Chapter 542: Chapter 267: Is the Young Master About to Break Through to the Sage Realm?_2

He silently chanted their shared pledge and had already arrived at the Young Master Palace.

"She’s inside the Seclusion Room, I didn’t know the situation and didn’t want to disturb her," Liu Qingqing said as she saw her husband.

"It doesn’t matter, she just finished refining the Elixir and has already attained the Saint Body Talent."

"The Heavenly Tribulation will condense soon."

As he spoke, he sent a message to the inside of the Seclusion Room: "Wife, quickly come out of seclusion, the Heavenly Tribulation is near, I will take you through it."

Inside the Seclusion Room, Wang Yue was closing her eyes, feeling the sudden change in her physique and Root Bone.

Immersed in that magical sensation.

Suddenly, she heard the message.

"Lord Husband?"

Her first reaction was that she might be hallucinating, after all, judging the time, it wasn’t supposed to be the day for Lord Husband to return from Central State.

But then, she felt a sense of palpitations!

Could it really be the Heavenly Tribulation?

There was no time for her to think further, she quickly abandoned the idea of continuing her seclusion, and after one complete Circulation, she rushed out of the Seclusion Room.

Sure enough, Lord Husband was already waiting in the great hall.

"It really is Lord Husband?"

Wang Yue’s eyes lit up with joy, and she instinctively stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him.

Even because her attention was all on Lord Husband, she hardly noticed Liu Qingqing standing by.

But even if she did notice, she didn’t care.

The two of them had served Lord Husband together last time and no longer cared about these details.

"Cough, the Heavenly Tribulation is imminent, wife, quickly follow me to find an open space," Gu Changge urged, sensing the Tribulation Clouds beginning to form in the sky, not daring to delay any further.

The Gu Family had many members, naturally, they could not undergo the Tribulation at home.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is imminent?"

"What do you mean, is Lord Husband going to break through to the Sage Realm?"

"So fast, how is it already the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!"

Wang Yue was somewhat surprised to see the Ninth Grade Realm aura on her husband, but she didn’t think the Heavenly Tribulation was caused by her.

She was also puzzled, why didn’t Lord Husband undergo the Tribulation in Central State but instead rush back?

And what did Lord Husband mean by his earlier words, what does it mean to take her through the Tribulation?

The Heavenly Tribulation can also take her along?

Could there be some benefit?

Seeing her complete misunderstanding, Gu Changge did not explain further, but directly grabbed her wrist, took a step, and they arrived above Gu Family’s main city.

A quick glance revealed that within the Gu Family’s main city, there were cultivators everywhere, definitely not a place for undergoing the Tribulation.

So, he simply took another step, and the two of them were already at an open space about a hundred miles outside the Gu Family’s main city.

He felt around, no cultivator’s aura, mostly just some little beasts that hadn’t opened their Spirit Intelligence, which shouldn’t attract the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation.

To be deemed as interfering by the Heavenly Tribulation, one would need to be a cultivator at the least. Mortals stepping into the midst of the Tribulation wouldn’t catch its concern too much, although they might be affected by the Tribulation, the slightest touch could turn them to ash.

But Gu Changge had the ability to completely refine the Heavenly Tribulation, there was no need for the Tribulation to descend, so it wouldn’t harm the innocent.

As long as no cultivators entered the area, that was sufficient.

Just as he thought this, he saw figures rushing towards them.

Among them were Gu Zhan and a group of Gu Family Elders, all wearing expressions of curiosity.

There were also many cultivators from the city who were eager to see what was happening; this Young Master Gu’s every move could draw everyone’s attention!

"The Heavenly Tribulation is near, I ask everyone to stay beyond eighty miles,"

"If the Tribulation locks onto your aura, I cannot save you," Gu Changge had no choice but to use his Spiritual Energy to disperse his voice as a reminder.

As his voice fell, some figures already stopped in their tracks, while others continued forward a little further.

"What did Young Master Gu just say?"

"Something about the Heavenly Tribulation being near?"

"Holy shit!"

"Is that for real?"

"Never mind, true or not, let’s retreat!"

Those who didn’t react immediately were startled after advancing a distance and hurriedly fled back.

Although the scope of the Tribulation was roughly thirty to fifty miles round.

But to be safe, he still said eighty miles.

And those people, for the sake of caution, directly left the area within a hundred miles!

At the same time, they charged their eyes with spiritual energy and looked on from a distance, some not quite believing that there could be a Heavenly Tribulation in the Northern Domain.

