Mount Mu. Wild winds stirred the tribulation clouds.
Other cultivators would usually hide far away when they saw someone undergoing a tribulation.
Yet, the few individuals standing at the foot of Mount Mu remained right beneath the center of the storm, untouched by the tribulation light.
Zhang Mingyuan was still turning Su Jinxue's previous words over in his mind.
“Would your heart ache?”
What did that mean? Why would his heart ache for another woman?
“Speak!”
He suddenly snapped out of it and looked at Su Jinxue. Her face wore a playful yet slightly sour expression.
He knew all too well that any further explanation would only sound hollow.
He walked over, cupped Su Jinxue's fair face with both hands, and squeezed her rosy lips into an “O” shape.
Before the soft warmth in his hands could even react, he pressed his lips against hers.
!
Upon witnessing this scene, Lingxuzi and Bai Lumian immediately covered their eyes, stabbing this damn fellow a thousand times in their hearts once more.
Only after a long while did he let her go.
“My lady, don't say such strange things to your husband. Out of all the vast waters, I only seek a single scoop to drink!”
“We have undergone the Heavenly Marriage. With heaven and earth as our witness and the Great Dao's recognition, I, Zhang Mingyuan, will love only you in this lifetime!”
“If you say such things to your husband again, then I'll have to...”
As he spoke, he raised his finger, the laws of annihilation flickering subtly at his fingertip.
Seeing this, Su Jinxue's face instantly flushed red.
“Zhang Mingyuan!”
“Hehehe, a disobedient wife must be punished very, very, very severely!”
“Whom are you going to punish?”
“Ow, ow, ow! Don't pinch my ear! It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts!”
“Family, a major breaking news scoop from 《Secrets of the Immortal Sects》! Immortal Lord Zhang made an affectionate confession and threatened Immortal Lord Su, only for Immortal Lord Su to turn the tables and pinch his ear! It seems Immortal Lord Zhang's household status can only rank below his lady wife's!”
The Heavenly Dao held the latest model of the Tianyuan 108th Generation, recording all of this while speaking with the full flavor of an internet netizen.
“Holy crap, old geezer, what the hell are you doing?!”
“Why are you recording everything? If you dare post this clip, I'm going to the Heavenly Dao space right now to chop your Divine Wheel to pieces!”
As he spoke, Zhang Mingyuan had already pulled out the Dog Slaughterer, its eerie red glow seemingly thirsting for immortal blood.
Su Jinxue was also embarrassed and annoyed. “Yes, let's chop the Heavenly Dao down and move to another world to live.”
The Heavenly Dao's soul almost flew out of His body in fright.
“Don't, don't, don't! Worthy Brother, Sister-in-law, I was wrong! I'll delete the video right now!”
Lingxuzi and Bai Lumian exchanged glances, their lips twitching uncontrollably.
It wasn't that they had never witnessed the Heavenly Dao's will before. As Mahayana cultivators, they had felt the majestic might of the Heavenly Dao when undergoing their Mahayana tribulations.
But they had never imagined that the avatar of such an incredibly overbearing, supreme existence would turn out to be so utterly shameless...
Above Mount Mu, beneath the tribulation clouds.
The figure in purple stood suspended in midair.
Flowers bloomed and withered around her as Dao laws surged in and out.
The lightning startled her celestial face, yet the tribulation clouds could not hide her peerless beauty.
She was a true immortal of peerless disillusionment, undoubtedly of the absolute finest caliber in the Xuanling Realm.
Right at this moment, she sensed the commotion below and immediately looked down.
Her purple eyes pierced through the layers of lightning, precisely locking onto the positions of the group below.
The white-robed Mahayana expert whose surrounding space distorted, the devastatingly beautiful woman with medical and poison arts flickering around her, the supreme avatar woven from laws and Dao charm, and the red-robed immortal who had attained her Dao through frost and samsara—
None of them caught her eye.
Her gaze locked firmly onto Zhang Mingyuan.
“Brother Mingyuan!” She was both shocked and delighted.
She was shocked because she feared the immortal tribulation might harm Zhang Mingyuan, and delighted because her Brother Mingyuan had actually come to see her!
From the looks of it, her Brother Mingyuan had actually attained the Dao and become an immortal before her!
However...
Only now did she notice Su Jinxue standing to the side.
Brother Mingyuan had clearly already become an immortal, so why was he still staying with this woman?
