89: Chapter 89 The Widow on Her Wedding Night?

"Then when will you set off for the Central Region?"

"Anytime is fine. There is an inter-regional teleportation Formation in the City Lord Mansion's treasury. Borrowing this Formation, one can reach the Central Region in an instant without having to cross the Boundless Sea."

Xiao Yurou was somewhat surprised. She had been to the treasury countless times, so how come she didn't know about any teleportation Formation?

She hesitated for a moment, then took an item out of her storage ring and handed it to Su Mo.

"You are about to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, aren't you? Then you should go after you make your Breakthrough."

Su Mo immediately understood what was in her hand.

"If I use this Nascent Soul Pill, what will you use?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yurou covered her lips and chuckled softly.

"The City Lord Mansion has vast resources; I have plenty of these things here."

As she spoke, she took out another handful of Nascent Soul Pills, at least seven or eight of them.

The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched.

He had almost forgotten that she was the apple of the City Lord Mansion's eye; how could she be lacking in cultivation resources?!

Thus, Su Mo accepted the Medicinal Pill with peace of mind. After all, he was now half the master of the City Lord Mansion; wasn't everything in the City Lord Mansion his anyway?

It was just moving things from his left hand to his right!

However, Su Mo also kept this matter in his heart.

He looked into Xiao Yurou's eyes and thought to himself:

"True friendship is in the heart. In the future, when I rise to prominence, there will definitely be a place for you!"

Xiao Yurou's entire face flushed red from his stare, and she stamped her feet in shyness:

"Don't... don't look, I'll take you to the seclusion room..."

Half an hour later.

The Golden Core inside Su Mo's Dantian had solidified to the point where it could not solidify any further, with gold and pink colors interweaving within his Dantian.

Through the open aperture above the seclusion room, it was clear that the tribulation clouds in the sky had begun to gather.

Su Mo took a deep breath and swallowed the Nascent Soul Pill.

"Bang—bang—"

A massive medicinal power dissipated within his body. The Golden Core in Su Mo's Dantian began to pulse as if it had life, and the frequency of this pulsing gradually synchronized with the frequency of his heart, causing the two to resonate!

"Crack!"

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Golden Core. As it pulsed, the cracks began to spread along the nine pink lines.

Finally—

"Crack!"

The Golden Core shattered completely. A pink, jade-carved miniature Su Mo sat cross-legged above the Spirit Base Dao Platform. The shattered shell of the Golden Core turned into the purest Spiritual Qi, which was completely absorbed by the newly born Nascent Soul with every breath.

"Rumble—"

The lightning clouds outside were about to brew to their peak. Lightning flashed within the clouds, emitting bursts of muffled thunder.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage requires surviving twenty-seven Lightning Tribulations and a Heart Demon Tribulation.

The guests at the wedding banquet and Xiao Duanjiang naturally noticed the commotion caused by Su Mo Undergoing Tribulation.

The guests cupped their hands and offered congratulations one after another:

"Congratulations, City Lord Xiao! The City Lord Mansion has added another Nascent Soul expert! This is truly a double celebration!"

Xiao Duanjiang smiled from ear to ear and waved his large sleeve:

"Congratulations to us all! Today, there is plenty of Spirit Wine and Spirit food for everyone; let's not stop until we're drunk!"

Xiao Duanjiang looked at the tribulation clouds in the distance, a flash of relief in his eyes:

Not long after I left, someone is already about to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul. It seems the decision I made was indeed correct!

It's just that I don't know if it's my cheap son-in-law or Yurou...

One of his good friends suddenly came over to persuade him to drink, interrupting his train of thought.

Who cares! Once they've entered my Xiao family's door, they are my Xiao family's people!

"Come, come, come! Drink!"

"Boom!"

A purple bolt of lightning had just revealed its head when it instantly struck Su Mo, and only then did the sound of thunder arrive late.

"Hiss! So refreshing!"

Su Mo couldn't help but shiver.

This Lightning Tribulation had been weakened by at least sixty percent under Su Mo's Low Grade Magic Treasure-level exoskeleton, High Grade Magic Treasure wedding attire, and Spirit Treasure bellyband. Not only did it not cause him any pain, but it felt like soaking in a hot spring, leaving his whole body feeling warm.

