Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 15

As she spoke, Mu Chenxi extended her slender, jade-like fingers, intending to personally touch and investigate.

“Wait!”

Bai Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She rushed forward in a flash and quickly grabbed Mu Chenxi’s wrist. “Don’t touch it recklessly! There might be a dangerous Restriction!”

“…Alright.”

Mu Chenxi felt the warmth on her wrist and realized she had indeed been a bit impulsive, so she obediently withdrew her hand.

Bai Yue took one last look at the Tombstone, then finally averted her gaze.

This was someone’s beloved wife’s Tombstone, with a devoted predecessor guarding it nearby. How could she dare to mess with it?

Since they decided not to investigate the Tombstone’s secret any further, the master and Disciple refocused on their main task.

The Spiritual Qi here was abundant, and the place could isolate inside from outside-truly an excellent location for Forming the Nascent Soul.

But Bai Yue was always cautious. After pondering for a moment, she turned to Mu Chenxi.

“Chenxi, I will go outside the Secret Realm first.”

“You stay here and unleash a powerful Sword Technique to simulate the commotion when the Heavenly Tribulation descends. I want to see how effective the Secret Realm’s isolation really is.”

“Alright,” Mu Chenxi nodded in agreement.

Bai Yue immediately turned and passed through the invisible entrance, returning to the desolate valley outside.

Inside the Secret Realm, Mu Chenxi took a deep breath and formed a sword with her fingers.

She didn’t use her full strength, but the Sword Formula she activated was enough to change the color of heaven and earth.

A dazzling sword light shot into the sky, exploding in the Secret Realm’s heavens and stirring up a violent Spiritual Qi storm.

Outside the Secret Realm, Bai Yue focused her senses, only to find the surroundings utterly silent.

She waited for a while, but not even a hint of Spiritual Qi fluctuation or a single sound escaped.

Her heart settled, and she immediately returned to the Secret Realm.

“It works! There’s no sign of anything outside!”

With Bai Yue’s confirmation, Mu Chenxi had no more worries.

She flew above the Flower Sea, sat cross-legged in the air, and closed her eyes to adjust herself to peak condition.

“Master, your Disciple is about to begin.”

Bai Yue retreated to the front of the wooden hut, her heart leaping to her throat as she nervously nodded.

Mu Chenxi closed her eyes and completely released the suppression on her Golden Core peak cultivation.

In an instant, the sky of the Secret Realm changed dramatically.

The once clear sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning oppressively black as vast Tribulation Clouds gathered from the void.

The Tribulation Clouds churned, with purple Lightning snakes frantically darting within.

A destructive pressure enveloped the entire Flower Sea.

Mu Chenxi slowly opened her eyes and floated into midair.

She did not take out any treasures or Formations, not even her sword.

She was going to face the Thunder Tribulation with only her Physical Body and Sword Aura.

Only by undergoing this purest, most primal baptism

could her Dao Foundation become stronger, and her future path stretch farther.

Tribulation Lightning Tempering!

“Boom!”

The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning tore through the clouds and struck down violently.

Mu Chenxi neither dodged nor avoided, letting the Lightning pierce straight through her body.

Suspended in the air, her delicate figure trembled violently, letting out a muffled groan, but her gaze remained resolute.

Immediately after, the second, third… up to the ninth Heavenly Lightning, each thicker and more violent than the last.

Mu Chenxi’s talent was terrifying, her will as firm as rock.

Even as the lightning grew stronger, she chose to withstand it all head-on.

Strangely, despite the terrifying Heavenly Lightning, aside from striking her precisely, not a single flower or blade of grass in the Secret Realm was harmed.

Standing atop the Flower Sea, Bai Yue was also completely unaffected, protected by the Secret Realm’s invisible power.

Bai Yue watched from nearby, her heart twisted in anxiety, her nails digging deep into her palm.
When the seventh bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Mu Chenxi could no longer endure it. She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her internal organs all shaken and injured.

The eighth bolt followed closely behind. Her consciousness began to blur, and her figure wavered precariously in midair.

At the center of the Tribulation Clouds, the final and most terrifying bolt of heavenly lightning was brewing, its power utterly dreadful.

Even Bai Yue, who was not directly facing the Thunder Tribulation below, felt a surge of fear in her heart.

On the edge of fading consciousness, Mu Chenxi’s gaze pierced through the lightning, landing on Bai Yue, who stood on the ground with a face full of worry.

Just that single glance caused her Sword Dao cultivation to surge once more.

The Supreme Emotionless Sword Art began to operate on its own at that moment.

She forcibly steadied her form, and a torrent of Sword Aura burst forth from within her. The Sword Aura flowed and automatically formed a protective shield around her.

The ninth pillar of lightning crashed down!

The Sword Aura shield shattered instantly, but it still managed to block the fatal blow for her.

Even so, her clothes were left tattered and ruined, her body covered in charred and torn wounds. Yet she continued to tremble, sitting cross-legged and suspended in the air.

Gritting her silver teeth, she resisted the lingering force of the Thunder Tribulation and completed the final step of Forming the Nascent Soul.

Within her Dantian, the Golden Core shattered, and a brand new life form began to coalesce.

She took a deep breath, and from the center of her brow, a ball of light slowly floated out.

As the light faded, a chubby, adorable little blue-haired girl, sculpted like jade, appeared.

The Nascent Soul, with its short arms and legs, tiny and wobbly, flew straight into Bai Yue’s embrace.

“Master, I did it.”

She spoke in a childish voice, her face brimming with joy.

Bai Yue looked at her, worry in her pink eyes outweighing her happiness, and urged anxiously, “Quick! Hurry back into your body, your injuries are too severe!”

“Okay.”

The little Nascent Soul obediently responded, transformed into a stream of light, and re-entered the battered body lying in the Flower Sea.

The moment her consciousness returned, Mu Chenxi drew a sharp breath.

Her body was gravely wounded.

Agonizing pain radiated from every inch of her body; Mu Chenxi couldn’t even muster the strength to move a finger.

Bai Yue dashed to her side, her pink eyes filled with distress as she gazed at the body covered in charred and torn wounds.

She bent down, speaking urgently, “Chenxi, where are the Healing Pills in your Storage Bag? I’ll help you take them.”

Mu Chenxi replied weakly, “The green porcelain bottle inside.”

Bai Yue immediately retrieved a small green jade bottle from Mu Chenxi’s Storage Bag, poured out several Healing Pills, and carefully fed them to her Disciple.

The pills melted instantly in her mouth, beginning to repair her internal injuries, but the terrifying external wounds still needed attention.

Seeing the tattered remnants of clothing on her Disciple, Bai Yue set aside any embarrassment.

She gently removed all the remaining scraps of cloth.

“Chenxi, do you have medicine for external injuries?” Bai Yue asked hurriedly.

“Yes, the red porcelain bottle,” Mu Chenxi replied, her voice still weak.

Following Mu Chenxi’s guidance, Bai Yue took out a bottle of Healing Liquid.

She dipped her fingertip into the cool liquid and carefully applied it, inch by inch, to each dreadful wound.

Her movements were gentle and focused, afraid of causing Mu Chenxi any pain.

Once she finished applying the Healing Liquid, she took a white long dress from Mu Chenxi’s Storage Bag and carefully dressed her.

After all was done, she wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

“Whew…”

Holding Mu Chenxi’s soft body in her arms, Bai Yue let out a long breath.
