Chapter 91 I'm a Nascent Soul
Then I paid the price for what I said.
Ling Ye looked at me gently and said, "Since Alua is a little genius, why don't you have a sparring match with me?"
I felt a chill on my back.
Ling Ye stood there waiting for me to attack first, but before my spiritual power could touch him, everything collapsed, and he didn't even move his hands.
"Since you are a cultivator, you must remember to communicate with heaven and earth—"
He stretched out a finger, and I felt the space and aura around me change. The space turned into an invisible shackle that imprisoned me. Only then did I realize that my actual combat skills might not be worth mentioning in the world of cultivation.
[No, no, no, host, there are only a few people who can master the technology of confining space.]
"Why don't you try it?"
He asked.
ah?
I?
I can’t—that’s not right.
I've felt it when I was forming a pill. It was a completely different feeling from becoming stronger in the previous world. I attracted the spiritual energy in the air and then absorbed it into my body.
There was a tremor and fluctuation, and I felt my eyes blur. The whole world looked different in my eyes. Threads of spiritual power connected to everyone, and then my gaze was forcibly drawn to a certain place -
This is an indescribable place, with the stars of the universe placed in it, and no boundaries can be seen. Just one look at it and I was ejected.
[…Did you hear that?]
Um? ?
What sound??
What are you doing to me?!
[…Ahem, this is the incarnation of Party A’s father.]
[Why did you only hear my voice now...]
…
No, it's so sudden?!
I have never met the client’s father before, right?
What incarnation? This is the way of heaven, right?!
I couldn't tell whether Party A's father's voice was male or female, but I had a strange feeling that he was complaining.
[Don't you want me to give you... a cheat code?]
He continued speaking, and then the scene in front of me returned to normal, except that there were a few more spots of light around Ling Ye.
I stretched out my hand and touched those spots of light, as if I had traveled through time and space. Ling Ye was clearly very far away from me, but he was within my reach.
His expression froze, and I locked the space around him.
——What an awesome golden finger, Dad!
【Host, I am happy again.】
The surrounding light spots also disappeared.
[Next time you need anything, just call me.]
These words remained in my mind for the last time, and then I fell silent.
Ling Ye stood there, looking at me with admiration. If it weren't for the exaggerated expression that was inconsistent with Ling Ye's personality, I suspect he would have laughed out loud.
…It’s just a feeling.
From now on, I can now clearly sense the movements of the world around me, and can communicate with heaven and earth in a single thought.
The client really gave me a green channel.
Ling Ye walked towards me quickly and put his hands on my eyes. "Close your eyes."
I closed my eyes when I heard that, and a cold aura covered my eyes. Then his hand left my eyes, and I opened my eyes again, and the world in front of me returned to normal.
There was no more faint sound in my ears.
"If you continue to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, your body will not be able to sustain it within three days."
He took two steps back and put some distance between him and me.
"You really don't need to practice swordsmanship. Your talent lies here."
He looked at me with an expression of joy and harvest, as if I were a big potato growing healthily in the field.
...Master, your character has collapsed!
"Brother, your eyes were golden just now--" Liu Hong ran over and grabbed my hand nervously. I didn't let go. I didn't know what I looked like just now, and I was scared to death by this kid.
This kid used to be a naughty kid, but he seems to have changed since he climbed up the Dengxiantai.
——What on earth did he see in that illusion that actually became his inner demon?
Then every now and then I would get startled.
I thought I wouldn’t die.
Now I have the client's father protecting me.
I stroked his head.
Then there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and clouds gathered around our heads.
Ling Ye frowned and pulled Liu Hong behind him. At the same time, he waved his hand and cast a shield on the others.
I:?
What about me?
[…Host, you are about to break through! ! ! ]
Huh? Who? Me?
"Aluan, hold your breath and concentrate. I will help you block the last thunderbolt. Don't worry."
Ling Ye's voice came over, and I looked up at the thunderclouds gathering in the sky.
Haha——No, this is too sudden.
