<h4>Chapter 1148: Senior Xian Gong, try crouching down while holding your head!</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>GodBrandy <strong>Editor: </strong>Kurisu
As he was saying hisst words, Schr Xian Gong did not forget to warn the fellow daoists of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.
He hurriedly said, “Before facing the nuclear bomb, I had gone through several weird waves of heavenly tribtion attacks. Lightning, fire, and metal all turned into F-22 raptors, and there were many other fighter jets that I couldn’t recognize. They flew above my head and carpet-bombed me, it was simply a nightmare... I still feel like I’m in a dream, as if I was transcending a fake heavenly tribtion. I hope I can quickly wake up from this nightmare. ”
“So, to the fellow daoists who are going to be transcending soon, please be wary of this.”
Schr Xian Gong said with a solemn voice, “Time is running out. The nuclear bomb above my head is about to take shape... I feel that this wave will be the end of me. Dear fellow daoists—the road of cultivation is endless, but it seems that I will get going first!”
At this time, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator also sent a voice message. “Schr, we’ve all known about the modernization of the heavenly tribtion since a few days ago. In addition, the strongest heavenly tribtion weapon we know of at present is the ‘hydrogen bomb’, its power is at the peak Eighth Stage Realm and is simply frightening.”
Schr Xian Gong: “...” <i>You already knew since a few days ago?</i>
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator continued, “Ever since I learned about the modernization of the heavenly tribtion, I immediately began trying to contact you, but I couldn’t reach you. I think you should have already begun transcending the tribtion at that time.”
Fairy Lychee: “Now isn’t the time to be talking nonsense. Is there any way we can help him? Furthermore... the emergence of a nuclear bomb during the heavenly tribtion of the Seventh Stage is too ridiculous. Senior Xian Gong, can you look at it more carefully and see if it’s a guided missile and not a nuclear bomb?”
Schr Xian Gong looked at the ‘nuclear bomb’ that was forming, and sighed, “I don’t think I’ve made a mistake. You should know that I’ve been studying nuclear bombs ever since that ident.”
So, was it a genuine heavenly tribtion nuclear bomb?
“Could it be an inner demon tribtion?” Frice Reckless Mad Saber said, “An inner demon tribtion would attack the most vulnerable part of a person’s heart. Senior Xian Gong was traumatized due to nuclear weapons, so could it be that at thest junction of the heavenly tribtion, his inner demon transformed into a ‘nuclear bomb’, the thing that he feared the most?”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s words made a lot of sense.
In fact, under that death-seeking shell was a meticulous mind.
Schr Xian Gong smiled bitterly and said, “If it were an inner demon tribtion, I don’t think that I would have the time to go online and share myst words with everyone.”
An inner demon tribtion would not give a cultivator the opportunity to prepare; its only objective was to overwhelm the cultivator thanks to their inner demons.
At this time, Fairy Heavenly Sound [Soft Feather] said, “If you really don’t have any other option... Senior Xian Gong, perhaps you should try the ‘crouching down and holding your head’ tribtion transcending technique.”
“Huh?” Schr Xian Gong was confused. What was she trying to say? Why did she want him to assume such a cowardly posture during the heavenly tribtion?
Soft Feather said, “This was how the second, third, and fourth Sages in a thousand years transcended their tribtions. If you really can’t find a way to deal with the nuclear bomb, you can try crouching down and hold your head while shaking vigorously... maybe, you can transcend the tribtion this way.”
Schr Xian Gong: “...” <i>There are already a second, third, and fourth Sage in a thousand years now? In the short few days since I’ve begun transcending my tribtion... What in the world has been taking ce in the outside world?</i>
Schr Xian Gong felt like everything he knew was already outdated, and the outside world had seemingly entered a new era.
At this time, no one in the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ refuted Soft Feather’s words. After all, a few days ago, among the second, third, and fourth Sages in a thousand years, two had done exactly what she had said, while the other one was directly kneeling down as he transcended the tribtion. Those postures were simply too shocking and unique for one to forget about them.
Only Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched, for he knew what had truly happened to Pce Master Seven Lives Talisman, Daoist Priest Horizon, and Eternity. Everything had been the doing of that high-quality puppet in his hands.
After thinking about it, Song Shuhang turned on the voice function.
Tyrannical Song: “Senior Xian Gong, can you take a closer look. Is it really a nuclear bombuncher?”
“Tyrannical Song, are you little friend Song Shuhang?” Schr Xian Gong said, looking up at the nuclear bomb silo that had been finished forming, “I can’t be wrong. After I got out of secluded meditation thest time, I filled my brain with knowledge rted to nuclear weapons.”
Schr Xian Gong continued, “It’sing, the nuclear bomb wasunched... I’m done for!” He sighed, and then put everything he had in setting up defensive formations.
The power of the heavenly tribtion nuclear bomb was way higher than an actual nuclear bomb, and the destructive power of the nuclear bomb this time was much greater than that of the nuclear bomb that had exploded on his head that year.
<i>I am going to die!</i>
At this time, in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Song Shuhang thought for a moment and said, “Well, I want to congratte Senior Xian Gong in advance for sessfully ascending to the Venerable Realm.”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “???”
