Chapter 636 - 635: Preg... Pregnant?

Chapter 636: Chapter 635: Preg... Pregnant?

But the longer Jiang Zuo fought, the more surprised he became.

The Celestial Punishment was actually changing. He had just been slightly injured.

The Celestial Punishment was supposed to be constant. In his previous life, he had found a method to counterbalance it. As long as he used enough Spiritual Qi in a specific way to cover his body and find its weak point, he could avoid any harm from it.

But a moment ago, that method had failed.

Thankfully, he had adjusted in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

’So, the Celestial Punishment has gotten smarter. It’s actually adapting.’

’It’s no longer constant.’

Jiang Zuo muttered to himself, "Looks like I need to end this quickly."

If he dragged this on any longer, he would get injured, and now was not the time to be wounded.

Meanwhile, Ximen Chuihuo was kneeling powerlessly on the ground.

The pressure from the Celestial Punishment was about to crush him to death.

Even while kneeling, he was struggling just to endure.

’It’s pretty pathetic, to be honest. And while I’m used to being in pathetic situations, this feels so incredibly frustrating.’

’I have to stand up. For the Yongxi Flesh!’

’If I don’t even dare to face the Celestial Tribulation, how can I have the courage to eat the meat? How can I have the courage to ask Po Xiao for some?’

’Get up. Stand up. Stand up boldly!’

At that moment, Ximen Chuihuo’s entire body trembled. It felt as if an invisible mountain was on his back, crushing him so he couldn’t move.

But he had to try and stand up.

’The greatest pleasure in my life is eating! Being unable to face the Celestial Punishment means I can’t face Po Xiao. And if I can’t face Po Xiao, how could I possibly ask for meat?’

’What am I supposed to do then?’

’Yongxi Flesh is practically a collector’s item!’

’I absolutely cannot miss out on it.’

At that moment, his knees began to lift off the ground.

But the higher he rose, the greater the pressure became. The moment his knees left the ground, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

PTOO—

But even so, Ximen Chuihuo had to get up. ’If I don’t get up, I don’t get to eat. That’s simply not an option.’

However, just as Ximen Chuihuo was gritting his teeth, preparing to force himself up with all his might, the pressure suddenly vanished.

SMACK! He’d used too much force and fell flat on his face.

"Huh...?" ’What just happened?’

It was only then that he realized he had already advanced to Tier Three. ’So, the Celestial Tribulation is over?’

When he looked up, he discovered that there was nothing in the sky except for Po Xiao.

Po Xiao’s figure seemed so majestic.

’As expected. Po Xiao is so outstanding, it’s enviable.’

’But he still has to give me the Yongxi Flesh.’

After that, Ximen Chuihuo simply lay on the ground. Meeting Po Xiao had certainly made his life more exciting.

If he were the bragging type, he could boast about this experience for decades.

’Who’s ever survived a Celestial Punishment?’

’I, Ximen Chuihuo, have.’

But as Ximen Chuihuo watched Po Xiao, he was a bit surprised. ’Why isn’t he coming down?’

Po Xiao stood on his Flying Sword, remaining stationary in the air.

Ximen Chuihuo wasn’t at all surprised that the other man could use Sword Flight; it would have been strange if he couldn’t.

Before long, Ximen Chuihuo saw the area around Po Xiao begin to change.

Flames began to appear, thunder roared and flashed, rain poured down, and a great wind howled.

Ximen Chuihuo was dumbfounded. ’Does Po Xiao come with his own portable weather system?’

This wasn’t created by Magic.

That’s right, this wasn’t Magic. This was Elemental Power.

Jiang Zuo had just accidentally advanced again. He was now entering the 3.4 Realm.

Advancing a Great Realm would definitely trigger a Celestial Tribulation, and advancing a minor realm meant the Fire Elemental Army would inevitably show up.

Jiang Zuo was already prepared, just waiting to crush those things. ’They show up to get stomped on every single time. I wonder if they’re masochists.’

