Su Chen and Yelan were chatting idly when, after a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask:
"Master, may you tell me your stories from the past?"
Yelan had always been curious, but she hadn't dared to ask before.
In fact, Yelan herself didn't know that she was the person in this world, besides Tongtian, who knew Su Chen the most.
Because she had overheard Su Chen's conversation with Tongtian.
Bai Yulan also quickly pricked up her ears to listen.
Su Chen was lost in reminiscence, a hint of pain appearing on his face. Even now, he still felt remorse for the mistakes he had made, which led to the destruction of the Immortal Realm and the change of everything.
Yelan noticed Su Chen's emotions, and she quickly went to Su Chen's side and hugged Su Chen:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
The fact that Su Chen showed such an expression meant that those matters were absolutely extremely serious.
Su Chen took a deep breath to calm his emotions. He raised his hand and isolated everything in the Courtyard —time, Karma, space. At this moment, the Courtyard was as if it did not exist in this world at all.
I come from another world.
Another world!?
Bai Yulan looked surprised. Could it not be the Cloud Firmament Realm?
Yelan already knew this, so his expression remained quite normal.
Su Chen continued calmly, "That place... is called the Immortal Realm. In fact, your current Myriad Worlds are the Immortal Realm, but due to some changes, the Immortal Realm has become the Myriad Worlds we know today."
Ah?
Both of them were stunned. Could it be that the Myriad Worlds were once called the Immortal Realm?
Looking back through history, it seems there has never been a great era called the Immortal Realm.
Su Chen's voice rang out again. "The Immortal Realm is not much different from the current Myriad Worlds. The difference is that the Immortal Realm only has Thirty-Six Great Worlds, not as many Small World as the Myriad Worlds."
"I grew up in the Immortal Realm. At that time, there was a power in that world called the Su Family. I was the eldest young master of the Su Family, and later became the Old Family Head. I established a power called the Divine Court, Tongtian was one of the three Heavenly Venerable in the Divine Court."
"But one day, an enemy appeared. That enemy was very strong, and even now I don't know who he is. I traveled Upper Reaches of Time, to the Primordial Era, to the place where heaven and earth were born."
"But I fell into the enemy's trap and was lucky enough to survive. Unfortunately, that person changed what should have happened in the Upper Reaches of Time."
Ultimately, everything changed. The Immortal Realm disappeared, giving rise to the Myriad Worlds we know today, and all my loved ones vanished as well.
"Tongtian is my only old friend."
Su Chen recounted his experiences to the two women in detail, but he omitted many things, such as matters concerning the system or secrets they shouldn't know.
As for Su Chen spoke up, it was probably because he had been holding it in for too long. His emotions were actually quite suppressed, so he needed to express them to feel better.
Yelan didn't speak; she simply held Su Chen quietly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Nestled within a vast, sparsely populated mountain range, the roars of Demon Beast echoed intermittently from below.
Su Lan sat cross-legged in the void, and the fluctuations of his internal energy became increasingly restless.
Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the Imperial Authority was brewing within them. Terrifying thunder roared, as if the heavens were enraged.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed in the sky, and the countless Demon Beasts that had been entrenched there fled in terror, like startled birds.
Some of the more timid were so frightened that they lay prostrate on the spot, too afraid to move.
Su Lan looked up, her eyes filled with solemnity. "Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation!"
She couldn't help but swallow hard. She had never experienced such a tribulation in her previous life. She had once survived a Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation, which almost killed her. Now, an even stronger Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation was coming.
"Call!"
Su Lan gasped for breath, trying to calm her panicked emotions. If this kind of tribulation wasn't handled properly, there was a high probability that she would perish.
But if she can get through it, it will be of great benefit to her.
The tribulation of lightning is both a Trial and a reward for cultivators. If one can overcome the tribulation, one can obtain pure power of Great Dao. The stronger the tribulation, the more power one will gain.
The Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation is the most terrifying thunder tribulation in the Myriad Worlds, second only to the Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation. Past it will surely bring immeasurable benefits.
Su Lan took another deep breath and took out a fragrant Pill containing boundless vitality. It was an Immortal Grade Rank 9 healing Pill.
Su Lan put the Pill in her mouth, but did not refine it. Instead, she used her tongue to wrap the Immortal Energy around the Pill, isolating it, preparing to attach it to the immortal power at a crucial moment.
Next, she took out many magical Magical Treasure that possessed Lightning attribute resistance.
Once everything was ready, her aura surged.
A bolt of Nine-Colored Divine Thunder crashed down from the sky. This lightning was as thick as Heaven Pillar, its sound deafening, and its terrifying Imperial Authority Mi Man outwards, felt throughout a radius of a thousand miles.
Su Lan groaned, blood oozing from her limbs and bones.
"The first one!"
There are nine lightning tribulations in total, all with the same power.
In just a moment, the second lightning tribulation struck again, directly engulfing Su Lan. A look of pain appeared on Su Lan's face, and her fair skin immediately cracked, revealing the aroma of flesh.
Many of the Magical Treasure she possessed were also damaged.
Soon.
The third and fourth drops continued to fall.
Su Lan's injuries worsened, and by the fifth strike, she had refined the Pill in her mouth. By the seventh strike, Su Lan finally began to use spatial power to resist the Divine Lightning.
Her injuries were already extremely serious.
As the eighth bolt of Divine Lightning struck, Su Lan couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling scream, her voice filled with anguish.
"The last one!"
Su Lan had been struck so hard he was barely recognizable. He gasped for breath, his eyes shining brightly as he looked up at the sky, where the final lightning tribulation was still brewing.
