Chapter 256 Successfully Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage (Major Revision)

Seeing the increasingly fierce lightning tribulation in the sky, everyone in Peach Blossom Valley couldn't help but feel worried for Ye Luo.

Xiao Huan said, "Junior Brother Ye's tribulation lightning... looks terrifying. If it were me, I probably would have run away long ago."

Yu Qianling crossed her arms, glanced at him sideways, and teased, "With your cowardly appearance, you'd probably just pee right there, wouldn't you?"

"Pah, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"I wasn't talking nonsense." Yu Qianling originally wanted to continue teasing, but then she saw Yu Xuan staggering over, looking very strange.

Not only were his eyes red and his face pale, but he also exuded a sense of dejection, a far cry from his usual spirited demeanor.

He had failed his trial and came down from the spiritual platform looking like this, sitting quietly in his chair without saying a word. She had wanted to go over and comfort him, but she was afraid that her clumsy tongue would only make things worse.

Seeing him approaching, she could no longer contain her worry and hurried to meet him, patting him on the shoulder. "Yu Xuan, don't be sad—"

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Xuan hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her slightly parted red lips, silencing her from saying anything more.

"Mmm..." Their breaths mingled together, leaving Yu Qianling, who was stunned for a moment, at a loss.

"Ugh... Yu Xuan, please... Ugh..."

Taking advantage of the moment their lips parted, Yu Qianling tried to push him away to find out what was going on, but Yu Xuan hugged her even tighter, and his persistent kisses became more and more urgent.

"???"

The various sects present were dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances. Weren't these two mortal enemies? What... what was going on?!

The first to react was Ming Cang. His face immediately darkened, and he strode over, pushing away the entangled Yu Xuan, and protectively shielding Yu Qianling behind him like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"You shameless scoundrel, how dare you humiliate my disciple in public! I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing this, Mu Tai stepped in front of Yu Xuan and looked at his furious old friend with a forced smile, saying, "Old Ming, Old Ming, calm down, let's talk this out!"

Ming Cang trembled with rage, pointing at Yu Xuan behind him and shouting, "If it weren't for you, I would have killed him with a single palm strike!"

Yu Xuan was still staring blankly at Yu Qianling, seemingly unwilling to give up. Ming Cang quickly protected his stunned disciple behind him, "Little Ling, don't be afraid. If he dares to come any closer, Master will beat him to death for you!"

"Huh?" Yu Qianling was completely dumbfounded, still seemingly unable to process what had just happened. The lingering warmth of the hot tongue on her lips still lingered, and the soft tongue had already stirred her heart.

She didn't dislike it at all.

And she didn't hit him just now, something's really wrong with her!

"I'm sorry, Qianling... Qianling, it doesn't hurt... Don't cry..." At this moment, Yu Xuan stood in the distance, watching Yu Qianling apologize repeatedly, which left her bewildered for a while.

Mu Tai also noticed that something was wrong with his disciple. He was about to take him away for a closer look when he discovered that the disciple had started crying.

This left everyone even more confused. Ming Cang asked with a puzzled look, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already crying?"

This was the first time Yu Qianling had seen him like this, and a wave of heartache welled up in her chest. "Yu...Yu Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Xuan looked at her without saying a word, clenched his fist under his sleeve, and after a long while, he flashed away from the spot, leaving everyone looking bewildered.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, brat? You flirted with my disciple and then ran away?!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Mu Tai kept comforting him, but he was also very puzzled. What had happened to make his usually composed disciple lose his composure in front of everyone?

"You need to find him for me! This can't just be left like this!"

"So what do you want? It's all the kids' business. Xiao Ling hasn't said anything yet, but you old man are making a fuss about it!"

"Bullshit!" Ming Cang turned around and pulled Yu Qianling, wanting to say something more to him, when suddenly a thunderclap in the sky interrupted their conversation.

High above, the lightning tribulation of Ye Luo grew even more ferocious, with a five-colored thundercloud surging in, causing the crowd below to gasp in amazement.

Cen Feng asked, "Huh? Junior Brother's thunderclouds seem different from mine just now?"

Ming Cang gazed at the thunderclouds in the sky, his face filled with delight. He exclaimed excitedly, "This is the celestial phenomenon of the Five Elemental Roots forming their Nascent Souls. If they succeed, their cultivation level will easily crush other cultivators of the same level. Not bad, not bad!"

Cen Feng: "Huh? Does that mean I won't be able to beat my junior brother anymore?"

Feng Yue gazed at the terrifying thunderclouds in the sky, his eyes filled with worry, and whispered, "But... but... Junior Brother..."

Upon hearing this, the smiles on everyone's faces froze; they were so excited that they almost forgot about it.

At this moment, on the altar.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ye Luo leisurely sat cross-legged and began to daydream. The golden lightning bolts that struck down were all blocked by the mysterious man inside the stone gate.

"When will this lightning stop striking?"

"Soon."

Hearing his somewhat cold voice, Ye Luo asked curiously again, "Who exactly are you? Why are you inside my sea of ​​consciousness? And why are you going to such lengths to help me?"

A moment later, a low chuckle came from inside the massive stone gate, saying, "What do you think?"

"You wouldn't happen to be an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, would you?"

"no."

"Then who exactly are you?"

"When the time comes, everything will become clear."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo felt a sense of dejection. It seemed that this person was another one who liked to speak in riddles. Suddenly, he felt a gentle spiritual force, as if it were caressing his body.

"Um?"

Just as he was filled with doubt, the mysterious man suddenly chuckled, "He's been starving all these years... You're in for a rough time."

Large deletion —

Ye Luo: "..."

Now it's all right.

The culprit has fled back to the upper realm, and no one knows when he will return, or even his current situation...

What if he reacts uncomfortably and needs pheromones to soothe him?

"Stupid dragon!"

Ye Luo suddenly cursed angrily, a hint of worry creeping into her heart, and muttered, "When you come back... I'll cut you up!"

Upon hearing this, a low laugh came from inside the stone gate, "Don't be afraid, your body will be fine for the time being. Just eat more spiritual foods to replenish it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was still somewhat worried, and he panicked a little.

He wanted to cry.

"My cultivation level is too low... I'm afraid my spiritual energy won't be able to sustain me..."

"I will fall into a deep sleep again later. Before that, I will leave you with a spiritual energy that should be enough to sustain you. You don't need to worry too much."

"Sleeping?" Ye Luo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you injured?"

"Um."

"Alright, prepare to conceal your aura. Your nascent soul is about to be formed."

"Oh." Ye Luo originally wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it, she realized that this guy might not tell her, so she gave up.

After the last golden lightning bolt faded, the five-colored thunderclouds in the sky dissipated.

Ye Luo concealed her aura and immediately felt refreshed. Her five senses and divine sense were much stronger. She got up and leaped down from the Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform.

"Master!"

When Ming Cang saw him jump straight down from above, he was almost scared out of his wits. "Hey, you little rascal, you better watch out!"

"Hehe, I'm fine."

Mingcang looked him over for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. He sighed and said, "Alright, it's good that you're alright."

——

After organizing the outline, I realized it was a real pain.

There are at least 200,000 words left, and I simply can't finish writing it all.

I'm so frustrated, I'll never write a long novel again, o(╥﹏╥)o
