Chapter 157: Chapter 157: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator (Final)

“Have you heard? There’s big news from the Jiang Family again.”

“What is it, did the Eldest Young Master Jiang’s daughter, son, or grandson come to visit?” the cultivator responded with a laugh.

In truth, they had grown accustomed to this. Who could have guessed that the seemingly serious Eldest Young Master Jiang, Jiang Zilin, was actually a man of many romantic escapades behind the scenes, involving numerous female cultivators and mortal women.

Over the years, many of his descendants visited, truly enriching the Jiang Family’s bloodline. Yet, once news spread outside, it inevitably sparked gossip and laughter.

“This time it’s not about some descendants visiting; it’s a tremendous scandal. It turns out the Second Young Master Jiang, Jiang Zixing, is actually the biological son of Eldest Young Master Jiang, Jiang Zilin!”

Upon hearing this, everyone paused to listen, eyes filled with astonishment; it was indeed big news.

Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng exchanged glances, realizing that such matters couldn’t be kept hidden forever.

“There’s chaos over at the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family Master and Eldest Young Master Jiang had a fight. Quite lively, although neither went for the kill; they simply fought, and then the matter was considered resolved. Alas.”

“Speaking of Eldest Young Master Jiang’s numerous offspring, some possess great talent. For the sake of the family interests, the Jiang Family Master has to reluctantly endure this.”

“But it’s still quite funny! Who knows what news will come out next from the Jiang Family.”

“Looking forward to it.”

“Same here.”

“I heard the ’Immortal Cultivation World Chronicles’ specifically set up a ’Jiang Family Latest News’ section. Anyone wanting first-hand updates can subscribe at the Spirit Breath Sect.”

“Hahaha, even funnier. I must subscribe. It’s only a few spirit stones, and even if the news isn’t major, the frequent small updates from the Jiang Family are quite amusing.”

Ah Chen chuckled; the Jiang Family unexpectedly served such a purpose, bringing a special joy to the Cultivation World.

“Let’s subscribe,” she said, eager to hear the Jiang Family’s amusing tidbits as soon as possible.

Ying Zhefeng, naturally, had no objections. The two headed to the Spirit Breath Sect’s location to subscribe to the Jiang Family updates.

Unexpectedly, upon leaving, they encountered a familiar face – Kong Xue.

Ah Chen wasn’t particularly embarrassed.

On the contrary, Kong Xue felt a bit awkward. The current Yun Chen was not ordinary, and while she wanted to say something, Ah Chen grabbed Ying Zhefeng and departed.

Ah Chen naturally had no interest in dealing with these people.

Kong Xue paused, not daring to pursue them.

Indeed, she didn’t dare.

She was out for leisure; the Jiang Family was in disarray. Having too many siblings and descendants was no good, leading to constant scheming and intrigue.

When her father only had her, he lavished all resources on her. After all, her talent wasn’t bad.

Yet, as siblings and descendants appeared, many more talented than her, she naturally received less support than those days at Lingxiao Sect.

But with her master gone, her second senior brother’s whereabouts unknown, and her eldest senior brother in a daze, she had nowhere else to go but compete for resources within the Jiang Family.

While Secret Realms still existed in the Cultivation World, they didn’t appear as frequently as initially but still emerged, though never near her.

It was rumored some wanted to imprison the Secret Realms, yet today’s realms differed from the original ones, offering more resistance.

From current appearances, some in the Cultivation World speculated that one day, Secret Realms would vanish.

Sixty years passed in a flash.

The Cultivation World grew increasingly prosperous, yet disputes remained numerous.

This day, news spread that Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng were set to undergo tribulations, causing great astonishment.

They were the first to face tribulation freely since the Secret Realms’ emergence.

Indeed, the Cultivation World hadn’t seen Ascenders facing tribulations for countless years.

At this moment, cultivators suddenly realized.

Since the Cultivation World fell under the Demon Cultivators’ cruelty, no ascenders had appeared.

Now, Elder Yun and Ying Jianjun prepare for tribulations; could others follow?

Ah Chen faced her tribulation first, as the demon cultivators’ thunder tribulation was fierce. Ying Zhefeng wouldn’t rest assured unless she went first.

On her tribulation day, many gathered to witness.

Seeing the intensified, multiple-strength thunder tribulation, cultivators and demon cultivators alike felt a shiver down their spines. Yet, she handled it with unexpected ease.

