Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 982: Chapter 121: Holding the Water Evenly (Two-in-One)_2

“Then quickly arrange for the tribulation.” Wan Xiang Immortal turned to look at Luo Yan and instructed, “As Daoist companion, you should also pay attention to Dong You Zhenren’s tribulation.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan felt deeply ashamed. Due to switching between so many titles, he indeed forgot about the path of Shi Liuli — the last time it was Wan Xiang Immortal who provided the clue to the Prison Dragon Well, eventually allowing the two of them to successfully find the opportunity for Shi Liuli to ascend to Obscure Weave Great Perfection. However, due to many matters at Heavenly Craft Workshop, she was occupied with handling them upon returning, and thus the tribulation had been delayed.

Alas, Heavenly Craft Workshop being a major player in crafting artifacts, having numerous matters to handle is unavoidable, isn’t it? It’s understandable!

Wan Xiang Immortal rummaged in his Storage Bag for quite a while, seemingly thinking of pulling out a Magical Treasure to protect Shi Liuli, but soon realized and pointed at Luo Yan, laughing:

“With a Formation Master like you, a mere Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation is no difficulty at all! If Dong You Zhenren encounters any issues during the tribulation, the sect will hold you accountable!”

Luo Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister An are both powerful in combat, with rich experience in magical competitions and a robust Daoist Foundation, naturally fearless of the Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation.

But Shi Liuli, despite her Cultivation Level Realm, lacks the magical competition experience compared to my two wives.

Facing unexpected situations during the tribulation, her adaptability and reaction speed would certainly be weaker, so I must devise some powerful formations to help her evade.

However, Liuli condensed a Second Grade Golden Core at the beginning, right?

This Second Grade Golden Core at most condenses Divine Infant, so the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be too severe.

After sending off Wan Xiang Immortal, Luo Yan began to detail his own experiences of various celestial phenomena and anomalies encountered during his own tribulation to Shi Liuli.

“I see.” Shi Liuli nodded calmly, “Listening to this, it doesn’t seem too difficult.”

“That’s right, just keep your mind at ease, dear wife.” Luo Yan said with a smile.

Shi Liuli remained silent, thinking to herself that of course you would hide those embarrassing moments and beautify your success since you successfully transcended the tribulation.

This Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation, being one of the three major thresholds for cultivators, has a success rate of less than one percent. It’s definitely not a simple affair!

She quietly planned in her mind, reviewing the various methods she possesses several times.

Originally intending to complete all preparations and then face the tribulation comfortably… but now that the entrance to Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm is imminent, and the sect has named me to participate, I cannot delay the Nascent Infant affairs any longer.

Time to focus on the tribulation.

Even though Luo Yan spoke quite confidently, he felt less assured upon returning home.

Regarding Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister An, he naturally had full confidence. But Miss Shi’s practical combat abilities were really lacking. If she couldn’t transcend the tribulation at the time, he wouldn’t be able to assist her!

Wait, calm down… I remember in Qiu Changtian’s line, Shi Liuli should have smoothly participated in the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm.

If that’s the case, then there’s no problem.

Though his words indicated no problem, on the tribulation day, Luo Yan still took out his trump card.

He mimicked the secret formation from Golden Cicada Temple, setting up a simplified protective formation for Shi Liuli.

The formation-stabilizing artifact was secretly embedded with a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, forcibly elevating the rank of the artifact to the level of a post-celestial Spiritual Treasure.

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Suming Sword joked, “Wow, Sword Master, you weren’t showing this much care for Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister An in the past. Does this count as favoritism?”

“Of course there’s no favoritism here.” Luo Yan explained skillfully, “Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister An are very strong, so their tribulations are basically a sure success. Shi Liuli’s strength is too weak, so she requires some little support from me.”

“This is just like parents with multiple children, helping the one in poorer circumstances more, aiming for fairness.”

Suming Sword was impressed and speechless.

“Don’t argue with him.” Kunlun Mirror advised, “He’s just lazy and muddled, if not for Shi Liuli’s inadequate strength, asking him to help more wouldn’t be possible — it has nothing to do with bias.”

