Chapter 445: Group Heaven Tribulations (1/2)
Many world guardians stared at Miaomiao in disbelief. They searched for the compound element crystal or the fragment, but they found nothing.
The only clue was Miaomiao's dantian, which emitted the faint power of an unknown element.
One of the guardians closed his eye and sighed. He told his colleagues, ”This brat is probably trying to cultivate a compound element. Let him finish and give him the Heaven Tribulation he deserves.”
”Are you sure?” Many other guardians doubted it.
”There is no physical evidence about the forming of the compound element crystal. We can't give him a tribulation according to the law.”
”Then, let's wait until he completes it. Even if he doesn't create the compound element crystal, we still have to give him a few tribulations since he already skipped so many.”
…
The dark cloud caused a commotion in the city. Many beastmen and cultivators believed that someone might face a Heaven Tribulation soon as many heaven eyes had been gazing upon the city.
Parents of new disciples panicked and rushed to the authority. They complained to the local guards to do something about the sinister clouds and the eyes in the sky as they had no idea about world guardians.
As for the non-commoners, they stared at the sky in solemn, waiting to see the Heaven Tribulation.
While weak cultivators speculated about the upcoming tribulation, nascent soul cultivators like Jia Shan, Ma Ping, and others could tell from their senses of whom might be tested.
”Damn, Miaomiao. What did you do this time?” Jia Shan sighed and rolled his eyes. He ignored the event and flew to the dryad forest, planning to cultivate under the world tree.
The other elders also ignored the commotion as they were used to it. This troublemaker always did something stupid, but he was reliable. Therefore, they expected Miaomiao to clean up his own mess.
…
It took Miaomiao and Xu Chu 20 years in the Isolation Training Space to finish creating the new compound element. However, only 10 days had passed in the real world.
Miaomiao and Xu Chu's Qi were depleted. They collapsed on the ground, panting in exhaustion.
”Miaomiao, I've changed my mind. You will have to dual-cultivate with me for at least 100 years, or I won't ever help you again!”
”Understandable. This thing was freaking insane!”
They lied on the ground, gazing at the floating orb in the sky. Next to them, Diaochan and the maid robot had a picnic party, sipping tea in leisure while watching the hand-sized black-and-white crystal.
The orb contained both Yin and Yang Essence, but they had the properties of basic element Qi as well. Inside, Yin Fish and Yang Fish swam clockwise, chasing each other and forming a Yin Yang image.
Every minute, it pulsed and released random basic element Qi to the air.
Miaomiao tried to count how many elements that it could produce. Surprisingly, it could create all basic elements, light elements, and shadow elements.
Nothing was special with this crystal aside from the Qi Production Ability.
”What a waste of time,” Xu Chu was disappointed. ”I thought you would have created something amazing. It turns out that you just created a freaking energy generator.”
”I'm not planning to integrate the crystal to my dantian. It's for a pylon tower's socket.”
”Ah, come to think of it, you said that you have a pylon tower in the real world. So, you embed this thing into the tower, huh?”
”Yeah. Life Essence is not enough. I want the tower to produce element Qi as well.”
”You might kill commoners and weak cultivators though. Don't forget that they can't cultivate elemental Qi before they reach the 5th-stage. It's a mortal world we're talking about, not a godly planet with a super population like a world from an immortal realm.”
”I know. I'll adjust the production rate.”
Miaomiao spent another day inside the space to rest and hand the Grimoire to Diaochan. He collected the orb into his system inventory and woke up.
Upon coming back to the mortal world, he was greeted by a dozen Heavenly Eyes of world guardians. They stared at him, waiting for his explanation.
”Umm, hello?” Miaomiao nervously smiled.
All guardians narrowed their eyes. One of them inspected Miaomiao's dantian, ”Where is the compound element crystal?”
”Excuse me?”
”You were cultivating a compound element crystal inside your dantian, but we can't sense it anymore. Did you fail?”
Miaomiao was confused for a moment. Then, he clapped his hands as a light bulb appeared in his mind.
”Yes, I tried to condense another compound element, but I failed.”
”You haven't suffered a backlash though. Are you sure?”
”Yes, I'm sure.”
”…”
The Heavenly Eyes glanced at each other. More than half of them snorted and disappeared along with their dark clouds.
A few giant eyes remained behind as they had an unfinished business with Miaomiao and his allies.
”Mao Miaomiao, since you've been receiving supports from the higher existence, we prolonged your Hell Tribulations and Heaven Tribulations for a long time. It's time to pay for your due.”
Miaomiao raised his eyebrows, ”I already forgot that Heaven Tribulations are still a thing. Do I have to take it?”
”The rules are the rules. You and your wives will have to take it. Call them out and get to a rural place away from the town if you don't want to trouble the commoners.”
The guardians gave Miaomiao time to prepare despite their superior status. They were aware that Miaomiao was a DaoTuber, and many immortals were watching his live stream. As a result, they gave him face and preferential treatment, so they wouldn't offend Miaomiao's backers and fans.
Since these seniors gave Miaomiao face, the latter accepted their offer, ”Okay. I'll gather my wives to take the tribulations properly. Who do you want me to bring along?”
”All women that dual-cultivated with you at least once.”
Miaomiao turned into a stone as the request was impossible. If he had to bring all his wives with him, he would have to take Wu Guotai along!
His sinful relationship with Wu Guotai would have been exposed, and he would surely offend Sun Wentai!
”Can I only take those who are available? Can we postpone a few girls since they are too busy at the moment?”
The eye rolled upward, ”Suit yourself. I'll give you an hour to prepare. Gather wherever you are comfortable, and we will start as soon as you're ready.”
”Roger that!”
…
Aside from Dian Wei and Sun Wentai, Miaomiao gathered his wives and led them south. Wei Yuan, Ju Shoufen, and the girls gathered at the border between Siren City and Zither Tongue City.
This place was a barren mountain range with nothing but stones and rocks. Although a few rogue cultivators dug a few caves to use as their abodes, the population in this area was neglectable.
Still, for the sake of keeping his appearance and reputation, Miaomiao bellowed and warned the local population beforehand.
