Chapter 1188: A piece of bad news for the world of cultivation

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Senior White had previously been grinding for several days for guided missiles, nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and some other weapons inside the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. However, after hearing from Song Shuhang that these weapons could not explode in the main world, he lost the motivation to continue the grind.

In the end, after grinding for a few more weapons, he concluded his tribulation in advance and became a Profound Sage. After giving his speech, he immediately went to eat.

And now, there was a ‘heavenly tribulation battleship’ right in front of him. It was majestic and held rather impressive power, though to him it was not really that powerful.

However, the most important thing was that this thing could open fire in the main world.

Senior White suddenly regained the motivation that he had lost, and he was once again filled with enthusiasm.

Senior White loudly asked, “Fellow Daoist Beifang, were you just about to disperse that battleship? Is Little Cai no longer going to transcend her tribulation?”

The Great Northern Emperor replied, “A problem came up while Little Cai as she was using a secret technique, so she’s no longer transcending this tribulation.”

Little Cai said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

She was so nervous that she accidentally recited the incantation an extra time and failed to live up to her teacher and seniors’ expectations.

Senior White asked, “Then... can I take the battleship?”

The Great Northern Emperor: “?”

Senior White said, “Anyway, Fellow Daoist Beifang, your objective is to smash the battleship, so you can just let me handle it.”

The Great Northern Emperor smiled, and said, “Since Fellow Daoist White wants to make a move, then I’ll be leaving this to you.”

After saying that, the Great Emperor scattered the ice spear beside him.

In all honesty, his identity was quite sensitive right now, so if he could avoid making a move, that would be for the best.

Senior White said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Beifang.”

Sure enough, birds of the same feather flock together; all the fellow daoists that little friend Song Shuhang knows are of good character.

Senior White rose in the sky and brought out Meteor Sword from its sheath. After that, he transformed into sword light and rushed towards the battleship in the sky.

❄️❄️❄️

In the sky, the battleship that was gathering power suddenly froze. Originally, the light in the muzzles of the cannons had been glowing brighter and brighter. However, all of a sudden, the three rows of cannons seemed like they had been stunned, and the lights in their mouths deflated.

At that moment, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen came out of the immortal cave and saw the scene of the tribulation. As soon as Song Shuhang raised his head, he saw the scene of Senior White rising into the sky and the three cannons of the battleship seemingly becoming stunned.

Song Shuhang asked, “Am I seeing things? Is the heavenly tribulation actually afraid?”

The heavenly tribulation should not have any consciousness; wasn’t it a set process that was aimed at cultivators to prevent them from reaching the next realm prematurely? How could it feel fear?

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “To be honest, if I were the heavenly tribulation, I would be afraid as well.”

When Senior White had transcended the heavenly tribulation of the Eighth Stage, was it really him who transcended the heavenly tribulation? Or was it actually the poor heavenly tribulation that had to transcend him? Senior White’s heavenly tribulation was probably the most unfortunate heavenly tribulation of all time.

The Great Northern Emperor frowned, and said in wonder, “The heavenly tribulation is naturally without consciousness. It’s a manifestation of the principles of the world. Could it have mutated because it was ‘oppressed’? In that case, what special magical treasures does Fellow Daoist White have with him? Or did he do something else?”

The heavenly tribulation was not afraid, but was subjected to a kind of ‘oppression’, which forcefully caused the cannons that had been gathering energy to lose it. However, was it really possible for cultivators to oppress the heavenly tribulation, which was a manifestation of the world’s principle?

Shi raised her hand. “I know, but everyone probably knows this as well. Senior White was grinding the heavenly tribulation.”

“Huh?” The Great Northern Emperor’s cold face was filled with confusion.

“Senior White had previously gone to transcend the heavenly tribulation of the Eighth Stage, which had modernized weaponry, such as guided missiles and hydrogen bombs. Senior White felt that they were very interesting, so he sealed them up and kept them one by one. After that, he continued to grind the heavenly tribulation for a few more days.” Shi was a good girl and answered the question.

The Great Northern Emperor: “...”

Sealing the heavenly tribulation and keeping it? This Fellow Daoist White... is he some human-shaped bug in the world of cultivation?

While they were speaking, White had already reached the side of the battleship.

He extended his hands to give the battleship a few hits.

“Pat, pat, pat.”

With each strike, an extremely complicated rune was branded onto the ship, and these runes quickly formed a seal chain.

In just two breaths of time, the entire ‘heavenly tribulation battleship’ had been sealed.

Senior White felt satisfied.

He stretched out his hands and directly kept the battleship into his spatial equipment.

Heavens, he really sealed and kept it inside his spatial magical treasure? The corners of the Great Northern Emperor’s mouth twitched.

Perhaps... that sealing technique was also a good way to deal with the heavenly tribulation.

Senior White regretfully said, “Unfortunately, there’s only a single battleship.”

Additionally, the power of the battleship was quite weak. Its power was only somewhere between the peak of the Third Stage and the Fourth Stage. However, its appearance was really good, and it did have some research value.

“If only I could get a few more ships.” Senior White sighed and descended to the ground.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang asked, “Did you film that?”

Su Clan’s Sixteen replied, “Nope.”

“I took a video, but I won’t show it to you,” Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said. “I’m going to treasure this scene.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

Shi said, “Senior Brother Song, I filmed it as well.”

