Chapter 560: Chapter 560

The laughter at the scene of Tan Shenyu being punished by the heavens was a sight to behold. Moreover, it was witnessed by his daughter, Tan Bingyu and future son-in-law, Xue Renxue, who had just arrived at the scene and saw him giving a middle finger towards the tribulation thunder and getting hit by the lightning. Since this cannot be considered a real tribulation trial, this lightning didn’t kill Tan Shenyu but embarrassed him instead.

Tan Bingyu covered her face as if feeling the second degree embarrassment from her father’s antics. While Baimei, this Snow Leopard Spirit Beast and her dao companion, Xue Renxue were dumbfounded.

{A’Bing, is this truly your father?} Baimei asked.

Pfft! This is Xue Renxue trying to hold back his laughter.

Tan Bingyu pinched her lover’s back and responded to Baimei.

"I inherited my personality from my mom." Though this answer seems a bit out of the picture, Tan Bingyu didn’t deny her father and daughter relationship with Tan Shenyu.

Xue Renxue on the other hand is now bearing the pain coming from his back but didn’t dare to struggle as it’s a punishment from his wife.

The three of them watched the rain of lava that was still falling from the sky. Xue Renxue didn’t mind it much as he had half fire constitution. But Tan Bingyu is pure ice and this kind of place which is full of fire makes her feel uncomfortable. Baimei, who is the same, was also feeling the same thing while watching the rain of lava.

Tan Bingyu asked, "Are we going in there?"

{Can I stay here instead?}

"Good idea. I will stay here with Baimei. A’Ren, you gave what Lord Shen wanted to pass to my father. We will wait for you here," Tan Bingyu said.

"I’m going in alone?"

The two nod their heads. Xue Renxue, who received a few books on cultivation, looked at his wife and spirit beast. Both were born with strong affinity with ice elements and fire elements makes them feel threatened. No wonder he was being asked to go in the range of the rain of lava alone.

"Then... I’m going now?" Xue Renxue said with great reluctance on his face even giving his dao companion a puppy eyes.

{Ren, I can smell the scent of Fire Phoenix Herb in this area. Those herbs were born in places with powerful fire elements. This place... seems to be transformed into one,} Baimei said.

Xue Renxue’s puppy eyes became worse and she became a crying puppy eye. However, the receiver of those eyes didn’t soften her heart at all.

Tan Bingyu said, "Get going. We will wait for you here!"

Xue Renxue with a depressed state walks towards the area where the rain of lava is currently falling looking so depressed. Tan Bingyu and Baimei watch his groggy figure walking as if heading towards his grave.

{Your dao companion is too clingy!} Baimei complained.

Tan Bingyu chuckled and said, "What can I do? That is his nature. It can’t be changed at all. It’s not like I can change the person himself. That will not be him anymore."

{Sigh~. It seems tiring to have a partner.} Baimei said.

Tan Bingyu said, "If you truly love the other, that would be called fatigue by your acceptance."

Baimei chose not to worry about something that she didn’t have yet and chose to change the topic of their conversation. After all, she is a lone snow leopard and hasn’t seen another one ever since waking up in this dungeon.

{What do you plan on your breakthrough? Are you going to do it here or outside?} Baimei asked.

Tan Bingyu was also interested in this and asked, "Where do you think is better?"

{It’s better to do it inside. At least the heavenly laws won’t be too heavy like the one outside. It wouldn’t want the hidden dungeon to be destroyed and offend those divinities. After all, even if they are merely soul wisps right now their strength is still enough to contend against the heavenly laws of such a small planet.}

Tan Bingyu commented, "So our world is truly small?"

{Of course. This is nothing but a resource star. So small that with your current populations it feels crowded right? Moreover, I don’t know what happened but only recently did the heavenly qi return to this star. However, it is still sparse enough that it prevents a Mahayama Realm from appearing in this world.} Baimei said.

