Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

"Let's go!"

Ye Qing wasted no time on words, and though he didn't understand why the "little lady" from the Northern Domain would trigger the Heavenly Tribulation,

the urgency in his demeanor was unmistakable.

As he spoke, he'd already grabbed Gu Changge's shoulder and stepped across the void towards the Northern Domain!

By now, Gu Changge's Realm had reached the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm; traversing the void presented little pressure for his body—his vision merely blurred, leaving him unable to see clearly, but without the discomfort he felt before.

Meanwhile...

[Heavenly Cold Sect]

Inside her cave dwelling, Liu Qingqing's eyes flickered.

She could feel that after refining the last elixir, her Root Bone seemed to have reached a new height!

It had surpassed the Talent of Dao Body!

"Could it be... my husband has always had such talent?"

"No wonder he's been breaking through so rapidly!"

"Such a talent could only be the legendary Sacred Body mentioned in legends, one that cultivates far faster than those with Taoist Body Talent!"

Overwhelmed by the changes in her Root Bone, Liu Qingqing couldn't help but marvel aloud.

Still, there was an inexplicable sense of palpitations, a sense of looming crisis in her heart!

"An illusion...?" Liu Qingqing murmured, frowning.

At the same time, within the inner sanctum of the Cold Pond, the Purple Spirit Saintess, who was refining the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures given by the Gu Family Ancestor, suddenly looked up in astonishment.

"Tribulation Clouds?"

"Why would a Heavenly Tribulation appear all of a sudden?"

The look in the Purple Spirit Saintess's eyes was full of incredulity, her tone even unsure.

But the aura of those Tribulation Clouds was unmistakably real!

She, a survivor of Heavenly Tribulation herself, would never forget that unique aura of Tribulation for as long as she lived!

It was a fear etched into the instincts of all living beings!

A formidable presence no one dared challenge!

Aside from her, a figure in the Sage Realm, who among the others in the Heavenly Cold Sect had ever experienced a Heavenly Tribulation?

For a moment, all she could do was shout, using her Spiritual Energy to amplify her voice: "Everyone, immediately evacuate the Sect area!"

"Heavenly Tribulation is approaching!"

The last four words, amplified by her Spiritual Energy, echoed repeatedly above the Heavenly Cold Sect!

The disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect felt a vague unease at that moment.

It was as if a great terror loomed over them, threatening their very lives at every turn.

At first, most believed it to be their imagination.

But as that echoing voice reverberated, everyone was stunned!

"Heavenly Tribulation!?"

"Why would a Heavenly Tribulation descend upon our Heavenly Cold Sect?"

"Haven't we refrained from committing deeds so heinous they provoke the heavens?"

The immediate reaction of many Heavenly Cold Sect disciples was not that someone was breaking through, but that some unforgivable cosmic offense had occurred.

But the Heavenly Cold Sect was an upstanding Sect—how could they harbor anyone who brought about a punitive Heavenly Tribulation?

"Evacuate quickly!"

"Follow me!"

Compared to the disciples, the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders reacted much faster.

They immediately began to organize the disciples to evacuate!

One after another, they transformed into streaks of light, shuttling through the Sect, moving the disciples outside the Sect's bounds.

Otherwise, once the Tribulation Clouds formed and locked onto their Qi, there would be no escape!

Even so, there were disciples in seclusion who, despite the danger of backlash, forcibly interrupted their Cultivation and fled for their lives!

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

"I fear... it must be because I've achieved Saint Body Talent!"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Qingqing was momentarily stunned, then quickly came to a realization.

The unease she had felt wasn't just an illusion but was real danger!

Without hesitation, she hurried out of her dwelling and ran straight towards the forest to the east of the Heavenly Cold Sect!

In the process, she projected her voice through her Spiritual Energy: "No one is to approach the Purple Bamboo Forest to the east of the Sect; the Heavenly Tribulation is because of me."

While transforming into a Tunneling Light toward the Purple Bamboo Forest, she observed the forming Tribulation Clouds.

Sure enough, the slowly forming clouds, because she headed east, continuously locked directly above her!

Her guess was right: the Heavenly Tribulation had come for her!

"Saintess?"

"Why would the Saintess trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"It's true the Saintess has made rapid breakthroughs over the last few years, but her Realm isn't even up to Seventh Grade yet!"

"Why would she invoke a Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Heavenly Cold Sect disciples were both astonished and confused upon hearing this.

Wan Shan Taoist furrowed his brows equally perplexed.

Seeing this, many Elders quickly caught on and followed Liu Qingqing's command, directing everyone to steer clear of the eastern Purple Bamboo Forest.

The Tribulation Cloud looming over the Heavenly Cold Sect had departed, and they no longer needed to relocate other disciples elsewhere.

"This little girl... why would she draw a Heavenly Tribulation?" Even the Purple Spirit Saintess, standing in the Cold Pond inner sanctum, was puzzled, her gaze filled with confusion as she looked towards Liu Qingqing, who was now stopped above the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Looking up, she could sense that the Tribulation Clouds were no trivial threat.

While not as formidable as the Heavenly Tribulation she faced when breaking through to the Sage Realm, they were certainly beyond the defense of a Sixth Grade Perfection!

Yet, no one could intervene in a Heavenly Tribulation, or else they'd only drag themselves into a death trap!

A Heavenly Tribulation meddled by others would be far more terrifying than the usual!

Such was the wrath of the heavens, naturally met with severe punishment!

Soon enough, the Tribulation Clouds fully condensed.

Under the alarmed gazes of many Heavenly Cold Sect disciples, the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck fiercely, aiming straight at Liu Qingqing!

Liu Qingqing, dressed in a light green gown, her stunning face revealing a trace of panic,

didn't have time to think and hastily summoned her Magic Treasure to fend off the lightning!
