Tianji had already moved a little further away when the young couple was expressing their feelings to each other, but she kept an eye on their movements.
Suddenly, Xiao Linyi closed his eyes and collapsed. Before his heart could even clench, he heard Chu Xinxin call out to him, "Tianji, come and help me."
Chu Xinxin wanted to move Xiao Linyi to the center of the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation. According to the system, using the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation to transfer spiritual veins and spiritual energy would be faster and more effective, and more importantly, it would save energy.
If Chu Xinxin is still unable to leave this world after the transfer, then the remaining energy can be used to prolong her life.
After Tianji moved Xiao Linyi to the center of the formation, he retreated outside the formation to protect her.
The heavenly tribulation lightning had not yet dissipated, and a terrifying tenth heavenly lightning bolt was brewing. Chu Xinxin's clone, carrying the two mirrors, was preparing to help her withstand it.
Standing outside the formation, outside the system's protective range, Tianji could clearly feel the power of the heavenly lightning.
He glanced at Chu Xinxin, who was soaring into the air and ready for battle, and then looked at Chu Xinxin inside the formation—she could repair the damaged Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram, with a mere wave of her hand.
Although I knew Chu Xinxin was mysterious, I never imagined she was this powerful!
Hopefully, she really does have a way to save Xiao Linyi...
The formation was quickly activated, blocking Tianji's vision.
Inside the formation, the system was about to help Chu Xinxin and Xiao Linyi change their clothes, but after hesitating for a long time, it decided to tell Chu Xinxin the truth.
[Sister, do you know why we set the affection level to 100? Generally speaking, when the affection level of a character you're pursuing reaches 100, it means that this person really likes you, to the point where you're willing to get married. But 10,000 affection level is beyond what "sharing life and death" can describe. I think you understand exactly what that means, which is why I'm willing to agree to your request.]
After listening for a long time, Chu Xinxin finally gave a soft "hmm".
I didn't tell you before because I was afraid it would be a blow to your confidence...
"No need for explanations, let's begin."
【good. 】
......
After the powerful and overwhelming tenth heavenly lightning strike, Chu Xinxin's clone disappeared, and the twin mirrors developed a crack and fell to the ground.
The heavenly tribulation left a sliver of hope for those undergoing the tribulation; they had a period of time to recuperate before the next bolt of heavenly lightning.
Tianji had only waited for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when the array in front of him suddenly stopped operating.
Chu Xinxin and Xiao Linyi reappeared before Tianji's eyes.
Xiao Linyi sat on the ground with his eyes closed, maintaining a meditative posture. Chu Xinxin stood opposite him, looking down at him.
Tianji strode forward, and even before getting close, he could feel Xiao Linyi's surging spiritual power circulating within him.
"What did you do?" Tianji asked.
Chu Xinxin didn't answer. Tianji subconsciously scanned her and immediately discovered the key to the problem: Chu Xinxin had no spiritual power at all!
"You are..." Tianji had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.
Chu Xinxin smiled sweetly: "You've reminded me."
The next moment, the Foundation Establishment aura that originally belonged to Chu Xinxin returned to her.
Tianji looked at her with surprise and doubt, wondering if Chu Xinxin was from the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, how could her cultivation level change so quickly, and how could she cultivate spiritual treasures so easily? None of them had been able to see through her before.
Regardless of what he was thinking, Chu Xinxin quietly waited for Xiao Linyi to calm the fluctuations of spiritual energy within his body and adapt to the operation of the new spiritual veins.
The time to catch one's breath was over, and the heavenly tribulation lightning slowly gathered again, but the aura of the person undergoing tribulation had changed and no longer met the requirements for tribulation. The heavenly lightning felt that the person undergoing tribulation had used some method to conceal it, and it was determined to wait for that person to reveal a flaw, so it refused to disperse and kept circling above their heads.
Tianji was finding it hard to withstand the pressure.
But not long after, Xiao Linyi opened his eyes. He stared intently at Chu Xinxin without asking what she had done. He clearly felt that the spiritual veins circulating in his body belonged to Chu Xinxin!
"I can't lie to you." Chu Xinxin saw his expression and knew he knew. She smiled slightly and said, "You're not allowed to dissipate your spiritual power again. You should cherish what I gave you."
"Come here." Xiao Linyi stared at Chu Xinxin with a deep look, a rare display of anger on his face. He was trapped in place by the formation and couldn't break free for the time being.
"No way! You want to trick me into going back to the past and then give it back to me? I'm not stupid." Chu Xinxin saw through Xiao Linyi's intentions and felt a little smug.
"Chu Xinxin!"
"I'm here!" Chu Xinxin paused and continued, "How could you be so foolish? If you lost your cultivation and died, I would definitely find someone else. The moment you left, I would find a few young and handsome male cultivators and indulge in debauchery in front of your memorial tablet every day..."
