You Have Someone Else Outside, Don't You?

"I stood in the raging wind, hating that I couldn't sweep away this endless heartache..."

Lu Bei sang blankly, very much in keeping with the mood, but the rest of the lyrics didn't suit him.

The original song went, "Looking to the vast heavens as clouds surged in all directions, sword in hand, asking the world who was a hero." He was more like, "The road ahead is hard; drawing my sword, I look around in bewilderment."

"Look on the bright side. The fact that they're undergoing their tribulations at the same time might not be a bad thing." Lu Bei rushed straight toward Elder She's location, comforting himself as he went.

If they underwent their tribulations one after another, then even with formations blocking the disturbance, the person who went first would sense the violent fluctuations of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the distance. Curiosity would surely drive her over for a peek.

It wouldn't take much. One glance would be enough to send him straight to bliss and back.

Since they were being struck by lightning together, there was no such risk. Once the tribulations ended, he could use consolidating their realms as an excuse, toss them straight into Solitary Confinement, and then send them home one by one.

This was a sure win!

Thinking of this, Lu Bei swept away his dejection and immediately brimmed with energy.

Using Golden Light Earth Escape, he moved so quickly that space itself could not bear it. With a thunderous boom, the collapsed void repaired itself. By the time Lu Bei restrained his aura and dispersed the passage permit of Unity of Heaven and Man, he had already arrived beside Elder She.

The chain lightning was nothing out of the ordinary, and Elder She repelled it without breaking a sweat.
