Chapter 13: A Celestial Scroll, Ascending to the Nine Heavens!
After hearing these words, Zhang Beixuan fell silent. It was no wonder his esteemed master readily agreed. It turned out that this matter was completely beneficial to him. It would directly pave the way before True God! For a cultivator, this was an extraordinary opportunity!
But for his newlywed wife, would she die just by entering the room? Wasn’t this just a joke?
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the system mission: ‘Aiding the Fox Immortal in Tribulation.'”
“Mission complete: Rewards [Fifty Years of Cultivation] [Five Thunder True Technique at Max Level].”
“Mission failure: No penalties!”
Just at this moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang out, and Zhang Beixuan’s eyes lit up.
That’s right! There’s a system here!
“System! Is there any way to help her through this tribulation?” Zhang Beixuan asked directly.
Upon hearing Zhang Beixuan’s voice, the system immediately responded, “Fifty roads to the Dao, forty-nine of them lead to the Heavens. Choose one to evade.”
“Don’t beat around the bush! Just say it straight!” Zhang Beixuan demanded.
“Alright, the Celestial Fox wishes to pass her tribulation successfully. She needs a person with great karma and merit to appeal to the Heavenly Dao on her behalf during the tribulation, offering her a lifeline,” the system explained.
Zhang Beixuan was shocked, “Huh?”
“Is it really that simple?” He asked, finding it hard to believe.
“Yes, it’s that simple,” the system confirmed.
Upon hearing the system’s response, Zhang Beixuan couldn’t help but laugh. This seemed like destiny laid out for him! This talk of great karma and merit. Wasn’t it referring to him?
He was the Heavenly Teacher of the Daoist tradition, representing the Daoist’s destiny! He was undoubtedly the person with great karma and merit mentioned. His status as both heaven and earth recognised the Heavenly Teacher. In other words, as long as he presented a celestial scroll to the Heavenly Realm, he could resolve this life-threatening danger. So that’s why Zhang Beixuan thought it sounded too simple.
It was a commitment: the Celestial Fox was too powerful, and even heaven and earth had doubts about her. Hence, they required a person of great merit to vouch for her. However, finding someone capable of bearing such karma in the world was no easy task. Even if they found someone, it wasn’t certain they would be willing to help. But Zhang Beixuan was determined to assist. The fifty years of cultivation and the Five Thunder True Technique were not as important as the opportunity to transform after passing the tribulation. After the transformation, they could finally be together!
“Husband… shall we go to our bridal chamber?” Tushan Xue whispered.
Zhang Beixuan quickly snapped out of his thoughts and waved his hand, “No need to rush to the bridal chamber. I’ll assist you with your tribulation first.”
“Huh!?” Tushan Xue’s eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
“Husband… what do you mean by that?” She asked.
Zhang Beixuan grinned, “I mean it literally.” He then explained everything the system had said.
Tushan Xue’s complexion became incredibly animated upon hearing this. Ascend to the Heavenly Court? Even for her, it felt like a dream.
“Do you believe me?” Zhang Beixuan asked, looking at her.
Tushan Xue remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently, “I trust my husband!”
“Good! Prepare yourself. I’ll go and bathe and change my clothes.”
Half an hour later, at the back of Longhu Mountain, Tushan Xue sat cross-legged at the mountaintop, and Zhang Beixuan remained as composed as ever. Draped in a celestial purple robe, Zhang Beixuan stood before an offering table adorned with writing materials: a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
The brush was none other than the Celestial Brush used by generations of Heavenly Teachers, and the paper was a special sigil paper preserved within Longhu Mountain, reserved exclusively for writing.
The act of presenting to the heavens was no trivial matter. Zhang Beixuan gazed at the cross-legged Tushan Xue, his voice solemn, “Tushan Xue, today, as a Heavenly Teacher representing Daoist destiny, I shall assist you in overcoming this tribulation.”
“Remember, from now on, cultivate virtue widely, abstain from evil, and strive to attain the path of heavenly immortality as soon as possible!” Tushan Xue nodded earnestly upon hearing Zhang Beixuan’s words.
“Please rest assured, Heavenly Teacher of Daoism. Tushan Xue will remember this well! Heaven and earth shall exact their judgment should I deviate from this path!”
“Very well.”
“Let us begin!”
Tushan Xue’s form suddenly transformed with these words, revealing her as a six-tailed Celestial Fox. In the moment of her emergence, the once clear night sky was instantly overtaken by turbulent winds and rolling clouds. Dark storm clouds gathered in the sky like a tide, and many thunderbolts flickered within them, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
The booming sound awakened even the villagers in the village below Longhu Mountain. After identifying the direction of the thunderclouds, their jaws dropped in shock. People hastily left their homes. By this time, a crowd of sleepless villagers had already gathered at the village entrance.
“What the heck! What’s going on? How did thunder suddenly strike from the mountains?” One villager exclaimed.
“Could it be some evil spirits causing trouble?” Another villager wondered.
“Get outta here! With the power of the Heavenly Teacher, do you think any evil spirits would dare to cause trouble on the mountain? Are they tired of living?” A third villager retorted.
“Village chief! You have to tell us what’s happening! What’s going on?” The villagers demanded.
The old village chief had also emerged from the outskirts of the crowd. He looked up at the place where the thunderclouds had appeared, and after a long while, his expression trembled.
“This… this should be a heavenly tribulation.”
“What!? A heavenly tribulation? The village chief, don’t joke! Isn’t that something that only happens when someone becomes immortal? Has the Heavenly Teacher become an immortal?” Someone in the crowd questioned.
The old village chief glared at the person who had spoken, “How the hell would I know? Do you think I’m a deity like the Heavenly Teacher?”
Li Xiaojia, who was also among the crowd, stood silently, watching the sudden appearance of the thunderclouds on Longhu Mountain. A hint of worry crept into her expression.
