Chapter 1873 - 1874: Tribulation Crossing
Ling Zhenfei spent a lot of time in cultivation; in fact, there was another kind of change, which was the change in Ling Zhenfei's mindset.
Just now, he had a direct confrontation with people of the Pursue Heart State, who would have thought that their strength was far beyond Ling Zhenfei's imagination.
Just one moment transformed Ling Zhenfei into this state, so should Ling Zhenfei also break through to the Pursue Heart State?
However, breaking through the Pursue Heart State would trigger the Heavenly Tribulation. Last time, Ling Zhenfei almost triggered it.
Is it time to undergo the tribulation now? It's unknown what it would be like to undergo it inside this Peach Blossom Secret Realm, perhaps its power would be even greater.
If it inadvertently attracts the attention of the Evil Dragon, that would be bad.
Therefore, Ling Zhenfei has been hesitating, unsure whether he should undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.
The reason for his hesitation is that he wants to go back and ask Lu Tao, as in his vicinity, only Lu Tao was once in the Pursue Heart State.
But back then, Lu Tao mentioned that a divine light shone upon them, they felt the divine light, and then ascended to the Pursue Heart State, seemingly without mentioning resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.
Ling Zhenfei was very hesitant in his heart, not knowing exactly what occurred.
Could it be that he's different from others, that others don't need to undergo the tribulation, only Ling Zhenfei does?
After cultivating for many days in succession, Ling Zhenfei finally opened his eyes, only to see the pink peach blossoms before him, suddenly feeling a sense of clarity.
Just after experiencing a light rain, many petals fell to the ground, covering the ground and trees in pink.
Looking along the road, one sees at the end of the pink road a pretty little house, with an even prettier house owner at the door.
Ling Zhenfei walked over, Peach Blossom Fairy noticed Ling Zhenfei, gave him a comforting smile, and said, "You're awake, come and have a cup of tea."
Ling Zhenfei approached, sitting in his posture while Peach Blossom Fairy was brewing tea.
"Try it, this is yesterday's Rootless Water, it should be very tasty."
Ling Zhenfei took a small sip and indeed felt the tea's taste was quite different.
In the air, there was another sound of a screeching call; Ling Zhenfei looked up to see the Lightning Bird, a massive entity soaring high, followed by several eagles and several unknown large birds.
Apart from those, there were some small birds, just like a welcoming procession passing through the sky.
Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Xiao Jin is showing off for you now, he truly is the Sky Overlord here."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Sky Overlord, I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Yes, but this makes me a bit worried."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What are you worried about?"
Peach Blossom Fairy said, "If Xiao Jin's power becomes too strong, it will inevitably cause changes in the Secret Realm. Later, when Evil Day comes, Xiao Jin will indeed be in danger."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this, indeed, Xiao Jin's emergence caused changes in the Secret Realm.
The Evil Day's Evil Dragon is the guardian of this Peach Blossom Secret Realm, tasked with maintaining the balance of the Secret Realm. If Xiao Jin alters the Secret Realm's system, it might attract the Evil Dragon.
The Evil Dragon's strength now sends shivers down Ling Zhenfei's spine when he recalls it; the time the Evil Dragon appeared, it wiped out many monsters.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Is there any pattern to the appearance of Evil Day?"
Peach Blossom Fairy shook her head and said, "Perhaps there indeed is some pattern, but I haven't discovered it. Who knows when Evil Day will appear."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Xiao Jin has grown up now; even if he leaves, there shouldn't be any problem. Next time I enter Xianling Mountain, I'll take Xiao Jin out.
But by then, Xiao Jin won't be able to keep you company."
Peach Blossom Fairy seemed somewhat lost and said, "Yes, having Xiao Jin accompany me these years has brought me immense joy; thinking of his departure indeed makes me a bit reluctant."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then let Xiao Jin keep you company for a little while longer."
After showing off with his fleet in the sky, Xiao Jin finally disbanded the troops and landed, acting affectionately with Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei indeed felt Xiao Jin's power had grown stronger, and not just ordinary strong, it was almost excessively strong.
Even Ling Zhenfei himself couldn't quite discern Xiao Jin's current strength.
After bidding farewell to Peach Blossom Fairy, Ling Zhenfei headed toward the riverbank.
Crossing this river was no longer as simple as it initially seemed, causing even Ling Zhenfei to hesitate a while before deciding to cross.
Every time Ling Zhenfei crossed the river, he felt the creatures in the river growing stronger.
Previously, the Dragon Tooth Dagger's threat allowed easy river crossing, but as time passed, its aura no longer significantly threatened the aquatic creatures.
So this time, Ling Zhenfei made preparations for a long time before he was ready to cross the river.
These river monsters seemed to have gone mad, their strength becoming stronger every time.
Ling Zhenfei felt a great threat, but this time he had Iaido, hoping to cross the river in the quickest possible way.
With this thought in mind, Ling Zhenfei flew toward the other side of the river, intending to cross quickly over the water before any of the monsters noticed.
But these monsters' role is actually to prevent anyone from crossing the river, how could they not notice?
As Ling Zhenfei flew through the sky, the water surface seemed to boil, water arrows densely aimed at Ling Zhenfei.
These water arrows were more powerful and dense than before.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei was prepared in advance, Northern Spiritual Energy was already condensed in his hand, throwing a punch toward those water arrows.
The powerful Northern Spiritual Energy suppressed those water arrows.
After delivering this punch, Ling Zhenfei leveraged its rebound energy to head toward the other side of the river.
But crossing the river wasn't that simple; suddenly, two tentacles protruded from below, just like little whips, reaching out to grab Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was well-prepared, Tang sword in hand, slashing toward those tentacles.
The greatest power of Iaido is in this moment of the draw.
With this slash, the two tentacles were immediately severed, recoiling painfully underwater.
At this moment, the water surface churned violently, Ling Zhenfei looked below, only seeing two circles of sharp teeth.
A monstrous creature with a large mouth surged from beneath the water, snapping toward Ling Zhenfei in the air.
The monster's innermost, overlapping rows of teeth were like a meat grinder, entering its mouth would certainly not be pleasant.
Ling Zhenfei was momentarily astonished, he stepped on Northern Spiritual Energy, soaring higher, then wielded his Tang sword once more, slashing toward that enormous mouth.
Clang!
The Northern Spiritual Energy on the sword precisely struck at the monster's heaviest.
Sparks flew from the teeth in the mouth, two teeth were directly chopped off by Ling Zhenfei's slash.
The monster cried out in pain, descending below.
