Chapter 236 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (50)

“Everything I brought for you is the best from various places. I visited about two hundred cities. I want to tell you, there’s no such thing as unworthy, only whether you can or cannot. A’Jin, A’Zhuo, you are both excellent young men.”

Shen Zhuo’s lips curved slightly into a smile. Having such a good Master, it would be unusual not to be attached.

Seeing his respected Master’s affirmation, Zhong Jin felt a surge of happiness. He took out the candies and pastries he had specially bought and handed them to Shen Zhuo. “I planned to give these to you together with Master. Though they don’t compare to what Master gave, they are the best I could find. You deserve the finest.”

Fang Xingyun placed a bottle of wine, aged thirty years, beside Shen Zhuo. “This is a fine wine from the mortal realm. Shen Zhuo, you deserve it.”

Su Wen offered several packages of candied haws. “These were my favorite treats when I was younger. I’m not sure if you’ll like them, but I want you to try the best.”

Kong Qing presented a pile of sugared chestnuts. “They’re very tasty. Give them a try.”

Sheng Mingchu also brought wine. “My gift overlaps with Senior Brother Fang’s. Please don’t mind it, Junior Brother.”

Sheng Tingfeng handed over a longevity lock made of pure gold. “This is a longevity lock to secure happiness and peace. I give it to you, Senior Brother.”

Shen Zhuo blankly stared at them, his eyes reflecting a faint, fragile light. An emotion filled his entire being, a tingling sensation with tears welling up.

He touched his face and found it damp.

“Master, I don’t quite understand.”

He longed for a clear answer.

Bai Tang, however, was patient. “My little disciple is talented. Life is long, and you will understand in time. Follow your heart; it will not deceive you.”

“Alright.”

He trusted his Master’s words.

As Shen Zhuo’s realm began to loosen, his cultivation approached a breakthrough.

The group distanced themselves to guard Shen Zhuo.

Bai Tang set up a protective restriction around Shen Zhuo. “Focus on your breakthrough. Your Master is here.”

In this world, only after the Golden Core was condensed would one face the Thunder Tribulation, and some people would attempt to hinder the growth of geniuses by striking at them during their tribulation. However, here, no one dared to approach Bai Tang, and no one dared to make a move against her.

What a joke! Who would dare to make a move? With one blow, two powerhouses at the Tribulation Crossing stage were left with serious internal injuries. They didn’t possess that level of cultivation—who would be foolish enough to try?

Shen Zhuo put all the gifts he had received into his storage bag and prepared to face the Thunder Tribulation with peace of mind.

In his previous life, he had been deep in the Abyss, and each time he faced the tribulation, he would die several times before surviving. In this life, as he condensed the Golden Core on Fanjing Peak, with his Master protecting him, he had suffered almost no harm.

The tribulation clouds gathered, and someone was breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage. However, with the golden restriction in place, no one dared to disturb them.

Prince Shen, the Ancestor, Shen Nianyun, Shen Congbin, and Gao Yikang were all seething with anger. They were bound and silenced.

Heavens only knew how much they wished to break free from their restraints and deal with these people properly. But who could have guessed Bai Tang’s origins? Her terrifying strength made dealing with late stage Tribulation Crossing powerhouses seem like dealing with weaklings.

Shen Zhuo was surprised to find that the Thunder Tribulation, when it struck him, felt like a mere tickle. It only became fierce later, but still, it wasn’t deadly.

After overcoming the tribulation, Shen Zhuo distinctly felt the difference the new cultivation level brought. Moreover, he still couldn’t see through Bai Tang’s cultivation.

Bai Tang reached out and helped Shen Zhuo to his feet. “Congratulations, little disciple. You’ve advanced to the Soul Transformation stage.”

Zhong Jin gently patted his shoulder. “Congratulations, Junior Brother, on reaching a higher level. Truly, a once-in-a-millennium talent.”

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen.”

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Shen,”

…

Shen Zhuo rarely smiled, but this time he did. He took out some of the resources he had been hoarding and shared them with Zhong Jin, Fang Xingyun, and the other four.
