Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

The Mu family members were very angry. Who was deliberately provoking the Mu family by choosing this moment to undergo the Golden Core tribulation?

When Mu An arrived at the Mu family, he was naturally warmly welcomed. Despite the impact of the heavenly tribulation phenomenon, the Mu family head and Mu Quan were still very happy. In Jiangyun City, which family dared to compete with the Mu family?

“Big Brother, you’re finally back! That’s great!”

“An’er, you’re back, that’s all that matters!”

Although the excitement of returning home had diminished somewhat, Mu An was more focused on the person undergoing the Golden Core tribulation. As he walked toward the mansion, he asked, “Do we know who is forming their Golden Core over there? Suddenly, someone comes here to undergo the tribulation, and the family has no idea about it?”

Mu Quan casually replied, “What’s there to be afraid of? Big Brother is here. Even if someone outside forms their Golden Core, what does it matter? Can they have a Nascent Soul master backing them?”

The Mu family head stroked his beard and said, “An’er, why are you worried? The only cultivators who have recently come to Jiangyun City are those four. They indeed went deep into the mountains, and given their cultivation, it’s possible they have reached this stage.” Although he didn’t want to admit it, Aunt Hua Gu had died at their hands, so their cultivation must at least be at the peak of Foundation Establishment. “Since they escaped Jiangyun City, I’ve inquired about their origins. I only know they encountered the Yan family’s ships at sea, and came to Jiangyun City with them. Perhaps they are from the other side of that sea region.”

“Even if they’re strong, how can they compare to An’er? Not everyone can have a Nascent Soul master as their teacher.”

Mu An also agreed. As a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul expert, how could he lose his dignity and pride? “Father is right. After a few days, I’ll go meet them.”

“That’s good. Ha ha, let them see the power of the Tailuo Sect!” The Mu family head laughed heartily.

The Mu family continued with their original preparations, hosting a grand celebration for Mu An’s Golden Core formation. Various factions in the city came to offer their gifts, and the Yan family, of course, was no exception. They had to show face to both the Mu family and Mu An. However, while hosting guests, thunder rumbled in the distance as another person underwent the Golden Core tribulation. Even the guests couldn’t avoid being distracted, and some of their attention was diverted to the heavenly tribulation outside.

Mu An, being sharp, could easily notice that some people were distracted, and his frustration grew toward the cultivator undergoing the tribulation at that moment. He felt that once he defeated this person, his anger would subside. As he listened to the compliments of others, his mind wandered, preoccupied with thoughts of this tribulation.

Finally, the tribulation ended, and the Mu family’s feast also came to an end. Mu An decided to head out to meet the newly advanced Golden Core cultivator in the mountains. “Brother, big brother, are you going to teach that scoundrel a lesson in the mountains? Take me with you!” Mu Quan ran into Mu An’s courtyard, shouting loudly.

Mu An sighed and said, “If you want to go, go ahead, but don’t wander off. There are quite a few Golden Core demonic beasts in there, and I can’t always look after you.”

“Got it, big brother!” Mu Quan was thrilled. What were the Golden Core demonic cultivators compared to his big brother? He was confident they would step aside when they saw Mu An. Mu Quan even imagined that once they entered the mountains, he could ask Mu An to subdue a Golden Core demonic beast as a spirit pet. That way, if he encountered a similar situation in the future where the family’s Golden Core elders wouldn’t listen to him, he could send his spirit pet out to handle it.

Mu An, accompanied by the disciples of the Tailuo Sect, prepared to leave. However, just as they were about to depart, the rumble of thunder sounded once more, shaking everyone.

Mu Quan was stunned. “Big brother, could it be that someone else is undergoing the tribulation again? That can’t be possible! It must be a fake!”

The cultivators in Jiangyun City once again turned their attention to the distant mountain range. Another person was undergoing the Golden Core tribulation. Who would have thought that Golden Core formation would come one after another like this?

The second tribulation phenomenon occurred in the same direction as the first. Mu An had no choice but to delay his plans. If he rashly entered the area of the tribulation, he too would be caught up in it.

In Jiangyun City, a place where Golden Core was the highest level of cultivation, tribulation phenomena were rare, and it might be a hundred years before another one was seen. Yet now, two people were undergoing tribulations one after another. How could the cultivators of Jiangyun City not be shocked? The shock they felt far surpassed Mu An’s return. Many cultivators left their cultivation residences and flew into the air, heading out of the city to observe the distant thunder tribulation.

“Who is undergoing the tribulation this time? Before, it was one of the four. Who is it this time?”

Someone swallowed nervously and said, “It’s still in the same direction. Maybe it’s another one of those cultivators from before.”

“How is that possible? Could they all be at the peak of Foundation Establishment?”

“It’s possible. Otherwise, how could those dozen or so cultivators all die without anyone escaping?”

Many from the Yan family were also gathered in the air outside the city. Yan Xun, surrounded by several Yan family disciples, was asked, “Third Elder, someone is saying it’s Chang Ye and his companions undergoing the tribulation. Is that true? Are they really that powerful?”

Yan Xun had initially thought he had overestimated the strength of these four, but the consecutive Golden Core phenomena made him realize that he had still underestimated them. “There’s always someone stronger. Cultivators should never be arrogant or underestimate others. They’ve been hiding their true strength.”

