Wei Ya immediately perked up and said happily, "Then thank you very much."

"You're welcome, I'll be going now." Xuan Lan took the Soul Knot, turned around and left. Knowing his brother as he did, he would never look down on the other's lack of immortal power, so it was fine to just leave it at that.

"Take care, I'll treat you to barbecue and drinks later." Wei Ya was completely unaware of Xuan Lan's inner thoughts and was quite pleased with herself.

After obtaining the Soul Knot, Xuanlan did not immediately return to Shangqing Palace. Although refining the Soul Knot was not as difficult as refining the ring space, it was still not simple. Each of the auxiliary materials required was a rare treasure in the Upper Immortal Realm.

Wei Ya was right about one thing: he did want to bind his soul to Qiao Qiu's soul.

However, the condition for binding him was that he would not allow Qiao Qiu to suffer any harm.

If he fails, he won't tell Qiao Qiu; he'll tell her when he succeeds.

Qiao Qiu, who knew nothing about these things, locked herself in the main hall day and night to study the curse, while Gu Yu silently accompanied her outside the main hall.

Three more months passed, and Qiao Qiu finally made some progress in her research.

However, at this moment, the celestial phenomena appeared again, indicating that someone was about to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality.

Qiao Qiu, who was in the middle of his research, was startled awake. He slapped his forehead and realized that he had forgotten to calculate the time when his other disciples would ascend to immortality.

Judging from this celestial phenomenon, some people are probably already undergoing tribulations.

Without bothering with calculations, Qiao Qiu put down the book about curses in her hand and ran out.

However, the moment the door opened, Gu Yu pushed her inside.

Qiao Qiu was filled with questions. "Gu Yu, what are you doing?"

“Master, you have a strong smell of curse on you, you cannot go out.” Gu Yu’s attitude was firm.

"We can't go out." Qiao Qiu looked down at herself and saw a ring of black energy surrounding her. "Gu Yu, is your junior brother undergoing tribulation?"

“No, I have calculated that Jiang Xi will not ascend for at least another year, and Shang Jin will have another thirty years,” Gu Yu replied.

Qiao Qiu nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Not to mention Kunlun, other cultivation sects also have many Transcending Tribulation Ancestors, and their situations are also very different.

Gu Yu was still a small child. He looked at Qiao Qiu and suddenly asked in a daze, "Master, were you this worried when Gu Yu ascended to immortality?"

“Silly child, transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality is the greatest tribulation for cultivators. How could I not worry?” Qiao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Master, you know perfectly well that the formation you left behind can block almost all of the tribulation lightning.”

Qiao Qiu patted his little head. "You've shrunk and become stupid. When your master was undergoing tribulation, he told you that everything would be foolproof. So why did you all cry when your master successfully ascended?"

Gu Yu blushed, scratched the back of his head, and lowered his head. That made sense. When he was watching his master undergo tribulation, he didn't think about whether that thing was reliable or not. He was worried and just hoped that nothing would happen to her.

"When undergoing a tribulation, the most nervous person is often not the one undergoing the tribulation. Do you understand?"

Gu Yu nodded. "Master, I understand."

"Good that you understand. You also have a disciple, who will ascend to immortality in the future. You'll understand then." Qiao Qiu remembered that she had many grand-disciples.

Well, she dotes on her apprentices but doesn't pay much attention to her grand-apprentices.

Gu Yu thought of his disciples and his lips twitched. "Master, please don't make fun of me. My disciples are not cut out for ascension at all."

"It's better that I can't ascend, so you won't have to worry." Qiao Qiu started calculating with her fingers. Although people from the Upper Immortal Realm can't interfere in the affairs of the cultivation world, they can still predict many major events that are about to happen.

"Master, what are you calculating?" Gu Yu asked curiously.

"Let's figure out the general direction your apprentices will take in the future," Qiao Qiu said. Gu Yu has about ten apprentices, each with their own direction, which is quite good.

"Oh." Gu Yu nodded. Actually, he felt a little guilty. He hadn't taught his apprentices with all his heart; he had basically left them to their own devices.

After calculating the apprentices of Gu Yu, Qiao Qiu then calculated the female lead's.

She can save the cultivation world a lot of trouble. It would be best if the female lead didn't ascend to this world before she leaves.

After much calculation, Qiao Qiu discovered something: she couldn't predict what the female lead would do in the future.

What happened?

Qiao Qiu calculated the female lead's current cultivation level again and found that she was still in the Nascent Soul stage.

Didn't you get promoted pretty quickly before? Why haven't you made any progress at all now?

Qiao Qiu was filled with suspicion, wondering if there was something fishy going on. She looked at Gu Yu and asked, "Do you know Mu Lanyue?"

Gu Yu nodded, "I know." His cultivation speed surpassed that of his master, and everyone in the sect had heard of this genius, so he naturally knew as well.

"Did you pay attention to her movements before you ascended?" Qiao Qiu asked.

"No, not at all." Gu Yu shook his head. At that time, in order to calm his emotions about seeing his master, he went into seclusion for half a month before ascending.

Qiao Qiu did some calculations again and this time managed to figure out Mu Lanyue's general situation over the past few months.

Mu Lanyue was learning from her behavior; besides taking on disciples herself, she also guided other disciples in the sect. Then she learned from her disciples and grew close to them.

Sisi has already gone to the Seven Star Illusionary Realm and has not come into contact with Mu Lanyue.

Following Gu Yu's seclusion, Jiang Xi and Jin Shang also went into seclusion, and Mu Lanyue did not see them.

Mu Lanyue had contacted all of her other apprentices.

Fortunately, Hongsha and the others were not affected by the protagonist's halo and turned into fools, and they did not treat Mu Lanyue with sincerity.

It's also possible that she had previously ordered Hongsha to keep an eye on Mu Lanyue, and they noticed something.

In any case, as long as he doesn't get too close to the female lead, that's fine.

What I fear most is that the female lead is not only a pure and innocent girl, but also a *censored keyword*.

"Master, you seem to pay extra attention to Mu Lanyue. Why is that?" Gu Yu asked, puzzled.

"Gu Yu, do you still remember when I failed my first tribulation?" Qiao Qiu decided to tell Gu Yu about it to save him from guessing.

"I remember." They almost went crazy that time; they didn't just remember, they remembered it vividly.

"At that time, I had actually successfully transcended the tribulation, but who knew that a world-destroying lightning bolt would suddenly strike down from the sky, almost shattering my soul. Then I realized that I wasn't the only one undergoing the tribulation; there was another person, Mu Lanyue. She had already fainted and didn't see me, but I saw her."

"Damn it, if I were still in the cultivation world, I would definitely make her pay!" Gu Yu said bitterly. Then he remembered something and looked at Qiao Qiu, "Master, why didn't you say so back then?"

"Gu Yu, back then, Master couldn't say anything. Who could believe that a Golden Core cultivator undergoing tribulation could attract a world-destroying lightning tribulation? That's something only demonic cultivators experience when they ascend. Later, I investigated, and there were no traces of demonic cultivation on Mu Lanyue's body." Qiao Qiu said this with a slight guilty conscience. (For the latest chapters, please visit Tangkexing---Mobile Address:)
