Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 387 - 219 Heavenly Tribulation’s Great Spectacle, Look Again! (6400 words)_4
This light of merit was boundlessly grand, belonging to the countless cultivators within Vermilion Bird City. They had resisted the Demon Race, exorcised demons, protected the Dao, saved all living beings, and withstood a great calamity. For this, they were rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.
The merit falling upon Wang Xiu’s head was particularly substantial, like a golden pillar of light connecting Heaven and Earth. Under the cleansing of this golden light, his body seemed to grow even more upright and imposing. He was like an immortal god, dazzling and brilliant.
BOOM!
His cultivation level broke through. Wang Xiu’s strength took another step forward, reaching the Seventh Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Everyone watched this unfold with astonishment, but they harbored no feelings of jealousy. In this battle, Wang Xiu had been like a god of war, slaying countless members of the Demon Race. The mere mention of his name intimidated many a Great Demon—a sight witnessed by all.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Wang Xiu hadn’t been there, the battle, even if won, would have been absolutely brutal. The casualty rate would likely have been as high as sixty to seventy percent.
The rest, such as Ye Guhong, Luo Hongyi, Li Xuanqi, and other prodigies, had also contributed greatly. They received equally rich rewards of merit as runes emerged on their bodies, faintly coating them in a golden radiance. Clearly, their gains were also significant.
"Hiss... I almost forgot something..." Looking at the golden light of merit, Wang Xiu slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering. He turned, faced the sky, and bowed several times with great sincerity. "Thank you, mighty Heavenly Dao, for taking time out of your busy schedule to smite me!"
BOOM!
The moment he finished speaking, a thunderbolt crashed down right beside his feet, blasting a large crater from which black smoke billowed.
Wang Xiu: "..."
His mouth twitched. The old master Heavenly Dao has quite a temper. He just handed out merits, and in the blink of an eye, he’s turned hostile...
The thought had barely formed when...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Six consecutive thunderbolts fell, striking in a circle around Wang Xiu and scorching the ground black.
Wang Xiu’s liver trembled in fright! He could feel the soles of his shoes growing hot!
Everyone: "..."
"Senior Brother, perhaps you should tone it down next time... The old master Heavenly Dao is also quite busy, you know!" Ji Zidian said, cautiously walking up and tugging on Wang Xiu’s sleeve.
That was the Heavenly Dao! The supreme and transcendent Heavenly Dao. Yet Wang Xiu had treated it like an underling, summoning it seven times in a row. Who wouldn’t lose their temper over that?
"Ahem..." Wang Xiu touched his nose, a bit embarrassed.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
At that moment, the communication waist tokens of the prodigies began to vibrate one after another. They took them out and looked, and expressions of joy immediately appeared on their faces.
"The situation at Demon Sea Island has been handled!"
"Hundreds of Saint Ancestors rushed over. They not only forced those restless demons back but also sealed the breach once again!"
"Phew, that’s great news!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"..."
The prodigies were overjoyed. This was a cause for great celebration. The seal on Demon Sea Island hadn’t completely broken, so it wasn’t too late to mend the damage. The worst-case scenario had been averted.
"Junior Brother Wang Xiu, we must take our leave now!" Li Xuanqi said as she approached. Her long, graceful legs shone like jade, her beautiful curves fair and captivating in the sunlight. She looked at Wang Xiu, her lovely eyes blinking with a hint of reluctance. They had received word from their sect elders to return to the Immortal Sect as quickly as possible, likely for an important matter.
"Take care, Senior Sister Li!" Wang Xiu said with a smile, clasping his hands.
"We’ve been through life and death together, and all I get is a simple ’take care’?" Li Xuanqi’s gaze was teasing, though the tips of her ears were slightly red.
The onlookers exchanged strange glances. Why was the famously pure and aloof Saintess of Mount Shu suddenly acting like a pouting young maiden? Her tone was almost coquettish.
"Uh..." Wang Xiu hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to give Li Xuanqi a light hug. "Come visit me at Spirit Turtle Peak when you have time. I’ll roll out the red carpet for you!"
"I will!" Li Xuanqi’s cheeks flushed faintly as she finally turned and left.
"So annoying! I don’t wanna go!" Zhang Yuge complained, shuffling over unhappily.
"You’re a Saint Heir, try to be a bit more dignified!" Wang Xiu chided with a laugh, patting his shoulder. "It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. I have a feeling we’ll be fighting side-by-side again very soon!"
"I hope that day comes quickly!" Zhang Yuge grinned, giving Wang Xiu a firm hug before he too departed.
One by one, the other prodigies—Bei Tangfeng, Qingzhou, Sima Yulong—all stepped forward to bid Wang Xiu a solemn farewell.
Soon, only the members of the Sanqing Immortal Sect remained, and the scene suddenly felt a little desolate.
"Let’s head back too," Wang Xiu said with a smile. Sect Leader Zhuo Canglang had been sending urgent messages urging them to return; he had already sent several in just the past few moments.
"Senior Brother Wang Xiu, I want one too!" Ji Zidian suddenly declared, looking up and shaking his arm while pouting.
"But we’re not separating," Wang Xiu replied with a slight frown.
"I don’t care! I want one! You hugged them!" Ji Zidian pouted.
"Alright, alright..." Wang Xiu sighed helplessly and stepped forward to hug Ji Zidian.
"Ahem!"
Just then, an ill-timed cough echoed from above.
A cloud ship, bearing the unique insignia of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, broke through the sea of clouds.
Zhuo Canglang and the other elders stood at the prow, looking down. It seemed they had grown too impatient to wait and had come to pick up Wang Xiu’s group personally. Ji Yan was also in the crowd, and he happened to see that exact moment, causing him to glare, his beard puffing out in anger.
