Jingtian explained, "Fan Wuyin is not my descendant."

Jiang Deng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jingtian say again, "Fan Wuyin is my son."

“…”

At once, countless questions flooded into Jiang Deng's mind.

Her best friend’s son is her apprentice?

Her best friend's son likes her?

She killed her best friend's son?

…

Jiang Deng almost couldn't help but hold her head. What a mess! Why did they have to make things difficult for such a good person like her?

You know, she just saved the world. Even if you don't give her some reward, at least don't harm her!

Seeing Jiang Deng's frantic expression, Jingtian couldn't help but smile. She consoled him, "Don't worry, Boss. I have no intention of seeking revenge on you."

"So what do you mean by telling me this?"

"I'm just helping you solve your doubts. Do you still remember where you found Fan Wuyin?"

Although Jiang Deng didn't quite understand why Jingtian said this, he still answered honestly: "In my mortal village at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain."

"Yes, I threw him there right after he was born," Jingtian nodded and continued, "It was the Demon King Taohua who told me to do this, including the birth of Fan Wuyin. The Demon King Taohua said that only if you do as he says, will you be resurrected."

Hearing this, Jiang Deng was extremely shocked.

Isn’t this a bit outrageous?

She never expected that Jingtian chose to give birth to Fan Wuyin with Taohua Demon King just to save her?

As if recalling some dark past, Jingtian couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes revealing a bit of hostility, "In order to help you revive, even if giving birth to Fan Wuyin consumes half of my lifespan, I must do this!"

"No, I think you might have been deceived."

Jiang Deng frowned and summarized the doubts he had noticed before. "Xiao Chen eventually became the Demon Lord because he absorbed the souls of his fellow apprentices. This means that my seven disciples are all part of the Demon Lord. Even Fan Wuyin's birth was a conspiracy of the extraterritorial demons."

"But why do they have to become my apprentices? What good will it do them?"

Nine-Tailed Fox extended its palm-leaf fan-sized claws, patted the ground, and said, "Of course there are benefits! Boss, have you forgotten that your own soul has been divided and devoured by your seven disciples? It is precisely because of this that their strength has increased so rapidly."

"That's right," Jingtian agreed. "It seems they're not doing this to help you, Boss, be reborn. They're just trying to kill the Demon Lord's mortal enemy, the Divine Lord, in the cradle. That way, you won't be able to stop them."

"Speaking of which..."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Baili Chengfeng. "If it weren't for Baili Territory Lord sacrificing his own cultivation to help the Divine Lord gather the remaining souls for reincarnation, I'm afraid the Demon Lord would have succeeded."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Baili Chengfeng's face couldn't help but blush, "It's nothing, this is what I should do."

Ran Hongyue sighed, "It seems that we three registered disciples are the most reliable ones. Master has accepted seven of those bastards."

Kang Ping also patted Baili Chengfeng on the shoulder and praised him, "I am a few years older than you, Lord Baili, so I have the audacity to call you Junior Brother. Junior Brother, thank you so much for sacrificing yourself to save Master.

Baili Chengfeng: "..."

Finally, no one knew that he was Jiang Deng's apprentice, and Jiang Deng did not ask him to treat him with the etiquette of master and apprentice. So he and Jiang Deng were of the same generation, so it was easy for him to develop something.

Then these two guys suddenly come out to expose him, what's going on?

If you want to become my disciple, then just do it. Don’t take him with you, okay?

Jiang Deng didn't notice the strange atmosphere around her. After hearing Jingtian's explanation, she immediately fell into deep thought.

What if it was destiny that the seven disciples killed her in her previous life?

So is her resurrection in this life also destiny?

It just doesn’t make sense…

Jiang Deng still doesn't quite believe in these mysterious things. In short, she doesn't believe in heaven or fate, she only believes in herself!

Seeing the confusion on Jiang Deng's face gradually replaced by determination, Jingtian knew that Jiang Deng had figured it out, and she felt very relieved.

As expected of the boss, he really gets things done quickly.

Especially the boss in this life, he is finally not as foolish as before and only knows how to sacrifice himself for others. The boss now finally knows how to plan for himself.

This change is of course better, because the boss won't suffer any loss this way...

Thinking of this, Jingtian smiled with relief and said, "Since you already have an idea in your mind, I can leave without any worries."

"Leaving what?"

Jiang Deng asked subconsciously.

Before Jingtian could answer, the sky and the earth changed color the next moment.

The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and thunder and lightning gathered and circled back and forth in the sky like a dragon.

"This is... the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"

"The ascension tribulation!"

"Could it be that... someone is about to transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven?"

…

Amidst the crowd's discussions, Jingtian stood up and explained with a smile, "Boss, thanks to the body you reshaped for me, I was able to successfully break through the bottleneck. Now the Ten Realms can no longer accommodate me, and I must leave."

Hearing this, Jiang Deng and Jiuwei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They hadn't been together for long, and now they had to separate again...

"Boss, Xiaojiu, I'm waiting for you in the upper realm. You better come early."

"Yes," Jiang Deng nodded and said, "I will go to the upper realm to find you soon."

Jiuwei wiped his tears with his fox tail, "Well, then I can only hurry up and practice, so as not to be left behind by you too much."

"The old man is gone!"

After saying that, Jingtian flew directly upwards.

Facing the purple-black lightning that was striking her, she stood with her hands behind her back, her expression calm, and chose to withstand the lightning with her body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder tribulation struck one after another, and Jingtian used his physical strength to withstand ninety-nine and eighty-one thunder tribulations.

I don’t know whether it was because Jingtian’s strength was particularly strong, or because Jiang Deng’s body made of vitality mud was particularly strong, but Jingtian’s body did not suffer many injuries.

The next moment, the black clouds dissipated and a crack appeared in the sky, which was the passage to the upper world.

Jingtian was bathed in the light of heaven, and the aura around her became increasingly powerful. Obviously, after going through the thunder tribulation, her strength also increased a lot.

"Gentlemen, I'll see you in the upper realm!"

After saying that, Jingtian took one last look at Jiang Deng and the others, flew through the passage, left the Ten Realms and entered the Upper Realm.

After Jingtian left, the passage to the upper realm was immediately closed, as if it had never appeared.

Although the passage to the upper realm was only open for a short time, everyone couldn't help but feel excited when they felt the spiritual energy so rich that it seemed to be condensed into substance, and they were very much yearning for everything in the upper realm.

Jiang Deng also felt a little bit of longing in his heart.

Should she also ascend to the upper realm?