Isn't it said that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is difficult?!
How come suddenly...
I said fighting is useful.
No, no, no... I don't think this has anything to do with fighting. Villar, don't let your brain turn back to that of a larva—
【Do you feel the love from Party A’s father? 】
Thanks, Dad. I didn't prepare anything.
Looking at the calamity clouds above his head with tears in his eyes, he subconsciously mobilized the spiritual energy in his body. The color of the calamity clouds above became darker and darker, almost turning black.
Ninety-nine disasters cloud.
Nine is the extreme number. This is the most extreme thunder tribulation, the most severe strike, and the more benefits in the end -
Good, good, what a deep love.
Who is the protagonist?!
When the first bolt of lightning struck, I felt my internal organs shifted, and there was a burning smell on my body. The simple restrictions on my Chongguang Sect disciple robe were directly shattered, and a charred black color appeared on the white robe.
Everything—my all-attribute experience voucher!
Use it quickly.
[Okay, full attribute experience coupon (33 days and one hour), use it.]
In just a moment, my attributes that were forced to be halved due to the punishment were maxed out. Now my physical attributes are on par with Liu Hong, and then in just a moment, the second lightning struck down.
It was louder than the first one. A water shield protected me, but it was struck by lightning in an instant, and I felt my whole body paralyzed.
Water conducts electricity!
Is there no one in the cultivation world who talks to the water cultivators about this issue?
I feel so numb now that I can perform some electronic music live.
If my attributes hadn't been fully restored, I would have fainted on the spot.
...both the face and the substance are lost.
…
"Master, my brother..." Liu Hong looked at Liu Luan who was standing under the thunder tribulation not far away. He was dressed in white, holding nothing in his hands, staring at the sky with an expressionless face.
Those water-blue eyes were faintly golden, as if the thunder in the sky could not change his expression in the slightest.
For a moment, he looked very similar to Ling Ye, like a real banished immortal.
It came again, that feeling that Liu Luan was about to leave him.
Ever since they embarked on the path of cultivation, their spiritual roots were activated and their attributes became different. Their originally identical faces became different. Liu Luan's eyes turned aqua blue, and his eyes turned orange-red.
That was the first time he realized that he and Liu Luan were two different people.
His cultivation had always been slightly higher than Liu Luan's, so he knew his brother would always be behind him—until he came here.
From the moment he ascended the Immortal Platform, Liu Luan slowly left him behind.
Liu Luan, his brother, had he always given in to him in the past?
Liu Hong suddenly felt sad. He was crushed silently and powerfully by his brother, whom he had always thought was weaker than him. In addition to sadness, he also felt a little embarrassed about his past.
Wasn't his arrogance as a child ridiculous in Liu Luan's eyes?
This is not Liuming Sect, Liuluan's world is no longer just him and his mother.
He is now the eldest brother of the Chongguang Sect - so he has to stand in front of everyone, not just behind him, and he doesn't need to hide his edge for his younger brother's pitiful self-esteem.
Liu Luan is no longer just Liu Hong's brother.
Liu Hong had never understood this matter so clearly.
"Ah Hong, don't be affected by the thunder tribulation." Ling Ye placed his hand on Liu Hong's head. "Your personality is different from A Luan's. It's probably because A Luan protected you too well—"
"It's not his fault, and it's not your fault."
Ling Ye watched as Liu Luan's eyes slowly filled with golden light and sighed.
"Aluan and you are both children watched over by the heavens, but Aluan has had it harder."
"Those who accept the destiny of heaven will always have to pay more. This is his fate. So, don't be too obsessed with your brother. Once he embarks on this path, there is no turning back."
"Your inner demons are almost uncontrollable."
Ling Ye placed a bead in Liu Hong's hand. "Our relationship as master and disciple isn't deep, but since you called me Master, I feel a responsibility towards you. This is the Lingshuang Pearl, which can suppress your inner demons."
"If you can't figure it out yourself, then... our relationship as master and disciple is over."
