344: Chapter 344 The Hidden Heavenly Tribulation

One day later, the Tianduan Mountains returned to their original position. Having experienced the battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Destroyer, the Prodigies of the Heavenly Court all gained many insights and began to enter seclusion one after another.

"Brother Lin, what about Sister Shangguan?" At this moment, Wang Shirui and the others finally could not hold back anymore and asked this question they were most concerned about.

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion, Kunkun, and the others had not yet left, and upon hearing this, they also looked over.

"What else can we do?" Lin Bei spread his hands. "Of course, we go to the Immortal Realm and take her back..."

"Take... take her back?" Luo Qingcheng was the first to jump out, blinking her beautiful eyes. "Brother Lin, not to mention whether we can beat that Immortal Emperor Dongfang, even how to get to the Immortal Realm is a problem..."

"That's right!" The women only then realized belatedly. "Lin Bei and we are already True Immortals now; by all logic, we should be able to Ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"But now there is neither a Lightning Tribulation nor a Gate of Ascension. What is going on..."

"Perhaps... it's because we didn't Cultivate through normal means?"

Speaking of this, the group cast their gaze toward the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion.

An old man in the house is like a treasure; they believed the old man before them should be able to provide an explanation.

"Uh... this..." The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion's expression carried a hint of oddity. "Actually, that's not the reason!"

"Whether it is through self-Cultivation or the creation of heaven and earth, both can equally attract a Heavenly Tribulation. The reason you didn't encounter a Heavenly Tribulation... is because I was busy fighting the Immortal Emperor at that time! I didn't have time..."

"What?" Lin Bei and the others were stunned, not reacting for a moment. "Senior, this... what does this mean?"

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion shook his head and chuckled, casually waving his right hand toward the sky.

"Boom!"

Immediately, layers of black clouds appeared out of thin air in the sky, and streaks of lightning flashed within the black clouds, letting anyone know at a glance that these were the clouds of the Lightning Tribulation!

This scene left Lin Bei and the others stunned once again, and a bold guess arose in their hearts.

"Holy crap! No way! No way?" The Fire Bird flapped its wings, circling around the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion again and again. "Old man, could it be that you..."

"That's right!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion no longer hid it. "The Lightning Tribulation of the Primordial Continent has always been secretly controlled by me!"

"This... this... this..." Such explosive news made even Kunkun stutter. "Old man, you aren't pulling our legs, are you?"

Lin Bei, Yun Qianyun, and Zixia also looked at the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion with suspicious eyes.

There was no help for it; this claim was truly too unbelievable...

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion casually pulled out a chicken leg, took a big bite, and then rolled his eyes at the group before him.

"What benefit would it be for an old man like me to fool you?"

After saying this, he waved his hand again.

The black clouds covering the sky immediately vanished, and in their place was a golden pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.

Within the pillar of light, continuous rosy clouds shone down, captivating and alluring, making one yearn to bathe in them, as if one could Ascend to the heavens.

"There!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion pointed at the golden pillar of light. "After passing the Lightning Tribulation, you can enter the Immortal Realm through this Ascension channel..."

Lin Bei and the others looked at each other, all with dumbfounded expressions.

The channel to the Immortal Realm was just summoned by him so casually?

No matter how you looked at it, it gave people a feeling of being unreal...

"Hey, hey, hey?" The Fire Bird suddenly clamored. "Old man, what if this bird hasn't experienced a Heavenly Tribulation, but still wants to go in?"

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion glanced at him, the corner of his mouth curling up. "How big of a deal is that? Given our relationship, isn't it just a matter of a single word?"

"Great, great, great!" Upon hearing this, Kunkun immediately became excited. "This way, I can go and wreak havoc in the Immortal Realm with Boss!"

Lin Bei couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, still feeling a bit uneasy. "Senior, does this channel really have no restrictions?"

"Rest assured!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion said confidently. "Many Great Emperors have been sent into the Immortal Realm by me in this way; safety is guaranteed!"

"It's just that..." He hesitated slightly. "It is simple for you to enter the Immortal Realm, but it will be too difficult if you want to come back..."

Just as Lin Bei was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that two people in the crowd had very ugly expressions.

Jiang Yunyi, Shi Qingxuan, and the two Dragon brothers had also not left.

The Dragon brothers were pale at this moment, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they were trying their best to suppress their impulses.

"Two Fellow Daoists?" Just as Lin Bei spoke, it struck his mind like lightning, and he understood the reason for the two of them acting this way.

Long Bing and Long Yan's parents, the former Flame Dragon Emperor and Ice Dragon Emperor, had both perished under the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the past, they had always thought the Heavenly Tribulation was controlled by the Heavenly Dao and could only grieve in secret.

Now that they suddenly knew the truth, they really could not look at the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion with indifference.

"The two of you..." Lin Bei sighed softly. "I think Senior only has the ability to open the Heavenly Tribulation and cannot control it. Your parents..."

"Wrong!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion. "Those two old dragons were intentionally struck to death by me!"

"You, you, you..." Before others could react, the Fire Bird was the first to express dissatisfaction. "You old man! How could you do such a thing?"

"Even if you really did it on purpose, you shouldn't have said it out loud now! This, this, this... how it ruins the harmony!"

"Back then!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion did not pay attention to Kunkun, only glancing at the Dragon brothers, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"Those two old dragons Undergoing Tribulation together was rare even in the Primordial Continent. When I was bored, I also went to the scene to watch..."

"It just so happened that I saw you two little dragons also watching the Tribulation. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that you both had quite a bit of talent!"

"So, on a whim, I struck those two old dragons to death before your eyes, thinking it would stimulate you to Cultivate and add two more experts to the Primordial Continent..."

Speaking of this, he scanned the two of them again. "It's a pity, the effect did not seem very great! Perhaps it was because I overestimated your talent!"

Long Bing and Long Yan did not care at all about the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion's evaluation of them at this moment.

They heard a clue from the other party's words and hurriedly asked impatiently, "Senior, what do you mean by your words? Are our parents not dead?"

"I don't know!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion smiled playfully. "They have been in the Immortal Realm for so many tens of thousands of years; who knows if they have been killed by someone else..."

"The Immortal Realm? Our parents really did not die under the Heavenly Tribulation, but successfully Ascended to the Immortal Realm?!" The two brothers were extremely excited.

They did not doubt at all that the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion was lying to them; at the other party's level, there was absolutely no need to do so.

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion no longer hid anything at this point. "In fact, all the Great Emperors recorded in the Primordial Continent as having died under the Heavenly Tribulation were just illusions; they all entered the Immortal Realm!"

Once these words were spoken, the people around looked at each other, not expecting such a secret.

After a few breaths, Lin Bei sighed softly. "Senior truly has good intentions!"

"Uh..." The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion raised the chicken leg in his hand and took another bite, returning to his uninhibited appearance. "This is nothing, just something I did along the way!"

The crowd cast their gaze toward the golden pillar of light again, no longer doubting its authenticity at this moment.

"Brother Lin, since that's the case, should we head to the Immortal Realm now?" Luo Qingcheng was the first to ask.
