Chapter 1951: Xiao Hong’s Tribulation Transcendence

Four Nine Immortal Sect.

In the Sect Leader Palace.

Cloud and mist wafted through the air.

A young woman in a tight-fitting daoist robe that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure danced gracefully through the air while wielding a dagger in her hand.

A call suddenly sounded from outside.

“Sister Ye Ling, you’re still here at the Sect Leader Palace?” Xiao Ze was slightly surprised to see her.

“I’m cultivating here,” Ye Ling responded expressionlessly.

“Yes yes yes, whatever you say.” Xiao Ze grinned.

Ye Ling pursed her lips.

Xiao Ze sat down and heaved a faint sigh. “I really cannot compare to you when it comes to concern for our master…”

Ye Ling’s brows furrowed slightly. “What are you trying to say? Am I wrong to be concerned for Master’s safety?”

Xiao Ze hurriedly waved his hands. “No no, and don’t get all worked up. I’m just telling you not to be overly concerned. Master has only been away in a mystic realm for a month, and Master’s wife has accompanied him, so nothing could go wrong.”

“I’m not concerned about Master,” Ye Ling continued to slash her dagger through the air with an earnest expression. “I’m here to train my assassination techniques in this palace, is that prohibited?”

Xiao Ze: “…”

They were back to square one again.

“Your disciples have told me that you haven’t instructed them in assassination techniques for a month now…” A resigned expression appeared on Xiao Ze’s face.

“Tell them to continue training in my Dark Flash Sure Kill Technique. I don’t have time to instruct them.” Ye Ling sat down beside the sect leader’s chair and stared blankly at the shimmering, mercury-like dagger in her hand.

Xiao Ze scratched his head and didn’t know what to say anymore.

He didn’t know how to put her at ease. No matter what he said, she simply couldn’t help but be concerned about their master. Their master was so badass, there was no way any harm could come to him. His instincts told him that even if the entire world was destroyed, their master would be fine.

It was now a peace period with no major battles against the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army. Only a series of minor battles were taking place, but those were inconsequential.

This was something Xiao Ze liked to see.

Without An Lin here at the sect, he always felt a little uneasy. As such, it was perfect that the Heavenly Human Tribe had chosen a time like this to lie low.

“By the way, how’s Xiao Hong’s tribulation transcendence going?” Ye Ling asked.

Xiao Ze was slightly taken aback by this question. This was the first time in a month that Ye Ling had asked about anyone other than their master.

“The preparatory work is already complete. She’s going to transcend her tribulation on the grasslands outside the sect. Bai Ling has already set up measures so that even if Xiao Hong fails in her tribulation transcendence, Bai Ling will be able to ensure her survival,” Xiao Ze replied.

Ye Ling suddenly slashed her dagger in the air a few times toward the sect leader’s chair before a vibrant smile appeared on her face. “Let’s go cheer Xiao Hong on!”

“Huh? You’re not going to wait for Master anymore?” Xiao Ze faltered slightly upon hearing this.

Ye Ling blushed as she raised a fist. “I wasn’t waiting for him! I was cultivating!”

“Yes yes yes, whatever you say!” Xiao Ze chuckled as he fled into the distance.

On the grasslands outside of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

A little red flower swayed in the wind and faced the bright and beautiful sun as she sang in a sweet, enticing voice, “The sun hangs in the sky; the flowers smile at me…”

She was Xiao Hong of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. She was a mighty figure at the pinnacle of Return to Void Stage, and she had attained enlightenment after watching An Lin swallow a sun, thereby allowing her to take that final step.

She was going to successfully forge a Great Dao acknowledged by heaven and earth or die trying.

This was Xiao Hong’s mentality. She was going to become the sun or return to the sun’s embrace.

Of course, Bai Ling could use all types of technological measures to ensure Xiao Hong’s survival even if she failed her tribulation transcendence, but there would be no telling how long she could survive after that.

At this moment, countless Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples, elders, and pavilion lords were standing outside the tribulation transcendence formation.

Xiao Hong was an extremely popular mascot of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

She was a legendary flower who was now on the cusp of the legendary Dao Integration Stage after doing nothing but sunbathing and singing every day. All of the disciples admired her and yearned to be like her.

These disciples were already considered to be prodigies on the Tai Chu Continent, but they simply couldn’t compare to Xiao Hong! All they could do was to pray to Xiao Hong for luck whenever they were close to a breakthrough.

Now that the mascot of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was about to transcend a tribulation of her own, all of the disciples that hadn’t been deployed to the war fronts had now arrived to spectate her tribulation transcendence in the hope that some luck would rub off on them.

Su Qianyun, Xuanyuan Cheng, Liu Qianhuan, Tang Ximen, and all of An Lin’s old friends were here.

Disciples Xiao Tu, Xiao Ze, and Ye Ling were also present.

Da Bai, Xue Zhantian, Xiao Chou, Little Gu, and the beast pet team were all here.

Xiao Hong was An Lin’s first beast pet, so she was their big sister. She was now also going to be the first one among them to reach the Dao Integration Stage.

The slave team had also gathered, which included Little Lang, Merlin, Cassidy, and Tobias.

This tribulation transcendence was an extremely important matter to the Four Nine Immortal Sect. Even the powerful beings who were out on missions had come back for this occasion.

Xiao Hong was still singing.

Everyone listened on in silence.

The song came to a conclusion.

Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent.

A light breeze blew past, sending undulating waves running through the tall grass.

There was a single spot of red amid the sea of green.

At that moment, Xiao Hong’s red body seemed to have been imbued with the absolute light and heat of the sun.

The sun was clearly hanging high in the sky, but everything had descended into darkness in the blink of an eye.

“It’s about to begin,” Dongfang Zhuangshi mused.

Dongfang Mengjie had her arms wrapped around Dongfang Zhuangshi’s arm with a concerned expression on her face. “Will she succeed? I’ve heard that the success rate of tribulation transcendence for mighty figures at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Stage is quite low…”

“You have to look at who we’re talking about here. Xiao Hong is way too lazy. I don’t think she has any chance of ascending to the Dao Integration Stage.” Dongfang Zhuangshi was quite confident in his judgment.

“I believe in you, Xiao Hong!”

“Xiao Hong, always remember that you’re the best!”

“Elder Xiao Hong is invincible!”

Some of the Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples were already yelling at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded once again.

“I praise the sun and yearn for the sun.

“However, what I yearn for is not its heat…

“Instead…”

Whoosh!

A burst of golden light suddenly erupted from Xiao Hong’s body.

The golden light became more and more dazzling, until no one could see what was going on anymore.

Rumble…

The sky surged violently and was filled with boundless golden light.

One moment, Da Bai was looking at Xiao Hong, but in the next moment, he was blinded by this burst of golden light.

“Where is she? Where did Xiao Hong go? Woof!”

Da Bai put on a pair of doggie sunglasses, but he was still unable to find Xiao Hong.

Not only was he completely dumbstruck, but everyone else was also stumped. They discovered that Xiao Hong had truly disappeared right before their very eyes.

Even the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures present couldn’t tell what was going on.

Not only had Xiao Hong’s body disappeared, but even her aura had also vanished.

A period of silence ensued.

Where was Xiao Hong?
