“Today, I’m Shangguan Huanling and I’m crossing tribulation to ascend, Brother Lu Ye, here I come!”
Shangguan Huanling shouted loudly.
The aura around her exploded completely, drawing in the calamity energy of the heavens.
The sky was clear.
Shangguan Huanling???
Chu Ling looked puzzled too.
“I want to cross tribulation!”
Shangguan Huanling shouted once again.
The sky remained clear.
Shangguan Huanling was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Weren’t they supposed to cross tribulation once their cultivation reached a certain point? She had reached that point!
Honestly, it was also Chu Ling’s first time witnessing such a situation. Hey, if this isn’t how to cross tribulation, then how can she ascend?
Shangguan Huanling was at a loss.
“How about you try activating the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations?” Chu Ling suggested.
She was somewhat skeptical, wondering if maybe Shangguan Huanling was too weak…
Shangguan Huanling frowned. What did that mean? Was she saying her strength wasn’t enough?
No way! Absolutely not!
The reason the heavenly tribulation wasn’t appearing must’ve been due to something wrong with the heavenly tribulation itself.
What good would activating Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations do?
Shangguan Huanling wanted to show Chu Ling that even with Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations, if the tribulation didn’t come, it just wouldn’t come.
Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations!
“Boom!”
A loud roar!
Calamity clouds filled the sky.
Shangguan Huanling……
Wait, what does this mean, ahhhh!
This is so frustrating!!!
But Chu Ling sighed in relief; this was stable now!
If nothing unexpected happened, this time Shangguan Huanling should be able to reach the lower limit of the heavenly tribulation!
A strong person at the Celestial God realm crossing tribulation had once drawn in calamity clouds for thousands of miles.
Though that was thanks to some system enhancements, it still showed just how formidable Lu Ye’s foundation was.
Now, it was clear that Shangguan Huanling had also gotten stronger.
The area of the calamity clouds rapidly expanded, eventually reaching five hundred miles!
…
The whole ordeal was pretty easy, and Shangguan Huanling successfully crossed tribulation and ascended without a hitch.
“Ding ding ding, Shangguan idiot successfully crossed tribulation! I’m dying of laughter, she couldn’t even draw in the tribulation when she didn’t activate Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations,” the system’s cheerful voice rang in Lu Ye’s head.
Lu Ye didn’t even lift his eyelids—what’s that to him?
“Ding, I can’t believe Shangguan idiot is the first to cross tribulation and ascend, how surprising!”
“The **Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra** is just that powerful,” Lu Ye remarked.
Aside from the True Essence cultivated not having any significant power, this cultivation method really propelled one’s level forward at an astronomical rate.
However, True Essence really did lack in power.
Normally speaking, weak True Essence doesn’t hold any chance of elevating one’s rank since it’s already lost its momentum.
Yet here comes this silly method.
Cultivation has always had an air of defying the natural order.
The heavenly tribulation is a test inflicted upon cultivators by the heavens, and Shangguan Huanling’s cultivation was so weak the heavens must have hesitated on whether she was a defiant figure—such was her weakness.
“Ding, then she should be coming to find you.”
“Can she find me?”
“Ding… I suspect she can!”
Sure enough, after ascending, Shangguan Huanling found no one waiting for her.
She was familiar with ascension, having gone through it many times in her past life.
But this time, she felt a bit lost.
Unlike before, Lu Ye always led the way; she didn’t have to worry about a thing. Wherever Lu Ye said to go, she followed.
Even without Lu Ye, there was Bai Qiulan; without Bai Qiulan, there was Chu Ling. If not…
In short, she never had to think!
She wasn’t lost in the Second Heaven, because she was immediately captured upon entering.
Now, in the Third Heaven, no one was managing her, no one was asking her.
She wanted to find Lu Ye.
Perhaps she should ask around…
Shangguan Huanling soared aimlessly and eventually arrived at a city.
“Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I’m looking for a cultivator’s whereabouts, recently ascended, name is Lu Ye, how many spirit stones?” Shangguan Huanling inquired.
Instantly, pairs of eyes turned to Shangguan Huanling.
“Just ascended? Lu Ye?”
“Yeah, probably ascended about half a year ago.”
“Please follow me, please follow me!”
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s alarms went off in their heads, quickly pulling Shangguan Huanling aside.
Shangguan Huanling?
Things weren’t looking good!
Heavenly Demon Blood Escape!
“Boom!”
Shangguan Huanling turned into a flash of blood light and disappeared.
The people at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion…
At that moment, they could hardly comprehend. Wait, why are you running?
If before they were unsure if the Lu Ye Shangguan Huanling mentioned was the real deal, now, the moment that blood light appeared.
Everyone understood.
This woman clearly had a very close relationship with Lu Ye, either being a fellow disciple or a Dao companion.
Because that blood light was just so identical!
Not long after, Shangguan Huanling reappeared, scratching her head.
Everyone seemed to know Lu Ye. When she mentioned his name, their eyes were all focused on her, so she couldn’t say his name.
But how was she supposed to search then?
Shangguan Huanling pondered, her Emotion Dao suddenly moved.
Hmm?
She looked in the direction of Three Valleys Abyss.
Lu Ye seemed to be in that direction…
At that moment, Lu Ye clearly sensed the formation of a causality thread. He knew Shangguan Huanling was bound to come looking for him.
“System, do you think she might just jump into the formation in Three Valleys Abyss?”
“Ding, I think that’s very likely!”
“Then let’s wait and see!”
Lu Ye fell back into his cultivation state; even if Shangguan Huanling showed up, she likely wouldn’t be able to meet him.
If she got caught in the Great Formation, it would be a dead end.
Lu Ye wouldn’t actively kill them, nor would he save them, maintaining an attitude of letting bridges be bridges and paths be paths.
Six Layers of Destiny!
Suddenly.
A loud voice echoed.
“Brother Lu Ye, it’s Huanling, I miss you!”
“I miss you!”
“Miss you!”
The booming voice resonated throughout the Three Valleys.
Lu Ye…
“I’ll always be following you, I know I was wrong, I won’t listen to others’ instigations anymore!”
Shen Xitang’s figure appeared.
She seemed poised to jump but was quite conflicted.
Shangguan idiot won’t listen to others’ instigations anymore? She didn’t quite believe that.
She really wanted to try instigating her again, but she was afraid of catching Shangguan Huanling’s foolishness.
This girl was indeed a tricky character.
“Sister Chu Ling also said she knows she was wrong!”
“Brother Lu Ye, did you hear that?”
“Both of us know we were wrong!”
The massive sound echoed, but Shen Xitang ultimately didn’t dare rush out; it still sounded a bit silly, she’d wait until she calmed down to see her!
Shangguan Huanling shouted a few times.
Ultimately, there was no response.
She couldn’t help but wonder.
“Could it be he’s not here?”
“Is it silly to shout so loudly?”
