Chapter 1903: Kong Shiyao Assaults the Ancient Saint Realm (Part 1)

"Ahem, Teacher Zhang, get to the point!"

Yan Qing, the Ancient Saint, could no longer bear it.

The Ancient Saint tribulation was the greatest calamity for cultivators, equivalent to transcending the Heavenly Dao. Unless one was an unparalleled genius, even with sufficient Ancient Saint power, breaking through was impossible.

Kong Shiyao could make the attempt because of the resource quotas allocated by the major families. As a descendant of Teacher Kong, the Kong family had more abundant resources, including a trace of Ancient Saint power that other families had long since exhausted.

Even so, every assault left her battered and on the verge of death. Yet this fellow actually said... to treat the calamity like a pet, to cherish and nurture it...

Can't he just talk normally?

This is too absurd, too outrageous!

"What I said is the point!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan looked at the rolling dark clouds in the sky and grabbed at the air.

A bolt of lightning was immediately torn down and landed in his palm.

Crackle! Crackle!

Caught by him, the thunderbolt struggled incessantly, trying to escape but failing.

Zhang Xuan smiled gently: "Be good! Stop struggling. We're all good friends, don't run away..."

His voice was tender, as if kindly treating a pet.

The struggling lightning, faced with his attitude, hesitated for a moment, then stopped struggling, slowly lay down, merged into his skin, and entered his body.

Kong Shiyao and the others all stared wide-eyed.

This... is it really possible?

Isn't this too childish?

"Just like this. You need to have love, preferably without resistance. Absorb the thunder and heavenly fire into your body, gain their trust, and only then can you make them obedient..."

With a flick of his hand, the lightning appeared in his palm again. Zhang Xuan stroked it with his other hand, as if petting a cat lying on his arm.

The others couldn't bear to watch, yet they all showed expressions of doubt.

Could the Ancient Saint tribulation really be overcome this way?

If so, why had no one dared to do this in tens of thousands of years?

"The calamity is so powerful from the start; who would dare treat it like a pet? Rest assured, trust me, I won't be wrong! In a moment, when you attract the Ancient Saint tribulation, directly open all your acupoints, devour and absorb it. Never resist! You must feel it with your heart... Do these things, and I can guarantee that this tribulation will be successfully overcome!"

Seeing their thoughts, Zhang Xuan explained.

"..." Kong Shiyao remained hesitant.

It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but his words were simply too absurd...

"What, don't you believe me, or lack confidence in yourself? If you think you can't get through the fourth heavenly tribulation, then forget it..."

Waving his hand, Zhang Xuan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment: "Teacher Kong has always been my idol. I thought his descendant would be as brave and fearless as he was, but I didn't expect such cowardice..."

"No need for provocation!" Kong Shiyao snorted. "At worst, I'll die. The descendants of the Kong family have never been afraid! Alright, just tell me what I should do!"

Seeing her agree, Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction and quickly repeated his method, the same as before.

After attracting the Ancient Saint tribulation, do not resist; guide it into the acupoints and meridians, feel it with your heart, nurture it with love...

Kong Shiyao's scalp tingled.

Although she felt this was too absurd and might get her struck dead on the spot, she finally gritted her teeth: "I'll try!"

With that, ignoring the劝阻 of Yan Qing and the others, her delicate body flickered and she flew straight into the sky, in the blink of an eye arriving above Tianxuan Kingdom.

"Not here. Find a secluded place!"

Knowing that her attracting the Ancient Saint tribulation could easily destroy this ancient land, Zhang Xuan quickly said.

Kong Shiyao's body flickered, and after a few breaths, she was far from Tianxuan Royal City, arriving at a desolate mountain range.

Zhang Xuan and the others stood dozens of kilometers away, watching from afar.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, Kong Shiyao raised her power to its peak, her true qi bursting forth like boiling water, emitting a sound like muffled thunder.

As her aura intensified, it immediately caught the attention of the Heavenly Dao of the Master Teacher Continent. Dark clouds rolled, and the lightning that had gathered at the entrance of the Kunxu Realm all converged, as if ready to tear her apart at any moment.

"This..."

Seeing the dark clouds grow denser and larger, feeling a sense of losing control, Yan Qing could no longer hold back and looked over: "Teacher Zhang, can such powerful lightning really be tamed and nurtured with love?"

"Of course not!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"Not?"

The others swayed, almost falling.

Didn't he just say it so well?

Why the sudden change?

"The Ancient Saint tribulation is the Heavenly Dao's punishment for cultivators. One is a destroyer, the other an enforcer. Taming it... how is that possible? Nurturing with love, feeling with the heart... I just made it all up!" Zhang Xuan said.

"Made it up... But you told Kong Shiyao not to resist. If it's false, she'll die..."

Yan Qing nearly exploded.

There should be limits to joking!

Kong Shiyao, the only descendant of Teacher Kong with a bloodline purity exceeding 'eight'. If she dies, how can we face our ancestors?

"Don't worry, let's watch first!"

Blocking the others who were about to rush over and save Kong Shiyao, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

At that moment, the girl had accumulated enough power. The thunder and calamity in the sky, unable to bear the pressure, struck straight down.

Crack!

Thunder mixed with heavenly fire descended from the sky, instantly enveloping an area of several hundred meters.

"If he can do it, why can't I?"

Kong Shiyao's muscles tensed, her true qi ready to burst out to resist, but in the end, she forced it down.

If she resisted, even if she didn't die, she would surely be mocked by that guy...

Thinking of his smug face, she couldn't help but get angry... As a descendant of Teacher Kong, she would rather die than lose face!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavenly fire and thunder fell upon her. The others, terrified, quickly covered their eyes, fearing the next moment the girl would be torn into pieces!

But after waiting for a while, they didn't see that happen. They couldn't help but look, and what they saw left them stunned.

The girl, with all her acupoints open and offering no resistance to the Ancient Saint tribulation, now stood amidst the thunder as if bathing.

Heavenly fire and lightning poured into her body, neither exploding nor destroying. It was as if nothing had happened, flowing quietly through her bloodline.

As if tamed, obedient and quiet.

What... happened?

Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, staring at the young man before them in disbelief.

What they thought were deceptive words turned out to be true, beyond their imagination.

If this really works, could I also give it a try?

Yan Xue was itching to act.

"Teacher Zhang..."

Yan Qing could no longer hold back and asked, "What... is going on?"
