469: Prepare to ascend

“Alright, I’ll wait for that day to come, but I hope you can find her then!” Wen Y soft said coldly.

Zhu Ying snorted and was about to turn and leave.

“You, you don’t need to look for me anymore, I’m right here!” Zhu Zhu’s voice came.

“Ah?”

…

In the end, no matter how much Zhu Ying waited and pleaded, he couldn't get his wish.

Anger, unwillingness, and other emotions instantly surged into his heart, making Zhu Ying unable to suppress his inner rage any longer, and he began to roar in front of Wen Y soft’s door.

But this played right into Chen Xuan’s hands.

“Why! Why won’t you see Chen Xuan! And make it so I can’t see him either! What exactly do you all want to do!” Zhu Ying’s furious roar echoed throughout the entire courtyard, but there was no response from inside the door.

After a bout of venting, Zhu Ying realized that doing so was futile. He could only glare hatefully at the closed door, then, like a defeated rooster, he turned and left, looking utterly dejected.

Along the way, the more he thought, the more indignant he became, and he secretly swore in his heart: “Next time, no matter what, I must see Chen Xuan and gain more benefits from him! I absolutely cannot be dismissed so easily again!”

…

On Chen Xuan’s side, watching the Gardenia team’s members continuously increase, with each woman, whether youthful and beautiful, charming and alluring, matriarchal, or dignified and majestic, gathered around Chu Yinyao, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless, and could only shake his head gently.

There was truly nothing he could do; he had no resistance to the style of this Gardenia team. One might ask, which man in this world could resist the charming allure and tactics of the Gardenia team? Which one could?

Seeing Chen Xuan shake his head, Chu Yinyao playfully looked at Chen Xuan and softly asked, “How is it, my Young Master Chen, are you satisfied now?”

“Oh, you! You really make me not know what to do. Now just tell me directly, besides these people you brought, are there any other suitable candidates? If not, then I really am going to ‘Ascension’!” After saying that, Chen Xuan even deliberately made a gesture as if he wanted to escape.

“Uh…” Chu Yinyao parted her red lips, letting out a hesitant murmur.

“What do you mean by ‘uh’? Either there is, or there isn’t, can you be more direct!”

Chu Yinyao bit her lip slightly, then softly said, “Actually, there are two more, but they usually live in seclusion and rarely show themselves, and I’m not particularly familiar with them.”

“Oh? Them?? There are still so many? Who are they? How many more people like this exist?” Chen Xuan pressed.

“Hmm… Actually, it’s just Madam Guo and Dragon Girl.”

Hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly slapped his thigh: “Hey! Don’t even mention it, don’t even mention it…! When I usually read those comprehensive martial arts works, I really can see similar ones…

It’s just a pity that my favorite Ning Zhongze didn't appear, which is quite regrettable to think about. But upon closer thought, it’s reasonable, after all, who told her she wasn't blessed with the so-called Mandate of Heaven.”

Chu Yinyao looked bewildered, blinking her large eyes and curiously asking, “Comprehensive martial arts? Ning Zhongze?? What exactly are those?”

Chen Xuan scratched his head, revealing an awkward smile, and said, “Uh, well, even if I told you, you probably wouldn’t understand, so let’s just forget it. I’ll explain it to you in detail later when I have the chance.”

Chu Yinyao’s eyes instantly flashed with surprise upon hearing this: “Really? That’s great!”

For her, the meaning behind Chen Xuan’s words wasn’t that he would have time to spend specifically with her! And for her, that was the best gift.

Thinking of this, a faint blush involuntarily spread across Chu Yinyao’s pretty face, as delicate and charming as Peach Blossom blooming in spring.

“When have I ever lied to you! At the very least, your Gardenia team is, to some extent, my… great hero!”

“Hmph, I knew it, you clearly like it very much!” Chu Yinyao proudly lifted her fair chin upon hearing Chen Xuan’s admission.

…

In the following days, Chen Xuan traveled to the Lower Realm with Huang Rong and Little Dragon Girl.

Along the way, they experienced various strange sceneries of the Lower Realm and went through many interesting and thrilling adventures. Finally, Chen Xuan successfully achieved his long-cherished goal—he “personally” accomplished his most desired wish, and only then did he stop, feeling completely satisfied.

After all these matters were properly handled, the Gardenia team could no longer find any hidden allies, and Chen Xuan finally settled down, with no more worries in the vast Cultivation World.

After making thorough preparations, Chen Xuan, under the concerned gazes of Bi Xiao and the others, began to systematically prepare for Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension.

Just then, Kyle, who was pregnant, and the gentle and graceful Lin Rou also appeared at the opportune moment, intending to assist Chen Xuan in Undergoing Tribulation.

However, this time Chen Xuan did not bring the two women: “For this Undergoing Tribulation, I want to test my true strength and try to absorb all the Lightning Tribulation power by myself. You don’t need to worry, I will be fine.”

With that, Chen Xuan took a decisive step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from his original spot, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared outside.

The moment he emerged, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to impact his cultivation Bottleneck. After his Gardenia operation in the Inner World and his own auxiliary functions, his cultivation had long reached the fullest state of Mahayana Peak, ready to Breakthrough at any time.

Not long after, with a soft “pop,” the Qi that had been calmly flowing within Chen Xuan’s body erupted like a volcanic eruption, rapidly expanding at an astonishing speed.

The Qi was so powerful that in the blink of an eye, it had already far surpassed the Qi intensity that should be present in the Early Stage of Human Immortal, and this Qi was still continuously rising and strengthening!

“Boom!!!” As Chen Xuan’s Qi exploded, the sky around him instantly underwent drastic changes.

The originally clear blue sky was rapidly obscured by rolling dark clouds. These clouds were thick and heavy, as if they were about to crush the entire world.

And within these dark clouds, dazzling lightning bolts occasionally flashed, accompanied by deafening thunder. The rumbling sounds were like ten thousand horses galloping, or as if the sky and earth were collapsing, and the intense sense of oppression they brought made it almost impossible to breathe.

Facing such a terrifying sight, Chen Xuan showed no fear.

“Come on, let me see how powerful your Lightning Tribulation will be this time!” As he spoke, his muscles tensed, and his True Essence circulated wildly within his body, fully prepared to meet the heavy blow of the lightning.
