Chapter 662: Chapter 660: Tribulation
…
Zong Residence.
After Elder Zong ascended to the Eastern Immortal Realm, Zong Silu built a mansion outside the Divine Beast Academy.
In the study, Xiao Susu and Putao were reading books. Besides the sound of turning pages, there was silence.
In the small garden outside the study, Little Lulu was discussing with Little Bell where to hide so that Elder Zong wouldn’t find them.
“Dig a hole and crawl in!” Little Bell said to Little Lulu.
Little Lulu replied, “Grandpa will find us very soon.” Suddenly, she looked toward the flower bushes in the corner, her eyes gleaming, “Let’s dig a hole in the wall—just right, the bushes will cover it.”
“Good, let’s do it that way.” Little Bell immediately went to dig a hole.
Little Lulu stood watch.
Putao, leaning against the window, heard their little conspiracy but didn’t bother with them.
Xiao Susu came over and asked Putao, “Brother, is dad going to ascend soon?”
“Yeah, in the next month or two.”
“Then sister and I, do we also need to hurry and cultivate?”
“There’s no need to cultivate. Just grow normally and you’ll soon be able to ascend to the Divine Realm. But once you get there, it might not be as easy to get together and play.”
“Is it with Little Bell and Little Fengning?”
“It’s not just them. Once we’re in the Divine Realm, we’ll all be just cubs and our strength will have gone from being top-notch to the bottom. We’ll need to work hard on our cultivation and won’t have time to play together casually. Also, dad will have to start all over again once he’s in the Divine Realm.”
“Then it’s better not to ascend.”
“But when the realm is reached, ascension will happen. The Six Realms’s rules are very strict now. This time Uncle Yu and the others came down, it’s all thanks to Ancestor Heng, A.K.A Xiaoba’s master.”
“Xiaoba’s master is so awesome, and so are mom and Sister Mi Qi.”
“Little Mi Qi is a rule ignorer, and such a person might not arise even in a million years. While mom’s soul comes from another world, the rules of this world can’t restrain her much. Even now, they probably wouldn’t dare to.”
“Mom is so awesome!” Xiao Susu exclaimed in admiration.
Putao nodded, “Yes, even the Clan Leader said that mom is a once-in-an-era figure. We can’t use her as a reference for studying, but to be her children is already an immense fortune.”
Elder Zong searched everywhere for Little Lulu, turning over every antler and mouse hole, but couldn’t find her in the end.
Sweating profusely, he returned to the study.
Seeing Putao and Xiao Susu studying in the study, he turned around and went out to continue his search.
He was determined to find his mischievous granddaughter.
In the sky, tribulation clouds began to gather.
Putao’s expression changed, and he said to Xiao Susu, “Dad is about to face the tribulation.”
Zong Silu teleported out from the closed meditation chamber and saw Putao returned. Surprised, he asked, “Putao?”
“We came down for Grandma Ming’s nine-thousandth birthday, let dad focus on the tribulation,” Putao told Zong Silu.
Zong Silu nodded and teleported out towards the outskirts of the Eastern Immortal Capital.
Zi Qi noticed the anomaly in the sky and said to Yu Yan, “Let’s go.”
“Is it Zong Silu about to face the tribulation?” Yu Yan asked.
Zi Qi, “Yeah, you call Yin Zang over. Let’s all observe, maybe we can get some insights.”
“Alright.” Yu Yan sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.
Sally was taking a nap with Little Xiaoba when Little Xiaoba sensed the aura of the Ascension Divine Tribulation and nudged Sally, saying sweetly, “Mom, someone’s about to ascend.”
“Hmm?” Sally woke up, still drowsy and yawning.
Little Xiaoba, swaying its beautiful golden tail, said, “It’s the Ascension Divine Tribulation.”
Sally blinked, then remembered something, picked him up, and teleported out, “It’s Uncle Zong facing the tribulation.”
By the time she arrived, many people had already come to watch.
Sally could only embrace Xiaoba and fly high into the sky, but they were too close to the tribulation cloud here. If the cloud sensed them, it might count her and Xiaoba in as well.
She glanced at Zong Silu sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, already having set up a defensive formation, with Zi Qi by his side as a protector.
Zi Qi looked up in Sally’s direction, accurately capturing her and Xiaoba, and transmitted a message to her—[Leave this place first.]
Sally nodded, then held Xiaoba and avoided the range of the tribulation cloud.
Zulu and Pei Xuan also came over.
Zulu said, “Lin Yuan mentioned he won’t come over just yet because he is also about to face his tribulation and fears the cloud might detect him. Welly, being a demon cultivator, also finds it inconvenient to come.”
“Yes, keep distance. His Majesty asked me to stay further away and just watch from a distance,” Sally told them.
Pei Xuan was surprised, “Isn’t His Majesty about to undergo tribulation himself?”
“He must have a secret method that prevents heavenly tribulation from detecting him,” Sally replied.
Zulu looked at the tribulation cloud in the sky, “It will take quite a while,” then gazed at Xiaoba, “He really looks like His Majesty.”
Pei Xuan: “…You haven’t seen His Majesty’s beast body, have you?”
Zulu laughed naively, “Indeed, I haven’t.”
“Actually, you’re not wrong,” Sally laughed, “Xiaoba’s beast body, its color can compete with His Majesty in human form. He has almost bewitched all his sisters.”
The clouds of tribulation gathered rapidly in the sky.
Sally’s heart tightened.
Even though she had witnessed the Ascension Divine Tribulation many times, she couldn’t help but worry whenever it involved someone close to her.
Little Fengning arrived, his arms crossed as if he held something, but it was invisible.
Sally knew that Little Fengning was holding Little Dot.
After letting Zulu hold Xiaoba, she took Little Dot from Little Fengning’s arms.
The little one lifted the hood of his invisibility cloak, revealing half of his face, “Mom~”
“Hmm~ What brings Little Dot here?” Sally smiled.
This hooded cloak was a gift from Ancestor Heng. As long as he wore the cloak, if he wanted to be invisible, no one could discover him, nor would anyone sense his ancient aura, unless he chose to reveal himself, completely at his whim.
Little Dot was very fond of it and insisted on wearing the cloak every day, often even Sally’s System Map couldn’t locate him.
“I’m worried about Uncle Zong,” Little Dot replied.
Sally kissed him, “Little Dot is so good~”
When Ancestor Heng first saw Little Dot, there was not even a hint of surprise on his face. After looking him over for a while, he gave him a bulging Little Storage Bag, like the other children had, and a cloak, then said no more.
Lately, she had been busy attending the birthday feast, leaving Zi Qi to accompany Ancestor Heng.
Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Columns struck down from the sky one after another…
Xiaohao arrived with Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Xiao Tiantian.
Especially Little Shiwu, who darted towards the Tribulation Thunder, seemingly determined to take a bite and taste its flavor.
But the thunder columns, as if they had eyes, zigzagged around her toward Zong Silu!
Little Shiwu got angry, yelling at the Ascension Tribulation Cloud, “If you’re tough enough, don’t run!”
Rushing into the densest part of the tribulation cloud…
However, the cloud twisted around her, just not letting her get close.
Finally, after hastily striking Zong Silu a few more times, it dispersed!
Little Shiwu ended up lonely again!
With a face full of grievance, she flew towards Sally.
Sally held her and laughed, “You little troublemaker.”
“Nope~ Mom, I just wanted to taste the Ascension Tribulation Thunder, but it just wouldn’t let me,” Little Shiwu always managed to arrive in time for action but never got even half a bite.
