Chapter 919 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls
After receiving the Quasi-Celestial skill "Yin Yang God Thunder," Tang Xin began to intensively cultivate under the guidance of Senior Xing Hong. The process of cultivating a celestial-level skill is extremely arduous, and the sensation of repeatedly being tempered by thunder is not something ordinary people can endure. However, the eldest senior sister had already been thoroughly disciplined by Senior Xing Hong; thus, facing such torment again didn’t feel special anymore. It could be said that she had become numb to it. Xing Hong was always attentive to the changes in Tang Xin's body, stepping in to help her suppress the chaotic power when necessary. With the help of a senior expert, the eldest senior sister’s cultivation of the skill went smoothly. Although there were minor issues, no major problems arose. “What an odd constitution.” During the cultivation process, Xing Hong noticed some issues. Although Tang Xin had high talent and faced no difficulties in understanding the Quasi-Celestial level skill, actual practice always led to small mistakes here and there. Simply put, while her theoretical knowledge was strong, the practical application often deviated from what she had in mind. This was highly illogical for a supreme genius. Cultivating a skill and understanding its content indicates a strong soul, and a strong soul should enhance bodily control. Cases of cultivating forcibly without understanding and resulting in cultivation deviation were heard of, but never had there been a case where someone failed in cultivation due to a lack of practical ability despite understanding the skill. No wonder she had always been unable to choose her cultivation path... As one progresses, regardless of the path, the skills would become increasingly complex, making such errors increasingly fatal. Unless... She cultivates a demonic skill. Compared to orthodox skills, demonic skills are much more tolerant of "mistakes." Orthodox skills demand alignment with heaven and earth; a slight error could lead to backlash, whereas demonic skills prioritize the self, allowing one to correct mistakes promptly. “What a pity,” Xing Hong sighed inwardly, “In the ancient times, she could have pursued the path of dual cultivation of righteousness and demonic. But in today's environment, the continent wouldn't allow such a person to emerge." Under Xing Hong's careful "correction," Tang Xin finally succeeded in cultivating the "Yin Yang God Thunder," and her realm began to rapidly ascend. Nascent Soul Eighth Stage, Nascent Soul Eighth Stage Perfection, Nascent Soul Ninth Stage. As time passed, when the eldest senior sister successfully mastered the Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder of the "Yin Yang God Thunder," she also grew tired of a life where she could only see a beautiful face every day. "Nascent Soul Ninth Stage Perfection," Xing Hong said leisurely, "just one step away from reaching the peak of Nascent Soul." "Let's break up, I feel like the passion we had at the beginning is gone…" Tang Xin sighed. "After these years of supplementing, your potential has been perfectly tapped," the senior didn't care about her nonsense and continued, "Now you should be able to challenge stronger enemies across a larger gap. With the advantage of weapons, you might even challenge even stronger opponents." "But, we still need to fill up that last breath," he added, "otherwise, I'll always feel a bit uneasy." "No matter how you try to retain me, we're breaking up," Tang Xin glanced at him and said, "unless you can help me find the materials needed to upgrade the 'Heaven-Extinguishing Broom'..." Tang Xin had obtained the manual for unlocking the Heaven-Extinguishing Broom long ago but never had the time to pay attention to it. To activate the second form of the broom, the most important thing was to find a "Force of Heaven and Earth" on par with the "Merciless Inferno." Normally, divine artifacts are born from the essence of heaven and earth, so using the Force of Heaven and Earth to temper them is only natural. But such a Force of Heaven and Earth is not easy to find. "On par with the Merciless Inferno." Her request made even a mid-stage Tribulation Transcender like him feel challenged. The Merciless Inferno is considered a very strong Force of Heaven and Earth. There are not many of its caliber in the world... "Wait," Xing Hong suddenly raised his eyebrows, took out the Heavenly Gaze Mirror, calculated, and smiled, "There is a way. You really are lucky, it's like someone is delivering a pillow when you're sleepy." "This is the first time I've heard that I'm lucky," Tang Xin touched her head and asked, "What happened?" "What's on par with the Merciless Inferno is the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation'. The only issue is that it's difficult to preserve and can only be obtained by chance." Xing Hong laughed. "Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation?" The eldest senior sister realized something, and her face tensed up, "You mean, someone is going to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation?" On another side of the continent, in Qingzhou, Xuan Ling Sect. During the days Tang Xin was away, Xuan Ling Sect continued to operate steadily. The older disciples gradually advanced to high stages of Foundation Building and Golden Core, becoming pillars of the sect, while new disciples joined in batches, bringing new faces each year. Now serving as the "Chief Disciple" within the sect was Yi Rou, known for being "arrogant and domineering," "bullying others with her power," and "committing all kinds of evils." She was strict, unhesitatingly punishing even the newly admitted disciples. Relying on her Nascent Soul realm, the great elder's support, and the backing of her cultivating family, hardly anyone dared to provoke her both within and outside the sect. Bang, bang, bang! In the martial training field, another group of new disciples was beaten until their faces were swollen, wailing incessantly. "What's going on?" a disciple complained, holding his face, "It feels like Senior Sister Yi is particularly forceful today. She's not usually this irritable." "You’re just unlucky," an older disciple replied, "You've encountered Senior Sister Yi's 'depressive period.'" "Depressive? What does Senior Sister Yi have to be depressed about?" The new disciple was puzzled. The older disciple didn't speak further but pointed to a girl nearby who was sighing with a handful of disciples under her feet. "Another year has passed, and Senior Sister Tang still hasn't returned..." Yi Rou was exceptionally talented and capable. Despite being somewhat behind a few generational geniuses, she was more than adequate to serve as the chief of a large sect. Even though she occasionally fell into "depressive moments," there was Fang Ling, an exceedingly capable second-in-command, to take over the work efficiently. "Senior Sister Yi," who had virtually become the "little steward of Xuan Ling Sect," Fang Ling approached Yi Rou, who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said, "The great elder and the seventh elder have left the sect," leaving a message saying, "If there's an issue, seek out the other elders or make a decision on your own... Senior Sister Yi, are you listening to me?" "My yearning spills over my chest, turning into a gentle breeze, drifting, drifting..." It was rare for the great elder to leave the sect, especially without mentioning when he would return. In reality, not only Xuan Miao and Ling Hua, but almost all the "hidden characters" of their generation had disappeared from the back mountain. They had all left for one major event. Yu Ling Zi was about to undergo her tribulation.