Truthfully, Ah Chen was well-prepared. As the thunder tribulation descended, she discovered it wasn’t nearly as tough as expected, neither increased by multiples, nor stronger than typical thunder tribulations.

Was the thunder tribulation going easy on her?

In a sudden revelation, she understood the meaning, instantly enlightened.

It was gratitude for her transformative contribution to the Cultivation World. How could the Heavenly Dao not recognize her as an outsider?

Seeing Ah Chen emerge, as the thunder tribulation dissipated, Ying Zhefeng’s heart dropped; he rushed forward to embrace her.

Next was Ying Zhefeng’s turn to face the tribulation.

His seemed far weaker than Ah Chen’s earlier one, yet the pressure still made cultivators shudder.

As the thunder tribulation hit Ying Zhefeng, even he was momentarily shocked – this was it? Like Ah Chen, he quickly understood.

He glanced at Ah Chen smiling from outside, returning her smile.

Apparently, she truly hadn’t suffered during her tribulation; it wasn’t staged for him.

Ah Chen sensed his thoughts, amused at his reaction.

Witnessing cultivators picked up on their eye interaction, slightly speechless – during a tribulation no less? What were they doing?

Once Ying Zhefeng completed his tribulation, neither resisted the Upper Realm’s pull, rising into the air. Holding hands, they gazed at those below.

“I’ll tour the Immortal Realm, then leave,” Ah Chen intertwined fingers with him, “Do you want to come with me?”

Ying Zhefeng replied, “Yes.”

“Having just become an immortal, can you bear to leave?” she joked.

Ying Zhefeng embraced her, “I shouldn’t belong here.”

“Indeed, you don’t belong here; you belong with me. Will you give me your soul, alright?” Ah Chen asked.

Ying Zhefeng answered, “Alright.”

Whatever she wanted, he would give.

If she wished to depart, they’d go together.

The “why” didn’t matter.

The Cultivation World lost two unoffendable figures but continued their legends.

More legends emerged in the Cultivation World, with disputes everlasting.

Many wondered where Ling Kewei went, but he appeared briefly when Elder Yun and Ying Jianjun ascended, only to vanish again.

Until one day, signs of tribulation erupted somewhere; crowds flocked there to discover the third person undergoing tribulation was Ling Kewei himself.

Successfully ascending, Ling Kewei reached the Immortal Realm tinged with immortal energy, where disputes persisted but didn’t encounter Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng, somewhat puzzled.

Given his knowledge of the duo, they couldn’t have perished in the Immortal Realm, possibly secluded somewhere. With their ability, they’d soon make a name for themselves.

Yet every time he emerged from seclusion, Ling Kewei didn’t hear news of them.

Finally, upon becoming a top-tier Immortal Realm strongman, obtaining a treasure revealed their sudden disappearance from the realm.

Suddenly, Ling Kewei had an epiphany, realizing Yun Chen wasn’t his soft, somewhat silly fourth junior sister from before.

He later learned a secret technique that allowed time reversal, delighting him.

Reversing time, Ling Kewei returned to familiar places.

This day marked his return to the sect from a training mission.

Finding a familiar red fruit in his Storage Ring, meant for his fourth junior sister, he smiled, quickly heading to Lingxiao Sect with eagerness.

But upon seeing her, all his joy dissipated.

Before him stood the same somewhat silly fourth junior sister, yet not the one he knew.

Like a world within a leaf, he didn’t return to the past of his old world.

He still presented the crimson fruit to her, witnessing her cheerful reaction, his smile tinged with bittersweet feelings.

Subsequently, he protected her from harm, killed Lin Mingxi.

After all, he possessed the most formidable immortal soul, fearing none in the Lower Realm, capable of slaying cultivator elites with mere soul attacks.

“Second Senior Brother, why are you always unhappy?”

Upon hearing his fourth junior sister’s query, Ling Kewei chuckled, “What makes you think I’m unhappy?”

“I don’t know; you always seem unhappy.”

She understood her second senior brother held no romantic interest, thus never longing for such things, content simply by seeing him.

Truly, her second senior brother was a wonderful person.

Accompanying his fourth junior sister’s ascension, Ling Kewei employed the secret technique to return to the past again.

Same day, bringing the red fruit to her presence, he indeed faced a different fourth junior sister.

Nonetheless, he still protected her, aiding her tribulation ascension.

Then, he revisited the past once more through his secret technique.
