After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The lightning seemed to strike straight from his toes to his head, causing Shi Yan to lose his composure for the first time in his life.

Moreover... that time, the divine punishment was actually a lightning strike that Shi Yan himself had attracted, and it struck him so badly without distinguishing between friend and foe.

The shadow that [Heavenly Punishment] left in Shi Yan's heart was what made him so hesitant to use [Heavenly Punishment] when facing Lu Renyi.

"Master Yan!!!" came the slightly flustered voice.

Wen Lingqiu flew directly from the main stands to the arena.

Wen Ruya withdrew her hand, which was about to surrender, and slowly stepped forward, approaching Wen Lingqiu. "Master's wife?"

That's right, Wen Lingqiu is Wen Ruya's teacher's wife.

Hearing Wen Ruya's address, Shi Yan felt that something was off.

However, she still forced herself to look at Wen Lingqiu and asked, "Grandmother?"

From the main stands, Wen Wan also flew down with her little girl, Ba.

As soon as the little girl saw Shi Yan, she bit her lip and stretched out her hands, as always... she immediately hugged Shi Yan's leg and pressed her little head near Shi Yan's lower abdomen.

Shi Yan could only reach out and gently stroke the little girl Ba's head.

"Lord Ancestor——"

It was unusual for Wen Wan to greet Shi Yan with a smile and affection; she simply looked at the ground.

"Formation-Breaking Stone..."

Hearing the gentle tone, Shi Yan's breath seemed to catch in her throat, and she suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

"Lord Ancestor?"

Wen Wan simply held Shi Yan's hand.

She immediately turned to Wen Lingqiu and said, "Lingqiu, evacuate everyone on Tianwen Peak immediately!"

"immediately!!!"

“Yes—” Wen Lingqiu replied without hesitation.

She immediately took action.

With the sect leader of the Love Sea Demon Sect, Wen Gujun, absent, Wen Lingqiu is the one in charge of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

As for... where Wen Gujun is now.

At the edge of the mountain-guarding formation of the Love Sea Demon Sect, he stood in a small square like an angry Vajra.

In front of him—

Behind a thin layer of light, the clicking and clattering sounds of mechanical beasts rang out continuously.

One after another, ferocious mechanical beasts with grotesque faces rolled through the forest, revealing their jagged bodies.

Although his cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although it looks much stiffer than the mechanical beasts you play with on the Cloud Dream Machine.

However, its size, its numbers, and its hellhound-like appearance were all oppressing the hearts of the Love Sea Demon Sect disciples nearby.

In the air—

There were figures standing there.

The Demonic Sect of Hatred, the Valley of the Netherworld, the Cangyun Sect...

Wen Gujun wrote down their names one by one.

The ones with the highest cultivation levels were just those few leaders, whose cultivation was only at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

If they knew that Wen Wan had already left the mountain and that her cultivation had reached the Enlightenment Realm, they would surely be terrified and flee in panic.

But at this moment—

They all had fierce expressions on their faces.

Separated by what appeared to be a thin barrier, the two sides faced each other in a standoff.

Among them, the sect leader of the Hate Drinking Demon Sect, Hate Drinking Demon Lord Wen Chou, just coldly looked at Wen Gu Jun.

Then--

She then turned her attention to the Love Sea Demon Sect.

The terrifying scene was so intense that dark clouds nearly covered half of the Love Sea Demon Sect, with lightning swirling around it.

It's obvious that some extremely vicious person or monstrous beast is about to be born.

This time... she is determined to avenge herself.

To avenge the loss of their surname.

“Wen Gu Jun—” the woman’s lips curled up, “The day of the destruction of the Love Sea Demon Sect has come.”

Meanwhile, inside the Love Sea Demon Sect—

Everyone on Tianwen Peak is being evacuated.

Not only Tianwen Peak, but also the area around Tianwen Peak, near the "Dutian Zhumo Nigong Dazhen" (Great Array of the Rebellious Palace of the Heavenly Demons), nearly a quarter of the people within the territory of the Qinghai Demon Sect were being urgently evacuated.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble as Shi Yan held Wen Wan's hand tightly.

"Ancestor...what exactly happened?"

Shi Yan has already realized this.

I think I probably did something wrong.

They made a huge mistake.

It might even be a more serious mistake than his cheap father's secret tribulation at the main peak of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

Shi Yan's heart was trembling.

"That 'Formation-Breaking Stone'..." Wen Wan said briefly, "is a fragment of the 'Formation-Breaking Pestle' used by the immortals when they descended to the mortal realm to break the 'Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Formation' of the Lord of Loulan."

That thing... is absolutely unique in the world.

"It's said that only the mysterious proprietress of the tavern has two left."

Hearing Wen Wan's words, Shi Yan felt a headache coming on.

Lord of Loulan...

Immortal...

These things seem very far away from me, yet they also seem very close to me.

such as--

The tavern owner.

Is it a coincidence?

The teacher said that this was not necessarily true.

Wen Wan gripped Shi Yan's hand tightly, leading her towards the direction where they could see the "Great Array of the Rebellious Palace of All Demons in the Capital." "The Array-Breaking Stone can break all arrays in the world, and the 'Great Array of the Rebellious Palace of All Demons in the Capital' is naturally no exception."

"And that great formation... wasn't actually created to seal away that bastard of a father of yours."

"That formation actually exists to protect your father."

"Including your mother..."

"Back then, fearing your father would be lonely, I willingly stepped into the 'Great Array of the Rebellious Palace of All Demons' while we weren't looking."

Wenwan quickly and gently explained everything to Shiyan.

The teacher finally understood.

Through a series of unforeseen circumstances, he had unwittingly committed a grave mistake.

More than a decade ago, his father failed to withstand the lightning strike that was necessary for breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Tribulation Realm.

The tribulations experienced by saints with "naturally born holy bodies" were immense.

not to mention--

Still on the main peak of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

Shi Minmo may have acted on impulse, but... when he summoned the tribulation lightning, apart from the disciples with lower cultivation levels and a few elders, there was no one else on the main peak of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

There is an even more terrifying person.

Wen Wan is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Enlightenment Realm.

Thanks to Tuo Shiminmo.

Wen Wan did not undergo the tribulation of lightning and smoothly broke through to the Enlightenment Realm.

Although--

Because it did not undergo the tribulation of lightning, this enlightenment realm might have to be labeled as "pseudo".

but--

This doesn't mean she can relax.

Because her tribulation of breaking through barriers and life and death merged with Shi Minmo's tribulation of becoming a saint.

If the lightning strikes, Shi Minmo will be shattered to pieces, his soul and spirit destroyed.

He even had to take half of the Love Sea Demon Sect with him to their graves.

How could Wenwan bear to watch her most beloved little girl lose her lover like this?

Coincidentally, the blind girl from the outer sect of Ghost Valley, Master Tianji, is visiting the Love Sea Demon Sect.

By joining forces with Yunmengji, Wenwan used one-fifth of the spiritual veins of the Qinghai Demon Sect as a foundation to set up the "Dutian Zhumo Reversal Palace Array," thus defying fate and deceiving the heavens to hide Shi Minmo.

But this was ultimately just a delaying tactic.

Unable to withstand the tribulation of lightning, Shi Minmo never dared to step out of the formation for the rest of his life.

Moreover, as Shi Minmo's cultivation level increases, the lightning tribulation, which combines the tribulations of a saint and the tribulations of life and death, will also intensify.

If he steps into the formation, he will surely die.
