CHAPTER 135: 0103 TRIBULATION FAILURE (TWO IN ONE)

The "Lord of the Cyan Heaven" towers over the nine heavens, with giant dragons coiled around the Spirit Sea, breaking through the Celestial Sect and charging into the Lower Realm, transforming into a cyan pillar reaching the sky.

Amidst the sound of glass shattering, the Cyan Dragon passes through and fractures one Dao Pattern after another.

The terrifying force causes the entire world in Shi Qingjun’s eyes to tremble, and under the pressure of the celestial might, everything is confined within her body, unintentionally being crushed into fragments.

For Shi Qingjun, her Heart Tribulation is internal, so the injuries at this moment are self-inflicted, and they should be insurmountable.

The world shakes, and she suffers severe injuries, with her cultivation, meridians, and Spiritual Power being crushed inch by inch by celestial might.

However.

"Now is not the time."

As Xu Chang’an’s words fall, time halts for an instant, and the "Lord of the Cyan Heaven" seems to crash into an indestructible barrier, the body being extremely compressed, then expands greatly with countless cracks appearing on its body.

"Not the time..." Shi Qingjun’s complexion turns pale, she looks at Xu Chang’an blankly, with surprise in her eyes, murmuring: "Now is not the time?"

"Yes." Xu Chang’an nods.

A gentle breeze sweeps by, as slowly as a stream flowing past a mirror.

Shi Qingjun’s mentality undergoes a slight change, a rippling breeze lifts her veil, revealing her unusually red lips; she smiles slightly.

"Yes, the Junior Brother is right... At this moment, it’s indeed not the time."

Shi Qingjun smiles, she lifts her head, looking at the Cyan Dragon that is about to fall on Chaoyun Sect, watching its scales peel off, breaking inch by inch, turning into a streak of clear energy, with her beautiful eyes gleaming with water.

As Xu Chang’an’s words fall, she understands.

The Heart Tribulation persists because she hasn’t given up on the thought of transcending the tribulation to attain immortality at this moment.

Yet, Xu Chang’an’s words awaken the dreamer, solidifying her belief.

Since her heart is disturbed by Xu Chang’an, because he gave the Heart Tribulation an opportunity, then it should be mended by him.

At this moment, transcending the tribulation, from various meanings, is truly inappropriate.

——

"?" Xu Chang’an looked at the peculiar behaving Senior Sister in front of him, suddenly startled.

He noticed Shi Qingjun’s originally dark eyes gradually turning azure blue, feeling somewhat familiar.

In this world, most people’s eyes are black, the same azure eyes were owned by the Senior he met early in the morning at Celestial Bright Peak, lying in muddy water.

Xu Chang’an did not associate Shi Qingjun with the red-robed woman he saw in the morning; their physique and appearance did not match, but they are both from Muyu Peak. Could they know each other?

If they know each other, Xu Chang’an clearly is not familiar with Shi Qingjun, yet she came to him spouting nonsense... then there’s a reason.

Xu Chang’an bowed his head, his finger brushed over the Token—a Glazed Jade—given by a Senior to watch over him and give him chances.

So, is it someone from above coming to evaluate his talents again?

How does he view heavenly thunder?

Does this question have some deep meaning?

Xu Chang’an indeed has his detailed opinions.

Although he was picked up by Yun Qian when he was still a child and completely lost his memory before the age of ten, his "past life’s" memory remains, understanding the essence of lightning.

In his world, the ancients thought lightning was related to divine punishment, for example, for committing unfilial deeds, the heavens would anger, and the gods were furious.

But later, natural studies revealed the true meaning of lightning, released when two clouds carrying opposite electric charges approach each other.

But the problem is, the world he is currently in cannot be explained scientifically, so lightning has been given a new meaning, even closer to the ancients’ guesses.

Yet, he doesn’t feel the need to explain Shi Qingjun’s question in detail, he might explain it facing Yun Qian, but with a Senior Sister specializing in cultivation?

Who knows what the difference is between worldly thunderstorms and the cultivation realm’s Thunder Tribulations?

Perhaps they’re the same thing, maybe there’s really a Lei Gong in the heavens?

Therefore, Xu Chang’an didn’t respond to the cultivation realm’s heavenly thunder but simply answered with a sentence.

What is timely?

It’s a simple question.

Mid-spring, thunder sounds, mid-autumn, thunder begins to recede, what is said to be Yin and Yang moving lightly, thunder and rain produce living things.

While on the island, he opened a plot in the back yard to plant things for Yun Qian to eat. A spring thunder echoing with spring rain nourished everything, allowing his planted crops to thrive properly.

That’s timely.

However, Xu Chang’an knows he is an unremarkable person; his outlook is short-sighted, so knowing rain and thunder are likely forthcoming, he feels somewhat worried.

Miss Yun is still dreaming, and he is not by her side; if the thunder awakens her from sleep, that would be annoying enough.

It’s just that simple.

"Hmm..." Xu Chang’an held a watering can, sighing lightly, feeling his answer was inadequate, too casual.

If he had perceived earlier that this Senior Sister might be there to evaluate him, he would definitely combine thunder and cultivation to give her an answer related to cultivation, like understanding reading.

However.

Xu Chang’an blinked slightly faster.

Oddly enough, the Senior Sister before him seemed very... satisfied with his answer?

When buying things at the East Wing, she should give him a discount, right?

——

Before the imminent tribulation descends, it suddenly dissipates. As the special world in Shi Qingjun’s eyes gradually shatters, fragments of the Thunder Tribulation turn into clear energy, mending her fragmented Mental Realm, and thus the world in her eyes changes.
