Chapter 632: Chapter 631: The Celestial Tribulation is So Slow

The Saintess Pool

Su Qi stood up, hopped a few times, and tried absorbing some of the Immortal Spiritual Qi.

Jingyue opened her eyes and looked at Su Qi. "What are you doing?"

Su Qi said, "I’m trying to see if my bad luck has kicked in. You all know my period isn’t something that just comes and goes in an instant."

Jingyue said, "No need to test it. Your bad luck won’t be thrown off that easily."

Su Qi was confused. "Why not? Didn’t you say before that bleeding meant my bad luck was confirmed? That everything would be thrown out of balance?"

Jingyue looked at Su Qi and finally said with exasperation, "If your roof started leaking right above your computer, you’d be startled at first. But would you just leave the computer there and wait for the leak to continue?"

"..." Su Qi sat on the ground. "But I bled. Will that affect the Saintess Pool?"

Jingyue said, "As long as you don’t get in the water, it won’t have any effect."

Then Jingyue asked, "You were absorbing just fine. What’s on your mind? Even if you miss your husband, you don’t have to act like this."

Su Qi said, "I just have this feeling he’s doing something behind my back. I want to go out and catch him."

Jingyue said, "Call him. It’ll scare him to death."

Su Qi said, "I only had one phone, and it got destroyed."

Qing Lian said, "But I don’t think Brother Jiang is the type of person who would do something to let you down, Senior Sister."

Qing Lian was telling the truth. That was how he seemed, no matter how you looked at it.

Because Brother Jiang was cold and indifferent to everyone.

Although Qing Lian hadn’t met Jiang Zuo many times, she could tell that aside from her senior sister, Su Qi, everyone else was the same in his eyes.

It was as if Su Qi was the only person Jiang Zuo could see.

So, she was just speaking the truth.

Of course, she also really didn’t want her senior sister to have relationship problems.

Jingyue looked at Qing Lian and said, "Doing things behind someone’s back isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just like how your senior sister goes on missions behind her husband’s back."

"Maybe that’s why her husband is deliberately doing things behind his little worrier’s back."

Qing Lian nodded, looking as if she had just come to a realization.

That put her at ease.

Su Qi, on the other hand, was more worried that her husband had run off behind her back to read her notebook. It was full of embarrassing stories from her childhood.

She had written everything in there.

’It’s so embarrassing!’

’If he reads the whole thing, I’m just going to die.’

It was even more mortifying than when her husband had seen her completely naked before.

’I’ll be too ashamed to go on living.’

Jingyue said, "Just focus on absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi. It’s impossible to run out of here now. If you work hard at absorbing, you might be able to leave sooner."

"However, I’ve discovered something. The male Candidacy Saintess is still on the move."

Su Qi was curious. "How do you know, Senior Sister?"

Jingyue said, "My Summon Card was just unusable for a moment. The Little Wild Cat’s true form was summoned away again. Although it came back quickly, any situation that requires the Little Wild Cat to appear is definitely a major one."

Xueyu said, "Why is the male Candidacy Saintess so strong? There are so many of us, yet we’re no match for him alone."

Her words left everyone feeling dejected.

Especially Jingyue. That male Candidacy Saintess was truly a bit strange.

She had previously learned that he was likely only Tier One, while the tribulation at the Sea of Seven Emotions was for advancing from Tier Two to Tier Three.

That meant the male Candidacy Saintess was most likely Tier Three. But he could actually control the Little Wild Cat, which made no sense at all.

Either he had some special item, or he was actually a Tier Nine powerhouse.

But they still didn’t know the real answer.

Jingyue sighed. It was bad enough that this freak, the little worrier, had been chasing after her since they were kids, but now a male Candidacy Saintess was completely suppressing her, the actual Saintess.

’My tenure as Saintess is so frustrating.’

’This is misery.’

「In the desert of the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.」

Ximen Chuihuo said to Jiang Zuo, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, is it alright to just trigger the Celestial Tribulation directly?"

