even though the heavenly tribulation was terrifying, there was finally a glimmer of hope for him.

The silver-eyed maiden's heart leapt with joy.

Then Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a pill the size of a dragon’s eye flew out. The surface was shrouded in divine aura, indicating its extraordinary nature.

Mysterious Nine Immortals Pill!

Lin Xuan had few such pills left but he was a man of deep emotions and would not hesitate to help his senior sister pass through this heavenly tribulation.

The silver-eyed maiden gratefully opened her mouth and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

The Mysterious Nine Immortals Pill was no small matter. Her horrific wounds began to heal at an almost visible rate, and her complexion improved significantly as well. However, it wasn't enough yet.

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve again, and a jade bottle flew out, turning slightly before reaching the silver-eyed maiden's side.

Inside were ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk, purified by the blue Star Sea. Even for an old monster at the heavenly tribulation stage, this would be sufficient to restore their expended magical power. For the silver-eyed maiden, it was even more so.

She uncorked the bottle and the scent wafted through the air, delighting her heart.

With great joy, she quickly drank all of the ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk from the bottle.

Threads of essence energy emerged from his dantian and flowed into her body, reviving her depleted magical power.

"Phew!"

The silver-eyed maiden exhaled in relief. She had almost regained seventy percent of her full strength.

After all, she was still recovering from new injuries, and while ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk could restore her magical power, it would take some time to replenish the core life essence that had been lost. Recovering seventy percent was already a significant improvement.

Junior Brother Lin truly excelled, but the silver-eyed maiden's face remained troubled.

The heavenly tribulation was at its final stage, and she had almost exhausted all of her treasures just to survive the earlier ones. While the flying butterfly dance technique was powerful, it came with a heavy price that would take years to recover from after using it once.

With no more options left, how could she pass through this last wave of heavenly tribulations? It was a matter of considerable thought.

After all, those dragon-shaped lightning bolts were formidable; rashly confronting them might lead to her demise.

What should she do?

There wasn't enough time for the silver-eyed maiden to think. Although Lin Xuan had temporarily restrained the heavenly tribulation, the laws of heaven weren’t something to be trifled with. Even though his cultivation was through the heavens, he couldn't delay for long.

A quick decision was needed.

The silver-eyed maiden's mind raced as she prepared to take a risk. However, at this moment, another unexpected event occurred.

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a small tripod appeared, its ancient design exuding a mysterious aura. It wasn’t just any ordinary object!

Just by the spiritual pressure emanating from it, it was more potent than her jade plate. This was an imitation of a primordial treasure, could this be...?

The silver-eyed maiden recalled a legend she had heard after living for tens of thousands of years.

Why use mental communication then?

Because the situation was critical; speaking would take too much time and wasn't feasible. Mental communication, however, allowed instantaneous transmission of information without any delay.

Lin Xuan’s voice clearly echoed in her mind.

"Senior Sister, this spirit rule tripod is a primordial treasure. Using it can instantly unleash ancient powerful spells..."

How clever Lin Xuan was! He immediately saw the silver-eyed maiden's predicament; even with her recovered magical power, she couldn’t pass through the heavenly tribulation.

The only solution was to lend her a powerful artifact.

Despite having many treasures, most wouldn't be usable by the silver-eyed maiden. The spirit rule tripod became the only choice.

It contained numerous ancient and powerful spells that could sweep away the heavenly tribulations when activated.

Lin Xuan lent it to her while erasing his mental imprint from it. As long as she didn’t have his mental imprint, using this artifact wouldn't trigger heaven's laws. If everything went well, she should be able to safely pass through.
