"I always feel like this is all a dream, it's not real."
Hua Wei sighed, "When I woke up from the dream, I was back in the Heavenly God Academy, still tending to the farmland in that small courtyard."
"The headmaster is joking."
Xu Chunniang took out the soul-calming pot and handed it to Hua Wei.
"If one day in the future, a sky-watching beast breaks into the Heavenly God Academy, please do not bother with him and give this thing to him."
Hua Wei took the Soul Calming Pot and looked at it carefully. "This thing is somewhat similar to the Dragon Soul Bell in the Celestial God Academy. These two semi-immortal artifacts seem to be made by the same person."
"I have some personal connections with Wang Tianhu, and this item was made by his enemy."
Hua Wei nodded, put away the soul-calming pot, and didn't ask any more questions. "I still have a lot of things to do. I'm leaving first. If you have anything, call me."
"Go slowly, Master."
After watching Hua Wei leave, Xu Chunniang lowered her head again and looked at the account book in her hand.
I have finished reading these account books. I have nothing to do, so I might as well refine some formations and talismans to provide for my master and fellow apprentices.
Peaceful times always pass by especially quickly. In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
After Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai broke through to the Mahayana stage, their practice was completely completed under the guidance of Xu Chunniang.
When one's cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, it means that one's cultivation has been perfected. Continuing to pursue the increase of cultivation would be superfluous.
The only right way is to examine one's own heart, constantly improve one's Tao heart, and cultivate one's Tao heart to perfection.
When the heart of Tao is perfected, that is when the thunder tribulation will come.
Little Orange felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and he felt like he could ascend to heaven at any time.
"I have a feeling that my True Immortal Thunder Tribulation is coming soon!"
Xiaobai also had the same feeling. Thinking of the impending thunder tribulation, his whole body trembled, feeling both excited and nervous.
He never thought that he, an ordinary low-level monster, could one day complete his practice.
But along the way, all the impossibilities became possible.
Xu Chunniang looked at the sky and said, "The tribulation will cause a lot of noise. We should leave now."
After saying goodbye to her master and fellow apprentice Kong Huan for the last time, Xu Chunniang brought Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai to a deserted wilderness.
"Who will start first?"
"Let me go first."
Little Orange took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination and expectation, "Xiao Bai is timid, as the boss I have to protect him."
"I am not so timid now..."
Xiaobai muttered something, but was kicked by Xiaojuzi and took back the second half of the sentence.
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "It's just ninety-nine eighty-one golden thunders. It doesn't matter who comes first or last. Let's start."
Little Orange nodded slightly, no longer suppressing his cultivation, and flew into the air.
In an instant, clouds turned and rain fell. A golden dragon formed by lightning swam in the clouds, emitting a terrifying pressure.
Golden thunders as thick as buckets fell one after another, pouring down on Xiaojuzi's body, making her body even tougher.
In the golden lightning, the little orange seemed to be floating in the air, as if he could ascend to heaven at any time.
After the eighty-one golden thunders fell, a colorful light enveloped her figure.
She only had time to look back before she disappeared at the other end of the colorful light.
"It seems that Xiaojuzi should have successfully survived the thunder tribulation and reached the True Immortal Realm. Now it's your turn, Xiaobai."
Xiaobai nodded, and imitated Xiaojuzi to fly up into the sky, which soon attracted a thunder disaster.
Compared to Xiaojuzi's ease, Xiaobai's process of overcoming the tribulation was much more difficult.
But it has not spent all these years in vain. Although it suffered a lot of injuries, it has successfully passed the test of thunder tribulation.
After surviving the thunder tribulation, Xiaobai, like Xiaojuzi, left the spiritual world under the guidance of a ray of colorful light.
After seeing off Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai, it was her turn next.
Xu Chunniang smiled, and the calamity clouds that had not yet completely dissipated began to gather again. The golden dragon angrily spewed out thunder and smashed down on her.
A strange scene appeared. The lightning that hit her actually went straight through her body and turned into nothingness.
Eighty-one thunderbolts, without exception, did not even touch the corner of her clothes.
The essence of power is law.
If you are familiar with all the laws, you can naturally control all the power.
Looking at the road to immortality formed by colorful lights that appeared in front of her, Xu Chunniang raised her leg and stepped on it.
Suddenly, she heard a buzzing in her ears and returned to Xujia Village where she lived as a child.
In my memory, she was a person who never gave up. As long as she got an opportunity, she would grab it at all costs.
But that year, when an immortal came to the village to recruit disciples, she failed to be selected.
With no chance of becoming an immortal, she stayed in the village until she was seventeen. She became a laughing stock in the village because she refused to get married.
She resisted, but considering her parents who treated her well, she finally got married.
After getting married, she did the laundry, cooked, took care of everything at home, and gave birth to two daughters.
But her picky parents-in-law always found fault with everything about her.
The years have worn away her face, and her eyes have gradually lost their luster.
The day-to-day hard work and the grievance of not being understood made her increasingly silent.
The father-in-law pointed at her nose and cursed, "Xu Sanya, you are a jinx who can't give birth to a son. You only give birth to money-losing things. Sooner or later, I will make you leave my house!"
Xu Chunniang didn't understand why her life was like this.
It is obvious that she strives to be the first in everything and does everything to the best of her ability, no worse than anyone else.
But it seemed as if God was playing a joke on her, letting her be crushed by the secular world and sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp.
She remembered that she had a dream in which she became an immortal and saw a wider world.
Unfortunately, after waking up, I still faced the terrible reality.
After all, it was just a dream.
She put the dirty clothes into a bamboo basket and carried the basket to the pond to wash the clothes.
When she saw her reflection in the water, she suddenly stopped.
Who says all this is not upside down
Perhaps the world in dreams is real, and the fragmented reality before our eyes is just a dream.
After all, she, Xu Sanya, has never been a person who accepts her fate.
Over the years, she has become less and less like herself.
Instead, it was the girl in her dream that made her fascinated.
Xu Chunniang threw down the bamboo basket on her back, stretched out her hand, and bent down to touch her reflection in the water.
The moment I touched the reflection in the water, everything around me shattered like a water mirror and turned into illusion.
But the reflection in the water is the only truth.
—It turned out that her guess was correct, dreams and reality were really upside down.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, with a hint of smile in them.
This true immortal calamity is indeed real enough, but the bird, which is free by nature, cannot be trapped in any way.
Some people have the wind in their blood, destined to pursue all their lives and never stop.
She looked towards the other side where the colorful light led to. There was the real fairyland.
