"Thankfully, you're alright."
Su Mu looked up at the sky and then felt somewhat relieved.
" Heavenly Tribulation are truly unfair; you say it's okay, but we say it's starting."
The old tortoise watching from the side immediately grumbled.
"Boom!"
The words had barely left his lips when a thunderclap resounded in the sky, causing the demons below to tremble in fear.
At this moment, the demons' eyes became incredibly resentful. Look, look!
We all say we have things to do, but you humans are complaining about the Heavenly Dao as if nothing's wrong with you.
The Daoist priest in front was also stunned. Could it be that their human race was so favored by the Heavenly Dao?
"Alas, it seems that the Heavenly Dao is truly somewhat unfair."
The old Daoist priest in front sighed and began to speak, seemingly lamenting the injustice of Heavenly Dao, but the gloating and smugness in his eyes were impossible to conceal.
"Crack!"
The next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the old Daoist's smug face, turning his face black as charcoal and almost burning his hair off.
Several holes were burned into his Daoist robe.
The demons' expressions, which had initially been somewhat angry, became rather interesting at this moment.
The old Daoist's face slowly turned to one of astonishment, then to a constipated expression.
It seems that Heavenly Dao favors this soul exclusively, and anyone else who dares to utter the slightest word against Heavenly Dao will incur its wrath.
"How is that possible?"
After a long while, the old Daoist priest finally opened his mouth and murmured.
"Kid, repeat what you just said!"
The old Daoist priest appeared in front of Su Mu in a flash, his eyes fixed on Su Mu.
He wanted to verify whether Su Mu was truly favored by Heavenly Dao.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately shook his head vigorously, "No, if the Heavenly Dao gets angry, my soul body can't withstand it!"
Su Mu wasn't stupid; he was terrified when he saw that bolt of lightning strike.
Thank goodness it wasn't him who was struck; if it had, Su Mu felt he would probably be dead by now.
"It's alright, if anything really happens, I'll cover for you!"
The old Daoist priest, brimming with confidence, spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu shook his head again. He would never do such a thing. Why would he provoke the Heavenly Dao for no reason?
"If you don't do it, don't blame this old Daoist."
Seeing that Su Mu still disagreed, the old Daoist priest became somewhat angry. Looking at Su Mu, who was just an ordinary, even somewhat weak-looking person, he immediately threatened him.
What do you intend to do?
Just then, a soft voice rang out.
The next moment, an extremely alluring figure appeared to the side.
The woman wore embroidered shoes on her feet, with bells adorning her jade-like toes, which made her ankles appear exceptionally white and delicate.
Her face was veiled, making it impossible to see her features, but her beautiful eyes were particularly captivating.
The woman glanced at the old Daoist priest, then flipped her delicate hand.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the old Daoist priest was slammed into the ground. "You dare to threaten the people I invited? If I don't teach you a lesson, where will my reputation stand?"
The woman snorted coldly, not even glancing at the old Daoist priest who had been slapped to the ground, but instead looked at Su Mu Su Mu, sizing him up from head to toe.
"How interesting, a mere soul body receiving such favor from Heavenly Dao?"
At this moment, she was almost certain that the person who could help her overcome the Heavenly Tribulation was most likely Su Mu.
Su Mu felt uneasy upon hearing this. The woman in front of him seemed to be the Demon King, and the Demon King was actually a woman.
"Perhaps Heavenly Dao simply doesn't want to stoop to my level."
Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting and replied.
The Demon King remained noncommittal upon hearing this. Among these people, everyone had spoken of the injustice of Heavenly Dao's will, but only Su Mu had said this without any consequences. In fact, it was obvious even without the experiment.
"The tribulations of the Demon Race Tribulation Transcendence are completely different from those of the human race, and are even more difficult for the demon race to overcome. What are your thoughts on this?"
The Demon King blinked his long eyelashes and asked softly.
Su Mu was somewhat at a loss. The person in front of him was a demon king; how was he supposed to answer?
"Well, I really don't know much about cultivation, so I don't know how to answer that."
Su Mu forced a reply.
"It's alright, speak freely, I will forgive you."
The Demon King waved his hand, indicating that Su Mu could speak freely.
The rest of the demons looked at Su Mu expectantly, as if wanting to know what insights Su Mu had on this matter.
In their view, the Heavenly Dao Dao's actions were truly unfair. Since Su Mu was so favored by the Heavenly Dao, perhaps what Su Mu said could represent some of the Heavenly Dao's intentions.
Seeing the demons staring intently at him, Su Mu knew that if he didn't say something, things would get out of hand.
Thoughts raced through his mind, and after a moment Su Mu took a deep breath.
"In that case, I was merely speaking casually. If I have said anything wrong, I hope the Demon King will not take offense."
It's alright.
Upon hearing this, the Demon King also perked up.
Su Mu coughed lightly and said softly, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes, transforming into a sliver of hope."
Su Mu's voice wasn't loud, but when he spoke, it seemed louder than thunder from the heavens, shaking the demons to their core.
At this very moment, the demon king's Spiritual Power began to surge.
The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, one escapes, transforming into a sliver of hope, a sliver of hope.
The Demon King muttered to himself, his eyes growing ever brighter.
The countless bolts of lightning that had been flashing across the sky began to quietly dissipate.
Meanwhile, within Su Mu's soul, a blue lotus quietly bloomed.
The lotus flowers that had originally bloomed a few times, but looked like buds, are now unfolding layer by layer, creating a breathtaking sight.
"I see!"
The Demon Queen opened her beautiful eyes wide, and at that moment she was certain that her only chance of survival lay with Su Mu.
She had previously divined that there was a glimmer of hope for her survival during this Tribulation Transcendence, which lay among the guests she had invited.
However, what Su Mu said now perfectly matched the result of his divination.
Moreover, Su Mu's words carried a hint of the will of Heavenly Dao, indicating that this person was definitely her only chance of survival!
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Su Mu softened considerably.
"Well said! The Heavenly Evolution of Forty-Nine signifies that the Heavenly Dao is not perfect, but it always leaves room for life."
The old Daoist priest underground coughed and got up, his face flushed, looking somewhat excited.
"Smack!"
Before the old Daoist could say anything, the Demon King slapped him again, sending him crashing into the ground once more.
"Hmph, daring to threaten my honored guest? They're courting death!"
After delivering the slap, the Demon King seemed to be in a very good mood, completely ignoring the cultivators who were swallowing hard beside him. He beckoned his maids over, saying, "Give this person a good welcome."
"Simply tell them what you need."
The Demon King's last sentence was directed at Su Mu, and after he finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared.
"The Demon King's strength seems to have increased again."
"Nonsense! This wasn't even his true form, yet he still managed to send Rogue Person Yunsong underground. Tell me, how strong is that!"
"Indeed, Rogue Person Yunsong is a Nascent Soul cultivator."
The people around whispered among themselves, and from what they heard, it seemed that the old Daoist priest still underground was quite powerful.
