The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“Damn, is it really this intense?”

Su Jingzhen’s expression showed a hint of astonishment as he looked at the tribulation clouds that had formed in the sky.

The Tribulation Realm was the level where cultivators had to face the tribulations of the heavens.

However, the trials of tribulation weren’t the same for every cultivator.

Depending on their foundation and innate talent, some cultivators might only face one Thunder Tribulation in their lifetime, while others might face three, six, or even nine.

Each Tribulation was a challenge of life and death.

If they succeeded, their strength would soar. But failure would mean death, one’s body and soul obliterated by thunder.

This disparity between the Tribulations was also the reason why the fighting abilities of the Tribulation Realm cultivators could vary drastically.

Earlier, Su Jingzhen had felt something unusual in Qiu Yaoyao’s aura. It didn’t feel quite the same as when he first met her.

And now, to his surprise, she had already broken through to the Tribulation Realm – and had casually summoned a heavenly tribulation.

“It turns out that Sister Yaoyao had planned everything before she came to the Tortoise Sect.

She intended to use the power of the Tribulation to break through the sect’s protective formation all along.”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his eyes growing more excited.

Just by using his divine consciousness to probe the dense thunderclouds, he felt his scalp tingle from the overwhelming power within.

He knew that with his current strength at the Fifth Stage of the True Embryo Realm, switching places with Qiu Yaoyao would only result in his body being destroyed by hardship.

The power difference between them was simply too great.

As his excitement grew, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

“In the novels I read in my past life, didn’t they say that the more people there are in the area of a tribulation, the stronger the tribulation will be?

Right now, Sister Yaoyao’s tribulation is unfolding above Xuanyuan Lake, right above the Tortoise Sect’s headquarters.

Even though the number of disciples in the sect has dwindled, there must still be at least ten thousand people there.

It seems that the cultivation world in reality is a bit different from the novels I have read,” he said.

This thought left Su Jingzhen a bit confused.

Meanwhile, the number of spectators gathered around Xuanyuan Lake continued to grow.

Everyone stared in awe at the overwhelming tribulation clouds in the sky.

Many people held their breath and remained silent.

In the Luo River region, cultivators who had reached the Tribulation Realm were still a rarity.

Most people had never seen such a tribulation scene.

After all, those who had reached the Tribulation Realm would always make thorough preparations, treating every tribulation as a life-and-death test.

They would either undergo the tribulation within their sect, with fellow cultivators of the same realm acting as their guardians, or they would seek refuge deep in remote forests, away from prying eyes.

Generally speaking, tribulations were very private affairs.

However, Qiu Yaoyao’s open display of tribulation in front of everyone was incredibly unusual.

For many Unity Realm cultivators, this was a rare opportunity to observe and learn.

“If we can gain some insight from Qiu Yaoyao’s tribulation, it will be worth witnessing this event.”

“Indeed! Watching someone else’s tribulation is a rare opportunity. If we can learn something, it might give us a better chance in our own future tribulations.”

“If this experience really benefits us, Qiu Yaoyao might even become our benefactor.”

…

Cultivators are mindful of karma. If they benefited from Qiu Yaoyao’s tribulation, they would feel obligated to repay this karmic debt in the future.

As time passed, the tribulation clouds in the sky grew thicker. Occasional lightning and rolling thunder could be heard in the dense cloud mass.

“It is getting closer. The first bolt of heavenly lightning should fall soon.”

“I wonder how many lightning bolts will fall during Qiu Yaoyao’s first tribulation?”

“She belongs to the first sequence of the Heavenly Dragon Race, with an incomparably strong foundation. Her contracted beasts are probably all at the seventh level.

Each of these beasts will probably add one more bolt of Heavenly Lightning.

With her background and power, her first tribulation could rival the strength of cultivators who have gone through two or three tribulations.

…

While the onlookers were excited and full of anticipation, the disciples of the Tortoise Sect under the Black Tortoise Formation were the most worried.

Previously, only the higher-ups of the sect knew about the disturbances above Xuanyuan Lake.

Now, all the disciples stationed at the sect’s headquarters could sense that something was wrong. Even those in secluded cultivation were awakened by the presence of the Tribulation Clouds.

The pressure emanating from the clouds was extraordinary.

Within the range of the Tribulation, every cultivator below the Tribulation realm felt a formless terror pressing down on them.

“What the hell is happening to the Tortoise Sect? Could it be that the sect master is experiencing tribulation?”

“No, that’s impossible. The sect master has already passed through three tribulations and is in the later stages of the Tribulation Realm.”

“Could it be that we have gained another Tribulation Realm cultivator within the sect?”

“But why would they choose to break through right above Xuanyuan Lake? Isn’t this disturbance a bit excessive?”

“No, no! I’ve already investigated it.”

“It’s Qiu Yaoyao of the Heavenly Dragon Race!”

“When did our Tortoise Sect ever have such a big beef with the Heavenly Dragon Race?”

“With the Tribulation Cloud covering the entire area, we have no way out. Does this mean that we’re all doomed to perish under Qiu Yaoyao’s Heavenly Tribulation?”

