Chapter 629: Friends, Be Casual

　　In the sky above the Grand White Palace, black clouds swept over and immediately attracted the attention of the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts.

　　Due to the constant and complete broadcast system of the bronze mirror, the Heavenly Courts also noticed this rare matter through the bronze mirrors of various sizes.

　　Apart from the Lower Three Heavens, there were few Heavenly Tribulations in the Heavenly Courts.

　　After all, the lowest cultivation level of the Heavenly Soldiers was at the late-stage of the Essence Immortal realm. It was not easy for the immortals of the Heavenly Courts to become Golden Immortals. Every time a Heavenly Tribulation appeared, it would cause a small commotion.

　　The immortals on duty in the Hall of Enlightenment were shocked.

　　“Who is going to transcend the tribulation? Why didn’t you report to the Hall of Enlightenment in advance? Where are the rules of the Heavenly Courts?”

　　“Sir, I heard that it’s the Grand White Palace…”

　　“Pfft! Ahem, ahem! Who is going to transcend the tribulation in the Grand White Palace? Why is there no reaction from the immortal book in the Hall of Enlightenment? We can prepare some gifts in advance!”

　　In various parts of the Jade Pool, many fairies rode a cloud and looked in the direction of the Grand White Palace. Immortal senses landed in the backyard of the Grand White Palace.

　　In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor, who was discussing some trivial matters with the immortals, did not have to use Taibai Jinxing. At that moment, he raised his eyebrows and gestured for the generals below to stop talking. He asked General Dongmu to open the copper mirror and reveal the scene after the Grand White Palace.

　　Coincidentally, a firefly flew out of the “small mountain” that was protected by the Mustard Seed Cosmic Array and transformed into the figure of a fairy.

　　The immortals in the hall were naturally unfamiliar with this fairy, but they knew of her existence.

　　Ling’e was born into the Lan family and had yet to meet the immortals.

　　The lotus flowers bloomed, and the gods knew about it.

　　That was the hidden big shot who was ranked second only to the Queen Mother, Heng’e, and Princess Long Ji on the “Immortal Rankings of the Heavenly Courts”!

　　Taibai Jinxing had appointed his only junior sister, the in-name disciple of the Grand Pure One of Ren School. He sat at home and did nothing. He was the first person in the Primordial World who had obtained a supreme immortal opportunity!

　　Ling’e.

　　At that moment, Ling’e transformed into her main body and was lifted up by a ganoderma-shaped white cloud. She quickly flew into the sky.

　　The wind of the Heavenly realm blew the hair beside her ear. The clouds that passed by played with her with immortal light.

　　Even the black clouds moving above her head did not seem to want to scare her. They slowed down their gathering speed and almost condensed into a huge hand that gently fiddled with Liu Hai in front of her forehead.

　　In the face of the Longevity Tribulation, Ling’e was still quite nervous. Her cute and charming face was tense, and her thin lips were pursed slightly. Her breathing was a little chaotic.

　　“Aunt-Master Ling’e!”

　　A soft voice sounded from afar. It was Long Ji riding a cloud and flying over with a group of Jade Pool fairies.

　　“Don’t worry.” Long Ji saw that Ling’e was nervous and smiled. “Mother said that nothing will happen to you during your Tribulation Transcendence. The Heavenly Dao has to protect you.”

　　Ling’e became even more nervous.

　　Not far from the Little Qiong Peak, immortal light surrounded it. A small mountain rapidly expanded. Then, it stretched out its arms and legs and turned into a burly female giant that was ten thousand feet tall. She was dressed in bright golden armor and held two huge axes in her hands. She roared,

　　“Sister-in-law Ling’e! My family is here to help you guard the array formation!”

　　The male immortals of the Heavenly Courts, who were originally admiring the cute and charming little fairy, shivered.

　　Li Changshou appeared not far away.

　　Although he was worried that he would be punished by the Heavenly Punishment, he still wanted to be closer to Ling’e.

　　Prevention is better than cure. If the Heavenly Tribulation that Ling’e encountered was too powerful, she would really not be able to withstand it. Moreover, the nine Nine Revolutions Golden Pills had been exhausted, and the two pots of Nine Revolutions Spirit Pills had been used up.

　　In that case, he did not mind resisting the Heavenly Dao and forcefully protecting his junior sister’s Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

　　At most, he would disregard everything and leave with his teacher’s protection.

　　Li Changshou had thought of bringing Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Immortals away from the Primordial World to avoid the calamity. It was also one of the backup plans.

　　If he could not change the rules, he would try to jump out.

　　Li Changshou activated his clear Dao heart and suppressed his emotions. He stood on the white cloud with his hands behind his back and sent a voice transmission to Ling’e.

