Chapter 103 Heaven Opens a Back Door

Although he couldn't take her place in experiencing the tribulation, Ye Tanji still took out several magical artifacts that she could use.

The lightning-attracting cone and the thunder sword are both magical artifacts tempered by lightning, which can help Xi'er share some of the power of the heavenly lightning.

Xi'er wasn't afraid of the heavenly tribulation at all, but Ye Tanji was ultimately well-intentioned, so she accepted the magical artifact he gave her and left the world in the painting.

Back in reality, Sang Yuebai immediately set up a protective barrier around her; otherwise, his city lord's mansion would have been doomed if the heavenly tribulation had struck.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Tanji said with dissatisfaction, "Look at how stingy you are. I will definitely compensate you for whatever damage your city lord's mansion suffers later."

“Compensation at the original price is not enough. Many of the furnishings in my city lord’s mansion were collected with great effort and cannot be measured by money,” Sang Yuebai said.

"Then tenfold compensation, is that alright?" Ye Tanji said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Sang Yuebai nodded in delight.

On the other side, as soon as Xi'er left the world in the painting, she felt herself being locked onto by the Heavenly Dao.

Numerous dark clouds arrived from all directions like a bustling market, and in an instant, the sky above the city lord's mansion was covered with dark clouds, and it was almost completely dark.

Ye Tanji's face was dark and gloomy. He had not expected that the tribulation that Xi'er was about to face would be so powerful.

His heart clenched. Could a little girl like Xi'er withstand such a heavenly tribulation?

At this moment, Ye Tanji had already made up his mind. If Xi'er couldn't withstand it later, he would risk losing half of his cultivation and a thousand years of lifespan to bear the heavenly tribulation for her.

Sang Yuebai was also terrified!

Brother Ye Tan finally managed to have a moment of joy, but the young girl he set his sights on attracted such a terrifying heavenly tribulation.

Back when he broke through to the Heaven-Breaking Realm, the scale of the Heavenly Tribulation was not even two-thirds as grand as it is now.

Could this girl be some reincarnated powerful figure who has offended the Heavenly Dao?

As thunder roared and the first bolt of lightning struck, Ye Tanji, who was extremely nervous and about to rush over regardless of the consequences, realized something was wrong.

Why did the purplish-gold lightning bolt, as thick as a thigh, suddenly split and turn into a fine, thread-like lightning net when it struck down and landed three inches above Xi'er's head?

It's important to understand that the difference in power between a lightning net and a thick, concentrated bolt of lightning is like heaven and earth.

It's like the difference between a big stick and a soft fishing net; they're not even in the same league.

Ye Tanji possesses over 30,000 years of memories, yet he has never seen lightning split in two.

Can someone explain this to him? Have these Thunder God and Lightning Goddess lost their minds?

Sang Yuebai was also stunned by the changes in the lightning. Just what kind of monster was this little girl that she could get the Heavenly Dao to give her special treatment?

In fact, Heaven was indeed giving Xi'er a special favor, because it was through her mistaken entry into this world that she inadvertently discovered the passage for the Zerg invasion.

It was with her help that Ye Tanji obtained the information interference substance, thus saving the world from destruction.

Moreover, she saved not just this world, but this entire universe.

Such merit is unprecedented; throughout tens of thousands of years, no one in this universe has been able to accomplish it.

Faced with such a person of great merit, why would Heaven make things difficult for her?

Even if she wanted to ascend to heaven on the spot, the Heavenly Dao of this world would obediently build an ascension passage for her and personally send her to ascend.

Of course, Heaven was reluctant to strike her with heavenly lightning, but the heavenly lightning tribulation was not something that Heaven created simply to make things difficult for cultivators.

Without the baptism of heavenly lightning, even if one's cultivation reaches a sufficiently high level, it is difficult to achieve the same level of physical strength and mental state.

Therefore, heavenly lightning is essential.

However, how exactly to chop it is a matter of some flexibility.

For example, a bolt of lightning that has been condensed into a single rope can disperse and become a lightning net.

Xi'er felt the lightning net above her head and carefully reached out to touch it. The lightning from the net entered her body through her fingers.

Constrained by the laws of nature, these lightning bolts, after entering her body, dared not wantonly damage her meridians.

Instead, they transformed into gentle streams, gradually tempering her muscles and flesh, making her body slowly stronger.

Ye Tanji and Sang Yuebai watched as the gentle, flowing lightning slowly entered her body.

Looking at her expression, there was no pain at all, only a tingling, electric-like sensation that brought her a pleasant enjoyment.

By now, how could they not understand that this girl had been favored by Heaven? No, not just favored, but deeply loved—the kind of love that was unprecedented and unparalleled!

Since even Heaven couldn't bear to see her suffer, Ye Tanji and Sang Yuebai naturally no longer worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Twenty-seven bolts of heavenly lightning, each one seemingly terrifying when it struck, but without exception, the thick bolts turned into trickles of water when they hit her.

Sang Yuebai was almost dozing off. What happened to the supposed life-or-death struggle? What happened to the thrilling excitement?

The last bolt of lightning finally ended, and the sky was filled with auspicious seven-colored clouds, with continuous spiritual rain that soaked Xi'er completely.

Moreover, these spiritual rains seemed to have eyes; they didn't fall around her at all, but all came straight for her.

Such a spectacular sight was something that Ye Tanji and Sang Yuebai had never heard of before.

In the past, when cultivators underwent tribulation, a few were able to summon spiritual rain from the sky, but the spiritual rain usually fell within a certain range rather than surrounding a single person.

Most importantly, the spiritual rain that Xi'er summoned was a seven-colored spiritual rain, and the concentration of spiritual energy contained within it exceeded their previous understanding.

Others' spiritual rain is a light drizzle, lasting no more than fifteen minutes.

The spiritual rain that Xi'er summoned was continuous, sticky and silky, and lasted for a full hour.

"Heaven is blatantly giving her preferential treatment!" Sang Yuebai transmitted her voice to Ye Tanji.

"Envious? Jealous? Xi'er is just that outstanding, no one can compare to her!" Ye Tanji praised mindlessly.

Sang Yuebai: Tsk tsk tsk, it's terrifying when an iron tree blooms; it's like it's completely smitten.

After Xi'er finished her tribulation, she looked up at the sky and found that it was already completely dark.

She slapped her thigh in a panic: "Oh no, this is terrible!"

"What happened? Don't panic, we're here for you," Sang Yuebai said.

Ye Tanji glared at him fiercely: You stole his lines again!

"Xi'er, don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, I, the Palace Master, can hold it up for you," he quickly added.

Both big shots believed that Xi'er must have had problems with her meridians after her breakthrough.

"We agreed to buy a house and land, but it's already dark now. We've missed a whole day. Tomorrow, both house prices and land prices will probably go up. We're going to miss a great opportunity to make money," Xi'er said regretfully.

Sang Yuebai looked at her old friend with disdain: "You stingy man! You're so rich, why do you still make Xi'er work hard to earn money?"
