The Ghostly Bone Tiger lowered its head with a look of grievance, its eyes filled with helplessness, as if it were complaining to Shui Wuya.
Shui Wuya looked at the bone tiger and felt his heart soften. He stepped forward and gently patted its head.
"Don't be sad anymore. Your master won't bully you again."
"I am lifting your current tribulation restrictions as a small compensation."
After all, it was one of his own, and he couldn't bear to see it fail during a breakthrough.
Shui Wuya silently recited a spell, and a faint light emerged in his hand, slowly descending onto the bone tiger.
Instantly, a mysterious force enveloped it, bringing a sense of liberation. The bone tiger felt its cultivation rapidly increasing.
Before long, the bone tiger successfully broke through to 300,000 years of cultivation without the tribulation descending upon it.
Its power had significantly increased.
Respectfully, it approached Shui Wuya, wagging its tail coquettishly.
Shui Wuya smiled and patted the bone tiger's head.
The tribulations he created could naturally be controlled on and off, and the bone tiger only had to experience it this one time.
In the future, whenever these undead broke through another 100,000 years of cultivation, they would still face a tribulation.
Until he found a method to recycle energy, he had to manage it this way for now.
Regarding the tribulations,
Shui Wuya had a thought.
Currently, the Undead World only had one Extreme Ice Tribulation, which was far from enough.
Setting up more types of tribulations would allow the undead to undergo more trials and enhancements, and also increase the completeness of the Undead World.
"It seems I need to find more tribulation objects."
A flash of determination passed through Shui Wuya's eyes.
As for how to find them,
The first thing Shui Wuya thought of was Shui Yuanchen.
Shui Yuanchen's Blood Sea World had successfully created the Blood Clan.
The rich power of the Blood Sea should be able to assist him.
With his decision made,
Shui Wuya left the Undead World and returned to reality.
A bright moon hung high, its silver light bathing the earth.
Beside him, Shui Bing'er was quietly cultivating, holding her son, creating a scene of tranquility.
Shui Wuya did not disturb the mother and child.
He left silently.
Ten thousand years later,
At the Shui family estate, amidst a green forest, a clear stream flowed gently, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, like a fairyland on earth.
Shui Wuya followed a familiar path and arrived at the family's cultivation grounds.
There, Shui Yuanchen was concentrating on his cultivation.
Sensing Shui Wuya's arrival, he immediately stopped his actions and respectfully stood up, inquiring, "Clan Leader, do you have any instructions?"
Shui Wuya smiled slightly and said calmly, "I am preparing to set up tribulations for my Undead World and need to borrow some power from the Blood Sea World, so I came to see you."
"Tribulations?"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yuanchen's mouth dropped open in shock.
How long had the clan leader been developing his inner world?
Could he have enhanced his inner world to this extent in such a short time?
Seeing Shui Yuanchen's surprise, Shui Wuya was somewhat puzzled.
Isn't this just a simple task?
In Shui Wuya's understanding, setting up tribulations was not complicated.
He taught cultivation methods in the Undead World, established the undead order, and set up rules and laws—simple tasks.
"Could it be because my Undead World is somewhat different from other worlds?"
Shui Wuya thought to himself.
Then, Shui Yuanchen realized and asked with confusion, "Clan Leader, please allow me to ask, why are you setting up tribulations for the Undead World?"
"With tribulations, the growth rate of the undead population slows down."
"Exactly, that's what I want."
Shui Wuya nodded and explained, "The Undead World is endlessly growing, and my inner world is almost full. Therefore, I must set up tribulations to reduce the population."
"I see!"
After hearing Shui Wuya's explanation, Shui Yuanchen felt even more respectful.
The more beings there are within one's inner world, the stronger the world's power becomes.
He wished his Blood Clan could proliferate wildly within his world.
But Shui Clan Leader, on the other hand, is already considering population control.
Truly worthy of being the Clan Leader!
However, Shui Yuanchen's expression turned troubled as he voiced his concern, "Clan Leader, I am willing to offer you the power of the Blood Sea World!"
"But... the undead lack flesh and blood. I'm afraid the Blood Sea Tribulation won't be of much use in your Undead World."
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuya fell silent for a moment.
Shui Yuanchen had a point.
But his world wouldn't only consist of undead; there would be other flesh-and-blood creatures in the future.
"Clan Leader, it's said that the undead fear the power of lightning the most, so perhaps a Lightning Tribulation would be more suitable," Shui Yuanchen suggested after a moment of thought.
Shui Wuya nodded.
The power of lightning could indeed make the undead retreat. If he could incorporate a Lightning Tribulation into the Undead World, it would certainly enhance the world's completeness and provide the undead with greater trials.
"Lightning, huh? Very well, let's start by adding a Lightning Tribulation to the Undead World. But I'll still need some of your Blood Sea's power," Shui Wuya said.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
As Shui Yuanchen produced a murky ball of blood mist, he continued, "The Lei family is renowned for their mastery of lightning. Across the continent, their lightning power is unmatched. If the Clan Leader needs a Lightning Tribulation, the Lei family would be the best choice."
Shui Wuya nodded in agreement.
He also knew that the Lei family had the deepest understanding of lightning power.
The tribulation he sought wasn't something ordinary.
Only the Lei family might be able to meet his needs.
"In that case, I'll head to the Lei family at once to inquire on your behalf!"
Seeing that Shui Wuya had accepted his suggestion, Shui Yuanchen was excited.
He, too, was eager to see what the Clan Leader's world would look like once fully established.
It was, after all, the path he would follow in the future!
Shui Wuya waved his hand dismissively, "No need, you should focus on your cultivation. I'll handle this personally."
For such an important matter, he had to go himself. There was no room for carelessness.
Shui Yuanchen nodded regretfully, acknowledging the command.
Then, Shui Wuya ascended into the sky and left the Shui family estate.
He wondered what kind of mystical lightning tribulation the Lei family possessed.
Shui Wuya's heart was filled with anticipation.
If he could obtain it, it would surely add a grand Lightning Tribulation to the Undead World.
At that moment,
within the Shui family estate,
the courtyard was quiet and deep.
Tang Ya's face was pale as jade, and her expression carried a hint of melancholy.
She watched Shui Wuya as he flew across the sky, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The elders of the Shui family had already conveyed the Clan Leader's wishes to her.
Shui Wuya wanted her to rebuild the Tang Sect on her own, without relying on others.
He made it clear that he would not help her.
This cold rejection left her at a loss.
She had thought that her beauty might sway the Clan Leader.
But to her surprise, Shui Wuya had seen through her shallow plans from the start.
Not only did she fail to meet him, but she was also flatly rejected.
Where should she go from here?
