Chapter 189: Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm Mingshi Yin crossed his arms and said, “Old Eighth, you’re really courageous to insult master behind his back.”
Zhu Honggong shuddered and said, “Fourth Senior Brother, I wouldn’t dare. Master is still in his prime. Although he’s old, he’s still filled with vigor.”
At this moment, Hua Wudao, Zhou Jifeng, and Pan Zhong cupped their fists and bowed. “Pavilion Master.”
Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Zheng, and Zhu Honggong hastily turned around and saw Lu Zhou sauntering toward them.
Zhao Yue was following closely behind him.
After entering the courtyard, Lu Zhou saw that everyone was here. He asked, “What’s the situation?”
“Junior Sister Tianxin has gone in. Her Blue Waves Technique can be used to lessen the medicine’s effects. With junior sister helping out, there won’t be a huge problem,” Mingshi Yin said.
Lu Zhou nodded and looked at everyone who was gathered here. In the end, his eyes landed on Zhu Honggong and asked, “Old Eighth, why do you look so afraid?” He had seen Zhu Honggong’s knees shaking.
Zhu Honggong wiped the sweat from his face and said, “No, no, I... I’m just worried about little junior sister.” Inwardly, he felt like crying. ‘I’m dead.’ With his master’s strength and cultivation base in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm, it was impossible for his master to miss his words.
“Ye Tianxin cultivates the Blue Waves Technique. It’s capable of reaching the Extraordinary Eight Meridians easily... There’s no need to worry.”
Zhu Honggong was surprised by his master’s reply.
Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin coughed softly and took a step back, afraid he would get dragged into this matter.
Lu Zhou was puzzled by their actions, but he paid them no mind.
Hua Wudao walked over at this moment. He bowed before he said, “Indeed, Ye Tianxin can stabilize the herb’s effects, but her cultivation base is weak. I’m worried she might not be able to handle it.”
“Do you have any suggestions?”
“To be safe... You should try stabilizing the medicine’s effect instead, Pavilion Master.”
Everyone shifted their attention to Lu Zhou.
‘You’re Ye Tianxin’s master. Since Tianxin knows the Blue Waves Technique, it stands to reason that you know it as well. Moreover, you’re stronger than her. You’re definitely the most suitable candidate.’
‘Ye Tianxin is still a recovering patient after all. There’s no way she’ll be able to outdo her old master.’
Hua Wudao’s suggestion seemed reasonable. Everyone clearly agreed with his words.
However, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and shook his head. “Ye Tianxin is enough.” He had just recently stepped into the Divine Court realm and was only at the early Dao-shaping stage. He had not even stabilized his own cultivation base, how was he going to stabilize the herb’s effects?
Boom!
Everyone was anxiously waiting outside when a ripple of energy spread from the room and rippled in all directions. They could clearly sense some Dao Primal Energy in the energy. The Dao Primal Energy was a sign of the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. It was also the foundation for cultivating the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. The golden strands of energy were the Dao Primal Energy.
The Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm was divided into three sub-realms; the Primal Dao, the Primal Chaos, and the Combined Dao. The Primal Dao was the first sub-realm of the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.
Based on this, it seemed like someone had stepped into the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. It was quite clear that Little Yuan’er had successfully broken through!
While the energy spilled into the surroundings, the sky above the south pavilion was disturbed by the intense surge of power.
Everyone appeared delighted.
“Little Junior Sister has achieved a breakthrough!”
“We have another great fighter among our ranks now!”
“Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm... When will I be able to achieve that?”
Naturally, some felt sad as well.
Zhou Jifeng who prided himself on being a genius was slightly stunned as he looked at the energy spilling into the surroundings. Compared to Little Yuan’er, he was just garbage.
Little Yuan’er had entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm after only joining the Evil Sky Pavilion for five years. She had to be a peerless genius to be able to achieve this.
The door did not open. The energy seemed to be spilling continuously.
Bang!
All of a sudden, Ye Tianxin crashed through the door as she was sent flying back.
There was another strong surge of energy...
