However, unexpectedly, the tribulation spirit seemed even more shocked than Chu Yang. It directly turned tail and fled, shouting as it ran, “Not me, not me…”
With a swish, it vanished without a trace.
What the heck, why did I provoke this little ancestor?
Not to mention that sword over there, not to mention the terrifying monster inside it, just the Eastern Emperor Sovereign's Snow Tear Cold… I can't handle that at all.
Why couldn’t I hold myself back just now? I should have held it in, how did I lose control?!
Little ancestor, please don’t play with me anymore. I really don’t have any good stuff left, sincerely.
Please just go. You can leave now, I won’t see you off!
Not me?
What kind of answer is that?
What’s going on?!
Chu Yang furrowed his brows, thinking, could it be that something happened just now that I don’t know about? It doesn’t make sense for this tribulation spirit to be so afraid of me…
Could it be that Snow Tear Cold gave it a hard time just now?
Yes, that must be it.
“Hey, come back!” Chu Yang was determined. It’s not often that I have a chance to leverage someone’s fear like this, so I can’t let it go to waste. If I don’t make use of it, am I still Chu the great benefactor?
The tribulation spirit didn’t look back and had already no idea where it had gone. Not to mention that it didn’t hear Chu Yang’s words; even if it did, it would pretend not to have heard. Having interactions leads to trouble, without interactions there’s naturally no trouble!
Chu Yang chuckled to himself, pondering how to take advantage of this situation.
As for just now when he was pretending with Snow Tear Cold, that was indeed intentional on Chu Yang's part; he couldn’t just wake up and start weeping, saying, “Big brother, thank you for saving me…”
“Chu Yang!” Tie Butian shouted in surprise, “Look, my cultivation level has improved a lot! What’s going on?”
“Improved a lot?” Chu Yang turned with suspicion, “How much is a lot? Be specific!”
Tie Butian circulated her energy, and Chu Yang was immediately dazzled, unable to believe his eyes.
Isn’t this too fantastical? Before, Tie Butian’s cultivation level was at best just below the human level pinnacle, but now—
Before him, a wave as white as the ocean suddenly lit up, blossoming outwards from Tie Butian's body and gradually spreading!
When it expanded to a radius of at least a hundred zhang, it suddenly contracted violently, all returning to Tie Butian's body.
“How is it?” Tie Butian was incredibly excited, looking up at Chu Yang like a little girl. She eagerly said, “I feel at least twice as strong as before... What level have I reached now? Tell me!”
Chu Yang was stunned.
He was already shocked stiff!
At least twice?
That’s a joke! You can’t elevate from the human level and reach this kind of stage? If you go up one level from human level, you’d still be human level! It doesn’t even reach the earthly level!
And yet you’re surrounded by white light, with lightning retraction—this is a situation that should only appear at the saint level!
And it has to be mid-grade saint level!
My goodness, what’s going on?!
Currently, Tie Butian, even in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, could already be considered a master among masters—Duan Cangkong has cultivated his entire life and is still just at saint level.
And Tie Butian now, purely in terms of cultivation, has already surpassed Duan Cangkong’s entire life of practice.
From human level to mid-human level, upper human level; to earthly level, beginner, mid, upper, pinnacle; then to heavenly level, beginner, mid, high, pinnacle; then to saint level, first grade, mid-grade...
Chu Yang suddenly felt dizzy.
Good gracious!
Just how much has she improved? What kind of thing did Snow Tear Cold use to save both of us?
This effect is truly terrifying!
This is the real meaning of "one step to the heavens," right?!
Tie Butian had just improved her cultivation level and was quite excited, especially when she discovered that she could once again soar into the sky and linger in the air, performing any action at will, making her even more ecstatic.