　　“Don’t be nervous. Do what you rehearsed previously. You have already formed muscle memory.”

　　“Yes.”

　　Ling’e agreed. Although she did not know what muscle memory was, how could a fairy have such obvious muscles? Her arms and legs were perfect.

　　Hence, Ling’e was even more nervous.

　　Under the gaze of tens of thousands of immortal senses, she interlocked her fingers and stopped on a desolate mountain. She muttered a few times and then looked up at the sky.

　　She had actually prepared for this day for a long time.

　　After the Golden Immortal Tribulation, her life level would increase by leaps and bounds. She would become an immortal who would not age or die. Then, she would be able to focus on skincare, maintenance, and facial masks…

　　Ahem, I’m going to make Senior Brother happy!

　　Finally, I can help Senior Brother in the future!

　　Come on, Heavenly Tribulation, today!

　　Yes, according to Senior Brother’s instructions, I must not insert the flag. I have to memorize the Tribulation Transcendence Song that I created!

　　Don’t be in a hurry to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation. Senior Brother reminded me to be careful.

　　Once she said his name, he bowed and thanked.

　　He used all his strength to block the first three. He did not hesitate to save his immortal power.

　　There were four to five of them. The wind was blowing, and they were good at using Dharma treasures.

　　There were six to seven of them. Don’t be anxious. You have to compare the illusions.

　　Eight to nine strikes. Longevity is established. I will do my best!

　　The first step!

　　Ling’e took a deep breath and bowed to the sky. Pink light flickered in her eyes.

　　“Disciple of the Dao Sect, Lan Ling’e, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to strike…”

　　Uh, wrong!

　　“Thank you, Grandpa Heavenly Dao! That’s not right. Thank you, Grandpa Heavenly Lord!”

　　Ling’e’s face turned pale and she hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. However, the black cloud trembled and an old Daoist priest’s blurry face appeared!

　　Dao Ancestor’s manifestation! The power of the Heavenly Dao!

　　Li Changshou immediately moved forward and apologized for Ling’e. He took the initiative to invite one or two Heavenly Punishments, but unexpectedly…

　　“Hehehehe.”

　　The Tribulation Cloud. He smiled.

　　In the important place of the Heavenly Dao Divine Power, in the core place of power in the future of the Three Realms, under the gaze of countless immortals using their immortal senses, Dharma treasures, and mystical abilities,

　　The Tribulation Cloud that should have contained lightning revealed the face of the Dao Ancestor. He smiled kindly.

　　The Jade Emperor of the Lingxiao Hall, the Queen Mother in the Jade Pool, and Li Changshou, who was at the edge of the black cloud, were stunned, let alone the officials, generals, and Heavenly Soldiers and fairies.

　　No!

　　“Yes, Ling’e, be good.”

　　The old Daoist priest, who was revealed by the tribulation cloud, smiled brightly and said warmly, “There’s no need to be nervous. I’ve just checked for you. Your Heavenly Tribulation is a relatively ordinary Heavenly Tribulation. You will definitely be able to survive it. Are you ready? Can the first Tribulation Cloud descend?”

　　“Ah, thank you, Dao Ancestor,” Ling’e replied softly. “I’m ready. Just let the lightning fall. I can resist it myself!”

　　“Yes, the Heavenly Dao is impartial. I can’t avoid your Lightning Tribulation. This can also give you some benefits.”

　　This!

　　One of them really dared to say it, while the other really dared to respond!

　　The Heavenly Courts was silent.

　　The immortals looked at the Tribulation Cloud that had bloomed. The Longevity Tribulation Lightning, which was probably several times stronger than the ninth bolt of the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, slowly landed and gently smashed in front of the little immortal. Then, it gently swung at her shoulder…

　　It was because he was afraid that he would touch her forehead, skull, and other vital spots that could easily injure her.

　　Ling’e closed her mouth tightly. Her black hair fluttered, and her face was filled with determination.

　　The immortal dress on her is shoulder had a huge hole that looked like a fingernail split by the divine lightning! Her skin inside was clear like a pearl. There was no trace of it.

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　Why?!

　　However, it was his junior sister who had the advantage. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor did not seem to have any intention of taking the opportunity to punish him. Li Changshou did not complain.

　　However, Li Changshou began to think about the deeper meaning behind the Dao Ancestor’s actions.

　　Being nice to me and comforting me on the eve of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

　　No, there’s no need for that.

　　The Dao Ancestor’s actions seemed simple, but in fact, he had deep intentions. Most importantly, he should reveal his existence and make everyone forget who was the one who set the rules in the Primordial World.

　　Especially at this juncture.

