Chapter 644: Chapter 72: Miss Shi Begins Tribulation Chapter 644: Chapter 72: Miss Shi Begins Tribulation On the return journey, Shi Liuli was lost in her thoughts.
Even when Luo Yan mentioned his breakthrough to the Soul Storing Rank and entry into the Root Seeking Rank, she merely revealed a faint smile.
Such a smile reminded Luo Yan of when Elder Shi Ding had just departed, and Shi Liuli had to muster her spirits in spite of her grief, causing him to feel heart-wrenched yet powerless.
It seems I must be the one to soothe the sorrow in my wife’s heart!
Luo Yan began to rack his brains again for any Purple Mansion secret medicines he could obtain.
Actually, if Miss Shi were still in her original youthful form, or like Senior Sister An who had given up on thinking, Luo Yan wouldn’t be so troubled.
But if he were to obtain Purple Mansion secret medicine for her, only to raise her suspicions, then it would clearly be a loss not worth the gain.
Just as Luo Yan was exhausting his thoughts on how to deceive…
oh, no, that’s not right, persuade Miss Shi to accept the Purple Mansion secret medicine, he suddenly heard Shi Liuli say:
“Husband, I am planning to form my core tomorrow.”
“Core Formation?” Luo Yan exclaimed in surprise, “Aren’t you…
not aiming for a Second Grade Golden Core anymore?”
“I’ve had some breakthroughs recently and have already reached the threshold of a Second Grade Golden Core,” Shi Liuli said lightly.
“Oh.” Luo Yan then realized that Shi Liuli must have used Art Calculation to figure out various Purple Mansion secret medicines, and with his prior blessings – all the Five Qi Toward Yuan and Lianshan treasure troves, and the rapid increases in her Refining Mansion cultivation – she was able to smoothly reach the threshold of a Second Grade Golden Core.

“Will you protect me tomorrow?” Shi Liuli asked him, seeing that he showed no sign of surprise.
“Of course,” Luo Yan smiled and replied.
???G?.??
The next day, Shi Liuli was already standing aloft above the East Sea, while Luo Yan stood in the distance on the Huangting Kunwu Sword, anxiously watching his young wife.
Honestly speaking, even when Junior Sister Xu, Senior Sister An, and the little fox formed their cores, he had never been so anxious; mainly because, although Shi Liuli had become smart and mature, her previously mediocre strength still left Luo Yan with lingering fears.
Even in the great competition at the White Jade Capital, she relied on sheer luck to slaughter her way into the top twelve before being quickly eliminated by the powerhouses…
But Heavenly Tribulation won’t spare you just because you admit defeat!
When facing Heavenly Tribulation, you either survive or die, what should he do?
“Ah Jing,” he couldn’t help but ask in his mind, “do you have any methods that can disrupt the Heavenly Tribulation and ensure Miss Shi’s successful core formation?”
“Sure,” replied the Kunlun Mirror calmly, “when you see she can’t hold on, you just charge in with your sword.
Then the Heavenly Tribulation will become enraged at you and unleash thunderbolts a hundred times more powerful to strike you down, and your little lady will be able to survive, won’t she?”
“Stop joking, Ah Jing!” Luo Yan asked angrily, “Am I not being serious?”
“Serious?” the Kunlun Mirror asked in a puzzled tone, “But didn’t I remember you saying that your only wish was to ascend to the throne of the skies, and that cozying up to Miss Shi was just to win over Elder Shi Ding to secure a foothold in the Penglai Yuqing View?”
“Now that Elder Shi Ding is no longer here, why do you still need to worry about her safety?”
Luo Yan was rendered speechless by this response and after a long while, he finally said:
“But after all, we are married!”
“Getting married was a necessary measure, a strategy out of no choice.
Isn’t that so?” the Kunlun Mirror spoke leisurely, “Not only Miss Shi, but you’ve also taken three other female cultivators as your Daoist Companions.
Oh right, seems like there’s also a fox, isn’t there?
If you have to take care of every wife…
Can you manage that?”
Luo Yan was dumbfounded but quickly regained his composure and said:
“Senior Sister An, don’t beat around the bush.
Just tell me if you’re going to help with this or not.
Give me a straight answer!”
“Why should I help?” the Kunlun Mirror countered, “You’re the Savior.
Helping you is one thing, but why should I lend a hand to your wives as well?”
“When the time comes, with so many wives and eventually children and grandchildren, an endless lineage – all your kin – am I supposed to help them one by one?”
“Luo Yan, you’d better think this over carefully.
Also, Miss Shi probably doesn’t need my help.
Just watch and you’ll understand.”
Luo Yan was somewhat shocked; it seemed this was the first time he had been rendered speechless by Senior Sister An!
Damn it, since when had this mirror become so shrewd and formidable?
But he had no time to ponder over Senior Sister An’s peculiarities, as the clouds of tribulation had already started to press down heavily above Shi Liuli’s head.
Heavenly Tribulation Lightning filled the sky, plummeting with a shocking force.
Tribulation Lightning in itself wasn’t noteworthy-it was just some low-powered trash-but Luo Yan’s biggest concern was whether Miss Shi could withstand it.
All of a sudden, Shi Liuli waved her sleeve, and countless Flying Swords shot out.
Then came a brilliant radiance as numerous Flying Swords unleashed Sword Dao Techniques, shattering all the surrounding Tribulation Lightning.
Luo Yan was taken aback.
Since when had Miss Shi had such abundant True Yuan?
Hundreds of Flying Swords casting Daoist Magic simultaneously, and her True Yuan was actually able to sustain it?!
It was then that he saw clearly: the Sword Dao Techniques cast by these Flying Swords were of the type that covered a wide area but were remarkably low in power, so in total, they did not actually consume much True Yuan.
The Tribulation Lightning, however, was made of extremely unstable Thunder Balls that would explode and unleash their power upon even the slightest touch from a Daoist Technique.
Thus, they were easily cleared away by Miss Shi.
Such exquisite control left Luo Yan deeply impressed, thinking to himself that if he had had these Flying Swords to protect him during his own tribulation, wouldn’t he have been spared so much distress?
Alas, at that time, Miss Shi was still in her youth and not available for his use…
Bah, bah, bah, what am I thinking?
If possible, I’d rather she remain in her youthful state forever, wouldn’t I?
As he was lost in his thoughts, the second wave of Tribulation Lightning had already started to fall.
The first wave of Flying Swords released by Shi Liuli were all destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation; these were swords that consumed surprisingly little True Yuan and hence were not of particularly high quality, turning to ash at this point.
Luo Yan immediately grew anxious, and then saw Miss Shi, unfazed, deploying a second wave of Flying Swords.
Not a second individual sword, but a second wave of Flying Swords!
Over a hundred of them!
How did she have so many Flying Swords?
Oh, she had been learning Sword Casting for a long time; then it’s fine.
Miss Shi’s second wave of Flying Swords met the second wave of Tribulation Lightning and, following the same tactic, were perfectly obliterated, making one wonder if she was showing off her wealth against the Cloud of Tribulation.
Moreover, the Tribulation Cloud seemed to be losing.
Soon, a third wave of Tribulation Lightning descended, this time composed of the extremely terrifying Bing Fire Divine Thunder.
During Luo Yan’s past tribulation of the Five Elements, he too had encountered this Thunder.
Upon explosion, the power and energy of each Bing Fire Divine Thunder would be absorbed by the others nearby, resulting in a supercharged, colossal Thunder Ball in the end-an adversarial force that the Sword Sea Tactic simply could not handle!
