Deep underground, in Demon Monarch Nirvana’s laboratory, a huge open space greeted everyone.

However, the underground laboratory was in a ‘semi-abandoned’ state; the equipment inside looked rather old and seemed not to have been used for a long time.

With the development of science and technology, the underground was also continuously explored. Sooner or later, even this laboratory that was deep underground would be noticed by ordinary people. Therefore, Demon Monarch Nirvana had already begun to gradually transfer somewhere else his underground labs and equipment.

“Fellow daoists who are good with formations, please help me rearrange the defensive formations of this laboratory,” Demon Monarch Nirvana said.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, True Monarch Yellow Mountain, and True Monarch Eternal Fire, who were proficient in defensive formations, nodded and said, “Leave it to us.”

Demon Monarch Nirvana then asked, “Little friend Shuhang, what’s the level of the explosive power of the guided missiles?”

“The power of the guided missiles from the mutated heavenly tribulation is at the Seventh+ Stage. They are a combination of modern missile technology and the power of the heavenly tribulation.” Song Shuhang repeated the information he had obtained regarding the power of the guided missiles through his ‘secret appraisal technique’.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue spoke, “Power greater than the Seventh Stage? If that’s the case, Fellow Daoist Yellow Mountain, Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire, Fellow Daoist Fallout, and Fellow Daoist Ancient Lake Temple, please help me while I draw up a complete Seventh Stage defensive formation that can block the power of the Seventh Stage guided missiles.”

Venerable Spirit Butterfly said, “I and a few of the other fellow daoists will set up two extra sets of defensive formations just in case.”

The fellow daoists had already witnessed the power of the guided missiles through the ‘show of divinity’—it definitely couldn’t be underestimated. As such, in addition to the main defensive formation that Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had requested to be arranged, another two extra defensive formations were prepared just in case. Once the first defensive formation was no longer able to handle the power of the guided missiles, the second and third could be activated quickly.

With the cooperation of several Sixth Stage True Monarchs, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly were able to quickly draw up the defensive formation runes in the underground laboratory.

The fellow daoists who weren’t good at handling formations stood in some kind of formation as they poured their spiritual energy into the formation.

While the fellow daoists were busy preparing the formations, Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist finally arrived, holding hands.

❄️❄️❄️

Soon, the three defensive formations were complete.

“The rest is up to you, little friend Shuhang. Start your performance,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said.

Song Shuhang responded, “Senior, I’m just a porter. By the way, where do I place the guided missiles?”

Demon Monarch Nirvana replied, “Just put them right at the center of the formation, and then we can study them together.”

“Alright.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and a ripple appeared right beside him. Then, a single guided missile slowly materialized in the air.

As soon as the guided missile appeared, it brought with it the pressure of the ‘heavenly tribulation’, which spread all around.

Besides Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly, who could adapt to such pressure, the other fellow daoists were affected by the pressure of the heavenly tribulation and felt uncomfortable all over their bodies.

They’d all witnessed the ‘show of divinity’ where Venerable White had faced a bombardment of such guided missiles, but it was now clear to them that the pressure they’d got from seeing the guided missiles through the ‘show of divinity’ was vastly different from the actual pressure that the guided missiles would exude when they were right in front of them.

“So cool,” Soft Feather said softly.

Su Clan’s Sixteen, who was right beside her, muttered, “Hm?”

“Senior Song looks really cool right now.” Soft Feather gave Su Clan’s Sixteen a big thumbs up, and said, “A real man never turns to look back at an explosion, even if there was a missile right behind him headed right for his head.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”

Perhaps it really was a cool scene, but after Soft Feather pointed it out in such a way, the style changed completely.

Thrice Reckless Mas Saber couldn’t help but say, “If the guided missile

were to explode just as Soft Feather said, then it would really be a godly death-seeking move.”

“Thrice Reckless…” The corners of Northern River’s mouth twitched. “I keep on getting the feeling that you are getting worse and worse after you changed your name to ‘Frice Recklee’, with your thoughts becoming more and more dangerous.”

While he was speaking, Song Shuhang brought out the guided missile from his Inner World.

Song Shuhang should have been able to bring the guided missile out of his Inner World with a single thought, but due to it being too dangerous, he paid more attention when bringing it out.

Moreover, although the missile had already been modified, it was still, in essence, a part of the heavenly tribulation. Song Shuhang was worried that the appearance of the guided missile could draw out the heavenly tribulation of the other cultivators.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly were both at the verge of having to transcend their tribulations.

Fortunately, after the guided missiles appeared, neither Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s nor Senior Spirit Butterfly’s tribulation was triggered.

❄️❄️❄️

The total length of the guided missile was about seven meters. There was an exquisite seal placed on it, courtesy of Venerable White.

