A hundred years later.
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and black clouds flashing with lightning pressed down little by little. The heavy feeling of oppression made every monk who witnessed this scene feel a tightness in their chest, but no one looked away.
Ascension thunder tribulation.
For most monks, it is extremely lucky to encounter it once in a lifetime, and the insights gained from it are enough for them to overcome barriers and take a step further.
Jiang Yixi stood at the highest point of Jiugong Sect, looking up at this scene.
——That guy got there first again.
He sighed like this, but there was no surprise in his heart. He even had a feeling of "it's finally here" and "it's as expected".
Although after that "resurrection", Ling Hua's cultivation was supplemented by external forces, his foundation was originally unstable, and further progress would be extremely difficult.
But that person himself exists to break the routine.
If "rebuilding the foundation of Taoism" has precedents in ancient classics, then being able to "convert spiritual power and demonic energy at will" is unheard of.
Coupled with the other party's occasional detached attitude, Jiang Yixi sometimes wondered if his friend was some kind of immortal who had come down to earth to experience tribulations...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
——If this is true, then he is truly a god who loves the world and saves people from suffering.

…………
Gathering his thoughts that were gradually drifting away, Jiang Yixi looked at the thunderclouds over there, unable to hide the worry on his face.
Witnessing the thunder tribulation of ascension with one's own eyes was a rare opportunity even for a cultivator of his level...or perhaps it was precisely because his cultivation had reached this level that the things that could be called "opportunities" for him became few and far between.
The opportunity was rare, but Jiang Yixi was completely unable to calm down and comprehend it at this moment.
After all, thunder tribulation is heaven's torture for cultivators like them who go against heaven. They go through thunder tribulation and survive a narrow escape... and that person had clearly died once under thunder tribulation.
But compared to him, there are probably two other guys who have witnessed their master die in the thunder tribulation and are more anxious.
Jiang Yixi looked at the two figures that appeared in an instant and stood only one step away from the thunder tribulation area, and couldn't help but shook his head: He couldn't keep his cool.
...No, three...
Jiang Yixi looked at Lou Kongyu, who had finally succeeded in becoming his disciple after a hundred years of hard work and had just broken through to the Out-of-Body Stage a few days ago, and felt a headache: Xiaoya and Yiqiu were fine, but with this kid's cultivation level, if he stood so close...if he was affected...
Then he thought again, his face darkened: After all, this guy isn't his apprentice, why is he so worried about him? ?
Complicated and chaotic thoughts were tangled in his mind, but when the pillar of lightning that penetrated the sky and earth rushed down into the sky, all thoughts were cleared for a moment, and only the bright color that carried the power of heaven and earth was reflected in his eyes.
Then, Jiang Yixi watched helplessly...
The energy of the lightning rapidly dissipated as it went downwards. When it was in the air, it was still raging with flashing lightning, and even the surrounding space was distorted. But when it was close to the ground, it seemed to have retracted its claws and fangs. From a distance, it even gave the illusion of being somewhat docile...
Jiang Yixi: ???
Of course, the so-called "docile" is just a description in comparison. The thunder that is as thick as several people should not be underestimated in terms of deterrence and power.
But compared with the grand scene at the beginning, the final scene seemed like child's play.
The lightning, which seemed to have been weakened countless times, fell on the person who had experienced the tribulation, but was blocked by the rising golden light.
Jiang Yixi was distracted for a moment, and suddenly an epiphany came to him.
——Merit, that is the golden light of merit that protects the body...
If it was Linghua, then it is indeed very likely.
With Jiang Yixi's eyesight, he could see from afar that the person involved was unharmed after the lightning struck.
He was so emotional that he couldn't even feel nervous. As expected, compared to the one in the middle who was struck by lightning, the kids on the edge of the lightning zone were more dangerous. If he accidentally stepped into the lightning zone, Ling Hua would be fine because of his merits, but those kids would be dead.
Jiang Yixi was about to make a move, but saw several figures at the edge suddenly retreat a distance.
No, rather than saying that he "retreat" actively, it would be more accurate to say that he was "pushed away" by an invisible force, and the person pushing him... Jiang Yixi saw the young man with a helpless expression in the flickering light.
Jiang Yixi: “…”
Under the thunder tribulation, he still has the leisure to care about these trivial matters. Is this person's existence meant to irritate people?
…
…………
Chu Lu really didn't feel any pressure. In this kind of small world, the so-called "ascension" meant that the individual's power exceeded the capacity of the small world, broke through the world barrier, and was expelled to a higher-dimensional world.
As an employee of the Spacetime Bureau, Chu Lu was an independent being outside the world. He had experienced the process of leaving the world hundreds of times and was very familiar with it. Even the current thunder tribulation was just a formality. He didn't care whether it succeeded or failed.
——Even if he succeeded, he would still have to deal with the body he had taken away from the small world...
However, although it would be more troublesome, Chu Lu still hoped to succeed.
After all, the last time he was struck to death by lightning, it seemed that he had left a big psychological shadow on his disciples and friends. This time, he hoped to leave a happy ending for his friends in this world...
For some reason the system was particularly proactive and took on this job.
Similar operations have special records in the Space-Time Bureau, and Chu Lu handed it over to the system with confidence. However, given the current situation, Chu Lu was a little doubtful whether he was being too confident too soon.
He had been struck by three consecutive thunderbolts, but not only was he not injured, he didn't even lose a single hair.
Not to mention the natives of this small world, even Chu Lu couldn't help but ask:
——Is this reasonable? !
The system not only did not reflect on itself, but even had a hint of pride in its tone: [Of course it makes sense!!]
[…According to the host’s work experience and mission experience in the small world, the merits of maintaining so many small worlds combined, even the thunder tribulation of the Golden Immortal can be unscathed, let alone the mere thunder tribulation of ascension? ]
[Speaking of which, the previous time when the host escaped from the world, it was I who contacted the General Administration to modify the parameters. Otherwise, that group of idiots would have all been killed by the lightning, and the host would probably have been unscathed...]
Chu Lu:...?
So, he had to thank the system for being struck to death by lightning last time?