“Although that’s true.” Suming Sword remarked, “With the Heaven-Mending Stone in the formation-stabilizing artifact, even sending a pig to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t be a problem?”

“It’s not that simple.” Kunlun Mirror affirmed earnestly, “A pig attempting tribulation would be challenging… primarily because it would walk chaotically, right?”

A moment later, as Shi Liuli began the formal tribulation, both Sword and Mirror were dumbfounded.

“This swordsmanship is too poor, isn’t it?” Suming Sword exclaimed in shock, “Even using a low-rank Flying Sword for mutual destruction, just one sword per tribulation lightning is the basic requirement, she’s wasting too much.”

“Slow reaction.” Kunlun Mirror assessed, “Tribulation lightning is too swift, its direction treacherous, and the opportunity for visual lock-on is fleeting. If unable to precisely hit the lightning, instead grazing it from the edge, the Flying Sword would be melted by the lightning’s heat, incapable of detonating the lightning itself.”

While Sword and Mirror were chatting idly, Luo Yan, as protector on the Heavenly Tribulation periphery, could no longer maintain his expression.

Though protected by the Heaven-Mending Stone fragment, due to restricted resources and time for setting up the formation, he couldn’t create an extremely precise formation. Thus, within a short time, countless tribulation lightning struck the formation, severely depleting its stored energy.

It’s mainly because Shi Liuli’s response was too weak! When shooting tribulation lightning with Flying Sword, she somehow managed to miss five out of ten shots!

He wanted to remind Shi Liuli not to use that clumsy swordsmanship — even if you had plenty of Flying Swords, it wouldn’t help.

But he couldn’t successfully send messages as the location was too far from the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.

In this moment, Luo Yan saw in his scanning vision Shi Liuli suddenly tossing a copper coin, promptly setting up a divination.

Afterwards, she put away the Flying Sword and quickly formed a Daoist Formula, activating the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique.

A massive spray of galaxy water surged out, following the formation, soaring upwards, completely shattering the tribulation lightning.

That’s the way! Luo Yan finally felt relieved.

Using Sword Control Technique to hit tribulation lightning requires extremely precise eyesight and reaction speed.

Shi Liuli doesn’t possess the capability in this regard, thus employing large-scale Daoist Magic like the galaxy secret technique to clear tribulation lightning is more efficient.

But large-scale Daoist Magic comes with significant consumption. Liuli’s Breathing Technique is “Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record,” although part of high-rank Qi Refining Techniques, her True Yuan may not sustain it…

“Look.” Kunlun Mirror suddenly pointed out, “She’s not using pure sky river water.”

Luo Yan focused his eyes following Ah Jing’s advice, realizing Shi Liuli wasn’t merely summoning pure sky river water from the starry sky but utilizing a bit of sky river water to reverse the sea water below, using local resources. The efficiency of both True Yuan consumption and spell operation were more than double the original Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique!

“Impressive, my Liuli!” Luo Yan finally relaxed, “With this, it’s basically a sure thing.”

“Perhaps not necessarily.” Kunlun Mirror remarked seriously, “Above the sea surface, the water element environment greatly boosts water system spells.”

“But if the tribulation lightning switches to a water element, how will she respond then?”

“This…” Luo Yan was momentarily speechless, secretly growing worried for Shi Liuli.

However, after a long time, the types of tribulation lightning in the sky changed again and again but never turned into water element tribulation lightning.

“Such fortune.” Kunlun Mirror couldn’t help but exclaim, then suddenly paused.

“Fortune indeed…” Luo Yan laughed helplessly.

After all these years, Miss Shi has evolved from version 1.0 to 2.0, unexpectedly inheriting her initial strong luck attribute over, truly unbelievable.

With one person and one mirror sighing there, Shi Liuli suddenly changed her expression, showing a hint of pain.

It was the sudden ignition of Yin fire from beneath her feet, slowly burning up her calf at this critical moment of defending against thunder tribulation.