Though this snow leopard spirit beast hasn’t left the dungeon, she can feel the changes outside that are affecting this place. The Goddess of Nature was so happy one day when the qi finally spread in this star. It was because of this that there are lots of treasures, Heavenly and Earthly treasure, that were born in this hall. This was all thanks to the revival of qi.

Tan Bingyu frowned. She knew that after Huashen Realm the next stage of cultivation is called Mahayama Realm. Her mistress is at Peak Huashen Realm. Is this the reason why her mistress is unable to break through to another realm, because the qi in this world are lacking?

She couldn’t help but ask, "If the qi in this world is too sparse, is there another way for one to break through to the Mahayama Realm?"

{There is... Just be like me. Eat a lot of things full of world qi. Herbs, spirit, beast meat, etc. If one can eat inanimate things then that’s better. I cannot eat non-living things though.} Baimei answered. {Are you worried about someone? Even though one cannot break through to the Mahayama Realm in this world, aren’t there Ancient Ruins? That thing is located not from this planet but a detached dimension from the other worlds beyond.}

Tan Bingyu asked, "You know about it? Have you been there?"

{Of course! The entrance to that dimension is random. But the God of Wisdom can calculate its time and coordinates. How do you think we can replenish the treasures in this dungeon.} Baimei said.

This seems to be a secret of this hidden dungeon, but not important enough as even Baimei was informed about it. It seems that all Huashen Realm beings in this dungeon had some connections here and there. Even though they were forbidden to come out to the Cultivation Realm, they still can go to a place greater than their planet.

While these two ladies of the different race pass their time with such kinds of conversations, Xue Renxue had finally found his future father-in-law.

In the range of the Lava Rain...

Xue Renxue borrowed his wife’s Umbrella artifact. It’s the ultimate hidden weapon of the Tang Clan from Tan Bingyu’s grandmother’s side. This Umbrella artifact had defensive abilities and Xue Renxue using it to fend off some fire elemental filled lava was not a problem.

However, the sight of him using this umbrella to protect themselves gave those other cultivators who weren’t fire attributed spirit root possessor an idea to be able to enter the land and pick some treasure. Those lava were full or fire ores as long as it solidified. This is a material enough to be considered rare and can be exchanged for points. It’s a good material for creating artifacts that are fire bases.

Tan Huangyu was the first one to notice this grandson-in-law of his and stop him from approaching Tan Shenyu who had once again entered meditation. This place is good for his son who is a pure fire spirit root unlike him who is both fire and wind.

"Ren’er, are you alone? Where is Bing’er?" Tan Huangyu asked.

Xue Renxue greeted his wife’s grandfather politely and responded, "Bing’er is waiting outside the range, Grandpa. This place is full of fire elements. She felt uncomfortable and didn’t enter with me."

"Indeed. For a pure ice spirit root like her, this place is dangerous. Did you come for something else?" The old grandfather Tan asked.

Xue Renxue passed the two books to the old man. One is a book about cultivating talismans and the other is fire control technique.

"This is from Lord Shen. He said to let father-in-law learn it. He must learn at least one talisman before meeting Lord Shen or... He will get punished by him. Grandpa, Bing’er and I are returning to the safe zone ahead of time. You two should prepare to come back soon too." Xue Renxue said.

Tan Huangyu agreed to his suggestion and glanced at his son who is about to finish his accumulation of fire elemental qi in his body.

"Alright. We will." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

"By the way, Grandpa, have you found a Fire Phoenix Herb in this place? I was told there is one in this area. I need a few for my breakthrough," Xue Renxue said.

Tan Huangyu who had been staying in this location for three days knew where those herbs are located and pointed to one of the largest crater filled with lava not too far from them.

He said, "Try in that biggest crater. I found some herbs which seem to be growing from that place. It hasn’t matured enough yesterday so I didn’t pick it up. It should be mature enough now."

"Thanks, Grandpa. I will be going now," said Xue Renxue who immediately head there to pick up the herb and return to his wife’s side as soon as possible.
