Chapter 746: Philanderer

Cizhen then continued walking into the distance. "Stop with the sweet talk. The tribulation you\'re going to face this time is known as the Tribulation of All Beings."

Ye Guan\'s curiosity was piqued. "Tribulation of All Beings?"

"It\'s called that way because it\'s a tribulation born from all living beings."

As they chatted, they got closer and closer to the lightning region.

Cizhen waved her sleeve, causing the oppressive lightning aura covering Cishu and Cirou to disappear, but the lightning aura around Ye Guan remained, and he was struggling because his Invincible Sword Intent was having trouble resisting it.

Cizhen continued to lead him towards the center of the region and said, "This tribulation originates from all living beings, hence its name. I want you to have a taste of it early on."

Just then, CIzhen stopped and said, "From here on out, you must walk this path by yourself."

By myself? Ye Guan remained silent for a moment before walking deeper into the lightning region.

After just a couple of steps, he felt an overwhelming pressure boring down on him. The pressure was so heavy that he felt like there were mountains stacked on top of him. He clenched his fists, and his expression became heavy.

He could be considered to be invincible against those below ninety percent divinity. However, the pressure he was facing right now made him feel like it was impossible to resist.

Ye Guan took two steps forward with great difficulty and was stupefied to find that his fleshly body was already struggling to withstand the pressure. He could barely move!

Ye Guan closed his eyes, and his Invincible Sword Intent gushed out of him like a torrent to resist the waves of lightning power.

However, his sword intent was actually dissipating in the face of the pressure. Ye Guan was in disbelief. Since his Invincible Sword Intent had become divine, it had never been destroyed by an external force unless Ye Guan had transformed it into a sword.

Astonishingly, the Invincible Sword Domain couldn\'t withstand the pressure here for some reason.

Ye Guan summoned his sword domain, but it dissipated slowly as soon as it appeared, just like his sword intent.

He turned toward Cizhen with a baffled look.,

"Keep going," Cizhen replied.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan continued to release his sword intent to resist the pressure, which was the waves of lightning power around him.

His sword intent was dissipating nonstop, but he didn\'t give up and summoned his sword intent nonstop as well.

Meanwhile, Cizhen, Cirou, and Cishu watched quietly from a distance.

Cirou walked over to Cizhen and said, "Sister Zhen, I think he\'s too weak to withstand the lightning power here."

Cizhen nodded slightly and replied, "That\'s exactly why he needs to be tempered."

"Are you talking about his sword intent?" Cirou asked.

"Yes," Cizhen said with a smile.

Cirou nodded in understanding and said no more.

In the distance, Ye Guan\'s sword intent was being destroyed repeatedly by the lightning power, making him feel increasingly frustrated.

However, he forced himself to calm down. If he looked at it from another perspective, going against the lightning power was an opportunity for him. It was the perfect chance to temper his sword intent and himself.

Realizing that, Ye Guan\'s mind became completely calm. He no longer released his sword intent haphazardly and began studying the lightning power instead.

Cizhen\'s lips curled up into a smile at the sight.

Cirou was also a bit surprised. "He has truly matured."

"One naturally matures after going through a lot of hardships," Cizhen remarked.

"Sister Zhen, I\'ve always been wondering why you\'ve taken a liking to him..." Cirou asked.

Women generally preferred someone stronger than themselves, and Ye Guan\'s strength back then was worlds apart from Cizhen\'s.

Cizhen asked back, "Why do you like him?"

"I asked you first, so you should answer me first," Cirou said.

Cizhen shook her head and smiled. "I\'ve always thought that relationships should be simple. There\'s no need to overthink it. Isn\'t it tiring to keep thinking about whether your partner is stronger or not? Besides, no matter how strong he becomes, he\'ll never surpass me, haha..."

Cirou rolled her eyes at Cizhen and replied, "You haven\'t answered my question."

"Simply put, I enjoy spending time with him."

"Actually, Sister Zhen didn\'t technically love him back then," Cishu chimed in, "However, she didn\'t reject him outright because he\'s one of us, and she considered him as one of her own. She doesn\'t want to overthink her feelings toward him, as she believes that an emotion like love is just an emotion in the end. It doesn\'t matter in the grand scheme of things."

Cishu\'s expression was complicated as she turned to look at Cizhen. "Back then, you were already cultivating your divinity, so you were detached from everything, including your emotions. Am I right?"

Cirou was taken aback, and she turned to look at Cizhen. She realized just then that she had been overlooking something all these years—Cizhen had already been cultivating her divinity back then!

Cultivators cultivating their divinity were often detached and indifferent.

Cizhen grabbed Cishu\'s hand and smiled, saying, "You little girl, you actually know how to provoke people now."

Cishu fell silent. She was just guessing, and Cizhen\'s words had just confirmed that her guess was correct. With that, Cishu became afraid—afraid that Cizhen would walk the path of divinity to its end.