Yan Yuyin’s eyes widened. This was such a shocking revelation. Two consecutive Golden Core formations? She believed that one of them had to be Chang Ye. That meant Chang Ye had become a Golden Core predecessor, just like Mu An. Now, Yan Yuchen didn’t need to worry anymore. At the same time, a bit of jealousy arose in her heart. For cultivators like them, marrying a Golden Core predecessor would be a great fortune. Many would be sent to serve as concubines or attendants to Golden Core experts.

She never considered that just because they were interested in someone, it didn’t necessarily mean the other person would be interested in them.

Perhaps it was the initial display of Chi Changye’s Foundation Establishment cultivation and his identity as a lone cultivator that gave them confidence. If Chi Changye had revealed his Golden Core status from the start, they might have admired him for his extraordinary appearance and powerful abilities. But would they have assumed he would accept their admiration as a matter of course?

That initial confidence clouded their judgment, making them increasingly arrogant.

Three days and nights later, the thunderous tribulation finally ended. The cultivators gathered outside the city let out a long sigh of relief. Although they were far away, the phenomenon was enough for them to know that the cultivator had successfully passed the tribulation and advanced.

Yan Xun and the other elders of the Yan family exchanged wry smiles. The elders of the Yan family were mostly at the peak of Foundation Establishment, but as they grew older, it became increasingly difficult to make the leap to Golden Core. If it were that easy, they could have closed themselves off to attempt a breakthrough. But now, seeing younger juniors forming Golden Cores one after another, they couldn’t help but feel a bitter pang in their hearts.

“The cultivation world truly belongs to the younger generation,” Yan Xun muttered.

“Indeed, but it’s strange. These people keep advancing one after another, which shows they have plenty of preparation for forming their Golden Cores. They must be disciples from some great power or key heirs of a big family. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t have easy access to a Tianyuan Pill.”

The Yan family, despite having some Tianyuan Pills, had only a limited number. Even the elders couldn’t just take them at will. Those pills were reserved for the most talented and promising cultivators in the family.

If they had known these cultivators had so many Golden Core preparations on them, they might have taken the opportunity to rob them while at sea.

Of course, this thought came from others, not from Yan Xun. Yan Xun had already guessed that Chi Changye was a Golden Core cultivator. At the time, their strongest cultivators were merely at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Going up against a Golden Core cultivator would have been courting death.

“What’s even stranger is that the Golden Core demonic cultivators in the mountains are letting these people stay there. How could they tolerate all the chaos and explosions these past few days?” Yan Xun continued.

“Yes, how are they coexisting peacefully? We know those Golden Core demonic cultivators are not easy to deal with,” someone else chimed in.

Everyone was curious and speculated endlessly. The next day, the excitement surrounding the Golden Core formation didn’t die down. Once again, the thunderous sound rang out in the same direction.

Jiangyun City’s cultivators were left speechless. “What’s going on? Is this ever going to end? When will we get a break?”

This time, when they looked toward the sky where the third Golden Core phenomenon appeared, they seemed a bit dazed and confused.

Mu An’s plans were once again delayed. The frustration in his heart, which had been strong when he first returned, had now lessened considerably. He was extremely angry, yet there was nothing he could do. Deep down, he knew it was unlikely he could recover face for the Mu family from these people. Even if he were a genius, he could never take on three people like Yan Yuanjing, that madman.

The Yan family patriarch couldn’t sit still any longer and asked Yan Xun, “Who’s forming the Golden Core this time? And from the looks of it, this one seems even bigger than the previous two. The cultivator undergoing the tribulation this time must have greater potential than the previous two, right?”

Yan Xun gave a bitter smile, unable to express anything else. “Patriarch, those four, not long from now, might all be Golden Core cultivators. I believe they came from some great family or sect, perhaps looking for an opportunity to form their Golden Cores.”

The patriarch of the Yan family trembled slightly. Four Golden Core cultivators? The thought sent a chill down his spine, but also made him envious. How could such talents not be born in the Yan family? Seeing that the Mu family was celebrating with the whole city for just one, if the Yan family had four, they would have boasted to the entire continent.

In the deep mountains, Brother Tiger irritably scratched the ground with his claws. Was this ever going to end? One thunderclap after another. He had already moved to a new den, and just when he was about to take a nap, the thunderstorm blasted him awake again. He poked his head out to take a look, nearly giving the tiger a heart attack. Which bastard was struck by such a powerful thunder tribulation?

Bai Qiuyan lightly landed beside the tiger. Brother Tiger remained lazily sprawled on the ground, his tail occasionally swishing against the earth in an attempt to release his frustration. In a buzzing voice, he said, “Who is it this time?”

Bai Qiuyan smiled on the surface, but there was a hint of shock in his eyes. “This time, it’s probably Gu Alchemist. It seems that Gu Alchemist has extraordinary talent. As for humans, there are always a few who stand out. Even among our demon cultivators, those with strong bloodlines may not necessarily compare. Out of these few, two of them are ones that we demons would fear.”

There was no need to mention Chi Changye; even now, late-stage Golden Core demon cultivators might not be able to defeat him. Bai Qiuyan had seen with her own eyes as Chi Changye beat Brother Tiger, then advanced to the middle stage of Golden Core. However, compared to his combat skills, Bai Qiuyan believed that what truly made them fear him was his sharp swordsmanship.
