2294 Duan Ling Tian!

"Time flies. A thousand years is coming to an end soon, marking the coming of my fourth Heavenly Tribulation... If I continue to stay here, I'm not confident I'll be able to pass the fourth Heavenly Tribulation!" The grey-clad old man explained with a sigh when he heard the reluctance in the voice of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan.

"Currently, that brat from the Wandering Saint Palace is undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and will soon become an Eminent Celestial... This is the perfect opportunity for me to leave. With both of you watching over the Human-Devil Clan, I can leave in peace."

The old man actually referred to Yuwen Hao Chen who was soon becoming an Eminent Celestial as a brat! If someone else was around, they might be stunned speechless by these words. However, the expression of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan did not change at all. After all, he did not think it was inappropriate for the old man to refer to Yuwen Hao Chen as a brat.

"You're right, master... It's almost time for your fourth Heavenly Tribulation." The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan nodded. However, he still looked reluctant to part with the old man. After a while, he asked, "When do you plan to leave, master?"

"After that brat passes his Celestial Ascension Tribulation and becomes an Eminent Celestial, I'll talk to him before I leave," the old man replied.

The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan nodded as he said, "If that's the case, I'll accompany you to the Wandering Saint Palace after he passes the tribulation."

"No. Let's go over now... The Tribulation Clouds have been brewing for a while now. The first lightning bolt would strike in about thirty minutes! It's been a long time since I saw the Wandering Saint Palace's secret technique to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation." As soon as the old man finished speaking, his entire being shimmered before he transformed into a grey fog again that drifted quickly up into the sky. The dense grey mist was clearly making its way to the Wandering Saint Palace.

Whoosh!

Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan also flew up into the air and headed to the 'Wandering Saint Palace.

"Master, I've heard about the Wandering Saint Palace's secret technique to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation... However, is it true that only the Palace Master of each generation is able to use that technique?" The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan asked respectfully with a reverent look at the grey fog ahead of him.

A hoarse voice that clearly belonged to the old man came from the grey fog. "Yes, the inherited technique can only be used once in a long while. Therefore, only the Palace Masters are given the priority to use this technique!"

Based on the old man's words, it was clear he had some knowledge about the Wandering Saint Palace's inherited technique to successfully overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

"Ah, that makes sense." Realization dawned on the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan as he continued to follow his master who had transformed into a grey fog.

Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, the dense grey fog had arrived at the sky above the Wandering Saint Palace. To be exact, it had arrived above Yuwen Hao Chen's mansion.

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and above the dark clouds, colorful and radiant lights could be seen from the auspicious clouds.

On the other hand, purple lightning bolts flashed intermittently from the dark clouds like violet snakes. These dark clouds are the Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!

Swoosh!

A gust of strong wind blew past before the grey fog solidified again into the figure of a man.

At this time, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan finally arrived. He obediently stood by the old man's side as they watched the scene unfold before them.

Under the colorful auspicious clouds and the Tribulation Clouds that were flashing with purple bolts of lightning was Yuwen Hao Chen's mansion.

Currently, the surroundings of the mansion were bustling. It had been like this for quite some time now. The atmosphere only became more and more bustling as time passed since more elders and disciples had arrived as well. In the end, it was as busy and crowded as a market.

"Hasn't it started yet?"

"The Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation seem to still be brewing... I wonder when it'll begin?"

"I can't wait to see Lord Palace Master show off his might and easily pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation."

"Me too."

Almost all the elders and disciples of Wandering Saint Palace had gathered at Yuwen Hao Chen's mansion. All of them wanted to witness their Palace Master successfully overcoming the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After all, this was an extremely rare occurrence. If they missed this chance, who knew when they would be able to witness such a thing again?

"I've read about the Celestial Ascension Tribulation in an ancient book... It said that the Tribulation Clouds would brew for about an hour."

"An hour? Only thirty minutes have passed..."

"So this means the Celestial Ascension Tribulation will begin in 30 minutes?"

"That should be the case."

Among the group of onlookers, there were some knowledgeable elders and disciples who knew about the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. When people found out the Celestial Ascension Tribulation would begin in 30 minutes, they became even more excited.

In front of a door of the mansion.

Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, was standing there expressionlessly.

Standing nearby was his great disciple, Yun Fu Ye, one of the Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace. At this moment, he was reporting everything he had discovered about Duan Ling Tian, their newly appointed Vice Palace Master, to Yuwen Hao Chen.

"The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?" When Yuwen Hao Chen heard about this, his face was no longer expressionless. In fact, his brows were raised in surprise. He looked at Yun Fu Ye and asked, "Where's he now?"

"He's in closed-door cultivation and hasn't come out of his mansion. Even if he has come out, there's no way he can escape. There's you in the palace, and there's Palace Master Shi Nan Feng preventing him from escaping!" Yun Fu Ye replied.

Yuwen Hao Chen nodded. "Hmm... I'll deal with this matter after I've overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation... I have to prepare for it now. The Celestial Ascension Tribulation will begin in fifteen minutes. At that time, the first bolt of lightning will strike!" As soon as he finished speaking, he flew into the sky without waiting for Yun Fu Ye to reply. He was currently hovering in the air underneath the Tribulation Clouds.

At this time, the clouds were still converging from all directions above Yuwen Hao Chen. As the clouds grew denser, the bolts of lightning also grew in size.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder rang in the air as the Tribulation Clouds continued to brew.

At this time, the commotion in the mansion's surroundings had roused Huang Wen Jing from her closed-door cultivation. She had left instantly and appeared next to Yun Fu Ye. "Great Senior Brother, has master's Heavenly Tribulation started?"

Yun Fu Ye stared at the sky where a lone figure could be seen hovering underneath the Tribulation Clouds. When he heard Huang Wen ling's familiar voice, he turned to look at her with a smile on his face. "Little Junior Sister. Yes, the Celestial Ascension Tribulation is about to begin. In a few more days, we'll have a second Eminent Celestial in the Human-Devil clan," he said excitedly. His master was about to become an Eminent Celestial after all. How could he not feel excited?

Huang Wen ling's eyes were also filled with admiration and excitement as she gazed at her master's figure in the sky. "Master!" Her master was going to become an Eminent Celestial soon. As his last disciple, she knew her master had waited a long time for this day to come. He would finally realize his dreams. For this reason, she was delighted on her master's behalf.

However, Huang Wen Jing's thoughts suddenly veered in a different direction as a purple figure appeared in her mind. 'Master's about to undergo his tribulation... This means when master becomes an Eminent Celestial in a few days, he would also deal with that person's matter, right?'

As soon as the purple figure appeared in Huang Wen Jing's mind, it would not leave no matter what. She could not stop thinking about him. Suddenly...

"Duan Ling Tian!" Yun Fu Ye's voice thundered in Huang Wen Jing's ears. Based on how loud he had shouted, it was clear he had seen someone he hated very much!
