My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Under Xu Nian's persuasion, Meng Dongnan also gave up the immediate opportunity to ascend. For them, ascension could happen anytime, but the risks were indeed real. However, they were very clear that with the help of the Profound Yellow Sect, their ascension would certainly be effortless. Yet, with the situation in the Upper Realm unclear, even Xu Nian believed it was best not to rush. So, they reluctantly relinquished this chance.

Not just the Great Dream Immortal Sect, but the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect had also decided against it. After waiting so many years, they were not in a hurry.

Zhao Ritian left the Great Dream Immortal Sect with Xu Nian. They were both preparing to ascend and saw no need to waste any more time.

Upon arriving at the Profound Yellow Sect, Zhao Ritian was shocked by the abundant Spiritual Qi there. Such rich Spiritual Qi could enable even a pig to cultivate to the Tribulation stage! He also discovered the reason for the Profound Yellow Sect's abundance of Qi: a complete Immortal Artifact! The Upper Realm of today no longer belonged to them, and Immortal Artifacts were relics of a bygone era. To unexpectedly see a complete Immortal Artifact here—it seemed the Profound Yellow Sect truly had some skill.

"When do you plan to ascend?" Zhao Ritian retracted his gaze and asked.

Xu Nian looked at the Disciples seated all around and frowned. "By tomorrow at the latest. I have reasons that necessitate my ascension, so the sooner, the better!"

"Alright!" Zhao Ritian chuckled. "Then let's ascend today. With this Immortal Artifact here, I'll help you open the Celestial Gate, and you can follow me straight to the Upper Realm." Having said that, he walked directly beneath the Immortal Artifact.

The Blood Demoness naturally emerged as well. Looking at Zhao Ritian standing under the Immortal Artifact, she couldn't help but worry. She was keenly aware that the Profound Yellow Sect's current stability was due not only to Xu Nian but, more significantly, to this Immortal Artifact. Zhao Ritian's appearance now made her worry that he might covet it.

Xu Nian, also aware of her concern, grasped the Blood Demoness's slightly cold hand and said softly, "Don't worry. The Nine Immortals Spirit Disc has long belonged to the Antarctic. Zhao Ritian doesn't have the ability to take it."

"Mhm." The Blood Demoness nodded lightly, saying nothing more.

As Zhao Ritian's aura grew stronger, an uncomfortable sense of oppression appeared in the skies above the Northern Wilderness. Every cultivator in the Northern Wilderness Territory felt almost crushed by this immense aura.

The cultivators who had come from the Central Domain seeking the Profound Yellow Sect's location saw the Tribulation clouds condensing in the sky, their expressions filled with fear and dread. Tribulation clouds! Was someone in the Northern Wilderness attempting to undergo Tribulation and ascend?!

"Who would have thought someone in the Northern Wilderness would dare try to undergo Tribulation and ascend? Truly admirable."

"For many years, no one had attempted ascension. Not even the Demon Emperor was absolutely certain, and now someone was actually giving it a try."

"I've had people check. In the entire Northern Wilderness, the only one with this kind of power is the Xuanhuang Sect Leader. It seems he's planning to ascend."

"When one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend too. Could he be aiming to use his own strength to take the entire Profound Yellow Sect to the Upper Realm?"

"Looking at these Tribulation clouds, that seems to be the case."

"..."

Vast Tribulation clouds continued to condense until the entire Northern Wilderness was enveloped. With the First Thunder's deafening roar, the first purple Thunderbolt flashed through the clouds, bringing with it an overwhelming sense of suffocation once more. Purple Sky Divine Thunder?! Even the Demon Emperor probably wouldn't dare face such a Tribulation! The Xuanhuang Sect Leader must truly be formidable; the Purple Sky Divine Thunder isn't something just anyone could attempt!

「Inside the Profound Yellow Sect.」

Zhao Ritian watched the flash of purple Thunderbolt and laughed loudly, "Damn you, Heavenly Dao! I'm going back to fight for you, and you still want to annihilate me?"

His laughter thundered through heaven and earth. Almost everyone in the Northern Wilderness heard this laughter that swept across the land.

In the past, such curses might have been dismissed as jokes, but things were different now. Everyone witnessed a scene that horrified them all.

The Tribulation clouds, which had just been condensing, began to dissipate in an instant. Even the Tribulation lightning started to fade, and dazzling streaks of Golden Radiance emerged from the clouds, as if some divine entity was about to burst forth.

Zhao Ritian smiled faintly, whispering, "Not bad, not bad. Once I'm back, I'll definitely clean up those things for you!"

Even Xu Nian was astounded.

One can overcome Tribulation with mere words? Wasn't this a bit too absurd? Never in history had anyone been heard of making a Tribulation dissipate with just a sentence. Was this the legendary 'Verbal Technique' he'd heard about? So, was Zhao Ritian the Heavenly Dao's favorite son?

At this moment, the way Xu Nian looked at Zhao Ritian changed. Could it be that he, who relied on his System, had encountered the true protagonist?

"Kid, the Celestial Gate is about to open! We're preparing to ascend to the Upper Realm!" Zhao Ritian turned back and smiled. "How will you deal with your people here? Do you have a way to take them with you?"

Xu Nian frowned slightly, and after a long pause, he said gravely, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."

He had the System. Even if he ascended to the Upper Realm, he could just find a new territory there. The Players would still be able to follow him to the Upper Realm then.

At that moment, the Tribulation clouds in the sky completely dispersed, revealing a resplendent Celestial Gate high above, drawing the attention of everyone in the Cultivation Realm.
