Chapter 973: Chapter 972: Crossing the Tribulation

Yusuf Zuck knew he owed too much, so he built this palace, so he decided to get married, because he wanted to give Ruth Wilcox, to give Miles O’Brien, to give Lily Case a home, a complete, solid home!

The wedding was modest and simple, yet lively and festive.

Under the blessings of all friends and relatives, Yusuf Zuck held the ceremony with Ruth Wilcox, Miles O’Brien, Lily Case, Selena Gould, and Ruby Wood, followed by a sumptuous banquet.

In this lonely world, amid the vastness of the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, Yusuf Zuck achieved another growth in his life.

And the life after marriage was also narrow and wonderful, with Yusuf Zuck spending every day with the women either working the fields or chatting into the night by candlelight.

He didn’t hurry to ascend but instead focused on starting over as a person, and gradually, his otherworldly aura also disappeared.

There were wild nights, and there were days of unbridled lust.

For a full six months, Yusuf Zuck did not go anywhere.

Of course, during those six months, apart from Ruby Wood, even Selena Gould joined his household, and there were numerous wild nights.

Actually, when you have several milky bodies lying in bed with you, even if you are an immortal, you will immediately become a mere mortal. Yusuf Zuck wasn’t afraid of being ridiculed, as he felt this was the way of human relations, the normalcy of human emotions. Without it, one would no longer be considered human.

However, Ruby Wood was depressed; her eyes became dark with circles over the half a year, and she had grown much thinner.

Because she felt it was unfair. They had already honored Heaven and Earth in marriage, he had already married her, so why was she the only one neglected? What was the reason? Because she was a plant spirit? Not human?

Then one day, six months later, the day before Yusuf Zuck prepared for his ascension, he called Ruby Wood out alone, climbed to the top of the mountain, and walked by the Yin Yang Lake.

"Do you want to explain something to me?" Ruby Wood asked, feeling aggrieved.

"A few things," Yusuf Zuck said as he walked. "Agreeing to marry you was also to give the Elf Clan peace of mind, ensuring our transaction was completed."

"Secondly, I believe marriage should be based on feelings. Miles O’Brien, Ruth Wilcox, even Lily Case and I, we grew up together, walked this path together. Between us, besides indelible, unforgettable love, there’s also an unbreakable bond of kinship. In the hearts of me or them, we are family."

"Even for Selena Gould, she has accompanied me through many a lonely time."

"But you are different. You are the result of a transaction completed, and our relationship has not reached the point where we would sacrifice our lives for each other!"

"So they would sacrifice their lives for you? What kind of logic is that?" Ruby Wood retorted, unconvinced.

"Indeed, they would, even Selena Gould, sacrifice their lives for me, and I would do the same for them. This is the difference between you and me, you and them!"

"Of course, since I have given you marriage, I have never thought of giving up on you, just not now."

"They would really sacrifice their lives for you?" Ruby Wood found it unbelievable. In her mind, spouses themselves were dual cultivators, birds of the same forest that would fly away separately when disaster struck!

"I don’t want to argue about these things. The third point I want to say is, having married you, I will not give up on you. One day, I will also sacrifice my life for you!"

"As for why I’m neglecting you now, it’s because I think we still need to keep in touch, and you still need to change your mentality. Of course, I’ll also continue to save your people!"

"What mentality do I need to change? I’m already your wife!" Ruby Wood exclaimed loudly.

Yusuf Zuck gave her a cold glance, "In your heart, it is only your people who hold the top spot, not me!"

"I think, now, if both I and your people were faced with a threat to our lives at the same time, you would help your people, not me!"

"Uh..." Ruby Wood was instantly at a loss for words. What Yusuf Zuck said was... was a fact. They had not yet established the kind of bond that would make them share life and death together; in her heart, he was not as important as her people.

"But... but I love my people, is that wrong?" Ruby Wood said with tears in her eyes.

"There’s nothing wrong with that, but before you love your people, you should love your husband more. You’re married now; since you’ve started a family, then the family should come first, everything else should be secondary."

"Alright, that’s all I have to say. Reflect on it yourself. And, don’t just sit in your room all day. The land in Nanshan is being extensively developed. You haven’t done any work there these days. Learn to weave, learn to handle some household chores, and learn to be a... a normal person, a normal woman!"

With a "swoosh," Yusuf Zuck finished speaking and stepped out of Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.

...

Yusuf Zuck was now in a Cultivation Plane, sitting atop an overseas island on a planet.

Those who ascended from this plane were all guided by a sect from a higher plane, and that sect was Campbell Sect.

This plane was managed by Campbell Sect, unlike the chaos of the Origin Star System. The cultivators ascending from the Origin Star System would be guided by different sects. Hence, the Origin Star System was a very special and transcendent star system where all the powers from the higher planes had some sort of essential contact within it.

Yusuf Zuck did not enter the door inside the soul pearl to guide energy because he had the Creation Pill. Thus, he avoided contact with the supreme presence behind that door as much as possible, otherwise, he’d inevitably get his shoes wet one day.

It’s said that one can’t walk by the river without getting their shoes wet. If he guided the energy from there time after time, the people inside would certainly be ready to catch him, and if he slipped up one day, it would be a catastrophe.

Of course, although he didn’t believe that the people inside could catch him, now that he had the Creation Pill, why suffer the torment of mental energy attacks? Every time he penetrated that door using Telekinesis, he would suffer the impact of mental energy from the masters inside, which is why he always emerged vomiting blood.

After sitting quietly on the small island for a full day, as night fell, Yusuf Zuck finally opened his eyes, peeled off the wax seal of the Creation Pill, and placed the Creation Pill in his mouth!

With a "boom," the Creation Pill dissolved upon entry, turning into an eager warm current that instantly flowed into his meridians and converged into his Dantian, causing his entire Dantian to rapidly expand. Then, as boundless energy burst forth, his realm climbed higher without any surprises. After a few breaths, he had reached Mahayana Perfection, and the Seven Nine Heavens Tribulation loomed directly above him.

He still had to cross-over three tribulations before he could attract the Immortal Tribulation.

The efficacy of that Creation Pill, made by someone unknown, was unimaginably potent. You must understand that he had the powers of the Nine Infants; ordinary Elixirs were simply insufficient to support his advancement, let alone to withstand the Immortal Tribulation?

Ominous clouds gathered overhead, thunder boomed, and the might of the Seven Nine Heavens Tribulation’s lightning was tremendous. The nearby sea churned with giant waves, and the downpour was as though buckets were being emptied, making it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.

The lightning struck, thick and powerful, dazzling and painfully bright.

However... Yusuf Zuck sat steadfastly on the island, immovable as a mountain!
