Chapter 159: Chaos Clock, Vermilion Phoenix Egg
Chen Daoxuan silently counted the days in his heart.
On the fifth day, he broke through to the sixth level of the Profound Sky Realm in the morning. After the heavenly tribulation dissipated, the weather turned clear, and the sunshine was quite pleasant. A good day for sleeping.
On the sixth day, he broke through to the seventh level of the Profound Sky Realm in the morning. After the heavenly tribulation subsided, the sunlight was bright, and the mood was good. Another suitable day for sleeping.
On the seventh day, he reached the eighth level. The heavenly tribulation scattered, and the sunlight disappeared. It was a slightly rainy and cool day. The mood was average. Time for sleep.
On the eighth day, he achieved the ninth level. After the heavenly tribulation dispersed, although the weather was nice, it was a bit boring. Time for sleep. And as the sun slowly rose, the ninth day arrived.
"Today is the day to break through to the Unity Realm," Chen Daoxuan stretched lazily while silently checking the continuous notifications in the system.
[Host's Senior Disciple Leng Yanran, breakthrough to the second level of the Unity Realm, reward: 2000 system points.]
[Host Junior Disciple Li Yourong, breakthrough to the eighth level of the Profound Sky Realm, reward: 200 system points.]
[]
[Host Junior Disciple Li Yourong, breakthrough to the first level of the Unity Realm, reward: 2000 system points, additional reward: Chaos Clock (Replica).]
[]
[Host's Senior Disciple Leng Yanran, breakthrough to the first level of the Annihilation Realm, reward: 20,000 system points, additional reward: Sacred Beast Vermilion Phoenix (Pet Egg).]
After nine days, Leng Yanran and Li Yourong had essentially secluded themselves for nine years. During this time, constant prompt sounds echoed. Apart from special rewards for breakthroughs to higher realms, everything else was just system points, which Chen Daoxuan didn't care much about.
"Chaos Clock!?"
However, when he saw the Chaos Clock reward for Li Yourong's Unity Realm breakthrough, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but be amazed. Although it was a replica, even if it had a trace of the true Chaos Clock's power, it was already quite formidable.
This Chaos Clock was like Leng Yanran's replica God Slaying Spear, both were priceless ancient treasures! It was undoubtedly a supreme defensive treasure!
"And Yanran's reward for breaking through the Annihilation Realm is actually a Vermilion Phoenix pet egg."
Chen Daoxuan held the Chaos Clock in his left hand and, after studying it for a moment, used his right hand to summon a fiery-red and scorching-hot pet egg. Just as he was curious about it, two graceful figures walked out of the Tower of Enlightenment.
Although only nine days had passed outside, Leng Yanran and Li Yourong had truly experienced nine years inside. Especially Li Yourong, if it weren't for the fact that her senior sister hadn't emerged from seclusion yet, she would have already wanted to come out.
Rumble!
Just as the two were about to head to the small pavilion to pay respects to their master, thunder rumbled in the sky. Looking up, the area for thousands of miles was already covered by clouds of tribulation, brewing the terrifying heavenly thunder capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
"S-Senior Sister Did you attract the heavenly tribulation?"
Li Yourong opened her mouth slightly, her face pale as she looked at the heavenly tribulation in the sky, fear evident in her voice. "...It shouldn't be."
Leng Yanran frowned at the terrifying tribulation. If it was aimed at her, that would be beyond unreasonable. Even though she felt her strength had improved significantly after breaking through to the Annihilation Realm, it was impossible for her to attract a heavenly tribulation!
Before the two could react, a stream of light rushed into the tribulation clouds. A small mouth opened, and with each inhale and exhale, it swallowed the entire expanse of tribulation clouds, along with the brewing heavenly thunder.
"Oh? Out of Seclusion?"
Before Chen Daoxuan could even sense the changes brought about by his own breakthrough to the Unity Realm, he noticed two disciples, their faces pale from the terrifying might of the heavenly tribulation.
Beneath heavenly tribulation, all living creatures lacked the ability to resist. Those who could directly face heavenly tribulations and successfully overcome them were already considered immortals!
"Master, Master! The heavenly tribulation just now"
Li Yourong pointed to the now clear sky above and weakly asked.
"It's nothing. You'll get used to it. However can you tell your master why you only broke through to the eighth level of the Unity Realm, Yourong?"
Chen Daoxuan looked at the two disciples. Leng Yanran had already reached the sixth level of the Annihilation Realm, but Li Yourong had only reached the eighth level of the Unity Realm. Upon hearing the master's question, Li Yourong immediately hid behind her senior sister, tugging at her clothes and peeking at her master, struggling to speak.
"...As your master, can I still spank you? Come, sit down and tell me slowly."
Chen Daoxuan, seeing her reaction, couldn't help but twitch his lips. Upon careful reflection, he seemed to have never mistreated his disciples, right?
"Oh"
Li Yourong lowered her head in shame, unable to meet the gaze of her master. However, she obediently sat across from her master alongside Senior Sister.
"Speak up, what's the matter?" Chen Daoxuan asked slowly after sipping his tea of enlightenment.
"Because, because Yourong has been cultivating for three years Senior Sister, why don't you explain!" Li Yourong spoke halfway, then lowered her head and pulled at Senior Sister's sleeve for help.
"Master, Junior Sister usually cultivates and then goes to the second floor of the Tower of Enlightenment, where the Tower Spirit helps her enter an illusion Indulging in illusions of braised white goose, braised pork trotters, braised ribs, braised"
Leng Yanran showed a helpless expression and detailed the situation to her master.
"Enough, stop talking Yourong, come here."
As Master's expression grew darker while he listened, Li Yourong could only lower her head and approach Master's side, reluctantly.
"Lie down."
Chen Daoxuan patted his own thigh, his face stern, signaling for Li Yourong to lie on his thigh. Once Li Yourong was in place, he took out his Hongmeng Ruler.
"Smack!"
"Ah! Master, didn't you say you wouldn't spank Yourong?"
"Smack!"
"It hurts, Master, it hurts"
"Smack!"
"Sniff, Yourong knows she was wrong"
Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan put away the Hongmeng Ruler, allowing Li Yourong to stand up.
Standing up, Li Yourong held her sore bottom with an aggrieved expression. She had just been told she wouldn't be spanked, but how long had that lasted
"I don't know how to deal with you!"
Chen Daoxuan sighed with a mix of frustration and concern. He hadn't used much force, only aiming to teach his disciple a lesson without causing harm.
"Consider this a lesson learned. Don't be so lax in your cultivation again. If I have to discipline you in the future, it won't be so light! Learn from your Senior Sister, be more diligent.
"Oh, by the way, Yanran, don't worry. I'm fair with rewards and punishments. Yourong's lack of dedication in her practice is her own responsibility, and I won't blame you."
Chen Daoxuan remembered Yanran was watching and decided to explain, fearing his previous actions might have scared her.
However, when he looked at Yanran, he suddenly froze.
The envy and anticipation on Yanran's face What did they mean???