There was a massive gap between truly loving someone and playing around with them. Cishu was afraid that Cizhen would truly become indifferent to everything, including her emotions.

"Are you afraid that I\'ll become a stranger to you?" Cizhen asked.

Cishu nodded.

Cizhen looked up at Ye Guan in the distance and said, "Actually, I did almost take that final step—reaching a hundred percent divinity plus opening a unique path. However, I ultimately chose not to take that final step, and it\'s all because of him and you. He had convinced me when he said that he was willing to become the King of Relying on Others for me. When I heard that, I suddenly wondered about what was the point of becoming invincible if I had to give up everything for the sake of it."

Cishu held Cizhen\'s hand without saying a word.

"That\'s why I think it\'s better to have some attachments," Cizhen said, "And my attachments are you guys."

Cirou asked, "He\'ll eventually start cultivating divinity, too, won\'t he?"

"Yes," Cizhen replied.

Cirou\'s mouth fluttered open, but she didn\'t say anything in the end.

Cishu also looked somewhat worried.

"It\'s unavoidable," Cizhen remarked, "He walks the path of humanity, but without experiencing the tempering of divinity, his humanity will not be significant in the grand scheme of things."

Cirou expressed her concern, saying, "Will he eventually choose to achieve a hundred percent divinity?"

Cizhen said, "That depends on him."

"I don\'t think he\'ll do that," Cirou said.

Cishu was puzzled. "Why do you think so?"

Cirou calmly replied, "Because he\'s a bit of a philanderer."

Cishu was at a loss for words.

In the distance, Ye Guan unleashed his sword intent nonstop. However, he no longer chose to confront the lightning power head-on like earlier.

Instead, he adopted a defensive stance and was trying to parry the lightning power instead of blocking it. Soon, he realized that parrying the lightning power was incredibly effective against it.

Ye Guan had been relying on the unique nature of his Invincible Sword Intent, which meant that he had a penchant for confronting his enemies head-on.

When he changed his approach and chose to let his sword intent take a defensive stance, parrying the lightning power rather than confronting it head-on, he was pleasantly surprised by what he had discovered.

His sword intent fused with spacetime power was strong enough to parry the lightning power. Although it was strenuous, the lightning power could no longer destroy his sword intent in the blink of an eye.

Combining hardness and softness!

It could be said that his sword intent was the epitome of hardness, and incorporating some softness into it gave him an unexpected result.

Cirou noticed that and remarked, "His sword intent has taken on a defensive stance."

Cizhen nodded. "Relying solely on hardness is not viable for the long-term, as there will always be something too powerful to confront head-on. It\'s a good thing that he realized that today, as he will suffer fewer losses in the future. His sword intent\'s biggest flaw was its inability to jump between hardness and softness. I\'m hoping that this tribulation trial will upgrade his sword intent."

"Big Sister, when are you going to leave this place?" Cirou asked.

Cishu also looked at Cizhen. They knew that Cizhen was strong enough to leave this place, and even the Evil Dao couldn\'t stop her from leaving.

"If I leave and this tribulation ends up erupting..." Cizhen shook her head and stared at Ye Guan once again. "You can say that my time of departure depends on him."

Cirou and Cishu stared at Ye Guan as well.

Cirou\'s eyes flashed with a hint of pity for Ye Guan as she remarked, "He\'s carrying such a heavy burden on his shoulders..."

Ye Guan had changed significantly over the past few years; he had truly matured a lot.

"Once we\'re done here, we\'re going to the Milky Way. I\'ve been missing that place," Cizhen said.

The Milky Way! Cirou\'s face lit up with a smile; she had also taken a liking to the Milky Way.

"Count me in."

Cishu chimed in, "What about the True Universe?"

Cirou looked at her swollen belly and said, "Don\'t we have your little one? Let your little one inherit the True Universe in the future."

The True Universe would always belong to Cishu\'s child; the identity of the Guanxuan Universe\'s master in the future didn\'t matter at all.

They had no doubts that only Cishu\'s child could stabilize the True Universe.

Cirou recalled something just then and asked, "Little Shu, have you ever thought of letting your child become the Academy Master?"

Cishu rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you trying to start some palace drama?"

"Pfft!" Cirou laughed heartily. The child in Cishu\'s womb also had the right to inherit the Guanxuan Academy.

Cishu smiled and said, "Talking about that right now is meaningless. I personally think that the inheritor doesn\'t really matter. It\'s all going to depend on the children, like who is the most suitable of them all."

Just then, Cizhen turned to the right and saw a woman staring coldly at Ye Guan in the distance.

The woman was none other than the Evil Dao!

"What a fool he is for trying to stop the Universe Tribulation," said the Evil Dao. "Once I\'ve suppressed the Virtuous Dao, I\'ll accumulate a hundred percent divinity and open up a unique path. I really want to see how you\'re going to resist me by then. And that woman..."

The Evil Dao\'s eyes flashed in a resentful light. That woman in a plain skirt! The humiliation that she had suffered at the hands of that woman would be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
