My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

"boom!!!"

Just as Gu Changyuan was pondering, Su Wanqing, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the formation, suddenly erupted with strong spiritual energy fluctuations.

The fluctuations were initially somewhat sluggish, but quickly became smooth and surging, like a long-suppressed torrent finally finding its outlet.

At her dantian, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the golden core that had been dormant for many years, and brilliant golden light shone through the cracks.

Almost the instant the spiritual energy erupted, the sky above Hanhai City changed color, and thick dark clouds quickly gathered, forming a pitch-black tribulation cloud that enveloped Tingtao Pavilion.

As the tribulation clouds rolled, purple lightning appeared and disappeared, emitting a crackling sound. A dense pressure swept over, which was the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Such a huge commotion instantly alerted the Su family guards in the other rooms of Tingtao Pavilion.

Su Ming, who had been hiding in the shadows, instantly appeared, his old face filled with disbelief and shock.

His divine sense, being at the Integration Realm, was far more acute than others. He could clearly perceive that the aura that triggered the Heavenly Tribulation and was breaking through was none other than the Fourth Miss, Su Wanqing.

"This...how is this possible?!"

A storm raged in Su Ming's heart.

He knew all too well about the Fourth Miss's situation; the inner demon curse had entangled her soul and penetrated deep into her bones, leaving even the experts of the Holy Land helpless.

But now...

How long has it been?

That mysterious and unpredictable Senior Gu not only truly resolved the inner demon curse that even the experts of the Holy Land were powerless to cure, but also enabled the Fourth Miss to break through on the spot, attracting the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

What kind of extraordinary skill is this?!

Su Ming's gaze toward the quiet room was filled with unprecedented awe.

This senior is no ordinary expert.

He was increasingly grateful that he had been able to establish a relationship with Gu Changyuan, which was an absolutely tremendous opportunity for the Su family.

Soon, the first bolt of purple tribulation lightning crashed down, heading straight for Su Wanqing.

She had already woken up from her dream. At this moment, her eyes were firm, and her spiritual power was running at its maximum. She waved her hand and summoned a defensive spiritual treasure bestowed by the Su family, steadily catching the tribulation lightning.

Several more tribulation lightning bolts followed one after another. With the help of her powerful strength after her breakthrough and the support of her spiritual treasures, Su Wanqing dealt with them calmly. She successfully withstood each tribulation lightning bolt, and her spiritual power became more and more refined during the tribulation.

After a short while, the final bolt of lightning struck, completely shattering Su Wanqing's defenses.

The tribulation clouds above slowly dissipated, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged towards her like a tide, flowing into her body.

Her aura gradually stabilized, and her cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm was completely solidified.

Feeling an unprecedented surge of spiritual energy within her body, and the complete dissipation of the gloom deep within her soul, tears welled up in Su Wanqing's eyes.

She turned around abruptly, knelt down in front of Gu Changyuan, placed her hands flat in front of her, and kowtowed three times heavily:

"This junior, Su Wanqing, is deeply grateful for your life-saving grace, senior! I will never forget this immense kindness!"

"Get up."

Gu Changyuan raised his hand and waved, a gentle spiritual energy lifting her up, his tone still mild.

"I have a connection with the Su family, so I helped you resolve your inner demons. But the path of cultivation is long, and ultimately, you must walk the rest of the way yourself."

"Yes! I understand!"

......

The next morning, Su Wanqing, dressed neatly, arrived at Gu Changyuan's door and respectfully said:

"Senior, all the affairs of the Meng family have been settled. We can set off now."

Gu Changyuan's voice came from inside the house:

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure appeared silently beside Su Wanqing.

In the courtyard of Tingtao Pavilion, the guards of the Su family were already lined up in neat rows, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Gu Changyuan.

Gu Changyuan said no more, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, the giant immortal ship instantly appeared in the distance.

With another wave of his right hand, an invisible force enveloped Su Wanqing, the Su family guards, and even Su Ming, who was hiding in the shadows, and instantly brought them onto the immortal ship.

Standing at the porthole, Su Wanqing looked down at the rapidly shrinking Hanhai City below, feeling the concentration of spiritual energy inside the immortal ship, which was several times richer and purer than outside. Her heart was filled with emotion once again.

Gu Changyuan was already used to this. His immortal ship was naturally equipped with countless formations, including highly efficient spirit gathering and spirit tempering formations.

In the chaotic ruins where spiritual energy was scarce, this formation was useless. But once in the Nine Heavens Realm, it could continuously gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, providing great assistance for cultivation.

Under his mental control, the celestial boat silently started up, transforming into a silver streak of light and speeding towards "Wind Ridge City" where the Su family was located.

Its speed far surpassed that of the Su family's prized standard flying boat.

In less than half a day, a magnificent city, several times larger than Hanhai City, appeared on the distant horizon – Fengling City.

This city is backed by the continuous "Wind Howling Mountains", with its city walls soaring into the clouds, shimmering with spiritual light, and displaying a myriad of magnificent scenes.

However, the power structure within the city is much simpler than that of Hanhai City.

The Su family is in a league of its own in this city, with no other family or sect that can stand on equal footing with them.

This is not the result of the Su family abusing their power to bully others and eliminate dissidents.

On the contrary, the Su family has strict rules and is relatively fair in its dealings.

As long as other forces do not provoke or infringe upon the interests of the Su family, the Su family usually will not interfere with their development, and may even provide some protection in certain aspects.

Over time, Fengling City developed a stable structure with the Su family at its absolute core, surrounded by other small and medium-sized forces.

At this moment, inside the Fengyun Hall of the Su family mansion, Su Yunhao, the head of the Su family, was talking with guests.

The guest was Chen Qianzhen, the head of the Chen family in Fengling City. The two families have always been on good terms, and he came to visit specially.

Suddenly, Su Yunhao frowned, put down his teacup, and looked up at the sky outside the hall.

Chen Qianzhen and the other elders seemed to sense something as well, and their expressions changed.

An indescribable, immense pressure was rapidly approaching from the horizon.

The group quickly walked out of the Fengyun Palace. When they looked up and saw the giant immortal ship that blotted out the sky, everyone's faces showed surprise.

They had never seen a celestial vessel of such scale before, and their hearts immediately became wary.

However, this time is different from the past.

The celestial boat slowly came to a stop above the Su family mansion. Su Wanqing quickly walked to the edge of the boat's handrail, leaned her upper body out, and shouted down:

"Father! It's me!"

Su Yunhao was taken aback at first, but when he saw that it was indeed his daughter Su Wanqing, the solemnity on his face instantly turned into astonishment.

The elders of the Su family were also dumbfounded, staring at the terrifying immortal ship and then at the smiling fourth young lady of the Su family on board. For a moment, they were all a little confused.

What... what's going on here?

Didn't the Fourth Miss go to the Meng family to receive tribute?

Why did we come back in such a terrifying fairy boat?