　　The Dao Ancestor was swearing the ownership of the “tools of the Heavenly Courts” and reminding the six Saints and the Great God-Conferment Tribulation that they could not threaten the Heavenly Courts themselves. At the same time, he also made Chan, Jie, and the Western Sect, who had entered the tribulation, prepare to use their elite disciples to fill the vacancy of the Heavenly Courts.

　　“After entering the Heavenly Courts, I will be one step closer to the Dao Ancestor.”

　　“Although the Heavenly Dao is impartial, the Dao Ancestor is above the Heavenly Dao. He has personal feelings and will take care of the disciples of the Dao Sect.”

　　The Heavenly Courts’ Taibai Jinxing works for the Dao Ancestor. He is one of the Dao Ancestor’s own.

　　Apart from that, Li Changshou thought of a series of benefits and various subsequent effects.

　　It could only be said that he was taller than the Dao Ancestor.

　　When those thoughts flashed through Li Changshou’s mind, Ling’e had already “endured” the second Heavenly Tribulation.

　　At that moment…

　　It was not a big deal. It was very stable. Medicinal pills and Dharma treasures were useless.

　　She stood proudly in the air. Every time she experienced the Heavenly Lightning Strike, there would be some changes. Her skin would be more lustrous, and her facial features would be more charming. Her Dao runes would emit a sense of eternity.

　　In the lightning tribulation, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell and wrapped around her, making her look even more holy.

　　A chuckle sounded from the cloud. “The Heavenly Tribulation that triggered the mental demons is coming. What you will see next will be illusions.”

　　“Yes!”

　　Ling’e answered and bowed to the sky. “Thank you for your reminder, Master.”

　　Li Changshou lowered his head silently. He could not bear to look at her.

　　The Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Hall sighed faintly. He was finally not the Dao Ancestor’s favorite child.

　　In the Jade Pool, the Queen Mother looked thoughtful. She sighed softly but did not say anything.

　　For example, the old officials like General Dongmu and Elder Moon could not help but cry. They lamented the difference between being a god and being a god.

　　In the Water God Residence, Youqin Xuanya leaned against the window sill and watched the scene in the bronze mirror in her hand. Her sleeping smile was peaceful and gratified. There was also a hint of longing.

　　In another courtyard not far away, Ling Zhuzi lowered his head silently and looked at his hands. He sighed dejectedly and strolled on the swing.

　　“Here.”

　　A jade carrot was handed over. Ling Zhuzi’s gaze was filled with her small face. It was Little Jade Rabbit, who had just rushed to Ling Zhuzi’s residence after hearing that Ling’e from the Grand White Palace had transcended the tribulation.

　　She saw that Ling Zhuzi’s eyes were lifeless and her expression was gloomy. She sat on the swing next door and thought of comforting him.

　　She naturally knew about the knot in Ling Zhuzi’s heart.

　　He was a disciple of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. He walked the path of righteous cultivation. He had also obtained the Dao through a spiritual pearl in the world. He was not inferior to Connate lifeforms. His luck was extraordinary.

　　Perception, talent, background, Dao techniques, mystical abilities, treasures, circumstances, obsessions…

　　What did he lack?

　　However, he could not break through a bottleneck for hundreds of years. Now, the Dao Realm was like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.

　　It was fine even if he had gone berserk. However, the phenomenon of going berserk could not happen at all.

　　Ling Zhuzi knew that since ancient times, too many so-called cultivation geniuses and Golden Immortals were stuck on this little bit of enlightenment.

　　However, the problem was that he had comprehended something. His teacher had even tried to enlighten him. He had also gone to the Tushita Palace to ask for pills to break through.

　　Without an exception, the more the bottleneck was tight, the more deaths there would be, and the less hope there would be.

　　That was what most Qi Refinement cultivators would encounter.

　　Actually, a few hundred years was not considered long. However, Yang Jian, who had entered the sect so late but had surpassed him later, was now a sixth-stage Golden Immortal.

　　He looked at Ao Yi, who had become sworn brothers with him and awakened his dragon race bloodline. Ao Yi was also at the Dao Realm.

　　He looked at Bian Zhuang, who had been grounded by the Heavenly River and had experienced a framing incident. His Dao realm had soared and was about to overtake him!

　　And today, Aunt-Master Ling’e, who had successfully begun her Tribulation Transcendence…

　　How could he be at ease?

　　How could he be willing?

　　He yearned to face the Heavenly Tribulation. He yearned to break through the Dao Realm and advance his life. He yearned to stand on a cloud with Yang Jian and Ao Yi.

　　No one wanted him to immediately become a Golden Immortal, and no one forced him to achieve something.

　　However, he…

　　He did not want to be ordinary or nameless.

　　It had been a long time since Ling Zhuzi left the courtyard.

　　At that moment, in the reflection of Yu Tu’s eyes that were like light rubies, Ling Zhuzi’s expression was a little dejected. Although he was forcing a smile, there was not much vitality in his eyes.