This time, the Fire Elemental Leader arrived with exceptional arrogance, charging forward on a war chariot.

Today, it had brought a powerful ally: the Wind Element.

The Wind Element was unlike the frail Water Element or the inherently arrogant Thunder Element.

The Wind Element, like their Fire Element, was a good Element that despised evil. Heretics deserved to be eliminated.

’As an Element, one must fight for the Elements!’

’Destroy the heretic!’

Unlike the other Elements, the Wind Element had mobilized its own great army, one no weaker than the Water Element’s.

So this time, the Fire Element was brimming with confidence. It was time to say goodbye to the heretic.

The Fire Elemental Leader brandished its great saber and swung it down. "Charge! For the Elements! For glory!"

Not to be outdone, the Fire Elemental Minions surged forward, some even riding warhorses. They were unstoppable.

"Charge! For our Big Brother! For our Big Brother’s glory!"

"We offer everything to our Big Brother!"

"Charge!"

No matter who it was, with the Fire Elemental Army and its Minions leading the charge, no one could remain a bystander.

The great battle erupted. No one would yield unless they were struck down.

For the glory of the Elements!

For our Big Brother!

And the very instant the battle erupted, Jiang Zuo was already standing on the Fire Elemental Leader’s head.

The Fire Elemental Leader: "I’ve got him pinned down! Brothers, charge!"

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’So noisy.’

「Spiritual Control Sect, The Ximen Family Estate」

Seeing the live broadcast end, Lady Ximen immediately said to Ximen Linglong, "Linglong, call your brother. Ask him if he’s okay."

Lady Ximen didn’t dare to make the call herself. It wasn’t easy being a parent.

"But Big Brother is on Celestial Star. That’s in outer space. How could there be a signal?" Ximen Linglong said.

Sect Leader Ximen replied, "Then how was there a live broadcast? Did you think that didn’t need a signal?"

Ximen Linglong thought about it and realized he had a point. ’Why is that?’

’Oh well. The signal must be really good, probably covers the whole universe or something.’

Then, Ximen Linglong actually managed to get the call through.

Then she heard her brother’s voice, "Hey, Little Sis, what’s up?"

Ximen Linglong immediately replied, "Big Brother, are you okay? The Celestial Punishment didn’t get you, did it? We were all so worried."

On the other end of the line, Ximen Chuihuo froze for a second, then asked in astonishment, "How did you guys know about that?"

Ximen Linglong replied, "It was just live-streamed. Pretty much the entire Cultivation Realm knows by now."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Chuihuo nearly choked.

He then asked, "The whole time I was kneeling... you saw that, too?"

Ximen Linglong said, "We saw."

A cold chill went through him. Ximen Chuihuo felt he would never be able to show his face in the Cultivation Realm again.

It looked like even he, a master braggart, wouldn’t be able to boast about this.

How could he brag about kneeling through a Celestial Punishment? It would just leave a bad taste in his mouth.

Just then, Ximen Linglong asked, "By the way, Big Brother, who was that Crossing the Tribulation with you?"

Ximen Chuihuo opened his mouth, but then paused. "That’s... a secret."

Ximen Linglong pouted. "You can’t even tell your own little sister?"

"Of course not." With that, Ximen Chuihuo hung up the phone.

Ximen Linglong grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Hmph! He’s even keeping secrets from his own sister. No wonder he can’t find a girlfriend."

Once his safety was confirmed, Lady Ximen heaved a sigh of relief.

The weight on her heart was finally lifted.

’He’s safe. Thank goodness.’

Only then did Ximen Linglong look at her mother and ask, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

Lady Ximen’s face was a bit pale, but then she smiled. "Maybe I’m pregnant."

Ximen Linglong’s eyes went wide with astonishment.

PTOO—

Ximen Linglong was just about to say something when Sect Leader Ximen did a spit-take.

’Pre... pregnant?’

’Is she serious or not?’

’This is enough to scare a man to death!’

’Shouldn’t I have been the first to know about something like this?’
