Chapter 2036: Blessed By the Heavenly Dao

At times, a simple sentence was all that was required to enlighten someone.

Little Xie’s words completely dispelled all of the confusion in Little Hong Ling’s heart.

In that instant, Little Hong Ling seemed to have understood something.

She looked up at the omnipresent sky and recalled her past.

She insulted the heavens when eating, when sleeping, when engaged in battles, when bored… She insulted the heavens over and over again, and she had never considered the heavens’ feelings, but the heavens had still bestowed upon her so much. The heavens had given her a cultivation base that struck awe into the hearts of countless people and had presented to her one miraculous opportunity after another, and the heavens had even given her immortality, a trait sought-after by countless living beings…

“B*stard heavens, I’ve always been insulting and abusing you, but you’ve still been so good to me…” Little Hong Ling looked up into the sky with tears shimmering in her large, bright eyes. “Without your support, I would most likely already be dead and buried in some godforsaken corner. You gave me so much, but all I’ve given you is abuse in return. I’m sorry, I really am…”

The little girl had tears in her eyes, but an earnest smile appeared on her face. “Heavens, thank you for everything, and thank you for being so good to me. You’re the best!”

An Lin listened to Little Hong Ling’s words of gratitude and was struck by the urge to remind her that she was supposed to be praising the heavens rather than thanking the heavens. However, the phenomenon that took place immediately following her words of gratitude made him refrain from doing so.

Heavenly light surged as a layer of holy sheen suddenly appeared on the little girl’s body.

Her skin became translucent and pristine white as she stood in her pink dress on the drill ground. She was very serene and peaceful as the heavenly light surged like flowing water, making her appear like a holy, ethereal being.

In the next instant, immortal music reverberated between heaven and earth as iridescent light swept forth.

All of the immortals stopped cultivating, and even the Ancient Dragon Empress had stopped teaching. They were all staring at the little girl bathed in boundless heavenly light with looks of astonishment on their faces.

Vital energy surged for over five hundred kilometers, creating an extremely spectacular swirl of energy.

Extremely spectacular phenomena began to spread through the entire heaven and earth as a series of images of beautiful worlds began to appear in the sky. One peculiar god-like being appeared after another, and all of them extended their blessings to the little girl on the ground below, as if they wanted to bestow everything that was good and beautiful in this world upon her.

Bursts of energy and iridescent light converged toward Little Hong Ling.

“This is… the aura of the divine dao!”

“Divine phenomena appearing up above, and the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao resonating in unison… Exalted Immortal Hong Ling is about to construct a complete divine dao! Is she going to complete dao integration and progress to the Immortal King Stage?!”

All of the immortals on the drill ground were in an uproar.

The Immortal King Stage was the highest cultivation base on the Divine Source Continent, and the emergence of a new Immortal King was a monumental event that could rock the entire continent. Even on the Tai Chu Continent, an Immortal King would be at the tip of the cultivation pyramid, and all of the Return to Void Stage Exalted Immortals present were in envy and admiration toward her.

“I recall that Little Hong Ling just asked Sect Leader An Lin for some cultivation advice, right?”

“That’s right, and Sect Leader An Lin was getting her to grow up and regress over and over again!”

“So that means Sect Leader An Lin managed to get Little Hong Ling to take that near-impossible step after instructing her for less than two hours?”

“Gasp…”

Almost all of the Exalted Immortals drew a sharp intake of breath.

They all turned to An Lin with shock and a hint of intense yearning in their eyes.

They really wanted to be instructed by Sect Leader An Lin as well!

An Lin had naturally also detected the intense gazes coming from the Exalted Immortals, but he wore a completely oblivious expression. He had a feeling that these Exalted Immortals seemed to have misunderstood something…

This breakthrough had caused a massive commotion.

Many of the powerful beings and mighty figures in Yue Tong City couldn’t help but approach the drill ground in order to spectate these magnificent heaven and earth phenomena.

“Isn’t that one of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Divine Source Pavilion members who’s transcending her tribulation?”

