Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 157: He's here

In this world, transcending the celestial tribulation is impossible!

This sentence echoed in Luo Wusheng’s mind like thunder.

He had always felt that cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Realm were the most awkward existence in this world.

Originally, each of them had extraordinary talent and could almost reach the level of immortality with a little effort, becoming a Land Immortal. However, due to the terrifying celestial tribulation, a slight mistake could lead to death, forcing them to seclude themselves and find ways to deal with the celestial tribulation while accumulating cultivation. They lived as if dead, resulting in the world now being dominated by those at the Nascent Soul stage.

But Luo Wusheng had never thought that this group of cultivators, who had reached the pinnacle of the mortal world, had been forced into such a predicament.

Only when the first person ascended to immortality could the others have a chance to break through the realm, escape the endless celestial tribulation, and achieve immortality…

Thinking back to the demon fox’s response just now, many answers were already evident.

Even though cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Realm secluded themselves, they definitely had means to influence the mortal world.

After knowing this hidden truth, what would these cultivators who couldn’t achieve immortality do?

‘Invest… make the first true immortal appear in the world…’

Then they could ride on the glory of that chosen one and become the second batch of immortals.

And such a chosen one must have extraordinary talent and have paved a path with a high possibility of achieving immortality.

For example, the almost invincible former emperor of the Immortal Nation and his method of achieving immortality by suppressing the demon empress to gather the aura of the human race.

In the current situation, they probably chose the latter option, which best suited their interests.

There might be some opposition from the demon cultivators who are on the side of the demon empress, but in the end, they will probably have to reluctantly give in. Even those demon cultivators who made the choice not only witnessed everything but also played a role in facilitating and possibly making deals with the former emperor of the Immortal Nation.

Afterwards, a new leader emerged among the demon race, and while the demon empress could plan her escape by taking on an avatar, there might have been some disagreements among the demon cultivators during the tribulation, each having their own calculations.

Luo Wusheng instantly figured out the critical issues he couldn’t find in the known original content.

He didn’t expect such a setting in this world… Is that old author trying to create some harem for Little Yuli with these strange settings?

But on second thought, those demon cultivators really had poor judgment to support the former emperor of the Immortal Nation, who had just started and left halfway.

If such support had been given to the true protagonist, according to the upgrade speed of Little Yuli in the original work, after a few more years, she might have been able to transform into a Land Immortal…

Luo Wusheng’s thoughts kept flowing, suddenly feeling like he had a faint idea but couldn’t quite grasp that spark of inspiration.

His brows furrowed more and more.

At this moment, a clear sound of a qin resonated, shaking his mind, and his eyes regained clarity.

Looking up, he saw that the seven-stringed ancient qin had appeared in the demon empress’s arms at some point, and her delicate jade fingers lightly pressed on the strings.

“Young master, your heart has fallen into confusion.”

The demon empress’s eyes looked quietly at Luo Wusheng, her tone gentle and ethereal. “Although the young master has extraordinary talent, the gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Tribulation Crossing Realm is still quite substantial. Overthinking at this moment is not a good thing.”

This was one of the reasons she only revealed this secret but didn’t go into details.

Knowing too much often led to more confusion, and if it resulted in frustration, it could easily lead cultivators to develop inner demons, eventually leading to madness.

Understanding this, Luo Wusheng suppressed the thoughts in his mind, smiled bitterly, and nodded, “I understand…”

He was about to express his gratitude to the girl in front of him when his expression suddenly froze.

In that instant, the surveillance footage of various rooms in his mind paused, freezing on one frame.

The content of the frame caused intense tremors in Luo Wusheng’s pupils.

But before he could react more, all the screens went dark as if they had all suddenly lost power, disappearing.

And in the next moment…

Boom!

A thunderous sound from the sky.

…

What’s going on? Wasn’t the weather pretty good today? Why did thunder suddenly sound?

Such doubts arose in the minds of those who heard the thunder.

But the bodies of the various martial artists sitting on the first floor of the inn trembled slightly at the same time, looking towards the direction of the inn’s entrance.

The inn’s attendants were puzzled about what they were looking at and also turned to see.

However, the attendants completely failed to find anything special.

Looking back at those martial artists, they found the same puzzled expression on their faces, exchanging glances with each other.

“…Could it really just be a normal weather change?”

A member of the martial artist group spoke in confusion.

“Perhaps it’s some senior expert who happened to be practicing lightning techniques nearby…”

Another possibility was suggested, but the faces of these disciples in green robes remained uncertain.

Given the previous weather conditions, the probability of unexplained thunder was almost nonexistent.

And the fact that someone was practicing lightning techniques… What kind of place was the royal city? Wasn’t there a risk of Six Gate Bureau investigating such influential practices here?

Just then, among them, someone suddenly emitted a wave of spiritual power.

Everyone looked in that direction, and they saw a young man from the Martial Alliance who looked a bit chubby. He was holding a pair of chopsticks that were slowly slipping from his hand, and his face seemed somewhat dazed.

“These fish… the spiritual essence accumulated in their meat…”

His voice trembled.

After the spiritual power disturbance, his cultivation had broken through from the late Qi refining stage to the peak of Qi refining.

This was undoubtedly a great thing, but he had originally just subconsciously wanted to eat something to calm his nerves…

Before the other Martial Alliance disciples could fully understand the significance of what had just happened, they heard another commotion.

The chopsticks that had slipped during the chubby guy’s breakthrough inexplicably rolled quite far and happened to end up under the feet of an inn’s employee who had intended to come over to see what was happening.

The employee slipped on the chopsticks, trying to maintain balance and frantically adjusting his movements… Somehow, he lost grip of the handkerchief in his hand, and it flew straight toward one of the Martial Alliance disciples.

Although the Martial Alliance disciple was unprepared, he was quick to react as a cultivator. He tried to block the incoming handkerchief with his spiritual power.

But by a stroke of bad luck, a hidden problem he had in his body from past cultivation suddenly flared up, blocking his spiritual power and causing confusion.

In the end, the handkerchief landed squarely on his head, and his disrupted spiritual power ended up shaking the wooden chair he was sitting on.

A regular wooden chair couldn’t withstand the infusion of spiritual power and instantly broke.

Several Martial Alliance disciples sitting on the chair were still in shock and hadn’t reacted at all, all collapsing to the ground.

At this moment, enlightenment dawned on the faces of the Martial Alliance members.

“Xiao Zhu… is here.”

The eldest senior brother with a weathered face looked up at the sky and uttered a voice even more weathered than his appearance.
