Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 146 Illusion! It must be an illusion!

Just before the secret realm was about to completely collapse, a figure suddenly flew out of the secret realm, barely landing on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, rushed back into the secret realm.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures jumped out and blocked the man.

"Shi Chuan! Wake up!" Ji Chen summoned the Azure Light Cauldron and stood in front of Shi Chuan together with Lu Yunqi.

"Get out of the way!" Shi Chuan ignored him completely, his eyes bloodshot, and kept rushing inside.

His master and junior brother did not come out...

Lu Yunqi took a blow from Shi Chuan, and his arm was slightly numb from the impact. If he and Ji Chen hadn't taken advantage of Shi Chuan's focus on the entrance and launched a sneak attack, knocking Shi Chuan out, they really wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

"If you block my way again, you die!"

Shi Chuan knew they meant well, but inside were two of his closest relatives! Moreover, he had helped Jing Shu get in.

If they can't get out, what will he do? How will he face Meng'er and Jingyou when he goes back to see them?

Seeing that Shi Chuan was no longer listening to anything, Ji Chen gritted his teeth and directly enlarged the Azure Light Cauldron, suppressing Shi Chuan.

"You must trust Immortal Venerable Hanluo and Brother Jing, they will definitely be alright! If you are trapped inside and can't get out, they will find a way to rescue you!"

Ji Chen shouted loudly. Although he hadn't seen them come out yet, Ji Chen believed in them, especially Jing Shu!

Although Ji Chen's cultivation level was not as high as Shi Chuan's, a divine artifact was still a divine artifact, and trapping Shi Chuan in a short time was not a problem.

Ji Chen looked towards the entrance. "Brother Jing, hurry up and come out! Your senior brother is going crazy with worry!"

No one was coming out of the entrance, and inside, the collapse continued.

"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened!!!" Qingguang Ding's panicked voice suddenly rang out, startling Ji Chen.

"what happened?"

"That Shi Chuan! He's going to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!" Qing Guangding looked at Shi Chuan inside his body and continued, somewhat amused and exasperated, "He can't break through my restrictions, so he's decided to summon heavenly lightning to strike me!"

"What?!" Ji Chen and the other person exclaimed at the same time.

Not long after Qingguang Ding finished speaking, thunderclouds gathered in the sky above them. Shi Chuan was actually going to advance to the Nascent Soul stage at this moment! Completely unprepared, just to break through Qingguang Ding!

Lu Yunqi and the other man locked eyes, each with only one thought in their minds—truly worthy of being Hanluo Immortal Venerable's disciple! Truly worthy of being Jing Shu's senior brother!

But isn't this making things difficult for them?!

Seeing the thunderclouds gradually taking shape, Ji Chen had no choice but to retrieve the Azure Light Cauldron. The Azure Light Cauldron was his; if he used it to shield Shi Chuan from the heavenly lightning, the Heavenly Dao would judge it as aiding and abetting cheating, and the tribulation would only intensify.

The Azure Cauldron was taken back, and Shi Chuan had been waiting for this moment. He rushed towards the exit of the secret realm at an extremely fast speed.

Shi Chuan was determined to go back, and neither Ji Chen nor Lu Yunqi could stop him at this moment. But just as Shi Chuan was about to enter, he was forced back by an extremely familiar spiritual force.

Shi Chuan's eyes widened, and his body reacted faster than his brain, retreating along with the spiritual energy.

"Master!" Shi Chuan's voice was filled with joy. This was Master's spiritual power!

Han Luo slowly walked out from the entrance, releasing his full cultivation and radiating a terrifying pressure. His eyes and brows were devoid of warmth, as cold as ice. Shi Chuan knew at a glance: his master had returned!

However, in his master's arms, Jing Shu, who had fallen into a coma, was still being held. This turned the joy in Shi Chuan's eyes into worry.

"Master, what's wrong with Junior Brother?" Shi Chuan asked anxiously.

"It's alright, Jing Shu will be fine."

Han Luo's answer reassured Shi Chuan, who relaxed upon hearing it, as the lightning tribulation in the sky had completely gathered.

"Master, I'm going to undergo my tribulation first. Please wait for me."

After saying that, Shi Chuan vanished from his spot in an instant, and the thunderclouds drifted away with him.

Han Luo was very reassured about Shi Chuan. He had just checked and found that Shi Chuan's cultivation was very solid. He believed that Shi Chuan could overcome this tribulation.

Han Luo refocused her attention on Jing Shu, slowly walked to a flat area, gently placed Jing Shu on the ground, and turned to Ji Chen and the other person who had been standing quietly to the side since he came out.

"I would like to trouble you two to look after Jing Shu for me. I am going to undergo a tribulation of lightning and will be back soon."

"Ah... okay, okay, no problem!" Ji Chen came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

Han Luo nodded slightly and disappeared from the spot. Even further away than Shi Chuan, an even larger thundercloud gathered.

"Wait! What did Immortal Venerable Hanluo just say? Transcending the tribulation of lightning?!" Ji Chen seemed to suddenly realize something and shouted loudly.

“Hmm…” Lu Yunqi was equally shocked. “I had heard before that Immortal Venerable Hanluo’s cultivation had reached the Integration stage, and now, he should be about to advance to the Mahayana stage…”

"Damn it..." Ji Chen stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter these two words.

Immortal Venerable Hanluo, Shichuan, and Jingshu, aren't their advancement speeds a bit too terrifying...? Is this the cultivation speed of mutated spiritual roots?

Ji Chen didn't check on Jing Shu's physical condition. His master and senior brother were there, so he definitely didn't need to help. If he accidentally saw something he shouldn't have, it would be a big problem.

Although Ji Chen may seem unreliable, he is actually quite shrewd and knows how to maintain appropriate distance in his relationships with others, except for Lu Yunqi, of course.

Shi Chuan's tribulation ended earlier than Han Luo's, and apart from his clothes being a little dirty, he wasn't seriously injured. When Ji Chen saw him return, he entrusted him with the task of looking after Jing Shu.

Shi Chuan realized he was in the wrong and apologized to the two of them. Ji Chen simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

Lu Yunqi, on the other hand, looked excited and said, "When we have time, you can have a serious fight with me!"

Shi Chuan paused for a moment, then chuckled softly. He saw the same fighting spirit in Lu Yunqi's eyes as he did. "Alright."

Advancing to the Mahayana stage requires enduring eighty-one heavenly tribulations, but Han Luo only took a quarter of an hour to complete the tribulation and return to everyone's presence.

However, the dignified Mahayana cultivator frowned slightly when he saw his eldest disciple holding his second disciple.

"Master?"

Shi Chuan watched as Han Luo took his junior brother from his arms, feeling puzzled. Why did he feel that his master was suddenly a little angry? He had only picked up his junior brother because he saw that it was not good for him to be lying on the ground.

It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

Shi Chuan shook his head, dismissing the strange thought from his mind.

Only Ji Chen, who was not far away, widened his eyes slightly after witnessing this scene...