The clouds parted and the sun came out. The guiding light shone through the gaps in the thick clouds, and the whole world seemed to become brighter.
The person who is destined to have the calamity is like stepping on a ladder to heaven, walking step by step towards the road that leads to heaven.
He had clearly just experienced a thunderstorm, but not only were there no wounds on his body, but even his white clothes, which looked like fresh snow, were spotless.
Under the sky, his raised clothes merged with the white clouds, and his figure gradually disappeared into them.
The posture high in the clouds is so natural that it doesn’t even look like ascending to the immortal world, but more like “returning”.
Lou Kongyu, who was looking up at this scene, suddenly recalled——
The very beginning...
He saw the edge of the clothes that was as white as fresh snow.
He couldn't help but mutter: "Immortal...Senior..."
…
…………
Jiang Yixi in the distance chuckled.
——An immortal who has experienced many tribulations?
If that's the case, then he's truly honored.
He raised his hand, and the flying bird formed by spiritual power picked up the sect leader's token in his hand and flapped its wings and flew away.
He turned around and walked towards the place for retreat that had been prepared long ago.

Time passes and the world changes.
The changing times have drowned out the stories of the past, and those past events have turned into hazy legends.
The yellow sand of Wuwang Sea seems to be always silent.
But the crisscrossing tracks have made it lose its former desolation.
[Attention, tourists, attention, tourists! We will enter the [S-level forbidden spirit area, Wuwang Sea] next. In order to save energy, the spirit boat will land on the ground and enter the mechanical operation track. There will be a slight bumpy feeling... Please pay attention to safety...]
This slightly stiff broadcast voice repeated three times, and was replaced by another softer and more intimate female voice:
【Welcome everyone to take the [Linghua] flying boat. The [Linghua] uses the latest alliance technology and uses a combination of spirit stones, magic stones, and mechanical power for energy. It is the first route in the alliance that can directly cross the Wuwang Sea and connect the [Cultivation World] and the [Demon World]... To commemorate this historic breakthrough, the flying boat is named after the Taoist name of the founder of the alliance, [Linghua Immortal]...】
The female voice introducing the event was soft and moving, and it was the voice of the recently popular idol, Yunyin Pavilion's senior sister Shuyuan Fairy. However, no matter how beautiful the introduction was in this situation, it was impossible to focus people's attention on it.
The Jiugong Sect specially arranged a noise reduction formation inside the flying boat, but it still couldn't resist people's curious discussion about the first voyage of this hybrid flying boat.
"Daddy, I know, I know this... Linghua..." A childish voice rang out, "The teacher in the school told us the story of the immortal Linghua a few days ago!"
"Which story?"
My father responded with a smile, and then pretended to think, "Is it 'virtue and ascension'? After you cultivate, you must do more good deeds, so that even the thunder will not strike you."
"No, no!" the boy raised his voice, "I heard that story when I was three years old, and now I'm three and a half years old!"
The child's childish words made the passengers nearby laugh out loud. A woman opposite couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Then, little brother who is three and a half years old, can you tell me what story you heard this time?"
Being asked this question suddenly, the boy shrank back a little shyly, but then he straightened his chest and tried to show his manliness, "It was the 'Sealing the Devil', Ling Huaxianren beat the bad guy away!!"
As he spoke, he gestured excitedly, "Just like this, 'swish--', 'whoosh--', 'whoosh'..."
It seemed as if he wanted to retell the story with the help of a few onomatopeia, which caused another round of laughter.
The flying boat gliding along the track happened to pass a certain location, and someone immediately pointed to the distance and reminded, "...that's where the demon is sealed..."
The announcement in the flying boat sounded at the right time -
[…The next place you will pass is [A scenic spot: Heavenly Demon Seal]. Because the danger rating of [Heavenly Demon Seal] is 'Super S-level', the flying boat will maintain a safe distance from it during operation. Please do not leave at will…]
The sound of the announcement and the child's exclamation of "Wow" mixed together. The boy almost pressed his body against the barrier of the flying boat. His father at the side tried to dissuade him helplessly, "...Xiu Yi, sit still."
The boy rubbed his eyes in confusion, "Daddy, is there any movement over there?"
"Where?"
My father also went to check it out, but didn't see anything wrong. Others also looked around curiously, but didn't find anything unusual.
The father frowned, "...Did you not sleep last night and you are seeing double now?"
The boy immediately looked away feeling guilty.

When I woke up, I suddenly found myself turned into a demon in a tourist attraction: ???
