第两千零七十四章 孔雀渡天劫

A year's worth of memories was enough for Lin Xuan and his wife to cherish. After all, the future held more years together.

No matter how difficult or dangerous the path of cultivation might be, they would not abandon each other.

The road of cultivation had been full of hardships, but with her by his side, it no longer felt lonely.

Of course, at their current strength, they wouldn't rush into things. Any mistakes could lead to significant losses.

Thus, even though they were set to leave, the two lingered in this small space for half a year. They enjoyed the intimacy and tenderness of cultivation together, while also refining the Black Moon True Spirit Technique to perfection, ensuring that the true spirit blood of the great phoenix had been completely refined and would no longer be a hindrance.

After all, as they say, "Better safe than sorry." Lin Xuan was always meticulous in his actions.

A mere half year was nothing for him or the peacock. Staying a bit more in the mortal world wasn't a big deal either.

During these months, the couple didn't just indulge in sweet moments; Lin Xuan wouldn't be so lacking in spirit. Instead, he and his wife thoroughly searched through every inch of the Black Moon Clan's ruins, not missing even a single crumbling wall, though there were no more valuable discoveries.

Though disappointed, they understood that contentment was key. They had already reaped enough here.

It was time to go.

Hand in hand with his beloved, Lin Xuan stood side by side, gazing at the scenery before them, their eyes filled with reluctance. Though they had only lived here for a year, those days held countless cherished memories.

"Yuan Yuan, we should leave," he said softly.

She nodded in agreement.

Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared. Without hesitation, he infused it with magical power. A bright crescent-shaped light wave emerged and slashed forward into the void.

A loud tearing sound echoed as Lin Xuan then summoned the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.

Just like on their way here, a space rift of about ten feet in diameter appeared before their eyes due to Lin Xuan's actions.

Satisfied with what he saw, Lin Xuan emitted a bright green light and took off with his wife.

Two months later, an unknown valley.

It was noon, the sky clear and blue without a cloud. The weather was pleasant. Suddenly, the sky darkened as if by magic. A strong wind blew, and something incredible happened: multicolored clouds appeared in the sky... but these were not ordinary clouds; they were formed from condensed primordial energy.

These multicolored clouds churned violently, their primordial energy so intense that any cultivator present would have been terrified.

This was a sign of a minor heavenly tribulation. For an Alchemy Foundation stage cultivator like Lin Xuan, it was terrifying and almost impossible to survive, even for advanced cultivators there was a high chance they might perish.

Throughout history, few cultivators managed to ascend from the lower realms to the Spirit Realm successfully; one every several years at best. It required excellent资质and luck.

Since the laws of the universe only allowed Alchemy Foundation stage cultivators one chance to pass through this tribulation, Lin Xuan had lost that opportunity after advancing beyond the Profound Mysteries realm.

He possessed some spatial secrets but couldn't open a passage from the mortal world to the Spirit Realm. Thankfully, he was here with his wife, who could help him withstand the minor heavenly tribulation.

In fact, helping someone during their tribulation was foolish; according to the laws of the universe, doing so would increase the power of the tribulation by several times. Some say it could even reach sixfold strength.

Thus, throughout history, no cultivator had ever done this. But Lin Xuan didn't care.

As a Profound Mysteries stage cultivator, his existence shouldn't have been in the mortal world.

Even if the minor heavenly tribulation's power reached six times its normal level, he wouldn't be affected.

With the tribulation clouds hovering above them, Lin Xuan stood confidently beside his wife. He wasn't overconfident; the scene before him was nothing to worry about. Honestly, it didn't even reach Profound Mysteries stage.

Back then, when he ascended from the Alchemy Foundation realm, it had been a teleportation from Penglai Mountain. Now that he was at the Profound Mysteries realm, looking back, this minor heavenly tribulation seemed insignificant.

As his thoughts raced, a loud thunderous sound echoed in his ears. The first attack was a barrage of lightning and fire. Its power seemed to change the very fabric of heaven and earth, but Lin Xuan saw it as nothing more than child's play. With a wave of his sleeve, a green light shot out, forming a shimmering barrier that protected them.

The thunder and fire descended, but only produced loud explosions without breaking through the barrier.

Of course, this was just an initial test. Soon after, a clear sound rang in their ears as the multicolored clouds spun around. To his surprise, they transformed into green ones.

"Wood attribute!" Lin Xuan sensed it clearly. A series of piercing sounds followed as countless wind blades shot out.

Despite their power surpassing the lightning and fire, Lin Xuan merely flicked his finger, infusing magical energy. The barrier flashed brighter, while the wind blades failed to cause any damage.

Beside him, the peacock was dumbfounded. Though she knew her husband's strength had reached a level beyond comprehension, she never expected he could treat such tribulations as if they were nothing.

Originally, she was supposed to be the one facing this tribulation, but now she stood by idly with nothing to do.

Such an event would surely be met with disbelief if told to others.

Of course, the power of the tribulation wasn't limited to that. The winds and clouds continued to change.

In fact, the three minor heavenly tribulations the peacock was facing were more powerful than usual due to her celestial bird bloodline. But with Lin Xuan here, such strength merely amounted to nothing.

Postscript: Fellow cultivators, Happy New Year! Rest assured, there will be a second update this month, though it might be a bit less frequent. I'll still ensure the updates are consistent. @.