Song Shuhang said, “Good job, Shi. Give me a copy, I’m going to send it to the group.”

“Mm-hm, okay.” Shi nodded cutely.

This little girl is sensible and cute, and she also cooks and does chores. Additionally, she also takes classes very seriously. Apart from her loving to watch TV all night and occasionally sleeping in, she could be said to be perfect. Moreover, her watching TV and sleeping in are also cute points.

If I have a daughter in the future, I’ll have to make sure she’s as cute as Shi, Song Shuhang thought to himself.

After Senior White landed, the Great Northern Emperor said, “The heavenly tribulation has ended. Little Cai, you will have to slowly recover your energy and cancel the secret technique. After a while, when you’ve recovered from the backlash of the secret technique, you can try to transcend the tribulation again. At that time, everything will be up to you.”

Little Cai earnestly replied, “I understand. Thank you, Senior.”

...Next time, she would definitely not fail again. She was ‘Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman’, the first disciple of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. She would never allow herself to disgrace her teacher again.

At this time, Song Shuhang went beside Little Cai. When he saw how dejected she was, he sighed, squatted down, and patted Little Cai’s head gently.

Little Cai softly said, “I’m sorry, Teacher. I’ve disgraced you.”

Song Shuhang said, “F*ck, if you hadn’t said that, I would have completely forgotten that point.”

Little Cai: “...”

Song Shuhang gently said, “You have to pay more attention next time, transcending the tribulation isn’t a joke. It isn’t permissible to make a single mistake. The mistake you made this time was simply too big. This time, you were lucky to have Senior Beifang and Senior White watching over you. As such, even if you failed this time, there were still people who could help you disperse the heavenly tribulation. But what if the next time there isn’t anyone watching over you? You have to remember that there won’t be someone there to protect you every time you transcend a tribulation.”

Little Cai replied, “Yes! Teacher, next time, I will definitely transcend the tribulation without making any mistakes.”

“Mm-hm,” Song Shuhang said softly. “Deactivate the secret technique; the longer you maintain it, the stronger the backlash will be. In serious cases, the price you would have to pay is quite high.”

“Yes, Teacher.” Little Cai let out a breath of air, and was about to retract the secret technique.

But right at this moment... A new cloud had begun to gather in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a brand-new ‘heavenly tribulation battleship’ appeared.

It was still the same model, and the same three sets of cannons locked onto Little Cai.

“???” The Great Northern Emperor and Senior White both looked puzzled.

Didn’t the heavenly tribulation just get sealed?

Sealing it and shattering it should produce the same effect. They were interferences from outsiders that would forcibly put a stop to the wave of the heavenly tribulation. As such, it was reasonable to assume that the heavenly tribulation would temporarily come to an end.

Why did the heavenly tribulation reappear?

Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, “No, there is a mutation in this heavenly tribulation. I remember that the previous battleship was numbered 666, but this one’s numbered 777.”

“Could it be that Little Cai’s heavenly tribulation hasn’t ended yet? Is she going to continue to transcend it?” The Great Northern Emperor frowned. “Could it be that after the heavenly tribulation has modernized, scattering or even destroying it no longer has any effect?”

Senior White said, “I’ll disperse it this time.”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and the tree of virtue appeared behind him.

Afterward, Senior White extended his hand and casually broke off a branch from his tree of virtue.

Senior White reached out to the branch and quickly drew on it.

In the blink of an eye, a ‘disposable flying sword’ had been made.

Song Shuhang said, “Heavens!”

The tree of virtue also had this function?

In the next moment, Senior White picked up the sword and sent it flying into the sky towards battleship no.777.

“Boom~”

As soon as battleship no.777 appeared, it exploded into pieces.

However, it was the same as before.

A moment later, tribulation clouds began to gather in the sky once again.

Battleship no.888 made its grand debut, and once again aimed its cannons at Little Cai.

Senior White sighed, and said, “This is some really bad news.”

After the modernization, even if it was blown up, the tribulation would not stop.

This meant that the practice of ‘seniors watching over from the side, ready to disperse the heavenly tribulation for their juniors if a problem arose’ would no longer be a viable option.

It could easily be imagined that in the future, the number of practitioners in the world of cultivation failing to transcend their tribulation and the number of deaths in the world of cultivation were going to rise greatly.

The heavenly tribulation had become more dangerous, and there was no longer a path of retreat.

Senior White said, “Little friend Shuhang, go to the group and tell the fellow daoists about this. Recently, there’s quite a big number of disciples who are about to transcend their tribulation, they will have to be careful. It would be best for them to make more preparations and not transcend their tribulation without being completely certain of success.”

Song Shuhang replied, “On it.”

In the sky, battleship no.888 remained locked onto Little Cai.

“It seems that I might have to forcefully intervene in Little Cai’s heavenly tribulation. Although the power of the heavenly tribulation might go up to the Eighth Stage, as long as I’m careful, I should be able to handle it.” Senior White held his chin, and said, “Although it’s quite boring to grind nuclear bombs, there’s no problem with doing it again.”

The Great Northern Emperor said, “I’m afraid that if Fellow Daoist White intervenes, the power of the heavenly tribulation will directly rise to the Ninth Stage.”

While they were talking, the virtuous lamia suddenly made a move. She went behind Little Cai and wrapped around her. After that, she used a secret technique.