　　Yu Tu bit her lips slightly and whispered, “Why don’t we try to cultivate together… I heard from the sisters of the Moon Palace that the human race has a way to cultivate together and quickly break through the barrier. I, I’m fine…”

　　“Don’t think too much.” Ling Zhuzi sighed and said, “A bottleneck is a bottleneck. Only by comprehending it can one advance to the Dao Realm. Evil tricks cannot be taken. I’ll return to Qianyuan Mountain to visit Teacher and ask if there’s any way.”

　　“Yes,” Yu Tu said softly. “Cultivation depends on opportunities at the end of the day. Perhaps your opportunity has not arrived. Moreover, I did not become a Golden Immortal. What’s the big deal about that? I don’t envy those longevity immortals. Master is idling every day. It’s boring.”

　　“Thank you, good brother.”

　　Ling Zhuzi revealed a gentle smile. He raised his fist and handed it to Yu Tu.

　　Yu Tu made a face and clenched her fist. She bumped it gently with Ling Zhuzi’s fist.

　　“Good brother.”

　　“I will definitely be able to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation!”

　　Ling Zhuzi stood up. His eyes were filled with light as he looked at the dark clouds and the Thunder Tribulation in the sky.

　　“I have to be a hero like Uncle-Master Taibai. I have to be needed, trusted, and be able to do something big for the world!

　　Kill the demons!

　　Protect the weak!

　　I will definitely help Uncle-Master and the Heavenly Courts!

　　Definitely! ”

　　“Then you can do it.” Yu Tu muttered softly from the side. “They’re all some ambitions that sound time and energy-consuming.”

　　Ling Zhuzi smiled and shook his head. He recited, “Don’t waste time. A man builds his career in all directions.”

　　“Why? Can’t we achieve anything as females?”

　　“Of course you can.”

　　“You will be beaten up by the sisters.”

　　“Hehe, just don’t tell anyone. What are you playing today? Wrestling? Physical skills? Escape techniques? Sword and rod?”

　　“Pui, today is an odd day. You should listen to me and play this!”

　　“What is this? Ah, as long as it’s not a paper boat.”

　　“This is a rope!”

　　As the Jade Rabbit complained, Ling Zhuzi’s swings swayed slightly.

　　The big hands and small hands intertwined. A red string was flipped in various ways, but it could not bind the two pairs of fingers.

　　…

　　Four hours later.

　　Immortal light lingered and immortal music sounded. The world was filled with auspiciousness. Golden clouds gathered towards Ling’e. On them were the shadows of fairies dancing and the scene of old immortals sending blessings.

　　It was just an ordinary eighth-stage Longevity Heavenly Tribulation, but it had the effect of completing the supreme ninth-stage Longevity Tribulation!

　　Yes, that was not important.

　　Ling’e stood quietly in the air. Her immortal dress was tattered, and she looked even more delicate. She looked pitiful.

　　She smiled and was filled with immortal power. She felt the comfort of her Dao Body being “gently” tempered by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. She did not forget her senior brother’s instructions.

　　Ling’e temporarily suppressed the heavy realization in her heart and bowed to the Tribulation Cloud in the sky.

　　“Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for sending the Heavenly Tribulation to help me obtain the Dao Fruit of Longevity.”

　　The black Tribulation Cloud, which was still about two-thirds of its full diameter, revealed the Dao Ancestor’s face again. It still had that kind smile.

　　“Yes, be good. When your senior brother is free, let him bring you around the Purple Cloud Palace.”

　　The Dao Ancestor’s voice was still gentle. At that moment, he changed the topic. A ray of golden light pushed Ling’e away gently, and another ray of golden light hit Li Changshou.

　　The golden light tugged gently. Li Changshou was still a little stunned. The huge Tribulation Cloud flew over on its own and began to circle above his head.

　　“Grandmaster?” Li Changshou was stunned.

　　“Why?” The Dao Ancestor said coldly, “Shouldn’t you suffer what’s left of your junior sister?”

　　“Yes, yes. Thank you for taking care of Ling’e, Grandmaster.”

　　Li Changshou glared at Ling’e and then bowed respectfully.

　　This is the correct Tribulation Transcendence posture!

　　“Thank you, Heavenly Dao, for taking the time to strike!”

　　“Yes.” The Dao Ancestor’s face slowly dissipated, leaving behind a chuckle and a murmur.

　　“It’s better to strike you.”

　　Crash!

　　Thousands of purple-red lightning bolts fell like a waterfall. Without any explanation, they wrapped Li Changshou’s body and did not dissipate for a long time.

　　The heavenly might and lightning made the immortals with the highest cultivation levels in the Heavenly Courts break out in cold sweat and shiver…
