Chapter 255 Heaven's Rewards and Punishments?
Suddenly.
The illusions vanished, and Ye Luo couldn't help but regain her composure. She already knew the fate of those two.
Even though they are so powerful, they can't fight against so many opponents, and they will eventually run out of strength and get tired.
But a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart as he asked the void before him, "So... they all perished?"
"Yes, the battle then lasted for three days and three nights."
"In the end, the Sword Master resolutely extracted the immortal bone from his body, transformed it into a sword, and unleashed the final blow. After severely injuring the Holy Maiden of the Outer Realm, he fell into reincarnation with her curse."
"After killing the Holy Maiden, Qi Jun used his immortal body as a sacrifice to unleash his heaven-reaching power and seal those extraterrestrial gates, thus saving the lower realm from a catastrophe."
"Using a celestial body as a sacrifice?"
Ye Luo's face was full of astonishment. He had almost cultivated to the level of a true immortal. How could he be so resolute in his decision to die?
"So... how do you view their path?" the question came again from the void.
Ye Luo fell into deep thought, and after a moment sighed, "Whether one transcends worldly affairs or sacrifices oneself for righteousness, both are the great paths."
"They could have stayed out of it, but they all went down to the mortal world to protect the common people. Their sense of righteousness is truly admirable."
"If such a catastrophe were to return, what choice would you make?"
"A comeback?" Ye Luo frowned slightly. "Could it be that those extraterrestrial cultivators are planning to invade again?"
"Yes." The voice came from the void again, "That saintess from the outer realm back then did not actually die, but has been recuperating and lying dormant in the lower realm as a soul. She is the one who tortured and killed you in your previous life."
"So it was her!" Ye Luo's face darkened. After a moment of thought, she asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, wasn't she killed by Qi Jun?"
"No, although her physical body is dead, her soul is immortal. She is an extraordinary existence in this world. I have tried to kill her several times, but she has survived in the form of a soul. It is impossible to completely destroy her."
Ye Luo suddenly thought of a possibility and tentatively asked, "Could she be a time traveler from ten thousand years ago? Or perhaps one with some kind of cheat code?"
What is "hanging up"?
"Um... it's something that defies common sense and is incredibly powerful."
"It seems so. She has an ancient jade in her possession called the Time-Turning Jade. It can ignore the laws of heaven and earth of this world, infinitely manipulate the power of space, and make time reverse all kinds of supernatural powers."
"Oh!" Ye Luo suddenly clapped her hands. "Holy crap, isn't this a cheat code?!"
"???"
"That's not right. If she was cheating, how come she was killed by Qi Jun?"
Ye Luo suddenly realized something, her face full of surprise as she said, "Could it be that he is also a time traveler?"
The avatar of Heaven coughed lightly, "That should be it. I discovered the commonalities between the two of them, so I secretly protected and nurtured him to see how effective it would be..."
"What a great way to sit back and watch the tigers fight!"
Ye Luo's eyes gleamed. "So, you're the one who orchestrated my arrival here? And now you want to use me to deal with her?"
"I guess so."
Ye Luo curled her lip and sneered, "Ha, what merit do I have to catch your eye? You should at least be looking for someone as brilliant as Qi Jun."
"You also possess the Heavenly Spirit Body; that alone is enough."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that Qi Jun was also an omega!
etc!
So the Celestial Spirit Body recorded in that ancient book is him?!
This is the person Jun Yi has been searching for for thousands of years...
So, after all this back and forth, everyone wants to keep him as a backup option?!
Thinking of this, Ye Luo felt a surge of displeasure. "Pah, you old bastard! Don't even think about controlling me!"
"I'm a narrow-minded person, I don't understand those grand principles of saving the world. I do things as I please, I settle scores and avenge wrongs. I will avenge that wretched woman, but I will not become your puppet!"
"Are you done with your trial? I'm leaving!"
"???"
The Heavenly Dao avatar was speechless for a moment. "Why are you so temperamental, child? You don't want the rewards from the trial?"
"Oh? So my trial isn't over yet? Are you saying you're giving me a fast track?"
