Chapter 29
The two looked at Wen Wan in disbelief, completely baffled as to how she had managed to destroy a top-grade artifact so quietly and without making a sound.
It's important to understand that destroying a celestial artifact is no easy task, let alone one of such a high grade.
Normally, if a top-grade immortal artifact is destroyed, the surrounding area will surely be devastated. But the Glazed Pure Bottle just disappeared right before their eyes without anyone noticing.
On the Immortal Artifact Ranking, if an Immortal Artifact is damaged, its name will show cracks of varying degrees, the severity of which depends on the extent of the damage.
However, damaged magical artifacts can still be restored through repair.
The shattered text indicates that the celestial artifact has completely perished and is beyond repair.
Other cultivators who were paying attention to the Immortal Artifact Ranking were even more astonished. They couldn't understand why the Glazed Pure Bottle, which had disappeared for many years, had reappeared in the world and then completely perished in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. What exactly happened during this period?
The sudden fall of a top-grade immortal artifact was a matter of great importance, and news of it quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation continent.
Meanwhile, the people at the center of the incident were still exchanging glances. Wen Wan had no idea of the storm she had stirred up.
"Um... Wh... what happened?" Wen Wan awkwardly pointed to the shattered text on the Immortal Artifact Ranking.
She... she seems to have done something terrible.
The names on the Immortal Artifact Ranking cracked and shattered, seemingly signifying that the immortal artifact would cease to exist...
Wenwan's books weren't read for nothing; now she'd rather have read them for nothing and known nothing at all.
"Lin Zhu..."
Lin Zhu seems to really need this, but she doesn't know why. Ugh, I'm going crazy!
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Upon hearing Lin Zhu's words, Wen Wan felt a surge of insomnia. "Waaah, I'm so glad he's not angry. He even cares about me! This fellow Daoist is someone I can be friends with!"
Everyone knew very well that the item just now was definitely a crystal bottle, and a celestial artifact full of spiritual energy that was undamaged.
Did it just enter Wenwan's body like that?
If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Artifact Ranking showed the demise of the Glazed Pure Bottle, they would have suspected that Wen Wan was the one who had been killed, and that the Glazed Pure Bottle had taken over her body.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
Strangely, Wen Wan was completely unharmed, even full of energy: "I'm fine, I'm great. Even if ten more succubi came, I could still beat them all down."
Immortal artifacts and supreme treasures are also a matter of chance, and it can only be said that Lin Zhu is not destined for this item.
So many purification artifacts were useless, and he didn't have high hopes for the Glazed Purification Bottle either; he just wanted to try it out. Unexpectedly, Wen Wan appeared out of nowhere and intercepted his plans.
So be it.
"The sudden and silent destruction of a top-grade immortal artifact within your body is no small matter. For safety's sake, we must remain silent about what happened today."
Lin Zhu, ever thoughtful, reminded the two of this.
Wen Wan nodded.
Fang Ruo was simple-minded, honest, and valued loyalty, so she readily agreed.
"Fang Ruo, did you gain anything from this trip?"
Wen Wan felt rather embarrassed. Everyone had put in a lot of effort to eliminate the succubus, but Lin Zhu destroyed what he wanted, and Fang Ruo didn't gain anything either. So, only she had earned spirit stones.
Or should we share it?
Wen Pixiu Wan is prepared to reluctantly part with her love.
Fang Ruo scratched his head. In fact, he didn't know if he had gained anything. He could say that he had gained a valuable experience from going down the mountain.
I finally mustered the courage to kill my "master" and get out, but I couldn't help him at all. I should have stayed in the illusion a little longer and studied that game of chess with my "master".
This is the first time I've been away from Xuanji Sect for so long, and I miss home.
His eyes were still somewhat unfocused. After the illusion shattered, all the fragments rushed into his eyes, which were now dry and stinging, and his vision was still strange.
For example, Senior Brother Lin, who was covered in black, looked just like a cultivator who had grown up immersed in demonic energy.
Why is Senior Sister Wen... um... surrounded by a white light?
In short, something was off, but he didn't say anything to avoid worrying the two of them.
"Although I didn't get what I wanted, I was able to see through the illusion and have already grown a lot."
Fang Ruo should keep a good mindset.
He didn't get the opportunity on this trip, which meant he couldn't help his master. He was unwilling to accept this, but he had already tried his best to get it. The opportunity hadn't come yet, and forcing it was useless.
There's still time; he'll surely find other ways.
Wen Wan suggested that once she got the high-grade spirit stones, the three of them should split them equally, but the other two refused.
At this moment, Wen Wan felt as if a warm current was flowing through her entire body, as if it was opening up her Ren and Du meridians, making her feel somewhat hot, as if something had changed in her body.
Looking at the messy room, she suddenly raised her hand and, based on her memory, cast a dust-removing spell. The room instantly became orderly, except for the gruesome corpse.
Fang Ruo found it a bit strange; why was he suddenly using the Dust Removal Technique?
Lin Zhu, however, was quite surprised: "You can use spiritual power now?"