“Holy sh*t! Am I seeing this correctly? These heaven and earth phenomena are the types that only appear during dao integration! Is the Four Nine Immortal Sect going to get another Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure now?”

“Don’t celebrate too early. A divine dao tribulation is not that easy to transcend!”

“You’re right. I wonder what that little girl’s divine dao tribulation could be.”

A series of powerful figures appeared around the drill ground, but none of them drew too close. They were maintaining a safe distance so that they would still have the chance to run away should the divine dao tribulation fall upon them.

Divine dao tribulations came in all shapes and sizes, but there was one thing that they all shared, which was that all of them were extremely dangerous. When these tribulations descended upon the world, they didn’t care if you were the designated tribulation transcender or not.

Bursts of exuberant light appeared in the heavens above before flowing relentlessly into Little Hong Ling’s body like streams of wind. Little Hong Ling’s aura began to climb steadily as a result.

Everyone was waiting for Little Hong Ling’s tribulation transcendence.

Little Hong Ling’s aura became more and more vast and powerful…

Time was still passing by.

Little Hong Ling’s aura became progressively more badass, and the oppressive might exuding from her body had already exceeded that of the average Immortal King. However, what was perplexing to everyone was that Little Hong Ling still wasn’t showing any signs that she was transcending a tribulation!

Wang Chen’s expression had already become quite sour. The aura Little Hong Ling was exuding was even more powerful than his, and it was still climbing steadily.

Soon, even Yan Ji was astonished as Little Hong Ling’s aura had even outstripped her own!

Not long after that, He Shen’s lips began to twitch. He discovered that Little Hong Ling’s aura was now more powerful than his. One had to realize that he had progressed to the Dao Integration Stage almost a century before her…

However, Little Hong Ling was still getting stronger.

There seemed to be no end to the reciprocation heaven and earth was bestowing upon Little Hong Ling.

An Lin felt like his horizons had been significantly broadened, and he was rooted to the spot. “So this is what it means to be blessed by the Heavenly Dao? I was a bit skeptical about what you said initially, but I have no choice but to believe you now…”

Little Xie harrumphed delicately as she crossed her arms across her chest. “I’ve never lied to anyone.”

“I’m quite looking forward to seeing Little Hong Ling’s divine dao tribulation now. Her divine dao is connected to the power of the heavens, so what could her divine dao tribulation be?” An Lin was quite curious.

“Divine dao tribulation?” Little Xie chuckled, “Don’t hold your breath; there is no tribulation for her to transcend.”

An Lin’s eyes widened. “What? Are you kidding me? What do you mean there is no tribulation for her to transcend? You’re telling me she doesn’t need to transcend a divine dao tribulation before she reaches the Dao Integration Stage?!”

“Hehe, Little Hong Ling is a being blessed by the Heavenly Dao; how could the Heavenly Dao bear to put her through a tribulation transcendence?” Little Xie turned with a smile to the little girl who was basking in the reciprocation of the Heavenly Dao. “Little Hong Ling’s dao integration consists solely of her getting stronger without any obstructions!”

An Lin didn’t even know what to say anymore.

This little girl was undoubtedly using hacks, and the hacks she used were hacks that made even him extremely jealous! She wasn’t just blessed by the Heavenly Dao; she must have been the Heavenly Dao’s f*cking daughter!

One hour later.

The heaven and earth phenomena disappeared.

Little Hong Ling’s cultivation base stabilized at the Dao Integration Initial Stage, but the aura emanating from her body had already outstripped that of the three Immortal Kings Wang Chen, Yan Ji, and He Shen.

All of the mighty figures and super mighty figures stared blankly at the scenes before their eyes.

“That… that’s it?” Yan Ji murmured in disbelief.

“Did she skip a step…” He Shen felt like this situation was completely absurd. He was always quite calm and collected, but even he had been shocked beyond words.

The Battling Buddha was a powerful being who had endured countless tribulations and was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. However, he could only scratch the monkey fur on his head in confusion as what had just taken place was completely beyond him.

All of the mighty figures present knew the steps to dao integration. However, Little Hong Ling had completely thrown this procedure out the window by skipping her tribulation transcendence altogether!
