NOVEL NEXT Chapter 320: Three Months Later
"Heavenly Tribulation..."
Ling Tian Sword Master and Fox Ruoshui spoke simultaneously.
Then, both of them smiled together.
"I have already comprehended my own Dao; a mere Heavenly Tribulation cannot defeat me," declared Ling Tian Sword Master proudly.
Fox Ruoshui also smiled and softly said, "I cultivate the Way of Non-Action, which can weaken the power of thunderbolts, so it shouldn't be a problem either."
Moreover, this is a newly born Heavenly Dao; the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is probably reduced compared to usual.
This batch of cultivators are enjoying some benefits.
"Heavenly Tribulation should not be a big problem. But... why has the path to immortality suddenly opened?" The first thing that came to Mind of Ling Tian Sword Master was the image of his little disciple.
For tens of thousands of years, the Celestial Path had been severed, and during these years, many cultivators who should have ascended smoothly died trapped at the peak of Mahayana, and then perished helplessly as their lifespan ran out.
Originally, this batch of people could only wait helplessly for their lives to end, but now this Celestial Path has opened without any signs.
If there is someone in this world who could accomplish this feat,
It must be his disciple who has created numerous miracles.
Suddenly thinking of something, Ling Tian Sword Master's expression changed: "Something's not right! Ruoshui, let's go! We need to find Shi Nian!"
Fox Ruoshui was puzzled but hurriedly agreed.
It can only be said that the people of Ling Tian Peak all thought the same; when Shi Nian returned to Ling Tian Peak, what awaited her was the entire orderly group of Ling Tian Peak.
Shi Nian was not surprised at all, and before anyone could ask,
She proactively admitted, "I opened the Celestial Path."
The scene fell silent in an instant.
Everyone knew Shi Nian was incredible, but that the Celestial Path, severed for tens of thousands of years, could be opened just like that, still shocked everyone for a moment.
It was Ling Tian Sword Master who first spoke: "Let's go, have some tea at Master's place."
As the fragrance of tea slowly wafted around, Shi Nian softly said, "The Heavenly Dao of this world has been usurped by an evil soul. Now that I have expelled that soul, a new Heavenly Dao has been born. Allow it to operate for a while, and it will fully restore the order of this Human World."
Those capable of seizing Heavenly Dao, surely must be truly cruel individuals. Most likely, only the great powers of either the Immortal World or the Divine Realm could do so.
If it is such an existence, then the suppression of the Celestial Path for tens of thousands of years would be understandable.
But Shi Nian... just mentioned lightly, that she has already expelled that soul.
Ling Tian Sword Master's heart could not help but thump wildly. To what realm has his disciple reached?
Can this Human World even contain her anymore?
Thinking this, Ling Tian Sword Master's expression subtly changed.
"Fourth senior sister, how long can you stay with us?" Before others knew how to begin, Lin Tiantian directly asked.
Shi Nian did not hide anything and honestly said, "If I do not suppress my power, I probably have to ascend after overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation in a month. If I suppress my power, plus my good relationship with the new Heavenly Dao, I should be able to delay for up to three months."
In three months, even if the young Heavenly Dao wanted to help her delay, it would no longer be able to hold back.
Moreover.
Shi Nian herself also wanted to go to the Immortal World sooner.
With all the obstacles cleared on the Human World side, and with Lin Bai and Zi Xu around, there shouldn't be any major issues. The Master and others would also be in a relatively safe realm.
But it's different for her junior uncle.
Ever since giving the junior uncle the Eternal Flower, there has been no news of him.
At present, it is certain that the person who summoned the junior uncle away is also a peak power in the Immortal World.
Shi Nian even felt that this person might not be much inferior to the true owner of the True Demon Bottle, or the creator of the Yin Yu system, or the mysterious person who seized the Heavenly Dao.
With less than nine years left, Shi Nian must ensure that she can cultivate to the pinnacle of the Immortal World and also rescue her junior uncle, the difficulty of which is nothing short of terrifying.
Additionally, the soul that usurped this world's Heavenly Dao, its true body is the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World.
The Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World might already be targeting her.
If she ascends to the Upper Realm, the enemies she faces might not only be her junior uncle's true body, but also a joint-hand of those three evil beings.
The difficulty has directly escalated to Hell Level.
If it were not for the treasure she obtained from Shangtong since childhood, it might have helped her to hide herself. Shi Nian's ascension is probably a move towards certain death.
"Three months," Lin Tiantian nodded and showed a smile, "Fourth Senior Sister, that's enough time for us to say goodbye properly."
Compared to Lu Zhuoyan's sudden disappearance, this is already the best outcome.
The others also nodded repeatedly.
With a gentle voice, Mu Nanqing said, "How about we spend these next three months traveling around the Human World? Over the past decade, Junior Sister, you have only stayed inside the Sect at first, and later you spent all your time with the Demon Clan. During these last three months, why not take a good look at this magnificent world?"
Mu Nanqing's suggestion was well received by everyone.
Shi Nian also smiled warmly, "Let's listen to Eldest Senior Sister."
Cultivators have nothing much to pack, so the group, carrying their Storage Bags, set off directly.
After so many years, this was the first time Shi Nian felt so at ease.
Previously, she was afraid of the constant dangers in the Cultivation World.
Lately, it was the burden of responsibilities that stopped her from fully relaxing.
Now that everything in the Human World has been resolved, Shi Nian could finally take a good look at the Human World she had struggled so hard to protect.
As they traveled, whenever they found beautiful scenery, they would stop and stay for a few days.
Mountains with snow caps, vast plains, terrifying marshes.
Places difficult for ordinary people to enter were like flat ground for these travelers.
Midway.
At the peak of a high mountain.
Fox Ruoshui was the first to undergo her Heavenly Tribulation.
Her cultivation was the highest, and unlike Shi Nian, she didn't know the methods to suppress it, so the tribulation naturally came the fastest.
But just as Fox Ruoshui said, the Cultivation Technique she practiced lessened the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation. After a day and a night, Fox Ruoshui easily passed her tribulation.
A few days later.
The Heavenly Tribulation of the Ling Tian Sword Master also arrived.
This time.
The group was flying over a vast ocean.
Upon hearing that his Heavenly Tribulation was imminent, Ling Tian Sword Master hurriedly found an island.
Ling Tian Sword Master absorbed star energy, creating a thick layer of Sword Gang, which resisted the tribulation for quite some time, but eventually, the Sword Gang broke. He then used the remaining Spiritual Power to withstand the few remaining strikes of the tribulation, and successfully transcended.
Mu Nanqing and the others were still some distance away from undergoing their tribulations.
The next one to undergo tribulation was Shi Nian.
When the three-month period was almost complete, the group returned to Ling Tian Peak.
Once Shi Nian stopped suppressing her realm, spiritual power from all directions surged towards her.
In just a moment.
The Heavenly Tribulation was upon her.
"Someone is undergoing tribulation again? Who is it this time?"
"It's coming from the direction of Ling Tian Peak. Could it be the Ling Tian Sword Master?"
"It might also be the wife of the Sword Master."
"Could it be Mu Nanqing? She also seems very close to her Tribulation stage."
Amid the discussions of the crowd, a woman soared into the sky.
The crowd was stunned.
This…
This person undergoing the tribulation.
Is it Shi Nian?
