65: True Immortal has been achieved

"In my hundred phoenix diagram world, combined with my special Physique and System... er, special technique, plus the Immortal Realm Pill I've prepared for you... I'm confident that within a year inside the Formation, I can pile you up to the True Immortal Realm!"

He spread his hands, revealing his 'unscrupulous merchant' nature:

"But the resource consumption to start this '10x Speed Cultivation VIP' is astronomical. As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep's back; with your Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect's ten-thousand-year foundation, I assume... your inventory is quite abundant?"

Chu Ye laid out the entire plan and finally gave her a reassurance: "By my estimation, one year of Dual Cultivation inside the Formation is only a month in the outside world. After a month, what you return to the Sect will be a genuine True Immortal Sect Master. This deal isn't a loss, is it?"

Madam Hua Yu's heart raced as she listened, her eyes shimmering with light.

Doubt?

She had long been convinced of Chu Ye's methods. There were naturally concerns, but compared to the temptation of becoming a True Immortal, those could all be compromised.

She took a deep breath, quickly regaining the calmness and decisiveness befitting a Sect Master: "This matter... I need a day to make arrangements. Sect affairs must be properly handed over, and I'll leave a Clone to preside over things to deceive the outside world and avoid alerting the enemy."

She looked up, her gaze toward Chu Ye now carrying a desperate determination and a subtle, hard-to-detect heat: "After one day, I and the ten-thousand-year accumulation of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect will be at Your Highness's... disposal."

Chu Ye smiled with satisfaction.

Very good, the fish had not only taken the bait but had also prepared the seasoning and the pot itself.

"I'll await the good news." He let go of Madam Hua Yu, his eyes already calculating where to first carve that 'Time Retrograde Formation' to save on Materials.

A 'True Immortal Crash Course' smashed together with resources was about to begin within the hundred phoenix diagram in a certain erotic yet efficient manner.

More than a month passed outside, while inside the hundred phoenix diagram, the time Formation had quietly operated for a full year.

During this year, Chu Ye had not been idle, acting as the 'Chief Dual Cultivation Instructor' and conducting an all-around, high-intensity 'special training' for Madam Hua Yu.

From theoretical foundations to practical combat techniques, from energy guidance to posture optimization—including but not limited to certain legendary advanced courses—it could be said he taught her everything, 'polishing' together day and night.

Under Chu Ye's intensive teaching of 'resource irrigation' regardless of cost and 'practice brings true knowledge,' Madam Hua Yu's physical potential was developed to the extreme, and her cultivation foundation accumulated deeply to burst forth.

Finally, after a night where 'theory met practice' particularly deeply, her aura surged violently, touching that long-dreamed-of barrier—the True Immortal Realm!

However, the joy of the Realm Breakthrough had not lasted for a moment before a sudden change occurred!

The sky within the hundred phoenix diagram changed color, and an unprecedented, terrifying Heavenly Tribulation crashed down!

This tribulation lightning was extraordinary, containing a majestic heavenly might and... anger?

It was as if Madam Hua Yu stepping into the True Immortal Realm was some kind of transgressive act that violated the taboos of heaven and earth!

Immortal-Slaying Lightning Tribulation!

One silver Lightning Dragon after another smashed down with the aura of destruction.

Relying on her dense foundation as a newly ascended True Immortal and the tough Physique 'specially trained' by Chu Ye over the year, Madam Hua Yu endured the first few waves, but her aura was already unstable and her face pale.

Chu Ye watched from the side with a furrowed brow.

"Are you kidding me?"

He was annoyed, "I've worked hard 'toiling' for over a year, smashed countless Medicinal Pills and resources, and finally carved this 'unpolished jade' into a masterpiece."

Just as success was in sight, you, God, jump out and say you want to 'recycle' her?

I don't agree!

Although he didn't understand why the external Heavenly Dao reacted so violently, right now, this was in his hundred phoenix diagram Small World!

My territory, my rules!

Chu Ye's thoughts turned like lightning as his authority as the World Master was fully activated!

He mobilized the Origin power of the entire world, turning it into an invisible barrier to weaken and offset the Heavenly Tribulation's power layer by layer; simultaneously, he urged the primordial tree embryo to release vast vitality, continuously injecting it into Madam Hua Yu's body to help her recover quickly.

This action seemed to completely infuriate the invisible will of the Heavenly Dao.

The tribulation clouds across the sky gathered frantically, all the destructive energy condensing into an unprecedented silver Lightning Dragon. It locked onto Madam Hua Yu and, with a resolute will of judgment and erasure, crashed down.

The power of this strike made even Chu Ye feel a palpitation—if she took it head-on, Madam Hua Yu would be dead or crippled; if she dodged, she would surely die.

"A year of my kidneys, an 'outstanding graduate' I finally trained up, and you tell me the final exam is a certain-death scenario?"

Anger rose in Chu Ye's heart, "How can I tolerate this?"

His eyes turned sharp, and he no longer held back!

The Law of Reincarnation struck out fiercely, mixing with other Laws of heaven and earth that could be mobilized within the hundred phoenix diagram, turning into a brilliant stream of light to actively meet that destructive Lightning Dragon!

"BOOM—!!!"

At the moment of contact, the Law barrier Chu Ye condensed was easily torn apart like paper. The silver Lightning Dragon's remaining power did not diminish, heading straight for his main body; the aura of death rushed at his face!

Right at this critical moment.

[Ding! High-intensity external rule intrusion detected. Threat level: High. Activating autonomous defense and countermeasure procedures!]

The System's cold, emotionless notification sounded in Chu Ye's mind like heavenly music.

He didn't even see clearly what happened.

He only saw that silver Lightning Dragon, capable of slaying immortals and destroying gods, suddenly stall, distort, and then silently disintegrate and vanish when it touched a point two feet in front of him, as if it had hit an invisible, absolutely unshakable wall!

Not even a trace of energy aftermath leaked out.

What was even stranger was that the tribulation lightning energy 'processed' by the System did not completely dissipate. Instead, a small portion was transformed and purified, turning into a gentle yet majestic force that quietly surged into Chu Ye's body!

[Absorbing and transforming high-level rule energy... Cultivation increasing... System Points function activated...]

A series of prompts flashed by. Chu Ye stood frozen in place, and before he could digest this sudden change, he found the tribulation clouds overhead beginning to dissipate rapidly, and that terrifying lock-on and killing intent also receded like a tide.

Between heaven and earth, a peaceful immortal essence containing the meaning of recognition and baptism descended, enveloping Madam Hua Yu.

The Heavenly Tribulation... passed?

Because the System had 'illegally processed' the final and strongest 'examiner' lightning, the Heavenly Dao's will seemed to judge the 'exam as passed'?

Bathing in the immortal light, Madam Hua Yu's aura stabilized and sublimated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

A transcendent, vast True Immortal pressure naturally emanated, yet it carried a trace of charming allure unique to her.

She slowly opened her eyes, immortal light swirling within them. Feeling the surging, boundless True Immortal power within her that was completely different from before, the shock and wild joy in her heart were beyond words.

Her gaze immediately fell upon Chu Ye, her eyes filled with indescribable gratitude, dependence, and tenderness.
