Chapter 2274
"Yu'er!"
After three years of painstaking protection, enduring the dangers of lightning tribulations and inner demons, the clouds have finally parted and the moon has finally shone through.
Chen Xuan excitedly called out her name, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he rapidly flew toward her side.
Qing Tianyu'er seemed to still be immersed in the afterglow of the inner demon world until a familiar voice rang in her ears, which startled her awake, and she turned her head to look.
"My husband... I... I succeeded! I successfully transcended the tribulation!"
Having been together for millennia and endured countless hardships, in this moment of embracing, all the difficulties and fears vanish.
Qing Tian Yu'er hugged Chen Xuan tightly, weeping with joy, her tears soaking his clothes: "I am finally qualified to be my husband's true wife... Waaah..."
"Silly girl." Chen Xuan gently stroked her hair, feeling the surging celestial aura around her, and his heart was filled with relief. "Come on, let's go see the sisters. They've been worried about you for months, just like me."
The two held hands and flew towards Qiu Zixian, Lu Xueqi and Piaoxue with smiles on their faces, surrounded by rosy light, like a perfect couple.
Qing Tian Yu'er did not publicize the news of her successful tribulation, but only quietly informed her parents and elder brother, Qing Tian Xiao Lou. Afterwards, the group quietly returned to Longxia County to begin preparations for Qiu Zixian's tribulation.
In the back garden of the Longxia Prince's Mansion, a babbling brook flowed, and exotic flowers and rare herbs exuded fragrance, with a misty aura swirling around them. Chen Xuan held Xia Jiuyou's hand and strolled slowly among the flowers.
"Are you still planning to return to your sect to undergo your tribulation?" Chen Xuan looked at her, his tone tinged with reluctance.
"Hmm." Xia Jiuyou nodded, transmitting his thoughts telepathically, "The guidance from the unseen tells me that my chances of success are greatest only at the Tribulation Ground of the Nine Nether Holy Land. So..."
"Alright." Although Chen Xuan was still worried, he knew that forcing the issue would be pointless. "How about I personally go to the Nine Netherworld Holy Land to protect you when the time comes?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jiuyou smiled and shook her head, gently tapping his chest with her fingertip: "No need. If you go, I will be distracted and unable to concentrate on dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation."
Chen Xuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Oh, right, here's your 'old lover' back." Xia Jiuyou smiled mischievously, and with a flick of her hand, a stream of eerie blue light appeared—the complete Yellow Springs River. Its rippling waters exuded a dense aura of death and Daoist energy.
"If I fail to transcend the tribulation and die, and this River of the Underworld is revealed, the Nine Netherworld Holy Land will not return it to you easily."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan gently flicked her delicate nose, feigning anger, and said, "Don't say such discouraging things. With your foundation, you will surely survive the tribulation safely. I believe in you."
After reclaiming the Yellow Springs River, Chen Xuan accompanied Xia Jiuyou as they traveled throughout the mountains and rivers of Longxia County.
They stood silently in remembrance before the Monument to the People's Heroes;
Beneath the statue of the First Emperor, they felt the resonance of the bloodline of the Yellow Emperor; atop the Great Wall stretching for tens of thousands of miles, they stood side by side gazing into the distance, watching the sunrise in the east and the sea of clouds churning.
Every place carries the memories of China and leaves a precious mark on this time of gathering.
A year later, Xia Jiuyou set off to return to the Dragon Xia Royal Palace.
Qiu Zixian and Lu Xueqi began preparing for their tribulation.
Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The place Qiu Zixian chose for her tribulation was located in a vast, boundless mountain range spanning 100,000 li within the territory of Longxia County.
Following the same standards used when he helped Qing Tian Yu'er undergo her tribulation, Chen Xuan used the terrain to set up an eighty-one-layered, top-grade immortal-level protective array, completely isolating the tribulation area from the outside world.
Qiu Zixian mainly cultivates the path of Qi Refining. Although she does not have the powerful physical body forged by gods and demons, her primordial spirit is refined and her foundation is profound.
The tribulations of wind and fire did not pose a significant obstacle for her, and she easily overcame them, proving herself to be on par with Qing Tian Yu'er back then.
Once the tribulation of wind and fire was over, the tribulation clouds of the first-class celestial immortal thunder tribulation began to gather above the great formation.