The only thing that caused a little trouble was the intent of destruction that seeped into his body without restraint, but under the effect of massive amounts of healing Medicinal Pills, this was completely a non-issue.

The Nascent Soul inside his body was even more excited, opening its little mouth to greedily devour the life force within the lightning.

"It seems I can play some tricks this time too. Hehehe..."

Su Mo curled the corners of his mouth and took out a simple spherical cage from his storage ring.

This was the Faraday cage he had prepared in advance; he had used up all the top-grade Spiritual Artifacts in his storage ring just to make one.

After placing the Faraday cage, Su Mo sat directly inside it, happily waiting for the next Lightning Tribulation.

"No, have you still not learned your lesson, you brat?!"

Hua Rumeng cursed and swore as she floated out from Su Mo's chest.

"It's only been a few days since the last Lightning Tribulation, why are you messing with these crooked ways again!"

After running far away, she pointed her jade-white finger at Su Mo and shouted.

Su Mo heard this and said seriously:

"Big Sister Hua, don't worry about me!"

"I am making a small contribution to the cultivation world. If the experiment succeeds, Cultivators will suffer fewer casualties when Undergoing Tribulation."

"If I die, it can also serve as a warning to them not to follow my example."

As he spoke, he revealed a look of facing death with equanimity.

"After all, my dream is..."

"To make everyone in this cultivation world like a Dragon!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Hua Rumeng trembled with anger:

"What are you pretending for, you brat? Isn't it just that you tasted the sweetness during the last Undergoing Tribulation!"

Su Mo could no longer hear Hua Rumeng's voice, because the second Lightning Tribulation had already fallen.

"Boom!"

The lightning struck the Faraday cage, immediately bursting forth with blinding purple light. The violent thunder was tamed and diverted, with only a few wisps of lightning striking Su Mo through the gaps.

"It's working!"

Su Mo looked at the frame of the Faraday cage, only to find that these top-grade Spiritual Artifacts had become red-hot, and fine cracks were beginning to appear on their surfaces.

"The Materials can't hold up!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up; if he used better Materials, he might really be able to survive the entire Lightning Tribulation.

At the same time, the Lightning Tribulation was indeed provoked, and the tribulation clouds began to expand rapidly.

Seeing this, Su Mo was not worried but happy instead:

"This Lightning Tribulation might just turn my exoskeleton into a Spirit Treasure! Hahaha..."

"Don't get happy too early, you brat!"

"This Lightning Tribulation already has nearly thirty percent of the power of a Soul Transformation Stage Lightning Tribulation!"

Hua Rumeng shouted anxiously from the side.

"Don't you die!"

Many of the guests at the wedding banquet were paying attention to the commotion on Su Mo's side. They were surprised to find that after two Lightning Tribulations, the tribulation clouds suddenly began to grow rapidly, and the power within them made even some veteran Nascent Soul experts feel danger.

"City Lord Xiao! You'd better go and take a look! These tribulation clouds are not right!"

Xiao Duanjiang heard this, his eyes narrowed, and the Spiritual Artifact-level wine cup in his hand was crushed with a "crack".

His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared at the edge of the tribulation clouds, only to see Su Mo sitting cross-legged in a strange cage, with joy on his face.

The tribulation clouds had expanded to cover a small half of the City Lord Mansion, and the lightning rolling within the clouds had actually taken on a cyan tint!

"Brat! What are you doing?!"

Xiao Duanjiang roared anxiously.

He could only watch and stare; if he dared to help Su Mo, the power of the Lightning Tribulation would increase to the Void Refining Stage. With his current cultivation, he could not possibly survive it, let alone Su Mo.

Could it be that my daughter, Xiao Duanjiang's daughter, is going to become a widow on the very first day of her wedding?

Hearing Xiao Duanjiang's roar, Su Mo curled the corners of his mouth:

"Yo! Father-in-law, you've come too!"

"Wait until I finish Undergoing Tribulation, and I'll explain it to you in detail!"
