Chapter 67
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words in the scene, Elder Qingxue couldn’t help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood. “In just a few years, he’s reached the Dao Fusion realm?!”
What kind of cultivation speed is that—!!!
Yu Ling’er also looked puzzled…
She had spent decades becoming an immortal in her previous life and thought herself quite exceptional. But there was Ye Xuan, not in any famous mountains or blessed lands, just cultivating in a mundane courtyard for a few years, and he’s already at the Dao Fusion realm.
And now about to undergo tribulation?!! It’s too exaggerated—!!! What exactly is Ye Xuan’s spiritual root?”
Curious, Yu Ling’er asked Elder Qingxue, “When you went to seek revenge on Ye Xuan, what was your cultivation level?”
Elder Qingxue replied, “My cultivation progressed slowly at first. At that time, I was just in the Object Manipulation realm, barely stepping into the path of cultivation…”
“I thought I had a chance against Ye Xuan, but he was much stronger than I expected… I assumed he was at most in the Spirit Insight realm, but he had already reached the Dao Fusion realm—!!! The gap between us was so vast.”
“He’s so powerful…” Yu Ling’er sighed in relief and said, “Then it seems, Elder Qingxue, you had no chance of taking revenge on him.”
However, Elder Qingxue shook her head and responded, “No, actually… I killed him.”
Shocked, Yu Ling’er blurted out, “Elder, you mean… Ye Xuan died by your hand? How could this be? Did he let you win? Didn’t he explain anything?!”
“No, he didn’t let me win, nor did he get a chance to explain. Although my cultivation was inferior to his at that time, my achievements later on were no less than his,” Elder Qingxue said.
“You don’t know, but after I embarked on the path of cultivation, I continuously encountered fortuitous events… Cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and rare resources, I frequently stumbled upon them. The later Ye Xuan, no matter how powerful, was no match for me.”
“A series of fortuitous events?” Yu Ling’er was astounded. “Could it be, Elder Qingxue, that you are one of those fabled people with a destiny ordained by the heavens?”
Some believe that certain people in this world are born with a destiny. The heavens need them to fulfill specific missions, so to ensure they grow powerful enough to complete these missions, they encounter opportunities unimaginable to others, rapidly enhancing their abilities.
“Perhaps so,” Elder Qingxue said with a hint of pride. “Though I regret what I did to Ye Xuan, the fact is, even if he was that powerful, I achieved even greater heights through my fortuitous encounters…”
Hearing about Elder Qingxue’s later achievements surpassing Ye Xuan’s, Yu Ling’er felt inexplicably unhappy. She believed Ye Xuan’s cultivation progress was already terrifying; he could be chased, but not surpassed.
Yet, as Elder Qingxue said, if that was the reality, what could she say? In some people’s hearts, there are always incredibly powerful figures, whether they be peerless talents or great emperors. They are indeed formidable and admirable in their stories.
However, perhaps when they enter someone else’s story, they become just a minor character with insignificant strength. Just like Ye Xuan now, his speed of cultivating immortality is already terrifying.
Those who are enemies with Ye Xuan would probably despair at his cultivation speed. However, the reality is…
No matter how fast Ye Xuan cultivates, he was easily caught up by Mo Qingxue. In Mo Qingxue’s script, Ye Xuan is the villain, and it’s impossible for him to be more powerful than Mo Qingxue.
Otherwise, what would be the significance of Mo Qingxue as the heroine? So, when talking about this, Mo Qingxue still feels somewhat proud.
However, her mood is still heavy. After all, because her strength was so great, Ye Xuan wasn’t her opponent, and he had no chance to explain. To put it bluntly, the stronger her power, the greater the harm she caused to Ye Xuan…
As the two women were talking, Ye Xuan curled his lips into a smile. In your script, I am indeed not your opponent. Unfortunately, your destiny has already ended. What you are watching now, is my script!!!
———
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. It seemed like his time to transcend tribulation was approaching. It’s not bad to experience transcending tribulation in advance – this is a free experience that ordinary people don’t get on their first try.
However, thanks to the system’s script, he could experience transcending tribulation. The benefits of the script are indeed many. He regretted not thinking of using the script world’s time to increase his experience and knowledge earlier – that was a waste of decades of experience!
Boom! In the sky, a thunderous tribulation lightning roared down towards Ye Xuan. The ferocious lightning, like a dragon, seemed to be about to turn the entire Wuyuan Town into ruins.
Ye Xuan leapt up, soaring into the sky, to meet the lightning. With a movement of his hands, a gigantic Taiji pattern appeared in his hands, and with a point of his finger, the Taiji pattern turned into a massive array spanning tens of miles.
The sky was divided into two by the Yin-Yang array. The tribulation lightning that fell from the sky boomed on the Yin-Yang array. For a moment, the entire Wuyuan Town seemed to turn into daylight.
In the next moment, Ye Xuan seemed to enter a very tranquil world.
“Husband.”
“Ye Xuan Brother…”
“?!” Before he could get a clear look at his surroundings, two familiar voices rang in his ears. He turned his head towards the direction of the voices, only to see Jiang Ling’er and Mo Qingxue there.
Both women were smiling beautifully, quietly watching him. Then, Jiang Ling’er’s smile began to freeze, and she asked Ye Xuan coldly, “You promised to marry me, why did you seek other women?!!”