Wen Wan's face lit up with joy: "I suddenly felt warm all over, so I made a hand seal, and I didn't expect it to actually work?"
Am I dreaming?
Wen Wan was still incredulous. Could her spiritual power, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly be usable again?
It's like an ordinary person guarding a mountain of gold for decades, but never being able to get the gold out of it. Then one day, she suddenly discovers that she can take the gold out and squander it.
This feels like a dream.
"Could it be a crystal vase!" Lin Zhu thought for the first time.
For some unknown reason, the crystal bottle sacrificed itself to release Wen Wan from her restraints.
"Boom!" Before the group could discuss further, accompanied by thunder, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, almost tearing the entire sky apart. Even those inside the room could clearly feel the oppressive force of the lightning, which, through the window, resembled a giant silver python attacking them.
"What? A lightning tribulation? What a powerful lineup? Who is about to break through?" Fang Ruo was startled, completely unaware that the target of the lightning tribulation was right in front of her.
The group rushed outside and looked at the lightning tribulation that was still gathering.
A sense of oppression washed over me.
"This...this...a tribulation lightning for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?" Fang Ruo was dumbfounded.
“It doesn’t seem like it.” Lin Zhu shook his head: “It should be a tribulation of lightning that breaks through the Nascent Soul stage and reaches the Spirit Division stage, but its power is probably much greater than that of an ordinary tribulation.”
At this moment, Wen Wan had broken through from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul in one breath, but was stuck in the Nascent Soul stage and could not move for a long time. She knew that this tribulation lightning was aimed at her, and its power was not small.
As long as she successfully withstands the 25 heavenly lightning strikes during her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, she can leapfrog into the Spirit Division stage.
She is already among the top female cultivators.
"Leave here before the lightning tribulation gathers."
Lin Zhu reminded her that this was a county town with a large population, and if the lightning tribulation struck here, it could easily harm innocent people. As he spoke, he took out some defensive talismans and pills from his body. Although he knew that Wen Wan had a lot of these things, who knew how much she had used up during the fight? He said, "Take these things first, and we'll talk about them after we get through the lightning tribulation safely."
"This tribulation is unusual and its power should not be underestimated. You have directly broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and only need to undergo the 25 tribulations required for the Out-of-Body stage. The power of the tribulations you had to undergo in the previous stages will probably be mixed in with this one. You must be careful."
Even if she were incredibly stupid, Fang Ruo would know that this tribulation was aimed at Wen Wan.
He hit it off with the two of them immediately and offered his help without reservation: "Senior Sister Wen, although this is only a mid-level Holy Light Shield, its defensive power is extremely strong and can help you withstand some of the damage."
Wen Wan accepted the small golden bowl that Fang Ruo handed over without hesitation: "Thank you, I will repay you when I come back."
After finishing, he handed several communication talismans that connected him to Wen Ze and the others to Lin Zhu: "I'm leaving now. I'll leave the finishing touches to you guys to contact Wen Ze and handle."
After saying that, he used a teleportation talisman and disappeared from the spot.
When Wen Ze arrived with his group, Lin Zhu explained the whole story.
The Jia family had just finished their wedding when they had to hold a funeral. Jia Yuanwai was even accused of murdering his mother. Jia Jiawei instantly became dejected and lost all joy from his recent marriage.
He knew the monks wouldn't lie to him, and given that his father's death was the succubus's modus operandi, and that the succubus had killed his father to avenge his mother, he was at a loss for what to do.
The authorities found no evidence that his father had murdered his mother, so he pretended not to know. He reasoned that if there was no evidence, it couldn't be true, and perhaps the immortals had also been deceived by the succubus.
Soon, the Jia family received a box, sent by his ex-wife Yulin. Inside was clearly the "diary" of Jia Yuanwai's murder of Madam Jia.
It turns out that Jia Yuanwai was born into poverty, while Jia Madam was a rich girl. The story of a poor boy climbing the social ladder was ridiculed as a "phoenix man". Even after he came to Weiwei County and brought glory to the Jia family, he could not forget those days. So he used a slow poison to kill his wife without anyone knowing. After that, he was filled with remorse and repented every day.
Once, when Yulin was helping Master Jia retrieve something from his study, she discovered a hidden compartment. She was shocked by what she saw. After flipping through the back, she learned that her father was filled with remorse and repented every day. Since she deeply loved Jia Jiawei and did not want anything to happen to the family, she chose to pretend that she knew nothing.
Later, the two got divorced, which made her very angry. She took the opportunity to secretly go to the study and take the things away. She planned to send them to Jia Jiawei after his wedding, believing that this wedding gift would be unforgettable for him.
Unexpectedly, the succubus made her move on their wedding night, revealing the truth ahead of time. This wedding gift became crucial evidence, shattering his last hope.
In his eyes, his father, who had been a great man all his life, was actually the murderer of his most beloved mother. With witnesses and physical evidence, he felt as if his soul had been ripped out, and he was utterly disheartened.
With a deafening roar, a thunderclap struck the distant, majestic mountains, its sound echoing through the sky. Even from a great distance, the group of people were still shocked by the commotion.
