Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Joy
Qi Hao furrowed his brow, "What’s wrong with Qi Xuan?"
Su Yuanyuan felt relieved, the two brothers grew up together and truly understood each other.
"You better ask Qi Xuan yourself later. If he’s willing to tell you, then listen; if not, just let it be."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll take Xiao Rue to meet my master."
"Go ahead."
Zhu Huai’en had always stayed inside, worried about Qi Hong.
Actually, he underestimated Qi Xuan’s resilience. Su Yuanyuan knew her son had no love for that woman, yet her departure left a mark on his heart, and now he just wants to become stronger.
Zhu Huai’en was very fond of Xiao Rue, cherishing him from the bottom of his heart. He felt he could spoil him with peace of mind.
Listening to Qi Hao’s stories from outside, "What did you gain?"
"The gain is nine disciples. Master, those two girls might have Water Spirit Bodies."
"The Sect Master will arrange everything. And how about your mental state?"
"Mental state? Didn’t feel much, just realized that mortals are even craftier than cultivators, and those with impure thoughts are even more wicked.
Mortals scheme against each other too fiercely; it seems they spend their time, apart from eating, just thinking about wealth and social climbing.
The people at the bottom also live in deep poverty, not much different from the level differentiation we have here."
"Hmm, having such insights is considered a gain. Understand the treachery of human hearts."
"Master, I knew that a long time ago, alright?"
"Qi Xuan gained Xiao Rue, and what about you?"
"I don’t have such thoughts, having Xiao Rue is enough."
Zhu Huai’en didn’t say anything further. What can a bachelor of several hundred years old say?
"Master, I’ll take Xiao Rue back. My sister should be returning soon."
Zhu Huai’en nodded, wanting to say Xiao Rue could stay, but ultimately didn’t voice it out.
Xiao Rue is an Immortal Embryo, but because his mother is a mortal, he was born early and wasn’t nurtured properly, lacking in some aspects.
The Ancestor had said Su Yuanyuan could raise Xiao Rue. So even if he fancied the child more, he wouldn’t delay him.
After returning, Xiao Rue snuggled up to his grandmother, in his heart, no one was closer than her.
In the evening Qi Wen didn’t return, and Qi Yan and Qi Hong didn’t come out of seclusion either.
The three of them were in the space, which is Xiao Rue’s favorite place.
"Mom, when will Dad come out of seclusion? It’s been almost three years."
"Isn’t that normal?"
"Master, the Spiritual Power fluctuations outside are too intense."
Su Yuanyuan slipped out of the space and immediately invested Spirit Stones into Tan Shaoting’s endeavor.
Qi Hao held Xiao Rue’s hand, "Your grandfather must know I’m back and missing me."
"Third Uncle, your face is so thick! Isn’t it that grandpa wants to see me?"
"Yes, yes, it’s to see Xiao Rue."
The commotion here was so great, the seclusion-training Qi Yan and Qi Hong brothers had come out, and even Qi Wen rushed over hurriedly.
Liu Xiaozhu stood alongside four Divinity Transformation Ancestors, eager and hoping for Tan Shaoting’s success in achieving Divinity Transformation, so that Xuantian Sect could have one more Mahayana and six Divinity Transformations, unmatched by others.
Su Yuanyuan was a bit anxious, the Spiritual Energy requirement was too massive.
The three brothers swiftly invested Spirit Stones, and top-grade spiritual stones were nearly instantly absorbed.
The five sect leaders standing aside sighed inwardly, these folks are truly wealthy.
There was no other choice. Su Yuanyuan directly threw in two Gold Fire spirit veins.
Liu Xiaozhu felt a toothache, spirit veins... But if Divinity Transformation could be achieved, what are two spirit veins worth?
The situation was very peculiar, and only after the two spirit veins were added did the external Spiritual Energy fluctuation decrease slightly.
All of the Xuantian Sect disciples were looking towards Huai Sheng Mountain.
It had been over two years since the last Divinity Transformation on Huai Sheng Mountain.
This was a grand event for the sect; another Ancestor would be added.
Inside the array, it was a critical moment for Tan Shaoting. With his wife by his side, he felt secure, having never considered the possibility of failure in Divinity Transformation.
He knew that he needed only to focus on achieving Divinity Transformation, as his wife was taking care of everything outside.
Three hours later, suddenly, two colors of Gold Fire burst skyward from the array.
"Mom, did Dad successfully achieve Divinity Transformation?"
"Probably, just wait and see."
Xiao Rue being held by his aunt. "Why hasn’t Dad come over?"
As they spoke, Qi Xuan appeared there.
Though Xiao Rue was mentioning Dad, the father and son had yet to meet each other in person.
Qi Xuan looked at his son in his sister’s arms, feeling a sudden sting in his nostrils. He knew now wasn’t the right time for sentiment.
He quickly joined his brothers’ side.
Qi Hao patted his shoulder. Now they could only await the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Heavenly Tribulation.
Dark clouds appeared in the sky almost instantly, gathering in this direction.
"The most dangerous Heavenly Tribulation," Yu Huping sighed.
He himself achieved Divinity Transformation thanks to an item given by Tan Shaoting; perhaps Tan also possessed such an item?
Tan Shaoting dispelled the array and appeared outside. His first action was to embrace his wife; though brief, it brought him peace.
In an instant, he disappeared from Huai Sheng Mountain. The remaining people followed him to Tribulation Mountain.
All sect disciples above the Golden Core level were now gathered here.
Each cultivator’s Heavenly Tribulation is different. Given the chance to witness more, they certainly wouldn’t miss out.
Tan Shaoting stood atop the mountain. Looking at the family surrounding him, he glanced at the little figure in Qi Wen’s arms with a slight frown; this was the bloodline of the Tan Family.
The Heavenly Tribulation gave him no time to think about anything else. Two Heavenly Tribulations descended simultaneously.
Could it happen this way? Both those who had and hadn’t achieved Divinity Transformation were stunned.
Tan Shaoting endured it head-on, finding it bearable. Although it was much stronger than the Nascent Soul’s tribulation, he felt it was within his ability to withstand.
"Mom, what’s that?"
"It’s nothing, your dad can endure it." It was clear that he could now.
Next, both bolts of lightning came down together, giving the impression that the Heavenly Thunder wished to obliterate Tan Shaoting completely.
But Tan Shaoting didn’t experience it that way. He continued refining the leftover lightning within his body.
Qi Yan squinted, watching the Heavenly Tribulation. He had a premonition that their father’s Heavenly Tribulation would undoubtedly pass smoothly.
In reality, its power wasn’t as great as it seemed.
"Aunt, Grandpa is alright. Don’t be nervous."
"I’m not nervous, and neither should Xiao Rue be scared."
"Aunt, I’m not afraid; it seems quite easy. Actually, I could go in and help Grandpa."
He knew no one else was there, and even if they were, his powerful family had nothing to fear.
"No need, your grandpa will certainly navigate through the Heavenly Tribulation smoothly, don’t worry."
"Aunt, I really can."
"Alright, Aunt believes in you."
Xiao Rue didn’t say anything more. Indeed, this time, there was no danger from the Heavenly Tribulation. In fact, being struck by lightning had its benefits; it was just unknown whether they realized it.
Not a single bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation was missing; Tan Shaoting stood firm throughout, embodying a spirit of courage and resilience.
His body now contained an excess of lightning, and refining it required considerable time, but he would certainly accomplish it.
