Dong'er tilted her head cutely and blinked her eyes twice.
Though she didn’t understand what Jiang Che meant, she would unconditionally follow his orders.
Of course, Dong'er was his girl, and Jiang Che would never let her take risks unless he was absolutely certain of her safety.
Soon, Jiang Yunhuang’s heavenly tribulation reached its climax.
Old Man Jiang’s martial foundation was formidable—not only did he face the tribulation head-on, he even charged into the curtain of lightning, bathing under the thunder like a demonic god.
This scene was captured live on broadcast.
Many people in Dragon Country (China) were exhilarated—could cultivators really become this powerful?
A human body withstanding such destructive heavenly lightning!
"Holy crap, is this something a human can actually do?"
"Old Man Jiang... is seriously insane!"
But the most shocked were the foreigners.
Due to sparse spiritual energy and inferior cultivation techniques, they practiced the "Borrowed Robes Demonic Art"—a method as exploitative as a pyramid scheme, where only those at the top reaped the benefits while the lower ranks were drained.
Unsurprisingly, these foreigners only had access to the most basic version of the art.
Their strongest cultivator had barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
To them, Jiang Yunhuang single-handedly enduring the tribulation was an overwhelming sight—like a mayfly gazing at the vast sky.
"Damn it, how can someone be this strong? Is he even human?"
"I heard Dragon Country’s spiritual energy is incredibly dense, and their cultivation techniques are far superior... They’ve already surpassed us in immortal cultivation!"
"Flying through the sky, unharmed by lightning... Is this a superhero?"
"At that old man’s speed, I doubt even a nuke could hurt him. The thought of more experts like him emerging... terrifies me."
Jiang Yunhuang continued weathering the tribulation, standing firm amidst the storm of lightning like a lone boat in the ocean.
But if one looked closely, they might spot two sneaky figures lurking near the top of the thunderclouds.
"Dong'er! We’re rich, rich! Your physique is absolutely unmatched!"
Above the thunderclouds, Jiang Che and Dong'er had tricked the heavenly tribulation and slipped in unnoticed.
Jiang Che picked Dong'er up and planted several kisses on her soft cheeks, leaving faint red marks.
[Master is happy, so I’m happy~~~]
Dong'er didn’t fully grasp the situation, but as long as Jiang Che was pleased, she was too.
"We’ve really struck gold."
Dong'er’s Void Body allowed her to bypass the tribulation’s detection entirely.
As for how Jiang Che followed? He exploited a loophole—using his divine skill to mimic her Void Body!
The heavenly tribulation was blind and deaf, proving the saying "Heaven has no eyes" true, letting this bandit sneak in.
Just as Mo Lianxing had said, there was indeed a Thunder Pool at the top of the tribulation!
The pool wasn’t large—about the size of a bathtub—surrounded by intricate thunder runes, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.
Inside the pool were nearly a thousand drops of Thunder Tribulation Elixir!
Each drop was amber-gold, the size of a longan fruit.
In Jiang Che’s system, a single drop of Transcendent-stage Thunder Tribulation Elixir was worth 10,000 points. Not extremely valuable, but the sheer quantity made it a fortune—over a thousand drops meant 10 million points!
And wouldn’t others undergo tribulations in the future?
This was practically a sustainable income stream! Jiang Che even started scheming against the Heavenly Dao itself.
[Darling... there’s so much Thunder Tribulation Elixir here. Could you spare a few bottles for me?]
Mo Lianxing was also drooling over it.
Though not as precious as top-grade spirit stones, who would turn down extra treasures?
As for why Jiang Che suddenly had a Void Body now?
She conveniently chose to ignore that.
She was a smart woman—some things were better left unasked. Playing dumb while still getting spirit stones was the way to go. Jiang Che’s physique might be fake, but his spirit stones were real!
"Heh... how heartless~" Jiang Che smirked.
[Darling, don’t tease me. My heart belongs entirely to you now~]
Mo Lianxing had thrown all shame to the wind, growing bolder around Jiang Che.
For spirit stones, she’d do anything.
[Oh, right! My soul cultivation has reached the Half-Step Creation Realm. Once I regain my physical body, I’ll be a Half-Step Creation powerhouse! When I undergo the Creation Tribulation... you can harvest Creation-grade Thunder Tribulation Elixir!]
She rubbed her hands together eagerly.
"Creation-grade Thunder Tribulation Elixir..."
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. In his system, a single drop cost 2 million points—even more expensive than top-grade spirit stones!
"Let you undergo the Creation Tribulation? Could Earth even handle that right now?"
Mo Lianxing chuckled awkwardly. The Creation Tribulation would undoubtedly devastate the planet in its current state—it’d have to wait until spiritual energy fully revived.
While chatting, Jiang Che didn’t slack off—he swiftly scooped up every last drop of elixir into an oversized jade bottle, leaving the Thunder Pool completely empty.
Meanwhile, outside, the thunderclouds gradually dispersed. Jiang Yunhuang had successfully survived the Transcendent Tribulation!
The aura of the Transcendent Realm radiated from him as he stood mid-air, hands behind his back, his domineering martial presence palpable even from a distance.
[Martial Mark... He condensed a Kingly Martial Mark! A Kingly Martial Mark?!]
Mo Lianxing’s voice trembled.
"Kingly Martial Mark?" Jiang Che’s eyes sharpened.
Legend had it that only the most exceptional talents would manifest a unique Martial Mark upon reaching the Transcendent Realm.
A Kingly Martial Mark was among the most formidable, signifying the potential to become a Quasi-Emperor!
Just then—
A cataclysmic upheaval erupted deep within Kunlun!
"BOOM—"
A deafening roar shook the earth, accompanied by an unfathomably profound energy. The mountains trembled, as if the heavens and earth themselves were awakening.
Instantly, all onlookers paled.
This terrifying celestial phenomenon... resembled doomsday itself.
Even Jiang Yunhuang was stunned—hadn’t the tribulation ended? Was this upheaval caused by his breakthrough?
Jiang Che, however, smiled faintly.
Just as he’d predicted.
With Jiang Yunhuang’s live tribulation and so many "Chosen Ones" and "Destined Talents" gathered, stacking buffs upon buffs—something like this was bound to happen.
"Wife, is this the third 'Gate' awakening?"
"Hmm, perhaps it's even more than that... Kunlun is the ancestral home of all immortals. The awakening of Kunlun's gates will accelerate the resurgence of spiritual energy. Maybe now... the true spiritual revival has only just begun!"

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
