Human tribulation is the most unpredictable.
There was once a cultivator who, in order to avoid the human tribulation, stayed within the mountain gate, attempting to use its protective array to evade the tribulation.
But one day, after ten years, he died quietly, perishing within an illusion of the Heavenly Dao. The human tribulation is extrely dangerous, with countless unparalleled geniuses having died within it.
Yet once the human tribulation is overco, the benefits are enormous.
Recalling the scene in the illusion realm where the fierce battle with Ziyun Xiao took place, it was truly a situation of nine deaths and one life. But after killing Ziyun Xiao, not only was an old grudge avenged, but his mories and destiny were also seized.
The mories of a Divine Transformation cultivator are a great treasure, helping her avoid major pitfalls on the path ahead; the destiny of a Divine Transformation cultivator is extrely potent and was all granted to her.
Such an opportunity is hard to co by even in a thousand years.
Firstly, Divine Transformation powerhouses are the authoritative figures of their regions, possessing top-tier connections and strength. Without a proper reason, even a Void Refining powerhouse cannot make a move against a Divine Transformation.
Even if they do, Divine Transformation powerhouses have their own life-saving thods, making them hard to kill.
But within the illusion realm, the possibility of escape is cut off.
Secondly, Jin Xi was rely at the first layer of Nascent Soul and needed to cultivate arduously for a thousand years to step into Divine Transformation. Even then, he might not be able to kill Ziyun Xiao.
During this thousand-year span, Ziyun Xiao would also be progressing, possibly becoming even stronger. But in the illusion realm, Jin Xi’s cultivation was forcefully elevated to the second layer of Divine Transformation, and in this "fair" environnt, he killed Ziyun Xiao.
Indeed, only in such a unique environnt could a first-layer Nascent Soul kill a second-layer Divine Transformation.
Jin Xi recounts what transpired in the illusion realm, saying only that a Divine Transformation cultivator was killed. As for the na and background of this Divine Transformation, he chooses to remain silent and omit details.
A subtle intuition tells her that uttering that person’s na would bring about a great calamity.
Lu Xuanji nods, not probing further.
Yet in his perception, Jin Xi’s cultivation and destiny are rising.
"Congratulations on stepping into Nascent Soul!"
Lu Xuanji says with a smile.
"Nascent Soul is just the beginning. I dare not claim to beco immortal, but I have so confidence in becoming a Divine Transformation." Jin Xi replies smilingly.
"That’s good. My support is now more solid!"
Lu Xuanji chuckles.
"Let’s return now!"
"No, once we’re on Sword Island, there’s a chance to loot so treasures!" Jin Xi says, excitent evident on his face.
"I doubt there’s hope, for I’ve searched here for ages and found nothing!" Lu Xuanji says, "But I hope you’re luckier!"
Jin Xi, unconvinced, begins searching Sword Island for treasures.
After five years of searching, it all remains empty.
Everything is gone, nothing remains.
On Sword Island, many arrays are fracturing, and the Void Continent is also breaking. It’s estimated that, at most, within ten thousand more years, this island will be swallowed by chaotic void currents, completely shattering into dust, dispersing into the heavens and earth.
After failing to find treasures, Jin Xi starts a retreat on Sword Island, comprehending and summarizing, managing so mories and insights, and streamlining cultivation.
On Sword Island, only the two of them exist.
Initially, they maintained courtesy towards each other, but as ti went by, their relationship grew closer, affection blossod continuously, and they tasted all manner of flavors, frequently leaning on each other, just a step away from complete intimacy.
Several tis, Lu Xuanji could scarcely hold back, only to be stopped by Jin Xi.
Because the cultivation gap was too large, one at the sixth layer of Purple Mansion, the other at the first layer of Nascent Soul, unable to break through the defense. Forcing intimacy would be of no consequence to Jin Xi, but Lu Xuanji would suffer damage to his primordial qi.
...
Ti is slipping by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lu Xuanji’s cultivation is changing, stepping into the seventh layer of the Purple Mansion.
Counting on his fingers, he realizes he is three hundred and twenty years old.
"Xi’Er, I miss ho; I miss the Grand Elder; I miss..." Lu Xuanji says.
"I really want to be with you like this, forever!"
Jin Xi leans against him, inhaling his scent, listening to his heartbeat, a faint sadness crossing her voice: "But we should still go back!"
"Alright!"
Lu Xuanji nods in agreent.
Summoning the Pure Yang Order, after ten breaths, the two vanish.
Reappearing, they find themselves in that small town, within that courtyard.
Holding fingers together, Jin Xi says, "Why don’t you co live with ?"
Lu Xuanji assertively replies, "Impossible, how could I, Lu Xuanji, rely on soone else to live!"
"Perhaps I should live there?"
Jin Xi suggests.
"Ahem, no!" Lu Xuanji responds, "We need to keep our relationship secret!"
"Got it, I won’t disrupt your little darling wife!"
Jin Xi says.
Saying this, she steps forward and kisses him once more.
Reluctantly, Jin Xi leaves.
Lu Xuanji nods, then disappears on his flying sword too.
"He’s back to the Lu Family again, eting his little darling wife... Ye Wanyi is his wife, and what about ?" Gazing into the distance, a tinge of jealousy flashes in Jin Xi’s eyes.
She knows in Lu Xuanji’s heart, there are other won and so people he’s attached to.
Yet she doesn’t care.
How could a Phoenix be jealous of a Sparrow, or an Azure Dragon bothered by a grass snake?
Would she compete with those won for favor, engage in palace intrigue?
No need, and it’s unnecessary!
As ti passes, decades later, centuries later, those female cultivators will turn to dust; only she can remain by his side, pursuing the Great Dao together.
Why be jealous? There’s no need.
But the slight attachnt in Lu Xuanji’s heart causes a touch of jealousy and awkwardness to surface within her.
"I still can’t be magnanimous; I overestimated my ntal realm, thinking it to be as unshakable as stone... but I overestimated myself!"
Jin Xi smiles bitterly, her heart filled with indescribable bitterness, and a faint sorrows.
...
"Xi’Er can be a bit clinging!"
Lu Xuanji muses, feeling a slight headache.
Can’t think about it, don’t want to think about it.
Thinking too much damages the relationship.
The flying sword flickers, in half an hour he’ll arrive back at the Lu Family.
Activating the token, Lu Xuanji quietly enters the cave mansion.
At this ti, in the eyes of many Lu Family cultivators, the clan leader is in "seclusion."
Inside the cave mansion, a layer of dust has already gathered.
He cleans the dust, tidies the cave mansion, making everything spotless, then opens the cave mansion, feeling the sunlight outside. The cultivator guarding the cave entrance rubs his eyes, realizing this is no illusion, imdiately stepping forward to pay respects: "Greetings, Clan Leader!"
"Is all well with the Lu Family?"
Lu Xuanji asks.
"The Lu Family is well!"
The cultivator replies.
Soon, the bell tolls.
The Lu Family cultivators gather in the hall, greeting the clan leader.
Among the cultivators, he sees the figure of Ye Wanyi.
Lu Xuanji inquires about the clan’s situation, elders coming forward one after another to report.
An hour later, the eting concludes, and everyone disperses.
At this mont, Ye Wanyi approaches and says, "Husband, are you well?"
"I am well!" Lu Xuanji says.
Ye Wanyi calls, "Xian’er, Fan’er, greet your father!"
A young man in green and a young man in black kneel on the ground, paying respects: "Child, greetings to Father!"
