Chapter 1838: Chapter 921: 5 Element Coins_4
“Yi Yuan Dao Palace.” But she remembered that this was the territory of Emperor Chen Qing, and since she had only just reached the Golden Core stage, she still spoke.
Hearing this, Song Huangdae thought to himself, “Just as expected,” while Niu Manfeng, who followed in, had her mouth wide open, looking incredulous.
The name of the Eastern Earth Holy Land, she had heard from her teachers in her first year at the Longevity Academy.
At the same time, there were rumors that Chen Immortal Venerate of their Five Elements Sect was a Taoist Child from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, nurtured in the Eastern Wilderness.
Song Huangdae: “May I ask the honorable senior’s name?”
Upon hearing that it was Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Song Huangdae didn’t keep up any pretenses and immediately adopted a respectful attitude, addressing her as senior.
After filling out all the information, Song Huangdae handed the sealed visa document to Xiao Yuli with both hands.
“Does senior have a place to stay? Would you require our Five Elements Sect to make arrangements?”
“That would be fine.”
Xiao Yuli came this time specifically to meet Emperor Chen Qing; since she revealed her identity, she definitely intended to make contact with the Five Elements Sect.
Song Huangdae immediately got up and took her to the North Abyss Mountain Peak.
There were some vacant Fourth Rank Cave Abodes there. After notifying E Yun with the Heavenly Communication Device, he arranged for Xiao Yuli to stay in one of them.
“Senior, the highest point over there is the Sect Leader’s private courtyard. Occasionally, he and his wife will stay there for a while, and it’s also a key formation point with many restrictions—it’s rather dangerous…”
Song Huangdae pointed to the courtyard underneath the Fourth Rank Longevity Wood and reminded Xiao Yuli to avoid wandering off.
The small Reversible Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation of Northern Abyss City has been renovated over the years, personally arranged by Song Huangdae and his team, but the Earth Network Great Formation and Fifth Rank Spirit Vein are still in progress. After Yi Shaoqing failed to reach the Golden Core stage, he led the elite of the Formation Division of the Five Elements Sect, primarily in charge of this.
Xiao Yuli also naturally sensed the intricate and dense restrictions beneath the Longevity Wood, feeling that it was a very formidable formation, one that she would be powerless against even if she got trapped inside.
At this moment, she felt a bit regretful for coming directly to Northern Abyss City.
If Emperor Chen Qing had any negative feelings towards Yi Yuan Dao Palace, wouldn’t she be stepping into a trap?
Boom!
Just as Xiao Yuli was preparing to enter her Cave Abode, a rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky.
Not long after, dark clouds began to gather from all directions, accompanied by bursts of explosive nature’s spiritual energy, creating a scene that all cultivators in the Tianhe Realm feared like a fierce tiger.
Heavenly Tribulation!
Xiao Yuli frowned, looking at the center of the tribulation clouds, surprisingly located right next to a Fourth Rank Cave Abode at the center of the Longevity Wood.
Who is undergoing the tribulation?
Just as this doubt arose in her heart, a middle-aged cultivator donned in a red-black long robe flew out of the Cave Abode. His entire body was adorned with scales, blue like crystal, forming a barrier, while on his head, a flying sword resembled a hairpin, glinting brightly.
What caught Xiao Yuli’s attention, however, was the flying sword surrounded by a water-wood spirit light, floating beside the middle-aged cultivator.
With her Artifact Refiner skills, she naturally recognized that this flying sword was actually the middle-aged cultivator’s Lifespan Artifact.
But only Golden Core Cultivators could refine a Lifespan Artifact, so how could someone who hadn’t even undergone the tribulation possess one, and already wield it with such mastery, not appearing to have taken it from someone else?
“Master!”
At this moment, Song Huangdae beside Xiao Yuli exclaimed in alarm, looking tensely at Liu Wenbo, who was facing the Heavenly Tribulation mid-air.
