Volume 1, Chapter 40: Tang Xi Displays Her Might, Slaying a Tribulation-Crossing Cultivator

The purple qi in Sun Daoheng’s chest churned and seemed eager to break free. His complexion instantly turned several shades paler, making it almost impossible for him to continue speaking.

A trace of longing flickered in Qianxue’s eyes. For her, wasn't it the exact same? To be able to meet a man in this lifetime who would use his life to guard and protect her—that was the only extravagant wish a person could ever have in this world.

That was a battle between the primordial mysteries of the Chaotic Samsara Sutra and the Nirvana Scripture, originating in the divine palace, fought within the physical body, and reaching a standoff at the heart.

Pu Deming wore an envious expression. It was entirely normal to sustain a few injuries in a place like this. Pu Deming had been scratched on the face by a magical beast, though the wound was less than a tenth the size of Ling Xiao's. After applying some medicine, he could now feel a dull ache.

Mo Liu acknowledged that this enchanted wind-blade dragon king possessed a certain degree of intelligence, but having a little intelligence and being truly clever were two vastly different things.

However, he could not afford to rest on his laurels just yet; stability was paramount. He needed to make a breakthrough to the seventh tier of the Mortal Shedding Stage immediately and could no longer delay, for fear that prolonged complications might arise.

The Heavenly Crippling Gu was exceptionally skilled at concealment. At first, Qingmu Handan had not regarded this gu worm as something that would endanger Shao Heng, and thus had not actively driven it out until now.

As Ye Bai cultivated in the dead of night, enveloped in a drowsy atmosphere, he suddenly felt something moving around him. He opened his eyes and received such a start that he almost cried out in fright.

The sunlight from high above descended like a slanted beam, within which tiny specks of floating dust were clearly visible, making the ravine appear even more gloomy and secluded.

As spiritual energy continuously poured into it and impurities were expelled, black substances began to ooze from Lin Tianxuan’s skin. These were impurities from within his body; with his meridians now unobstructed, the impurities accumulated in his body were purged along with them.

The biting cold wind blew, illuminated by dim lights. Two figures, one old and one young, stared fixedly at each other. A questioning gaze met calm black eyes, striking sparks that threatened to ignite a prairie fire.

However, after that single breath, the expression of the person beneath him shifted drastically. Her eyes blazed with fury, and with a sudden flip, Moyue You was pinned onto the bed while he loomed directly above her.

Song Ziyang had originally thought that some supreme heavenly treasure, akin to the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, was growing at the bottom of the lake, never expecting to find a colossal coffin suspended there instead.

Liang Feng was the second to follow Yi Xuejia inside, trailed closely by Yu Chen, while Ke Zhenfei and He Zixuan held seats for everyone in the theater.

Immediately afterward, everyone grabbed whatever self-defense weapons they had at home and rushed out the door, everyone except him and Moyue You.

Yet, to Luoluo's astonishment, these turned out to be the areas of her daily activities, even including the spot where the original owner had tumbled down.

If not for this, how could Yang Mi’s intelligence be so ridiculously high, possessing a near-photographic memory and logical reasoning that bordered on defying the heavens?

Seeing this, Luoluo did not persist. There was still a considerable amount of fabric left, enough to make some close-fitting undergarments for the family, which would undoubtedly be very comfortable.

She was unwilling to break up, so he continued to stay by her side. However, he would no longer uphold his previous promise to help her with whatever she wanted to do, no matter what it was.

Just as Yuan Xi was about to speak, another wave of contractions struck. Her face turned pale and sweat poured down like rain, as if her primal instincts had finally been triggered—realizing that the only way to escape the agony was to deliver the child, she suddenly figured out how to push.

If Gu Changfeng had not been in such a hurry, she might not have dared to bring this matter up, as she could not gauge the emperor's and the imperial consort's tempers either.

"Squad Leader One! You go first!" The lieutenant looked toward Zheng Sanpao in the line of veterans, signaling him to begin.

Huang Rong did not say much this time. She scooped up another handful of dirt, mixed it, and smeared it evenly across her arms.

The Venomous-Horned Golden Viper reacted with extreme speed, using its tail to sweep away the two people who were already at the end of their tether, before charging straight toward Li Yusheng's Soul-Breaking Shuttle.

"Go to hell! Fight, go ahead and fight! You're just dogs biting dogs, one day your whole family will be wiped out!" The chubby police chief spat a mouthful of betel nut juice onto the ground and turned to walk outside.

Yu Wei, having scrambled to his feet, paid no heed to the mud on his body and lunged at Su Yang again. Su Yang failed to dodge in time and took a punch to the chest.

She had come over just now because she had understood from her mother's ramblings what had happened at Xu Lifen's house.

"Yes, Company Commander. Since I've become a scout, naturally I must become the best scout. This is my conviction," Su Yang said with a serious expression.

Anyway, he could now travel through time and space. If he could no longer stay here in the future, he could simply switch to a primary plane, with no need to flutter about blindly like a headless fly.

As Li Yusheng continued deeper, the blood grew increasingly viscous the further down he went, almost as if it were about to coagulate. The energy it contained grew more immense, and the temperature was gradually rising.

Logically speaking, his physique, including his meridians, had been forged by absorbing the spiritual spring; no one else's meridians could possibly be stronger than his. The only difference was that he had opened thirteen meridian channels—an unprecedented feat with no predecessor and no successor.

After taking a bath, I walked barefoot into my bedroom, selecting a suitable outfit to wear tonight. I tried on several pieces, but felt none of them were quite right; my wardrobe leaned heavily toward dark colors and athletic styles.

Lin Zhenxi did not linger long. At the exact moment she turned to leave, the fleeting expression she reined in was one he had never seen before. He had no choice but to believe the saying that love teaches people how to grow. In the years to come, he hoped Zhenxi would meet the true love of her life.

Zhou Jian knew that Xiao Xuanran had just woken up and her body was still somewhat weak, and having two children chattering away here would disturb her rest. Therefore, he let her take a quick look at the two kids before sending them back home.

"It's too dangerous. If you go in like this, you might lose your life. You'd better forget it," Li Ru advised from the side.

Gu Qiao lowered her head, her gaze instantly locked onto the scattered fragments on the floor. She could hardly believe what was before her; for a brief moment, she even thought she was dreaming. Yet the bright sunlight streaming through the window reminded her that this was unequivocally not a dream.
