Ch 518: This Thunder Tribulation Can’t Fall

“Wait a little longer.” Zhuge Liuguang looked at the tightly closed Ancestral Hall doors, his heart unusually heavy.

Ten days, that’s the limit.

The possibility of starvation is low. Jiang Nanyu, now at the Transcendent Realm cultivation level, can even survive a month through fasting. His biggest worry is that Jiang Nanyu might go into demonic obsession because of this.

Most of the villagers also gathered nearby, whispering to each other, until an old man with white hair was slowly helped forward by two younger generations—

“Grand Uncle is here!”

“Everyone, make way!”

After hearing the call, Zhuge Liuguang immediately went to greet him.

“Why did you come?”

This old man with white hair was the oldest in Zhuge Village, over a hundred years old, someone even Zhuge Liuguang had to respect.

“I heard that the child has been in the Ancestral Hall for ten days and there’s been no message, so I came to take a look.” Grand Uncle walked over, looking at the closed doors of the Ancestral Hall. One of his eyes showed signs of cataracts, while the other was slightly narrowed, scanning the direction of the Ancestral Hall.

“You haven’t met Xiao Shu, this child. This child’s talent is truly terrifying, they’ll be fine.” Zhuge Liuguang reassured him.

The murmuring around grew louder. The time for the Ancestral Rites was approaching. If the Ancestral Hall didn’t open soon, wouldn’t they miss this important day?

Zhuge Liuguang calmed the clan members, already having made a decision in his heart.

Just then—

Boom!

A beam of golden light suddenly shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds, instantly attracting everyone’s attention. The golden light transformed into countless rays of light that poured down.

The General suddenly darted out from an inconspicuous pile of grass, still holding half a chicken stolen from someone’s kitchen, staring intently at the Ancestral Hall not far away.

Chang Yinzi caught sight of the General from the corner of his eye, twitching his mouth. This useless look…who did he get it from?

The golden light lasted for a full hour. If it weren’t for the protective formation, such a spectacular sight would have already made headlines online.

Just as everyone thought things would return to calm after the golden light disappeared, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky again. Countless clouds gathered above the Ancestral Hall. Beneath the thick cloud layer lurked a terrifying power. The occasional lightning strikes plunged everyone into panic.

“Oh no, is that a Heavenly Tribulation?”

“Is she going to advance within the Ancestral Hall?”

“The power of this Lightning Tribulation is terrifying! The Ancestral Hall will be destroyed!”

The crowd cried out in terror. Even Zhuge Liuguang’s face suddenly darkened!

“The Ancestral Hall cannot be destroyed!” Grand Uncle said sternly, “Prepare to activate the Protective Formation!”

“Wait—”

Chang Yinzi shouted immediately.

He looked at the thunderclouds gathering above the Ancestral Hall and said firmly, “This Lightning Tribulation won’t come down.”

“No way, that lightning looks terrifying, how can it not come down?” A questioning voice immediately arose from the crowd.

Zhuge Liuyun looked at the lightning flashing in the thunderclouds, then at the Ancestral Hall not far away. After a moment of silence, she raised her hand to stop the Elders who were preparing to activate the Protective Formation: “Wait a little longer.”

“Clan Leader, this is too dangerous!”

“Clan Leader, the Ancestral Hall can’t be destroyed!”

“Clan Leader…”

The sound of “rumbling” continued. The General, holding the half chicken, nervously watched the Ancestral Hall beneath the thunderclouds, muttering to himself, “Don’t fall, don’t fall…”

Don’t delay his chicken-eating!

As time passed second by second, the urging voices grew louder.

Chang Yin looked towards the Ancestral Hall, his gaze profound, his grip on the Feather Duster unconsciously tightening.

Just as the Lightning Tribulation was about to fall, a scarlet light shot up, piercing through the thick thunderclouds—

Everyone stared nervously at the sky.

The commotion in the thunderclouds gradually subsided. The gloomy sky slowly began to brighten, and soon it returned to its usual tranquility, as if the terrifying Lightning Tribulation had never happened.

The crowd looked at each other, momentarily unsure how to describe their feelings.

“Creak—creak——”

The doors of the Ancestral Hall opened from the inside.

Jiang Nanyu was startled by the densely packed crowd before her.

What is going on?!

Are the villagers of Zhuge Village this enthusiastic? She merely finished her seclusion; does it warrant such a grand reception?

Jiang Nanyu calmly exchanged a questioning look with Chang Yin, who merely glanced at her faintly, without any reaction.

For a moment, Jiang Nanyu didn’t dare to take a step out of the Ancestral Hall.

“Um, has everyone eaten?”

As soon as she spoke.

A strange look appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Zhuge Liuguang calmly sized Jiang Nanyu up, a look of astonishment appearing in his heart. Now, Jiang Nanyu’s aura was enveloped in a hazy transparent substance that blocked his observation. This eerie power made him feel a sense of apprehension.

“Alright, everyone go home and eat.” Grand Uncle spoke.

The watching villagers looked at each other, then left in twos and threes. Soon, only a few people remained in front of the Ancestral Hall.

Grand Uncle turned his gaze to the girl who resembled Zhuge Liuyun for the first time.

“You do not possess the Zhuge Clan’s bloodline aura…”

As soon as these words came out, except for Chang Yin and Jiang Nanyu, Master and Disciple, everyone else showed a look of astonishment!