But there was no time to overthink things right now. The fact that Brother Mingyuan had come to see her proved that he had her in his heart!
This was already wonderful!
It showed that he cared about her. All his countless rejections in the past were just this man being stubborn and embarrassed!
Once she attained the Dao and became an immortal this time, she would snatch Brother Mingyuan back from that woman!
Boom!
At that moment, the first wave of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning crashed down.
The electrical current resembled a wild, violet-grade python, slamming down directly from above!
Whenever a cultivator underwent a tribulation, they had to face nine levels of immortal tribulations, within which were nine levels of immortal lightning.
This was the origin of the Nine-Nine Immortal Tribulation.
Looking at that first bolt of immortal lightning, it targeted the mortal bones and physical impurities.
The woman in purple endured it without any injuries.
This proved that her physical body and bones were already clean and unblemished.
In the sky above, the second bolt of immortal lightning began to brew.
Nine days later, the second bolt struck!
This bolt targeted clogged meridians and impure blood.
The woman in purple endured it unharmed.
Another nine days later, the third bolt of immortal lightning struck.
This bolt targeted the mortal bloodline and impurities within the essence blood.
The fourth bolt of immortal lightning.
It targeted scattered stray thoughts and impurities within the soul of the sea of consciousness.
The fifth bolt of immortal lightning.
This one targeted the obsessions of the seven emotions and the illusions of inner demons.
Instead of choosing to accept the baptism of the lightning, the woman in purple chose to head-on resist the immortal lightning with her Dao-attaining method!
Boom!
The lightning, capable of destroying everything, collided with the power of the laws of disillusionment. It kicked up boundless waves of air, shattering clouds, shaking mountains, and draining the heavens and earth of color.
Once the white light dispersed, the woman in purple was already scorched, her hair in disarray, and her long gown torn.
The sixth bolt of immortal lightning targeted incomplete Dao marks and an unstable Dao foundation.
The seventh bolt of immortal lightning targeted the karmic barriers of good and evil, as well as karmic debt lines.
The eighth bolt of immortal lightning targeted the innate mortal fate and the shackles of lifespan.
By the time of the ninth bolt of immortal lightning, its might could no longer be compared to the previous eight.
Before the immortal lightning could even strike, the heavens had already lost all their luster. The sun and moon vanished, and the stars collapsed.
Every sound of wind and flowing water ceased completely.
This bolt of immortal lightning represented the barrier between the immortal and mortal Great Dao. It required the tribulation-transcender to pour out all of their own origin laws to attain the Dao, demonstrating that they were worthy of crossing this immortal-mortal chasm!
The vanity of heaven and earth faded away as the Dao runes returned to one.
The laws manifested clearly, suspended in the void.
Purple disillusionment haze spanned across the horizon, and the essence of the five poles' earth veins soared into the sky.
Life and death, illusion and reality—the two extreme Dao charms cycled and evolved between heaven and earth.
Cloaking herself in the laws of disillusionment, the woman in purple soared into the sky, violently colliding with the nine-poles immortal lightning.
A silent, colossal force swept in all directions, turning heaven and earth upside down and suspending mountains and rivers in the air!
The ever-changing laws of disillusionment slowly dismantled the immortal lightning bit by bit.
Just as she was about to completely wear down the lightning and obtain the qualification to enter the Gate of Ascension—
Her strength faltered slightly.
As a result, the immortal lightning surged straight down, piercing right through her.
Its momentum did not decrease in the slightest as it continued down into the Central Plains, blasting a mountain range spanning ten thousand miles into absolute nothingness.
“Holy crap!”
At the foot of Mount Mu, Zhang Mingyuan was thoroughly shocked by the sight.
“Incredible...”
Rain began to pour from the sky, as if the heavens themselves were weeping.
Standing beside the group, the Heavenly Dao wiped away His tears, which fell like rain.
“Alas, what a fine talent! To think she would fall like this! If she hadn't exhausted her energy to resist the fifth bolt of immortal lightning head-on, she would have definitely passed this tribulation!”
The seeker of immortality perished, and the one who defied the Dao met her end.
An overwhelming sorrow arose.
None of them spoke. Their eyes reflected the figure in purple falling from the high heavens, looking like fading haze, or a withered flower.
“No, that's wrong!”
Zhang Mingyuan suddenly slapped his thigh and cried out.