Jiang Zuo carefully put away the Array Stone. In his current state, it was extremely dangerous for him to move recklessly.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Only then did Jiang Zuo say, "You can trigger it now. Remember, no matter what kind of Celestial Tribulation it is, don’t worry about it. Just focus on Crossing the Tribulation."

"Also, trigger the Celestial Tribulation right next to me. Everyone else, back away."

This left them completely dumbfounded.

Ximen Chuihuo asked, "Are you asking to be inside the Celestial Tribulation, Fellow Daoist?"

One had to understand that a Celestial Tribulation didn’t care about bystanders. If someone else entered its range, its power would intensify. That was a death sentence.

It was already difficult enough for one person to overcome a tribulation. Adding another would only lower the chances of success.

Jiang Zuo didn’t respond, which was a silent confirmation.

Ximen Chuihuo sighed. ’This tribulation today is going to be a big one.’

The Jinling Loach also chimed in, "Hey, isn’t this a bit much? People could die! A Celestial Tribulation is no joke."

In all its long life, it had never seen anyone play around with Crossing the Tribulation like this.

’The Celestial Tribulation isn’t your family pet, you know. That thing is vicious!’

However, Ximen Chuihuo had already made up his mind. Just before the Celestial Tribulation descended, he asked Jiang Zuo, "As far as I know, you still have quite a bit of Yongxi Flesh, Fellow Daoist. If I succeed in Crossing the Tribulation, would you be willing to give me half?"

Jiang Zuo said expressionlessly, "Twenty percent."

’I’m really getting the short end of the stick this time.’

’I should have eaten all the Yongxi Flesh beforehand.’

’I haven’t even had a single bite of the portion Zhong Yiyang has.’

Without any hesitation, Ximen Chuihuo immediately said, "Deal. I will definitely survive this."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Jinling Loach: "..."

Duan Qiao said to the Jinling Loach, "The person you follow has something wrong with his head."

The Jinling Loach corrected it, "He’s the one following me."

Duan Qiao paid it no mind and teleported away with Sweet Potato. It wasn’t like it used to be. The old it could only trail behind the Great Demon, but it had grown to the point where it could go wherever it wanted. (As long as it remembered to come back.)

Once they were gone, Ximen Chuihuo delayed no longer. After giving Jiang Zuo a heads-up, he directly triggered the Celestial Tribulation.

Sure enough, tribulation clouds began to appear, gathering rapidly.

While locking onto Ximen Chuihuo, the Celestial Tribulation also attempted to lock onto Jiang Zuo.

It seemed to be warning Jiang Zuo that if he continued to linger, it would lock onto him directly.

Jiang Zuo remained unmoved. In fact, he found the Celestial Tribulation to be a real slowpoke. ’Can’t you get here any faster?’

Then, the Celestial Tribulation locked onto Jiang Zuo directly. ’Well, no need to run now. It’d be useless anyway.’

The tribulation, which had been a normal one for advancing from Tier Two to Tier Three, immediately began to expand, and a peculiar aura appeared.

Seeing this aura, the color drained from Ximen Chuihuo’s face.

’I don’t think I’m going to survive this.’

Why?

He seemed to sense the aura of the legendary Celestial Punishment.

Although it was very faint, it truly felt like a Celestial Punishment.

Even a tiny bit of that would be enough to kill him.

’Who encounters a Celestial Punishment during their tribulation?’

Besides that freak who had one when advancing from Tier Two to Three last time.

Ximen Chuihuo froze. He glanced at Po Xiao, an unbelievable thought forming in his mind.

’It seems... very possible.’

Ximen Chuihuo collected himself and asked, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, what are my chances of survival?"

Jiang Zuo just said calmly, "Just focus on Crossing the Tribulation."

At that moment, the Innate Two Qi flew out from Jiang Zuo’s body and began to circle around Ximen Chuihuo.

Ximen Chuihuo didn’t ask any more questions. He knew this was Po Xiao’s way of helping him, but it certainly wouldn’t be a huge help. He still had to rely on himself to overcome the Celestial Tribulation.

Besides, the Celestial Tribulation was about to strike. He was out of time for questions.
