I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1713: Little Ling’s Tribulation Transcendence

His sun swallowing mission had been successfully completed.

At the same time, he created a new legend by becoming the first living being to swallow a sun!

Just this achievement alone should have been able to strike awe into the hearts of many should word of it spread.

All of An Lin’s friends were also in admiration toward him. Even Xuanyuan Cheng was revering An Lin a little. A living being who could swallow a sun demanded respect wherever he went!

An Lin emerged from within the coffin and stretched his body. His skin was still trembling and pulsing uncontrollably, clearly still traumatized from that nightmarish experience from earlier.

“Giant An Lin, are you alright now?” Tina flew over with a concerned expression.

An Lin nodded. “I’m fine now. Let’s go back.”

“That’s great! You go back first, I still have something I need to do in the Divine Mirror World. The Divine Mirror World will be temporarily closed for forty-nine days, and I’ll see you after forty-nine days.” Tina smiled.

“What are you doing?” An Lin asked.

Tina blinked mischievously. “It’s a secret, but it’s something good. When I come out, I’ll give you a huge surprise!”

A hint of anticipation appeared in An Lin’s heart upon hearing this.

Everyone began to exit the Divine Mirror World.

Life resumed normalcy.

All of them were either cultivating or began going on missions.

Dongfang Zhuangshi took his Chaotic Life Core to the city of time in order to use the Chaotic Life Core to try and stabilize Dongfang Mengjie’s life before engaging in all sorts of experiments with the end goal of resuming the passage of time for Dongfang Mengjie.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hong stated that she was going into seclusion for the very first time, which gave An Lin a massive fright.

Xiao Hong had always been super lazy, why was she suddenly going into seclusion?

After that, An Lin discovered that Xiao Hong’s seclusion was just her engaging in photosynthesis alone atop the Full Moon Mountain. Basically, nothing changed aside from the fact that she had moved to a different location.

An Lin’s days were spent fighting with Da Bai, discussing Heaven Crushing Techniques with Little Tian, devising some spell technique combinations with Xiaolan, and sampling some of the pills Su Qianyun created.

Good times always passed by quickly, and ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.

An Lin’s sun swallowing mission progression bar had progressed to twelve percent.

Aside from that, the Four Nine Immortal Sect welcomed another major event.

Ye Ling was making another breakthrough!

As An Lin’s second disciple, Ye Ling’s aptitude was absolutely extraordinary. She progressed to the Return to Void Stage at just over twenty years of age, shocking the Kingdom of the Nine States and even the entire Tai Chu Continent.

She was rated as the number one young prodigy of her generation. Missing An Celestial Immortal, the number one goddess of The United University of Cultivation, the number one immortal assassin of the Kingdom of the Nine States… All of these titles and accolades rained down upon her, making her an extremely dazzling figure to the public eye.

Just as everyone thought that she was going to continue in the same vein, her cultivation base suddenly stalled for several decades. This would have been normal for other Return to Void Stage mighty figures. For them, a stall in their cultivation bases, even if it was for tens of thousands of years, was within expectations. However, Ye Ling’s aptitude defied the natural order, and she had only taken just over twenty years to progress to the Return to Void Stage, so it didn’t make much sense that she would be unable to progress to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage even after eighty years.

Some said that the heavens were jealous of her aptitude and cut off her path of cultivation.

Some said that Ye Ling’s aptitude had all been spent in the earlier stages of her development, and she would remain at the Return to Void Initial Stage for the rest of her life.

There were even some malicious individuals who speculated that Ye Ling had only reached her current cultivation base through the use of a massive amount of pills. Normal prodigies could never progress so quickly, and she only reached the Return to Void Initial Stage due to good luck, but this was the extent of her abilities.

Of course, all of those negative opinions were going to be quelled today.

Ye Ling’s eyes were tightly closed as she sat with her knees folded upon the dao plaza. Her long, flowing hair had been tied into a neat ponytail, and she wore her usual tight-fitting black daoist robe that accentuated her curves to perfection.

Lord of Transcendence An Lin was personally acting as her guardian.

He looked up into the sky, as if he was delivering a silent warning to the Golden Void Lightning: She’s my disciple, so you better not hurt her!

Dark clouds quickly surged in the sky above, and thunderclaps rumbled as divine lightning crackled.

“Hopefully, the lightning tribulation isn’t going to be too insane…” An Lin was a little concerned.

“Don’t worry. Little Ling’s tribulation transcendences have always been quite normal.” Xu Xiaolan said with a gentle smile, “Regardless of whether it was her progression to the Soul Formation Stage or to the Return to Void Stage, all of her lightning tribulations have been very ordinary, as had been the power of the lightning. For a supremely talented being like her, those were just formalities.”

An Lin was taken aback upon hearing this.

“That’s not right. Shouldn’t lightning tribulations be more out of the ordinary the more supremely talented a cultivator was? How could Ye Ling’s lightning tribulations have been so ordinary?” An Lin was perplexed.

Xu Xiaolan explained, “Ye Ling is a freak among freaks, so her tribulations should be extraordinary among extraordinary tribulations. Extraordinary among extraordinary is ordinary, so her lightning tribulations are very ordinary.”

An Lin’s mouth gaped open upon hearing Xu Xiaolan’s theory.

Was that a viable explanation? Was this supposed to be a case of two negatives made a positive?

Was she serious?!

Right at this moment, a bolt of golden divine lightning tore through space and crashed upon Ye Ling’s head.

Boom!

Terrifying lightning might surged through Ye Ling’s body.

Ye Ling took the bolt of lightning, seemingly a little lazily.

An Lin: “…”

Boom boom boom…

The tribulation had begun!

Bolt after bolt of Golden Void Lightning fell upon Ye Ling with terrifying might.

Ye Ling’s aura continued to climb and become more powerful.

Soon, all forty-nine bolts of Golden Void Lightning had passed.

The tribulation clouds dissipated.

Ye Ling opened her bright eyes, stood up, and stretched lazily. Her cheeks were still lightly flushed, making her appear particularly beautiful and enticing.

“Master, I successfully transcended my tribulation!”

An elated smile appeared on her face.

An Lin’s stared at her with incredulity on his face.

That was a tribulation transcendence? You call that a tribulation transcendence?!

An Lin truly felt the unfairness of this world. Those bolts of tribulation lightning couldn’t even scratch an itch for him, but that was it?

If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Ling’s cultivation base really had risen to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, An Lin would have been tempted to think that that was a fake lightning tribulation.

How could this be? It didn’t make sense…

An Lin recalled back to his personal experiences with tribulation transcendence, and he was suddenly struck by the urge to cry.

Xu Xiaolan was already used to it and didn’t have much of a reaction to this. However, the first time she witnessed Ye Ling transcend a tribulation, she felt very much the same way as An Lin.

“Master…” Ye Ling called in an expectant voice as she stared at An Lin with her large, bright eyes.

An Lin could tell that her eyes were screaming: Praise me!

F*ck off! He was looking for someone to comfort him!

“Little Ling is the best!” An Lin praised.

He thought to himself for a moment before adding, “Don’t get complacent, and keep up the good work.”

A sweet smile appeared on Ye Ling’s face. “Thank you, Master, I’ll be sure to keep it up. I’m going to start preparing for my tribulation transcendence to the Return to Void Final Stage now.”

An Lin: “???”