Song Shuhang spected and said, “I don’t know why nuclear bombs appeared in Senior Xian Gong’s heavenly tribtion of the Seventh Stage, but if it really is a nuclear bomb, its power is likely going to exceed the limit this world can handle. As such, I am afraid that it cannot truly explode in the main world.”
Why were cultivators pulled into the Heavenly Tribtion Realm when they took on the heavenly tribtion of the Eighth Stage? It was because the destructive power of the heavenly tribtion of the Eighth Stage was too high, and it would cause too much damage in the main world.
Fairy Lychee asked, “But what if this nuclear bomb really explodes?”
Song Shuhang said, “If it really does explode, its power would be weakened until it cannot affect the main world too much. With that being the case, the power of the explosion would be within the limits that Senior Xian Gong can withstand.”
In his Inner World, there was arge number of nuclear bombs, and there was still a steady stream of new nuclear bombs being transferred in by Venerable White. Song Shuhang did not study these nuclear bombs intensively, but the Inner World was, after all, a ce under his control.
Whenever he was idle or in meditation, his consciousness would casually sweep through the nuclear bombs in the Inner World, and gradually, he ended up gaining a certain understanding of them.
When the Bright Moon Appears: “If that’s the case, it’s truly great. There won’t be another decrease in the numbers of our ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.”
Thirty years ago, in their small circle of friends, there was a certain Sword Monarch Liu Er. When he took on the heavenly tribtion of the Seventh Stage, he got possessed by his inner demons and died amidst the fire of tribtion. Such a thing was something that none of them wanted to happen again.
Fairy Lychee: “??? I hope Schr Xian Gong will live through this tribtion.”
Young Master Phoenix yer: “??? I hope little friend Shuhang’s guess is right.”
I’m that little white crane at the edge of the Earth’s End: “??? Although I don’t like little friend Song, I hope that he’s right this time. May Fellow Daoist Xian Gong be safe.”
The fellow daoists who were online sent ‘candle emojis’ as they prayed for Schr Xian Gong.
Song Shuhang: “...”
After receiving the notification from his clone, the especially busy True Monarch Yellow Mountain found the time to go online, and he felt the corners of his mouth twitch as he looked at the chat records
True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s heart felt stifled—he had told Fairy Lychee previously that the ‘candle emoji’ was not an emoji for blessings, it was more like ‘condolences’ for Schr Xian Gong.
Young Master Phoenix yer: “Right, just now, Senior Xian Gong didn’t say where he was transcending the tribtion. Can you lock onto him and see what’s going on over there? I’m feeling really anxious, meow.”
Fairy Dongfang Six: “Phoenix yer, be patient. Maybe after a while, Senior Xian Gong wille online again?”
Young Master Phoenix yer: “But we can’t just wait here, we have to do something.”
True Monarch Yellow Mountain went online, and said gravely, “Don’t worry and wait. I’ll try to see if I can find Fellow Daoist Xian Gong’s location through his phone. In addition, what little friend Shuhang said makes sense. I feel that Fellow Daoist Xian Gong should be able to sessfully get through this wave of the tribtion.”
When True Monarch Yellow Mountain appeared, many people in the group calmed down. In the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, True Monarch Yellow Mountain yed the role of a central pir. Although his cultivation might not be the highest within the group, his position in the group was irreceable.
Time flew by.
After about five minutes.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain: “Alright, there’s no need to search for his coordinates anymore, Fellow Daoist Xian Gong is safe.”
“F*ck, I’ve finally got a signal again.” Schr Xian Gong sent another voice message.
Young Master Phoenix yer congratted him, “Congrattions to Senior Xian Gong for sessfully transcending the tribtion.”
Fairy Lychee said, “Congrattions to Senior Xian Gong, you’re now an authentic Venerable!” In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, there was now a new authentic Venerable as well as two fake Profound Sages.
Frice Reckless Mad Saber said, “Senior Xian Gong, after consolidating your realm, you must remember to treat us.”
For a while, the entire group was filled with messages congratting Schr Xian Gong.
Nobody within the group wanted a fellow daoist to suddenly never be able to go online again. Such an event was truly something that nobody hoped to happen.
The separation brought about by death was one of the greatest pains in the world, it was something that could even affect cultivators with firm hearts.
Schr Xian Gong quickly replied, “Thank you, everyone. I’ve made everybody worry for nothing.”
Fairy Lychee: “Senior Xian Gong, what happened? Did the nuclear bomb explode?”
Was it an inner demon tribtion? Or was it as Song Shuhang had guessed and the bomb was either something that Schr Xian Gong could handle or simply ‘fireworks’?
The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group all wanted to know what had happened.
“It really exploded. To be honest, the moment it exploded, my heart went cold. The momentum, pressure, and that terrible shock wave were not something that I could have handled. I really thought that I was going to die. However, I did not expect that its power would turn out to be weak as it reached me after exploding... it wasn’t evenparable to the carpet bombing of the fighter jets from before. This wave of the heavenly tribtion was truly scary, and my liver is still trembling to this moment! I will clean up the traces of my transcension first. Fellow daoists, just wait for me to return to China, I’ll make sure to satisfy everyone with the treat!” Schr Xian Gongughed and said.

Inside the Inner World, Song Shuhang and Su n’s Sixteen were also relieved.
Little Cai asked, “Chirp, Teacher, has Sage Monarch Melon Eater appeared yet?”