Xiao Lin was so angry he almost vomited blood: "You dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare to do? You can't control me anyway. You can't go to the brothel, drag me back, tie me up at home, and make me write a self-criticism. I'm very happy." Chu Xinxin said with longing.
Following her words, Xiao Linyi imagined that if he were gone, there would be so many people coveting Chu Xinxin, such as Qingyun and Zhou Ming. He immediately wished he could put Chu Xinxin into his Sumeru Ring and carry her with him at all times!
[Sister, do you really want to die? You know you've lost all your favorability! Don't provoke him!]
The system was so scared by the plummeting favorability rating that it almost crashed.
Chu Xinxin ignored him and continued, "Sigh, Xiao Linyi, you're really too kind. You know I'm poor, and even after I've amassed a fortune, you still know to make room for the next person. When I bring him into the Zichen Palace, I'll definitely have him kowtow three times to your memorial tablet first, to thank Master Zichen for his generosity..."
Tianji, standing beside him, couldn't help but chuckle: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Chu Xinxin: "I think Master Tianji is a great young talent. A good brother of your Daoist partner... to sleep in your bed in front of your memorial tablet, just thinking about it is exciting."
Tianji was so frightened that she took three meters back to create some distance.
Chu Xinxin slowly stepped forward and stopped a step away from Xiao Linyi. Xiao Linyi could easily pull her into his arms with a single reach, but he couldn't move.
Tian Lei grew angry as he couldn't find anyone for a long time. Sensing that there was another person below who was also about to undergo tribulation, he locked the person in place for fear that they would run away.
Chu Xinxin slowly leaned down and planted a kiss on Xiao Linyi's lips, her tone slightly coaxing: "You must ascend to the Immortal Realm, you know? I was originally a little fairy maiden in the Immortal Realm. I made a mistake and was banished to the mortal world. Even if I lose my spiritual veins, I still have my immortal veins..."
"I have many suitors in the Immortal Realm. Why don't you go up there and make a name for yourself first? When I get back, I'll go with other male immortals to get marriage tokens. The Immortal Realm isn't like the Emperor Yao Continent. Once you get a marriage token, you're under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, and it can only be dispelled by the demise of your body and the death of your Dao..."
"Didn't you want to come with me? You go to the Immortal Realm first, and I'll follow shortly. I won't look for anyone else. Will you wait for me in the Immortal Realm...?"
The pressure of the tribulation lightning grew stronger and stronger. Chu Xinxin lost her cultivation and her figure became increasingly unstable in the center of the tribulation lightning.
Xiao Linyi's tribulation was a foregone conclusion. Ignoring his injuries, he broke through the lightning tribulation's lock and pulled Chu Xinxin into his arms, holding her tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to meld Chu Xinxin into his very bones.
He was silent for a moment before saying softly, "Okay."
...
As the tribulation struck, Chu Xinxin and Tianji retreated far away, leaving the Qiangze Secret Realm.
Xiao Linyi flew into the air to face the lightning tribulation. The lightning tribulation formed a sea of lightning around him, so dazzling that he could not be seen.
However, Tianji was not worried. He told Chu Xinxin that Xiao Linyi had been preparing for thousands of years, but lacked the opportunity to ascend. The tribulation of lightning was not difficult for him. The greater and fiercer the tribulation of lightning, the more spiritual power he absorbed and the more Heavenly Dao he verified.
“You were implicated by him before and went through the same heavenly tribulation with him. Now you are the one who brought about his tribulation of ascension. The cycle of cause and effect is truly strange and wonderful.” Tianji shook his head with emotion after saying this.
As soon as he finished speaking, the last bolt of heavenly lightning subsided, and Xiao Linyi's Great Dao was finally achieved. At this moment, every corner of the Emperor Yao Continent felt the earth-shattering pressure of the immortal. Deep within their souls, fear and submission arose unconsciously, and those with low cultivation prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling...
A beam of light descended from the sky, guiding those who were ascending to the celestial realm.
Xiao Linyi's body couldn't control him as he flew upwards. He turned his head to look at Chu Xinxin, as if he wanted to remember her, or as if he was reluctant to part with her.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and wanted to move towards Chu Xinxin, but his body was completely out of his control.
Finally, unwillingly, he unleashed a stream of pure spiritual energy at Chu Xinxin. The energy was gentle and harmless, and Chu Xinxin didn't dodge. The energy entered her body and disappeared. After absorbing the energy, Chu Xinxin didn't notice any difference in her body...
[Ding-dong—Congratulations, host! Your target's favorability has reached maximum. They are preparing to leave the cultivation world. Are you ready? Countdown: three, two, one.]