Could it be that Young Master Gu wanted to use this homecoming to make a breakthrough into the Sage Realm?

That would be too astonishing!

"This... Is the Young Master about to break through to the Sage Realm?"

"Could it be that he specifically returned to the family to make a breakthrough, does the family have some kind of opportunity?"

A group of Gu Family Elders looked at each other, wide-eyed and small-eyed, unable to guess the reason.

Even the Family Head Gu Zhan furrowed his brows slightly.

Looking on from afar, above Gu Changge’s head, a black Tribulation Cloud had already begun to gather, emitting a heart-palpitating aura, just one glance would instinctively induce a fear to flee.

But even if he wanted to transcend the tribulation in the Northern Domain, was there any need to bring along that girl Wang Yue?

What was he planning to do?

"Hiss... Look quickly, it truly seems to be a Heavenly Tribulation!"

"That black one, it must be the Tribulation Cloud, just one look and you can feel the terrifying power contained within, as if just touching it would result in death and destruction of one’s path!"

"Is this the might of heaven and earth..."

"But why does Young Master Gu need to bring that Little Princess of the Northern Domain with him to cross the tribulation?"

"It surely can’t be for the sake of love’s martyrdom, can it?"

A group of onlooking cultivators also felt the terrifying power within the Tribulation Cloud, but were also very curious as to why he would stand under the Tribulation Cloud with Wang Yue, the Little Princess of the Northern Domain.

No one believed that this Heavenly Tribulation was caused by Wang Yue; everyone guessed in unison that the Heavenly Tribulation must be because Young Master Gu was about to break through to the Sage Realm!

Soon, within just about a dozen breaths, the Tribulation Cloud had already become restless.

Standing under the Heavenly Tribulation, Wang Yue felt an oppressive, terrifying aura, and she couldn’t help but shrink closer to Lord Jun.

Because of Gu Changge’s participation, this Heavenly Tribulation was tens of times more terrifying than what Liu Qingqing had faced at the Heavenly Cold Sect!

It was not something she, at the peak of the Sixth Grade Annihilation Realm, could withstand!

Even the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning would be fatal!

"Lord Jun... why must I cross this Heavenly Tribulation with you?"

Wang Yue stammered out her question, her gaze towards Lord Jun held a mix of helplessness and grievance.

"This is your tribulation; your Root Bone has already reached Saint Body, which is intolerable by the heavens and earth."

"But don’t worry, you only need to watch quietly."

Gu Changge explained casually.

However, due to the influence of the Heavenly Tribulation on Divine Sense, no one else could hear what he said.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue’s eyes widened in confusion.

But then, she saw Lord Jun suddenly soar into the sky, heading straight for the Tribulation Cloud!

"Lord Jun!" Wang Yue instinctively cried out in alarm.

He couldn’t possibly be seeking serious injury just to help her cross the tribulation, could he?

The power emitted by that Heavenly Tribulation filled her with immense fear.

This scene, witnessed by the crowd of onlookers, also caused a sudden burst of exclamations!

They had no idea why Young Master Gu had suddenly gone mad, charging directly into the Tribulation Cloud!

Soon, Gu Changge’s figure had already entered the Tribulation Cloud.

He immediately sat down and began to circulate his Cultivation Technique, and that first bolt of Tribulation Lightning, which was about to condense, was immediately attracted to him, striking him directly.

The onlookers couldn’t see through the Tribulation Cloud, only the silhouette of Young Master Gu charging into it; then his whole body was flickering with terrifying lightning bolts!

Wang Yue’s palms sweated as she watched, her face full of worry as she looked at the figure within the Tribulation Cloud.

But as time passed, they saw that the Tribulation Cloud was getting smaller and smaller...

Until after about 15 minutes, the terrifying Tribulation Cloud had completely disappeared into Gu Changge’s mouth with a single drawn breath.

Nothing was left except for him still standing in the original position of the Tribulation Cloud.

Everyone had their mouths open, not knowing what to say.

They were so shocked they couldn’t speak!

"This... Has the Young Master broken through to the Sage Realm just like that?"

"What about the nine deaths and one life crossing the tribulation, the extreme terror?"

"It feels like... the Young Master seems to be Refining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with shocking ease?"

"And moreover, the look on the Young Master’s face, it seems somewhat enjoyable?"

Gu Family Elders watched this scene, all of them dumbfounded.