…

Under the tribulation clouds, every member of the Tortoise Sect was gripped by overwhelming fear.

Even the high-ranking elders, including the Great Elder who guarded the Ancestral Tortoise Hall, wore grim expressions.

The Great Elder glanced at the thunderclouds swirling ominously above, then shifted his gaze to the Black Water Pool, whose surface remained eerily undisturbed.

“With the water of Xuanyuan Lake evaporated and the power of our sect’s protective formation greatly weakened, it won’t be able to withstand the force of Qiu Yaoyao’s tribulation.

We have no choice but to summon the Ancestor Tortoise.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder stepped forward, holding a black staff that glowed with a powerful light.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the black staff into the air, and his aura exploded.

This old man was also a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Realm.

He formed a hand seal and put a spiritual mark on the staff.

Following his lead, all the high-ranking members of the Tortoise Sect, including the Sky Tortoise Envoy, unleashed their auras. Their cultivation levels ranged from the Unity Realm to the Tribulation Realm, forming a powerful collective force.

One after another, they imprinted spiritual marks on the black staff.

The next moment, the brilliance of the staff reached its peak.

Then, the energy converged into a colossal phantom of the Black Tortoise.

Without hesitation, the phantom dove directly into the Black Water Pool.

Moments later, the previously calm surface of the pool roared to life with violent waves and howling winds.

A powerful, turbulent presence rose from the depths of the water.

The elders behind the Great Elder became even more solemn, a mixture of fanaticism and awe shining in their eyes.

“The Ancestor Tortoise! This is the Ancestor Tortoise’s aura!”

“I never thought I’d see the Ancestor Tortoise’s presence firsthand. If our sect survives this crisis, the Ancestor Tortoise might even grant us a stroke of luck.”

…

After murmuring their thoughts aloud, the Sky Tortoise Envoy and the others fell to their knees, their hearts filled with awe and devotion.

As the violent presence intensified, two massive figures slowly emerged from the surface of the Black Water Pool.

One of them was none other than the sect master of the Tortoise Sect.

It was indeed true that this fellow’s secluded retreat was inside the Ancestral Tortoise Hall.

The other, with a head of white hair and a hunched back, leaned on the black cane that the Great Elder had thrown earlier.

His cloudy eyes were filled with sharpness.

His aura was not visible, yet he exuded an immense, boundless pressure.

This was unmistakably the Ancestral Tortoise of the Tortoise Sect.

As the guardian spirit beast of the sect, its cultivation had long surpassed the Unity Realm.

It was extremely easy for him to transform into a human form.

As soon as these two elders appeared, their gaze involuntarily turned to the sky clouds above.

“What a brazen youngster, this must be the first sequence disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race, right?

To have such a spectacle on her first tribulation, it seems that the Heavenly Dragon Race First Rank Sequence truly lives up to its reputation.

This little girl has an incredibly strong foundation.”

With a single glance, the Ancestral Tortoise said this.

There was a hint of appreciation in his words.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of the Tortoise Sect spoke with a somewhat respectful tone, “Ancestral Tortoise, what should we do now?

Just the first-sequence of the Heavenly Dragon Race is not qualified to act so recklessly in our Tortoise Sect.

Either you or I could easily subdue her through the Tribulation.”

As he spoke, a sinister expression appeared on the Sect Master’s face.

However, the Ancestral Tortoise shook his head.

” That is unnecessary.

What will you do after you subdue this first sequence disciple?

Even if you break through to the Celestial Being Realm, and even if I still have some fight left in me, do you really think we can face the Heavenly Dragon Race head on?”

The Ancestral Tortoise’s words once again shocked everyone present.

Obviously, the Ancestral Tortoise was above the sect master.

From his words, the crowd gleaned two crucial pieces of information.

First, their sect master had indeed succeeded in breaking through from the Tribulation Realm to the Celestial Being Realm.

Two, even with the Ancestral Tortoise emerging and joining forces with the Sect Master who had reached the Celestial Being Realm, they still did not dare to confront the Heavenly Dragon Race head-on.

A shadow of darkness fell over everyone’s hearts.

Could it be that even if they summoned the Ancestral Tortoise, they would still end up with the worst possible outcome they feared?

All eyes turned back to the Ancestral Tortoise.

Since he had appeared, the fate of the Tortoise Sect now rested on his shoulders.

No one spoke, everyone waited silently for the Ancestral Tortoise’s decision.

After a moment of silence, the corners of the Ancestral Tortoise’s mouth curled into a smile.

“Let her be.

After she’s done making a scene, I’ll talk to her.

Otherwise, do you think she would dare to openly undergo her ordeal here without the support of the Heavenly Dragon Race?

Now, tell me, what are their conditions, and how exactly did our Tortoise Sect become enemies with them?”

As the Ancestral Tortoise’s voice fell, the thickness of the heavenly clouds reached its peak.

“Boom!”

In the next instant, a silver-white bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.

It was aimed directly at Qiu Yaoyao.
