Chapter 1023: Before the Tribulation

Principal Wu Yao and Principal Wu Zhou nodded their heads when they heard from the Immortal Sun Emperor to hide their identities if they were going to watch them break through. Thanks to the help of the Moon Goddess conditioning their bodies to be at their peak during these months, these two brothers had breakthroughs from their original realms. Wu Zhou had reached Quasi-emperor realm while Wu Yao had reached the false-emperor realm. Both realms were under the True Emperor realm. Watching an Emperor break through the Great Emperor realm would allow them to gain some comprehension that might help them break through the Emperor realm.

Tan Shengyu, who is also close to the Emperor realm, pointed at himself and asked, "Master, am I going as well?"

"Of course. Your legacy is from me. If you want to break through to the Emperor realm you will need to kill one." Shen Jueyang said. "And as my disciple, how can you not be there to protect your master? Are you rebelling my disciple?"

"N-No. No. No. Of course not, Master!" Tan Shengyu said. "I love getting struck by lightning the most!"

"Lightning Tribulation of a Great Emperor can instantly turn you to ash. Don’t directly confront it." The Immortal Sun Emperor said then he once again looked at the Moon Goddess and held one of her hands then said, "Xue’er, Xing Xieju might come."

The Moon Goddess stared at the Immortal Sun Emperor strangely and said, "So what? I am not even Hua’er. He must have known that Hua’er had returned home, why would he still care about me?"

"He is cautious by nature. He would definitely come to kill me and check on you. If he learned that you are not Yue Xuehua, he might harm you as well. I am worried. Just ignore him when he arrives," said the Immortal Son Emperor.

Yue Xuexia sighs and while pinching her temples, "Alright. I will ignore him, okay?"

"That’s great," said Shen Jueyang with a smile that is so rare that everyone was stunned.

Yue Xuexia said, "Master, Martial Uncle, please make preparations tomorrow and inform the Hong Brothers as soon as possible. They must not stay at their village tomorrow, the shore would most likely be destroyed."

"Then I will go to see the three brothers after breakfast," Wu Zhou said.

Wu Yao said, "I will also make the preparations for tomorrow."

After the meal, the two principals had taken their leave to do what they must do. One left the Black Cloud Academy to find the Hong Brothers and the other went around the elders informing them about what is about to happen tomorrow. As for those who were left behind, they’ve all gathered at the living room to continue their conversation.

The Goddess of the Moon said, "Grandpa Tan, Grandma Tang and Aunt Xue are to stay at the peak. There is no need for you to come tomorrow. Just stay at the peak and continue your training or if you have something on schedule please do as you please. Uncle Tan will have to go though. Sister Bingyu and Renxue will not come as well. What will happen tomorrow might require the whole academy to activate the defensive formation. Don’t worry. Whatever happens, the formation of our academy is enough to protect everyone here even if a Great Emperor arrives."

Yue Xuexia plans to upgrade the formation around the Black Cloud Academy and make sure that not even a Great Emperor would be able to harm this place. After all, in this academy not only this place is something his master owns, her sisters and subordinates also all live in this place. Even if she and Shen Jueyang left temporarily, the place they treat as home must never be harmed.

Tan Huangyu said, "Leave the peak to us, Mistress."

"We will definitely keep the house safe!" Tang Yuyi said.

The Immortal Sun Emperor looked at his disciple’s wife, Xue Shuyi and said, "Tomorrow, find your children and learn the ancient techniques they had learned from your ancestor. As long as you gain the ability to transform into your phoenix form, the next time something like this happens you will not be left behind."

"Yes, Lord Shen. I will definitely train well," said Xue Shuyi.

Among them, only Tan Shengyu looked like he wanted to cry. Tomorrow he would be brought to a battlefield of the ancient monsters like his master. Though he knew that he would be alright with his master and mistress around tomorrow, it wouldn’t change the fact that he would most likely be the one to get bullied the most. Not only was he the disciple of the Immortal Sun Emperor but also someone who had inherited his master’s legacy. His master’s legacy is powerful enough that almost everyone who was born with fire, light and yang spirit roots were all interested in it. Moreover compared to his master he is an easy opponent to pick on, there is no way he will not have to fight tomorrow. He will most likely be the one who would be the most targeted.

Tan Shengyu said, "Master, can this disciple not go?"

"You will go," said the Immortal Sun Emperor. "Continue your training for today. I need to contact Taiyang and ask them where they are right now."

"I will also be busy for today. I might come home late today," said the Moon Goddess.

Shen Jueyang left the peak to check on his subordinates from the Immortal Sun Empire and the first time he did was to contact Shen Taiyang who was left in his empire to handle the things he left there. As for the Moon Goddess, she went back to her room for a bit. She will be visiting her clans and asking them for help. With the Immortal Sun Emperor breaking through the Great Emperor realm then his protectors during his tribulation must be Emperor realm cultivators as well. To cultivators, the most vulnerable time in their life is during their tribulation breakthrough. Their enemies when they are at their weakest would definitely not waste this chance to take a shoot at them. This is especially true for someone like the Immortal Sun Emperor with lots of enemies under his name.

In her room, the system had come out and asked her for her daily sign-ins.

[Host, do you wish to begin your daily sign-in? Also sign-in at Yueguang Peak?]

The Moon Goddess wasn’t surprised. For her, hearing the voice of her system every morning is already a daily routine.

"Alright, Qiuqiu. Let’s sign-in for both today," said Yue Xuexia.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in today. You have received 10 years of cultivation to be merged with your body?]

"Is it possible to save this? I want to use it on someone else," said the Moon Goddess.

She was actually not in a hurry to cultivate lately. With her soul injuries, even if she cultivates everyday, it would be no different from a balloon leaking air. Whatever cultivation she gathered would only be used to stabilize her soul. She had been doing this training everyday and her regular meditation was enough for state to become stable.

Meanwhile, the system upon hearing the question of the Moon Goddess was stunned. He also didn’t know the answer to this and had to secretly contact the Heavenly Laws if this is allowed. Thankfully, the heavens answered right away and agreed to.

[Permission with the Heavenly Laws to accumulate the years of cultivation from the system rewards had been allowed. I have placed a special orb where you can accumulate these years of cultivation until you finally think of using it. You can also give it away if you want to. You just need to think of how many years of cultivation you wanted to share and have a direct contact with them. Of course, only the limit of the receiver’s body would measure how many years you can give away.]

The Goddess of the Moon said, "I understand."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in to Yueguang Peak. The host had received 100 Moon Essence Dew.]

Yue Xuexia was interested in the rewards she got today. This Moon Essence Dew was the most useful for her Yue family, especially for her siblings. For the Ancient Moon Clan, who cultivate under the blessing of the moon. So most of them only train in the evening bathing under the moonlight and gathering the moon essences in the area. However, because of this they cannot cultivate in the morning much as the sunlight conflicts the energy in their body. But with this Moon Essence Dew, one can slowly absorb it in their body and use it for cultivation.

The Holy Saintess of the Black Cloud Academy asked, "Qiuqiu, I would like to use the Rebate Voucher on the 100 Moon Essence Dew."

[The host had used the Rebate Voucher on the system reward ’100 Moon Essence Dew’.]

[Ding! Congratulations on using the Rebate Voucher and receiving 10000 Moon Essence Dew.]

[The following reward had been deposited to the Space System.]
