I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

Lightning bolts struck from the sky.

Fang Xuan stood in the void, the black sword Yun Chang held horizontally in front of him, and the three-colored laws flowed around him as he welcomed the final tribulation lightning.

Take it easy.

Then came the time to climb the ladder.

Fang Xuan ascended towards the sky step by step, his steps incredibly steady.

But nothing happened during that time.

The thunderclouds were still rolling, and the lightning was still flashing, but the power of the laws that should have fallen to temper his body seemed to be blocked by something and did not fall for a long time.

Fang Xuan frowned.

What's going on?

He tried to actively draw the laws into his body.

But the power of the laws remained unmoved.

It's not resistance, it's complete disregard.

It was as if his body didn't exist at all, and those laws were unwilling to touch him.

"???"

Fang Xuan was stunned.

What's this? Did you fail to transcend the tribulation?

No, it wasn't a failure, it was... being rejected.

This was the first time he had ever heard of someone being rejected during their tribulation.

He unleashed his spiritual power, and his aura surged dramatically.

When fully unleashed, the spiritual energy was as vast as the ocean, causing all the thunderclouds within a hundred miles to hang motionless in the air.

Fang Xuan raised his head and looked at the eerie stillness above him.

You won't concede, huh...?

He gripped the sword tightly, and a blood-red aura burst forth from its blade as he slashed straight towards the sky.

"boom--!"

The crimson sword energy soared into the sky, forcefully cleaving a huge rift in the thick tribulation clouds.

Golden light poured down from the crack, illuminating the entire desolate valley.

Fang Xuan stood holding his sword, his black robes fluttering, his long hair flowing freely.

He wanted to see if he could actually get up there today.

Then, the tribulation clouds seemed to be enraged.

It was no longer the ordinary lightning tribulation, but several extremely terrifying black lightning bolts.

Each one was as thick as a mountain, carrying an aura capable of destroying everything, and crashed down on him!

This is not within the scope of a normal tribulation.

Fang Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly unwrapped the bandage on his right hand.

The slender, fair hand opened, and the laws of space were activated at full power, tearing a huge rift in front of it.

The lightning bolt crashed into the crevice and was temporarily blocked.

But before he could even catch his breath—

Several unfamiliar forces of law surged out from the void without warning and directly entered his body.

Moreover, this is not a place to temper him.

They were clearly there to take his life.

Fang Xuan groaned, his spiritual energy instantly thrown into chaos.

Those laws of power rampaged through his meridians, frantically devouring his spiritual energy.

He gritted his teeth and tried to use the laws of destruction within his body to counterbalance the situation.

But as soon as they made contact, the Law of Destruction was pushed back, proving to be no match for them.

It's over.

Fang Xuanxin sank.

Then, the pink light that he hadn't paid much attention to suddenly lit up.

The Law of Lust.

It seemed to lazily open its eyes and then confront the invading forces of law.

One share is worth several.

It forcefully blocked all the laws that had entered the body within the meridians, rendering them unable to move.

Fang Xuan: "......."

He said, "Who isn't lustful?"

This law is certainly not weak.

Those invading laws, unable to advance further, seemed to be enraged and launched a desperate counterattack.

His realm began to be continuously blocked.

All the power within his body was completely drained.

Fang Xuan felt as if his body had been drained of its energy; his spiritual power, blood and qi, and even physical strength were all draining away at an alarming rate.

He became weak instantly.

His vision went black for a moment, and his body fell uncontrollably from the sky.

The wind blew past my ears, and I even experienced tinnitus...

In his hazy state, he felt someone catch him.

A warm embrace, a familiar scent.

Senior sister...

His head lolled to the side, and he almost fainted again.

.......

Ning Qian held him and slowly lowered him to the ground.

Her expression also turned serious.

When her junior brother was undergoing his tribulation, she secretly watched from a spatial rift.

From the abnormality of the lightning tribulation, to his cutting through the tribulation clouds, and then to the entry of the laws into his body.

She could see it all clearly.

Those invading laws should not be part of a normal tribulation process.

That's... the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm rejecting him?

No, that's not right.

It wasn't rejection, it was more like... fear.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart, and used her spiritual energy to probe Fang Xuan's meridians.

Then her heart sank to the bottom.

The meridians are still there, but the spiritual energy has been so depleted that it is almost imperceptible; all the power within the body has been drained.

In other words, the current junior brother is no different from those mortals.

It could even be said that they are weaker than ordinary people.

She raised her head and looked at the dissipating calamity clouds not far away.

Now is not the time for sentimentality; she needs to think of a solution quickly.

Those invading laws are still within my junior brother's body. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There are only two options now.

You either need to refine them or expel them from your body.

But regardless of the method, a safe environment is required.

She raised her hand, preparing to tear open a spatial rift and return directly to her courtyard in Xunyuan Town.

She stopped just as the power of the laws was gathering.

No.

My junior brother's physique is too weak right now; he might not even be able to withstand the pressure of the spatial turbulence.

What if something unexpected happens during this time...?

She could only grit her teeth and retract the spatial laws.

"Let's go back to the courtyard first," she said softly, as if speaking to Fang Xuan, or perhaps to herself.

Then he bent down and carefully picked Fang Xuan up in his arms.

Fang Xuan was much taller than her, so it felt a bit strange to be hugging him like that.

But she held on very firmly and carefully.

They walked quickly towards the outside of the desolate valley, step by step.

The person in her arms was very light, so light that it made her feel a little flustered.

She looked down at Fang Xuan's pale face again, and suddenly—

Swallowed.

My junior brother is now... well, you could say... too weak to take care of himself...

So... does that mean he'll never be able to leave her?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she shook her head violently.

Now is not the time to think about these things; she is a proper senior sister.

She had never encountered this situation before.

Through countless lifetimes and reincarnations, I have witnessed countless ways of dying and countless kinds of injuries.

But I've never seen anything like this before.

Failed to transcend the tribulation, cultivation locked, backlash from the laws...

It must be a problem with my junior brother's constitution; we'll have to go back to the courtyard and investigate it thoroughly...