———
Yu Ling’er, watching the scene of Jiang Ling’er in the image, couldn’t help but clench her teeth. Ye Xuan, don’t listen to her, that’s your inner demon.
———
Ye Xuan looked towards Jiang Ling’er and said, “You are not Jiang Ling’er, get out of the way!” After his words, the Jiang Ling’er before his eyes dissipated.
Mo Qingxue, with a face full of hatred, said to Ye Xuan, “Husband, why did you treat me this way, speak up, quickly explain to me–!!! As long as you explain clearly, I will forgive you…”
———
“Ye Xuan, don’t mind her–!!!” Elder Qingxue also clenched her fists secretly. This was just Ye Xuan’s inner demon. If Ye Xuan yielded to his inner demon, it would be over.
However, this situation is clear to outsiders, but for those transcending the tribulation, this scene feels like a real occurrence. If he cannot remain steadfast in his belief, he will be confused by the inner demon and fail the tribulation. The consequences need no explanation…
———
“Get lost–!!!” Ye Xuan, without hesitation, said to that Mo Qingxue, “I will explain to my wife myself, but not to you, this ugly thing–!”
“Husband, you are so heartless. After doing so much to me, you don’t even want to explain.” Mo Qingxue’s face was filled with sadness.
Ye Xuan waved his hand, casting a spell to dissipate her.
“Hehehehe… Ye Xuan, you can be so ruthless towards us, but can you be the same towards the real Mo Qingxue?!!”
Right after Ye Xuan dissipated that image of Mo Qingxue, a sinister voice, indistinguishable between male and female, came from the sky. “Tell me… can you be ruthless towards the real Mo Qingxue?”
As the voice spoke, the image of Mo Qingxue appeared again: “You want to explain everything to Mo Qingxue, but have you ever thought, after you explain everything to her, she will feel indebted to you. Then, will she still want to kill you?”
“Wouldn’t that be better?” Ye Xuan said coldly.
“Do you really think so?” The illusionary Mo Qingxue approached Ye Xuan again, pointing at his heart and saying, “Have you forgotten, Mo Qingxue once vowed that if she does not kill you herself, she will eternally fall into the endless hells.”
“If she doesn’t kill you, she will break her vow… You should understand the consequences of a cultivator breaking a vow.”
At this moment, Ye Xuan showed a look of panic.
———
“–!!!”
The words of the illusionary Mo Qingxue made the watching Elder Qingxue also widen her eyes in shock. If she couldn’t kill Ye Xuan and broke her vow, what would be her consequences?
She had never thought about this before. But now, if she couldn’t kill Ye Xuan, she might indeed fulfill her oath and fall into the endless hells forever.
Realizing this, Elder Qingxue became somewhat panicked. She had a vague feeling of unease.
———
“Could it be… No, it can’t be–!!!”
“Hahaha, it seems like you’ve realized it.” Seeing the panic on Ye Xuan’s face, the illusionary Mo Qingxue spoke with a look of triumph, “Ye Xuan, what will you do now?”
“Even if you transcend the tribulation, the women you deeply love will never forgive you. What’s the joy in cultivating? Might as well end it all for peace and quiet.”
“Right, don’t you feel that living is too tiring?” At this moment, another illusion of Jiang Ling’er appeared: “The women you deeply love have left you, your wife harbors deep hatred towards you, and even if you want to explain to Mo Qingxue, it’s useless. Even if she believes you, the result will be her own death. Why bother?”
“Come, accept your fate of destruction willingly.” Both inner demons kept whispering in Ye Xuan’s ears, tempting him to give up transcending the tribulation.
This overwhelming temptation was like giving a pillow to someone who was forced to work several sleepless nights. All he needed to do was close his eyes and lie down, and everything would be relaxed. Isn’t living too tiring?!!
At this moment, Ye Xuan was undergoing such a test. However, his face showed no hesitation; instead, he waved his hand again and dispersed these two illusions. “Get lost–!!!”
The next moment, the white light dissipated, and Ye Xuan faced the descending heavenly tribulation. If he had been distracted a moment longer, he might have been obliterated by the tribulation.
Yet, Ye Xuan increased his spiritual Qi output, and the next moment, the tribulation thunder was dispelled.
Immediately, powerful pure immortal Qi burst forth from Ye Xuan. He had become an immortal. For others, the extremely difficult ascension to immortality seemed not so challenging for him.
———
Watching Ye Xuan in the mirror so easily complete the tribulation, both Elder Qingxue and Yu Ling’er secretly sighed in relief.
However, they also felt a bit dejected. Ye Xuan’s ease in overcoming the tribulation meant that these inner demons were nothing to him, indicating that the two of them hadn’t really affected him much.
Despite knowing Ye Xuan needed to succeed, they couldn’t help but wish he cared more about them. Such is the paradox of human nature. Regardless, Ye Xuan’s successful ascension seemed to be a reason for joy.
———
Looking at his hands, Ye Xuan muttered to himself, “Is this what it feels like to be an immortal? It doesn’t seem very special, apart from having purer and stronger spiritual Qu. It’s not as exhilarating as I imagined.”
Anyone hearing Ye Xuan’s words might feel frustrated. After all, he had achieved what might take others hundreds of years in just a short time, yet he wasn’t fully satisfied.
“But…” Ye Xuan then furrowed his brows, lost in thought, “To become an immortal so easily, I must be quite remarkable–!!!”