“The sealing technique that Fellow Daoist White used is quite advanced.” Venerable Spirit Butterfly looked at the seal and sighed. “With a sealing technique like this, heavenly tribulations of the Seventh Stage and below would hardly pose any threat.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Senior Spirit Butterfly, Senior Nirvana, do you need me to undo the seal for you?”

Then, he reminded, “Also, Seniors, the guided missile is still essentially part of heavenly tribulation. You are both about to face your heavenly tribulation, so will it really be fine to unseal it?”

“Don’t worry about it,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly both said.

Both of them had their means.

Demon Monarch Nirvana asked, “After the seal is undone, is it going to explode right away?”

Song Shuhang replied, “It should… After all, Venerable White sealed them right when they were about to explode. So, once the seal is undone, they should explode immediately.”

Demon Monarch Nirvana said, “Good, let’s try to detonate one.”

There were three missiles in total for them to research. The first was to be used to test the power of the explosion.

Except for Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly, the other fellow daoists retreated and stood outside the layer of defensive formations. The two Venerables wanted to experience the power of the explosion first hand.

Song Shuhang asked, “Ready?”

With a slight smile on his face, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Go ahead, little friend Shuhang.”

Song Shuhang nodded and began unsealing the guided missiles according to Senior White’s instructions.

Then, he shouted, “Open!”

In the following moment, the seal on the guided missile instantly disappeared.

As soon as the seal was removed, the guided missile entered the process of detonation.

“Boom!!!”

The might of the heavenly tribulation exploded, among it were the power of the lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth of tribulation.

As Venerable Spirit Butterfly’s fingers moved, butterflies appeared and danced beside him, but if one were to look closely, they would find that the butterflies were different from ordinary ones. Although their fluttering wings were still that of butterflies, some of them had the bodies of dragons, while others had bodies of phoenixes… the bodies of various kinds of mythical immortal beasts could be found among them.

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had a dignified face, and as his right hand gripped the air, with his saber intent transforming into a huge phoenix.

“Buzzzzzz~”

After the loud sound, the explosion that the various fellow daoists expected didn’t appear. When the guided missile exploded, its power suddenly dissipated.

In the end, it transformed into extremely pure spiritual energy that permeated the entire underground laboratory.

The first to get hit by the pure spiritual energy, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, only felt a shock to his mind. He could sense that both his physical body and mental energy were slightly strengthened. Still, cultivators at Venerable Spirit Butterfly’s realm could acutely sense such minute changes. He felt that he was a little stronger than he had been just a moment ago.

The same occurred for Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, who was right beside him. Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s physical body and mental energy had been strengthened, which made his body feel comfortable.

The two Venerables looked puzzled.

Fairy Lychee curiously said, “How could this happen? In the ‘show of divinity’, we clearly saw that after the guided missile exploded, it released frightening power.”

“Could it be that this guided missile was just a dud or something?”

“These guided missiles made of heavenly tribulation aren’t really ‘missiles’. Moreover, that thing clearly exploded just now.”

The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group also looked confused.

They all worked so hard to set up defensive formations, but in the end, the guided missile was no different from a firework?

At this moment, Loli Shi suddenly tilted her head.

Then, she cried out, “Ah!”

Fairy Dongfang Six, who was right beside her, asked, “What’s the matter?”

Right when she said that, Loli Shi suddenly spread her hands. The five apertures in her body opened, and all her qi and blood energy linked.

The Ear, Nose, Mouth, and Eye Apertures connected to the Heart Aperture, gathering momentum to jump through the dragon gate.

It was the bottleneck for the ascension from the first to the Second Stage.

After jumping through the dragon gate, one’s qi and blood energy would change from immaterial to material, from illusory to real, becoming true qi. That was the Second Stage Realm!

“This little one is breaking through right here,” Fairy Lychee said while smiling.

At this moment, Venerable Spirit Butterfly said, “It should be due to the spiritual energy that was produced from the explosion of the guided missile just now. That spiritual energy can strengthen the mental energy and body of a cultivator. It was the perfect chance for this little one.”

Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue looked at the scene of the explosion, deep in thought.

Just as Venerable Spirit Butterfly said that, Shi issued a long cry.

Her qi and blood energy condensed, changing from illusory to real, and true qi then appeared in her original dantian.

“Such a casual breakthrough?” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said with shock. It seemed that Fairy Lychee’s junior was also a genius.

“Shi wasn’t far from ‘jumping through the dragon gate’. Although she couldn’t eat much due to her strength, when the power of Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s immortal dish was added to the pure spiritual energy she got from the explosion, it’s quite normal that she easily jumped through the dragon gate,” Fairy Lychee said with a smile.

It was a very joyous matter to see the breakthrough of the juniors within the sect.

“She just ate an immortal dish prepared by Immortal Fairy Bie Xue? When?” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was confused.

“Back at my place,” Song Shuhang said. “I asked the seniors several times if they wanted to have some dinner, but you all refused.”

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “…”
