Chapter 333: Chapter 230: Cultivation World 20
The fifth and sixth Heavenly Tribulations followed one after another, each more powerful than the last.
...
By the time the ninth Heavenly Tribulation descended, Si Lingle was already exhausted.
Si Lingle summoned two Defense Spiritual Treasures to resist the tribulation.
However, both Spiritual Treasures were instantly shattered by the tribulation, which then struck Si Lingle, causing a piercing pain. Yet, relying on her tenacious willpower, she withstood the tribulation’s onslaught.
After successfully enduring the Heavenly Tribulation, the swirling dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the raging winds gradually calmed.
The space once ravaged by lightning, full of scars and holes, slowly returned to tranquility.
A dazzling rainbow-like light descended from the sky, gently enveloping Si Lingle’s body like a beautiful ribbon.
This light seemed to contain the purest energy between heaven and earth, seeping into Si Lingle’s body, healing the wounds she suffered during the tribulation, and gradually stabilizing and strengthening her aura.
Si Lingle stood quietly in the glow, her eyes slightly closed, feeling the surging energy within her.
Si Lingle could clearly sense her understanding of the Sword Dao achieving a qualitative leap at this moment, as those sword-related problems that once troubled her dissipated like clouds and mist, bringing an unprecedented clarity to her mind.
As time passed, Si Lingle felt the Power of Laws gently fall upon her, signifying heaven and earth’s recognition of her breakthrough.
Si Lingle returned to her cave to stabilize her cultivation.
After more than three years, Si Lingle’s cultivation stabilized.
Following the breakthrough, Si Lingle continued her closed-door training to enhance the Four Arts.
After ten years of seclusion, Si Lingle finally emerged.
Her cultivation had advanced to the Third Level of Nascent Soul, and her talisman rank reached the Seventh Rank, with her array, artifact refining, and alchemy levels all at Upper Grade Sixth Rank.
And now she was already sixty years old.
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage at fifty, with Dual Spirit Roots, made her one of the youngest to do so in the Lower Qingxuan.
After coming out of seclusion, Si Lingle looked at the Star Spirit Fruit Tree. In ten years, it had survived and grown to over fifty centimeters tall.
Si Lingle sent a message to her mentor, who had also come out of seclusion. Upon receiving Si Lingle’s message, he came to her cave dwelling.
Seeing the Star Spirit Fruit Tree, Yi Heng Daojun accepted it, while he helped hand over one to the Sect Master.
Si Lingle also received rewards from the sect, including Contribution Points and Spirit Stones.
"Thank you, Mentor." Yi Heng Daojun personally delivered the rewards to Si Lingle’s cave dwelling.
"Disciple, let’s talk,"
Si Lingle nodded.
Yi Heng Daojun then talked about the major events that had occurred in recent years.
In the Lower Qingxuan, many Sealed Demon Lands had been discovered. These sealing sites were not only in Secret Realms but also in sea areas and on land.
Some were even beneath the spiritual veins of some sects.
Some of these Sealed Demon Lands had very firm seals, while in some places the seals were already damaged, and demonic qi was leaking out.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Demons had not broken through the seals to escape; otherwise, there might have been battles in the Qingxuan Realm.
All major sects sent Array Masters to reinforce the seals and arranged for people to guard these Sealed Demon Lands, preventing the Demon Clan from causing trouble.
"Disciple, in a little over a hundred years, the Heavenly Palace will open, allowing cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage to enter. I will be going at that time. During this hundred-year period, strive to enhance your cultivation."
"It’s best if you can elevate your cultivation to the late-stage Nascent Soul or Great Perfection. Of course, if you can break through to the Out-of-Body Stage, even better."
"Yes, Mentor. I will work hard on my cultivation," Si Lingle nodded.
Yi Heng Daojun also inquired about Si Lingle’s cultivation and the Four Arts.
The two discussed for over an hour before Yi Heng Daojun left.
Si Lingle left the sect, used a teleporter, and delivered the Star Spirit Fruit Tree Seedling to the Nine-tailed Cat Demon Clan.
The Demon Venerables were deeply moved, continuously praising Si Lingle’s thoughtfulness, and intended to give her more things, but she declined.
She returned directly to the sect.
Several days later, Si Lingle received a sect task; the sect was recruiting disciples.
She was to escort Foundation Establishment Disciples to the Mortal Country.
The sect dispatched six Foundation Establishment Disciples in total.
"Greetings, True Monarch Yunhua," the six disciples said in unison.
"Yes," Si Lingle nodded, then returned to her room.
Traveling from the Cultivation World to the Mortal World would take more than a month.