“Is he your master?”
Xiao Yuli politely asked, and Song Huangdae nodded. Before he could say more, two beams of spiritual light flew up, revealing the two Golden Core cultivators from the Five Elements Sect stationed in Northern Abyss City.
E Yun and Luo Yixuan.
“Greetings, fellow Taoist. I am E Yun, acting Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect.”
After flying over, Luo Yixuan went to assist Liu Wenbo, who was undergoing the tribulation, while E Yun approached Xiao Yuli, courteously greeting her.
“Greetings, Taoist E.”
Xiao Yuli calmly returned the greeting after hearing this.
And not far away, the heavenly tribulation had already been triggered.
Bolts of thunder flashed relentlessly, striking down on Liu Wenbo.
The Green Scale Arm Guard, powered by Liu Wenbo’s Golden Core Stage spiritual energy, unleashed its full power, consecutively blocking six Third-Fire Heavenly Thunders, only then did all the blue scales on it shatter.
As the seventh heavenly thunder descended, Liu Wenbo raised his hand to touch the Flying Sparrow Hairpin atop his head, but after hesitating, he still did not use it.
He focused his upgraded Rank-3 Lifespan Scepter of Azure Ripples, the blade flowing like water, yet carrying the bright Sacred Tree Divine Light, executing the sword technique from the Longevity Scripture, dispelling each wave of fire attribute heavenly thunder.
However, Liu Wenbo soon felt the Scepter of Azure Ripples emitting a mournful sound, indicating that the lower-grade Rank-3 flying sword was struggling under the heavenly tribulation.
He sighed and took out a piece of black cloth from his storage bag.
For his eldest disciple’s tribulation, Chen Mobai naturally had arranged for him a Xuan Guang Soap Carving Flag Fragment from Qing Nu.
But Liu Wenbo, being kind-hearted, thought that the tribulation might damage the elemental energy of his master’s artifact, so he first used his own artifact to withstand it. However, being the symbol of the eldest disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, he was reluctant to use the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.
Once the black cloth was summoned, Luo Yixuan, who had been frowning at the side, immediately relaxed.
She knew the tribulation was now stabilized.
After all, back then, her own formidable heavenly tribulation couldn’t even shake this black cloth, let alone Liu Wenbo’s tribulation, which was nearly over.
Soon, after the black cloth blocked the last two waves of tribulation thunder, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
Liu Wenbo’s face revealed a relieved expression.
This year, he was exactly one hundred and twenty years old.
Detected with a spiritual root at five, began Qi Cultivation at eight, entered the Divine Wood Sect at twenty-five, became Chen Mobai’s disciple at thirty, and became the eldest disciple of the Xiao Nanshan lineage, diligently and cautiously cultivating to this day.
Looking back on this life, when he first set foot on the cultivation path, he was but an innocent child; his dream was merely to become a Foundation Establishment Practitioner like his family’s ancestor Liu Jingxian.
As for forming a Golden Core, that was only something he dared imagine in dreams. And with age, Liu Wenbo increasingly understood that with his talent, even reaching Foundation Establishment would require great fortune.
But now, under Chen Mobai’s careful guidance, after eighty-five years of arduous cultivation, he finally achieved the Golden Core stage, realizing his dream.
All the hardships now felt like the most delicious memories for Liu Wenbo.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother!”
At this moment, Luo Yixuan flew over, smiling brightly and congratulating Liu Wenbo.
“Thank you, Junior Sister Luo, for protecting.”
Seeing her, Liu Wenbo also raised his hand in gratitude.
Though their relationship wasn’t deep over the decades, they were each other’s most trustworthy companions.
As they exchanged a few words, a familiar five-colored auspicious cloud rose from the direction of the Teleportation Array, and soon it arrived close by.
“Hahaha…”
The person hadn’t arrived yet, but Chen Mobai’s hearty laughter already reached everyone’s ears at the mountain peak.
