As the words came true, the sky exploded immediately after True Lord Suiyun uttered the words, "Those who defy Heaven will eventually die under the tribulation of lightning."
The tribulation of the Divinity Transformation Stage suddenly descended, and thunderclouds arrived unexpectedly, giving no one any time to prepare.
The oppressive force of Heavenly Dao locked onto True Lord Suiyun and unleashed a tribulation of lightning.
Bai Lan's expression flashed; most likely, the Heavenly Dao had caught a whiff of the aura of this person who bullied her son and daughter every day on True Lord Suiyun.
When breaking through to a higher realm, a tribulation of lightning will descend; when breaking Heart Demon Vow, a tribulation of lightning will also descend. Apart from these, it seems that the Heavenly Dao will not send down a tribulation of lightning.
At this moment, Qie Suiyun's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage realm, which was within the rules of the tribulation. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao seized the opportunity and launched a tribulation ahead of schedule.
Sui Yun might be able to withstand the first lightning tribulation, but Bai Lan's small body at the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't withstand it. Let alone the lightning tribulation, Bai Lan spat out a mouthful of blood the moment the thunderclouds gathered and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao descended.
My head was buzzing and my ears were ringing.
She's always trying to exploit loopholes in the Heavenly Dao. I bet the Heavenly Dao has also found a loophole in the rules and is planning to send her and Suiyun, these two scourges, to their doom in one fell swoop.
A bolt of lightning struck down directly towards True Lord Suiyun.
The lightning tribulation is not a single-target attack, but an area-of-effect attack. It will indiscriminately attack all creatures around True Lord Suiyun, let alone creatures like Bai Lan.
Bai Lan had no doubt that Heavenly Dao would send down ninety-nine bolts of lightning until Sui Yun was struck dead.
However, she did not hide in the void. Instead, in the instant when she was still conscious, she reloaded her save and went back to before the lightning tribulation descended. This time, she did not let Elder Fu stop Suiyun from escaping the formation.
If Suiyun were to die now, she would not only lose a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator who could be used occasionally, but the coveted prize of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion would also fall into the hands of other Nascent Soul Cultivator.
With its vast resources and powerful organization, how could Heavenly Secrets Pavilion allow other cultivators to get there first?
This time, with Bai Lan's indulgence, True Lord Suiyun risked being devoured by the formation and tried his best to jump out of it.
Even though she reacted quickly and stopped the damage in time, she still inhaled some of the dark evil energy, and her physical body also suffered the backlash of stopping the operation of five ninth-order magic arrays. It can be said that she lost both her wife and her army.
Bai Lan looked at the pale-faced True Lord Suiyun in front of her, shook her head and sighed, "Godmother, in this world, there is no one who is favored by the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that you have gone mad from cultivating the Qi Fire?"
"Heh, Heaven and Earth are not impartial, treating all things like straw dogs. The rules of Heaven and Earth should treat all beings equally, and the Great Dao is inherently ruthless, but the reality is not so. Even the Heavenly Dao has its favorites." True Lord Suiyun's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Bai Lan: "It is the Heavenly Dao that is unjust. No wonder I defied Heaven. But I never expected that you..."
Unexpectedly, she stirred up Sha Qi's nest, almost causing her to be burdened with sins and turn into a cursed lone star.
True Lord Suiyun could hardly fathom how Bai Lan managed to live such a Sha Qi life despite being surrounded by such malevolent energy.
Yes, that's true. She and her husband were always like that; no matter how dangerous the situation, they always managed to survive.
"You knew about the existence of the Six Harmonies Insight Array from the beginning, but you didn't expose it. You were targeting the Sun God's intentions, weren't you?" True Lord Suiyun sneered, but he simply stepped forward slowly, staring intently into Bai Lan's eyes. "Child, tell your adoptive mother why you have so much Sha Qi on you. Was it done by someone else, or... is this one of your little tricks?"
She even began to suspect that someone had beaten her to it and drained Bai Lan.
"My adoptive mother must have investigated me thoroughly from the very beginning. How could I possibly have the ability to play tricks in front of a Nascent Soul Cultivator?" Bai Lan said innocently.
It was Elder Fu resorted to underhanded tactics; what did that have to do with Bai Lan?
"Perhaps before that, you should first answer my question." Bai Lan looked at the five magic arrays beneath her feet, her amazement undiminished. "Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators and Spirit Transformation Realm experts rack their brains over the matter of ascension, yet my adoptive mother has gathered so many ninth-grade materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine these five great arrays, just to absorb the fortune of those favored by Heavenly Dao..."
This is like digging out someone else's Spirit Root and transplanting it onto your own body—it's utterly absurd. The Spirit Root is an ethereal and intangible thing; how can it be transplanted?
Luck is an even more ethereal and intangible thing than Spirit Root; it cannot be seen or touched and is extremely mysterious.
But this woman, True Lord Suiyun, is truly a genius; she actually created an array that can absorb people's luck.
Bai Lan was initially somewhat skeptical, but after she absorbed all the trillions of Sha Qi obstacles on her body, she was truly astounded.
If it weren't for the fact that the five Ninth Tier Grand Array and the more than one million Spirit Stone were too resource-intensive, she would have really wanted to tie up Long Aotian and Bai Ling and try it out.
At this True Lord Suiyun's state and expression were quite like that of someone whose heart is dead. She didn't even kill Bai Lan to silence her, but instead calmly explained.
"Ha, I cultivate my Cultivation Method and can reincarnate three times. This is my third reincarnation. But only in this final one did I learn that only those favored by Heavenly Dao, possessing a body imbued with purple qi, can ascend. Otherwise, even if someone survives the tribulation lightning, they will find it difficult to leave this world. I have cultivated for thousands of years in my two lifetimes, reaching the Spirit Transformation stage in both, yet I have died twice from the tribulation lightning. How can I accept this!"
In his True Lord Suiyun used a fiber optic modem to connect to broadband for two lifetimes. Only when he was about to die did he realize that there was such a thing as a router in this world.
She did go looking for a router in this lifetime, but she never expected that she would connect to the neighbor's Wi-Fi instead of a router.