Lu Zhou merely glanced at Ye Tianxian indifferently before he strode into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw Little Yuan’er shining with golden radiance. Apart from that, she was also bathed in a peculiar energy. The remnants of the Blue Waves Technique could be seen under her feet. The two energies seemed to be in harmony as well.
Little Yuan’er who was seated on the bed with her legs crossed gradually calmed down. The aura she emitted was much formidable compared to before. After a while, she finally opened her eyes.
“Master?” Little Yuan’er appeared puzzled as though she had just awoken from a dream. The Primal Qi around her dissipated.
“Congratulations, little junior sister.”
“Congratulations, little junior sister, for entering the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.”
“Congratulations, little junior sister.”
The congratulatory messages from her seniors entered her ears. Little Yuan’er looked at her own hands and tried to circulate some Primal Qi. She raised her right hand and circulated some Primal Qi again. A Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar that was nearly her height appeared. There was no Golden Lotus under the avatar, and it resembled a golden person. She clenched her fist, and the avatar disappeared.
Little Yuan’er leaped off the bed and said, “Master! I’ve achieved a breakthrough! I’m now in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm as well!”
“On your knees.” Lu Zhou’s voice was light, soft, and stern.
Little Yuan’er was stunned. With an ‘oh’, she kneeled obediently.
“Do you know what your mistake was?”
“I do,” Little Yuan’er answered honestly.
“What is it?”
“I... I don’t know.”
“...” Lu Zhou was speechless.
Mingshi Yin spoke from outside, “Little junior sister, you were impatient and consumed the sable magnolias without consulting anyone! If Junior Sister Tianxin didn’t risk her life to stabilize and lessen the herbs’ effect, you wouldn’t have been able to successfully break through!”
“Senior Sister Tianxin?”
“She’s injured, but it’s nothing serious... She’ll be fine after a few days of recuperation,” Mingshi Yin said.
When she heard this, Little Yuan’er regretted her actions. She lowered her head and said, “I know I’ve done wrong. Please punish me heavily, master.”
“The most important thing is that you know you’ve done wrong and that you’re willing to repent... Rise to your feet and talk,” Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard.
Thud!
Zhu Honggong sat on the floor.
Mingshi Yin frowned and said, “Old Eighth, what’re you doing?”
“It’s nothing... I... I just need some time to get used to this...” Zhu Honggong had never heard his master say something like that.
“I’m warning you... You’d better stay away from me.” Mingshi Yin quickly moved away from Zhu Honggong, afraid that the fool would drag him down.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Little Yuan’er as he said, “You’ve just entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm so you should stabilize it first. Also... cultivate the Supreme Purity Jade Slip from the beginning according to the completed cultivation method I gave you.”
Little Yuan’er nodded vigorously and said, “I won’t let you down, master.” She giggled before she said, “Master, you’re the best!”
Lu Zhou frowned and chided her, “There’s never a serious moment with you.”
Little Yuan’er sat with her legs crossed and began stabilizing her cultivation base.
Lu Zhou walked out of the room with his hands on his back.
When the others saw him coming, they retreated.
Lu Zhou walked toward Ye Tianxin who had a trail of blood at the edge of her lips...
Ye Tianxin was supported by two female cultivators at this moment. She did not seem to be in a good shape. She seemed extremely exhausted. Her aura was weak and faltering.
Ye Tianxin hastily kneeled and said, “I know that I’ve done wrong. I shouldn’t have acted on my own accord.”
“Master, Junior Sister Tianxin was only trying to help little junior sister. That’s why she acted without asking.” Mingshi Yin suddenly fell to his knees to plead for Ye Tianxin.
Zhu Honggong who was standing nearby instantly fell to his knees as well.
Duanmu Sheng cupped his fists and said, “Fourth Junior Brother has a point. Please consider it, master.”
Zhao Yue said nothing. She merely kneeled on the ground.
All of Lu Zhou’s disciples were kneeling at this moment.
Ye Tianxin’s heart stirred slightly. She was unfamiliar with the emotions that welled up in her heart. She mustered her courage and said, “Master, I... I want to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion! Please grant me this wish, master!”
The courtyard fell silent.
Lu Zhou’s gaze was trained on Ye Tianxin.