"It's not impossible... You little brat, if you call me 'Dad,' you'll be the chosen one of Heaven, and you can have any privileges you want."
Upon hearing this, a sly glint appeared in Ye Luo's eyes. "Really?"
"Um."
"Then just let me become a true immortal, and I'll be spared the hardship of cultivation!"
"..."
"Then you should just get lost."
In a fit of anger, the Heavenly Dao avatar banished him from the illusion, and after a long while, a low laugh echoed from the void.
"You little rascal, how come you're so different from your previous two lives? I don't know what Qi is thinking, he still hasn't awakened."
"Could it be that I guided you incorrectly?"
"Oh well, perhaps he can bring me a surprise in this life."
...
Ye Luo was expelled from the trial illusion when a sudden clap of thunder nearly scared him out of his wits.
Could it be that the petty Heavenly Dao actually wants to strike him down?!
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that the heavenly lightning wasn't aimed at him, but at the surrounding Heavenly Dao Spiritual Platforms. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But at that moment, a stone gate suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, and a surge of immense power erupted from it, "Nascent Soul Formation."
"What?" Ye Luo was stunned by what she saw, and was about to ask something when...
Suddenly, he felt a terrifying pressure sweeping down from above. The terrifying thunderclouds were right above him, making his scalp tingle.
"Hey, is this some kind of reward?"
Damn, didn't he say he didn't want it? How could you force him to?
"Concentrate."
"What the hell? My body isn't in a good position right now... We can't form our nascent soul today!"
If anything goes wrong, he'll regret it immensely...
"oh?"
Ye Luo listened to his indifferent voice and couldn't figure out his emotions for a while. After a long while, a low laugh came from inside the stone gate.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
"Huh?" Before Ye Luo could react, a bolt of golden lightning struck down from above.
Just then, a powerful spiritual force surged out from the stone gate, enveloping him and easily resisting the first bolt of heavenly lightning.
Ye Luo kept his eyes focused on his nose and his mind, continuing his cross-legged meditation posture.
He was overjoyed. He never thought that passing through a tribulation would be so easy. Was this some kind of special treatment for X-husband?
Or is it that the Heavenly Dao really opened a green channel for him to cultivate?
In any case, compared to the deadly tribulation of the Core Formation stage, this kind of easy advancement is just too awesome!
Ye Luo was enjoying himself immensely when he caught a glimpse of Cen Feng not far away, who seemed to be forming his Nascent Soul at the same time.
Even Bai Ruoqian, who was not far away, seemed to have rolling thunderclouds above her head.
Ye Luo was speechless. "Good heavens, they're all rushing to form Nascent Souls?"
Suddenly, a bolt of golden lightning struck down from Cen Feng's direction, startling him so much that he instinctively shrank back to look. He saw that Cen Feng was struggling to defend himself and seemed to be gradually showing signs of fatigue, which made him worry.
“He’ll be fine,” the mysterious man inside the stone gate suddenly said. “He has karma on his hands, so the lightning tribulation is just a bit fiercer for him.”
"Cause and effect?" Ye Luo looked at Cen Feng not far away, his face thoughtful. Just as he was about to grasp some clue, Bai Ruoqian's scream came from next door.
Ye Luo looked over curiously and saw her curled up on the altar, seemingly muttering some curses, but she was too far away to hear anything clearly.
"Crack—!" A bolt of lightning struck down suddenly. Her face was filled with terror. She instantly escaped from her spiritual platform on her sword, and the lightning bolt followed her...
miserable.
That's really tragic.
"Good heavens...did she offend the Heavenly Dao?"
Seeing her flee in such a disheveled state, Ye Luo couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, but on the surface, she still pretended to be focused on breaking through.
Not long after, Cen Feng's tribulation ended, and he successfully formed his nascent soul. After concealing his aura, he leaped down and flew away.
"Master, I've succeeded!"
Ming Cang stepped forward and patted Cen Feng on the shoulder, his face full of satisfaction, nodding excitedly and saying "okay" repeatedly.
At this moment, only Ye Luo remained high in the sky; the others had already left the Spirit Platform.