Liu Hong took the bead and held it in his palm. The cool touch spread in his palm. He looked at Liu Luan, who had survived six thunder tribulations. Although his body was torn and tattered, his expression remained unchanged, and he even looked at ease.
He began to recall vaguely, as if it was the same in the past. Liu Luan was able to do everything with ease. They were twins, but Liu Luan looked more mature than Liu Yuan.
Why did he find out only now?
Why did he realize it only now?
So what is his inner demon?
It’s Liu Luan.
Is he afraid that Liu Luan will surpass him?
No.
Are you unwilling?
No.
Liu Luan left.
Liu Luan is dead.
It’s Liu Luan…she doesn’t want him anymore.
It was he who discovered that Liu Luan treated him no differently than she treated others.
Just like the way of heaven, all beings are equal.
No more preference for him.
…
This thunderstorm is almost numbing my brain.
[You...shouldn't be that weak?]
The voice of heaven rang in my ears again.
Party A's father shouldn't keep an eye on me at a time like this, right?!
The threads in my eyes increased with the number of thunder tribulations, and the golden elixir in my body was gradually turning into the appearance of a Nascent Soul.
【Xiaoyu, let me out. 】
My head was numb, and I subconsciously moved my fingertips slightly. Veral instantly appeared above my head. The turquoise phoenix grew from the size of a palm to several meters long, with long tail feathers dragging at its tail, flashing with colorful light.
But I took a closer look.
The tail feathers seem to be woven from tiny tentacles—is this what you mean by the tentacles turning green, Veraer?!
Can't look closely.
He stood in front of me, and the next thunderbolt struck him. With a sharp whistling sound, a lot of his feathers were chopped off, mixed with blood and flesh, but new ones grew out in an instant. The feathers were sharper and the light on them was brighter.
Villar is entering adulthood fully.
But because he blocked most of the thunder, this thunder tribulation did not cause much harm to me.
[…It feels numb, like I've been on an electric chair, but my mind feels clearer now.]
【Go host! Go local specialties!】
There are three people in this family, and one of them was not invited to the Thunder Tribulation Party. Guess who it is?
【……】
The next thunderbolt struck again. This was the eighth thunderbolt. Ling Ye said that he would block the last one, so this was the last one for me.
I pulled out the white jade flute from my waist. This jade flute was found for me by Liu Yuan from the warehouse. It was the only top-grade magic weapon of Liuming Sect that I could use.
For this purpose, I even spent several years learning how to play the flute.
With a few hand gestures, the white jade flute in my hand turned into a stream of light and was thrown into the air, floating in the air. The eighth lightning struck the white jade flute.
The eighth thunder tribulation is already so powerful that it can split the sky. I’m really worried that my flute will break here.
The purple lightning struck Veral and me. Even though it was filtered by the white jade flute, I felt like a layer of skin had fallen off my body.
I don’t even dare to imagine what I look like now. My entire body feels burnt.
Veraer's tail hair is gone and I feel like I'm bald now.
...That's great, we all have a bright future.
When the last thunder tribulation was brewing, Ling Ye's figure had already appeared above me.
"Protect yourself."
He threw down these words, and a lamp appeared in his hand.
Before the last thunderbolt came out, the dark clouds above were so dark that they seemed to be able to drip out of ink. The area within a radius of ten miles was filled with black clouds, and the thunderbolts that reached the sky condensed into a thick purple light.
Ling Ye looked at it silently.
At the moment the purple light struck, the lamp in his hand lit up.
The purple light was instantly bounced back, splitting the calamity clouds, and the purple light fragments in the sky slowly fell down and gathered on my body.
The golden elixir also officially turned into the shape of a little man, and if you look closely, he looks exactly like me.
Then a beam of golden light descended from the sky, covering me and repairing the injuries on Verard and me.
The charred layers are peeling off, cleansing my bones and marrow, and I feel like my body has been completely replaced.
Sweep away fatigue.
Then he touched my head.
…Great, I’m bald.
I’m bald!!!
