Chapter 815: Chapter 814: Stirring Trouble

"She’s crossed the fourth Immortal Tribulation!" When Lü Gong and Emperor Qing left, Lily Case had already crossed four waves of Immortal Tribulation, and at this moment, she was in disarray, with much of her clothing scorched by lightning and fire.

One of her shoulders was exposed, and since she was wearing Yusuf Zuck’s long robe without shoes, and the robe was burnt with many holes, her appearance was vaguely discernible, provoking countless ripples.

However, at the moment Lily Case was solely focused on crossing the tribulation, so she did not care about those unabashedly covetous eyes!

Yusuf Zuck, however, saw those brazen stares, so he was furious, practically ready to leap out and kill someone.

"Good!" After the fifth Immortal Tribulation was crossed, everyone shouted in approval, regardless of whether they were enemies or not, they all clapped for her at this exciting moment. Even Master Blackwell had only crossed two thunderbolts, not making it past the third, but now Lily Case was crossing the fifth, and she had already started on the sixth.

You should know, with each additional wave she crossed, Lily Case would have stronger qualifications after transforming into an Earth Immortal, with a better spiritual root, her cultivation level could advance by leaps and bounds, and crossing one more wave meant she harnessed more energy from the Immortal Tribulation. Her reconstructed Earth Immortal body would contain even denser Immortal Spirit Qi!

"Could she possibly ascend?" After the sixth wave of the crossing was over, everyone’s breathing grew heavy. For countless years, no one had ascended, but could Lily Case rewrite history?

"Her vigor seems to be endless; perhaps she really could cross the Immortal Tribulation and ascend!"

Everyone was filled with anticipation, even Koen Zuck vaguely hoped that Lily Case could break the pattern, curious to witness what a cultivator ascending looked like!

However, just after she crossed the seventh Immortal Tribulation, Lily Case suddenly surged upwards toward the tribulation clouds, prompting everyone to shout in surprise!

"She’s not crossing any further, she’s going to transform into an Earth Immortal!" Upon seeing this scene, everyone realized that although she still had the capacity to cross the Immortal Tribulation, she chose to transform into an Earth Immortal instead of ascending!

"What a pity, such a pity, she had the ability to take on the last two waves of tribulation, she had a chance to ascend!" Mr. Ning sighed with regret, shaking his head incessantly!

"Boom~" As the eighth Immortal Tribulation struck down, at that very moment, Lily Case’s Dantian surged, and immediately a flesh-colored Nascent Soul escaped in a flash, abandoning the physical body in mid-air!

With a "bang," the eighth Immortal Tribulation smashed the body without the Nascent Soul into fragments, while Lily Case’s flesh-colored Nascent Soul quickly landed on the ground and then rapidly lifted its head, starting to grow swiftly.

The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have fulfilled their mission, dispersing quickly after destroying the challenger’s physical body, while Lily Case’s flesh-colored tiny Nascent Soul grew to over a meter tall in a single breath and, after another breath, she had instantaneously reached adulthood, her appearance identical to what she looked like before.

"Swish," a large robe was suddenly thrown her way, and the one who threw the robe turned out to be a female Earth Immortal, an outsider from the Southern Continent.

"Thank you!" Lily Case immediately donned the robe, and her gaze turned cold as she swept it across those dumbstruck, greedy onlookers.

"Heart’s Delight..." The Water Immortal floated down at this moment, her face also adorned with joy.

However, just as she was about to land beside Lily Case, suddenly, a streak of golden light appeared from afar: "A decree from the Emperor..."

"A decree?" All the cultivators looked astonished at the approaching golden light, which was a person, a Golden Pill Monk, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, holding a golden yellow scroll in both hands.

"The Emperor’s decree has arrived, Lily Case, receive the order!" The Golden Pill Monk holding the decree maintained a dignified demeanor.

"An imperial decree for me? Are you sure you’re not joking?" Lily Case asked curiously.

"Hahaha..." Thousands of people burst out laughing. An imperial decree for an Earth Immortal from the Emperor? What a joke, not to mention Earth Immortals, wouldn’t an ordinary cultivator use such a decree as nothing more than toilet paper?

It seemed like the one announcing the decree knew that Lily Case would not kneel to receive it, and with a chuckle, unfolded the scroll and read aloud, "By the mandate of heaven, the Emperor proclaims, since ascending the throne, peace has reigned throughout the land, with the people living in harmony and prosperity, the nation thriving and the people safe. Our cultivators of Saint Dragon have broken through the prohibitions, continuously producing Earth Immortals, heralding the auspicious omens for our Saint Dragon Empire!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

"Well said, well said!"

"Truly an auspicious sign!"

Many people nodded in deep agreement.

The imperial herald continued reading, "Now, as Lily Case from the Case family has descended as a celestial maiden, the Emperor extends his warm congratulations, and as the Emperor has long admired the fairy and after discussing with the related clan of the Case family, I hereby bestow upon Lily the title of Esteemed Consort. The ceremony shall be held soon, and all under heaven shall rejoice together!"

"Uh..." Lily Case was instantly baffled, and all the cultivators were equally stunned. Was the old Emperor trying to forcefully take her? To directly decree an Earth Immortal as a consort? But he seemed to have mentioned consulting with the Case family—did Lily Case have any parents or relatives? They were unaware of this!

"Seeking death!"

With a "pfft," a Golden Spear suddenly pierced through the head of the herald who was a Golden Pill Monk; and upon a slight tremor, the monk’s head exploded, and then, as the spear swept across, a group of eunuchs also instantly burst their flesh, dead beyond death!

"Burn!" Koen Zuck targeted his anger and, with a flick of his finger, the so-called imperial decree immediately caught fire and was reduced to ashes in an instant!

"Hahaha..." Seeing this scene, all the cultivators burst into laughter once more. What kind of act was the old Emperor putting on? Well, now the imperial decree was burned, and the herald was dead!

"Lily Case is the wife-to-be of this immortal. Those who dare to covet her, kill!" Koen Zuck shouted.

"Indeed, indeed, Lily is betrothed to Koen, and the wedding will take place in Capital City in three days. I invite all fellow cultivators and friends to join us at the Five Elements Venue for the celebration!" Sect Master Asher Zuck also declared loudly; he was openly defying the old Emperor!

Lily Case frowned slightly, but just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly interrupted.

It was Mr. Ning.

"Gentlemen, I heard that Miss Case does not have feelings for young Koen, does she? The man is willing, but the woman is not," Mr. Ning suddenly said with a smile.

"Hmph, have your brains been burnt out by your cultivation, or did you drink a bowl of manure for breakfast?" Lily Case finally became angry. What was all this nonsense? The Emperor wanted to take her for himself, and that shameless Koen was claiming she was betrothed to him and even planning a wedding in three days? What did these people take her for? A plaything?

"I, Lily Case, already have a loved one. I hope everyone will refrain from making such frivolous remarks. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to me and my loved one. I will surely kill those who do so. Everyone, I take my leave!" With a flourish of her sleeves, Lily Case suddenly rose into the air!

"Miss, please wait!"

With a "whoosh," an ethereal hand suddenly formed in the void and just as Lily Case leaped into the air, that ethereal hand forcefully captured her!

Lily Case had just finished solidifying her body after Crossing the Immortal Tribulation and was in a period of weakness; she needed to stabilize for at least ten days to half a month. Therefore, she was very weak at that moment, and thus, when the ethereal hand reached for her, she was unable to resist.

"What are you doing?" Koen Zuck suddenly roared, thrusting his spear toward Mr. Ning!

It was Mr. Ning who made the move to capture Lily Case!
