As for the bottleneck?
It simply didn’t exist for Ruan Tang, and neither the Golden Core Tribulation nor the Nascent Soul Tribulation ca.
Situations where heavenly tribulations ’disappear’ are actually not uncommon.
For example, Xu Yiyi’s thirteen-colored tribulation during her Golden Core stage was driven away by Xu Lai with a shout, planning to accumulate it for the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Although the power would double, once successfully passed, the Heavenly Dao Laws would compensate the tribulation passer more significantly; the risks and rewards are proportional.
Of course.
Ruan Tang didn’t understand cultivation well and wasn’t too troubled by the absence of a heavenly tribulation.
"Mama, has Daddy bullied you lately?"
Xu Yiyi blinked her big watery eyes and seriously said, "If he did, I’ll teach him a lesson for you."
Ruan Tang chuckled, "How could he bully ?"
"But in Chang’an City, when Auntie was chatting with other aunties, one of them said her husband would bully her when she was pregnant, and she covered her face and wouldn’t let see her sad expression."
"... Yiyi, the bullying that auntie ntioned is probably not the kind you think."
"Then what is it?"
"This..."
Ruan Tang looked at her daughter’s pure, naive big eyes and couldn’t bring herself to explain.
She changed the topic, "Mama is a bit thirsty, can you help get a glass of water, Yiyi?"
"Okay."
Yiyi jumped off the bed, wearing cute little bunny pajamas with a fluffy little tail, and as she ran to the door, she rembered she wasn’t wearing slippers and playfully stuck out her tongue at her mom.
Ruan Tang gently rubbed her belly, lost in thought, wondering if the child inside would be as well-behaved as Yiyi in the future.
As if responding to her mother’s question, the belly received a strong kick.
Even at her current Nascent Soul Realm, Ruan Tang still grimaced in pain as the little one inside kicked again several tis.
Yiyi brought the water over, her soft white hand gently placed on Ruan Tang’s belly, and she said seriously:
"No kicking Mama, or I’ll spank your bottom, little sibling."
"..."
Whether it was due to the threat from her older sister or so other reason, the little one inside gradually cald down.
Ruan Tang hugged her daughter, gently saying, "Yiyi is amazing, protecting Mama."
"When I grow up, I want to be like Daddy, a strong and reliable man," Xu Yiyi declared confidently.
Ruan Tang smiled contentedly.
That night, she finally had a restful sleep.
So much so that when she woke up, Ruan Tang didn’t know when her daughter had gotten up and left.
Downstairs, her senior sister was also not there.
On the table in the living room, there was a note with a line of elegant small handwriting: ’I went out with Yiyi to have a look around.’
There was a signature at the bottom—Yu.
Ruan Tang paused at the door of the Refinent Workshop but didn’t stop to disturb Xu Lai; instead, she changed her clothes and headed to the company.
With only two months left until the year-end, the new autumn-winter fashion items were already online. Ruan Tang planned to arrange all the work now.
That way, she could fully accompany her family during the New Year and then prepare to welco the birth of her second child afterward.
...
...
Ti passed unconsciously.
And the uproar caused in the Immortal Domain by the death of Ji Family’s Celestial Venerable and Immortal Venerable seven days ago still hasn’t subsided, but rather continued to intensify.
Various versions of rumors erged.
So said The Supre Emperor planned to lead the Heavenly Court to flatten the major Holy Lands and Tao Lineages of the Immortal Domain, while others claid the thirty-plus Immortal Venerables who died were traitors of the Human Race.
The most outlandish rumor was that the dead Immortal Venerables were all The Supre Emperor’s old flas, whom he wielded a sword to cut off in order to please a new love interest...
There were rumors targeting the Heavenly Court.
And so took the opportunity to sar other Immortal Domain forces.
This left the cultivators of the Four Immortal Domains, already worried due to the Heavenly Court’s large-scale recruitnt and training, in a state of panic, feeling as if doomsday was approaching, with sothing big seemingly about to happen.
However, both the Heavenly Court and other top Tao Lineages remained silent.
While ordinary forces were unclear about the situation, these ancient lineages knew where the dead Celestial Venerable and Immortal Venerables ca from.
"The Ji Family of the Nine Kings’ Palace has erged."
"The Supre Emperor faced the Nine Kings’ Palace head-on, yet nothing happened, even when they lost two Quasi-Emperors!"
"Did an Emperor Realm really perish before the Nine Kings’ Palace back in the day? Why is the family guarding the forbidden ground retreating?"
"..."
Many questions arose in the hearts of the Holy Masters of various Tao Lineages.
Of course.
This doubt is destined to be buried in their hearts, as neither the Nine Kings’ Palace nor the Heavenly Court would answer them.
They only gradually sensed that there was sothing different about the Immortal Domain, although they couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed.
Located on the very edge of the Eastern Immortal Domain’s Solar System.
The Moon.
Chang’an City.
After the battle seven days ago, there were significant casualties among Earthly cultivators and demon cultivators, but compared to the heavy casualties of the Moon Clan, it seed insignificant.
Seven days have passed.
The Defensive Array was completely repaired; with Sister Qi’s help, Ruan Lan even reinforced the main defensive Starlight Array.
The damaged parts of the city were restored, and although there was still sadness within the city, there was a stronger sense of indescribable excitent.
The Moon Clan’s strongest offensive had been withstood; what else did they have to fear!
The confidence lasted only briefly.
An elderly man at the Golden Core stage sighed, "I wonder what the origin of that Six-Ard Golden Body Dharma Image is, it’s truly terrifying."
"Gulp."
Recalling the fear experienced not long ago, both Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators subconsciously had flickering glances.
In front of that massive Six-Ard Dharma Realm Golden Body, they felt like a re speck of dust, with the tremors in their souls still vivid in mory.
Fear.
Writ large on everyone’s faces.
The newly gathered confidence and fighting spirit instantly vanished, as pessimism shrouded the city.
If that Dharma Image attacked Chang’an, how long could they hold?
Probably not even a single breath.
"Relax."
Ruan Tang suddenly patted her chest, mysteriously saying, "Let tell you a secret, that Golden Body is actually an expert I invited."
"Daoist Ruan, is this true?"
Chen Feihe was shocked, and the other Nascent Soul experts watched in disbelief.
"Of course."
Ruan Lan’s face remained composed, "Otherwise, why do you think there were little to no injuries on our side when the oppressive pressure descended, and at least sixty to seventy percent of the Moon Clan army suffered casualties?"
"Hiss, indeed that’s the case."
"Fairy Ruan’s network is truly terrifying."
"Thanks to the senior for lending a helping hand, and thanks to Fairy Ruan for inviting powerful reinforcents!"
Everyone started to praise, looking at Ruan Lan with a gaze of admiration that had turned into reverence.
"Fairy sister, is it true?"
Among the crowd, only a freckle-faced, plain-looking young girl asked in confusion.
She was Zhang Suzi, the most friendly with Ruan Lan and Xu Yiyi among the female cultivators in Chang’an City.
Living together for the past month, and interacting daily, Zhang Suzi naturally understood Ruan Lan’s nature.
Ruan Lan blinked, smiled silently, and said nothing.
"..."
