"Li Zi is powerful. If she can drag you all the way to the Immortal Realm before you've even taken human form, you must stay with her."

Jiang Ning'er was still shaken, but she nodded earnestly as she listened to her mother.

"I understand, Mother."

Jiang Ling checked once more. "Are you sure Li Zi pulled you up after she transcended her tribulation?"

Jiang Ning'er nodded, pressing one hand to her chest. "Yes. My contract partner is already summoning me from the Immortal Realm. She wants to take me up with her. The pull of her summons is very strong."

Rumble!

The clouds overhead continued to churn, their low, growling thunder sounding like a warning to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling drew in a sharp breath.

It really was that little lass.

"Did she repair the barrier too?"

A flicker of confusion crossed Jiang Ning'er's eyes. "Mother, I don't know about that. All I know is that she's very powerful now. Powerful enough to... wipe out a world with ease."

Jiang Ling suddenly burst out laughing. Nine tails unfurled behind her as she tilted her head back and pointed at the enormous thunderbolt in the sky.

"You bastard! What's wrong with saying a few words to my daughter? What's the hurry? I'll kill you!"

Every tail behind her stood upright. She kicked off the ground and shot straight into the clouds, extending her claws to rake at the enormous thunderbolt.

None of the elders below managed to stop her.

The Second Elder gritted his teeth and followed her up. "That woman is far too impulsive!"

After the eighty-one bolts of tribulation lightning ended, a vortex appeared overhead.

Jiang Ling held her daughter tightly.

They had only been reunited for ten years, and now they had to part again. She simply couldn't
