Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Chapter 280 - 131: Jingchun’s Ascension

This was the place Jingchun herself had chosen for Crossing the Tribulation.

No one else had come.

Only three people were there to accompany her.

It was nothing like the bustling affair when Hui Ming had Crossed his Tribulation.

At this moment, Jingchun was situated on a massive boulder at the mountain’s peak.

Xu Lei, Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin’s martial aunt watched her from a distance.

"Hui Chi, our children... Although they each have their own destinies now," Jingchun said at last, "if anything happens to them, I’ll have to entrust them to you.

From now on, I won’t be able to help with anything."

"Don’t worry, Jingchun," Xu Lei said. "I will. After all, they’re my children too."

The two daughters and one son that Xu Lei and Jingchun had years ago had already made considerable progress in their Cultivation within the Daoist Sect.

However, because Xu Lei, Jingchun, and Zhao Xin had once been coveted by an Enchantress, they didn’t spend much time with their children, lest the kids become entangled in the karmic consequences.

"Master, after your Ascension!" Zhao Xin called out. "If you see my father, please be sure to say hello for me!"

Jingchun smiled faintly.

Just as she was about to circulate her Magical Power and begin Crossing the Tribulation, an attack appeared out of nowhere.

WHOOSH!

A swarm of Magical Artifacts, like Lotus Treasure Fragments, formed a Lotus Drill-like attack, launching a surprise assault against the meditating Jingchun.

"Hmph?"

Xu Lei reacted instantly, forming his own Lotus Drill to intercept it.

BOOM.

The two drills made of Treasure Discs slammed into one another.

The entire drill formation exploded, shattering into a shower of individual Treasure Discs.

The attacker’s discs then tried to split up and continue the assault individually, but Xu Lei was controlling twenty-one discs—clearly more than his opponent—and blocked them all directly.

"Who would want to ruin Senior Sister’s Tribulation?" Zhao Xin’s martial aunt’s expression turned grim. Frowning, she said, "To risk being killed just to sabotage a Tribulation?

What kind of deep-seated hatred is this?"

Since Jingchun had cultivated to the point of Crossing the Tribulation, she had naturally reached the final stage of the Upper Three Realms, a level comparable to the Bodhisattva Dao.

That’s right—her Cultivation was just that fast and ferocious.

Faced with such an expert, given the attacker’s level of Power, they would surely die if Jingchun were to act.

But this person likely dared to strike with the sole intention of causing a disruption.

After all, if Jingchun spent Magical Power dealing with them, her focus for Crossing the Tribulation would surely be broken, and her chances of success would plummet.

Of course, Xu Lei had already intercepted them.

"The shape of these Treasure Discs... Could this be related to that incident from twenty-three years ago?" Zhao Xin couldn’t help but wonder aloud. "Does he really hate us this much? Willing to throw away his life just to ruin Master’s Tribulation?"

Xu Lei frowned as well, because he also had an idea who it might be.

It had happened twenty-three years ago.

At that time, a Demon had appeared in the Mortal World, not far from their Mortal Manor.

It had been detected by Zhao Xin’s Sensing Magical Artifact, and the three of them had rushed over.

But when they arrived, they saw a young Monk was already there, trying to capture the Demon.

They hadn’t expected the creature to be a Great Demon, and incredibly powerful.

Seeing how strong the Great Demon was, the three of them didn’t intervene.

After all, Jingchun’s Cultivation was nowhere near its current level back then.

Later, the young Monk died.

He was killed by the Great Demon.

The one causing trouble now had to be that young Monk’s father, an old Monk.

When he had learned of the incident, he found out that Xu Lei’s group had been present and blamed them for not saving his son.

Afterward, he couldn’t find the Great Demon, and even if he did, he couldn’t get revenge.

So, he came to hate Xu Lei’s group instead.

In the past two decades, this incident was one of the few that stood out.

But Xu Lei’s group hadn’t paid it much mind, figuring the old Monk had just been overcome with emotion at the time.

They never expected his hatred for them ran so deep.

This time, Xu Lei didn’t know how the man had found out that Jingchun was about to Cross the Tribulation. ’To think he’d actually show up to cause trouble!’

Jingchun’s elegant brows furrowed.

"Focus on preparing for your Tribulation," Xu Lei said. "Leave this to us.

Xin’er, you stay out of it, too.

Martial Aunt, I’ll leave things here to you.

I’m going to check on that fellow."

With that, Xu Lei stepped onto his Locust Leaf Flying Ship and sped away.

Zhao Xin’s martial aunt remained to help Jingchun defend against any further attacks.

Zhao Xin also had a relatively high chance of one day attaining the Dao.

Of course, this required her to avoid wasting Magical Power on her cultivation path.

Therefore, at a time like this, such matters were naturally left for Xu Lei and the others to handle.

This was the role of a Dharma Protector.

Soon enough, Xu Lei found the attacker nearby, just as he’d expected.

It was an old Monk, his face covered in age spots and deep wrinkles, his eyelids drooping heavily.

BOOM.

Without wasting words, Xu Lei summoned his Golden Magic Staff and sent a Golden Dharma Shadow blasting out.

It sent the old Monk flying, blood spilling from his lips.

The old Monk was no match for Xu Lei.

"You’re actually stronger than me," the old Monk’s expression changed. "Damn it!"

"Hui Kun, regarding what happened back then, we were under no obligation to save your son," Xu Lei said. "What right do you have to hate us for it?

If you have any guts, go find that Great Demon and kill it!

That would be real revenge for your son!

Now, get the hell out of my sight.

Otherwise, I’ll kill you today.

Even if it costs me some of my Cultivation, it’s no big deal.

I’m old anyway, and I don’t have much chance of attaining the Dao myself."
