Chapter 101: Small Fry
Fenghua rubbed her butt with a hiss. “Main body didn’t have to use so much force. It was only a joke.”
She was currently residing inside Tianyi’s martial body, his cosmos. Normally, this would not have been possible even if Tianyi’s had a conceptual cosmos in his body as it was still far from the real thing. He was unable to bring objects into it, much less living things into his body. Even pills had to be swallowed. But Fenghua was different as she was technically a part of Tianyi.
“Why did say I such a stupid thing!?” Fenghua internally screamed as she held her head in a fetal position. She didn’t know what went over her. After awakening, her mind just shortcircuited after realizing that she had been naked and thus leading to her nervousness, making Fenghua speak words without running them through her brain.
Although both of them were Tianyi at the fundamental level, they couldn’t share their thoughts at all. Otherwise, Tianyi would have known how nervous Fenghua was.
Keep in mind that Fenghua’s core was still Tianyi, so what does this say about Tianyi?Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
“Still, it’s quite lonely here,” Fenghua whispered as she uncurled herself from her fetal position and gazed into the infinite cosmos.
She could glimpse the single sun-like and eight planet-like cores, the five Nascent Souls sitting above the Dragon Yin Pearl Core, and the endless sea of dazzling stars that filled the space around her.
Despite being seemingly stranded in outer space without any protection, a hostile environment that would pose threats to most Nascent Soul Grandmasters, Fenghua felt no such dangers. In total contrast, it felt as if she submerged in a warm liquid that protected her completely. Although it was a disgusting comparison, Fenghua felt like she was a baby still in her mother’s womb.
But there was no one else besides her here. She was just a speck of dust in this vast world, alone.
Fenghua knew that this wasn’t true, but she still couldn’t shake off the melancholic feeling. It was as if no one in the world truly understood her. As Tianyi’s clone, neither she nor Tianyi could easily allow anyone else to know that they were foreigners, but the more you suppressed something, the more it wanted to erupt.
Fenghua closed her eyes as she allowed her body to drift in the warm embrace of the cosmos.
The cosmos was saturated with Tianyi’s Chaos True Qi. It was originally something that Fenghua should not have been able to stand, both as a Foundation Establishment Disciple and someone who did not cultivate any of the Heavenly Scriptures. But under Tianyi’s deliberate control, the chaotic qi became gentle like a spring breeze, allowing Fenghua to absorb it.
Fenghua snapped open her eyes. There was a deep urgency in her eyes.
Tianyi paused in his steps as he walked out after receiving Fenghua’s message. The corner of his lips twitched while he suppressed the urge to introduce his face to the palm of his hand.
Tianyi had exited his room a while earlier. After compensating the owner for the damage caused by the Tribulation Lightning, he and Elder Meng left Ocean Lake City so that he could find a place to deposit his clone away from prying eyes.
And he had a small time frame to do it as well because the Heavenly Connection Gathering was starting the next day. But at least it would divert the attention away from his clone. Not that Tianyi was underestimating the local forces, but he was warier of the first-rate sect’s forces discovering his newly created clone.
But now, his clone had done it. Tianyi had purposely made his qi gentler so his clone wouldn’t be harmed, but who knew that she would go and absorb it. And she had absorbed too much! Now she would begin her Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation at any moment.
Tianyi looked up, expecting to see the aggregation of Tribulation Clouds at this very moment. But there was no such thing, to his surprise.
“Is there something wrong, young master?” Elder Meng asked from behind.
“No, it’s nothing,” Tianyi said as he continued to strode forward.
Can the Heavenly Tribulation not detect my clone while she is inside of me? Once she exits, doesn’t this mean that the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation would immediately begin? Ugh, just when I wanted to be lowkey, she does this!
The tribulation clouds maintained their silence as if gathering power; it was an extremely familiar sight to Tianyi. As Tianyi expected, a giant in an embellished armor created from several bolts of Tribulation Lightning appeared. It appeared slightly different, but the general aspects were nearly the same as the one Tianyi faced in his Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.
Like a video on repeat, Tianyi once again formed his Cosmos Giant to fight the Tribulation Giant. But this time, the process was much different.
Unlike the previous time, Tianyi wasn’t physically or mentally exhausted, and he had long grown accustomed to his strength as a Nascent Soul Grandmaster. The Tribulation Giant fell under Tianyi’s hand even faster than the first time.
“That’s it? I feel as if that was too simple.” Tianyi muttered as he dispersed the Cosmos Giant. Although the Tribulation Giant was defeated, the Tribulation Clouds still lingered despite not having any more strength to send any bolts of Tribulation Lightning.
Tianyi descended back onto the ground that had long been destroyed between the battle of two giants. “Damn, it’d be weirder if no one detected anything strange. I can’t release Fenghua here. I’ll have to wait for another opportunity.”
“Couldn’t you have considered my plight more?” Fenghua grieved to Tianyi. She had worn the Earthly Flame Garment, but aside from that, it looked like someone had dragged through layers of dirt and rocks. Her hair was in a mess, and scratched covered her whole body.
“Shouldn’t you be more focused on forming your Spiritual Core instead of bantering with me?” Tianyi asked, annoyed more than anything.
“Can’t,”
“Excuse me?”
“I can’t. You took all the tribulation lightning, without overcoming the tribulation, I can’t form my Spiritual Core.” Fenghua said with a blaming expression upon her face.
Tianyi looked up. “Is that why the tribulation clouds haven’t dispersed?”
“So what are you going to do? If I’m stuck at this state, all your efforts would have been in vain.” Fenghua asked while resting her head on her palm.
“You just need to overcome the Tribulation Lightning of the Heavenly Dao. It’s not like I don’t have away. Have you forgotten? I can produce Tribulation Essence myself.” Tianyi said.
“Psh, we both know that it can’t compare to the real Tribulation Essence of the Heavenly Dao.” Fenghua rebutted.
“Yep.” Tianyi happily said. “But I just finished fighting a giant formed of Tribulation Essence and absorbed some of the Tribulation Lightning. I haven’t fully digested them, so I’ll just direct them towards you.”
“W-wa-wait a moment! You don’t even know if that would work!” Fenghua said as Tianyi pointed his finger at her without any warning.
“Don’t wanna,” As soon as Tianyi said that, a bolt of Tribulation Lightning had been directed at Fenghua. “Besides, since this Tribulation Lightning originated from your Heavenly Tribulation, it should suffice even though it came after me. Why are you such a small fry?”
Although Fenghua was unprepared, she still circulated her qi and manifested a barrier of flames. Tianyi’s clone cultivated Suiren’s Primogenitor Flame Scripture and thus was most skilled in flame techniques.
After much struggle, Fenghua resisted the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning from Tianyi.
“Asshole! That power definitely isn’t something a regular Foundation Establishment Cultivator can manage! It already reached the threshold of the Core Formation Realm in power!” Fenghua raged at Tianyi.
“Of course. You have all my experience and memories as a Nascent Soul Grandmaster. This should be a piece of cake for you. There are eight more. If you have the energy to complain, focus on this.” Tianyi said.
“ASSSSHOLLLEEEE!”
For the record, it did indeed sufficed for Fenghua to form her Spiritual Core.
