Chapter 24: Stealing Heavenly Secrets
“Wuxiao, are you ready to go out and see the Five-Colored Aurora Phenomenon tonight? We still need to explore and search for traces of that phoenix!” Ling Xiaoxing said, eager to go.
“Mmm…”
Ye Changsheng clutched his head, his cheeks flushed, and his response was slow.
“You only drank a little Erguotou just now, how could you get drunk?”
“Sorry, Senior Sister Xiaoxing, I’m not very good at drinking. I want to lie down for a while.”
Ye Changsheng walked towards a room in the inn.
“Tonight, without me.”
“Hey, wait for me!” Ling Xiaoxing grabbed Ye Changsheng’s hand. “You’re the one who called me over and piqued my interest, and now you plan to run away?”
Ye Changsheng slowly turned his head, his eyes hazy.
“Alright, then Senior Sister Xiaoxing, take me with you too!”
Ye Changsheng stumbled towards

Ling Xiaoxing, and the short Ling Xiaoxing was knocked to the ground by Ye Changsheng.
“You stinking Cultivation Cauldron, get up!”
“No, no, I want to go see the meteor shower with Senior Sister Xiaoxing…”
“What meteor shower? It’s the Five-Colored Aurora Phenomenon. You’re making me so angry! Your alcohol tolerance is so low, don’t drink recklessly!”
Exasperated, Ling Xiaoxing pushed Ye Changsheng away. Seeing his state, she understood that he was in no condition to go out.
She dragged Ye Changsheng back to the bedroom and then forcefully threw him onto the bed.
“Fine, you stay here today. I’ll go myself,” Ling Xiaoxing complained as she covered Ye Changsheng with a blanket.
Just as she was about to leave, Ye Changsheng suddenly grabbed Ling Xiaoxing’s hand, stopping her, making the young girl’s heart pound.
“Wait, Senior Sister, don’t go too far,” Ye Changsheng slurred, “otherwise, I might start dancing.”
“What kind of logic is that? You’re like an idiot,” Ling Xiaoxing shook off Ye Changsheng’s hand, her face turning red.
She glanced at the young man lying on the bed, grinning foolishly like an idiot, and sighed.
“Forget it, I know. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on you, so you don’t go crazy and embarrass our Wuhua Palace.”
“Mmm, that’s great.”
Ye Changsheng suddenly jumped up and started taking off his clothes.
“You, what are you doing now!!” Ling Xiaoxing covered her face with her hands, peeking through her fingers.
Although he looked thin, his physique was actually quite sturdy…
No, why am I focusing on this!
“Sleeping, Senior Sister Xiaoxing, do you want to come join me?” Ye Changsheng babbled incoherently.
“Idiot!!”
Ling Xiaoxing couldn’t bear to stay any longer, cursed, and ran out of the room.
Hearing her footsteps recede, Ye Changsheng, who had been acting like a drunkard, returned to his usual calm state.
“This is good. The alibi has been created. However, to be safe…”
Ye Changsheng put on his clothes and took out the Shadow Splitting Talisman he had prepared before setting off. He chanted the incantation and released it, creating a clone. He then had the clone lie on the bed, with everything ready.
Next, the supreme divine ability Ye Changsheng was about to use would bring considerable danger. To prevent Ling Xiaoxing from being involved, he used the excuse of being drunk to keep her here and ensure her safety.
He opened the window of the room and leaped out. Using his excellent movement technique, he treaded as silently as falling leaves and merged into the night.
…
“Really, that idiot Wuxiao. I finally wanted to see the scenery with you, but he’s such a dense, incorrigible guy.”
Ling Xiaoxing muttered to herself as she arrived outside the inn. Worried, she didn’t go far, stopping by the small stream’s bridge.
A large number of low-level Cults from Fengluo Village also came outside, making the usually quiet village lively for a while.
“Everyone, look quickly, it’s the Five-Colored Aurora Phenomenon!” someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone’s gaze turned to the sky.
Ling Xiaoxing looked up and saw a magnificent sight.
In the clear, clean starry night, a colorful and soft curtain of light descended, as if moving with the wind, constantly changing its shape.
It was like legends say, where a phoenix flew, it left behind colorful radiance.
This sacred scene seemed to have a wondrous effect, bringing an inexplicable sense of peace to the mind, making one forget the worries of the mortal world, and allowing Ling Xiaoxing to enjoy a rare moment of tranquility.
It was also rare that someone mentioned Fengluo Village had once been inhabited by a phoenix.
“Charge! Let’s quickly find the opportunities left behind by the phoenix!”
Although most people were silently appreciating the celestial phenomenon, a significant portion of them took to Flying with [object], attempting to seize the opportunity.
Ling Xiaoxing’s heart was a little tempted, but thinking of Ye Changsheng, she stayed put.
…
“According to the divination of the Four Symbols Feng Shui technique, the most suitable location should be here.”
“It’s just that there shouldn’t be anyone nearby, so there won’t be any witnesses.”
“Without further ado, let’s begin.”
…
BOOM!!
A clap of thunder exploded in the sky. The peaceful night sky was suddenly covered by a vast area of thunderclouds, which began to unleash bolts of heavenly lightning.
A few Cults who were Flying with [object] in the sky were unlucky and were struck directly, falling down.
Fortunately, the thunderclouds had only just begun to gather, and they only suffered minor injuries.
“Why are there tribulation clouds here?” “Could a powerful being be undergoing Tribulation in Fengluo Village to ascend to immortality?!” “Aren’t you coming back? Fellow Daoists, do you all want to die?!”
The thunder, which resounded in all directions, grew louder and louder, and the black thunderclouds rapidly expanded.
The Five-Colored Aurora Phenomenon seemed to be manipulated, changing its patterns in an orderly fashion. The profound mysteries within were beyond the comprehension of cultivators at the initial stages. Apart from exclaiming “Holy shit,” they could say nothing.
The power of the lightning intensified. This action seemed to have angered Heaven, which sent down tribulation clouds to stop the powerful being.
Lightning raged across the heavens and earth, as if Fengluo Village would be engulfed at any moment,

and everyone annihilated.
“Mercy, Exalted One, mercy!” “Exalted One, please retract your divine abilities! I still want to live for a few more years!” “Exalted One, sob, please don’t drag me into your Tribulation Crossing, I’m still a virgin!”
The Cults knelt on the ground, crying out in desperation towards the center of the tribulation. Without the powerful being’s permission, none of them dared to flee on their own.
Ling Xiaoxing was stunned. Even when the Palace Mistress broke through to the Integration Stage, there was nothing this shocking.
Her whole body trembled, as if the strength in her spine had been drained. When she came to her senses, she was already on the ground, her mind blank, filled only with fear of the mysterious powerful being.
“To think there’s still such a powerful Exalted One in this world…”
…
In the center of the Five-Colored Aurora Phenomenon, Ye Changsheng was using a protective technique, enduring the lightning tribulation and employing his supreme divine ability – Heavenly Divine Calculation.
Listening to the earth-shattering sounds around him, Ye Changsheng felt like his ears were about to explode, and he couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.
“I only intend to take a tiny bit of heavenly secrets, not be as excessive as Master. Heavenly Dao, please calm down.”