Compared to Qing Tian Yu'er's tribulation clouds, Qiu Zi Xian's tribulation clouds, though only twice the size, were more condensed, and the rolling thunder within them carried a stronger aura of destruction.
The tribulation of the primordial spirit is inextricably linked to the fate of the original body. Even though Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou had already severed most of their karmic ties, Xia Jiuyou was still greatly affected at this moment.
She set up several layers of isolation formations on a mountain peak not far away, sat cross-legged, her mind clear, trying her best to isolate the sensation of her primordial spirit undergoing tribulation, so as not to interfere with Qiu Zixian.
Meanwhile, in the outer space of Xuanxiao Star, nebulae swirled and chaotic air currents drifted.
Three figures stood silently in the void, their hands behind their backs, their auras influencing the surrounding space and time. They were none other than three powerful beings at the Immortal King level.
The man on the left was dressed in a black robe, with long, ink-black hair, a handsome face, and deep eyes. He was none other than Jue Wuqing, the current sect leader of the Jueqing Holy Land. He concealed his Immortal King aura and exuded an air of looking down on the world.
The person in the middle, dressed in white, stood with his arms outstretched, a gentle holy light flowing between his brows, his temperament refined and gentle, he was none other than the sect leader of the Yao Guang Holy Land.
His gaze remained fixed on Lu Xueqi below, carrying a hint of concern and expectation for his personal disciple.
On the right is a man dressed in a purple robe, holding a dragon-headed cane with dragon patterns flowing on its surface, exuding an ancient and imposing aura.
She was an old woman with a face full of wrinkles, but her eyes were sharp and her leisurely gaze was fixed on Qiu Zixian, who was undergoing tribulation. She was none other than the Youyue Immortal King of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.
“Youyue, there’s no need to worry too much.” Jue Wuqing transmitted his voice through divine sense, his tone relaxed. “For me, the tribulation of the primordial spirit is only beneficial and not harmful. It will not affect the succession of your sect’s next sect leader.”
"Not bad." The Holy Lord of Radiance nodded in agreement, his gaze sweeping over Qiu Zixian, and he praised her.
"From our perspective, although Qiu Zixian only cultivates the Qi Refining Path, her overall foundation and strength are not much weaker than Xia Jiuyou of your sect. Her success rate in this tribulation is extremely high."
"Hmph, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering." Immortal King Youyue glanced at the two of them, his tone full of helplessness.
“I had already prepared the most suitable place for Jiuyou to undergo her tribulation. Qiu Zixian is Jiuyou’s primordial spirit body. It would be the safest choice for the two of them to return to the sect together to undergo their tribulation. But you two insisted on interfering…”
"Just mentioning this makes me angry!" The Holy Lord of Radiance also abandoned his gentle expression and scolded him with displeasure.
"What kind of talent does my disciple Xueqi possess? From the day I took her as my disciple, I began preparing for her tribulation. If it weren't for your ruthlessness, she could have peacefully undergone her tribulation in the Yao Guang Holy Land!"
"Sigh, how can you blame me?" Jue Wuqing said with a chuckle, completely unconcerned.
"Why do all your disciples favor Chen Xuan, a disciple of my Heartless Holy Land, so much? The tribulation of love is an inevitable path for cultivators. If you don't overcome it now, you will have to overcome it before you achieve Dao. It's the same sooner or later."
"cheeky!"
"You're a lunatic, I can't be bothered arguing with you."
Although the Moon Immortal King and the Radiant Saint Lord were full of dissatisfaction, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
They knew in their hearts that what Jue Wuqing said was true.
A disciple's emotional tribulations are beyond the reach of others; only by personally overcoming them can one achieve perfect enlightenment. Otherwise, they will inevitably become the greatest obstacle on the path of cultivation.
Just then, a strange light flashed in Jue Wuqing's eyes. He stared intently at Qiu Zixian below the tribulation clouds and said in a deep voice, "The real tribulation has begun."
The Radiant Saint Lord frowned slightly, gazing intently at the rolling lightning within the tribulation clouds, his tone grave:
"Is it the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning and the Pure Yang Divine Lightning? This woman possesses the inheritance of the three paths of demonic cultivation, so it is reasonable for her to attract these two highly targeted lightning bolts."
